(Front Cover) BULLETIN OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, First District, Kirksville, Mo. Vol. IV, No. 2 September, 1904. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. Special Course, One Year, FOR TEACHERS IN RURAL AND OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. We offer a course of one year especially adapted to the purposes of teachers in rural and other elementary schools. It includes a review of Arithmetic and Grammar with a special view to thorough analysis and to methods of teaching these subjects; also United States History with map drawing and supplementary reading with a view to fitting teachers well to teach this subject in all schools where it may be needed; also twelve weeks, or one quarter, in Physiology and Dissection with a special view to methods of teaching Physiology, Hygiene, etc.; also six months, or two quarters, in Civil Government and Library Work with a view to a full knowledge of the subject and an acquaintance with the methods and resources of use in teaching the same. Combined with the foregoing we offer three quarters, or one “unit” of work, which may be elected from Algebra or Latin or Literature. This course is given for two purposes: I. As a special preparation and strong foundation for a regular Normal School course. 2. As a training for those rural and other elementary school teachers who can not, for the time being, pursue a full Normal School course. TABULATION OF PREPARATORY YEAR, OR SPECIAL TEACHERS' COURSE.

The following Elective Courses are offered, each requiring a sum total of eighteen academic and pedagogic units in addition to the requirements heretofore specified for the preparatory or special teachers' course. A unit consists of thirty six weeks' work, five days in the week, 50 minute class periods. This is substantially the same as heretofore. Constants. It is agreed that no one shall graduate from any advanced course or four years' course of the Institution who does not offer among the above mentioned eighteen units the following ten: Three units in Pedagogy; three, in English; two, in Mathematics; one, in History; and one, in Science. For working purposes all subjects are separated into three classes: The following academic subjects requiring preparation constitute Class One: English, Latin, Mathematics, Science, History, German, French, Greek, Library Work. The following subjects constitute Class Two; Reading, Physical Culture, Gymnasium Work, Vocal Music, Drawing, Manual Training, Military Drill. Pedagogy, Psychology, History of Education, Special Methods, Practice School Work, Kindergarten Theory and Practice, and other Professional subjects constitute Class Three. Subjects -- No. of units offered -- Minimum to be offered by student, if any in by the school the subjects be offered.

In any special course such as the Kindergarten Course not less than nine academic units from Class one will be required and not less than three units from Class three. In such special Elective Course six units may be offered as special elective units and these may be agreed upon by the student, the President and the head of the department interested. But notice: In order to graduate by any Elective Course one academic subject must be elected which shall constitute the major academic subject or the contemplated specialty of the student. In such major subject at least four units shall be offered. Around these are to be clustered others which shall constitute related minors. No unit will be accepted unless all lower units in the same department are first finished. If German, French or Greek be offered the last year's work in the subject must be done in this Institution. All subjects must be pursued in natural order and all programs of students are subject to the approval of the interested department teachers and the President. Notice especially the definition of a unit: also that every stated course and every elective course contains eighteen units and that these are based upon the requirements of the preparatory year. Notice to former students: You will see, by adding the elective unit in the preparatory year, that you have as requirements in the above courses precisely the same number of units as were required last year.
