Railroad facilities are all that could be desired. The Wabash Railroad, with its numerous connections; the Hannibal & St. Joseph crossing the Wabash at Macon, and other connections of the Burlington system; the Port Arthur, crossing at this place and connecting at Pattonsburg with the Omaha and St. Louis Railway; at Trenton, with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, at Milan with the Chicago, Burlington & Kansas City, at West Quincy with the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northwestern, and extending through to Kansas City; and the Santa Fe extension from Kansas City to Chicago, crossing the Wabash at LaPlata, only a few miles south of Kirksville, render the school easy of access from every county in the district. Situated 200 miles northwest of St. Louis, the institution is accessible to a large and promising territory that is rapidly growing in population and in all the elements of thrift. Kirksville contains about 7,500 inhabitants-intelligent, moral and enterprising-and is growing rapidly. The citizens feel proud of the Normal and do all in their power to sustain it. DESIGN OF THE SCHOOL. The school was established and equipped as an institution to prepare teachers for the public schools of the state. It aims to prepare teachers by-- FIRST.--Giving thorough instructions in such branches of learning as are taught in public schools, including graded and the best high schools. SECOND.--Giving instruction in the theory of teaching, consisting of methods of study, methods of reciting, methods of instruction, and methods of governing. THIRD. --Training students in the art of teaching, by practice in the Training School. FOURTH.--Offering examples of good teaching. Instruction in the various branches of study embraced in a good public school course is combined with careful study of methods and actual training in the School of Practice. Special prominence is given to education as a science and as an art. School organization, class management, methods of recitation, and such other topics in school economy as are especially important to teachers, receive careful attention. The course of study and methods of teaching in this Normal School are based upon the following principles: 1. That proficiency in the art of teaching is dependent upon a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles of the science. 2. That every teacher should possess a historical as well as a philosophical knowledge of the means by which a harmonious development of the physical, intellectual and moral powers is secured. (Page 6) 6 State Normal School, First District, 3. That clear conceptions of methods can more readily be attained by an intelligent study of them in practical operation. 4. That our public schools should not be made practice rooms for pedagogical novitiates, but that defects should be remedied and skill acquired in training schools supervised by competent critics. 5. That development should always be paramount to acquisition. 6. That economy and adaptability should be the test of a method. 7. That self-government should be the aim of all discipline. 8. That high moral character is one of the essential qualifications of the good teacher. 9. That unity of aims and methods is necessary to the economic and successful management of the school system of the state. 10. That a training secured in working with appliances chosen with method in view always proves the most skillful. 11. That no teacher is properly equipped who is not familiar with the various methods of utilizing the material about him for illustrating simple lessons in all the physical sciences. KIND OF STUDENTS WANTED. Our work is special. We devote our whole time and energy to the training of teachers, and all our appliances have been gathered that we might offer better advantages to teachers. We invite all those who want to learn to teach, and those only. We want those who have good ability, good habits, and good purposes. We offer such our best help and encouragement. We can assist them greatly. When qualified to do good work as teachers we can help them to positions. COUNSEL TO THOSE WHO HAVE DECIDED TO ATTEND OUR SCHOOL. Arrange your plans to begin with the session, and be found in the assembly room the first morning of the term. Come with the determination of giving yourself wholly to school work. Expect to meet trials, difficulties and discouragements here, but prepare to meet them with courage and resolution and they will soon disappear. The chief advantage of our school is a high standard of conduct, study and recitation, a strong incentive to earnest and faithful work, resulting from many and diligent associates, and the encouragement of kind and faithful teachers. Come prepared to share in the work and in the rewards of study, and determine to do all that good students should do. DISCIPLINE. We are, in a measure, responsible to the State for the character and acquirements of each pupil graduated from the school. This being the case, we are compelled to exercise the most rigid scrutiny in reference to these matters; and offenses that in a mere academic institution might be passed over lightly, are here viewed as indicating the unfitness of the offender for taking charge of and training the children of the State. It sometimes happens that pupils are advised to withdraw from the school, or are even dismissed when no very serious charges are brought against them; these have merely convinced us that they are not suitable persons to enter the profession of teaching. (Page 7) State Normal School, First District. 7 No publicity is given to such cases, except when it becomes necessary to protect the school from false accusations. Nor is any action ever taken with a view of punishing the offenders. They are simply permitted to go to schools where they or their parents can pay for the work of discipline. The State can afford to educate for teachers only those above the need of such work. A HIGH STANDARD. This State Normal School proposes to maintain a high standard of excellence, both as to scholarship and as to attainments in model school work. Our inquiry is, and will remain, not how many can we graduate, but how many, and who, are thoroughly prepared for graduation? "Thoroughness" is our motto. For the sake of those who employ our teachers, and for the sake of the teachers themselves, we desire TO MAKE OUR DIPLOMAS VALUABLE and to preserve to them their value. Students can readily appreciate the increased value which will thus come to them, and we trust they will also appreciate the fact that they must themselves contribute to so desirable an end. LITERARY SOCIETIES. There are connected with the school three literary societies--Philomatheam Senior and Zetosophian. In these societies literary exercises, consisting of readings, declamations, essays, orations, debates, etc., are held weekly. The membership of these societies consist of the more advanced pupils of the school. Students not belonging to any of the societies are organized into rhetorical classes, which are under the immediate supervision of members of the faculty. The exercises of these classes are similar to those of the societies. The societies are under the supervision of members of the faculty. The work of the societies and rhetorical classes is a part of the regular school duties. It will be observed that these societies differ from the ordinary literary societies of colleges in that they are under the control of the faculty, and their work constitutes a part of the regular exercises of the school. This arrangement is adopted because it is believed that the training to be obtained thereby is of the greatest importance to the student. Aside from public speaking, the ability to express one's self aptly and impressively is an accomplishment without which no teacher can conduct his duties in the schoolroom with the greatest efficiency. For the sake, therefore, of being able to conduct the business of teaching with best results, as well as to offer to their pupils an example worthy of imitation, the normal students are expected to avail themselves to the fullest extent of the opportunities offered in these societies for acquiring the habit of speaking creditably. Neither the opportunity nor the conditions will probably ever again be so favorable for cultivating this art. Students are admitted to these societies by permission of the president of the school upon the recommendations of the leaders of the rhetorical classes. MEDALS. R. M. RINGO PRIZE MEDAL.--For the delivery of the best original oration R. M. Ringo, Ex-Treasurer of the Board of Regents, awards annually a $20 gold (Page 8) 8 State Normal School, First District medal. Contestants confined to the three and four years' classes are to be elected by the literary societies, subject to the approval of the faculty. The number of contestants is determined by the faculty. This medal was won this year by Mr. J. B. Stigall. Wm. T. BAIRD Prize Medal.-For the best declamation, W. T. Baird, Treasurer of the Board of Regents, annually awards a $15 gold medal. Contestants confined to the young ladies of the school in studies below the Junior Class and to be selected by the literary societies, subject to the approval of the faculty. This medal was won by Miss Lucy Rudasill. LIBRARY PRIZE MEDAL.-There will be awarded a $15 gold medal for the best declamation given by a young man of the school in studies below the Junior Class. The method of selecting the contestants and the time of holding the contest will be determined by the faculty. This medal was won by Mr. Jno. G. Brown. SPELLING PRIZE.-The President and Secretary of the school will award a prize to the student maintaining the highest grade in spelling during twenty weeks of the year. The manner of determining the same to be fixed by the faculty. This prize--an Unabridged Dictionary--was won by Miss Minnie Reed. NOTE.-All arrangements for these contests will be under the control of the faculty. HISTORICAL ESSAY PRIZE.-Messrs. Funk and Wagnalls, of New York, publishers of "The Columbian Historical Novels," by Jno. R. Musick, will award a $30 set of these books to the student writings/the best essay on some subject of American history. This prize was won by Miss Janie Anderson. LIBRARIES. 1. A general library which contains a considerable number of standard works of science, poetry, biography, fiction, general literature and history. These books are purchased mainly with money raised by the efforts of members of the faculty and the students in giving entertainments, etc. 2. A reference library, in which are kept various kinds of reports, encyclopedias, dictionaries and text-books. 3. A professional library is kept in the president's room, and in each department, and are designed to contain such books and reports as may aid students in the prosecution of their studies. These libraries are free to all students, and are found to be valuable helps. No efforts will be spared to increase these libraries until they shall have reached a magnitude commensurate in every respect with the needs of the school. READING ROOM. In addition to the above mentioned libraries, many of the leading current publications, monthlies, weeklies and dailies may be read by the students. An elegant reading-room has been provided in connection with the library. SCHOOL OFFICERS. We invite school officers and all friends of public instruction to assist us by advising those who are earnestly striving to make themselves good teachers, to (Page 8a) (Page 8b) PHILOMATHEAN HALL. SENIOR HALL. ZETOSOPHIAN HALL. (Page 9) State Normal School, First District. 9 enter some of the classes of the school. It may, however, in all kindness, be suggested that none be recommended who are not physically, mentally and morally fitted to become teachers of the public schools. A cordial invitation is extended to the teachers of the public schools of the state to spend as much of their time with us as they can use pleasantly and profitably. There are usually connected with the school, or known to the faculty, persons well qualified to teach, and willing to accept suitable positions. Letters in reference to teachers will be promptly answered, and if applications are definite and early enough, teachers can usually be supplied. ENTERTAINMENT COURSE. For the last several years, the school have provided a course of entertainments for the students at a very small cost. Arrangements have been made for a similar course next year with the following already secured: Dr. A. A. Willits in his popular lecture on "Sunshine;" Alex Black, in "Miss Jerry," and Maj. A. W. Hawks, in "Laughter." In addition to these, two first class musical entertainments will be provided. GENERAL REGULATIONS. All students are required to comply with the following, and such other requirements as the Board of Regents and Faculty may from time to time make known. 1. Students are required to be present at the morning exercises of the school, and at every recitation, and to perform faithfully all the duties assigned them. 2. Study hours in the normal building commence at 8:00 A. M., and include all the time the students are at the building, except at the regular recesses. Evening study hours extend from 6 to 9 P. M., during the first, second and third half terms; and from 7 to 10 during the fourth half term. 3. During study hours students are reqired to devote all time not employed in recitations to careful study, either in their own rooms or in the study room at the normal building. 4. No student shall discontinue a study except for good cause, of which the department teacher and president of the faculty shall be the judges. 5. All students are required to perform the assigned literary work in some one of the literary societies or rhetorical classes. 6. The frequent visiting of each others' rooms, lounging about town during study hours, and all unnecessary gallantry are prohibited. 7. Students are prohibited from visiting any billiard or pool room, or other similar places of resort. 8. The use of profane, obscene or quarrelsome language by any of the students is prohibted. 9. The use of tobacco in or near the normal building or premises is prohibited. Tobacco- using hinders intellectual progress, is unbecoming in a teacher, and ought not to be used in any form by the students. The indulgence in intoxicants of any kind is regarded as a serious offense, and is absolutely prohibited. Games of chance and other amusements that hinder study and injure the work or the reputation of (Page 10) 10 State formal School, First District. the school must not be indulged in by the students. The carrying of fire-arms by the students can not be allowed. 10. The courtesies and requirements of good society and of good morals apply to the management of the students in respect to personal association, so far as the Conditions under which the students live make possible. It is expected that under no conditions will lady students permit gentlemen to call upon them in their lodging rooms, and persons keeping boarding houses are held responsible for such violations, the faculty holding the right of forbidding students to lodge at places where these reasonable conditions are not enforced. Many things that could be permitted at home under the care of parents can not be allowed here, and students violating such special provisions will be considered not fit persons to become teachers and their connection with the school will be discontinued by the faculty. Admonition is given when necessary, and it is expected that thereafter no further cause will be given for criticism or advice. If heed is not given to such requests upon the part of any member of the faculty, the person so transgressing is disciplined. Heads of families keeping student boarders are expected to report any violations of the above regulations, or any other irregularities in deportment, to the president of the faculty. 11. Students leaving school without being regularly excused by the president will be considered suspended. 12. All graduates are requested to report to the president of the faculty, by letter or otherwise, at least once a year, giving postoffice address, and stating how they have been employed since leaving school. *All permissions and excuses required by the above regulations must be obtained of the president of the faculty, or from such persons as may be designated by him. SPECIAL REGULATIONS AND DIRECTIONS. 1. Conversation is not permitted in the library or reading rooms, as it results in confusion. 2. Loitering or loud talking in the halls or cloak rooms is forbidden. 3. Books, wraps, hats, caps, overshoes, umbrellas, etc., should be marked plainly by owners thereof so they may be known. 4. The city residence of every student is required at the office. In case change is made, report it at once. 5. Every case of sickness should be promptly reported to teachers and also to the office. 6. In passing to and from all classes, students are required to keep to the right in single file and refrain from conversation. In case it is necessary to cross a column, stop until you can proceed according to this rule. 7. Reasons for absence from school or from any class, are to be presented at the office before entering the class again; a failure to do so will result in the lowering of deportment. 8. All reasons for absence must be in writing and must be returned to the office after being exhibited to and signed by the several teachers. 9. Regular faculty meetings occur at 3 o'clock P. M., Mondays, during term time. Students must arrange their business with the facility to conform to this time. (Page 11) State Normal School, First District. 11 IMPORTANT TO STUDENTS. Expenses from $25 to $40 per term.--This is the total cost of board, light, fuel, books and incidental fee for a term often weeks. Boarding costs from $2.50 to $3 per week.--This includes furnished room, light and fuel. Good homes in private families can always be secured. Club and self-boarding costs from $1 to $2 per week. For this purpose either furnished or unfurnished rooms can always be secured at reasonable rates. Many of our best students board themselves, or board in small clubs. Furnished rooms may be rented for $2.50 to $3.50 per month. Tuition free; incidental fee, $5 per term of fen weeks, or $8 for twenty weeks. No other fees whatever are required by the institution. The payment of the incidental fee to the treasurer secures for the student a permit, which he must have recorded before entering any class. In no case will the incidental fee be refunded. Students should bring with them all their text books, as they may be needed for reference. Our fifty daily recitations accommodate all. Students prepared to enter, however advanced or however backward, will find classes to suit them. Grades made at county institutes and commissioners' examinations are not accepted for-advanced standing. Students are urged to be present at the beginning of the year, or as soon thereafter as possible. Enter at the beginning of a term. Students are cordially welcomed. The teachers and students will welcome you to the Normal. You will find, not strangers, but a band of brothers and sisters. Our citizens will honor and respect you. They will receive you into their families, their Sunday schools and their churches. All will contribute to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible. Confident that you will be pleased with the Normal School, you are earnestly invited to come and enjoy its advantages. Persons wishing to engage board in advance should address Prof. B. P. Gentry or the president, Kirksville, Missouri, stating the price per week they wish to pay, and all arrangements will be made. Ladies coming alone will be met at the depots, and boarding places found for them, if they will send a postal card addressed to the president, or to "State Normal School, Kirksville, Missouri," making this request. MORAL INFLUENCE. Most of the religious denominations of the west are well represented here. Their Sunday schools and churches extend a cordial welcome to the students. The students board in the families of our best citizens. The resident ministers visit the Normal weekly, and do all in their power to assist in maintaining the morals of the school and in making the stay of students pleasant. There are no saloons in the city of Kirksville. The students voluntarily maintain young men's and young women's Christian associations, under whose guidance much social and religious work is done. No school in Missouri has more active religious work in progress and no one is more successful in influencing students to undertake and maintain a life of high moral and religious culture. (Page 12) 12 State Normal School, First District. CABINETS. The Geological and Biological Cabinets are well arranged, and increasing in number and range of specimens. These afford great assistance to the students in getting a knowledge of the subjects to which they relate. LABORATORIES. The school also possesses chemical and physical laboratories, equipped for individual work, and supplied with the apparatus and other requisites for successful chemical drill and experiments in physics. To this may be added a good selection of mathematical forms and solids, globes, maps, charts, French weights and measures, drawing models, etc. CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION. 1. Male applicants must be at least sixteen and females fifteen years of age. 2. Those seeking admission for the first time must present satisfactory evidence of GOOD MORAL CHARACTER. A letter from the county commissioner, or from some person of well known integrity, will be sufficient. 3. Those who come from other institutions of learning must submit satisfactory evidence of having been honorably discharged. 4. Students wishing to enter the school for the first time, and coming at the beginning of the year should present themselves at the Normal building at 9 o'clock A. M., on Monday preceding the Tuesday on which the first term of the school year opens. 5. Students desiring to complete either of the courses in one year, who have not attended the school before, should be present on the first Monday in September, to be examined on the subjects of the course not included in the last year. Graduates of High Schools, Academies and Colleges may be excused from these examinations, provided they can give satisfactory evidence of proficiency in the Subjects taught, except those of the last year of the course. 6. All students must have paid the incidental fee and presented the treasurer's receipt therefor before being granted the privileges of class-work. 7. Each applicant must "sign a declaration of intention to follow the business of teaching in the public schools of the state," and must also sign a pledge to cheerfully comply with the regulations of the school, requiring promptitude, regularity and proper decorum.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION. 1.--Department of Philosophy. 2.--Department of Didactics. 3.--Department of English Language and Literature. 4.--Department of Pure and Applied Mathematics. 5.--Department of Science and Natural History. 6.--Department of Latin. 7.--Department of History, Civics, Geography and Elocution. 8.--Department of Art. 9.--Department of Music. 10.--Department of Practice Teaching. Each department is well organized, and the means of thorough culture are amply provided. While the one central idea--the education of teachers--is incorporated into every nerve and fibre of its work, it is the aim of the Normal School to be as complete in all its appointments as the college. This is a necessity, as few normal graduates ever enter other schools. The teacher requires the highest culture. In each department the student is required, not only to master each subject, but also to be able to impart instruction to others. DEPARTMENT OP PHILOSOPHY. W. D. DOBSON, Professor. In this department is included: PSYCHOLOGY AND ETHICS.--Thirty weeks are given to these studies. Only those who understand mental activities and are able to interpret the phenomena of Intellect, Sensibility and Will are thoroughly capable of directing mind development, This ability is attained by study, by analyzing our own mental processes, and by carefully; observing the mental activities of others. As the skilled artist must understand the material on which he works, in order to obtain the best results, (Page 14) 14 State Normal School, First District. so must the real teacher. His materials, human beings, with the wonderful mental and moral possibilities, demand for their culture and development the most thorough knowledge, the most perfect skill, and the greatest wisdom. Mankind in general understand the great principles of right, and have the promptings of conscience to aid them in doing right. Yet the philosophy, well formulated and clearly explained, adds to moral strength, and enables the teacher the more forcibly to impress moral lessons on the youthful mind. Teachers should not only possess mental strength and moral worth, but they should know how to develop these qualities in others, and to this end, also, is our class-work directed. DEPARTMENT OF DIDACTICS. R. C. NORTON, Professor. It is the purpose of this department to secure to its pupils the guiding knowledge which, with a good understanding of the academic studies, and a fair amount of practice, will result in knowledge, power and skill in the arts of school management and teaching. To this end the following subjects receive special attention. ECONOMY AND MANAGEMENT.--That there be neither loss nor waste of time or energy, the teacher should thoroughly understand the subjects of study he attempts to teach, he should also understand himself and his power and ability to perform his varied duties as teacher, and he should understand the child in all of its activities and relations, then he would be able to guide the child in harmony with the true order of its development, and secure to it the best results possible. In the development of the principles, which, if observed, will give such ability, we use the inductive and deductive methods, and endeavor to explain the means and ends of education. We consider carefully school requisites, including grounds, building, furniture and apparatus; the qualifications, habits, methods, etc., of the teacher; the development of the mental, moral and physical powers of the pupil; the proper organization and classification of schools; how to study and how to recite; exercise, recreation and rest; school offenses and their remedies; school hygiene: school reports, etc., as well as a careful examination into the mistakes in aim, management, discipline, methods and moral training frequently made by teachers. All topics in the lesson will be formulated and explained, while in the tests and drills, the pupils will be required, not only to recite accurately, but also to make a full tabulation of the subjects. The practical application of the true principles of good economy and management will be as thoroughly impressed on the minds of the pupils as the circumstances will permit. METHODS.--As a knowledge of the material on which the artist works is a condition precedent to his highest success, so a knowledge of child-mind and its activities is necessary to the work of a true teacher. A course of ten weeks' instruction in mental science is given preparatory to the study of Methods. Then ten weeks in the Elementary Course and twenty weeks in the Advanced Course, are used in presenting to the pupils the various methods of teaching the different subjects. The work is illustrated in class as fully as possible, and each topic explained from the standpoints both of teacher and pupil. School aims, organization, classification, illustrative teaching, preparatory training, class examination, discipline, aims, etc., (Page 15) State Normal School, First District. 15 are successively considered, that the pupil may know both what to do, and how to do, when he enters the school room as a teacher. HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION.--A wise man has said, "We should know the past as a help to guide the present and direct the-future." Modern education is a growth in which is embodied the grandest thoughts and greatest wisdom of all the ages. In order to secure the value and training such knowledge affords, the ancient systems of education of Egypt, China, India, Persia, etc., are examined. Coming to more reliable records, we trace the history of educators, the principles they evolved, and the effects of their work on the different nations. This gives a fair idea of the civilization and education of Greece, as set forth by Lycurgus, Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc.; of Rine, as set forth by Cato, Cicero, Seneca, Quintilian, etc. The excellencies and defects of their systems are as carefully pointed out as possible. The history of Saracenic education is to be followed by a careful study of the work and principles of the great European Innovators and these are supplemented by the consideration of the efforts of English and American educators in the development of the educational systems of the present. GRADED SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTES.--We are in full sympathy with the district schools and country teachers and use every possible means for their elevation and advancement. The grandest work of the age is the perfection of these schools of the people, where the great mass of our citizens have been and will be educated. We are glad to state that the great work and peculiar mission of the State Normal Schools is to help, aid and assist in every possible way in securing the betterment of the district schools. But we must not forget nor neglect the great needs nor the grand educational work in our towns and cities. We join with the bands of noble co-workers over the state, and assure them that.in the Normal School the classification, gradation and management of graded schools is given special attention, that teachers may be fitted for positions as assistants, principals and superintendents in said schools. The character and work of a real teachers' institute are clearly given, so that our graduates are prepared for work in instructing and conducting the same. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH. WILLIAM RICHARDSON, Professor; HALLIE HALL, Assistant Professor. In the work of this department the aim is judiciously to combine the theoretical and the practical. Theory alone is good, but theory embodied in practice is better. It is well to be able to analyze a sentence, but to be able at the same time to make a correct use of the sentence is a more practical achievement. The department comprises a course of study in Grammar, Orthography, Orthoepy, Composition English and American Literature and Rhetoric. GRAMMAR.--One term is devoted to this study, in which the student is instructed in the essentials of the study, special attention being paid to the construction of the sentence. A thorough knowledge of formal Grammar is thought desirable, if not indispensable, before the student proceeds with the study of Rhetoric and Literature. RHETORIC.--This is taken up in the second year of the course, and comprehends the theory of discourse as well as abundant practice in composition. (Page 16) 16 State Normal School, First District. LITERATURE.--Three and one-half terms are given to this study; two in the second year and one and one-half in the third. The first two terms are given to the study of the chief writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with some attention to the facts concerning their lives. In the junior year the more difficult authors, beginning with Bacon and Shakespeare are taken up, and history of the literature of the language is studied with more minuteness. The purpose of the whole course is to train the student to express his thoughts with clearness and force and lead him to some appreciation of the excellencies of the English classics. Students are encouraged to read choice works outside the school room. Good books contain fountains of inspiration, and only by drinking deep can we hope to attain the highest culture or reach the richest stores of knowledge. "It is impossible to approach the light without drawing some faint coloring from it, or to remain long among precious odors without bearing away with us some portion of fragrance." ORTHOEPY.--Letters, sounds, vowels and consonants. Table of vowels, giving name and value of each. Consonant skeleton, articulation, pronunciation, enunciation, substitutes. Difference between vowels and consonants. Phonic analysis. Rules of pronunciation. DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS. J. H. SCARBOROUGH, Professor; MARY T. PREWITT, Assistant Professor. The chief purpose of mathematics in a school curriculum is to train to logical deductive reasoning, and our purpose is not so much skill as power. The methods of the department in presenting the subjects are the natural outgrowth of the spirit of the subjects taught, and are neither stereotyped nor machine, but every opportunity is afforded for the development of the powers, hence the individuality of each student. Grade-getting is discouraged, power-getting encouraged. These principles have controlled in the establishment of the course of mathematics for this Normal. ARITHMETIC.--The instruction combines mental and written work, and the student is conducted by a process of analysis to the rule. Examples are to be solved, not by stereotyped rules and set formulae, but by the application of universal principles underlying the subject. The subject is taught twenty weeks in the Preparatory Class. The metric system is included in this course. ALGEBRA.--The subject is taught sixty weeks. In the Elementary Course, special attention is given to factoring and the Theory of Quadratic Equations. In the Senior class, Theory of Exponents, Binomial Theorem, Ratio and Proportion, Progressions, Logarithms, and Series are presented. GEOMETRY.--The first four books of Plane Geometry are completed in the Sophomore Class. Solid Geometry is completed in the Junior year. The demonstration of original exercises forms a large part of the work required. TRIGONOMETRY.--The course continues for twenty weeks. The applications of the subject to surveying are included in the work required. PHYSICS.--Elementary Physics is given twenty weeks in the Sophomore Class, and Advanced Physics one year in the Junior Course. The laboratory method is followed throughout the course. Experiments performed by the students are fol- (Page 16a) (Page 16b) PHYSICAL LABORATORY. CORRIDOR. CHEMICAL LABORATORY. (Page 17) State Normal School, First District. 17 lowed by discussions intended to aid in experimenting, in reasoning, and in drawing logical conclusions. Students are taught to' construct apparatus of the simplest kind, that they may learn that it is possible with the means at hand to get together a supply of apparatus that will illustrate, fairly well, the "phenomena and laws of physical science, and that they may understand the mechanism of the instruments they are required to use. Each student is required to perform a certain number of experiments, mostly quantitative in character, and keep, in proper form, a record of all work done. Laboratory notes must be recorded at the time the experiment is performed. ASTRONOMY.--This course is intended to furnish a general knowledge of Astronomy, including a brief account of its history. For the most part it will be non-mathematical, although some knowledge of Trigonometry is desirable. The department is supplied with a telescope of moderate power. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. L. S. DAUGHERTY, Professor. PHYSIOLOGY.--The main facts of Anatomy are presented with the aid of skeleton, charts, models, and dissection of some of the organs of animals. Physiology is studied with a view to the needs of every day life. The marvelous adaptation of organs for their use and the necessity of proper conditions for healthy action are kept before the pupil. Effects of carelessness, or wrong use of physical energy are pointed out. Hints on what to do in emergencies and antidotes for the most common poisons are regarded as a highly practical part of the work. ZOOLOGY.--Students should complete the course in Physiology before entering this class. Besides the usual text-book work in classification and description of familiar and interesting animals, a course in dissection of typical forms is given. The lower forms are studied with the microscope. In this way the pupil is made to understand the basis upon which the more general classification rests, and is enabled to remember the distinguishing characters much more easily. BOTANY.--The study of plant structure occupies much of the time during the first ten weeks. The lower forms are viewed through the microscope and the student is thus given an introduction to a realm of plant life which has for so long been to him unexplored. The classification and description of flowering plants occupy the greater part of the last ten weeks. GEOLOGY.--The course in Geology is one of the most interesting in the department of Natural Science. The fine collection of Missouri minerals, as well as the more general one illustrating the various ores and rocks usually mentioned by textbooks on Geology, greatly facilitate the study. The locality is an interesting one for field work, and though only very elementary work in the field can be done, it serves a good purpose. CHEMISTRY.--Recent additions to the chemical laboratory have enabled a better grade of work to be done than was heretofore possible. The pupils perform the experiments and keep a record of their work. They are expected to become familiar with the appearance and use of common chemicals and with the more simple chemical processes. The general laws of chemical reactions are studied and the (Page 18) 18 State Normal School, First District. more important compounds of a few leading elements. One whole year is devoted to this subject. NOTE.--It is left to the option of students to take one term in Geology and one term in Zoology, or leaving out Geology, take two terms in Zoology. DEPARTMENT OF LATIN. B. P. GENTRY, Professor. FIRST YEAR. (FRESHMAN CLASS.) One year is given to First Latin Book. 2. Roman method of pronunciation is used throughout. 3. Inflections of nouns, adjectives and verbs. 4. The Latin exercises are translated from the books and are also pronounced by the teacher and translated from hearing. 5. All exercises of English into Latin must be carefully written into blank books, after they have been recited to the teacher.6. The colloquia are both read and recited orally. 7. All constructions in the exercises of Latin into English are explained by referring them to the rules of syntax. 8. The difficulties of the adjunctive mode, etc., in the last part of the books are not omitted. Gradation is read by the class. (SOPHOMORE CLASS.) Caesar's Commentaries De Bello Gallico are read for twenty weeks in the Sophomore year. Prose composition is recited in connection with the reading lesson. The composition lessons are carefully written in blank books. Regular lessons from the grammar are recited. (JUNIOR CLASS.) Reading in Caesar is continued for ten weeks in the Junior year. Vergil will be taken up at the beginning of the second ten weeks of the first term of the Junior year and continued throughout the year. Composition will be pursued in connection with both the Caesar and Vergil. Grammar lessons on all days except when lessons in composition are recited. Grecian and Roman Mythology taught incidentally in connection with the reading in Vergil. (SENIOR CLASS.) Cicero's Orations are read during the first term of the Senior year. Carefulness in translating into good English, and in selecting best equivalent in English for Cicero's thought is sought. Grammar continued. Horace is read the second term of Senior year. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, CIVICS, GEOGRAPHY AND ELOCUTION. ERMINE OWEN, Professor; RUBY WESTLAKE, Assistant Professor. ELOCUTION.--I. Physical Training--Basis of Pantomime, "A sound mind in a sound body."--The basis of all true expression. 1. Light Gymnastics. 2. AEsthetic Gymnastics (Delsarte Drills). Objects:(a) Health, Vigor, Tone, (b) To attain Ease, Precision, and Harmony in Action, (c) To present the body in true Technical and Expressive form. (Page 19) State Normal School, First District. 19 II. Respiration.--Basis of Vocal Expression. "Through the arches of respiration walks the soul." III. The production of Voice.--Basis for Vital and Emotive Expression. Objects:(a) To produce pleasing, musical, and cultivated tones, (b)To avoid harshness, and especially loudness, (c) To produce the form of the carrying voice. IV. Articulation.--Basis for Mental Expression. "All speech is made up of Articulation."-- Spencer. V. Analysis.--Preparation for expression. Object: To find the complete thought and verbing contained in the sentence, and to determine the technical forms that give art-value. Impression must precede expression. The student must have before he can give. VI. Synthetical Expression.--What the mind has analyzed, it tries to produce in objective or expressive forms. Hence we hope to attain the ability of presentative in art-form, of the three natures of man, or of the three states of his soul--the Vital, Mental, and Emotive--by means of voice, pantomime and articulate speech. HISTORY, CIVICS AND GEOGRAPHY.--In the department of History and Civics, it is aimed: 1. To teach the pupil to think for himself, by dealing with real things; to train him to see the fact and catch the spirit of what he reads; to judge of the character and influence of men and acts, and to see the relation of cause and effect in historical events. 2. To give him a sympathetic appreciation of the development of our American life, character and government. 3. To train him to citizenship and to incite him to further reading and investigation. GEOGRAPHY.--One term is devoted to the study of Descriptive and Physical Geography. It is aimed to invest its details with a living and intelligent interest, and a practical utility. Maps, map drawing, globes and other requisites to a thorough acquaintance with the subject are employed. DEPARTMENT OF ART. CHARLES E. ROSS, Professor. DRAWING.--Drawing is not simply an ornamental study or a mere accomplishment. It is full of direct and practical results. It is also a most beneficial training, a help to other studies, a powerful educator. The object is to develop the minds of our pupils; to direct their habits of thinking; to cultivate their observation and faculties, such as memory, attention, accuracy, neatness, etc. The course of study consists of Inventive, Free-hand and Mathematical Drawing for twenty weeks. A term of ten weeks in the Junior year is devoted to the science and art of Perspective; and ten weeks in the Senior year to Constructive Drawing. BOOKKEEPING.--The subjects of Single Entry and Double Entry Bookkeeping are thoroughly explained and illustrated. Each student is required to write several sets, including besides the principal books, various auxiliary books and business (Page 20) 20 State Normal School, First District. papers. The practice is cultivated until he is familiar with the entries and documents necessary for all ordinary transactions. This course is especially useful to those who intend to be teachers. PENMANSHIP.--Elements of letters, with practice, capitals, copy-writing, paragraphing, etc. The object is to form a handwriting at once rapid, legible and compact, and frequent practice is our chief dependence. The vertical system is used. CALISTHENICS.--Calisthenic exercises occupy twenty minutes daily. Especial care is given to correct position, and to precision and promptness of action in connection with music. The utility of calisthenic exercise as a means of physical development and training and of securing vigorous health under the constant strain of student life, is now generally acknowledged. Such exercises are used as can be practiced by teachers in schools without the usual apparatus. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC. J. W. FORQUER, Professor. VOCAL.--As may be seen from the course of study, vocal music has relatively a large place in the curriculum of the school, and not only is it recommended, but required that all students have sufficient knowledge of the elements of the subject, and the theory and practice of teaching it, to enable them to teach the same successfully in the public schools of the state. Following is a brief outline of the course of study to be pursued: PREPARATORY CLASS--ELEMENTARY GRADE.--PART ONE. 1. Exercises for training the ear. 2. Exercises for training the eye. 3. Exercises for training the ear and eye at the same time. 4. To sing simple exercises by rote, followed by easy blackboard lessons. 5. Beginning work, in the text-books from charts and graded blackboard lessons up to the subject of transposition. SOPHOMORE CLASS--ELEMENTARY GRADE.--PART TWO. This grade will begin, and continue the work as follows: 1. Beading music in the key of "C" major in one, two, three and four parts. 2. The analysis of the major scale. 3. The general study of the rudiments of vocal music, transposition by fourths and fifths, keys, signatures, etc. 4. The study and analysis of both the Harmonic and Melodic minor scales. 5. A brief, yet practical, study of intervals and their inversions. 6. A thorough practice in singing songs and chorus in the major and minor keys, and the study of methods for teaching vocal music in the public schools. 7. History of music. SENIOR CLASS--ADVANCED GRADE. The advanced grade will consist of the following graded courses in Theory and Practice. 1. Advanced practice in singing glees, choruses and part songs from the masters, and some of our best American composers. (Page 21) State Normal School, First District. 21 2. A practical study of the beginning fundamental principles of harmony, and the necessity of the same to the more intelligent and successful teacher. 3. A short and comprehensive study of the beginning of modulation and the rules for studying the same. 4. Methods of teaching and presenting the different grades in the public schools. General suggestions for proper breathing and use of the voice will be given in all grades from standard authorities. 5. History of Music completed. INSTRUMENTAL.--Although instrumental music forms no part of the regular curriculum of the school, opportunities are offered for the study of Piano, Organ, Voice Culture, etc., under the best instruction, at moderate cost. MODEL AND TRAINING DEPARTMENT. DESIGN. Many who prove themselves to be good students, show marked weakness when called upon to impart their information to others. It is the business of this department to test and strengthen the teacher in his work. PREPARATION NECESSARY FOR PRACTICE TEACHING. It is becoming more and more obvious every day that this branch of Normal School work should be the last part of the course, and that no one should be given work in this department who has not previously passed examination on the professional subjects. Students who have had no experience are required to go through a course of "observing" before being allowed to take charge of a class. The Model School is essentially a Practice School--a place where students can test methods already studied. COURSE OF STUDY. It is intended that the course of study in the different classes in the school shall furnish the means of practical illustration of the methods which should be familiar to every true teacher, whether filling a position in a Primary, Intermediate, or Grammar School. For a child to complete the course requires a period of eight years, or approximately the same as that of the average graded public school. TEACHERS' MEETINGS. These are held every Thursday afternoon, in which critics' reports are read, mistakes pointed out, and the work for the following week discussed. Occasionally classes from the Model School are taught by student teachers in the presence of the entire force of teachers, the principal, and such visiting members of the faculty as may be present. As a subdivision of the regular teachers' meetings, teachers are required to meet in their respective grades, where such questions as concern the teachers of (Page 22) 22 State Normal School, First District. that particular grade are discussed by members present. These sub-meetings are considered to be quite as beneficial to the student teacher as the general meeting. ACTUAL PRACTICE. The most valuable feature of this department is the actual practice which students have in conducting classes in the various grades and subjects. No other test will so satisfactorily show whether a young man or a young woman is sure to be a good teacher. Successful work as, a student, brilliant and interesting recitations in the class- room, even the power of analyzing and explaining difficult subjects so the other members of the class understand as never before--all these fail to prove power for satisfactory discipline and teaching. No amount of talking about how the work should be done and seeing how it is done, can give the strength which comes from actual doing. The teachers who go from this department to take charge of schools of their own, go with an experimental knowledge of what difficulties are to be met and how to meet them; they go about their work with a self-possession which can corner only from a successful experience. ARTICULATION WITH OTHER SCHOOLS. Under direction of the Board Of Regents, a committee of the faculty will, during the coming year, formulate a scheme of articulation, and submit the same to High Schools so that their courses may be so arranged as that their graduates may be admitted to the higher classes and their grades be accepted without examinations. NORMAL SCHOOLS. [From Catalogue of University.] "Graduates of the three State Normal Schools in the advanced Latin course of study as recently established will be admitted to the University without examination and permitted to enter without condition the Freshman Class in the B. L. and B. S. courses in the Academic Department, and the Freshman Class in Engineering. They may also enter the Departments of Law and Medicine, and the School of Agriculture, and the School of Mines at Rolla. In any course, they may enter as much higher than Freshman as in the judgment of the Professors their qualifications permit." (Page 23) State Normal School, First District. 23 COURSES OF STUDY.

REMARKS ON COURSE OF STUDY. The Elementary Course consists of the first and second years of the. Normal Course, comprising the Freshman and Sophomore together with subjects in the Preparatory class. The Advanced Course comprehends four years, and in addition to the Elementary Course, includes the Junior and Senior years. To complete either course, a student must pass a satisfactory final examination on each subject prescribed therein. He must have pursued in class all professional subjects, and take the required amount of practice and criticism. Students completing the Elementary Course receive the Regents' Certificate, which is a state certificate, good for two years from date of issue. Students completing the Advanced Course receive the Normal Diploma, with the Degree of Bachelor of Scientific Didactics. This diploma is a state certificate of the highest grade, being a life certificate. Students are admitted to any term or year on examinations, except that professsonal subjects must have been taken in class as stated above. All students are earnestly advised when it is possible, to pursue a regular course. With less than this they can not expect to be highly successful in the profession of teaching; but if, from any cause, it may be necessary for a student to pursue an irregular course, he can determine from the program what studies he may take and avoid conflict in time of recitations. All students must pursue the regular course until they have completed the first year's work, except such as hold teachers' certificates or pass a satisfactory examination on these subjects. Grades furnished from colleges, high schools and academies may be accepted by heads of departments after the students presenting the same have shown approved proficiency in similar studies and sufficient maturity of mind to be admitted to the course for which they apply. By order of the Board of Regents, provision is made for advanced study in Latin and English one year each for students who have completed the Advanced Course. This course may be taken by such graduates free of tuition the year following the taking the degree B. S. D. SUMMER SCHOOL. The faculty, by authority of the Board of Regents of this State Normal School, have organized and will conduct a summer school each year for the accommodation of those who may desire to receive instruction in higher subjects of the course, and others that may be decided upon when a sufficient number desiring them will justify the formation of such classes. It must be borne in mind and clearly understood that nothing but thorough and first-class work will be done in this school. That this result may be attained no student will be permitted to take more than two studies. The grades made in this school will be accepted and recorded in the General Register of the Normal; provided, that the student presenting the same shall have been in attendance the full term of six weeks, and providing that no more than two grades be presented by the same student. For particulars, send for circular. (Page 25) State Normal School, First District. 25 DAILY PROGRAM.--FIRST TERM. ADVANCED COURSE. SENIOR CLASS. JUNIOR CLASS. 4th Year. 3rd Year. Recitation Periods.

This diploma will be issued to such graduates from the full course as teach successfully in schools of a higher grade for three years after graduation, and complete the following course of residing, or its equivalent, to be approved by the faculty. Each applicant shall submit a satisfactory original thesis of from four to five thousand words on some phase of educational work, the subject to be approved by the president of the faculty, and shall be printed or written by typewriter, and filed in the library of the school. The objects of this course are to stimulate graduates to continuous and well-directed effort, and to fit teachers for special positions. The demand for accomplished teachers is constant and increasing. From all sections come requests for a "first-class primary teacher" "first-class drawing teacher" "first-class principal" "first-class teacher of natural science or mathematics" etc. To fit teachers to meet these demands is the leading object of this course.
