HISTORY. In February, 1867, Professor Joseph Baldwin came from Indiana to Missouri for the purpose of selecting a suitable place for a private normal school. On visiting Kirksville, he chose it as the place for his school and made arrangements to open the same in a building known as Cumberland Academy which stood on the site of Mr. R. M. Ringo's present residence in the north part of town. Reorganized the first faculty of the school during the spring and summer of 1867, engaging Prof. F. L. Ferris and wife whom he had known in Indiana, Prof. W. P. Nason, who had been teaching a private school in Kirksville for some years, and J. M. Greenwood and wife who were at that time living on a farm near town. He spent the summer in traveling over the north eastern part of Missouri advertising the school by means of circulars and addresses, and soliciting students. In this work he was somewhat assisted by the men of the faculty. The school opened on Sept. 2, 1867, under the name of the North Missouri Normal School. During the year 140 students were enrolled exclusive of those in the "Model." When Prof. Baldwin came to Missouri it was his plan to establish a school which, should ultimately be adopted by the state as one of a number of State Normal Schools. At that time the conditions were fairly favorable to such a plan. For a long time the question of State Normal Schools had been agitated. The civil war put a stop to the agitation but after its close the matter was taken up again with increased vigor, and by 1867 sentiment was being rapidly formed in favor of such institutions. The establishment of a private normal school at Kirksville and the persistent efforts made by Prof. Baldwin to get the state to adopt the Normal School system contributed very materially towards further developing this sentiment. 5 (Page 6) After a number of efforts a bill was finally passed by the legislature and approved on March 19, 1870, which provided on certain conditions for the establishment of two State Normal Schools, one north of the Missouri river and one south of it. Adair and Livingston Counties were very vigorous rivals for the first one. After a good deal of negotiation the Board of Regents finally decided (on Dec. 29, 1870,) to accept the bid of Adair County. By this action the North Missouri Normal School was adopted as the State Normal School for district number one, and on Jan. 1, 1871, it resumed its work as such. By its bid Adair County offered among other things to furnish a new building of the value of $50,000 and a site of fifteen acres for the same. Messrs. Morris and Richter of Kirksville donated fifteen acres of land lying south of town for the site and the county very shortly raised $50,000 in cash and turned it over to the Board which they were to use in erecting the building. Ground was broken for the new building in May, 1871, and the corner stone was laid on Sept. 6th. It was not however until Jan., 1873, that the building was completed. The delay was due to the fact that a misunderstanding had arisen between the Board and the contractors concerning the contract. In order to complete the building it became necessary for the legislature to appropriate $50,000. The building when completed cost $100,000. Immediately upon its completion it was occupied by the school. Pres. Baldwin resigned in 1881 to accept the Presidency of the Sam Houston State Normal School of Texas. Prof. W. P. Nason was acting President for the year following Pres. Baldwin's resignation. J. P. Blanton was President from 1882 to 1891 and W. D. Dobson from 1891 to 1899. John R. Kirk has been President from June, 1899, to the present time. During the thirty seven years of the history of the institution, the attendance has increased from 140 to 958 and the faculty has been increased from 6 to 26. In the spring of 1901, the legislature appropriated $30,000 for a new building in order to relieve the crowded condition of the school. Dec. 25, 1901, this building was completed and immediately occupied. 6 (Page 7) PURPOSE OF THIS BULLETIN. It is the purpose of this Bulletin to show the great variety of ways in which this Normal School appeals to ambitious young Missourians; to make clear the opportunities it offers young prospective teachers to fit themselves for useful and honorable careers in the teaching profession; to show what the institution has already done, what its resources and facilities for instruction are and who have constituted its large and varied student corps during the past year; and, through a description of its numerous courses of instruction, laboratories, libraries, etc., to indicate what service to the community it has in contemplation for the ensuing year. Attention is invited to our abundant resources for social, moral, aesthetieal and physical culture as well as for scholastic and professional training. Social, moral and aesthetieal culture are provided for in a variety of ways, including numerous successful self-governing organizations among students; - such as the Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, the Debating Clubs, the general Literary Societies, the Class Organizations, the Orchestras, Mandolin Clubs, Quartettes and other musical organizations. Attention is also called to our very good facilities for the various forms of physical training and culture. These include General Field Athletics, Military Training, separate work in gymnasium for both men and women, basket ball, lawn tennis, base ball, foot ball, etc. But the School has and permits no fads. It allows itself to run after no craze of any kind. Even the exciting spring and fall games between institutions are not permitted to interfere with good student work. Our young men are not allowed to go to any excesses in preparing themselves for Athletic Contests. All physical contests are planned so as to contribute as far as possible to good student work and in no sense to detract from the strictly intellectual and professional student work. Special attention is called to the new arrangement of the Courses of Instruction. Instead of two semesters of eighteen weeks each and a summer school of twelve weeks, the entire 7 (Page 8) school year is divided into four quarters of twelve weeks each, these four quarters corresponding to the four seasons of the year. The fall months constitute the first quarter; the winter months, the second quarter; the spring months, the third quarter, and the summer months, the fourth quarter. Students should notice distinctly, however, that in subject matter the Courses of Instruction remain substantially as they were last year. In the sum total of academic and professional work necessary for graduation, there is no material alteration. One year of Library Work is offered as an elective and made equivalent to a year in History, Literature or any subject requiring daily preparation. One unit of academic work heretofore appearing in the Freshman Year is put into the Preparatory or so called Sub Normal Year so as to leave but eighteen units of work to be done in the regular four years' Normal School Courses; but it is left to the election of the student which of these units shall be offered as a sub Normal or Preparatory unit. In the new arrangement it is not expected that students' programs will differ materially from those of last year. The amount of work possible to be done in the summer quarter will be the same as that of any other quarter. WHAT THIS NORMAL SCHOOL STANDS FOR. This Normal School stands for and represents the most sensible and practical things to be devised and done in school education. The members of its Faculty are scholarly and alert people watching for the best things done in the great universities and in other normal schools in order to contribute as much as possible to the most rational and sensible practices in the public schools of our State. This School stands first of all for sound scholarship. It ventures to invite comparison between its own academic instruction and that of the best colleges. It guarantees that its graduates are able tao stand scholarship tests wherever they may go. 8 (Page 9) This School has no pet theories of Pedagogy, no hobbies. Our teaching is well done. Our twenty six members of the Faculty have as many individual judgments. We neither follow prescriptions nor give them. We have no ready made devices by which to attain the ends of education. If there is any one thing which we distinctly avoid it is the recipe or prescription method of instruction. The genuine Normal School product is a better teacher than most other people because he has lived in an atmosphere which is friendly to rational educative effort. He has grown accustomed to search for and sympathize with the student's view point. His highest art consists in his ability to stimulate the student's ingenuity in getting at things. He regards it a real achievement to challenge successfully the student's curiosity and to call into play the student's spontaneity. He is habitually methodical but the method consists in adapting available means to desirable ends. UTILIZATION OF SPECIALIZED TALENTS. A successful corporation typifies the most economical organization of human interests and energies. It demands men of widely differing types, those of each type having their several energies highly differentiated and specialized. Then these highly specialized energies are combined and made to co-operate as a unit of force in the community. The Normal School as an agency of the State having definite functions is also a collection of highly specialized energies or talents, each one of which we seek to adapt to a specific purpose and to bring into perfect co-operation with many others so as to form a complete unity, every part of which acts in harmony with all the other parts. The high grade Normal School faculty is made up of many individuals, each one differing from all the others, each one having his life's energies concentrated upon one principal field of labor, upon one great central subject which of itself is a vital and integral part of the educational system. To illustrate: One man with his associates and assistants has his soul centered upon Literature and its allied minors. He has large knowledge, long and varied 9 (Page 10) experience. From day to day his available energies are consumed in the effort to comprehend fully his one great subject, first as an academic entity and then as a great utility reaching out into the life of the community through the kindergarten, the elementary school, the high school and all the schools. This man has no time and little tast for extraneous matters. He can give little or no thought to the conduct of affairs outside his chosen field of labor. He necessarily becomes so centered in the subject matter of his department that he can have few correspondents in his political, sectarian, social or other relations. The more efficient he is the fewer social, political, sectarian, commercial or other alliances he is likely to have time or in-clination to make. The strong faculty is therefore a composite of dis-similar people. Its greatest strength lies in the fact that its varying types of mind are able to penetrate far into their several specialties and yet to feel that each one is measurably dependent upon all the others. Thus each one is obliged to harmonize himself with all the others in order to effect the greatest possible good by the joint and harmonious action of all. A STRONG FACULTY. Cosmopolitan Culture. Our Faculty represents the training of many great universities and other sources of cosmopolitan culture. These include the Missouri University, Chicago University, Kansas University, Nebraska University, Harvard University, Western Reserve University, Lick Observatory, University of the Pacific, Wesleyan University, Conn., Columbia University, Illinois Wesleyan University, University of Leipzig, University of Wurzburg, many normal schools, colleges and schools of methods, and much travel on both the Eastern and the Western continents. Foreignizing American Schools. But there is an educational craze which seeks to copy things found in foreign countries, a mad race after things to be picked up in remote parts of the world. "'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view." Great efforts are being made by some fastidious schoolmen to foreignize or at least to de-Americanize our American Public School 10 (Page 11) System. Effusive foreigners and superficial Americans weary us with their eulogies on European Schools. But the facts in the matter can not longer be disguised. No well informed person now doubts that the schools of America are on the whole considerably better than those of Germany, France or England. Those foreign nations do not put the money into school architecture that we do. They do not invest so much in public school libraries, apparatus and teachers' salaries. The German Gymnasium and other special European schools are much studied and exploited; but we look in vain for anything in any European country which can duplicate or compare favorably with our American Public School System which reaches out to the remotest corners of our country and places the sons of toil on an equality with those who happen to be rocked in the cradle of wealth. The time has come too when the people of Missouri and of the Mississippi Valley should be as proud of the product of their own schools as complacent New England is of hers. There is no reason to doubt that the schools and colleges in the northern half of the Mississippi Valley, including Missouri, are as good as those to be found any where in the world. Therefore this Normal School specially emphasizes the fact that its Faculty is made up largely of virile Missourians, people well born, well educated, well trained, widely traveled and possessed of all the culture which good health, large ambition and ample opportunity can furnish. Public School Experience Emphasized. We are gratified to be able to announce this further fact, that a majority of our Faculty have had extended experience in the Public Schools of our own State and neighboring states. We have therefore very clear appreciation of the service which we should render the State. We have a sympathy with the public school, its teachers and its students which the foreignized professor can not have. Our strength therefore is doubly assured in sound scholarship from the best instruction and in actual contact with the elementary schools and high schools for which we are to supply teachers. 11 (Page 12) GRADUATES IN DEMAND. The efficient up-to-date Normal School has such equipment and offers such instruction as to guarantee sound scholarship and teaching skill in graduates of sufficient variety to supply teachers for all grades of public schools from the kindergarten to the first class high school inclusive. No graduate of any school or college can have thorough and extensive scholarship in more than a few subjects; but the good Normal School gives opportunity for sound general scholarship and for such specialization as will enable students to differentiate according to their natural endowments. In every large class of prospective teachers some will be found who by their nature, disposition and early habits are adapted to the work of the kindergarten or primary instruction. Others by virtue of strong character, good general intelligence and adaptability are predestined to the work of grammar school teaching, while others by virtue of still different dispositions and talents are likely to be ill suited to any form of teaching other than that required in high schools or colleges. We therefore seek to meet the demands for teachers of every kind and grade. In April and May, 1904, several of our prospective graduates signed contracts to teach during the ensuing year. The following are illustrations: One was elected to teach in a primary school at $50.00 a month; two or three in primary schools at $45.00 per month; two or three others in intermediate grades at $50.00 per month; several young ladies in grammar grades at $50.00 and $55.00 per month; one young lady as a teacher of Science in an approved high school at $50.00 per month; another as a teacher of History and Literature in an approved high school at $45.00 per month; one young man in a city school superintendency at $100 per month; another in a village superintendency at $75.00 per month; another at $60.00 per month; several others as principals and high school teachers at from $50.00 to $80.00 per month. At the time of going to press several have been tendered positions which they decline. Long before the second Monday in September the members of our Senior Class who can be vouched for as superior disciplinarians and teachers will all have positions if they so desire. 12 (Page 13) So strong is the demand for Normal School graduates that several members of the Sophomore Class have secured positions of large responsibility. Seven or eight young men from this class have already been employed as principals of town and village schools at salaries ranging from $50.00 to $70.00 per month, while thirty or forty have positions in rural and other elementary schools. Testimonials. It is becoming pretty well understood that the President and Faculty of this Normal School do not write recommedations for our students. We constantly invite strong and ambitious people to become students of this institution. The character of our graduates and students is widely known. They partake of the spirit of the institution. They become accustomed to the ways of busy, hard-working people. School boards have found this out. Our reputation is established. It is a strong testimonial to have received passing grades in our classes. It is one of the strongest testimonials possible to carry away one of our diplomas. School boards are annually annoyed by big bundles of testimonials presented by applicants for positions; but the graduates and students of this Institution, being already known for their skill and efficiency as teachers, neither trouble themselves nor annoy the school boards with numerous testimonials. The rule governing the President and Faculty is to wait until the student has some correspondence with the school board; then if members of the school board make inquiry, we respond stating the strong points of the student. Those who deal largely in testimonials are likely to defeat their own purpose because it is becoming pretty well known that only weak schools need to bolster up their students with such documents. BOARD, TUITION, ETC. Board. Board (including room, meals, light, fuel, etc.,) costs from $2.50 to $3.25 per week, owing to kind and quality of accomodations and distance from the building. A majority of our students pay about $2.75 per week. Some under the self-boarding or clubbing plan reduce their expenses to $2.25. A few are said to reduce their expenses to $2.00 per week. Many students 13 (Page 14) rent rooms and board in clubs, thereby reducing expenses to the minimum. Good homes in private families can always be secured. While this Institution is based on the co-educational plan, it is the opinion of the Faculty that young ladies should patronize those boarding houses offering rooms for young ladies only and that it is better for gentlemen to patronize the boarding houses having rooms exclusively for young men. Those boarding houses conducted in accordance with this idea will be recommended to our students. Incidental Fee. The incidental fee is $6.00 for one quarter of twelve weeks. Before presenting themselves for enrollment and classification, students should first go to the Baird National Bank, south east corner of square, pay their incidental fee and bring receipt for the same to the President's Office. No programs are made out until receipts for incidental fee are presented at the Office. In no case are incidental fees refunded. MANNER OF ENROLLING AND CLASSIFYING. Examinations are embarrassing. We avoid them as far as possible. As a basis of classification we receive grades from all reputable institutions and teachers. We prefer to do this. Bring Grade Cards. Students should therefore bring with them their grade cards, certificates, diplomas and whatever other written or printed evidences of scholarship they may have. We desire especially to classify students and make up their programs from these credentials. Much time can thus be saved to the student and much inconvenience and worry avoided. Then if the students maintain themselves creditably in the work which they undertake to do in this institution, the grades brought from other institutions are approved and expressed in terms appropriate to our purposes and entered in our record. Bring Your Books. Students should bring with them all the text-books formerly studied. Such books are useful to students at all times. 14 (Page 15) Official Program. The student's official program is issued by the President, but prior to the issuance of such program the student must present to the President a receipt for the incidental fee of the quarter. How the Program is Made. If it is certain what subjects the student is prepared to study, the President will take up the Treasurer's receipt for incidental fee and issue at once an official program. If it is uncertain what the student's program should be, the student will be sent to the several heads of departments who will inspect credentials (grade cards, etc.) and recommend, on a "credential card," the subjects deemed suitable for a program. Then the student will return to the President's Office and the official program will be issued. BEGINNING OF CLASS EXERCISES. Class exercises will begin (according to the program given in other pages of this Bulletin) at 8:20, Monday morning, September 12th. All students should heed this notice. This School runs according to the program clock. We mean that classes will meet and lessons will be assigned on Monday, September 12th. Notice particularly: Program making is to be attended to on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 8th, 9th and 10th. Resident students should make their programs not later than Friday, September 9th. Resident students should not expect to make programs on Saturday. Non resident students should arrive not later than Friday so as to have the entire day Saturday, September 10th, for program making. Classes meet on Monday, September 12th. 15 (Page 16) WHEN TO ENTER. The best time to enter classes is at the beginning of the school year, September 12th. But notice particularly: Programs should be made during the preceding Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The President and several members of the Faculty will be in or about the President's Office, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 8-9-10. Non-resident students should make it a point to reach Kirksville not later than Friday, September 9th. They should have programs made and books purchased on Saturday so that classes may be organized and lessons definitely assigned on Monday, September 12th. Students should notice particularly the new division of the school year into quarters of twelve weeks each, the first quarter beginning Monday, September 12th and ending Friday, December 2nd. For those who can not enter at the beginning of the first quarter, the next best time to enter will be Monday, December 5th. The second quarter begins Monday, December 5th and ends Friday, March 3rd. For those who have six months' fall and winter schools, the new division of time will be especially convenient since new classes will be organized at the beginning of the third quarter, Monday, March 6th. The third quarter begins Monday, March 6th, and ends Wednesday, May 24th. The fourth quarter, or summer quarter, begins Tuesday, May 30th, and ends Thursday, August 17th. In a majority of subjects new classes are organized at the beginning of the third quarter and also at the beginning of the fourth quarter. ADVANCED STANDING. The term Advanced Standing should be clearly understood by all students. When students first enter the Normal School we prefer to base their classification upon grade cards brought from other institutions. As soon as the student has demonstrated his ability to do well the advanced work undertaken in this Institution, he is entitled to present his grades to the 16 (Page 17) heads of departments with a view to having those grades carefully inspected and expressed in such form that they may be entered upon our records as credits upon which graduation may be based. Advanced standing therefore means the grades obtained in other institutions and recognized by heads of departments in this Institution and expressed in such terms that they may be entered permanently in the records of this Institution. AMOUNT OF CREDIT IN FORM OF ADVANCED STANDING. Grades obtained in the University of Missouri, the State Normal Schools of Missouri and members of the College Union are accepted without alteration and transferred to the records of this Institution. Grades from other reputable institutions are likewise transferred to our records with little alteration. At a recent Conference of the Missouri Normal Schools it was agreed that graduates of approved high schools of the first class offering four years of high school instruction should be given credit for ten units in a Normal School course; that graduates of approved high schools of the second class offering three years of high school instruction should be given credit for seven units in a regular Normal School course; that graduates of approved high schools of the third class offering two years of high school instruction should be given credit for four units in the regular Normal School course; that all students who bring teacher's certificates should be admitted to the Sub-normal or Preparatory classes without examination. But this Institution, for reasons stated elsewhere, prefers to admit and classify all students on the evidences of scholarship furnished by their grade cards, certificates, diplomas, etc., and without examination; and for purposes of classification we accept high school work "subject for subject, master piece for master piece, month's work for month's work, problem for problem, experiment for experiment, thesis for thesis and year's work for year's work." This practice of ours is a necessity because the high schools do not all cover uniform amounts of 17 (Page 18) subject matter in any one subject and the same high school does not at all times cover a given subject in the same manner. We therefore seek to make rules of classification so flexible as to recognize fully the merits of each school and each individual student. DEBATING CLUBS AND LITERARY SOCIETIES. This Institution encourages as much as possible that form of self-activity and self-government which is exemplified in the independent organizations of students. Among these are the three debating clubs having a membership of about one hundred young men; also the two general literary societies composed of young men and young women and numbering somewhat more than one hundred. Each of the regular classes of the Institution also constitutes a large and active literary society having a program once or twice each month. Through one or more of these organizations every student has opportunity to learn parliamentary practice and to make use of his various talents somewhat as he will be required to do outside of school when he is engaged in the general affairs of life. In this connection we find the business affairs of the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association helpful to students, for each of these organizations handles a considerable sum of money during the year and in many ways accustoms its active members to the transaction of business outside the school routine. These various organizations are especially useful in wearing off the hesitancy and self consciousness which so commonly characterize young students. They compel the student to lose himself in the realities of the business under consideration. He is thereby better fitted for leadership in his future career. Much enthusiasm has been created among our literary and debating societies during the past two years on account of our successful debates with the Normal School at Peru, Nebraska. Our young men now have in anticipation a series of debates with some of the colleges of our own State and possibly with the State University. The Faculty will encourage them in these very 18 (Page 19) commendable efforts to put themselves into comparison with the best students and debaters of neighboring institutions. THE Y.M.C.A. AND Y.W.C.A. Among the agencies of this School tending to promote quiet and purposeful living, two organizations surpass all others. They are the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association. It is the well known policy of the Institution to encourage these organizations. Each Association is furnished one or more pleasant rooms within the Normal School building and is given the control and management of its own room or rooms. During the past year each Association numbered nearly two hundred members. Membership is purely voluntary. We encourage these organizations but leave the young people free as to the management of their respective associations. One of the most pleasing events of the past year was the State Convention of the Y.M.C.A. men held in the Normal School building. Nearly four hundred delegates were in attendance. These represented University, College, Normal School, Railroad and Business Men's Associations of the State. On the evening of the second day banquets were spread and one hundred twenty of the business men in attendance sat down to the banquet in our Library, while three hundred college men were banqueted in the Gymnasium. One effect of the State Convention was to create great interest and enthusiasm in our local Associations and we have no doubt that great benefit accrued to the School at large by virtue of the work and influence of the large number of earnest and talented men who attended the Convention. The lectures and other entertainments provided by the two organizations are of great benefit to the School. On another page we show photographs of five Y.M.C.A. Bible Classes. These groups of young men are independent and self governing in their organization. 19 (Page 20) Even resident ministers and members of the Faculty are not permitted to have charge of these classes. Teachers are selected from among the more serious and scholarly members of the higher classes of the School and it may be said that the instruction is largely self instruction. We believe that the plan of independent, self-governing associations is far better than that in which there is much of over-sight and direction by the President or the Faculty of the School. The Sunday meetings of the two Associations are managed in the same manner as the general affairs of the Associations and here again it is thought that the spontaneity and self-activity of the young people bring about far higher and better results than could be secured under any plan of Faculty management. We endorse and favor the young people's associations as adjuncts to school and college life for the following reasons: The Young Men's Christian Association is strictly democratic in operation; it appeals to the interests of all aspiring young men regardless of their wealth, dress, looks, parentage, or previous conditions. It contributes to the practice of good order and quietude. It tends to tame and tone down the over-flowing animal spirits of boisterous young men. Because of its own inherent excellence it is self-perpetuating, and therefore never needs coddling or overseeing by the Faculty. It utilizes many energies which would otherwise be wasted. It awakens the best sympathies. It cultivates altruism. It is a great force in the development of sterling manhood. The Young Women's Christian Association. Of all the adjuncts to school or college life the Young Women's Christian Association is the best for young ladies. It is self-governing and self-regulating. It never lends itself to frivolity. It cultivates in the highest degree the rare qualities of modesty, dignity, and devotion to duty. 20 (Page 20a) YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION ROOM. Photo by Moore (Page 20b) YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OFFICERS. (Page 21) THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION HOUSE. The Young Women's Christian Association has long felt the necessity for a house of its own where some of its officers and members might live together, where meetings of various kinds might be held and a genuine home-like atmosphere might prevail. Several attempts have been made to establish such a house but not until this summer have these efforts proven successful. While this is a distinctly new feature and wholly untried in this locality, the Faculty and the interested friends feel that the benefits to be derived from the venture will be many. A frame house four blocks north of the Normal School campus and very convenient to the public square and the churches has been selected for the Association House. It contains eight rooms: a library, kitchen, and six bed rooms. The entire suite of rooms has been furnished by local members of the Association and interested friends about town. One member of the Faculty and the Student Secretary of the Association, Miss Rose Wells, will live in the House that the girls may at all times be duly chaperoned. Accommodations for eight other young women have been provided. Distinct Purpose of the Association House. 1. A home where worthy and ambitious Association members may live and reduce, their expenses to a minimum of not to exceed $2.50 per week. 2. A home in which to receive the State Secretary, Bible Teachers and other Association guests; also a temporary stopping place for new girls upon their arrival in Kirksville. 3. A place where Bible Classes may meet and Association receptions may be given. Expenses. Each girl will pay $1.00 per month for her room and there must be two girls in' each room. Lights, fuel and washing of bed linen and towels must be paid for in addition to rent of room. It is hoped that the entire cost of living may be reduced to $2.50 per week, or less, for each girl. Light House Keeping. A kitchen has been fitted up and the girls may do their own cooking, laundry work, etc., if they so desire. They may get their meals at near by boarding houses. 21 (Page 22) All applicants for rooms in the House and those wishing further information, please address Miss Rose Wells, Student Secretary Young Women's Christian Association, Kirksville, Missouri, or Miss Ina Holloway, President of Association, Kirksville, Missouri. As accommodations for only eight girls are afforded, those wishing to make application will oblige the Association by doing so at an early date. Credentials from ministers, teachers or other well known persons will be required as to moral and social standing of applicants. ATHLETICS. General Purpose. This Institution encourages its students to participate in Athletics, both in the gymnasium and on the Athletic Field. We seek to foster the development of good physical health and strength by systematic gymnasium work and various out of door games and, for the student body at large, by inducing them to spend an hour a day, if possible, in the open air and the sun shine. We expect all our students to return home at the close of the year with as good health or better health than when they enter the school in September. We do not intend that our young men and young women shall become pale faced or sallow but on the contrary we expect to increase the evidences of physical health and strength through the gymnasium and out-door Athletics. People should expect their sons and daughters to come home at the end of the year with the marks of health on the cheek, with firm and vigorous step, and with freedom from evidences of weariness. Only those who enjoy good physical health can be ideal Students. People should attend school not to become exhausted but to grow strong. Games. The Institution has just passed through its first regular season of foot ball and of base ball wholly under amateur coaches. No one was permitted to play on either team who was not a regular student in good standing with a full schedule of studies. Our foot ball season was a short one, only seven weeks. The team played in three well contested games, one with Central College, one with Westminster College and one with William Jewell College. It was gratifying to have our young men win all the games and score a total of 56 points 22 (Page 23) against a total of 8 on the part of contesting teams. The games were played on our own Athletic Field. It was agreed by each of the teams of those good old colleges that our young men played a fair, clean, honest game. We expect to have a stronger team during the fall of 1904. Our young men propose to play purely amateur foot ball and expect opposing teams to do the same. Indeed we will play with no institution which is even suspected of questionable practices. Our base ball season included also three games with institutions outside of Kirksville, two games with the State University and one with Westminster College. The games with the University were both lost by a close margin; the one with Westminster was in our favor by 11 to 0, although it is known that the Westminster team is a very strong one and that it was able to defeat the University. We do not regard the winning of games of itself especially important; but the loss of too many games has a dis-heartening influence on the students and the winning of a reasonable proportion of the games increases the esprit de corps. We shall at all times encourage other games which, to the school-at-large, are probably of greater value than foot ball or base ball. We have during the winter months a great deal of basket ball, hand ball and other similar games both inside and outside the gymnasium. We are fairly well supplied with grounds for tennis and other lighter out of door games and shall continue to encourage these games. Military Training. Mr. S. S. Carroll, long trained in general Athletics and in military tactics at the Missouri University, will have charge of Athletics for young men and among other things will organize a cadet corps. Steps have been taken to secure one hundred stand of arms and our new Athletic Field will give opportunity for out of door drills in addition to those conducted in the gymnasium. Two Teachers of Athletics. We last year made a beginning of gymnasium work for our young women under Miss Barnes who has enjoyed good advantages and who takes pride in directing the gymnasium work. Miss Barnes will have larger classes and better opportunity during the coming year and we expect the gymnasium work to be highly beneficial to our young women. 23 (Page 24) NORMAL ARCHIVES. During the past year a beginning was made towards collecting the archives of the institution and arranging them in some shape for preservation. This work has been done under the direction of the Curator of the Archives, Mr. Violette of the History Department. After some considerable effort a complete file of the Normal catalog and the Normal Message have been collected. A series of Normal scrap books which will contain programs of various events in the school, newspaper clippings, and the like, is now being made. Pictures of former teachers and students and of different organizations are being gathered. Some of the society records have been turned over to the archives. However, only a small part of what is desired has been acquired. It is feared that many things now wanted have been completely destroyed. Every effort will be put forth to collect as much of the documentary material bearing upon the history of the school as yet exists, and the co-operation of the friends of the institution is earnestly solicited. Copies of the old Catalog and of the Normal Message are wanted for a duplicate set of each publication. Programs, newspaper clippings, pictures, old records, etc., are also desired. Those who have any of the above matter and are willing to contribute it to the School will confer a great favor by sending it to the Curator. Whatever is sent will be carefully preserved and due recognition will be given for the same. SPECIAL SUGGESTIONS. 1. All books, wraps, hats, caps, overshoes, umbrellas, etc., should be plainly marked by the owners thereof so as to be known wherever found. 2. The city residence of every student is required at the office. In case of change report should be made at once. 3. Every case of sickness should be reported promptly at the office. When any student is taken sick he or she is especially requested to send word to the office. The President and Fac- 24 (Page 25) ulty will thus be able to contribute much to the relief of the students. 4. Reasons for absence from school or from any class are to be presented at the office before re-entering the class. GENERAL REGULATIONS. Students are required to comply with the following and with such other regulations as the Board of Regents, President and Faculty may, from time to time, make known. 1. Unless excused for cause students are expected to be present at all general exercises of the school and must be present at every regular recitation and perform faithfully the duties assigned them. 2. No student shall discontinue a study except for good cause, of which the Department teacher and the President of the Faculty shall be the judges. 3. Students are prohibited from attending billiard rooms, pool rooms and other similar places of resort. 4. Students leaving school without being regularly excused by the President will be considered suspended. 5. All special privileges and excuses granted or required by these regulations must be obtained from the President of the Faculty or from such persons as may be designated by him. VACCINATION. The civilized nations of the world are making great efforts to stamp out or at least prevent smallpox. Careful observation has revealed the fact that vaccination is practically the only security. It is recommended that all students get vaccinated before setting out to become students in institutions away from home. It is unwise to wait. Get vaccinated at home by your family physician whom you know and in whom you have confidence. The following are a few plain and simple statements of fact which all should understand: 25 (Page 26) 1. Vaccination should always be done by a physician who will take due precaution and make the operation aseptic, as much so as is done in surgical cases. 2. The after care is as important as that of injuries or surgical operations. 3. Only sterilized dressings should be used. 4. Vaccination that is not infected by carelessness seldom gives any trouble. RULES FOR GRADING AND REPORTING. 1. Seventy-five (75) is to be the passing grade. 2. Three ranks are to be recognized above and including 75. 1. Passable, to be marked and reported by the letter P. 2. Good, to be marked and reported by the letter G. 3. Excellent, to be marked and reported by the letter E. 3. Two ranks are to be recognized below seventy-five (75). 1. Conditioned, to be marked and reported by the letter C. 2. Failed, to be marked and reported by the letter F. 4. Grades in the Normal School books and records are to be marked by the above mentioned letters and those only; but any teacher may give numerical grades to his students if he desires to do so. 5. Each teacher establishes his own requirements for the ranks to be attained. 6. A student who is conditioned in any subject which continues from one quarter to another, may continue in that subject, but must satisfy the teacher under whom he is conditioned that he has made up the conditioned work, the time and method of satisfaction to be left to each teacher. If a student fails to make up conditioned work within one year after condition is imposed, he shall be required to do the work again in class. 7. A student who has failed in any subject which continues from one quarter to another, shall do again in the class the work in which he has failed and shall not do advanced work in that subject until a passing grade shall be made in the back work. 26 (Page 27) COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. Special Course, One Year. FOR TEACHERS IN RURAL AND OTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. We now 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. No part of this course is eighth grade work or Elementary School work. It is of the rank of severe High School work. It is the very thing that many High School graduates need and take. It is given for two purposes: 1. 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 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 by the school. the student, if any in the subject 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 others are to be clustered 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. 31 (Page 32) DAILY PROGRAM, FIRST QUARTER, SEPT, 12 TO DEC. 2, 1904.

It is earnestly desired that the aim of this department be clearly understood. Physical culture, aside from its unquestionable importance as a means of rest and recreation, has a recognized practical value as an auxiliary to serious study. Entirely appropriate to those who are by nature robust, it is absolutely essential to the student whose physical health is in any degree impaired. The purpose of the management, therefore, is to make all athletics, in-door and out-door, not only pleasurable, but profitable. Accordingly, all work in this department will be, in future, so classified and specialized as to render it possible for every student of the School to enjoy its benefits. The School is supplied with an excellent gymnasium fully equipped with the apparatus necessary to systematic class work. The Athletic Field affords the best of facilities for foot ball, base ball, tennis, track work, and all other forms of out- door sports. Probably no variety of physical exercise is more suitable to a thoroughly symmetrical development of the body than the infantry drill as prescribed for the regular soldier. Upon this theory it has been decided to organize, as an addition to the Athletic Department, a body of military 35 (Page 36) to be recruited from the student corps by voluntary enlistment. All students who are not less than five feet one inch in height, and who are in no other way disqualified for military service, are eligible to enrollment. Equipments will consist of a full complement of Springfield rifles of the latest model, sabres, ammunition, targets, and a convenient armory. The undress or fatigue uniform will be worn at drill. All exercises will be strictly practical. Thorough instruction will be given in the school of the soldier, company, and battalion; rifle firing at from 100 to 500 yards; duties of the camp, guard mounting, guard duty, dress parade and inspection. At stated intervals, recitations will be had in the TJ. S. Army Drill Regulations. For the purpose of encouraging an active interest in general athletics, this department is to be considered as belonging to the regular curriculum, and credits will be allowed for work done toward all degrees conferred by the School.

In view of Mr. Harvey's absence in Harvard during the past year and the material strengthening of the Department of Mathematics by the addition of apparatus and other helps, it is not deemed advisable to state specifically the degree of advancement which will be made by classes in Arithmetic and High School Algebra. This much, however, may be said: First of all a more rigid and thorough teachers' course in Arithmetic will be given. This will require from twelve to twenty-four weeks, owing to the nature of the students taking the course. Dividing the time into quarters of twelve weeks each and increasing the teaching force will enable the Department to make better classification and to treat Arithmetic more effectively than before. Texts in Arithmetic: Moore, McNeill. It is intended to cover the greater part of High School Algebra in three quarters as heretofore. After a few months of trial under the new system specific announcement will be made as to the beginning and ending of each quarter's work in Algebra. Text: Wentworth's New School Algebra. Plane Geometry. The first quarter's work in Plane Geometry is expected to cover books one and two in Phillips and Fisher. The second quarter's work will be devoted to books three, four and five in Phillips and Fisher, the third quarter to Solid and Spherical Geometry. Text: Phillips and Fisher. Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. The course in Plane and Spherical Trigonometry presupposes a thorough knowledge of High School Algebra and Geometry. Two quarters will be devoted to Plane and Spherical Trigonometry including their application to surveying. Text: Crockett's Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. College Alegbra. This course will include a more thorough study of the quadratic forms, imaginary quantities, binomial surds, series, binomial theorem, logarithms, determinants and 45 (Page 46) the general theory of equations. It will probably be given during the first and fourth quarters of the year. Text: Wentworth's College Algebra. Analytics. This subject will include a careful study of the straight line, circle, parabola, ellipse, hyperbola, the harmonic pencil range, etc. It will probably be given during the third and fourth quarters. Text: Charles Smith's Conic Sections. Differential and Integral Calculus. This will include a combination of Differential and Integral Calculus, as strong a course as may be given of the combined subjects in six months, whenever demanded. Text: Byerly's Differential and Integral Calculus. NOTE: Text books mentioned in these courses are to be regarded as guides. The plan of teaching is such as to require a great deal of study and practice on principles and problems added by the teacher, our purpose being to so treat each subject as to prepare our students to teach the same and teach it well.

It is the purpose in the library to induce a spirit of investigation, to train individual judgment by laboratory methods, not only in supplementary work but in a general course of reading to be determined by children's interests in individual work, story hour, pictures, etc. The foregoing to be carefully worked out in the children's department of the library course. MUSIC OUTLINE. Children learn better through doing or acting than by reason or analysis. Hence self-expression in the composition of words and tones, creates originality and is a comprehensive means of learning expressive use of language and tonal relation. The idea should precede the representation. The tonal idea depends upon the arrangement of tones, notation is the thought and tone represented by symbols. This may be divided into three stages: Acting, graphic representation, notation. 67 (Page 68) FIRST GRADE. RHYTHM. Rhythmical motion songs. MELODY.

The aim of this Department is as follows: To give theoretical and practical training which will fit its graduates to take charge of kindergartens, public or private. To give such instruction in child training as may be helpful to students expecting to become primary teachers. To give all Normal school students an idea of the Kindergarten and what it stands for as an educational factor. To give training to those who have the care of children and wish to be aided by the insight into child nature which a study of the kindergarten system affords. GRADUATION. The following units will be required: Kindergarten Theory and Practice....3 Psychology and History of Education....1 English....3 Science....2 History....1 Mathematics....2 Vocal Music and Physical Culture....2 Drawing....1 Elective....3 Kindergarten theory and practice will include the following: Study of the child and child training based upon Froebel's Mutter und Kose Lieder and other works. 74 (Page 75) Gifts - Theory and practical work supplemented by form work introductory to primary Arithmetic. Occupations - Hand work suitable for small children and related to the Manual Training which follows the Kindergarten. Music-Study of children's voices and development of rhythm, tone and pitch. Study of children's songs and method of presenting. Students should be able to play the songs, also marches and simple rhythms. Games - Developing the play spirit of students. Study of the meaning of play; the form, words, music and purpose of individual plays and method of conducting. Stories - Study of stories for children; purpose, form and manner of presenting. Practice in story telling. Language and Sense Training - Games for developing the special senses and also for gaining power in the use of correct English. Program Work - Plans for the work of the year, season, week and day will be discussed. Practical Work - One period each morning with the children and one of class work in the afternoon will be required. Persons seeking graduation in the Elementary Course may devote to Kindergarten Theory and Practice the time which is ordinarily given to work in the Practice School; and when this and a sufficient amount of additional work shall have been done, their Elementary Certificates may be designated as "Elementary Kindergarten Certificates." But all such persons should be of the rank of High School graduates or practically so. Those desiring less work than is specified as constituting a complete course, will, if properly qualified, be accommodated and given due credit but no diploma will be given them. 75 (Page 76) ENROLLMENT, 1903-04.

Last fall the Young Men's Christian Association of the school conducted a bureau of information for new students, to the helpful influence of which many students can gratefully testily. President Kirk gives the movement his most hearty support and has repeatedly thanked the Association for its practical aid to both faculty and students. The Y.M.C.A. will again conduct an Information Bureau in the Y.M.C.A. room of the Normal building during the first week of school. At the Bureau will be found a complete boarding House list with all necessary details, and Association men will be glad to take students to any of the boarding houses desired or to show any other possible courtesy. If trunk checks are turned over to the Bureau, baggage will be delivered to any boarding place without cost other than the Y.M.C.A. rate which is 10 cents below the usual price. The Association will also have regular Committeemen wearing badges who will meet all day trains and night trains as well, if the Y.M.C.A. president is notified in advance. By these means it is hoped that the Association's helplulness may be even greater than in past years. The Association accepts nothing for its services except the gratitude of those whom it may be able to help and the satisfaction of attempting to show an unselfish, Christian spirit. It is true that every young man is given a most cordial invitation to unite with the Association in the development ol a noble, Christian manhood, but the services rendered carry with them not the slightest obligation to join the organization. All correspondence addressed to President W.M. Wells, 1016 S. Davis St., Kirksville, Mo., will receive careful and courteous attention. Y.M.C.A. LECTURE COURSE. Among the many helplul features offered by the Y.M.C.A. is the Standard Lecture Course given under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A's of the Andrew T. Still School of Osteopathy and the Normal School. The Lecture Course has rapidly grown in popularity in the past few years and is now one of the very best in the state. The Course for the year 1904-05 promises to be the best ever offered. The increased cost for talent this year is justified only by the remarkable support given the Course in the past. The price for season tickets is $1.50. Single tickets 50 cents. The Course for 1904-05 is as follows: October '04, Haskell Indian Band. November, Dr. Powell. December, Dr. Russell Conwell. February '05, Richmond P. Hobson. March, Katherine Ridgeway Concert Co. April, Frank Dixon. 88 (Page 89) (Back Cover) WORKING CALENDAR. 1904-1905. Classification of Resident Students....Thursday and Friday, Sept. 8 and 9.
