Seventh—They must “sign a declaration of intention to follow the business of teaching in the Public Schools of the State.”

Eighth—They must sign a pledge to cheerfully comply with the regulations of the school, requiring promptitude, regularity, and proper decorum.

CLASSIFICATION.

The school is divided into eight classes, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, and A. New students may enter any one of these classes for which they are prepared. But before entering they must stand a satisfactory examination on all the subjects taught in the classes below that which they wish to enter, or present other satisfactory evidence of proficiency in them.

PROGRAMME.

The school day is divided into seven recitation periods of 40 minutes each, with periods of twenty minutes for spelling and ten minutes for a general exercise in calisthenics. The time of the commencement of each recitation is given at the left of the programme on pages 24 and 25 of this catalogue. From these it can be seen what each class is doing each hour of the day during each term in the year.

REGULAR AND SELECT COURSES.

We earnestly advise all students, when it is possible, to pursue a regular course. With less than this, they cannot expect to be highly successful in the profession of teaching. But if, from any cause, it is necessary for a student to pursue an irregular course, he can determine from the programme what studies he may take and avoid conflicts in the times of recitation. 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.

CONDITIONS OF GRADUATION.

First.—Candidates must possess a good moral character, and make a record of not less than 90 per cent, in deportment and in spelling.

Second.—They must possess sufficient maturity of mind to be able to teach a common school.

Third.—They must pursue regularly all the professional studies of the course in which they wish to graduate.

Fourth.—They must make a grade of not less than 75 per cent, in each branch of study in the course. Students making a grade of 90 per cent, or more, in any subject will be considered distinguished in that subject, and will be so announced.

Fifth.—Applicants for either Certificates or Diplomas must do actual teaching four hours per day for ten weeks, or its equivalent, in the Model School, during the last year of the course in which they graduate.

Sixth.—They must submit to the faculty, at the middle of the second term, a thesis on some educational or literary topic.

NORMAL DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES, LICENSES TO TEACH.

By virtue of the following law, enacted by the Thirty-Fourth General Assembly of the State, and revised and amended by the Thirty-fifth, holders of Normal Diplomas and Certificates may teach in the public schools of the State without further examination:

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:

Section 1. That article three (3), chapter one hundred and fifty (150), of the revised Statutes of Missouri, entitled “Of Normal Schools,” be and the same is hereby amended by adding a new section thereto, to-be numbered and known as section 7179a which section shall read as follows:

SECTION 7179a. The normal diploma conferred upon completing a four years’ course, shall entitle its owner to teach school in any county in this state without fur-ther examination, until annulled by the Board of Regents or Curators granting the same, or by the County School Commissioner, or State Superintendent of Schools, for Incompetency, cruelty, immorality drunkenness or neglect of duty, and the graded certificate now granted upon the. completion of the two years’ course, shall, in like manner, entitle the holder to teach the several branches of study named therein for a period of two years from the date of graduation, unless such certificate be sooner annulled by said Board, or County School Commissioner, or State Superintendent of Schools, for one or more of the causes above specified. The provisions of this section shall apply also to the Normal Department of the University of Missouri and of Lincoln Institute.

DESIGN.

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 instruction in such branches of learning as are taught in the public schools of the state, including Graded and 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.

CHARACTER OF A NORMAL SCHOOL.

A Normal School is a school designed to teach students how to become efficient teachers. It is an institution in which those wishing to become teachers may learn both the subjects to be taught and how to teach them.

The fundamental idea of the Normal School is, that knowing a thing, and knowing how to teach that thing, are very different facts. All proper teaching involves the possession of an art, wholly different from the mere knowledge of the subject to be taught. Though it is true that, one having the art of teaching may not be able to teach what he does not know, it is not the less true that, one not having this art cannot teach what he does know.



(Page 22)



22 MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

In the language of Dr. Hart, "The mere possession of knowledge does not make one a teacher; any more than the possession of powder and shot makes him a marksman." To acquire knowledge ourselves, and put others in possession of what we have acquired, are distinct and quite unlike things. The art of teaching is the one indispensable qualification of the teacher. Without this, whatever else he may have, he is no teacher. To develop teaching power, to train students in the art of teaching, is the work of the Normal School.

A State Normal School is as necessary a part of a system of public education as the primary or the grammar school. The greatest want of the age is the want of good teachers. Nature furnishes some with special talents for teaching, a natural “aptness to teach,” but professional training is essential to develop, educate, and qualify nature’s material for the highest efficiency. In Normal Schools experienced educators are employed in training the young in the art of teaching. The student teacher, living and moving for weeks and months among those who have taught and look upon teaching as a profession, acquires manners and habits peculiarly helpful in future work.

MEANS EMPLOYED TO TRAIN TEACHERS.

These are: First.—Thorough study by the students. We expect them to study their lessons and to become familiar with hard study. They are taught that all education is and must be self-education.

Second.—Careful and critical recitation under the direction of the teacher. We expect students to recite without assistance from the teachers. The teacher aims only to direct, encourage, and stimulate the student.

Third.-The study of teaching. This includes three distinct courses of study. The first embraces the object, means, and methods of teaching, the motives of the teacher, and the methods of organizing, conducting and governing schools. The second treats of the methods of teaching the various branches of study. The third relates to the study of the mental and moral powers, their nature and their culture.

Fourth.—Practice in the Model School. All who intend to graduate, and such other students as are prepared for it, practice teaching in the Model School. They compare their work with standards of good teaching, and receive advice and instruction from the Superintendent of the Model School, and the teachers of the Normal School.

26 MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

To THE PUBLIC.
 
Aptness to teach is the first great requisite to success in the teacher. Normal schools, may develop talent, but they cannot change or displace those inborn elements of character that are incompatible with success as teachers. No medical school can transform an awkward man into a skillful surgeon, an uncouth, brutal man into a kind, sympathizing physician. It is the business of the Normal Schools to acquaint its students with the best methods of teaching and discipline, to encourage wide culture and self-control, but to pretend to make expert teachers and disciplinarians of those to whom Nature has denied an aptitude for teaching and discipline, would be mere quackery. It is a matter of regret that such a caution seems necessary, but experience demonstrates that schoolboards and others should be warned against those who attend the Normal schools long enough only to be enrolled on our records in order to pass themselves off as Normal teachers. We disclaim responsibility for the work of persons who do not attend the school long enough to attain a respectable proficiency in their studies and in professional training. Even in the case of those who, having finished the prescribed course of studies, receive the certificate or diploma of the school, we cannot always guarantee real ability or immediate success. We bespeak the same fairness and liberality of treatment at the hands of the public that are accorded other professional schools.

VOCAL MUSIC.

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 graduates 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.

The importance given to this subject is only proportionate to its real value. Not only does singing rank deservedly high among the arts, being second to none in the wide reach of its capacity to impart pleasure, but the training of the voice in the assiduous study and practice of vocal music does much to cultivate it with reference to other uses.

All human history goes to show that vocal music has always held a very high place in the appreciation of the race. This appreciation has not only hot lost its strength, but has grown stronger with the growth of civilization. It is not contemplated that thorough training of the voice can be given in the Normal Course, but it is hoped that students will both form a taste for Vocal Music, and become thoroughly grounded in the elements, and be able to teach it both in theory and practice.

It is, also, believed that assiduous practice with reference to controlling and modulating the voice will be found highly beneficial in speaking as well as in conversation, and will be a substantial aid to the student in mastering the art of elocution.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.

Although Instrumental Music forma no part Of the regular curriculum of the school, opportunities are offered for the study of Piano, Organ and Voice Culture under the best instructors, at moderate cost.

MODEL AND TRAINING SCHOOL.

The Model Department was established November 13, 1882, in order that there might be a school, in connection with the Normal School, exhibiting the best methods of classification, teaching and discipline, which the students could visit and observe, take part in as instructors, and put in practice the methods they have studied. Continued experience with the Model School adds to the appreciation of it as a feature of the Normal school. It is found, by both teachers and students of the Normal School, that it serves, to the fullest, the purpose for which it was designed.

In all other callings and professions, it has always been held that practice was not in anywise less important than a thorough understanding of the theory, in order to be master of them. Indeed, in many callings, especially in the mechanic arts, practice has customarily been elevated to a prominence so far above theory, that it has been held, that to serve an apprenticeship in the practice was sufficient training.

In the learned professions such a relation could not, in the nature of the case, be sustained between theory and pratice: but yet the serving of an apprenticeship in the actual practice of every learned profession, in connection with study, has come to be




(Page 28)



28 MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

more and more regarded as an absolutely indispensable part of the necessary training.

The moot court of the lawyer and the clinic of the physician, are neither of more vital importance to those professions than the School of Practice to the Normal student; jet the school of medicine or of law that undertook to turn out students thoroughly equipped for practice in actual business in its calling without having supplied this means of learning from example as well as precept, of combining theory with practice, would fail utterly of patronage.

In the School of Practice or Model School, members of the graduating classes are required to teach under the careful criticism of experienced teachers, and no one is graduated or licensed to teach in the Schools of the State who does not satisfactorily stand this practical test of fitness for the work.

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 of teaching which should be familiar to every true teacher, whether filling a position in a Primary, Intermediate, or High School.

The influence of such a school on the minds of students about to go out as teachers, is certainly very, great, and hone can fail to see that an opportunity for improvement in the art of teaching is offered, such as is furnished by no other instrumentality.

Indeed, increased experience with the Model School has so fully demonstrated its value, that, as far as possible, it will hereafter be made even more prominent than it has been, as a factor in the creation of teachers. Certainly, no less practice in the teaching of this school will hereafter be exacted of those about to graduate, but, if feasible, and found advisable, even more. The greater the experience of Normal teachers, the more they discover that it is at least as easy, if not easier, to instruct students in the subjects they will teach, than to teach them the art of teaching.

Mere listening to recitations, correcting exercises, and appointing lessons, are no longer looked upon as the only duties of a teacher. Education viewed in its true light, of leading the mind out, of training the intellectual powers to correct habits of thought and study, as well as the proper control and training of pupils in morals and deportment, are now, in the broader view of the subject, regarded as the equally important functions of the skilled teacher. It is not within the power of the Normal teacher to give a correct understanding of these subjects through mere theoretical teaching of them. The example is of greater weight than the precept.

The student teachers are, therefore, under the observation and criticism, while in practice, of the Principal of the Model School, or some other member of the Faculty. A regular system of grading daily the classes under the charge of the student teachers is required of them, in order to insure efficiency in general discipline, and discretion in the use of incentives to study and deportment.

Each day a meeting of the student teachers is held by the Principal of the Model School, when the criticisms of the day are read and profitably discussed, practical methods illustrated, and the work for the next day arranged.



(Page 29)



OF THE FIRST DISTRICT. 29

LOCAL SCHOOL.

The School of Practice, or Training School, is necessarily a local school, as it is composed almost entirely of small children. It was not established for the convenience of Kirksville, whose school taxes have in no wise been affected thereby, but because it is just as necessary an instrument of a Normal School as a library, laboratory or gymnasium. Those who enjoy the advantages of this school, both as pupils and teachers, pay for them.

Such is, and has been up to the present time, the fact with reference to the Model School. But if it is the fact, and it cannot be gainsaid, in the light of continued experience, that this School of Practice is as indispensable to the successful carrying out of the intent of the Normal School, as any other feature of St, then the existence of the Model School should certainly not be left to the precarious means by which it has thus far stood.

It is incontrovertibly established that the practice afforded in this school is as necessary to the prospective teacher, as the knowledge of the subjects he will teach. Then it should be as incumbent upon the State to furnish the means for supplying the school of practice, as that of instruction and theory.

In order, then, that the Model School may be able to offer, at least equal advantages with those of the public schools; and in order that the work of the Normal School may, in no sense be in vain, but be a harmonious whole; that the generous appropriation now made for its support may be most thoroughly efficient for its noble purpose, the Model School should be made entirely free, and the whole cost of its maintenance borne by the State. The cost is altogether insignificant in comparison with the value of results attained.

CRITICISM LESSONS.

Several times a week, classes from the Model School are taught by members of the Method classes of the Normal, in the presence of the class, the Principal of the Model Department, and other members of the Faculty.

This exercise is, as far as possible, a sample of the ordinary recitation* or if allowed to differ from that, it is in order to illustrate more fully some principle or  method considered important. At the close of the lesson the class is dismissed, and the method and manner of the teacher are fully and freely discussed by all present, faults pointed out and improvements suggested. In these discussions many principles are set forth and illustrated, and thus fixed in the minds of the students.

If objections arise in the minds of any, they have an opportunity to present them, and if unfounded they are satisfactorily answered, so that everything proposed is tried by the most natural tests,

It will be seen that in these exercises and discussions the advantages of both theory and practice are combined in a most desirable and efficient manner, and the general principles are better appreciated and remembered.

As the purpose of the Normal School is to prepare teachers for their work, and as “no teaching can be effectual that is not supplemented by training,” it is required of students that they avail themselves of this opportunity for strictly professional work.

HISTORY OF NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The first State Normal School of which we have any accurate account, was founded in 1681, by the Abbe de La Salle, canon of the Cathedral at Rheims.

In 1687, Francke, one of Germany’s most illustrious educators, established a teachers’ class, composed of poof students, who paid for their tuition by assisting him in his work of instruction. In 1704, he selected from his class twelve teachers, who were trained by him for two years, and who exhibited such an aptness to teach that the school, through him, became famous, hundreds coming to it to study his improved methods.

Hecker, a pupil of Francke, established a training school at Stettin, in 1735, and another at Berlin, in 1748. Frederick the Great, under whose patronage he worked, established a Special training of teachers, thus laying the foundation of a thorough professional training as indispensable to the teacher, as the hospital to the inexperienced physician.

Gradually, the system spread over the greater part of Europe, and since 1843, has been introduced into the remaining countries of Europe, into North and South America, into British India, and Japan. The number reported in 1875 is as follows: Italy, 115; Prussia, 101; other German States, 73; England, 41; Belgium, 33; Switzerland, 32; British India, 104, and the rest in proportion.

32 MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

NORMAL SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Massachusetts established the first Normal School in the United States, the Prus¬sian system having been made familiar to the people of New England, by Rev. Charles Brooks, who had become so deeply interested in the system that he resolved to investigate it for himself, and went to Europe for that purpose.

After his return he spent several years endeavoring to disseminate his ideas concerning the importance of Normal Schools, and succeeded in enlisting in the cause many able men, among whom were Horace Mann, John Quincy Adams and Daniel Webster. Finally the legislature of Massachusetts established a State Board of Education. With Horace Mann as Secretary, and made an appropriation to establish two Normal Schools.

In 1834, the Public School Society, of the City of New York, founded a Saturday Normal School, but this was only a High School in which the elementary branches were taught.

In 1833, a Normal School of a private character was opened by S. R. Hall, but it was not until 1839 that the first Normal School was established at Lexington, Mass., tinder the principalship of Cyrus Pierce.

Since 1840, these schools have been growing in number and influence, until at the present time there are one hundred and fifty-six, of which Pennsylvania has 12; Ohio, 12; Missouri, 5; Illinois, 8; Massachusetts, 7; Tennessee, 7; New York, 9; West Virginia. 9, and Wisconsin, 5. They employ one thousand two hundred and twenty-seven instructors, and enroll thirty-nine thousand six hundred and sixty-nine students.

Note.—The above statistics are probably not strictly accurate, as they have not been revised for several years, but they are at least proximately correct and serve to show the growth and development of the Normal School idea in the United States and to convince all that these schools are a permanent feature of our public school system.

HISTORY OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

FIRST DISTRICT, KIRKSVILLE, MO.

In 1870 the Legislature made provisions for two State Normal Schools, one to be located north and the other sooth of the Missouri River. The school for the First Normal District was located at Kirksville and opened as a state institution January 2, 1871.

Adair county voted $100,000 to secure the location of the school, with the understanding that the state would defray all other expenses and keep the school in running order. The Legislature has made annual appropriations for the support of the school, in amounts ranging from $5,000 the first year, to $12.00 at the present time.

To the energy and enthusiasm of Prof. J. Baldwin, the first President of the school, now of Sum Houston Normal School, Huntsville, Texas, more than to any other person, is doe the credit of the establishment of the State Normal School of the First District at Kirksville. He, assisted by Prof. W. P. Nason, Sopt. J. M. Greenwood of Kansas City, and others, had conducted with decided success a private Normal School it Kirksville, for three and one-half yean prior to the legislature providing for the State Normals, and such was the reputation that it had acquired during the time, that the authorities adopted it as the State Normal School for the district without change in the Faculty or course of study. Not only is the credit of locating the school, in probably



(Page 33)



OF THE FIRST DISTRICT. 33

the most accessible place for the greatest number of people in North Missouri, due to Prof. Baldwin, but his zeal and enthusiasm in the cause of education gave an impulse to our public schools which will be felt in the state long after he has filled an honored grave.

MISCELLANEOUS.

DISCIPLINE.

First. -- A Normal School is in a high sense a model school.  Here the art of school management is embodied in practice and taught by example as well as by theory.

Second. -- Our students are to be teachers.  Each one is expected to act as he will wish his pupils to act.  Conduct is viewed from the standpoint of both teacher and pupil.

Third. -- The true principle of school government -- that authority is vested in the Faculty, and not in the pupil -- will be strictly adhered to.

Fourth. -- Students found to be disorderly, indolent or inattentive to duty will be peremptorily dismissed. Such students are not the material out of which to make teachers.

34 MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

The judges for 1888-89 were: Profs. E. A. Allen and A. F. Fleet, of the University of Missouri, and Hon. E. W. Stephens, editor of the Columbia Herald.

The accurate scholarship, literary taste, and general culture of this committee are a guarantee of the thoroughness and accuracy with which they performed their duty. These gentlemen will please accept the thanks of the Faculty and School.

The medal was awarded to Miss Caddie Fields, of Hamilton, Mo.

WM. T. BAIRD PRIZE MEDAL.—For the best declamation, Mr. Wm. T, Baird, Treasurer of the Board of Regents, annually awards a fifteen dollar gold medal.

FOUT & BEAN PRIZE MEDAL.—Messrs. Fout & Bean offer a twenty dollar gold medal for the best original oration on some patriotic subject to be delivered on Feb. 22nd. Conditions to be prescribed by the Faculty.

MORAL INFLUENCE.

Most of the Protestant denominations of the West are represented here. Their Sunday Schools and Churches extend a cordial welcome to the students. The students board in the families of our best citizens.

LIBRARIES.

Three Libraries have been begun and are in process of accumulation.

1. A general library which contains a considerable number of standard works of science, poetry, biography, fiction, general literature, and history. About five hundred volumes have been added to this library during the past year. These books were 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. To this library have been added recently a set of Encyclopedia Brittannica, Chambers’ Encyclopedia of English Literature, Duyckinck’s Cyclo-pedia of American Literature, Appleton’s Cyclopedia of American Biography, and a number of other valuable books of reference.

3. A professional library is kept in the President’s room, and is designed to contain such books and reports as may aid teachers in their profession. These libraries are free to all students, and, though small, are found to be valuable helps, No effort will be spared to increase these libraries until they shall reach a magnitude commensurate 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.



(Page 35)

COURSE OF READING.

Systematic reading is more profitable than desultory. What books a student reads is as important as what branches he studies. There is a proper order to be observed in reading. Unless directed by a person of more experience than himself, a student must waste much time in learning what to read, and when to read it. Nothing is of more importance to the teacher than the habit of regular heading.

The following course is prescribed as suited to the respective classes, and selected with a view to form a correct taste and give acquaintance with a few of the best authors:

A.

Undine – Fouque
The Ancient Mariner – Coleridge
Life of Oliver Cromwell – Lamartine
Tom Brown at Oxford – Hughes
Student’s Gibbon – Liddle
David Copperfield – Dickens
Life of Macaulay – Trevelyan
Marmion – Scott
My School and School Masters – Miller

B.

Life of Joan of Arc – Michelet
Short History of the English People – Green 
The Newcombs – Thackeray
Rasselas – Johnson
Life of Goldsmith – Irving
French Revolution – Carlyle
Shirley – Bronte
King Lear – Shakespeare
The Chinese – Martin

C.

Conquest of Mexico – Prescott
A Fair God – Wallace 
Out old Home – Hawthorne
Conquest of Grenada – Irving
Venetian Days – Howells

D.

Ivanhoe – Scott
Lady of the Lake – Scott
Evangeline – Longfellow 
Scarlet Letter – Hawthorne

E.

Life of Columbus – Irving
Views Afoot – Taylor
Life of Hannibal – Arnold
Sketch Book – Irving

F.

Life of Benjamin Franklin 
Tom Brown at Rugby – Hughes
Vicar of Wakefield – Goldsmith

These books will be placed in the Reading Room for the convenience of those who may desire to pursue the course.

For the teacher, more than any one else, the habit of reading, if practiced discriminatingly, is of the very greatest importance. In a large measure, the calling is such as to isolate one from free intercourse with his fellows. There is great danger of falling into ruts, and narrow views and habits of thought. Reading the proper kinds of books and discussing them, does much to counteract this and take the place of personal associations:

The lives of great men are fruitful of suggestions to the thoughtful reader, and are, therefore, among the most profitable subjects for reading. An intimate acquaintance with the classics is of the utmost importance in the formation of a correct style without which any teacher will be ill prepared to teach that fundamental, and all important study, our mother tongue. In order that a sound and well-grounded taste for reading may be inculcated in the prospective teachers, while in the formative process, there will be offered the following

PRIZE.

A prize of fifteen dollars, offered by the President and Secretary of the school, will be awarded, at the close of the school, to the student presenting the best set of notes on the course of reading prescribed for his class.

36 MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

LITERARY SOCIETIES.

There are connected with the school three literary societies. In these societies literary exercises, consisting of readings, declamations, essays, orations, debates, etc., are held weekly. The membership of these societies consists 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 and control 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 constitute a part of the regular exercises. This arrangment is adopted because it is believed that the training to be obtained thereby is of the deepest importance to the student. While the occasions may not be numerous on which it may devolve upon the teacher of a common school to make public addresses, still there will always be some, and the ability with which he acquits himself will be a matter of importance to himself and to his school.

But, 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 his school with the greatest efficiency. For the sake, therefore, of being able to conduct the business of teaching with the best results, as well as to offer to their pupils an example worthy of imitation, the Normal students should 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

A certificate of attendance and standing of any student will be sent on application of any school officer; but members of the Faculty are requested not to sign any recommendation, except upon application of school officers or other persons desiring teachers. Certificates and diplomas are the best recommendations.

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 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; They will be welcome for a day, a week or a year.

LOCATION.

The location is very desirable. Kirksville is proverbial for good health. Railroad facilities are all that could be desired, The Wabash Western Railroad, with its numerous connections, the Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City Railroad, crossing at this place and connecting at Trenton, Mo., with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, at Galt with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, at Milan with the Chicago, Burlington & Kansas City, and at West Quincy with the St, Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern, and the Santa Fe extension from Kansas City to Chicago, recently completed, crossing the Wa-



(Page 37)



OF THE FIRST DISTRICT. 37

bash Western 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 of the elements of thrift. Kirksville contains about 3,500 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.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS.

The building was completed for use January 15, 1873, and was dedicated on the 13th of February following. The original cost of the building, grounds, furniture, apparatus and library was $150,000.

Through the liberality of the Thirty-Second General Assembly, an appropriation of $15,065 was made for necessary repairs on the building, for additional apparatus in several departments, and for other necessary improvements, including a new heating apparatus, which comfortably warms the building in the coldest weather.

The building is 180 feet in length and 90 feet in width, with four working stories embracing forty-two rooms. The exterior is imposing, and the interior conveniently; and compactly arranged.

All movements of the school are regulated by electric bells rung by a programme clock. This is the first clock ever used by any school for this purpose. From this one the electric programme dock was patented.

The campus, embracing fifteen acres, is tastefully adorned with evergreens, shrubbery and shade trees. The entire surroundings are designed to illustrate to the students the desirable adornments of every school house.

The work of ornamentation is due to the voluntary contributions of money, and labor by the Faculty and students, and generous donations of other friends. Prof. M. G. Kern, a well-known landscape gardener, now in the employ of the U. S. Government, and engaged in the work of beautifying and improving the grounds of public institutions, recently visited the Normal, and after carefully inspecting the grounds, made a design showing needed improvements in the campus, for the carrying out of which, it is hoped that the State will provide the requisite means.

TO OUR STUDENTS.

We earnestly desire to keep a record of your work and know your whereabouts. By writing a brief account of your school work during the year—how you have succeeded and what your prospects are for advancement, etc.,—and sending it the first of May, you will enable us to compile and publish statistics of interest to the public and great value to the school, and at the same time render it possible for us to put you in correspondence with school officers making inquiries for teachers. For several years we have not been able to supply the constantly increasing demand for competent teachers. Notify us in every instance when you change your address. Address the President of the school.

SELECTED EXTRACTS ON EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS.
PREPARATIONS NECESSARY FOR TEACHING.

Thorough work in any calling requires thorough preparation. No one thinks of doing anything remarkably well without giving that thing unusual attention. Whenever any one distinguishes himself by a brilliant performance, it is proof positive of extra labor in preparation.



(Page 38)



MISSOURI STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

It is a fixed law of nature that cause and effect bear to each other a constant ratio. Success is the effect of preparation. It is measured by the degree of preparation. In other callings this well-known truth is never questioned. No one dreams of success at the law or medicine without long and careful preparation. Why should teachers succeed without it? A teacher works upon children. A child is a complex being—part animal, part intellectual, part spiritual. The laws of its being, growth and development are difficult to understand and more difficult to apply. He deals with children, not singly, but in masses. At school children influence each other. They are more impulsive, more wayward, less subject to reason and right. To train a child is a task so difficult that poets, priests, prophet, sages, kings and philosophers have failed, even with their own children.

To train a room full -- to furnish the right mental and moral food and medicine -— and to have it taken at the right time and in the proper manner and quantities, is the most difficult problem in the world. No natural gifts are sufficient for the work. Every teacher should study the nature of the child, the nature of the mind, the laws of its action, impulses, emotions: should learn to know its weakness and its strength.

In the work of teaching, no one has ever succeeded, and no one ever will succeed, without thorough preparation.

LESSONS.

The proper work of the Normal School is to develop the mind, give a clear comprehension of the theory of education, and teach the application of the theory in practice.

A Normal student should differ from other students in his conduct, in his study and in his recitation. Preparing to become a teacher and a leader, he should in conduct be manly, frank, energetic, self-reliant, having a high standard of thinking and action.

In study he should aim to master the subject from a teacher’s standpoint, seeking to know the subject in all its relations, and in recitation he should try to recite so that the subject may be clear to others, rather than show it is clear to himself.

Obedience to known truth is the King's highway to that which is still beyond us.
The firm resolve to do our duty, regardless of feeling, is the surest way to beget and foster right feeling.
It is a very good thing to be great, but a greater thing to be good.
The secret of success consists in knowing what to do and how to do it, and then doing it when it should be done and as it should be done.
The wisest man may be wiser to-morrow than he is to-day.
Advancement depends upon toil and truth, upon knowing and doing.
Every man is his own worst antagonist.
The most valuable quality in education is accuracy.
No opposition can baffle the persistent man.
Youth must work in order to enjoy.
The complete mastery of one subject is better than a superficial knowledge of many.
The great difference in men consists in this: Some think; others do not.
The spirit of self-help is the root of all genuine growth in the individual.
More persons are made good by exercise than by nature.

ILLUSIONS AND DELUSIONS.

To think:—

That I am a student because I have my name on a school register.
That because I sometimes attend social parties at home I should do the same at school.
That one can succeed in life without hard discipline in youth.
That telling is teaching.
That hearing is learning.
That intending to do is as good as doing.
That he who speaks to us of our errors is our enemy.
That the more we pull another down, the higher we rise ourselves.

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 firmness and resolution, and they will soon disappear. Remember that your progress will depend upon yourself and that there is no more a royal road to learning here than there is elsewhere.

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.

Do not think you can learn everything in one term. The best results come from pursuing a few studies thoroughly. While you cannot learn everything in a single term there are four things we wish you to learn, even while you are pursuing other studies, and these we wish you to learn the first term. They are the lessons of attention, of concentration, how to study and how to recite.

KIND OF STUDENTS WANTED.

Our work is special. We do not offer a general, academic, college, preparatory or seminary education. 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.

IMPORTANT TO STUDENTS.

All students should be present on Monday preceding the opening of the term so that the organization may be speedily effected and the work of the school promptly begun on Tuesday. New students must be present Monday preceding for examination and classification. Those holding Teachers’ Certificates will be excused from the entrance examination.

Boarding costs from $2.50 to $3.00 per week. This includes furnished rooms, lights and fuel. Good homes in private families can always be secured at the above rates.

Club Boarding costs from $1.50 to $2.00 per week. Many of our best students board in small clubs.

Tuition. — Incidental fee for half term, ten weeks, is $5.00. No other fee whatever is required by the institution. The payment of the incidental fee to the treasurer secures for the student a permit, which he must have recorded by the secretary of the school, before entering any class. In no case will the incidental fee be refunded. A permit answers only for the half term for which it is purchased. It will be observed from an inspection of the courses of study and programme of recitations, that the work is arranged for two terms of twenty weeks each, but for the convenience of those who can only attend a short time, the tuition is made payable quarterly.

OF THE FIRST DISTRICT. 41

Persons often write to us, saying they are graduates of such and such a High School, Academy or College, “will you accept my grades? Can I complete a certain course in a given time?” To all such questions we must answer, we will accept your grades if we find you are worthy of them. If your work in the class-room makes it perfectly apparent that your scholarship and development correspond to the grades you present, we will accept them without further examination; otherwise we will give you an examination on the subjects in which there is any doubt of your proficiency. You will readily see that great care must be exercised in accepting grades. Again in regard to the question so often asked, “Can I complete a certain course in a given time?” We answer, we cannot tell; it depends entirely upon your present attainments, your ability and your industry. After examining our courses of study and the conditions of graduation as laid down in the catalogue, you can answer the question with more accuracy than we can.

Persons wishing to engage board in advance, should address Prof. B. P. Gentry, Kirksville, Mo., stating the price per week they wish to pay, and all arrangements will be made.

Ladies coming alone will be met at the depot, and boarding, places found for them, if they will send a postal card addressed to the President or to “State Normal School, Kirksville, Mo., making this request.

Books at from ten to twenty per cent off. New books needed can be purchased from dealers at these rates.

Terms of Admission. — Fifteen is the minimum age of admission for ladies, and sixteen for gentlemen. The applicant must have a fair knowledge of Reading, Spelling, the use of Language, Descriptive Geography and Arithmetic. If a pupil desires to enter an advanced class, he must present satisfactory evidence of proficiency in the subjects of the course below the class he wishes to enter.

Our Fifty Daily Recitations accommodate all. Students qualified for admission will find classes to suit them.

Students can enter at any time, but all are urged to enter at the beginning of the year, or as soon thereafter as possible. The middle of the year is a favorable time for entering.

Courses of Study. — We have two regular courses of study — a two and a four years’ course, arranged with reference to thorough scholarship and the best professional training.

Catalogue containing full explanations will be sent to applicants by first mail.
