ALUMNI OFFICERS 1911

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Our Alumni Association now fills an important place in the educational circles of Nebraska. Its membership is now one thousand three hundred si x ty. Among this number are educators of prominence thruout this state and the nation. The Association has been of great assistance in the upbuilding of this institution. Its chief aim has always been to promote the welfare of the school by loyal and enthusiastic support of the administration. In this connection it is of interest to note that all but thirty-four of the graduateo, are now living, 70 per cent are living in Nebraska and 80 per cent of this number are in the teaching profession; 20 per cent of those teaching are holding college ao.d normal professorships, or are superintendents of city schools. Of this entire number of graduates there have been 1,168 who taught two years or more after graduation. Âˇ The above figures do not include the large number who have taught in the state on elementary certificates.

THE PERU NORMAL BULLETIN

GENERAL INFORMATION SUMMER SCHOOL

The summer school has become a permanent feature of the Peru Kormal. =\Iany teachers who cannot spend a full year in the Normal at one time, find in the summer term an excellent opportunity for advancement. Some complete. every summer. a section of the regular course leading to a life certificate. A half semester's credit mav be earned in the summer session. Some come to review the comnion branches preparatory to taking the state examinations, others come after graduation to take advanced work that leads to the Bachelor of Education degree. ~o better preparation in so short a time can be made by the normal training graduates from the high schools of the state. The model <school, consisting of a complete system of graded schools, and the model rural school. will afford teachers and prospective teachers an excellent opportunity for observation of expert teaching. and for the acquirement of the latest and most approved methods and devices for meeting the problems in these respective schools. SPECIAl, FEATURES OF THE SUMMI!JR SESSION

In addition to all the regular counes which lead to the different grades of county and state certificates, the following are special features of the work offered in the summer session: Advanced work leading to the degree Bachelor of Education; round tables, conducted for rural school, graded school and high school teachers ; model rural school and model graded school in session during June; courses in pnblic school administration, designed for superintendents. principals and others holding supervisory positions; courses in kindergarten and primary methods, to meet the needs of hoth the experienced and beginning teacher. Also courses in domestic economy. manual training, agriculture .. shorthand, typewriting, public school music, instrumental music, violin, art and clay modeling. FACULTY AND EQUIPMENT

::\early all the members of the regular faculty will be retained during the summer session. In addition to these, a number of Xebraska's most successful superintendents and principals have been engaged either for a part, or all the session, some to deliver a series of lectures on educational topics, others to conduct round tables, or to teach regular classes.

THE PERU NORMAL BULLETIN

The following are among those already engaged: Dr. W. ~I. Davidson of Omaha; Supt. W. L. Stephens of Lincoln; Supt. \Y. W. Stoner of York; Supt. J. A. Doremus of Auburn; Supt. I. G. 'Wilson of Pawnee City. Thus one Âˇof the strongest faculties enr assembled at a Nebraska summer school will be employed in Peru this summer. The total equipment of the normal, consisting of eight large buildings with all their apparatus and educational appliances, will be at the service of the summer school student. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

Anyone who has completed the equivalent of the eighth grade, or who holds a teacher's certificate, may enter the summer school. EXPENSES

Nearly everyone in selecting a place to attend school, desires to know in advance what the cost will be. Inasmuch as the Peru Normal is a state school, there are no tuition fas. A matriculation fee of $t) gives the student life privileges in the school. Furnished room and board may be obtained at Mt. Vernon Hall, in the ladies' dormitory, for $3 a week. Board and room in private homes, and private dormitories, ranges from $3.50 to $4.50 a week. Many students rent ro~ ms that are equipped for light housekeeping, thus very materially reducing the cost of attending school. Those desiring rooms in Mt. Vernon Hall should send request at once, together wth deposit of $2, to the Registrar. In case the rooms are all engaged when the money is received, it will be returned to the sender. TEXT-BOORS RENTED

Students mav rent text-books for the summer at the rate of 15 cents per book for the session. The student is required to deposit $3 at the time of registration, which is returned to him at the close of school, less the rental charges. Rental of text-books will range from GO cents to $1.00 for the summer. TEACHERS' BUREAU

There is a constantly increasing demand for teachers trained in the normal school. Pen! has a department, under thoro organization, that looks after placing Âˇits graduates and stndents in the most suitable positions attainable. Last spring and summer several hundred teachers were located directly thru the agency of this department. At present we are unable to snpply one-half the demands for normal trained teacbers. It often happens that the advance in salary, which one is able to command. will more than pay in a single year. the total cost of snmmer school attendance. GOOD RAILROAD CONNECTIONS

Teachers and students on the main line of the Burlington will find excellent connections for Pern. At Hastings, l\linden, and

THE PERU NORMAL BULLETIN

points west, at Grand Island, Ravenna, and points northwest, and also on all connecting branch lines, students will take the trains that reach Lincoln Ly 2:00 p. m., leaving Lincoln on the Nebraska City train which arrives at Peru at 6 :10 in the evening. Students on the main line of the Union Pacific and its branches, will take the early east bound trains, and change to the Burlington at Grand Island, or Columlms, or to the Elkhorn in Fremont. Those who can come bv the way of Gmaha shonld leave Omaha at 4 :30 in the afternoon, making connection for Pern at Nebraska City. Direct connection is made at Nebraska City now with the Burlington trains which leave Omaha at 4 :ao D. m. Students on the Missouri Pacific and branch lines will find it convenient to connect with the afternoon Burlington at Auburn or the evening Burlington at Nebraska City. The Holdrege and Nebraska City line passes thru Peru. ENVIRONMENT

Pem is located in one of the most beautiful spots in the west. The wooded hills, and magnificient campus, covered with giant oaks, make a cool shade that attracts hundreds of teachers every summer to Peru. The legislative committee on Public Lands and Buildings, after a careful inspection of the school, its buildings and grounds, made the following report to the I'\ ebraska State Legislature: "As to the State ="T ormal School at Peru, we vvant to state that this school is as old as the State of Nebraska itself, and we are of the opinion that this is one place where the state has received one hnnclrecl cents for every dollar it bas expended. Located on the bluffs and oyerlooking th~ Missouri river valley, the campus contains GO acres, covered with elm, oak and walnut trees, which make it the most ideal location of any institution of its k.incl in the state."

THE PERU NORMAL BULLETIN

For those ·who have ever climbed one of Peru's hills, or looked out from the windmvs of the normal school, or taken in the beauty from the tower, the words of this brief sketch are all unnecessa~ unless, perchance, to awaken fond recollections of a panorama th~t the pen can but poorly portray and the memory can never let go. Those who have been initiated will all agree that no one can offer a fair estimate of Peru who has not looked out from the top of one of the many hills among which the village lies. The experienced traveler, wherever he may be, hastens to find tl1e highest point of land from ·which to get his bearings in a new country. If he is in Paris, he climbs to the top of Eiffel Tower, perhaps, and there, with map in hand, he takes a bird's-eye view of the Seine with its many windings, and the extensive forest of the famous Rois de Boulogne, but-incredible as the statement may seem-all that he may see in this French landscape does not surpass the beauty that awaits one who looks out from Pike's Peak or Mt. Vernon Hill at Peru, when the lights of morning or evening outline the distant hills. Standing on Pike's Peak, one sees to the north the fertile flood plain at the foot of the westward curving hills, ·where cattle graze and rich crops grow. The river makes a mighty bene\ to the east around these acres of rich bottom-land, but they are nevertheless the river's own, to which it lays claim year by year. Diagonally across the levelland extends the Burlington railroad, and yet another and newer construction is the drainage ditch, which connects Buck Creek and Camn Creek with the 1\Iissouri River. Here in wintei the Peru boys ~nd girls emulate the Dutch children skating upon the canals. Along the river banks, in thick stands the willows grow, the little pussy-willovvs and the larger black willow. At a distance their dense green leafage suggests a more enduring forest than this plant of rapid growth, that springs up in a season to take possession of newly made river-banks and island- bars. Nature makes use of this plant with its matted net work of roots to hold the soft sands. JTan employs it for rip-rapping along the banks. The width of the river is not readily determined by the observer, for wooded islands are easily mistaken for the opposite shore. Nor does the old river betray any suggestion of its mighty current, seeming often as calm as the sleeping giant of old. Well does the old timer of Peru know

THE PERU NORMAL BULLETIN

the danger of toying with its treacherous waters, and his life is quite apart from it now that steamboats no longer call him to its shores. ~Iany have forgotten where the boat landing used to be and the row of \rarehouses along the water front, swallowed up by the river more than a <:narter of a century ago. The farther the eye travels across the river, the more beautiful the view becomes. There the Iowa hills appear veiled in hazy blue. or dimmed by blowing sands until they resemble thin clouds. Truly,

"'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, .1nd robes the mountain in its azure hue." Have you ever climbed the long hill to Mt. Vernon Cemetery? With conscious effort you walk up the long grade, head bowed, eyes downcast, when, pausing to get your breath, you lift your gaze to the horizon, and suddenly all your weariness disappears under the magic of the scene spread in unmeasured expanse before you. Then the world is beautiful indeed! The village in the valley below! The Normal School buirl.ings rising above the oak forests like Heidelburg Castle on the German hillside! And, as evening approaches, the deep green foliage starred with electric lights! Old Peru, aside from its being a term of endearment in school songs and sayings, reminds one that as a Nebraska town it has attained an advanced age. Situated in the corner of the state earliest settled, it has passed the half-century mark, and possesses a history of its own. lt has gone through the usual stages of a river town, deserted by boats and even by the river itself; but it has fared better than most of these towns, in that a State Normal school was located here and becan-cc the seat of early education and culture in Nebraska. The individual atmosphere that time alone can give a school and town is beginning to manifest itself, and that atmosphere, if it were to be described, might rightfully be characterized as educational, in the highest sense. ): atnre does and will exert its influence over the mind. As the northern poets of England reflect the beauty of the Lake Region, or Scott's novels give out the spirit of the Highlands, so the hills, forest and stream stimulate the imagination at Peru. The youthful fancy, in the most formative period, far removed from distracting influences, may here follow those quiet paths that lead to true wisdom and natural development.

A few years ago Professor J. L. McBrien, then State Superintendent of ::\ ebraska, saw that there was a coming demand for normal trained te:-tchers who were able to teach the business branches and more practical subjects in the high schools of Nebraska. Through his efforts the Board of Education established the Department of Commerce in the State Normal to meet this demand. The work in this department will be more extensive than ever beiore. The teachers of the different business branches have had special training for their work. The course is so arranged that any tudent may elect all his work, except the required teacher's training work in these business branches. \Vhen any student completes the full course in Business Principles and Commerce, together with the required work of the normal training, he will be granted a diploma with an extra certificate from this department showing that he is qualified to teach in the business department of high schools and business colleges.

Many teachers are carrying in absentia work, completing from five to ten hours each school year, thus earning fro1t1 four to eight weeks on time credit toward graduation. Address inquiries to D. W.
