Summ er School Bulletin â&#x20AC;˘
HISTORICAL. By LOUISE W. MEARS, Author of "THE HILLS OF PERU."
(All Rights Reserved.)
The forty-fifth birthday of Nebraska, now at hand, marks the same mile-stone for the Peru State Normal School, her oldest institution of higher learning. And, contemporary with them both, are the great oaks, which were seedling upon the campus forty-five years ~go. 'rhe railroad was destined not to reach Peru until eight years after the normal school was established upon its sixty acres of campus; and, in 1870, before a roof spacious enough to shelter the assembled friends had been erected, there ccurred upon the treeless hills the first Commencement Exercises. This Commencement celebration, out under the cleElr N ebraska skies, sent forth two graduates. Why need the riter of romance or the glea~er of history look further for a theme replete with pioneer faith and perseverance~ Present-day knowledge tempts us to pronounce them inspired-those rugged folk gathered on the hill that May morning ! In May, 1911, ¡ a granite boulder was placed upon the campus to mark this spot. "An institution is but the lengthened shadow of one man." In these words the poet seer has expressed for us our tribute to Dr. J. W. McKenzie, the first president and teacher

of the school. He prepared the way in the wilderness, and ~ yearning people responded to his qall. His work is not measured by the short years of his service. The mantle of his influence fell upon the pioneer leaders who folio wed him. For ten years, during the regime of Dr. George L. Farnham and his faculty, eastern culture and learning were transplanted and :firmly rooted in the youthful educational es ~blishment, and the virile Nebraskan of today must yield tribute to the refining influence then engendered. Guarding the welfare of the school thru its early years, was the board of education. The alumni today hold in grateful remembrance the benign influence of Ilon. B. E. B. Kennedy, the embodiment of that silent, unseen power, shaping the destinies of the school for a full quarter of a century. Thru the vista of forty-five years the school is viewed today. The record of its growth to date may be measured in :figures all too cold and unsuggestive-from two graduates to one hundred seventy-five; from sixty-five students to :fifteen hundred; from two teachers to fifty; from one building to ten; and from a campus of hazel bru h to a forest of oaks and elms.

GENERAL INFORMATION. PURPOSE OF SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION. The summer school has become a permanent featu e of the Peru Normal. In many respects it is the most important eight weeks of the whole ear. Many teachers who cannot spend a full year in the normal at one time, find in the summer term an opportunity for advancement during a time that their own schools are not in ession. Many teachers complete 1 very summer a half semester's credit on the regular courses leading to the professional life certificate; some come to review the common branches p ·eparatory to taking the state examinations for some grade of county certificate; some take one of the special courses leading to a supervisor's certificate, as Agriculture, Commerce, Public School Art, Public School Music, Kindergarten, Domestic Science, Manual Training, Oral Expression; while many high school teachers, principals and superintendents come to take th courses leading to the degree, Bachelor of Education. I n arranging the summer school schedul.e special attention has been given to the requirement of the new law on city certificates. For example, a teacher holding a second grade city certificate may complete the work in the summer se sion that will entitle her to a renewal of this certificate. b._~

FACULTY. Recognizing the importance of the summer session, it is the policy of the school to retain on the summer school faculty practically every member of the corps employed during the regular school year. To this large force of able instructors will be added a number of the most promjnent and successful school men and women in the state. To the very careful selection of the summer school faculties is problbly due the fact that teachers and students from eYery part of the state select Peru as the place to attend summer school. In the selection of faculty members it is the policy of the school to select only .men and women of character and high ideals~ those with high standards of scholarship and those wbo are in full sympathy with normal school methods and public school needs. As a result of this policy the fifty men and women constituting the summer school faculty will be an inspiration to the hundreds of students who will come to Peru. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS . ., Anyone who has completed the equivalent of the eighth grade, or who holds a teacher's <;~rtificate, may enter the summer school.

Summer S chool Bulletin
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 fees. A matriculation fee of $5 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. J?oard and room in private homes, and private dormitories, range from $3.50 to $4.50 a week. Many students r ent rooms that are equipped for light housekeeping, thus ver y materially r educing the cost of attending school. Those desiring rooms in Mt. Vernon Ha.}l should send r equest at once, togeth.;r with deposit of $2, to the R egi trar. In case the room are all engaged when the money is r eceived it will be r eturned to the sender. TEXT-BOOKS RENTED. Students may r ent text-books for the summer at the rate of 15 cents per book for the session. The student is r equired to deposit $3 at the time of r egistration, which is r eturned to him at the close of sch ool, less the r ental charges. Rental of text-books will range fr om 60 cents to $1.00 for the summer.

T E A CH E RS ' BUHEA U . There is a constantly increasing demand f or t eachers trained in the normal school. P eru has a department, under thoro organization, that looks after pla cing its graduates an d students in the most suitable po sitions attainable. L ast spr ing and summer several hundred teacher s were located dir ectly thru the agency of this department . At pr esent we ar e unable to supply one-half the demands for normal trained teach er s. It often happens that the advan ce in sala r y, which one is able to command, will more t han pay in a single year the to tal co st of summer sch ool attendance. GOOD RAI LROAD CONNECTI ONS. T eacher s and students on tho main line of the Burlington will fio d excellent connections for P eru. A t Hastings, Minden and points wes t, a t Grand I sland, Ravenna and points nor thwest , and also on all connecting branch line s, s tudents will take the tr ains that i¡each Lincoln by 2:30p.m., leaving Lincoln on the N ebraska City train, which ar rives at Peru at 6:10 in the evening. Students on the main line of the Uni on Pacific and it s bran ches will take the early ea st bound trains, and change to the Burlington at Grand I sland, or Columbu s, or to the Elkhorn in Fremont. Those who can come by th o way of Omaha shouldleaYe Omaha at 4 :30 in th e afternoon, making connection for P eru a t N obra ska City. Dit ect connection is made at Nebraska City now with the Burlington t rain s which leave Omaha at 4:30 p . m. Students

on the Missour i P acific 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. Peru is located in one of the mo st beautiful spots in the west. The wooded hills and magnificent campus, covered with giant oaks, make a cool shade that attracts hundreds of teachers every summer to P eru. The legislati ve committee on Public Lands and Buildings, after a careful inspection of the school, its buildings and grounds, made the following report to the Nebraska State L egislature : ''As to the State Normal School at P eru, we want 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 r eceived one hundred cents for every dollar it has expended. Located on the bluffs and overlooking the Missouri river valley, the campus contains 60 acres, covered with elm, oak and walnut trees, which make it the most ideal location of any institution of its kind in the state." GOOD HEALTH. P eru has been practically free from all forms of contagious diseases for many years. To a strict adherence to the high standards of sanitation is probably due the fact that not a
Sixteen
Peru Stale Normal
single case of typhoid feve r, having its origin here, has been known in P eru during the past twenty years. RULES OF CONDUCT. It is one of the traditions of the school that character stands :first in the list of qualifications of a successful teacher. In keeping with this ideal only young men and young women of character are invited to come to P eru. Hence it has never been deemed necessary to formulate any rules of conduct nor to indulge in any espionage. Students conduct themselves as member s of a law-abiding community, each one taking pride in the good name of the school; thus true character is fo ster ed and developed. Students who are not in harmony with these ideals of the school are advised not to r emain in the school. No school community wa s ever more earne t, industrious, conscientious and circumspect than the 1400 students who have been in the P eru Normal during the course of the year just closing. FACTS ILLUSTRATING THE GROWTH \ND PRESTIGE OF THE SCHOOL. There were 25 per cent more students matriculated in September, 1911 (the present school year), than during any other September in the histor y of the school. The enrollment of the pr e ent year is approxim ately 100 greater than last year.

Many of the highest educational po sition s in Nebraska, beside other high positions of trust and honor, are held by P eru graduates. Last summer school was, with one exceptio11, the largest ever held in Peru. By the close of summer school there will b :; approximately 1800 alumni. Ther e is scarcely a town or village in Nebraska that does not have among its corps of teacher s a number of Peru graduates or former students. SOCIAL LIFE lr THE NORMAL. The social life of Peru find s expression in various chool organizations which, although on the margin of our school life, are still an essential P:'Tt of it. It would be impossible to mention in detail the work of the literary and other societ ies which afford opportunity to the summer student for enjoyment and improvement, but their welcom e to the newcomer is none the less cordial on that account, and ne eds only to be tested to be appreciated. The organizations which touch the school life most widely, perhaps, are the three Christian Associations, the Y. M. C. A ., the Y. W. C. A., and the N. C. A., all working side by side in a spirit of mutual helpfulness. Each of these bas its own individual meetings and social functions in which its members participate, while to the joint effort of the three is due the big opening reception given to the entire school on th e first Saturday of the term. T.hese receptions are
P eru Sialc N ormal
Eighlccn
very popular and help to encourage th e feeling of good f ellowship which characterizes the school. I n additio n to that of the sch ool, the town also offer s a mo st cordial welcome to students. The churches especially are earnest in their endeavor to make all who come feel at hom e during their stay in P eru. P eru Normal does not have any fraternal or other secr et orgamzations. THE TRAINING SCHOOL AND S CHOOL OF METHODS. Th e trainin g school of the P eru State Normal is one of the oldest training scho ols in the United States. It is or ganized and controll ed by theN ormal School. There are two years of kind ergarten work, the eight elementary grades and two years of high school work. The attend a nce is fr om 250 to 300. I n mos t gr ades there are twenty or more pupi ls. The training scho ol per forms two distinct functions : It is used as a model school for the observation of exper t teaching and as a practice school. The school is in session thru June of the summ er term. A special ungr aded room is provided for tho :first month of each summer . H er o those who ar e qualifying for second grade certificates have an opportunity t o obser ve a t y pical country school in actual oper ation. The usual car e will be taken to offer cour ses that will be helpful to beginnin g teacher s as

well as experienced rural and graded teachers. There will be primary and kindergarten hand work, primary observation and methods, intermediate observation and methods, grammar observation and methods, and play ground supervision. There will be two round t&ble conferences, rural and graded, and a course in School Administration. It will thus be seen that provision has been made for all r easonable demands. On account of the observation classes it i s found impractical to offer practice teaching in the summer school. Where necessary for graduation a few may be accommodated by making application to Dean Rouse several weeks in advance. The regular work of the training department is perhaps the least understood of any department. Juniors take :five hours of observation and methods for one semester as preparation for teaching in the training school. Seniors have full charge of a class of from 12 to :20 pupils for one forty-five-minute period daily for an entire year. Assignments cover three or four grades, thus enabling the department to locate the student-teacher where she can do the most effective work. ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL TRAINING. Every alumnus, student or friend of Peru takes a great deal of pride in the athletic history of his school. The girls, as well as the boys, share in the many victories of the "blue and

white'' and have repeatedly won the state championship in basket-ball; while the boys' teams have won the championship in baseball and have always been in the front rank in football and basket-ball. Several of Peru's athletes have gone into the different leagues after g;raduation and have more than held their own during the baseball season. Many of those who have distinguished th emselves in athletics her e did not come with gr eat r eputations or previous experience, but have come into contact with the fine spirit that pervades all of the athletic activities of the school and have been developed by its influence, and have carried this spirit into the class room and have gone out as graduates who were a cr edit to themselves and to old Peru. The student who is athletically inclined will find many advantages here. Peru has one of the best athletic fields in the country. It is situated within easy reach of the campus and has been laid out for football, baseball and t r ack, all these being given their share of attention under the super vision of competent instructors. The gymnasium is the largest college gymnasium in the state and is equipped with all of the modern apparatus. It has four dress ing rooms, with hot and cold showers, and r oomy steel lockers which are at the disposal of stude nts. The main floor, which is 80x120 feet, gives amrlle room for all of the indoor games, such as handball, basket-ball , baseball and voll ey-ball, all of which have their proper place in the physical training courses.
TllJenl]i -l llJ o
Peru Stale Normal
This year a new piece of apparatus, the :first of its kind in Nebraska, has been added to the gymnasium. This is a batting cage for the baseball candidates. Here tho se who are trying out for the baseball team can get batting practice indoors during the winter months and ¡ come out on the :field in the spring with two or three months more batting practice than was possible before. A new feature of the physical training¡ department will be a model playground in which will be found the most up-to-date playground apparatus. There is an increasing demand for teacher s who can take charge of this kind of work. A course will be offered which will cover the ground of play supervision, children's games, and also the construction and maintenance of playgrounds. There will be many courses offered in physical training, r egular classes meeting for both men and women. The women will be given the . Swedish and German gymnastics, fo lk dances, games, and the different drills. Th e m en will be given apparatus work and the indoor games, with the latter part of the afternoon period devoted to the outdoor athletics on the athletic field. It is the purpose of those in charge of this department that every student conduct the gymnasium classes or take a part in the in struction of the different athletic teams. vYith this end in view different members of the classes and t eams will be called upon to take a lead-

Under this system it is possible for a young man or a young woman to become m ore or less proficient in this kind of work befor e leaving school. GE NERAL AND SP I1JCLAT_J COURS1jJS. \Vhilo a detailed outline of various subj ects offer ed in the general courses is no t given in this bulletin, the prospective student will find th at all the subj ects are offer ed tha t are necessary to meet the r equirements f or (a) any gr a de of county certificate, (b) any grade of city certificate, (c) any grade of state cer tificate, (d ) ubj ects r equired for the degr ee Bachelor of E ducation, (e ) any class of city supervisor's ce rtificate. A statement of each of the special subj ects will he found on succeeding pages, foll owed by a brief outline of the subj ects offer ed in th o summe r school. AGRICU LTUR E .

Field work takes the place of r eading and inside laboratory work in such a way that

those registered in agriculture put in no more time than those registered for the same number of credit hours in any other subject offered in the normal. Nebraska is an ¡agricultural state; therefore, if you would be concrete an~ teach in the language of your pupils, take a practical course in agriculture. . . The general course prepares qne for the second grade examination, meets the requirement for graduation from all regulal' ,courses and prepares for entering Peru's new twoyear course in agriculture. Upon graduation this course entitles a student to a state special supervisor's certificate, good in any highschool where science and agriculture are taught. Bird study affords an out of doors cliltural elective. The methods course will appeal to those who have had general "Book" agricuJture. Peru uses the text-book and outline only as a guide to tbe study of real soil, real plants, and real animals. DOMESTIC ECONOMY. The importance of Domestic Economy as a social factor is becoming more fully recognized, and the demand for teachers with ~he proper qualifications is constantly increasing. To meet this demand the Peru State Normal School offers a special two-year course in Domestic Economy. The students who complete this course are given a supervisor's diploma in addition to tbe regular normal school diploma.'

The work in foods r..ad cookery is one of the most interesting phases of the course. One large laboratory in the Industrial Building is used exclusively for this work. The laboratory is supplied with individual desk equipment, as well as with the necessary dishes and utensils for service of meals on both domestic and institutional levels. Banquets and various school functions give tho students skill and training in the executive part of the work. The sewing courses are so practical that many sindents are glad to avail themselves of the opportunity to take them in connection with their other normal school work. The Snow Drafting System is used for cutting, the laboratory being equipped with .enough sets and sewing machines to carry out the work successfully. It is the purpose of the Domestic Economy Department to give instruction in all branches which have to do with the welfare of the home, as well as to train teachers for supenisors. Seniors aregiven an opportunity to teach sewing in the fifth and sixth grades, and cooking in seventh and ejghth grades of the Training School. COMME RCIAI.J. The department of Commerce is now located in iL¡ new quarters in the Administration building. This is doubtless one of the very best equipped departments in the school, with its fine quarter-sawed oak tables for penmanship, and typewriting desks which are dust proof.

The room s are large and well lighted. As soon as the shorthand and typewriting students are prepared with proper elementary training they are given actual practice in letter writing and correspondence by individual members of th e f acuity.

In addition to all these advantages a student has the privileges of college life, such as a splendid gymnasium, a fin e librar y for selection of books, literary societies, the oldest in the state.

KINDERGARTEN. The kindergarten department, during th e summer term, will offer courses designed especially to meet the needs of primary and rural school teach er s. The real kindergarten can never thrive outside of its own province. It is inexpedient and unpPdagogical to attempt to transplant it bodily to either of the educational :field s mentioned. However, there are certain initial phases of work and play which, if rightly expanded, fit admirably into the :first three gr ades of the ~¡e o¡ular school curriculum- add life and color to the three R s, and correlate appropriately with what is usually t ermed thoug ht studies. To this class belong the followin g-wngs, plays, dramatic and rhythmic games, and exercises suitable for the elementary grades. These will be adapted to both schoolroom and play_ ground use, and made familiar to teaclw r s by actual participation in the same. Discussions as to the purpo se and educational Yalue of play will be giYen thoughtful consideration. Hand work for the kindergarten and :first three grades, including cutting, weaving, raffia and cardboard construction, will he presen t ed in a way to lead directly to its application and p ractical use in the scboolroom. Thmout the country ther e is a growing appreciation of the importance and necessity of appealing to th e motor as well as the mental interests of children. These courses are planned with r eference to such demands.

MANUAL TRAINING. Manual Training is now considered one of the main subj ects in the curriculum of all the best high schools in the country. .An elem entary course is being pursued in a great many of the grade schools and a few of the progressi Ye teach er s of this state are putting the wo rk in to the nual schools. The demand for well trained t eachers in tbis s ubjed always excePd s the supply. Read the announcement of almost any teachers' bureau and you will find an appeal for manual training teachers and a special inducement for their registratio11. The salary . of the manual training t each er is usually from ten to twenty-five per cent in excess of the sala r y paid other teacher s in the same school. The Peru State Normal J1a s the largest and best equipp ed Manual Train ing department found in the west. Much care bas been n. ed in the selection of the tools and machin ery and everything is strictly modern. The ef}uipment includes 12 large work ben ches supplied with t ool , a band saw, a circular saw with all the grooving attachments, an emer y grind er , a morticing machine, wood lathes, forges and complete iron working tools, an iron lathe, gear cutting machine, a forced draft cupola and foundry equipment, steam and gas engines, a small dynamo, motors, etc., etc. The completion of thi s course enti.tl es one to i.l1e special Manual Training Diploma, good in any sch ool in Nebraska as a city s uperviso ~¡ 's certificate.

P UBLIC S CHOOL ART. A quarter of a century ago instruction in drawing was chiefly confined to special scho ols, particularly to young ladies' seminarie s, where, with music and fin e n eedle work, it was counted an accomplishment. Since then it has worked its way into almost every depal'tment of school work. It is now considered a simple and natural means of expr ession, one of the fundamental requisites of civilization. E \¡e ry r eal teacher, whether in primary, grammar or hi gh school work, realizes the value of being able to use drawing with ease and intelligence.
The courses in art in the Normal aim to give. this training. A special two-year course is offer ed for those who wish to become supervi sors of art. This course includes drawing, painti ng, modeling, design, handwork, principl es of public school art and history of art. Authorities on public school art do not r ecognize as specialties such beginnings of tlw arts as are appropriate to elementary school s. Grade teachers are expected to possess tl1is knowl edge and to have the power to impart it. Neith er is special talent any longer cons icler e> tl a fa ctor in learning to draw any more than in learnin g elementary mathematics or language. 'l'rainin g is essential, however, just as it is in ot her subj ects of the curriculum. Tho summer srhool courses are planned to give this training in so far as they can in a short period of time.
