The adviser stands between the class or other organization and the F:chool.

While he does not exercise authority over the actions of the class, his relation is such that the class never thinks of taking action without the approval of the adviser.

1t is probable that no school in America has the system of advisership more thoroughly worked out nor more harmoniously administered than the Peru State Normal.

Every organization feels that it has in the adviser a sincere fr iend and counselor.

GREETING

To Nebraska Teachers and Nebraska high school students, the Peru State Normal School extends most cordial greetings. It sympathizes with the patient, faithful teac:her who gives unselfishly of her time and best energies f or the enrichment and betterment of the lives of the boys and girls in the public schools; it stands ever ready to lend encouragement, to render aid and to increase its own usefulness by helping teachers to catch a vision of their possibilities, by lifting them to higher planes of service.

Peru stands ready to increase the fields of opportunity for the young men and women who are fin ishing high school courses this year. If you are a high school student, you should consider most carefully t he selection of your life's vocation, whether it be a profession for per sonal gain or one in which the largest amount of ser vice may be ren-

10

PERU STATE SORJlrlL SCH OOL

der ed to others. In the latter, that of teaching stands preeminently at the head.

While hundreds of Nebraska's young people are preparing for this field of work, the present demand for well qualified teachers is far greater than the supply. The Peru State Normal has many more requests for young men and young women who are qualified to take responsible positions, as principalships of ward schools, high schools, village schools, and city superintendencies, than it has graduates to recommend. It is with confidence that we tell you that no higher gr ade school, no school with more ennobling influences, no school where education may be pursued at less expense, no school receiving higher recognition than Peru can be found in the west.

T HOSE MOST CORDIALLY WELCOMED TO PERU

As a rule, we find t hat those who have an ambition t o become te~chers of the young are among the finest Class of young people in the nation. Young men and young women who possess stability of character will appreciate the excellent opportunities for its higher development as afforded in Peru. Parents who are desirous of the best possible environment for their children during the formative period of young manhood and womanhood will appreciate the efforts of faculty and townspeople to maintain a school in which character stands above everything else.

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 Peru.

Hence it has never been deemed necessary to formulate any rules of conduct nor indulge in any espionage. Students conduct themselves as members of a law-abiding community, each one taking pride in the good name of the school; thus true character is fostered and developed. Students who are not in harmony with these ideals are advised not

PERU STflTE rWRlllAL SCHOOL

11

to remain in the school. Nci school community was ever more earnest, industrious, conscientious and circumspect than the hundreds of students who have been in the P eru Normal during the course of the past year.

PERU'S GROWTH AND INFLUENCE

Forty-six ¡years ago the Peru State Normal School started with two instructors and a mere handful of stu:. dents. The entire equipment consisted of one building in which the seats were home-made out of the rough cottonwood timber found in the vicinity of the state normal. It was three years before it graduated any teachers. Its first graduating class consisted of two persons, one of these Dr. George E lliott Howard, who is now the distinguished head professor of Political Science and Sociology in the University of Nebraska, and Mrs. Anna Morehead Joy, a woman who is highly esteemed and r espected, whose home is still in Peru in sight of her Alma Mater.

While the growth of the school was gr adual during t he first third of a century of its existence, the past dozen years has witnessed a growth an d prosperity far beyond the expectations of its most sanguine f r iends.

In this short period it has incr eased its enrollment f r om 600 different students during t he year to 1365, in addit ion t o supporting a model school carr ying an enrollment of n early 200 children. During t he first t hree year s of this same period the. average number of graduates was 51; the second thre~ years t he average number was 99 ; t he t hird t hree years average number 154; while during t he three year s closing with 1913 t he aver age number has been 170. The present prospects are that the three year s beginning with 1913-14 will witness the graduation, including those receiving the degree Bachelor of Education, of n early 200 annually.

During t he history of the school mor e than 26,000 different students have been enrolled.

It is not in the large numbers, however, that Peru takes t he greatest pride, but rather in the character and personnel of the student body. As evidence of the integrity and high purpose governing the teachers who attend Peru, there was not a single case of "discipline" recorded during the last summer school, notwithstanding that there were ' assembled the largest number of students in the history of the school.

PERU'S ALUL\1NI ASSOCIATION

No school of its kind in the middle west has a stronger constit uency and active alumni association than does the Peru State Normal. The organization dates its beginning back to the early seventies, and boasts of a membership list of 1908 persons who bave graduated from the advanced course of tbe school. At the last annual meeting the number of trustees was increased from two to five, and steps wer e taken to incorporate the association under the laws of the state. This action makes possible some extensive enterprises in the interest of the Normal, chief mong whi.ch is the movement already started to pr ovide for the construction of a suitable memorial building.

The old school has more than twelve hundred teachers ctively engaged in the profession, whose ear ning power is, in r ound numbers $750,000 annually. The total income of the

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

13

combined constituency each year , - i.e. the income of the teachers plus that of the doctors, the lawyers, t he farmers, the merchants, etc.-exceeds the gigantic sum of one million dollars.

Nearly all of the t~achers upon graduation are placed in very desirable positions through the operation of the Association's Bureau of Location, which is maintained practically without cost to those receiving its benefits. Each year the bureau finds that the number of qualified teachers is quite inadequate to meet the many demands made upon it.

The association has established Peru clubs throughout the state, all of which are in flourishing condition. The largest of these are the Lincoln and Omaha clubs. Every county has its full representation of Peruvians, and from every nook and corner come the loyal alumni to the annual commencement "home-coming" and the Peru "round-up" at the time of the State Teachers, Association.

The following tabulation indicates the list of trustees, together with the expiration of their terms of appointment: T. W. Blackburn, '78, Omaha, 1917; H. B. Duncanson, '86, Seattle, 1916; E. W. Marcellus, '05, Crete, 1915; J. W. Miller, '01, Omaha, 1914; R. R. McGee, '07, Syracuse, 1913.

E. W. Marcellus, '05, Crete, is president; H. H. Reiround, '06, Weeping Water, vice-president; W. N. Delzell, '94, Peru, secretary, and M. C. Lefler, '09, Peru, treasurer.

SOCI AL LIFE IN THE NORMAL

The State Normal at Peru has a distinct and pleasant ocial life. The literary societies, Christian organizations -young men and young women's-do not forget the important side of the student's life, and so plan for several social functions each, during the school year. In fact this is true to a more or less limited extent of all clubs and other student organizations.

14

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

PER U S TATE NORMA L S CHOOL

15

But it is around the Freshmen,. Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes as units that the social life really rotates.

Once a semester, each of these classes meets for a social good time; nor are picnics neglected, for the beautiful hills and shady dells of Old Peru make ideal and tempting picnic grounds.

The crowning social event, however, of a student's career at Peru is the junior-senior banquet tendered annually to the seniors by the junior class. On this occasion the large and spacious gymnasium is transformed into a bower of festive beauty where an elegant banquet is served as a parting tribute to the out-going senior class.

TEACERS' BUREAU

There is a constantly growing demand for teachers trained in the State Normal School. To meet this demand, the Alumni Association, which now numbers approximately two thousand members, maintains a teachers' bureau, whose purpose is to secure for graduates and students, without charge, suitable positions, and to aid boards of education in selecting efficient teachers. In spite of the large number who graduate each year, the association cannot supply the demands made upon the school for normaltrained teachers. Peru's graduates go into all the different public school positions of the state. Many Nebraska high school teachers, graded school teachers, high school principals, and city superintendents secured their positions directly through the Alumni Teachers, Bureau.

WHO MAY ENTER

The Peru State Normal School is maintained by the state of Nebraska primarily fo r the training of teachers.

Its curriculum and the regulations under which it is governed are shaped with that end in view. However, many

16

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

students completing a four year high school course find it to their distinct advantage to spend two years in Peru taking college work preparatory to entering the junior year in the University of Nebraska, or some other Nebraska college. By the present reciprocal relations enjoyed with the University, any student w ho graduates j?¡om a four year high school course and completes two full years work in the P eru Normal, is entitled to enter the Junior year of the University without examination , being enabled to secure the Bachelo1¡'s degree by t wo years additional work there.

EXPENSES

Inasmuch as Peru is a state school, supported wholly by funds appropriated by the State Legislature, there are N o Tuition F ees. A matriculation fee of $5.00 gives the student life privileges in th e school. Furnished room including electric light and steam heat and table board may be obtained by the young ladies at Mt. Vernon Hall, the ladies' dormitory, for $3.00 a week. Board and room in private families and private dormitories range from $3.50 to $4.50 per week. In all cases students should bring sheets, pillow cases, towels, pictures, etc.

Many of our students rent rooms that are equipped for light housekeeping, thus very materially reducing the cost of attending school.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

The laws of Nebraska require that students have at least fifteen hours high school credit or its equivalent, or a second grade county certificate in order to enter the Normal School proper. However, the 1911 Nebraska State Legislature passed a law permitting the Board of Education to establish a preparatory school in connection with the State Normal. This preparatory school is designed for mature students who have completed the work in their home dis-

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

17

trict, although t hey may not have fifteen high school credits.

All subjects necessar y fo r prepar ing the student to enter the normal school proper will be taught in t he preparatory school. In addition to this, t here is maintained a training high school. Tuition rat es the same as in any of the high schools of the state, namely: seventy-five cents a week.

COURSES OFFERED SHORT COURSES FOR THE WINTER MONTHS

Owing to the drouth conditions prevailing in the south half of Nebraska and the resulting enforced idleness of many young men and women on the farm and in the village, Peru is offering a number of special short courses to run through the winter months.

Classes in short courses wer e or ganized November 10, and will be organized again on January 26, continuing nine weeks. Plan to enter on one of t hese dates. Students will find special review work in all the county and city certificate subjects and also for the Civil Service examinations.

The following are some of the special courses : COMMERCE

The following subjects will be offered in the Commercial Department: Penmanship, Typewriting, Shorthand, Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Business Correspondence, Business Methods, Orthogr aphy, Rapid Calculation, and Accountancy. Beginning and advanced classes will be conducted in all of t hese subjects. This wor k will be under the direct supervision of Professor W. N. Delzell.

MANUAL TRAINING

The work in Manual training will include a study of the simpler tool manipulations as applied t o the general work of the farm. A few exercises will be taken t o give

orne degrees of efficiency with t ools ; af t er which articles such as hammer handles, double-trees, model gates, hay racks, hay stackers, chicken coops, etc., are made. The object of the course is to teach the student how to make things useful on the farm. The more advanced students will be able to enter the regular classes and find work suited to their needs. This -vvork will be in charge of Professor F .

C. Smith.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY

A special nine weeks' course in Cooking and Sewing will be given. This course is suitable for preparatory students and those preparing to do practical family work. The Cookery course will include a study of foods, methods of preparation and garnishing, menu making, serving and accounts. The sewing course will be practical work in drafting patterns and garment making. Six hours each week will be devoted to foods and six hours to sewing. This course will be given under the direction of Miss Myrtle Ferguson.

AGRICULTURE

These courses will include General Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Horticulture, and Soils. It will be conducted by Professor C. H . Heard.

WHO MAY ENTER

Any young man or woman of good character, who is past sixteen years of age, and has completed the equivalent of the eighth grade, may register for any of these short courses.

PRIVILEGES EXTENDED

The short term students will find the privileges equivalent in every sense to those enjoyed by the students who

Not only can they secure the best in their special line, but they can also enjoy the spirit and the atmosphere of a school teeming with opportunities which they cannot afford to miss. They may enjoy membership in the religious organizations, literary societies, departmental clubs, the use of the best educational reference library in the west, free instruction in physical training, military drill, public school music, public school art, debating, normal school orchestra and band. They may attend the lecture and entertainment courses, musical and dramatic recitals at the same small price charged students in t he regular courses.

WHEN TO ENTER FOR SHORT COURSES

Remember the dates, November 10 and JANUARY 26, as the dates when these short courses begin. Students who find it impossible to enter at these particular dates will find work suited to their needs should they enter at any other time. All credits earned will be accepted towards entrance to the more advanced courses.

Following Indicat es the R egula1¡ Courses Offer ed.: BACHELOR OF EDUCATION DEGREE

Graduates from the advanced course of the state normal schools who complete two years additional work consisting of eighty college hours, may be granted the degree Bachelor of Education. Formerly this degree was granted to graduates of the normal school who completed the college course in some other college. At a recent meeting of the Board of Education, a decisive action was taken, namely: that no degree should be granted unless the last year of the work be taken in the normal school. This was indeed a fortunate as well as a wise move on the part of the Board of Education. The degree f rom Peru will henceforth stand for work done at Peru. More alumni than ever before are

22

purs uing work towards the degree Bachelor of Ed ucation.

It is only a matter of a shor t time until ever y high school in Nebraska will require it s t eachers to have t he equivalent of t he degree Bachelor of Education. N ot only this, but many of t he larger city schools will demand the same qualifications in their -grade teacher s.
