GROWTH OF PERU \\'hen the first legislature of Nebraska, in ·the y ear 1867 . tahli hed the Nebraska State Normal School at Peru, it " uilrled wiser than it knew. " No better place could have bten rhosen as the site of a great normal school t h·an in t ll ·· tillage of Peru . Peru is the home of a moral cul!tured peopl e.

It ha ever been her boast that sh e d oes no t harbor saloou ~ r other haun ts of vice. Th e town sp eo ple unite wit h t lw hool authorities to make P eru Rn id eal place f M youn g It'll and young women to se r·urc an etlLlC'atio n.

T he social hfe of the students and town speop le a ll centers abo nt t h e ·boo!.

In nwa uring the growth of an education al iust iLuti011, o fnirer n01' more accurate test can be applied than tha L whi··h tak es into accou nt the " fi nish ed produ ct. " ThP fri ends of Peru, whos e numb er is leg ion, her graclu• loc·ated in e1·ery nook and corner of the st a te, and th e hou anrls of form er students vvho are in ev ery sta te in th e 'nion, rejoic·e in the groiYth a nd prestige of th e old school.

The a,·,·ompanyin g table of figures r ecently com pi led at th e re i trar' offi ce, speaks unmi stak ably of P crn 's past a•· hi ev emen! a. hown by the resulits acc omplished ; t·h e ~· sh ow t·h e PI'\' en! high stand ing of the sch ool a nd augur for great er hiPfem nts in th e fu ture.

been granted in this last five year period, the number of degrees being ten for the year 1914 alone. It should als.o be remembered that during the past ten years tlhree additional .\tate normal schools have been est•ablished and that they have all enjoyed a most healthful and vigorous growth. In fact it is doubtful whet·h er any state normal schools established in the same period have enjoyed a more substanti•a l growth than have the Nebraska State Normals.

The four state normal schools will graduate a grand total of approximately three hundred seventy-five the present year.

Let i1t not be understood, however, that Peru is satisfied with mere numbers alone. If necessary she would prefer to sacrifice numbers if by so doing it would insure the advancement of the high standards of sciholarship and ·character which :;he has fostered and sought to develop during her half century of existence. T·h e s;p lendid work now being done by her two thous·a nd alumni in every part of the s'tate testifies heyond question to the excellent c·h aracter of her "finis hed p1·odn ct". It is her grPatest amb iti on to mai ntain and t0 fu dh er s'timul ate growth in t he direction of C' haracter antl ,t·holarshi p.

THE NEW TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING 'One of the dreams of P eru's presidents for years has been that some d ay P eru should have a model training school buil,l ing.
