The system of class advisers was organized in response t• demands coming from the various classes, literary societie1 and Qther organizations of the school. The adVliser stands between the class or other organization and the school. Whil e lte does not exercise authority over t he actions of the clas•, &is relation is such that the dass n ever thinks of taking action without the approval of the adviser. It is pr.obable that no school in Amel'lica 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 friend and counselor.

PERU STATE NORMA L SCHOOL

The Nebraska State N ormal Schools PURPOSE The greatest single need in child life is education. To meet the complexity of the twentieth century life increasingly demands more expert teaching, and this in turn requires more and better trained teachers.

The public school is the one agency of society dedicated solely to the conscious application of its entire effort to the one aim of education. The Normal Schools of the United States are the only agencies of society dedicated solely to the one purpose of preparing teachers who shall take charge of society's other formal educational agency, the public school.

This explains the purpose of the normal school, namely: The training of teachers for efficient service in all phases of public school work.

The Nebraska State Normal Schools are striving most earnestly to perform their true functions .

The trained teacher is rapidly displacing the untrained teacher. This will be increasingly true as boards of education become more thoroughly appreciative of the superiority of n ative ability plus tnaining and scholarship, as compared with native ability alone. Practically all progressive city school& are already demanding that teachers have professional train¡ ing. Likewise, many rural schools are making similar requirements.

Modern tendencies toward "division of labor" are mak ing it necessary that certain school subjects be supervised hy teachers who have r eceived special training for that particular field of work. The normal schools being in such close touch with the public schools are most sensitive to the needs of these schools; hence their effort to meet public school demands by f urnishing special supervisors to fill this class of positions.

Thus the normal schools, in addition to pr eparing teachers for all public school positions, with special reference to the acad¡ ernie subjects to be taught, ar e endeavoring as rapidly as is

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

consistent with the means at hand, to prepare normal training teachers, supervisors for kindergarten, home economics, public school art, public school music, manual training, and business and commerce.

Prospective students should consult the catalogs of the normal schools in which they are most interested for the particular courses in which they wish to specialize.

D!IRECTION AND CONTROL The statutes provide that: ''All of the state normal school& ahall be under th e direction and control ,o f a board of education consisting of seven members, five of whom shall be appointed by the governor for a term of five years each, and the state treasurer and the state superintendent of public instruetion shall, by virtue of their office, be members of the board.

All vacancies occuring in the board shall be filled by appointment by the governor.''

HOW SUPPORTED The statutes provide that : " There shall be levied by the atate board of equalization ~n the ye ar 1913 and annually thereafter, a tax of eighty-five hundredths of one mill upon the dollar valuation of the gr and assessment r oll of t he state.' ¡ Again, the statutes provide: "All the lands r emaining unsold of the twenty sections heretofor e appr opriated as an endowment fund for the state normal schools, and all the endow. ment fund hitherto derived from the sale of such lands, shall be, and the same hereby is, confirmed as such endowment to be forever used for this purpose.

HISTORY The state of Nebraska early recognized the need for trained teachers, and as a result the first legislature in 1867 established the Peru State NormaL For nearly forty years, this was the only normal school in the state.

Professional training having been thoroughly established as an economic and educational necessity, the Kearney State Normal was established in 1905, and more recently the Wayne State Norma: and the Chadron State NormaL There is little doubt that the normal schools are more nearly the ''schools of the people'' than any other educational agency organized by the &tat~-~.

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Ther e ar e no other schools, either private or public, in whick the expenses of attendan ce ar e so low. Ther e ar e no other sch ools whose finished product returns to th e people directly a gr eater proportion of t he ben efits derived from education.

Practically ever y child in Nebrask a is directly or indirectly affected thr ough t he teacher s who r eceive t heir t r aining in the state normal schools.

TUITION FREE One great factor t hat has contributed toward the growth and popularity of the normal schools is that tuition is free. It is t he policy of the state board of education to make the normal schools in fact what they are in t heory, "FREE SCHOOLS FOR THE TRAINING OF TEACHERS.'' For this purpose th e only fee requierd is a matriculation fee of $5 .00, which is paid by t he student but once, and which entitles him to the rrivileges of !he normal school for life. Every dollar of this matriculation fee is invested in library books to which the Rtudent has free aecess. Thus he receives in r eturn a direct benefit from this fee .

TEXTBOOKS RENTED P.y t he payment of one dollar per semester and the summer scho.Jl term, t he student is given the free use of all the textbooks nPcessary for the pursuance of any course offered in the normal schools.

WHEN TO ENTER ProspectiYe students should note the calendar given on p age 4 anrl make th eir plans to enter on the first day of the semester or summer school. If a student is unable to enter at this time, he should arrange to enter at the beginning of a quarter. It has been a matter of common observance that students who make a practice of entering a few days late are usually those who exhibit poorer work while they are in school.

Not only is the student himself inconvenienced and placed at a disadvantage by entering at irregular times, but the inconvenience extends t o his fellow classmates, to the faculty members and the office force of the normal.

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Students in the state normal schools are classified a.s, Preparatory, Secondary and Collegiate.

Preparatory students are of two classes : (a) Those who are doing ninth and tenth grade work in the model high school. These students ar e required to pay 11. tuition fee of seventy-five cents a week. (This fee is paid by the district from which the student enters, if application is made for -free high school tuition in the same manner that it would be if the student were to attend any other high school ). (b) Mature students who have completed the work in their own school are admitted, by a special provision of the Nebraska statutes, into the normal schools as Special Preparatories. These students must be at least sixteen years of age and must be regularly matriculated.

Secondary students include all who are doing work of & rank corresponding to the eleventh and twelfth grades in the public high schools of the state. The state laws provide t hat a. student may enter the normal school either upon completion of two years ,of high school work or upon receiving a second grade county certificate. (Entrance on t his basis admits to the Freshman class of t he normal school.)

Collegiate students include all t hose who have completed the equivalent of thirty credit points of secondary school work.

This is the equivalent of completion of a four year high school course. It also includes all students who are doing work leading to the. Degree Bachelor of Education.

RULES OF ADMISSION A candidate for admission to the freshman class of thr. normal school proper must present fifteen credits representing the equivalent of two full years of high school work, or he may be admitted upon the presentation of a second grade county certificate. The state normal maintains a training high school in which regular high school subjects are taught, and students admitted to either the ninth or tenth grades.

Applications for admission should be sent in early in order to insure admission to the training high school, as only a lim¡ited number can be accommodated.

12

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

ENTRANCE TO TRAINER 'S COURSE (Completion of this course requires scholarship equivalent to a four year high school course.)

The trainer's course, which is in reality a course for rural teachers, requires that the candidate present a minimum o1 twenty-two credit points, which is the equivalent of three years work beyond the eighth grade. This course may be completed in one year. (Absolute minimum of twenty-four weeks. ) Graduates from this course receive the elementary state certificate which is good for a period of three years io. the state of Nebraska.

ENTRANCE TO ADVANCED COURSES (Graduation equivalent to two years above a twelfth grade high school course.)

The candidate for admission to the Junior year of any college group of studies must present thirty credit points rep· resenting four years high school work. This requirement for entering studies of collegiate rank is the same as the require· ments for admission to the freshman year at the University of Nebraska in the College of Sciences, Literature and the Arts. The following subjects are absolute requirements for entrance: *Algebra (through logarithms), 1% years, 5 hours a week. ............... 3 Rhetoric and Literature, 2 years, 5 hours a week .............................. 4 Geometry (plane), 1 year, 5 hours a week.............................................. 2 History (European), 1 year, 5 hours a week. ....................................... 2 Language (at least two years of one), 2 years, 5 hours a week...... 4 Optional subjects--15 points in addition to the above required subjects.

The following is the standard course of study for the regular advanced course. Completion of this course will en· title the student to the first grade state certificate and also to the city state certificate, providing, that in the selection of electives the special requirements for city certificates are met.

The different normal schools reserve the right to re-·arrange by semesters the required subjects in order to suit local con· venience. The required work, however, is identical in the four normal schools. Each normal school also provides a course of study such as is found in the eleventh and twelfth gradeil

of the standard high schools of the state, for those who ent ~r the freshman year. This course must be taken by all studeut,; who enter as freshmen, unless permitted by the president of the school to make substitutes therefor.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS All candidates for graduation from any of the advanced courses in the selection of e l ectiv~s, shall be required to take at least five hours in English and ten hours in each of two other subjects. They will also be required to take the follow ing drill subjects: Public School Music, 2 hours ; Physical Training, 2 hours; and Drawing, 1 hour. The different normal schools may increase the credits for drill subjects at t heir di:-; creti1on. They must also have all the gr ades required fo r a first grade county certificate.

CREDIT FOR ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT

Equivalents-Th e following system of time credits was adopted by the state board of education in order that teachers of successful experience who have pursued lines of study while teaching, or wh o have taken work in absentia or in nonaccredited schools, might receive due credit for the time required to complete such studies. The rigid requirement of a minimum grade of 80 per cent, under the uniform state examination, will prevent the unworthy from receiving benefit f rom this ruLing.

Work in non-accredited schools-Students who have studied in non-accredited institutions, and afterwards pass ·a cr e::!itable examination in secondary subjects under the uniform state examination, shall be given cr edit for four weeks at-

14

PERU STA TE NORMAL SCHOOL

tendance for each cr edit point earned . In su ch subj ects as are not included in uniform examination, the examination may be given by heads of departments gr anting accreditment. A credit point is defin ed as one full study carried f or one semester five periods each week. No credit shall be given for time ou subj ects taken by examination if credit is alreapy given for it in an accredited school.

In l(lll subjects taken under uniform examinations or given by heads of departments to test work taken in non-accredited scho ols, 80 p er cent sh all be the minimum gra de on which credit will be allowed.

In absentia-Students taking work in absentia under the regular instructors of the school shall be given four weeks attendance for each credit point earned .

For Teaching Experience-For teaching experience two weeks time credit may be given for each year of successful experience in teaching or in supervisory work, provided that in no instance shall more than sixteen weeks' credit on attendance be given for such experience. The r egular nine months' term shall be considered as the standard, but eight months may be considered as one year in case the applicant for time accreditment has taught in schools providing for less than nine months in each year.

OTHER COURSES OFFERED There are many special cour ses of study offered in the state normal school. among them special supervisory courm which not only lead to the first grade st ate certificate, but also to the special supervisor's diploma. Some of these cour;;cs are: Commerce, IIome Economics, Kindergarten, Manuol '!'raining, Oral Expression, Agriculture, Public School Art, Public School 1Vl usic. These courses are not all offered in all of the statP normal schools. It is suggested that the student read the catalogs of th~ school which he prefers to attend, in order that he may a~. quaint httnself with the courses offered in that school.

SUMMER SCHOOL The state normal summer schools have becume the great¡ eet training agency in t.be state of Nebraska for the improve-

ment of teachers i11 service. I n many r esp ect s the sumrr..e r school is th e mo~t ;mportant eight weeks of th e whole .v ear .

Many teachers wh o rannot spen d a full year in the n ol' mal at one time, find in the summer t erm an oppor tunity fo r advancement durin g a time th at their own schools ar e n ot in e sion. .M.anv t eachers earn each summer two points crecliL on the regula-r courses leading to the profession al life certificate: others come to r eview the common branches preparatory to takin g th e st ate ex¡aminations for some grade of county P.e1¡tificate; some t ake advantage of the many special course~ offered in the normal school which lead to the supervisor's certificates ; while many high school teachers, principals, and uperintendents come to take courses leading to the degree Bachelor of Education.

In arranging the su mmer achool chedules, special at tention has been given to the requirements of the new law on city certificates. This accounts for the increasingly large number of city teachers who attend the state normal summer school.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL (The following ar ticle is designed to set forth the fundamental processes and practices of the training school.)

The training school is the "educational clinic" in --the teachers' profession. Among the 1aymen and even among school pebple, ther e is only a vague id ea as to the organization and function of a training school.

There are three general plans for providing teaching 1r,normal school courses. One is to affiliate the normal school with a pub~ic school. The teaching is then a part of the regular city school under joint direction of the training de partment and the school authorities. Th e second is to have the training school a part of the public school system, but housed and equipped by the normal school, the district paying a certain fee for the education thus provided its children.

The third plan is to have the training school organized as a part of th e nor mal school itself, thus giving direct and full control of it. The Nebraska state normal schools are of the latter type.

The training school serves two distinct purposes in th e general plan of professional training. It furnishes for illus trative teaching pupils with wh om t he special teach ers in thi'i

16

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

line are in direct touch and who lend t hemselves easily to the methods used in the mustrative teaching. In the second place it gives opportunity for students to do actual teaching under exp ert guidance. It is here that the student learns to apply his psychology and principles of t eaching. It is the experience of every public school supervisor and principal that mere l; now ledge even of the professional subjects ~s of little prac. tical valu e to the beginning teacher. She has no one to gi ve clos1 gu iil an ce anr1 . 'lOOn losing her self in the maze {)f details, she he gir.s to !"ollow her t ext as blindly as though she had no knowledge of ps?r,]JOlogy or principles of teaching.

Entr ance to il n\¡ >tanclard normal course now requires the completion of a fo ur-year high school. In the first year, five hours each of psychology, history of education and principles of t eaching and special methods are required. This latter course is offered h y the training department and is a prerertuisite for t ca ehiug. Its primary purpose i~ to fit tbt~ student for his training school experience. The first quarter is given over almost exclusively to illustrative teaching. Training school classes are u sed and the lessons are the regular lessons f or the day . This gives an opportunity to study in a con cr ete way the problems of t he t eaching act. Following t he illust rative lessons in any line of work, lesson planning with its study of subj ect matter , methods and their relationship to the child is r equir ed. This pr epares the student for one of the most difficult ph ases of his t eaching. The second quarter of the course is planned to extend the knowledge of the basal principles and methods of presenting subject matter gained in the first quarter. This is done by a study of boolrs and magazines emphasizing teaching, as well as by lectures and class discussions.

Teaching In the second year of the course, one-fourth of the student 's time is given to teaching in the training school. The kindergarten students do all their teaching in that department. The other students are giyen an opportunity to teach at Mast three different subjects and in two departments. An opportunity ia given for students to specialize in a particular department by making their major assignments there.

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

17

As she begins her work, the student teacher is given a general notion of what is wanted in a lesson to make it conform to the r equirements of the cour se of study. The details of the subject matter ar e left largely to t he student. She prepares a plan covering a given unit of work. This includes subject matter, methods, illustrative material, and plans for drill. The plan is then carefully inspected by the training teacher. Corrections are made and a conference is held with the student teacher in order to help her adapt her plan to its purpose. When ever the plan fits into the general scheme of the course of study and whenever the methods conform to the general doctrines of methodology, it is approved. By the close of the year, it is not uncommon to find plans acceptefl in their entirety.

In the teaching act the student teacher is given a class oJ from ten to twenty pupils. She has full charge of them for forty minutes, except in the primary grades, where -often two classes recite in forty minutes. In the grammar grades a part of the time is a study period. This gives the teacher an opportunity to test her own power to assign lessons and to require the preparation of the same. After the teaching, a large part of which is done in the presence of the training teacher, conferences are held in which the whole process of the teaching act is taken up in detail. Strong points are noted, weaknesses are pointed out. anfl the student teacher given definite instru ction as to how best to strengthen herself.

The Student Teacher and the Training School Th eory and practice in modern education agree that the most potent factor in all the school is the teacher, and that a keen sense of her opportunities and responsibilities is a prime essentiml to any success sh e may achieve. Just so it is with the senior in the training school. Sh e is a REAL t eacher in a REAL scho ol. Her boys and girl s are th e young folks of a REAL community ; and any failur e to bring every available influence and means to their fullest effici ency in hehalf of he1¡ pupils ,is to miss h er highest priYilege and duty.

Truly fortunate is the seni or, who. looking forward to her own place as TEA CHER in t he training sch o-o l, strives in :tll hel¡ own tra in ing and preparation to school herself in the

simple fundamentals of se lf-reliance and independent action, the possessiun of wl1 ich assures the spirit of confidence that shifts no respon:>ihility to another, seeks no help in doing whet she ha s learned to do for herself, and feels no hesitancy in appropriating the benefits that ar e hers.

Student t eacher s manifest the same p er sonal interest that the public school teachers to do in the intellectual or moral im· provemeut of their pupils.

The Training Teacher The training teacher 's relat ion to the school and the stu. dent teacher is the same as that of the principal to his teachers in the <·ity school. It is her func tiou to deterrnin1) the subject matter to be taught and t he methods to be used. In the detail of subject matter and of presentation, t he student teacher is 6-iven th e same liberty that she w:ll have in th<· pu1lic schooL Hr·r.;p<•n E'ibility n ~ ; t. only for th• • teaching. bnl. for the m an agern,~nt. :md disci~jJine r ests rmi irely with thr student t each er.

GENERAL INFORMATION LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT The Peru State Normal was established in the village of Peru by the first Nebraska state legislature in the year 1867.

Peru is the home of a moral, cultured people. It has ever been her boast that no saloons or other haunts of vice are found in Peru. The townspeople unite with the school author¡ ities to make P eru an ideal place for young men and young women to secure an education . The social life centers about the school.

In all the Mississippi Valley no more beautiful place could have been chosen for th e home of a great school. The beauty and strength of its rugged hills, its magnificent campus covered with giant oaks, elms, hickories and linden trees, the surrounding territory that is acknowledged to be the most productive fruit section in Nebraska, and all this overlooking the valley of the great Missouri 11iver , combine to attract hundreds of students every year to Peru. Th e school takes pride not only in the¡ large numb ers attending and completing its courses (so many that th ere is scarcely a village in the state that does not have a number of P eruvians ), not only in the material success uniformly attained by its students, but more in the fRet that it stamps its character and individuality upon its students as few other schools in th e nation are able to do .

THE PERU SUMMER SCHOOL 'l'his catalog takes th e place of the usual summer school bulletin. By exa mination of the outline of courses the prospective stud en t will n ote that practically all the subjects listed for the r egular year will be offered in the summer school. And in addition to t his a lar ge numb er of special ~ onrses not found in th e curriculum of t he regular year. Some 11f th e special f eatures offered th is summer are: An opportunity to pursue work under specialists in any line selected.

A summer scho ol in which all the r egular faculty members are retained , and this force augmented by a number of outside specialists.

in private famili es and priva te dormitori es r ange from $3.50 to $4.50 per week , d epending upon the accommoda tions. Students should in all cas es bring sh eets, pillow cases, towels, et c.

Many students r ent rooms t hat are equipped for light house · keeping, thus very materially r educing the cost of attending school. The f act tha t t h e P eru Stat e Norm al is r eceiving in· creasingly large numb er s of students is p r obably due in part. to the very low expense th at a student is r equired to meet .

Many young men and women find opp ortunity to earn all or a part of their exp enses while attending school her e. Girls desiring rooms in Mt . Vernon H all, either f or the summer chool or for n ext fall shoul d send r equest at once, together with deposit of $2.00, to th e r egistrar. In case the ro oms are all engaged wh en the mon ey is r eceive d, it will be returned to the sender. Former studen ts will be pleased to know that the installation of a municip al wat er plant by the city of P eru has meant a very lar ge incr ease in th e numb er of mod ern homes, thus affordin g infinitely better accommod ations than in former years.

FACULTY In the selection of f aculty memb er s, it has long been the policy of the school t o select only men and women of character and high ideals, men and women of high sch olar ship, an d t hose who are in full symp athy with n ormal sch ool meth ods and public schccl nre ds. As a result of t his policy, the men and women constituting t h e faculty are an inspiration to th e hlmdreds of st udrnts who annually come to P er u.

TEACHERS ' BUREAU Peru has a department, under thorough organization, that looks after placing its graduates and students in the most suit¡ able positions obtainable. Its motto is "The r ight teacher in the right place.'' Every worthy young man and woman who graduates from Peru may be sure of the best position that his preparation will enable him to command. While we have never had enough teachers to supply the demands, the short¡ age is especially noticeable in qualified men to take charge of high school positions, principalships, and similar position8.

The expenses of this bureau are largely met by the Alumni Asso ciation, so that its service is free to students.

GOOD HEALTH Peru has been practically free from all forms of contagiou1 diseases for many years.

To a strict adherence to high standards of sanitation is probably due the fact that not a ~ingle case of typhoid fever, having its origin here, has bee11 kn own in Peru during the past twenty years.

RULES OF CONDUCT Young men and women who possess stability of character will appreciate the excellent opportunities for its higher development as afforded in Peru . Parents desirous of the best possible env-ironment for their children during the formative period of young manhood and womanhood, will appreciate the efforts of faculty and townspeople to maintain a school ir which character stands above everything else.

In keepin~s with this ideal, only young men and women of character art invited to come to Peru.

Students conduct themselves a1 members of a law-abiding community and each one takes pridP in the good name of the school; thus true character is fostered and developed. Students who are not in harmony with thesr. ideals are advised not to remain in the school. Students who fail in half their work thereby forfeit membership. No school community was ever more earnest, industrious, conscientiou& and circumspect than the hundreds of students who have been

in th e Peru Normal during t h e cou rse of the year just closing. 'l'he faculty find in t his a gr eat sou rce of gratifi cation . The school cannot afford to send youn g men an d women out in t o the public schools of t he st at e if they ar e lackin g in ability, scholarship or char act er .

Equipment In material equipment, Peru is especially f ortunate. There are in all eight large buildings, devoted to educational PU "poses. In addition to these is an observatory and a fine, steei frame greenhouse. The library contains approximately 27,000 volumes of reference and textbooks. It has recently been enlarged by an additional story and contains in addition to the regular library equipment, an ar t room, and an expression hall, and recitation rooms for the departments of Geography, German and Adv'a nced English. The chapel building contains one of the best assembly halls owned by t he state of Nebraska.

The decorations, including fine new curtains, give it a superior and artistic equipment. Its seating capacity is approxirn.ately 1500. Its basement contains a lar ge gymnasium where the most modern gymnasium apparatus and equipment are found .

The building also contains a number of rooms t hat are devoted to vocal and instrumental music, as well as the Young Men's Christian Association and the Young \ÂĽomen's Christian Ar<sociation rest rooms. Science hall contains the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Agriculture. The old main building is now used almost exclusively as a model school, which includes grades f rom the kindergarten to the tenth. grade in high school, inclusive. The old agricultural hall is now used exclusively fo r manual training purposes. The industrial building in which is located the electric light plant and the heating plant, contains also the department of Home Economics, and one r oom deYoted to elementary courses in manual training. Mt. Vernon Hall. th e ladies' dormitory. accommodates approximately one hundred girls. Th e n ew administration building is doubtless th e best building on th e campus. It is modern in every detail. It is finished in oak throughout. All halls and corridors hav e terrazo floors an d marble wainscoting. It is fire proof. It contains in addition to the administratiYe offices , the departments of Mat hematics History and Economics, Latin, Elementary English and th~ department of Psychology and Physiology.

PHYSICAL TRAINING-MEN The following courses are designed especially to prepare one f or teaching similar work in high and grade schools. The pedagogical principles of gymnasium work are followed out and carefully explained wit h r efer ence to the teaching of gym. nastics, games ~and athletics in schools wher e apparatus and room are limited as well as in t hose that have a well equipped gymnasium. Although the primary object of these course1 is not to teach "stunts" it is a very valuable asset to the teacher of high school physical training courses if he excels in some branch of sport or gymnasium work, and every en· couragement is given the student who desires to develop some line in which he is proficient. No effort is spared to make the following courses interesting and attractive as well as in structive and physically beneficial.

1. Physical Training.-Oalisthenics, drills, games, introductory work on heavy apparatus. Each day's work is based on the Swedish system of gymnastics and is adapted to the needs of the class. Especial emphasis on discipline and correct bearing. The student must provide himself with the regulation gymnasium suit, consisting of gray sleeveless jersey, gray trousers, white belt, and white tennis shoes. This course, or its equivalent, is required before the student will be allowed
