PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

INTRODUCTION Prospective students please note that this Animal Catalog is also the Summer School Bulletin. If a regular course i3 offered in the Summer School an explanatory note is added showing time and credit for same. There are a number of courses that are listed for Summer School only. When considering this catalog as a Summer School Bulletin It should be observed that, as a rule, faculty members remain during the summer. In addition to the regular faculty we usually employ from five to ten of the leading school men and women of Nebraska. Special emphasis is laid upon courses in both General and Special Methods. In connection with the Training School which is in session through June there is a model rural school where beginners may observe an expert teacher actually conducting a one-room country school. Graduates of this or other normal schools will be interested In the splendid courses in School Administration, Secondary Education, Educational Measurements, Educational Sociology, Adolescence, Child Study, Special Science Methods, Adminis tration and Methods of Junior High School as well as the regular academic courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts Degree. All summer school s tudents have the privilege of the Teachers' Bureau, the services of the School Nurse, and opportunity to join Band, Orchestra, Glee Clubs, and Chorus. During both the regular year and the summer school, by the payment of a small budget fe e, students are enabled to attend all the lectures, entertainments, athletic events, and to receive the Normalite, the official school paper.

PURPOSE Beyond question it is the duty of the state to educate her children. It follows that the state must then make provisions for the training of an efficient teaching force. It is the only agency competent to judge just what constitutes the best training for these teachers. In keeping with the broad and comprehensive education which Nebraska has planned for the children of the state this school trains teachers for every department Of public school work. It la our purpose to inspire young people to enter the profession of teaching with clear and definite ideas of modern educational problems. Professional

courses are planned that the prospective teacher may know the laws of mental development, the evolution of educational ideals down to this very year, and catch the inspiration that comes from an acquaintance with the great educators of the world. Even in the academic work of the school, methods of teaching the knowledge gained therein is always .in the foreground of the instructor';;; consciousness because he knows the student will teach the subject as he does.

FACULTY We invite a careful inspection of our faculty as Hated in the first pages of this bulletin. Students will observe that men and women are about equally represented. Most of them are not only college graduates but have secured at least their A. M. Degrees in their special fields. Many of these faculty members have been connected with the Institution for years but we call especial attention to the fact that these have been students and, by taking advantage of leaves Of absences, have continued their education. They are there¡ fore, live, up-to-date teachers. The remarkable thing about our faculty is the spirit of cooperation existing between students and teachers. Ask any Peruvian, and he will tell you that thi3 comradeship between teachers and pupils is evident in class room, social life, student activities; in fact, '1.lways and everywhere.

LOCATION

a.nd EQUIPMENT The Nebraska State Normal School was located in Peru in 1867. It is the oldest State Normal School west of the Missouri River. More than three thousand teachers have been graduated from the Advanced Course. The plant at Peru consists of eight large, modern, up-to-date buildings valued at half a million dollars. There are sixty acres of lovely, native forest on the campus. The T. J. Majors Training School Building is said to be the best Training School Building in the United States. With its equipment it represents an investment on the part of the state of $125,000. About half of the summer school clas3es recite in this splendid building. A Library of 30,000 well-selected books is most widely patronized by our students.

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Mt. Vernon Dormitory has been entirely remodeled and refurnished this year. Each of the fifty rooms is now equipped with brandnew furniture . The bath rooms have tile floors, marble partitions, and are well equipped with lavatories and shower baths. A dining room is maintained under private management where all those who room at the Dormitory board. About fifty students ¡ from outside the Dormitory may take advanage of the reduced boarding rates.

PRIV A 'l'E ROOMS The citizens of Peru have built within very reaso11able diatances of the campus thirty-two strictly modern rooming houses where five hundred 1>tudents may be easily accommodated. A list of all such homes approved a rooming houses will be sent upon application to tile Registrar or the Dean of Women. Students are not allowed to room except at approved houses. Oak Glen, a modern private Dormitory just across the street Mt. Vernon furnishes self-boarding facilities for twenty girls. suite has a kitchenette equipped with gas stoves and other veniences. There are many rooms in the town available for housekeeping.

LOCAL EXP}~XSES We call especial attention to the very reasonable expenses her~. There is no tuition. A matriculation fee of $5, paid when the student enters, gives him life privileges in the school. All text books needed for any semester or summer school are rented for $1. The special fee~ are shown in the following section. Furnished room and board may be obtained at Mt. Vernon Hall for $4.50 to $4.60 per week. Board alone may be obtained for $4.00 per week. Excellent board and room may be secured in private homes for $6.25 per week. Many students materially reduce their expenses by taking advantage of the light housekeeping facilities at Oak Glen and other places. Girls wishing reservations in Mt. Vernon Hall should accompany their request for same with a deposit of $2.00. Application should be made to THE REGISTRAR. Whether rooming at Mt. Vernon Hall, or elsewhere, students should bring their own bed linen, towels, comforts, pictures, etc.

STUDENT J, OAN FUND

!

There has been recently established a student loan fund from which students who find it difficult to s ecure m ean s from other sources may be accommodated by a reasonable loan. Necessarily the size of the fund means short loans a nd prompt payments. Since only a limited number can be accommodated, applications for loa n s frnm this fund s l!ould be made early to the President, or R . D. Overholt, Registrar.

CLASS OF 1918 LOAN FUND The class of 1918 left with the institution $300 to be loaned to students. The interest from this fund is to purchase gold medals to be given to the best debater, or in the absence of debating to the student whom the facu lty deem t h e best a ll-round student for the iven year.

SCIIOOL NURSE In keeping with the modern tendency to con sider carefully t he physical welfare of students Peru h as a resident nune as a regular faculty member. We have fo und this addition to our faculty most valuable. This was well demonstrated in the influen za epidemic of 1918-19. There was not a s ingle fatality among the students. This good fortune was attributable largely to the immediate and constant attention which the nune was able to give to our students. Students, women a nd men alike, feel perfectly free to call upon the nurse at any time. She is on duty until nine o'clock each ni"ht. She is always ready for emergency calls at any time.

RULES Ol' CONDUCT Young men and women who attend Per u us ua lly have a seriou s purpose in life. They are young people with high ideals of living and therefor e cond uct themse lves as gentlemen a nd ladies, without the necessity of a long list of formal rules. Peru recognizes that her prestige i> due in part to the vast numners of students in att.endance from year to year, but she is not unmindful of the fact that her greatest prestige comes through the "quality" rather than the ' .quantity" of the student body.

Peru does not extend a welcome to any young man or woman who does not hold chnr:wter ns first In the ll!i!t of qualifi.catlom of a teacher. Young people of other views wlll not feel at home in Per u nor will they be retained in the ~chool if their lives are not in harmony with the ideals for \Yhic-h PPru stancls. Peru is jealous of the good name she enjoys a:-; a result of tl•e recorcls made by the h undreds of alumni who are in every village and town in the state of Nebraska.

The <><lclition of a cement stadium to this field gives Peru without gn•· tion as good a natural athletic field as can be fou nd in the Unltecl States.

'f EACHERS' BUREAU The motto of the P eru Teachers' Bureau is "The Right Teacher in the Right Place." This Bureau is thoroly organized and has for its mission the placing of its graduatee in the most euitable positions obtainable. Every worthy student who graduates !rom Peru may be sure of the best position that his preparation will enable him to command . While there are many more calls for capable teachers than we are a ble to 1mpply, the shortage at this particular time is especially noticeable in qualified men and women to take charge of high school principalships, s uperintendencies, and consolidated school prlncipalships, and als o for young men and women for Science positions, Manual Training and Athletice, Languages, a nd teachers for Departmental sub.jec t s. T.be service of this bureau Is free to students.

EX TENSION COURSES Your attention is called t o the very adequate provisions of the Exten sion Department as outlined in the closing pa ges of this catalog. We believe in reaching as ma ny teachers in service as possible. Take advantage of thes e opportunities for professional growtb.

kindergarten training and calls for the maximum amount of teachln1 in that department. However, students specializing in this course are required to take one quarter of primary teaching.

This arrangement

will meet the demands in public schools, where the kindergarten and

primary are not strictly differentiated; also results in greater efficiency, since teachers in each department are strengthened by an ac· quairttance with both phases of work. .Junior Yenr Psychology _____________ 4 '!'Biology ----····----------4 English ________________ -4 Primary Observation and Methods --------····----4 J'indergarten Observation (14) ------------------2 Kindergarten Theory (15) 2 Manual Activities (16) __4 Kin rl erga rten-Primary Projects (17) --··-------4 Children's Literature (18) 4
