PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL INTRODUCTION

Prospective stud ents please note that t h i > Ann ual Catalog is a ls0> the Summer School Bulletin . If a r egular course is offered in t he Summer School an explanatory note is a.dded sh owing t ime and credit fo·r same. There are a number of courses that are listed for Sumnrer School only.

When considering this catalog as a Summer School Bulletin it should be observed that, a s a ru le, faculty members remain during the summer. In addition to the regular facu lty we usually employ f rom 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 thi s orr other normal schools will be interested in the splendid courses in School Administration, Secondary E ducation, EducaUonal Measurements, Educational Sociology, Adolescence, Child Study, Special Science Methods , Administration and Methods of Junior High School as weH as the r egular academic courses leading to the Bach elor of Arts Degree.

• I

All summer school students 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 fee, students are enabled to attend all the lectures, entertainments, athletic events, and to receive the Normalite, the official school paper . .rot:,"'.'-·'

PURPOSE Beyond question it is the duty of the state to educate h er children.

It follows that the state must then make provisions for the traini"Qg 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 tlle children of the stlilte this school trains. t eachers for every department of public school work. It is our purpose to' inspire young people to enter the profession of teaching with clear and definate ideas of modern educational problems.

Professional courses are planned that the prospective teacller may know the laws of mental development, the evolution of educational ideals1 down to this very year, and catch the inspir'ation that comes from an acquaintance with the great educators of the world. Even in the ac-

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

ademic work of the school, methods of teaching the lmowledge gained therein is always in the fo'!'egro und of the instructor's, consciousness because he knows the student will teach the subject as he does.

FACULT Y We invite a careful inspection of our faculty as listed 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 h ave secured at least their A. M. Degrees in their special fields. Many of these faculty members have been connected witih the institut ion for years but we call special attention to the fact that thes,e have been students and, by taking :-idvantage of leaves of absences, have continued their education. They are therefore, live, up-to-d'atei t eachers. The remarkable thing about our faculty is the spirit. of cooperation existing between students and teachers. Ask any Peruvian, and h e will tell you that this com111deship between teachers anrl p11pih is evident in class room, social life, student activities; in fact, alwa~¡s and everywh ere.

Ll>CATION a nd EQUIPME JT 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 a t half a million dollars. There are sixty acres of lovely, native fol"est on the campus.

The T. J. Majors Training School Building is s'a id 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 classes recite in this splendid building.

A Library of 33,000 well-se1ected books' is most widely patronized by our students.

A splendid brick paved road extends from the south entrance of the Normal School campus to t he Burlington depot, one mile north.

DORMITO RY ed

~t. Vernon Dormitor y has been entir ely r emodeled and r efurnishtlns year. Each of t he fif ty r ooms is now equipped with brand-

STUDENT LOAN FUND n }'_ii,-.,..

There has been recently established a s tudent. .loan- fund from which students who find it difficult to secure means from other sources may be accommodated by a r easonable loan. Necessarily the size of the fund means short loans and prompt payments. Since only a limited number can be accommodated, applications for loans from this fund sh ould be made early to the President, or R. D. Overholt, Registrar. ·-----~ - - . , . ----,-_.- .•.,.c;J'~ -.--~•,~ .... .... ,_.

-

~

In keeping with the modern tendency to consider carefully th physical welfare of students Peru has a resident nurse as a regul faculty member. We have found this addition t o our faculty mos valuable. This was well demonstrated in the influenza epide • of 1918-19. There was not a single fatality among the students This good fortune was attributed largely to the immediate and con stant attention which the nurse was able to give to our studen

Students, women and men alike, feel perfectly free to call upo the nurse at any time. She is on duty until nine o'clock each nigh She is always ready for emergency calls at any time.

RULES OF CONDUCT Young men and wom en who attend P eru usually have purpose in life. They are young people with high ideals and therefore conduct themselves as gentlemen and ladies, witho the necessity of a long list of formal rules. Peru recognizes th her prestige is due in part to · the vast numbers of students in tendance from year to year, but she· is not unmindful of the fact th her greatest prestige comes through the "quality" r ather t han "quantity" of the student body.

P eru does not extend a welcome to any young man or woman w does not hold character as fi rst in the list of qualifications of a teach

PERU STATE NORMAL SCHOO L

Young peo ple of other views will n ot feel at home in P eru n or will they be r etained in the school if their lives are not in harmony with the ideals for which Pen1 stands. Peru is j ealous of the good name she enjoys as a result of t h e records made by the hundreds of alumni who are in every village and town in th e state of Nebraska. She want s it t o be constantly said that earnest and serious work charact erizes the P eru student. Student s who fail in half or more than half of their work will be asked to with draw. While no, boast is made by P eru of its fo rmal adoption of so-called "self-government" as a matt er of fact P eru students are practicall y self-g overned in the matter of discip line and control.

SOCIAL LIFE IN PERU P eru, being classed among the smaller t owns of the state, does not have any interest s t h a t overshadow those of th e normal sch ool ; hense all social a ctivit ies ar e dominated b y t h e school. The village council and th e citiz ens of the town a 11e ever ea ger to cooperate with school aut horities t o make Peru an ideal place for a great sch ool ; a place wher e parents may fe el safe to send their chil dren to oe educat ed.

The social and spiritual life of t h e students fi nds expr ession t hrough the various student org ani za t ions, inclu ding the Young Men 's Chr istian Association, the Young Women's Chr ist ian Association, the Normal Catholic Associat ion, the E piscop al Guild, Girls' Club, class organizat ions, Philomathean LiteI'ary Society, club picnics in t he woods, lecture and entertainm ent courses wh ich include the b est musical and lecture talent on the American platforms, great choruses, glee clubs, band and or chestr a, and t he great annual May F 'e stival.

Th en there are t h e at hlet ic contest s, the inter-normal school debates, dramatic club plays, science club seminars, fr ee motion pictures of aest h etic and education value given fo r tnightly in the normal school chapel, all o( wh ich t end t o stimulate the fur ther growth and developm ent of true culture. Facilities for encourageme_nt of entertainment of a high class an d t h e pr omotioU'IJ of a th '.etics are found in P eru in its splendid auditorium capable of seatmg fifteen hundred people, its gr eat gymnasium over ninety feet square, and it s athletic fi e1d which is a natural amphith eat er , the sloping bank s on each side being covered with native forests . The ~¡ddition of a ¡cement stadium to this field gives Per u without qu es~~n as good a natural athletic field as can be found in the United ~tes. A conscious effort is const antly made to instill that culture :n r efinement which in dicates in an individual his acceptance and a PPropriation of the best of social inheritance and a careful observnce of the true proprieties.

TRAINING FOR TEACHERS Mr. Greene and Training School Faculty, See Pa ge 6.

The Training School There are three general plans for providing teaching in normal schQol courses. One is to affiliate with public schools; the teaching is then a part of the regular city .s¡chool und er j oint direction of the training department and the school authorities. A second plan is to have, as training school, a part of th e public system, hous ed, equipped and taught by the normal school; the district then pays a certain fee for the education thus provided to its ch ildren. The third plan is to have the training school organized as part of the normal school itself, thus giving direct and full control to the normal. The Peru Training School is of this thiricl type.
