The chief purpose of the institution i s educating and training· teachers f er the public sch ools. Youn g p eople who have not f ully d e~ided on a life vocation m ay complete t he academic work generally accepted for the fr eshm en and sophomore years of any liberal ar t s college. The Bachelor c·f ATts degree can only be co nferred on those wh o have complet ed the four year course, which includes the r equired professional preparation fo r teaching.

The institution is organized to include every ph ase of public school work whether r ural or graded-th e un graded one-r oom scho ol, th e ki nd ergarte n, the elementary graded sch oo.J, th e junio r high, t he senior demonstration hi g h school, and the teachers college. Each unit presents a real sch ool situation with the education o·f th e child and th e tr aining of the teacher as primary and coordinate obj ects.

HISTORY In the same year that N ebraska became a state, its legislatur e· provi ded for the establis hment of a ·training scho·ol for t eachers at f'.eru. It was the firs t stat e normal school west of the Mississippi river. For over fifty yea r s, it ha s made an enviab le r ecord of achievement in ed ucatic,n al affairs . Its f aculty h as ever been noted for professional and progressive ideals and its students and graduates have done mu ch to shape the educational developm en t not al one of Nebraska but of th e enti re na tion.

F or thirty-eight y ears, P eru was the only school of its kind in Neb~·aska. As the resources of th e state were developed an d all its terntory became settled the legislatur e found it wise to carry the· ~hork of teacher traini ng t o other par t s of t he state. It authorized e Boar? of Education havin g char ge o·f th e P eru school. to establ ish another rn 1905 and the board located it at Kearn ey . W ithin a fe w ~ears, the legislature prov ided for two additional sch o-ol s and the· C~ard of Education establish ed one at W ayne a nd t he other a t a ~dron. . Each o~ th e four schools is developing along th e ame lines ar p each IS Workrng out th e Sa m e ideals that have g ui d cl the work eru for th e past fi f t y-five yea r s.

LOCATION on rheru is an id eal location fo r a great sch ool. A resi dent city of" \vi~h ousand J? eople, it h as all t he conveniE:nces of m odern ci ty life, Workout Jhe t hrngs wh ich t end to des tr oy the student's inter est in his ing · emaha co unty is in th e center of N ebra ska's r i ch es t farmand frui t ra ising section, where dro uth a nd crop failure are·

unknown. The wide Misso uri valley, the bluffs beyond' the r iver llncl the for est cov&ed hills around P eru, all combine to form a ~o pleasing landscape as well as to furni sh a wonderful opportunity f~ field work in geography and related sciences. l' Two lines of the Bur~ington railroad pass thr ough Peru, the one from Lincoln t o Falls City and the other from Nebra ska City ¡to Beatrice, supplying excellent passenger service from all parts of the state reached by th e Burlington syst em. The Missouri Pacific reaches P eru through Burlington conn ections at Auburn and Nebraska City. Motor bus service is sprea ding over southeastern Nebraska an d it is expected that P eru will soon be linked up with practi-callly every city and town in this section of the state.

P eru itself is a small city of beautiful and well kept homes. Ita main street is paved from the railroad depot through th e college cam. pus. Many of its r esidences were designed to include home-making for students. These buildings are fully modern, with heat, light, city water and bath, and are inspect ed and approved before students are referred' to them. Many families rent or buy homes and move to P eru while educating their children. Th e wholesome moral and religious life of the community is manifest in its well attended .chu rches and various Christian organizations which furn ish opportunity for worship and service to people of every denomination. Real estate and living expenses in general are lower than in larger places.

BUILD! GS The training school is the center of all special preparation for teaching and it is certainly fitting that it sh ould occupy t he T. J. Majo rs Building, the finest on the campus, and in fact among the best of its kind in th e entire country. It is well equipped in every way to serve as n model structure for any wef! graded school system of a Nebraska county seat town.

•

The Library building is modern and complete in every way. It contains 33,000 books and a very complete file of the best magazines .and periodicals published'. Its reference department is among the best in quantity and quality. In its juvenile department is foun d almos\ .every w orthwhile book for children, and its library collection is very ext ensive and complete. Th e library is w ell adapted to the needs of the school and' at t he same time it serv es as a model for a well selected city li brary.

The executive offices are located in a three story struc ture, known .as the Administration building. The president, th e Dean of Men, the Dean of Wom en and the Registrar are located on th e main f loo!• and the other floors are given over to class and lectur e room s. This building is centrally located and r eadily accessibl e from all paTts of the campus.

Science H all h as two stories, the first of which is devoted t o 'biological sciences and the second to physical sciences. Each department is well eq uipp ed w it h lecture rooms and laboratories together with all necessary apparatus . It is hoped that the present

The gymnasium, known heretofore as the chapel, is a fine brick ·icting and when completly transformed from chapel purposes, b~Jl contain everything necessary for physical training. The swimwi·ng pool showers, and locker rooms occupy the basement and the· m~in part serves as athletic floor and bleachers, with a running. ark to take the place of the balcony. When completed, it will s~pply Peru with a gymnaisum on a par with the gymnasium in the· schools at ,Chadron, Wayne, and Kearney.

r

The new auditorium occupies the site of the annex to the original college building. It is fireproof and durable in every way. It pro· vides for all public gatherings connected with the institutions, havinga seating capacity of twelve hundred. Its acoustic properties and stage facilities are satisfactory in every particular.

Mount Vernon Hall has rooming facilities for one hundred girls and a dining room sufficient for one hundred fifty students. A housemother makes a real home for the girls and a skilled chef provides an excellent me nu for those who take their meals here. The purpose· of th e school is to furni sh rooms and meals practically at cost and to set a standard of quality for all who desire to make homes for stu dents.

A fine power plant, conveniently located, su pplies heat, light and: power for all buildings on t he campus. A new boiler with automatic· stoker has recentl y been installed. Two systems of electric generators ancf two sets of boiler s guarantee continuous and satisfactory service at all times. A transmissi on line from N ebraska City also fu rni shes a continuous twenty-four hour electric current for light and power.

CAMPUS The college campus is the most beautiful in Nebraska. It comp.rises over sixty acres, for the greater part covered with native· ' timber. The athletic field lies in a small valley and is surrounded by a natural amp hitheater of hills covered with hickory, oak, and other hardwood. Beyond the athletic field there is a suitable tract for laborat?ry purposes in vo<:ationa! agriculture. It will be possible· to .do mte nsive work in gardening, poultry raising, dairying and ~rmt culture. Nebraska contains no better place than Nemaha couny for the study of high class far ming.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES Membership in the Girls' Club is open to every woman enrolled' as a student. The work of the club is social and is planned t o hel p its ~embers become acquainted and f eel at h ome while in Peru. During e Year, the club g ives a number of parties and receptions. It takes ~ personal interest in each of its members and in everything designed make school life better and nleasanter. It is sponsored by the· ean of Women. ~

T he director of physical education for women coaches girls' athletics, teaches swimmi ng and g ymn a ium classes an d has charge o-f all indoor a nd outdoor sports for wom en. The P eru athletic record has been a nd will continue to be an enviable one. Th e en ti re environment of hill anci valley, woodland and farmland, t he splendid r oads and t he gr eat. river are a constant invitation to an ou tdoor life of physical activity.

Other classes ~t ·e as ~iste rl , t he la rgest contribution being that of the cla~ s of HH:5, a~ounting to $300, the interest of which is devoted to a prize for the ~n st debator or the best student fo r the year. It is hoped that the Leoan Fund m ay be incr eased as the years go by, so that it will continue to ·ass ist a larger number of students each }'.ear. The rate of interest is rea s~ n able and the loans are necessarily small and for rather short periods.

Applic:. dons for loans should be m ade to the Registrar o.r President and wi ll be acted up on in turn as approved and as money is. availabl e. Short time loans and prompt payments are necessary con..:itions tc assist the largest possible number of students . The greatest memorial t hat can be left by any student organization is the op· portunity to p repare for a life of ser vice to the state in educating its children .

ASSISTING STUDENTS Many stu dents fi nd it n ecessary to work some to help pay expenses while in school. A J ob Bureau is m aintained where a list of people needing help is kept an d an effor t made to bring the wo rk and the worker t oget h er. The Bureau endeavors to render. other assistance and in every "f riendly mann°r tends to make life on the campus worth while to all.

The institu t ion m aintains a Tea ch ers' Bureau to assist its graduates in securing positions as t each er s. The Bureau is well establish~d and has no trouble to find places for P er u graduates. At present , it has difficulty to find teach ers to supply the constant calls for them. ~e shortage of t eachers runs through pract ically every line of public school work.

ADMISSIO N AN D GRADUATION '.fhe work of this institution includes every department of the public sch ools. It has its ungraded room or opportunity school and a complete system of graded schools , beg inr.ing with a preparatory grade or kindergarten, an elementary school of six grades, a junior Tnd senior high sch ool of six years and a four year teachers' college. he institutio n is a unit as to faculty and management. It has the t w.ofo!d purpose of developing the best possible conditions for the ~hild in the public schools and of supplying the m ost effective train·Jn g for his teacher.
