Several hundred students entered normal schools in Calgary, Camrose, and Edmonton every year to complete the one-year teacher preparation course. Student life in normal schools revolved around relationships between faculty and students. Normal school faculty regulated behaviour in and out of the classroom, supervised extracurricular activities, and oversaw off-campus accommodations in fulfilment of academic and social responsibilities to care for students. They aimed to prepare Normalites (as students called themselves) for the teaching profession and so reinforced existing gender and social mores—expectations to which students were largely content to conform.

    Furrows of the Field: Methodology in Writing the Religious History of the Canadian Prairies A thesis submitted to The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies University of Regina By Connor John Thompson Regina, SK April, 2019 Copyright 2019: Connor John Thompson UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Connor John Thompson, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in Religious Studies, has presented a thesis titled, Furrows of the Field: Methodology in Writing The Religious History of the Canadian Prairies, in an oral examination held on April 23, 2019. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Murray Knuttila, Brock Univesity Co-Supervisor: Dr. William Arnal, Department of Religious Studies Co-Supervisor: Dr. Bryan Hillis, Department of Religious Studies Committee Member: Dr. Andre Magnan, Department of Sociology & Social Studies Chair of Defense: Dr. Susan Johnston, Department of English Abstract The primary concern of this thesis is explanation of the drastic decline in church attendance that has characterized Prairie religious history, and Canadian history more broadly, over the course of the twentieth and early twenty first centuries. In the case of the Canadian Prairies as a region, this transformation has also been tied up with the change from a heavily social gospel influenced society based on the highly valued ethic of co-operation to a society that is increasingly non-church going and which more highly values the ethic of individualism.
