The Northern in Iana Normal School The Northern In�iana Normal School ---AND-- B'U"SIN'ESS IN'STIT'U"TE V ALPARA.ISO., INDIAN A. This [nstitution, now more prosperous than ever before, has grown and flourish�d solely upon its own merits. Strict attention to business, thorough work in every department, and honorable competition, without anv attempt to disparage the good work of other schools, have won for it enconiums from leading educators everywhere, and have in eig-ht years built up a School from one beginning with 35 students to one whose aver­ age enrollment exceeds 1200, thus making it the · �t\RG-ESCJ:1 N-ORMA-"1-SGllOGL-IN-rr-.llE-�In\-N-D.- - �.� It now has represent:itives from ;ilmost EVERY STATE AND TERRITORY IN THE UNION, AND FROM THE PROVINCES OF CANADA. These young peoµle are refined and cultured, and come from the best families. The majority of them have made tlteir 01un money, and aref>ayi11g- tkeir own way, while many others c 'me from home� of 111xnry. ALL ARE UPON THE SAME BASIS, the only criterion being the work done. Here NO RICH OR POOR ARE KNOWN. No institution is more faitlrful lo tkos confided to Us car . In securing experienced teachers no ex­ pense has been spared. e e While we do not promise to please every one, yet the universal testimony or those who come here for work is that they get nto"e tit ui 7!tdue received fiw tlte time and 11z,,ney exp nded. This is still further at1ested by the stttdnits returninK term after eterm, and in almost every instanu brin.t;i'ng some one 1,.z't/i tit.em. This t,; the b1'St recommendatirm tltat any SC HOOL can kave. lt was th! inten1ion du1ing the !:<'all Term to erect:, new building .. The rapid rise in the prices of every­ thing, at once dt:cided ns to abandon the enterprbe, and £nstead of increasing tlte price of board, thereby making tlte exj>ntu o.J tlte students .t:reater, the money was invested Ill provi�ion s. By b11ying large quanti­ ties in ad1 ance, 111e are enablt'd to keep tlte prices at tlie old rates, and now that the boarding department is under our own management, we are enabled to sati,fy alL ln the early Spring we will erect another large br'tirdinglwll, also the projected additional sdtool build­ ing. Besides these, numerous private building.; are being erected, so that ample accommodations will be provided for all who come. Many rooms occupied by families during· the winter are, in the spring·' thrown open to students. NO ONE NEED FEAR THAT HE WILL NOT BE ACCOi\,MODATED AT THE ADVERTISED RATES. This Institution has evervthing that those desiring a practical education could desire, and at an expense much less than that ot any otherschooL Dnring th<- Second Winter Term, and the Spring Te1m, new Classes 11•ill be formed, not'" tke beginning only, /1ut at ifferent pPriods during tlte Term. This i� done for those who an! teaching, ar.d whose s<.:hoob may close duringd the term. They can enter at any time and find classes suited to their w<1nts. :::;._1" MRS. KINSE_Y has assumed full managemenj: of the Boarding and .Rooms of -the � L..A.DIES" DEF..A.RTJY.!ENT. Parents need have no fears about sending their daughters here, as they will be under the care of an experienced and cultured lady, who will give them her especial attention. The Large and Cootinuanv lncreal'ing Attendance, the Great D�m;;md for Teachers Trained Here, Together with the fact that the lnstitution has no endM111nent, nor any Slate af>p,,.opriati'o11s, but depends wholly upon its work for its patronage and support. are evidences to all that the clt<tracter o/ tlte 111ork must be suferior. All who visit the I n�titution and see the earnest work of the teachers, are convinced that the School has honestly won its high po�ition among the institution� of learning. Tlte j>rtndpril rrason of lite u11pa1·alleled surcess o/ tit.is Sc/tool is the fact that each department is in charge of a Tericlter cspedally trained }or /tis 111ork.

Before deciding where to attend School, read the following and compare with the. Advantages offered by any other Institution of Learning. ADV ANT.AGES NOT FOUND AT ANY OTHER SCHOOL. 1. T!tere are no vacations during tke entire year. 2. Our large attendance enables us to have classes of so many different grades that students can enter at any time, select tkez'r07un studi"es, begm where they wish, and advance as rapidly as they may deshe. 3. There are Beginning, Advanced, Regular and Review Classes in all of the branches every term. These are organized not at the beginning only, but at different periods during the term. 4. An opportunity of taking, without extra charge, one of the most thorough Commercial Courses offered by any school. 5. Superior facilities for securing positions for those who complete any of the regular courses. �ESFECJ:..A.L ..A.'J:'TEN'J:'J:ON� Is called to our Regular Courses of Study. The high appreciation of our efforts to raise the standard of this work is shown by the members o.f tke classes, and the numerous letters recez"ved from educators every111kere. Educators kave confidence that those who complete any of the courses of study are tkorougkly qualified to use what they have studied, and the success of our graduates assures all that public confidc::nce is not misplaced. How an May be Accommodated with Just such ClassBs as They Desire. During the present session there are more titan 90 daily recitations. This number does not include any of the Epecial branches. ARITHMETIC.-There are fifteen classes in Arithmetic. These are arranged in five grades. One beginning the work, designed for those who have never studied the subject. Two beginning and advancing rapidly. Two intermediate classes, beginning with compound numbers. Two beginning with fractions. Four review classes; in these the entire subject is thoroughly reviewed; they are especially designed to meet the wants of teachers, and those who are quite thorough m the subject. Tw6 analytical classes beginning with percentage, and discussing all the more difficult points. Besides all of these, there are classes in Com­ mercial Arithmetic, designed especially to give short practical forms for all business computations. Careful attention will be given to Mental Aritkmetic. The plan as used here in the investigation of these subjects differs from that of any otker sckool. It has been most care.fully and success.fully tested in many of our . common and high schools, which confirms our belief that it is just wkat is needed. The student is not only thoroughly drilled in the subject as presented in the text book, but ai!>o in numerous practical examples found in every day hfe. When he has completed tke work he. will be master of the subject, and can use his knowledge independent of BOOKS. · ALGEBRA. .:_There are eigkt classes in Algebra. Thesll! are arranged in four grades. Two beginning the work; two review classes, commencing the work and completing the elementary; three beginning the higher, and one commencing with "radicals," and completing the work, GEOMETRY, TRIGONOMETRY, ASTRONOMY.-There are two classes in Geometry, one in Trigonometry, one in Astronomy. ENGINEERING.-This course embraces all forms of Surveying and Engineering. It is the most com­ plete course established in any Western College. The finest instruments are used. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.-All the classes in this department are in active work. GRAMMAR.-There are four classes in Grammar. One for those who desire to begin the work; also, for those who have given but little attention to the subject. The others are advanced and review classes, designed for those who are somewhat familiar with the sub1ect. In these classes all of the different parts o.f speeck are taken into consideration, but E.SPECIAL attention is given to the difficult parts, such as Rela­ tive Pronouns, Infinitives, Participles, and Active and Passive Voices o.f Verbs. In connection with these classes, Analysis is so clear,!y taught as to render those who have never studied the subject tkorougkly_ a qua , . popular are the methods used in these classes that many come here to take the course in Grammar alone. RHETORIC.-There are.five classes in Rhetoric, designed for those who are familiar with the subject of Grammar, and desire to make a practical application of it-three beginning and two advanced-designed for such as wish to continue rhetorical work. In these classes especial study is given to the finergraces of writing, and to the delivery of essays and orations. COMPOSITIONS AND LETTERS.-There are regular classes in Composition and Letter Writing. These are designed for all who wish to acquire a knowledge of business and ordinary form of epistolary · writing. GREEK AND LATIN.-There is one class in Gr�ek, and seven classes in Latin. Two of these are beginning in the Grammar and Reader, and are designed for those wishmg to commence the study.

  • Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin De Siècle and a New Beginning
    Reginald Edwards McGill University Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin de siècle and a new beginning Abstract The history and development of normal schools is traced through a summary of events that transpired in France, the United States, Britain, and Canada. The author examines the roots of several systems ofteacher training and identifies specifie institutions (normal schools) that played an important role in bringing to McGill University key persons interested in the training of teachers. Much of the article is devoted to linking the diverse influences that culminated in the establishment of the McGill Normal School, the Macdonald CollegeforTeachers, and the Macdonald Chair ofEducation. Whilethearticle outlines the history of McGill's role in teacher education in Quebec and Canada, it also gives a broad perspective on the history of normal schools in Europe and North America, and their influences on teacher education today. Résumé L'histoire et le développement des écoles normales est retracée par un résumé des événements qui se sont produits en France, aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et au Canada. L'auteur analyse les racines de plusieurs systèmes de formation des maîtres et se penche sur certains établissements (écoles normales) qui ont contribué àfaire venir à l'Université McGill des personnes clés s'intéressant à la formation des maîtres. Une bonne part de l'article est consacré aux diverses influences qui ont abouti à la création de la McGill Normal School, du Macdonald Collegefor Teachers et de la Chaire Macdonald des sciences de l'éducation. Si l'auteur dresse l'historique du rôle joué par McGill dans laformation des maîtres au Québec et au Canada, il propose une vue d'ensemble plus étendue de l'historique des écoles normales en Europe et en Amérique du Nord et de leurs incidences sur laformation des maîtres telle qu'elle est dispensée aujourd'hui.

FACULTY OF THE N. I. N. S. IN 1873. It was in the early summer of 1873, that the writer first heard of the Northern Indiana Normal School. He was walking with Prof. H. B. Brown, then at the head of the Scientific Department of the North­ Western Normal School, of Ohio. We had walked up and down the streets through the rain for an hour, discussing the probable future of the school in which Mr. Brown was then engaged as teacher, when suddenly he said, as though he thought of it then for the first time, "l shall have a school of my own." He then went on outlining what he thought would be a successful insti­ tution, and wound up by saying that he hoped, if he could find a suitable place, and would work very devotedly indeed, he might possibly build up and sustain a school of 300 students, though that was setting the mark very high. It was soon after this that he heard of the closing of a col­ lege in Valparaiso, Ind., and a consequently empty building. He made H.B. BROWN. B . F.

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.

    Ottawa Teachers' College OTTAWA, ONTARIO V, W Dana Johnson Environment Environnement Canada Canada Parks Pares Ottawa Teachers' College The Ottawa Teachers' College or Normal School, designed by the architect W.R. Strickland and built in 1875 by J. Forin, was the second institution of its type to be established in Ontario. The rear wing was added in 1879 to house a model school. The College continued to train teachers for Ontario until 1974. While the general massing of forms, with central and side pavilions, follows the 19th century academic tradi­ tion, the use of disparate architectural details including the pointed Gothic windows, semi-circular Italianate windows, Romanesque columns and Second Empire roof, reflects a spirit of eclecticism.
