DANBURY
STATE
NORMAL
SCHOOL
LOCATION
Danbury is a city of about 25,000, on the western border
of Connecticut and in the northern part of Fairfield County.
It is a junction point for the railway lines from New York to
to Willimantic,
besides
Pittsfield andJ from Poughkeepsie
direct lines from Litchfield, Bridgeport and New Haven. The
city lies in a broad plain surrounded by the low wooded hills
that mark the beginning of the Berkshire range. Although a
city in size and form of government, it has the atmosphere of
a large New England town; its streets are lined with trees
and its homes are largely owned by those who occupy them.
The normal school property is on White Street, on the
bus line and about six minutes' walk from the railway station.
Its training schools are the city schools on Locust A venue
and Balmforth A venue, with rural schools at Miry Brook and
at Sherman Center.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this school, as set forth in the statute
under which it was established, is that of "training teachers in
the art of instructing and governing in the public schools of
this state." Being supported entirely by taxation of the people
of the state, it is the duty of the normal school to prepare
teachers for the public schools of Connecticut.
The obligation thus plainly laid upon the school is ever
its guiding principle.
It seeks to give to the elementary
schools of this state teachers who are not only skillful, informed and intelligent, but whose habits and ideals shall make
them faithful and effective public servants.
EQUIP :MENT
The normal school building is a modern structure having
a capacity of about two hundred students.
Classrooms are
furnished with individual desks for the members of the school.
An extensive library supplies all textbooks as well as books
of reference and magazines.
The school is equipped with
9
scientific material, and excellent prov1s10n is made for art
work. A gymnasium furnishes opportunity for instruct1on in
games and other indoor exercise, while the grounds are sufficient to allow tennis and other outdoor sports.
A residence
hall, opened in 1927, makes it possible for a considerable
number of our students to enjoy the benefits of dormitory life.
ADMISSION
The privileges of the school are open to residents of this
state over sixteen years old and of suitable character, who
declare their intent to teach in the public schools of Connecticut, and who satisfy the conditions as set forth below.
It is understood that none enter this school except for the
purpose of becoming teachers.
The intent to do so is declared
by every candidate who signs an application for admission.
Evident lack of this purpose as revealed by unfaithfulness,
or
the disclosure of characteristics
that disqualify one for the
teaching profession, are regarded as sufficient warrant for
dismissal from the school.
Following are the specific conditions for admission as
adopted by the State Board of Education.
A
APPLICABLE
TO ALL CANDIDATES
r. Be sixteen ( 16) years of age or over at the time of admiss10n.
2. Be free from physical defects which would unfit them for
the work of a teacher.
The acceptance of the applicant, all other requirements
being met, is conditioned upon her satisfactorily passing a physical examination to be given . at the normal school she proposes to
enter, at stated dates before the opening of school, or as soon as
possible thereafter.
3. Present evidence of graduation from a four-year course in
an approved public or private high school, or possess an equivalent
academic education. ( See High School Form 12, to be filled out
and attested by high school principal.)
4. Present satisfactory testimonials of moral character.
5. Present application to the principal of the normal school
to which entrance is sought.
6. Declare intention to teach in the public schools of the
state.
10

C
ADMISSION
UPON
EXAMINATION
Candidates for admission as regular students who satisfy the
requirements of Section A above, but who cannot satisfy the requirements of Section B above , will be admitted upon passing
entrance examinations . Such candidates must offer for examina·
tion ten units, to be selected from the list of subjects necessary for
certification ( See Section B). Candidates wishing to take examinations must present their applications not later than two weeks
before the date of the August examination.
Should the standing
of any candidate in any full unit of work be eighty-five on a passing mark of seventy, the candidate will be exempted from examination in that subject, and credit so gained may be applied to the
total needed for admission.
D
TIME OF EXAMINATION
AND PRESENTATION
OF
CREDENTIALS
All applicants for admission upon certificate ( Section B
above) must present their applications properly certified to not
later than the opening day of school in September, and all candidates for admission upon examination ( Section C above) must
present their applications for permission to take examinations,
specifying the subjects and units offered, not less than two weeks
before the date of the August examination. In 1929 examinations
will be held at Danbury, New Britain, New Haven and Willimantic
on June 24 and 25 and on August 20 and 21.
E
All applications for admission to the regular work of the
Connecticut state normal schools upon other terms than those
specified in Sections A, B, and C must be made directly to the
Commissioner of Education, Hartford, Conn.
14
APPLICATIONS
FOR ADMISSION
All who expect to enter the school next September should
confer with their high school principal some time before the
end of the school year. They should secure from him a blank
copy of the normal school application form # 1, see that it is
properly filled out and signed by those indicated thereon, and
send it to the principal of the normal school.
Those who hope to enter by certificate (without examination) should take their application forms to the high school
principal after graduation and before the close of school in
June and find out whether or not he can certify that their high
school records meet the requirements
for admission, as set
forth in Section B above. If so, they may expect to be notified
by the secretary of the normal school ; failing to hear from the
school within a month, they should write to the secretary.
The high school principal meantime will send a copy of their
record on high school form # 12 to the normal school principal.
Those whose records will not admit them without exam ination may apply for admission under the terms of Sections
C and D above. It is highly desirable to take the examina tions in June if possible. Those who wait until August should
realize that some time is required in getting these papers
properly read and judged, and that it may not be possible to
notify them of the results before the opening clay of school.
If this should occur they would be allowed to begin work on
the opening clay with the understanding
that it might be necessary to ask them to withdraw when we receive the exami ner's reports.
The number that may be received into the entering class
each year is limited to 120. As these will be enrolled in the
order in which their correct applications
are mailed, it is
desirable to attend to the matter early. It is further specified
in the ruling of the State Board of Education that if more
than 120 apply, preference shall be given to those meeting the
requirements of Section B.
The secretary of the school will gladly answer inquiries
or send application forms to those who may not be able to
secure them from a high school principal.
15
HEALTH
EXAMINATION
The work of the school, like that of the profession for
which it aims to prepare, requires that those who undertake it
shall be in sound pl:iysical health.
In order to assure this so
far as possible, the school provides for a physical and health
examination by competent physicians and requires that each
applicant shall pass this examination.
The examinations will
be given during the summer vacation by appointment
with
the physician in Danbury or elsewhere.
Those who cannot
be examined during the summer may enter the school in
September only upon the understanding
that they must withdraw if they fail to pass this examination early in the fall term.
TIME OF ENTRANCE
The fall term begins Wednesday following the first Monday of September.
Students are expected to be present at the
opening exercises in the assembly hat\ at 10 :30.
Classes are organized and work is begun the opening day
of the first term. Much of the work is so unlike that of the
secondary school to which the students are accustomed, that
attendance upon the first lessons of each course is especially
important.
Students entering late are regarded as absent
from the first day, and they suffer a proportionate
loss of
credit in each course.
Candidates appearing after the opening day will be required to apply for admission to the Commissioner of Education at Hartford, even thoug·h their papers may have been
accepted.
REPORTS
Reports of each student's progress are sent quarterly at
the end of each ten-week period to her parent or guardian.
These reports constitute official notice of her standing and an
indication of her prospects, the ratings being fully explained
thereon.
No other notice should be expected, but parents are
urged to confer with us after receiving· such reports.
16
GRADUATION
At the end of the two-year course diplomas will be
awarded to those who
1. have throughout the course maintained a standard of
conduct befitting a teacher;
2. have attained the required standard of scholarship 111
every prescribed subject;
3. have exhibited a fair degree of skill in teaching and
governing children.
Such graduates
will receive a Limited Normal School
Certificate.
CREDIT
FOR ADV AN CED WORK
Several institutions of college grade recognize the diploma
of this school by giving advanced standing to those who hold
it. In the education department
of some universities
this
credit is such as to make it possible with extra work to complete the four-year course in two years.
A two-year professional course at the normal school followed by two years of
special subjects at the university offers an excellent prepara~
tion for high school teaching.
SCHOLARSHIPS
By an act of the General Assembly, students who fulfill
certain conditions may receive from the state treasury monthly
sums to be applied toward paying their living expenses.
The
purpose of this provision is to assure a supply of trained
teachers for the smaller towns of the state; hence the students
who receive such scholarships must be recommended by the
proper authorities in one of the small towns, and must agree
to teach in one of such towns for a period of three years after
graduation.
It is also required by the school faculty that the
holders of such scholarships
shall maintain a satisfactory
standard in their work at the school; students failing to do
so must expect the scholarship to be withdrawn.
The conditions
under which these scholarships
are
granted are clearly set forth in the statute which established
17
j
them, a copy of which is given below. Further
may be had on application to the principal.
information
Section 1066 G. S.-"The
State Board of Education may at all times
maintain in any of the normal schools, one student, selected on the basis
of scholarship and general fitness, from each town in the state having a
valuation by the board of equalization of less than one and one-half million
dollars, upon the recommendation of the town school committee or board of
school visitors of such town; and for students admitted to said schools under
the provisions of this section living expenses, not to exceed one hundred and
fifty dollars for each pupil in any one year, shall be provided by said State
Board of Education free of charge. Every person entering a normal school
under the provisions of this section shall enter into an agreement with the
State Board of Education to remain at the normal school for two years
unless in case of ill health or dismissal by the school authorities, and to
teach in one of the towns from which such students are nominated or
appointed for a period of three years after graduation unless excused by the
State Board of Education."
EXPENSES
The school makes no charge for tmt10n, laboratory fees,
or the use of library books. Students furnish pencils and notebooks, as well as a few drawing supplies and a gymnasium
suit. They are also advised, but not required, to buy a few
books and some material that will be useful in their profession.
Board and lodging may be secured at rates from $8.00 a week
upward.
LIVING
ARRANGEMENTS
Our residence hall provides for eighty-five students, under
the direct oversight of the dean of women. The rooms accommodate two students each. Charges are proportionate
to the
cost of maintenance, estimated annually on the basis of experience. At present the charge is $325 per year, payable quarterly in advance. This includes bo~rd and room and a reasonable supply of bedding and table linen. Towels, soap and
extra blankets are furnished by the student.
Only a small number of the entering class can be accommodated at the hall. An effort is made to distribute these
opportunities
geographically,
so that many localities may be
represented.
Selections for the coming year will be made
from those whose applications for dormitory reservations are
received before June first. All who intend to enter the school
18
l..
and desire to live at the hall should write to us for an application blank before the middle of May.
For those who cannot be accommodated at the hall, private homes located variously about the city are open to individuals or small groups.
Usually two students share one
room, and those who can do so may seek such accommodation together.
A list of available places will be sent to those
asking for it, and the dean will gladly help students who seek
her at the residence hall during the two weeks before school
opens. It is important to have engaged living accommodations before coming to school.
A few students who can secure rooms without meals at
homes near the school may board at the hall and enjoy the
social activities of those who live there. The rate is six dollars a week, payable quarterly in advance.
NON-RESIDENCE
Daily commutation from a distance is generally undesirable. Those who plan to do so should make sure that they
can arrive at the times indicated by the schedule.
SCHEDULE
For 1929-30, the daily schedule of classes in the normal
school begins at 8 :40 and ends at 3 :49, with an intermission
from 12 :06 to 1 :15. During training periods (see page 39) the
students are at the school from 8 :15 to 12 :00 and from 1 :10
to 4 :30 unless excused earlier. Class periods will be each SO
minutes in length.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly occupies a full class period on Monday and
Thursday mornings throughout the year. Programs are in
charge of the assembly committee and they involve a large
measure of student participation.
Different types of school
activities are exemplified by student groups and addresses by
teachers, 8tudents, and outside speakers are frequent.
Assembly singing and other forms of music enrich the programs
that are designed to be always educational.
Attendance is
expected of all members of the school.
19
EXTRA-CURRICULUM
ACTIVITIES
To extend the opportunities for students to gain by carrying responsibility,
to foster a suitable school spirit, and to
promote the general welfare , the students and all school
officers are organized as a Cooperative Government Association. Its chief executive body is a Council , composed entirely
of students.
The officers are chosen by secret preferential
ballot by the entire association;
the other councilors are
chosen by the student divisions that they represent.
Standing
committees, including a Welfare Committee , Assembly Committee, Library Committee, and Social Committee are composed of faculty members appointed by the principal and student members appointed by the council.
Various clubs are organized and all must be charte~ed by
the Council. These at present include the Glee Club, Rural
Club, Dramatic Club, Athletic Club, Nature Club, and The
Forum.
The several committees and clubs, together with class
and division activities and the house organization of the residence hall, offer much opportunity for students to exercise
leadership and carry responsibility.
Effort is made to foster
their growth in these particulars by placing as much as possible in their hands.
Other extra-curriculum
activities include certain social
functions, some of which are traditional and some spontaneous, tournaments in tennis, basket ball and other sports, skating, hiking and picnics. The senior class prepares and publishes a weekly news sheet Dee N esS, which was established
by the class of 1925.
GYMNASIUM
Every student on entering the school must be provided
with a gymnasium costume, the details of which are prescribed
and will be indicated to each applicant who is accepted.
Physical education is a regular part of the school curriculum, and a student who is physically unable to take part in the
work of the gymnasium cannot be regarded as qualified for
teaching and should not hope to receive a diploma.
20
STUDENT
WELFARE
It is the hope and purpose of the faculty that every student shall at all times be making steady progress toward becoming a superior teacher, and that she shall be happy in doing
so. The principal is always glad to receive and confer with
any students upon matters concerning their work or welfare.
Every student who feels in need of counsel or who wishes to
bring any matter to the attention of the principal may freely
call upon him or the dean. The chairman of the Welfare Committee may be consulted by those desiring responsible student
counsel.
ALUMNAE
AW ARDS
The Alumnae Association offers two gold medals, which
are awarded annually at the graduation exercises to the senior
who has made the highest scholarship record during her
course, and the senior who in the opinion of the faculty has
In June, 1928, these
shown the highest general excellence.
medals were awarded as follows: for scholarship, Amelia E.
Walden of Norwalk; for general excellence, Gladys B. Tilk of
Danbury.
EMPLOYMENT
The school cannot guarantee employment to its graduates.
Yet our supervisor of training maintains an employment service throughout
the spring term and makes a considerable
effort to place those who will be graduated in June. We believe that any student who makes a good record may be reasonably sure of an opportunity to teach in Connecticut the
school year following graduation.
SERVICE
TO ALUMNAE
The use of the school library is extended to graduates
free of expense excepting that of returning the books. The
privilege carries two months' retention of any books that are
useful in school work excepting large reference works. The
school makes an effort to give specific help to those of its
21
graduates who are found to be having particular difficulty in
their early school years, and requests on the part of its graduates for this or any other professional assistance will receive
consideration and such action as may be possible.
EXTENSION
COURSES
The normal school staff is prepared within the limits of
available resources to offer courses in various subjects if they
are requested by a sufficiently large group of teachers.
They
may be given at the school or elsewhere if arrangements
can
be made. The courses that may be offered will be arranged
in accordance with a program of extension work coordinated
,through the Division of Teacher Preparation
of the State
Board of Education.
So far as these courses are offered there
will be no charge to public school teachers.

AL COURSES
Introduction to Teaching
The purposes of this course are: (a) to provide the student
with an introduction to the profession-an
initial comprehensive preview of the whole program of education; (b) to inform the student as to prerequisites for successful teaching
in the several grades of the elementary school ; and ( c) to acquaint the student with the technical and more commonly
used terms of the profession.
The course in Introduction to
Teaching, therefore, has three functions as follows: orientation, guidance and vocabulary.
The chief topics or units discussed are:
1. Nature and importance of the teaching profession.
2. Organization of American public education.
3. Function of the public school and its curriculum.
4. General character of normal school work.
5. Possible careers in education.

Educational Psychology
The whole public school system should be viewed from the
standpoint of the nature and needs of the child. If the teacher
is to intelligently stimulate and guide learning, he must have
a thorough knowledge of:
1. Original nature, its automatic
processes, instinctive
tendencies to activity, and its capacities.
2. The laws which govern and the principles which underlie learning-that
process by which original nature
is modified and developed and behavior made increasingly satisfactory.
3. Child development
and the type of school work
adapted to each stage in this development.
4. Individual differences-their
nature and significance
to instruction and the arrangement of school work.
This course, through lectures, discussions, assigned readings and observation of children. aims to equip each student
with this knowledge.

Principles of Education
(Kindergarten-Primary)
Following the work in psychology, this course in the senior
year takes up the educative process and develops definite principles for the guidance of teachers.
These principles are derived from three sources-biology,
psychology and sociology
-and
they have reference to the growth and health of
pupils, their native equipment and capacities for learning, and
the objectives, content and general practices of public school
work.
Classroom discussions and instruction
are supplemented by readings from a variety of textbooks.
Students
are expected to apply the principles in their student-teaching
and to discuss intelligently exemplifications of the principles
that they observe.

Observation and Participation
Training is included in the junior year of the normal school
curriculum so that each student will have contact with present
school conditions very early in her course and at intervals
throughout it. It bears a relation to the academic courses of
normal school similar to that of the laboratory periods to the
secondary-school
science courses.
The work of the normal
and training schools is so organized that the one guides the
student in her understanding
of the other.

Art
Art courses in the elementary school offer varied opportunity for pupils to gain skill with their hands through using
and making things.
At the same time they teach pupils to
recognize and care for better pictures, printing, furniture,
clothing, etc.; to prize neat and orderly work; to be careful
of their own appearance and things under their control.
It is
an ultimate aim to raise the standards of what is generally
considered good taste in matters of personal or community
appearance.
The art work offers many opportunities
for
school projects and may be. helpfully coordinated with several
school courses.
Normal school courses are designed to prepare students to conduct work of this nature in the elementary
schools.
Instruction is given in drawing, painting, lettering,
and various forms of handwork, together with art appreciation
and methods of teaching pupils.

TRAINING
Each student spends one-quarter of her entire time in the
training schools, engaged in observation and practice under
actual schoolroom conditions.
This work is carried on in twenty-eight public school rooms
of the towns of Danbury and Sherman, which are under normal school administration.
Sixteen of these are at Balmforth
Avenue school and ten at Locust Avenue school. The rural
schools at Sherman and Miry Brook offer opportunity
for
training under actual rural school conditions.
The work of
these schools is under the direction of the head of the education department at the normal school, and the work of normal school students in them is in charge of the director of
trammg.
Each room in the training schools is regularly in
charge of one teacher, who also serves as instructor in teaching and management to the students temporarily assigned to
her room.
The twenty weeks of training are grouped into six periods,
beginning with the second month and scattered throughout
their entire course'. Three of these occur during the junior
year, the first two being each two weeks in length and the
third about one month. The three periods of the senior year
are each about one month long. The months set apart for
each class in training and the stage that the students should
reach in each period are here given as they are planned for
1929-30, though this is subject to change.

Stage II
In this schedule X means divisions A and B, and Y indicates C and D. The training "months" do not coincide exactly
with the calendar months whose names they bear; with occasional exceptions, each begins on a Monday and is four weeks
long.
The work of each stage of training is planned so as to
focus the student's attention upon one phase of teaching or
management.
In the first stage the student takes care of
mechanical details in the room, and learns how to take useful
observations.
In the second stage the emphasis is upon lesson
planning, without responsibility
for the illustrative material
and devices. During the third stage the student prepares her
own illustrative material, and also arranges the blackboard
work.
She is expected to have entire management
of the
whole class independently.
For the fourth stage the added
duties include the management
of study and recreation
periods. In the fifth stage the student constructs a daily plan
sheet showing the work to be done in each subject, 'with reference to the needs of the class and the requirements
of the
course of study.
During the sixth stage the student is expected to prepare each day's work as though the - entire responsibility
for the room were hers.
In the early part of
training the student is responsible for the care of physical surroundings in the classroom; as the amount of teaching is increased, these duties are correspondingly
diminished.
Each student spends a portion of every day in observing
classes taught by the critic teacher.
A report of one or more
of these classes is submitted to the teacher at the close of the
day. This report states the purpose of the lesson and the
steps taken in accomplishing the purpose, together with notes
on special features which the student may have been asked to
39
look for-such
as method of gammg attention, activities of
pupils , etc.
Toward the end of each day the student has a brief conference with her critic teacher, in which she receives such
note s on her work through the day as will enable her to improve or strengthen it in the future.
She is also given opportunity to inquire about any phase of the work which she does
not clearly understand.
The teaching required of each student in the first stage is
the tutoring of individuals;
in the second stage she teaches
small groups daily, for which she is required to make detailed
plans; in the third stage she makes out full plans for the
entire class; in the fourth, one of the · assigned lessons is
planned in detail and the others in the form of an outline;
in the fifth stage rather full outlines are made for the several
lessons; in the sixth stage a teacher's set of outlines is prepared for the day.
The amount of teaching done by the students is gradually
increased as they gain experience.
In the first stage, their
average teaching is twenty minutes a day; in the second,
twenty -five minutes per day; in the third forty-five minutes;
in the fourth, fifty minutes plus one continuous quarter day
toward the end; in the fifth, about one hour plus one entire
half day; in the final stage the student must be able to take
full charge of the room at any moment and continue it indefinitely.
By arrangement of the training periods at intervals throughout the two years' normal course it is intended that classroom
study and practical experience shall stimulate and supplement
each other to the advantage of both. Every student is able
to gain experience in at least four representative
grades and
under different teachers.
Each has at least one week's training in a rural school; graduates in 1929 will have had each
two weeks.
Beginning at stage four, a student must have satisfactorily
met the specific requirements
of each stage before being
allowed to advance to the next.
