�THE SCHOOL
PURPOSE
This school was established by statute of the state for the purpose of "training teachers in the art of instructing and governing
in the public schools of this state."
In carrying out this purpose it is the constant aim of the school
to try to advance the cause of education by maintaining a progressive attitude in its faculty and seeking to cultivate in its
students ideals of faithful service.
So far as the work is based upon public school subjects they
are those of the elementary schools; but the school offers much, in
both professional instruction and training, that makes its diploma
valuable also to high school teachers. In its summer session, one
department offers a six weeks' course specifically for high school
teachers in special subjects.
EQUIPMENT
The normal school building is a thoroughly modern structure
having a capacity of two hundred students. Class rooms are furnished with individual desks for the - members of the school. An
extensive library supplies all text books as well as books of reference
and magazines. There are laboratories for work in physics and
chemistry, and the school is equipped with a projection lantern and
various scientific material. Excellent provision is made also for
work in drawing and sewing. A gymnasium provides opportunity
for instruction in games and folk dancing, as well as basket ball and
other indoor exercise.
The present dormitory offers accommodation for but twenty
students. It is a half minute's walk from the main school building.
A large plot of land adjoining the normal school grounds has been
bought by the state for a dormitory site.
11
�TRAINING SCHOOLS
Twenty-seven public school rooms are under normal school
management for use as training schools for students. These include the whole fourteen-room building of Balmforth Avenue
school and the eight-room building of Locust Avenue school; also
the primary room at vVhite Street school and one primary room at
New Street school. Two rural schools, one at Miry Brook and one
at Sherman Center, offer opportunity for training under actual
country school conditions. A kindergarten is maintained in one
room of the normal school building.
Excepting the kindergarten and the rural school in Sherman,
all of these are regular public schools in the town of Danbury. By
contract with the state the town furnishes the buildings, heat, and
janitor service, and contri·b utes to the cost of supplies for children
at an annual rate of fifty cents per pupil. The state, through the
normal school officers, assumes the entire management of the
schools, pays for books and supplies to pupils in excess of the sum
stated above, and agrees to maintain a standard of schools as high
as of those un de r town manag~ment. Teachers are engaged by
the normal school officers, and receive from the town a salary equal
to the average that it pays in that grade. The state pays each
teacher an additional sum.
The work of these schools is under the immediate supervision
of a director of training, who is also the instructor in school management at the normal school. Each room in the training schools
is regularly in charge of one teacher, who also serves as instructor
in teaching and management to the one or two students temporarily
assigned to her room.
LOCATION
Danbury is on the western border of Connecticut. Being an
industrial city of twenty thousand, and the center of an extensive

��THE CUR1RICULUM
Candidates for graduation must successfully complete the
equivalent of two years' work of thirty-six weeks each. This may
be done wholly during the usual "school years" from September to
June, or in part at the summer sessions as set forth on page 3 I.
NATURE OF THE WORK
The work includes courses of instruction in education and
school management, in the methods of teaching the usual elementary
school subjects, and in the content of a few school subjects in which
students generally are not well grounded. Members of both senior
and junior classes also receive training in the art of teaching and
managing a school.
The maturity of the students and the serious purpose of the
school call for standards of requirement equal to those of the first
two years of college. Such work as is done in common school
subjects is technical instruction in the philosophy and methods of
teaching them. With very little exception the content of these
elementary subjects is not taught, and students are assumed either
to know it or to be able to post themselves without help.
SYLLABUS
The following syllabus, adopted by the state board of education is the basis on which the work of the school is planned.

TRAINING
Training m teaching and managing children under actual
schoolroom conditions forms a very important part of the normal
18
���school course. Each student spends an aggregate of one-half year's
full time in the training schools. This course is divided into five
periods of one full month each. Three of these periods are scattered through the senior year, and the other two are divided among
four months of half days in the junior year, as shown in the following schedule:

This schedule will be in operation after this year. Owing to
changes in the general curriculum some irregularities now prevail.
Division A of the senior class includes the first half of the class
alphabetically. Of the junior class, division A at present includes
those in residence here and B those who commute; so far as practicable the class will be divided on this basis.
The work of each training period is planned to focus the
student's attention upon one phase of teaching or management. In
the first period the student gives particular attention to the physical
surroundings, the welfare of pupils, and a study of the pupils' individual needs; in the second period emphasis is on the lesson
planning, with preparation of illustrative materials for use in teaching, arrangement of blackboard work, etc.; in the third, planning
for work of the pupils during study hours and checking accomplishment, learning the place and value of individual instruction in
methods of study, and a study of recreation periods; fourth, construction of a daily plan sheet showing the ground to be covered in
19
�each subject, with due reference to the needs of the class and in
accordance with requirements outlined in the course of study; fifth,
preparation of each days' work as if the entire responsibility for
the room were the student's.
Each student spends a portion of every day in observing classes
taught by the teacher in charge of the room. 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 look for-such
as method of gaining attention, activities of pupils, etc.
The amount of teaching done by the students is gradually increased as they gain experience. In the first training period their
average teaching is twenty minutes daily; in the second forty minutes; in the third period fifty minutes plus one continuous quarter
of a day toward the encl; in the fourth, one hour plus one full half
day; and in the final period, after the first week the student must be
ready to take entire charge of the room at any moment and continue it indefinitely.
The teaching of the first trammg period is wholly of small
groups. In the second period the student teaches first one and later
two classes daily, for which she is required to prepare detailed
plans. For the third, one of the assigned lessons is planned in
detail and the others in the form of outlines. In the fourth period
rather full outlines are made for several lessons, and in the fifth a
teacher's plan sheet is prepared for each day.
In the early part of training the student is made responsible
for the care of physical surroundings in the class room-for ventilation and temperature regulation, care of materials, arrangement of
20
�blackboard work, etc. As the amount of teaching is increased,
other duties are accordingly diminished.
Toward the end of each day the student has a brief conference
with her training teacher, in which she receives such notes 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.
By arrangement of the training periods at intervals throughout
the two years' normal course it is intended that class-room 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 two weeks training in one of the rural schools.
21
�COURSES OF STUDY
EDUCATION COURSES
EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
Twelve Weeks
The first course in education is based upon the growth and education of the nervous system. Its purpose is to give definite ideas
of the mechanism of human behavior with reference to its capacities for education.
Each student is expected to acquire ability to use the terms and ·
express the ideas of elementary psychology, and to get clear meanings from the simpler books in the subject.
THE EDUCATIVE PROCESS
Eighteen Weeks
This is a course in the principles of education as applied in
teaching and managing school children. It is based upon the course
in elementary psychology. The purpose is to teach how the pupils'
capacities for education may be utilized and directed, what objectives should guide the teacher's work, and how results may be
measured.
Students are expected to be able to state some educational principles clearly, to show how these are applied in school work, and to
give evidence of increasing ability to get accurate meanings from
educational literature.
PSYCHOLOGY OF ELEMENTARY SUBJECTS
Six Weeks
The purpose of this course is to teach the psychological principles that underlie the methods of teaching elementary subjects,
22
�particularly reading, arithmetic, and spelling. The course is given
in the junior year immediately after Education I, as the students
are at that time studying the methodology of these subjects in both
normal and training departments.
EDU CATIONAL SYSTEMS
Nin e W eeks
This course is designed to impart some knowledge of presentday educational systems that are familiar in name, and of those men
and methods of the past that have had some bearing upon public
schools of to-day. Its aim is to stimulate the teachers' profession~!
interest in their work, and especially to lay the foundation for their
own progress in sympathy with that of educational methods.
The students are expected to be able to state the notable
features of each system considered, and also to form and state ideas
of their own regarding their value.
P SYCHOLOGY OF DEFICIBNTS
Six W eeks
Defects of hearing, vision, speech, and mentality are considered. The objects of this work are to instruct teachers in what
sorts of deficiencies to look for, what signs may indicate these, and
what they should do when suspected cases come to their attention.
Methods of determining deficiency are discussed, and ways of dealing with such deficient children as must remain in regular classes
of normal pupils.
EDUCATIONAL READING
Three Weeks
Throughout their courses in education students are expected to
gain familiarity with the names and content of books and other
literature of the subject. Assigned readings are required in a
variety of sources. This brief course at the close of the senior year
23
�aims to fix the students' attention upon familiarity with educational
literature as a goal. Results of their previous reading are tested,
and a few typical books are studies and discussed in class.
SCHOOL MANAGEMENT
The aim of this course is to prepare the student to successfully
manage a scnool. This is accomplished first, by observation of and
practice in the management of a particular room in one of the training schools, and second, by a study of the principles underlying
efficient school management.
Among the topics studied are:
the teacher's personality
organization of the school
playground management
hygienic school room conditions
school room decoration
prog ram of work
place and value of routine
keeping of reco rds
technique of class instruction
use of standard tests
order and discipline
co-operation with parents
extra school activities
community interests
professional ethics
METHO DOLOGY
T hirty-six Weeks
The purpose of this course is to organize the subject matter of
history, reading, writing, geography, and arithmetic, and to present
the best methods of teaching these subjects in the primary, intermediate, and grammar grades.
24
�In addition to the class work in the normal school, lessons are
given in the model schools demonstrating the methods under discuss10n.
LITERATURE
This course aims to make the prospective teacher familiar with
the literature used in the grades, aware of its particular value, and
adept in its presentation. In connection with the work of the upper
grades the student is expected to acquire a real appreciation not
only of the specific selection but of the author and his place in
literature. The work is taught not for its own sake alone but for
its power to enrich and interpret life. Emphasis, therefore, is laid
upon that which is of permanent worth in form and content.
Incorporated in the literature course are a course in public
speaking and one in directed reading. The public speaking course
aims to develop: adequate oral and written reproduction of material
from outside sources; story-telling technique; and rapid accurate
judgment in choice of new material and adaptation of both new
and old.
The directed reading aims to promote discrimination in the
reading for both relaxation and information and familiarity with
the work of contemporaries whose writings are of weight in the
educational world.
LANGUAGE
In this course stress is laid upon fund amental ideals of language,
-to cultivate a rich, flexible language fund and the ability to draw
upon it at need and will. Material is drawn from other studies,
language games used, force of imitation emphasized, and the dependence of every other study upon language is made conspicuous.
25
�SCIENCE COURSES
ELEMENTARY SCIENCE
Twelve Weeks
Some elementary principles of physics are taught as a basis for
science lessons in the higher elementary grades. The course deals
largely with subj ect matter, followed by some study of methods of
presenting science lessons. In general the subjects are chosen with
reference to their bearing upon matters of common usefulness,
from these major topics:
Common forces
Fluids
Heat
Sound
Light
Electricity
CHEMISTRY
Six Weeks
The purpose of the course is to familiarize students with the
chemistry of such substances and processes as are common in everyday experience and important for us to !-:now.
The substances discussed are air, water, foods, fuels, clothing
materials, and products of the earth.
The processes discused are oxidation, combustion, explosion,
cleaning processes, fermentations.
NATURE STUDY
Eighteen Weeks
The work of the senior year is a course in nature study, designed to give teachers an interest in and a working knowledge of
natural phenomena in their surroundings. Some attention is also
paid to the need for informing them in certain matters of physical
geography that are not usually understood by our students. The
26
�subjects of the course include studies of the heavens; face of the
earth; climate and weather; minerals and natural resources; plants ,
with particular reference to trees; animals-such as flies and miceof which a general knowledge is desirable; and birds.
During this course each student is required to become familiar
with approximately twenty trees, rocks, constellations, and birds.
This they do largely on their own initiative, but tests are held at
stated times.
AGRICULTURE
The work in agriculture is intended to give students a knowledge of some elementary principles of agriculture. The emphasis
is rather upon the care of plants because some of the principles
involved are so universally applicable. The purpose is to prepare
teachers to give children an interest in the work of the farm and
some useful knowledge.
The following topics are included in the coursePlant life
Soil
Care of trees
Insect pests
Plant diseases
SOCIOLOGY
The course is divided into five large topics.
I.
Influences that effect the li fe of society m evolution;
geographic; psycho-physical; social.
2.
Social groups: differentiation of types ; races: characteristics; nationalities in Connecticut population ; institutions;
needs; problems.
3. Social pathology ;-causes, remedies, control; dependent, delinquent, deficient children: 'institutions and management of charities in Connecticut, Indiana, and European systems. Local sociological investigations.
27
�4. Vital statistics :-immigration; illiteracy; poverty;
pauperism, etc. Use of statistics in social progress and control.
5. Educational sociology :-Problems of citizen training;
training for economic, social, cultural, and political life; ideals
of democracy.
MUSIC
The course in music includes
I
a study of such elementary facts as should be known by
those who teach music;
2
a survey of work for the eight grades with emphasis on

to painting. Special emphasis is given to picture study. A
visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York city is
planned at the close of the course.
SEWING
1
The course in plain sewing includes practice in hand and machine work with instruction in the use of commercial patterns and
practice in making simple garments. At least three projects must
be complete during the Junior year. These have been planned, for
this year, to meet the requisitions for refugee garments, and have
included baby garments, children's dresses, and women's skirts.
SEWING
2
A more advanced course is planned to meet the needs of the
teacher in the elementary schools . It deals with the organization
and methods of teaching sewing for varying conditions of school
29
�systems. This course includes the study of textiles, production,
manufacture, identification and use. The advanced garment making
includes at least three finished problems, which may be a shirt
waist, and dresses of light cotton materials, or serge skirts.
30
�THE SCHOOL YEAIR
The normal school is in session the entire year except for
brief recesses between terms. The traditional year begins in September and ends 'in June. It includes thirty-six full weeks of five
days each, making the total length somewhat more than thirty-six
calendar weeks. Students regularly complete the course in two
such years.
Beginning this year the school has endeavored to provide for
those who wish to shorten their course, by maintaining a summer
term of its regular school work. This term begins with the usual
summer school ( page .40) and covers six weeks. By having longer
hours for classes and making the work intensive, it is possible <to
allow credit for this work equivalent to nine weeks of the usual
school year. Students entering in September and continuing
through this summer term may be able to complete their work nine
weeks ahead of the regular class-that is, early in April.
Students desiring to further economize their time may enter
the school at the beginning of its summer term in July, and continue
through the course without the usual vacation. These students will
do the work of the second summer term and may be entitled to
diplomas at the end of the first semester of the senior year, about
February first.
It is important that those desiring to enter in July should notify
the principal as early as possible, and not later than June 15. Classes
will not be formed in July unless the number of applicants is sufficient to warrant it.
31
�ADMISSION
The privileges of the school are open to all persons of suitable
character and over sixteen years of age, who declare their serious
intent to teach in the public schools of Connecticut, and who satisfy
any one of the conditions enumerated below.
r. Graduates of four year courses in Connecticut high schools
who have attained an average rank of at least 75% on a passing
mark of 70% are admitted on the certificate of the high school
principal. This rank is equivalent to 66.6% on a passing mark of
60%, 70.84% on a passing mark of 65%, and 79.16% on a passing
mark of 75%.
2
Graduates of four year courses in Connecticut high schools
who have not attained the rank stated above, may be admitted on
passing an examination prepared by the principals of all Connecticut normal schools acting as a board.
These examinations will be held at each of the four normal
schools on June 16 and September 2. The June examination
may also be given at any high school in the state upon application to
the principal of the normal school at least one week before the date
stated.
Candidates must offer ten units, in subjects as set forth below.
A unit represents one year's study of the subject in a secondary
school-approximately one-quarter of a year's work. The subjects
and values are as follows :
English literature and composition, required
The remaining seven units are to be chosen from these:
Algebra

INTENT TO TEACH
Particular attention is called to the requirement that all applicants for admi ss ion sign a written statement of their intention to
teach in the public schools of this state. It is undesirable that any
shall accept the prvileges of the school who do not feel that they
are working for this specific object.
TIME OF ENTRANCE
Classes are organized at the beginning of the first term in September, and at the opening of the summer term in July if the
minimum number of candidates appear (see page 31).
APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION
It is desirable that all who hope to enter the school should
make application to the principal in advance, stating the conditions
for entrance that they expect to satisfy.
It is especially important that those who expect to enter the
school at its summer term in July should make application to the
principal not later than June 15. Failure to do this may result in the
applicant's being refused admission at that time.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Persons who are properly qualified are occasionally admitted
as special students in certain subjects or departments of the school.
No comprehensive statement can be made in regard to tnis, as each
case must be separately considered. Those who desire to do such
special work should communicate with the principal.
33
�GENERAL INFORMATION
EXPENSES
The school makes no charge for tuition, laboratory fees , or the
use of books. All text books are provided by the school. Aside
from living expenses and travel, students have only the slight incidental costs of note books, pencils, etc.
Board and lodging at the dormitory are furnished at actual cost
of maintenance. It is necessary at present to ask $7.00 per week,
with a reduction for absence at week ends on the basis of fifteen
cents per meal. It is possible to get accommodation in private
houses at rates from $6.50 to $10.00.
LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
The dormitory is a new building, equipped with modern facilUnfortunately it can accommodate but twenty students.
Most of the boarding places are with families who can provide for
a small number of students. These are located in all parts of the
city. The minimum cost given above applies to cases where two or
three occupy a room and forego some conveniences.
·
ities.
It is of course important to arrange for lodging
coming if possible. Those who would like help in the
address the principal, stating as nearly as possible
accommodation they desire. The map of Danbury,
this catalogue, may be useful.

NON-RESIDENCE
Daily travel from a distance is wasteful and is sure to interfere
with the performance of a student's best work. It is earnestly desired that members of the school shall arrange to live in Danbury if
possible. Lack of dormitory facilities prevents this being made a
requirement. It is required, however, that during their periods of
34
�trammg all students shall observe the hours of attendance (8.15
a.m. to 4.30 p.m.) absolutely, and this makes commuting imprac-
ticable. All students who plan to commute should consult the training schedule on page 19.
SCHOLARSHIPS
An act of the state legislature, intended to secure trained
teachers for the smaller town s, provides scholarships whereby certain students may receive from the state the sum of $150 annually,
to be applied toward living expenses while at normal school. The
conditions under which such a scholarship may be awarded are
these:
The towns contemplated in the terms of this statute are those
having an assessed valuation (set by the state board of equalization) of not over one and one-half millions.
Each of such towns may at all times be represented by one
student in a normal school under the terms of this act.
The student must be recommended by the school board of such
a town.
Such a student must agree to teach in one of the towns described by this statute for three years following graduation unless
excused by the state board of education, except by repaying to the
state the whole of such portion of the scholarship as they shall
require.
The benefits of this scholarship shall be withdrawn from any
student whose work or conduct at the school fails to meet the
standards required by the faculty.
EMPLOYMENT
The school cannot guarantee employment to its graduates. Yet
it may be said, as a matter of fact, that there has not been a year
in its history when the demands upon the school for teachers were
not more numerous than the members of the graduating class.
Those of the class of 1918 went to positions where the salary for

��NOTES
FOR STUDENTS AND PARENT&
THE WORK
The normal school is a professional school with a definite purpose ; its students are assumed to know that purpose and to be
here with intent to work for its accomplishment. They should come
prepared to find methods and requirements that differ in some ways
from those of their previous experience. It is expected that each
student will try, from the outset, to do all her work faithfully-as
is fitting in those who are soon to assume a teacher's responsibility
for others.
STUDENT RESPONSIBIT.ITY
Particularly students are asked to assume responsibility for
their own welfare. They are expected to try and guage their own
work fairly and to confer with the several instructors from time to
time, especially if they have any reason to doubt whether they are
properly meeting requirements.
nTNESS FOR TEACHING
The faculty recognizes its inability to say who will and who
will not make a good teacher. Hence it is our policy to give ample
opportunity for demonstrating ability even to those who seem unprom1smg. Yet when the faculty as a whole becomes convinced
that a student is essentially not quafified for the position of a public
school teacher, the student is notified that she cannot be considered
a candidate for a diploma, and may be asked to withdraw. This is
regarded as but fair to the student, who may then direct her energies
into more suitable channels.
REPORTS
A full report of her standing is given to each student in writing
at the end of every semester. At such time the student will be
37
�notified also if there is any change in her status as a regular candidate for a diploma.
Parents who have not seen the student's report ·by February 15
and July I are requested to confer with the principal of the school.
Students and parents a re entitled to informal reports· at any
time and are invited to ask for them.
A TTENDANCE
Much of the work of school is of such a nature that it cannot
be "made up" by the customary method of outside conferences.
Absence from any part of the school work involves a loss of certain
credits from the student's rank in that course. Special consideration
is given by the faculty to cases of absence due to causes that meet
their app.roval.
Students at the normal school are required to be in their
appointed class rooms at 8.50 A.M. and 1.30 P.M. They are expected to remain in attendance and to be employed at school duties
until I 1.50 A.fyl. and 3.30 P.M., whether they have classes in session or not.
The hours for students in training are 8. 15 to 12.00 A.M. and
I.IO to 4.30 P.M. A student who needs special help may be required by the training teacher to remain until 4.45. Outside
preparation of work which the average student can satisfactorily
comp!ete in two hours is required. Any student who is unable to
complete her daily work in that time is expected to consult the
director of training.
OU TSIDE REGU LATIONS
Students who are living away from their homes are required to
observe the same rules and regulations as govern life at the dormitory.
38
�GYMNASIUM
Every student entering the school should be provided with a
gymnasium costume, consisting of black gymnasium or tennis shoes,
black stockings, black bloomers, and white middy blouse.
BULLETINS
Official announcements are posted on the bulletin board m the
corridor on the first floor. Members of the school are expected to
consult this daily.
STUDENT WELFARE
The principal is always glad to receive and confer with any
student upon matters concerning their work or welfare as members
of the school. In order to make such opportunity easily available,
a committee of the faculty is appointed also for the puropse. The
membership of this committee may be learned from the bulletin
board or by application at the office.
39

SUMMER SCHOOL
In order to make its plant as useful as possible the school has
maintained a summer session nearly every year since 1907.
Originally this session constituted a four weeks' course for
teachers and those who contemplated teaching without normal
training. This has always been well attended and is still the largest
department of the summer school.
During this summer school there have been also for several
years a two weeks' session of the state supervisors of schools and
a ten days' institute for librarians. The supervisors' meetings have
been under the direction of Mr Charles D Hine, secretary of the
state board of education, and the library institute has been in
charge of the state inspector of public libraries.
Three new departments were established m the summer of
1918, each of which proved so successful that it will doubtless be
cont'inued. These were the regular summer term for normal school
students (page 31), the department for high school teachers (page
43), and a department for teachers in evening schools for foreigners.
A folder giving details of the summer school is issued about
the first of June. Those desiring information may perhaps find
what they seek in the catalogue of the 1918 summer school, which
will be sent on request.

�HIGH SCHIOOL TEACHERS
This school has long felt that the work of state normal schools
should include provision for the preparation of high school teachers.
Its courses of professional instruction and the opportunity for experience with pupils under the supervision of competent teachers,
make its two-year course equal in value to the first two years of
college for those who contemplate high school teaching.
Several institutions of college grade at present accept the
diploma of this school as the equivalent of two years' work toward
certain of their degrees. Columbia, Brown, and Boston universities ,
:md the University of Maine will thus allow cred it for two years'
work under certan conditions. We look forward with confidence to
the time when Connecticut normal schools will be on a four-year
basis and grant degrees. At present there is no better preparation
for high school teaching than the two-year professional course at
normal school followed by two years of special subjects at one of
the universities named above.
This school is now making special provision for high school
teachers in one department at the summer session. This department offers a six weeks' course for teachers in secondary school
subjects, under instructors whose standing guarantees a high grade
of work and whose experience assures the practical value of their
courses. A circular describing this summer high school department
will be sent on application.
43
�ORPOIR TUNITY FOR TEACHERS
The best of teachers have always been drawn from the class
of those who are moved by the high ideal of human service with no
consideration of material compensation. Many who have never before thought of it have been aroused by the great deeds and sacrifices of a stricken world, to a desire that their own lives shall count
for something of genuine worth. All thoughtful people must now
as never before appreciate the important place of public education.
Russia, where popular ignorance has led to colossal ruin and misery
beyond all conception; Germany, whose system of public education,
closely controlled by a few, made a nation so powerful in blindly
doing the will of that few; and America with her free and equal
schools, whose whole resources are gathered by the peoeple's will
in defense of world liberty: we cannot think of these without a new
and deep respect for the place of public education. And as our
schools have now borne fruit in an enlightened nation capable of
meeting a great crisis, the need for their important work will by no
means end with the coming of peace. There is no work in the
world, in which women are employed for pay, that is more worthy
of her own best effort and the respect of others than that of a public
school teacher.
This school has never been able to supply the yearly demand for
its graduates. The present shortage of teachers adds a note of duty
to the call for those who would serve their country in the great work
of educating its citizens. With a deeper realization by the public of
the importance of our schools, which is even now beginning to show
results, it is confidently believed that the appeal to those who would
render service as teachers can be supplemented by the hope of
material attractions.

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
Pittsfield and from Poughkeepsie
to Willimantic,
besides
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 Avenue
and Balmforth Avenue, with rural schools at Miry Brook and
at Mill Plain.
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.
EQUIPMENT
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
scientific material, and excellent provision is made for art
work. A gymnasium furnishes opportunity for instruction in
games and other indoor exercise, while the grounds are suffi10

A residence

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 undersfood 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.
General and Academic Requirements
1. Be sixteen (16) years of age or over at the time of admission.
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 the 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). High School Form 12 should be completed
at the earliest possible date and sent to the Bureau of Academic Credentials,
State Board of Education, for validation. It will be forwarded from that
office to · the normal school principal.
4. Must offer evidence of having completed at least fifteen units of
work.*
5. Of the fifteen units prescribed at least ten must be taken from the
following list.
6. Not less than three from the same list must be taken in the senior
year.
7. Present satisfactory testimonials of moral character, and recom mendations and ratings of public school officials.
8. Present application to the principal of the normal school to which
entrance is sought.
9. Declare intention to teach in the public schools of the state.
10. Present self at the normal school on date and hour specified for such
examinations and interviews as may be prescribed.
* A "unit of work" constitutes the successful completion of prepared work taken at
least four periods per week for one year.
Unprepared work counts as one -half time.

B. Time of Examinations
and Presentation
of Credentials
All applicants for admission must present their applications properly certified to not later than the first day of June, 1930. All applicants will present
themselves at the normal school which they desire to enter at 8 :30 A. M.
( Standard Time) on Saturday, June 7, for the following: Mental Alertness
Test, General Information Test, and interview. Applications received after
June 1 and prior to August 1 will be considered only in the event that the
quota of students for admission to the normal school to which application is
made is not filled by acceptable candidates whose applications are received
by June 1.
The results of these tests and interviews will be used for the purpose of
enabling the normal school principal to make a proper selection of candidates
for admission from among those who meet the minimum conditions for
admission when more candidates apply than can be admitted to the normal
school.
C.
All applications for admission to the regular work of the Connecticm
state normal schools upon other terms than those specified in Sections A and
B must be made directly to the Commissioner of Education, Hartford,
Connecticut.
Application for Admission
Each candidate for admission to a Connecticut state normal school is
required to fill out an application blank (Normal School Form 1). After
this has been done and the necessary certification of high school graduation,
scholarship level and character has been made by the high school principal,
as provided for on page 2 of Normal School Form 1, the application must
14
�be sent to the principal of the normal school to which the candidate is an
applicant for entrance.
Copies of this form may be secured by application to the normal school
principals at Danbury, New Britain, New Haven and Willimantic, respectively .
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 sound in physical 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 under standing 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 hall at 10 :30.
Classes are organized and work is begun the opening clay
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 clay, and they suffer a proportionate
loss of
credit in each course.
Candidates appearing after the opening clay will be required to apply for admission to the Commissioner of Education at Hartford, even though their papers may have been
accepted.
REPORTS
Reports of each student's progress are sent quarterly at
the encl 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.
15
�GRADUATION
At the encl 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. haYe 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 two 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
an,
granted are clearly set forth in the statute which established
them, a copy of which is given below. Further information
may be had on application to the principal.
16
�Sec. 4, Chap. 213, Acts of 1929.-"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, for each town in the state having average annual receipts from taxation of thirty-nine
thousand dollars or less,
upon the recommendation
of the board of education of such
town; and , for students admitted to said schools under the
provisions of this section, living expenses, not to exceed three
hundred dollars for each pupil in any one year, shall be provided by said state board of education free of charge.
Each
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 healh or dismissal by the school authorities, and
to teach in a one or two teacher school in one of the towns
from which such students are nominated or appointed for a
period of two years after graduation unless excused by the
state board of education."
EXPENSES
'
The school makes no charge for tmtton, 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 clean 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 ad va nce. This includes board 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
17
�from those whose applications for dormitory reservations are
received before June first. All who intend to enter the school
and desire to live at the hall should write to us for an application blank before the midd le 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 $240 for
the school year, 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 1930-31, the daily
school begins at 8 :40 and
from 12 :06 to 1 :15. During
students are at the school
to 4 :15. Class periods are
schedule of classes in the normal
ends at 3 :49, with an intermission
training periods (see page 35) the
from 8 :15 to 12 :00 and from 1 :15
each 50 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, students, and outside speakers are frequent.
Assem bly 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.
18
�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
b~llot by the entire association;
the other councillors 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 chartered 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 pos sible in their hands.
Other extra -curriculum activities include certain social
functions, some of which are traditional and some spontan eous, tournaments in tennis, basket ball and other sports, skating, hiking and picnics. The senior class prepares and pub lishes 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 curricu lum, 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.
19
�STUDENT
WELFARE
lt 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
shown the highest general excellence.
In June, 1929, these
medals were awarded as follows: for scholarship, Frances A.
Fleming of Danbury; for general excellence, Grace M. Collins
of Norwalk.
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 giye specific help to those of its
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.
20
�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 and under the auspices of the Connecticut
University Extension Committee.

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.

Health and Physical
Education
This course aims to prepare teachers to carry out a well
organized program of health and physical education in elementary schools.
Instruction is given in the subject matter
underlying a proper presentation of personal and community
hygiene. Attention is given to conditions and influences tending to impair the health of school children and to means for
preventing or improving these conditions.
The importance
of a close coordination of the health instruction with the physical activities program is stressed.
Instruction
is given in
the proper organization
of the physical activities program.
The Connecticut Manual of Physical Education for Elementary
Grades and Health Education Bulletins I-VI I will be used as guides
in this aspect of the course.
There will be frequent demonstration lessons.

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 st.andards 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.

The music courses in the normal school are designed to inculcate an appreciation of good music and to impart the knowledge and develop the ability necessary to teach music courses
in the elementary schools.
Students are taught the fundamentals of reading music and of singing in a pleasant voice.
Instruction is given in music appreciation, the teaching of rote
songs and type lessons in music, melody writing and leading
choral singing.
The courses are supplemented by such out33
�side act1v1ties as making a rote song book, forming
club, or preparation of an operetta.

Handwriting
This course has two principal objectives: (1) to provide an
opportunity for students to improve their own handwriting
ability, both on manuscript and on the blackboard; (2) to give
instruction in appro ved methods of teaching writing to children. It is expected in connection with this course that students will bring their own writing up to a standard of 80 on
the Ayres Handwriting
Scale for both manuscript and blackboard writing.
The style of writing shall conform to that in
use in the practice schools.

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 town of Danbury, which is under normal school
administration.
Sixteen of these are at Balmforth A venue
school and ten at Locust A venue school. The rural schools
at Mill Plain 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 training is in charge of the director of training .
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 nineteen 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
34
�should reach in each period are here given as they are planned
for 1930-31, though this is subject to change.

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 sur roundings in the classroom; as the amount of teaching is increased, these duties are correspondingly
diminished.
Each student spends a portion of every clay 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
35
�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
look for-such
as method of gaining 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
notes 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 1930 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.

�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

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.
Junior training
includes attention to the mechanics of teaching observation
and independent teaching, with about equal emphasis.

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.
