The act states the purposes for which this institution was founded to be "the instruction of persons, both male and female, in the art of teaching, and in all the various branches that pertain to a good common school education; also to give instruction in mechanical arts and in nusbandry and agricultural chemistry, in the fundamental laws of the United States and in what regards the rights and duties of citizens." LOCATION Tempe is a thriving town of 2500 inhabitants, disunt only twenty minutes' ride from Phoenix, the capital -Of Arizona, with which it is connected by an automobile stage line giving prompt and efficient service. Lying near the center of population of the state, Tempe is conveniently reached by rail over the Arizona Eastern, which· gives direct connection with the main lines of the .8outhern Pacific and Santa Fe systems, thus bringing even the most distant counties within from eight to twenty hours' journey. The convenient railway connections are. appreciated by those students who desire to make the most of their holiday vacations. One of the main state highways passes through the town, skirting the ~~ of the campus. The streets are paved and lined With shade trees. The water supply, coming from deep wells, is ample and of excellent quality. The town is 2 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA situated in the midst of the Salt River Valley, whose fertile fields surround it, delighting the eye with their perpetual verdure and insuring an unfailing supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. The climate during the whole year is not only delightful, but wholesome and conducive to study. Snow is unknown and outdoor athletics and field excursions are carried on throughout the year. Parents will derive satisfaction from the knowledge that the moral and social atmosphere is all that could be desired. The residents of the community are thrifty and industrious Americans, most of whom have come hither from the middle and eastern states. These people are actively interested in the welfare of the Normal School and pride themselves upon surrounding the students with wholesome influences. The absence of the distractions of a large city is a distinct advantage to the student who wishes to make the most of his time and opportunities. The surrounding country offers a world of attractions to those who enjoy the pleasures of walking or driving in the open country. The Papago-Sahuaro National Park lies just across the river, and in its 2,000 acres the natural features and characteristic vegetation of the desert are preserved. This tract is the goal of numerous "hikes" and picnic parties during the school year. Granite Reef, a few miles to the east, is a favorite resort for week-end camping parties. THE CAMPUS Few schools in the country have a more attractive setting than Tempe Normal School. The campus comprises thirty acres of fine level land within convenient walking distance of the business portion of the town, and is arranged in a most attractive manner, with broad, shady lawns, cement walks and graveled drives and a profusion of trees, shrubs and flowers. The fourteen buildings are distributed over the grounds in two groups, between which extends the Willow avenue drive, flanked by double rows of thrifty elms. In the distance one lo?ks out toward the mountains, with their ever-changmg lights and shadows and wonderful coloring. These beautiful surroundings constitute an important factor in making the Normal School a real home to the students _during their sojourn. Portions of the lawn are specially STATE NoRl\oIAL SCHOOL OF AruzoNA 3 arranged for lighting and are at the disposal of the students for class parties, receptions, and other social functions which derive much of their charm from being held in the open. Ample facilities for outdoor recreation are provided in numerous well-kept tennis courts of cement concrete, screened basketball courts, athletic field, running track and baseball diamond. A commodious covered amphitheater accommodates spectators at athletic events. Extensive school gardens afford the necessary training for the students in agriculture, and at the same time provide fresh vegetables for the dining hall. A tract of fifty acres immediately adjoining the campus is equipped as a model farm, thus affording ample opportunity, close at hand, for experimental and practical work in all lines of agriculture. BUILDINGS The original group of buildings of red brick and stone has grown up with the main building as a center and encloses on three sides the Quadrangle of green lawn, having in its center a fountain in which pond lilies may be seen in blossom during the greater part of the year. On the west side of the main drive is a more recent group of buildings in cream-colored pressed brick, the tone of which blends harmoniously with the landscape. The dominant note in this late group is the Industrial Arts Building, with its imposing lines and dignified proportions. The arrangement of both groups is both sightly and convenient. The early traditions of Tempe Normal School cluster about the Main Building, with its three stories of ivycovered red brick, which, for many years after its founding in 1894, was the scene of nearly all student activities. With the growth of the institution, one department after a.nother has been separately housed until at the present time this parent building is devoted chiefly to classrooms for the academic work. The kindergarten department occupies a portion of the first floor, which also contains the armory. The east half of the main floor contains the main library, with its 14,000 volumes, and with reading tables to seat over a hundred at a time. The main corridor of this building is one of the points of interest to re- 4 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA turning alumni, for here are the cases of military and athletic trophies reminiscent of bygone days, and the photographs of the various graduating classes in which one may trace the recurring cycles of fashion in dress and coiffure. Facing the Quadrangle on the east is the Science Hall, a commodious two-story structure which at present houses the administrative offices of the President and Secretary of the faculty. The remainder of the first floor is occupied by the laboratories of physics and chemistry, which are situated on either side of a common lecture room and are well supplied with all apparatus for demonstration as well as for individual students' work. Improved types of laboratory tables are installed and equipped with gas, water and electric current. The lecture room is fitted with an excellent apparatus for projection, a motor generator for demonstration currents, storage batteries and many other facilities for lecture work. Stock rooms and a photographic dark room are also located here. On the second floor are the laboratories for biology, physiology and geography. The equipment of these laboratories includes an excellent outfit of microscopes, microtomes, paraffin baths and either accessories and a good collection of working· material. The lecture room is centrally located and is fitted with projection apparatus. There is a good working equipment for the study of bacteriology and microbiology. A room on this floor is devoted to a growing museum collection of material representative of the fauna and flora of Arizona and its mineral resources. On the side of the Quadrangle opposite the Science Hall is the Auditorium, a building 72x100 feet, which has recently undergone a thorough reconstruction, with improvements which make it one of the best structures of the kind in the state. The main auditorium seats nearly one thousand persons, and is designed with especial attention to its acoustic properties, which are excellent. A forty-foot stage with ample depth is equipped with a complete set of modern scenery and with stock properties sufficient to stage dramatic work of a high order. School organizations are thus enabled to develop their dramatic talent under very favorable circumstances, and the school management is enabled to bring each year to the student body and the people of Tempe a course STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA 5 of lectures and entertainments of the best class. The auditorium further serves to bring together in the weekly assemblies the entire student body and the faculty for a mutual exchange of ideas to the betterment of the efficiency of the institution. The lower floor of this building is a well-appointed gymnasium, with the usual apparatus, dressing rooms, lockers and shower baths. The Training School is located close to and south of the central group. It has a floor space 120x136 feet and contains two offices, eleven classrooms and a large double assembly, all on one floor. The classrooms are so arranged that easy access is had from each to the assembly. A notable feature is the lighting and ventilation of all the rooms. The heating of the building is accomplished by a plenum system with positive fan-driven circulation of air. The play activities of the pupils are carried on under the supervision of the teachers. There is a separate playground with special equipment for this school, there is a library of over 1500 volumes suited to the work of the grades, two pianos, a grafanola and apparatus for projection. The new Dining Hall, erected in 1920, is in a central location, convenient to all dormitories. This is a thoroughly modern building and embodies in its construction the latest ideas with regard to sanitation, lighting and ventilation. The kitchen is large and airy and well lighted. A large range, two steam cookers and a charcoal broiler are provided, and modern types of laborsaving machinery are installed. One of the most satisfactory of these devices is the steam dishwasher which enables two persons to take care of all the dishes from a meal in a very few minutes and leaves the dishes in a thoroughly sanitary condition. The bakery is a model of its kind with electrically driven machinery for mixing cake and for kneading bread. The brick oven, one of the finest in the state, has a capacity of 250 loaves. There is a refrigerating and cold storage plant of ample capacity and late design. The chilling room and cold room are protected by cork insulation, and the operation of the refrigerating apparatus is entirely automatic. This equipment enables the steward to buy and store meats and other perishable foodstuffs in large quantities which advantage is an important factor in the low cost of board. The food furnished to students and faculty mem- 6 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA bers alike is carefully selected and properly prepared. Everything that the market affords in the way of fresh fruits, vegetables and meats, and all that the culinary art can provide is made to contribute to a menu which is wholesome and suitably varied. The dining room is under the supervision of a specially trained matron, who is responsible for the cleanliness and efficiency of the service. · The Hospital is located in a suitable section of the campus north of the President's residence. It is a fireproof structure of concrete with properly equipped examination rooms, operating rooms, girls' ward, boys' ward, isolation ward, nurses' suite and every other essential feature contributing to the proper care of those cases of illness which cannot be handled effectively in the dormitories. The addition of this building to the system greatly facilitates administration, enabling the management to provide suitable care for the inevitable cases of sickness which must occur annually among so large a body of students. The President's Residence is a substantial two-story brick structure completing the plan of the main group of buildings and is pleasantly located within a convenient distance of the administrative offices. Adjoining it on the west is a beautiful lawn which is provided with electric lights and is the scene of many of the social events of the year, such as receptions, parties, class meetings, literary society gatherings and alumni reunions. The building supon the western half of the campus form a distinct group, conveniently located and harmonizing in color and architectural design. Prominent among them is the home of the industrial arts, a modern, fireproof building of concrete construction, faced with cream pressed brick. Upon the main floor, to the left of the reentering court, one finds the offices, the literary and drafting rooms of the department of manual arts. In the rear of these are the spacious wood shops and the pat. tern room, all equipped with first-class woodworking, machinery of the most approved design. A large lecture hall in the center is provided with projection apparatus and means for darkening the windows for use of lantern illustrations in the day time. Next in order are the ma· chine shops of the metal-working department, with a L STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA 7 full complement of lathes, shapers, milling machines and drill presses. The front portion on this floor, to the right of the main entrance, is occupied by the department of commerce, with rooms for typewriting and shorthand classes and multigraph practice. The basement floor contains the foundry and forge shop and a fully equipped shop for work in sheet metal. The agricultural classes are accommodated in one wing of this floor and there are also large rooms for the storage of raw materials. Upon the third floor are located the art department and the department of home economics. The latter department occupies the south half with carefully planned arrangement of rooms for sewing, pattern drafting, fitting, machine sewing, laundry work and cookery. The cooking laboratory is one of the most thoroughly up to date and is provided with every convenience the most exacting housewife could desire. The quarters of the art department are equally well planned, including the offices of the instructor, two large and fully appointed studios, modeling room, glazing room and kiln room for work in ceramics. DORMITORIES There is scarcely any phase of the school life which has a greater influence in broadening the views of the student and developing his sympathies and his understanding of human nature than the experience of living in a school dormitory along with others from various parts of the country and from various walks in life, all brought together by a common interest. The young man or young woman who lacks this experience has missed a valuable means of adjustment to human society. Recognizing the importance of this fact, the management of the Tempe Normal School has taken great pains with the development of the present system of student dormitories, which in many respects are models of their kind. The facilities provided in all these buildings are practically uniform. All rooms are provided with electric light, steam heat and hydrant water, and all are completely furnished, even to the towels and linen. Bathrooms are conveniently placed upon every floor, and every attention has been paid to the details of sanitation. Provision is made by means of ample screened sleeping porches that all students may sleep in the open air the whole year round. All the dormitories are periodically 8 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA fumigated in a thorough and scientific manner. The ben<>ficial effect of these precautions, together with insistence upon regularity in the matters of eating and sleeping, are shown by the general good health of the student body. The most recent of these buildings is the young men's dormitory, recently completed, in the plot south of the Arts Building. This is a thoroughly modern structure of concrete, faced with cream pressed brick. The sleeping porches are of a new design, each adapted to accommodate four young men, that is, one sleeping bay to every two rooms. This arrangement is believed to possess advantages, many of which are obvious. One of the most attractive features of this building is the large and well lighted recreation room. Living quarters are provided for the head resident, who is a member of the faculty and who exercises supervision over the young men at all times. East Hall, a dormitory for young women, comfort.. ably accommodates one hundred thirty-five studentl! under the supervision of a head resident, who lives in the building. In addition to the standard students' !iv· ing rooms and the large sleeping porches, this dormitory furnishes a completely equipped room for the free use of those students who desire to do part or all of their own laundry work. There are also two large parlors, with piano, and broad shady verandas are welcome in the students' leisure hours. South Hall, and North Hall, both for young women, are situated in the west half of the campus, directly opposite East Hall. These buildings are the two completed units of a projected group of six which are to be constructed as the needs of the school demand. Each of these halls accommodates thirty-four students, under the care of a head resident, and with the smaller number of occupants and consequent nearer approach to homelike conditions, these units present the ideal of dormitory design. HEATING SYSTEM All buildings on the campus are heated by steam from a central heating plant located west of the Arts Building. The boiler house conforms, in its architectural features with the other buildings of the western group. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF AruzONA 9 Two powerful boilers furnish the steam for the system of tunnels which distribute the supply pipes to all buildings on the campus. This system of concrete tunnels will eventually carry all electric wiring of the lighting, telephone and power systems underground, thus removing from view all wires which are, of necessity, more or less unsightly. A third boiler supplies hot water under pressure to all buildings, thus effecting a considerable economy in fuel. EXPENSES OF STUDENTS Dormitory Fees: A fee of $25 per calendar month, payable monthly in advance, is required of all students residing in the dormitories. (No allowance can be made for vacations, absences over week-ends, or absence due to diciplinary action, but students who are absent for two weeks or more for unavoidable reasons will be charged but half rate for such absence.) This fee entitles the student to board and room, including light, heat, and the use of bedding and linen. All rooms are fully furnished. Board and room may be secured, with the approval of the faculty, in private families in Tempe at from $36 to $40 per month. For the accommodation of faculty members and local students meal tickets will be furnished at the rate of 20 meals for $8.00. Visitors taking meals at the dining hall will be charged at the rate of forty cents per meal. Dormitory students, in case of ordinary illness, will be taken care of at the school hospital. The services of a physician and a nurse will be furnished free except in extraordinary cases requiring surgical operation. Deposit: Dormitory students are required to deposit $5.00 before taking possession of a room. This amount will be refunded at the close of the year, less such charges as may be made for careless destruction or damage to dormitory furniture and equipment. Registration Fee: All stttdents are required to pay an annual registration fee of $5.00, to be paid in advance on date of registration. This fund is used for special purposes for the benefit of the students. Among other items, it covers a year's subscription to the Tempe 10 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF AruzONA Normal Student, a season ticket to the Lyceum Course, and free admission to all scheduled games and athletic contests held on the campus. Tuition: Tuition is free to all students who enter the Normal School with the intention of completing the work leading to graduation in any of the professional courses. Students entering the school shall, if required to d() so, furnish a health certificate from a physician appointed by the Normal School, and must pursue successfully the full amount of work required of students in any of the courses. Text Books: The necessary outlay for books and stationery varies from $10 to $15 per year. Examination paper, pens, ink, pencils, and the like are furnished the students without expense. Military Uniform and Gymnasium Costume: The cost of these articles varies somewhat with the taste and preference of the student. The gymnasium costume usually costs from three to four dollars, and the style is fixed by conference with the director. The style of military uniform conforms to the regulations of the United States Army, but the quality is fixed by vote of the company, and costs usually in the neighborhood of twenty dollars. It should be noted that, as the uniform is worn four days in the week, it easily saves the cost of at least one civilian suit during the year, and therefore is hardly to be considered an extra expense. Attention of prospective students is invited to the fact that the State of Arizona provides the advantages of a first-class education at an expense to the student not greatly in advance of that incurred by the average young man or woman at home. This, together with the fact that there is in Arizona a constantly increasing demand for well-trained teachers, is worthy of thoughtful consideration by those who, having completed the work of the high school, are contemplating the continuation of their education along professional lines. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARlzONA 11 GOVERNMENT OF STUDENTS Students who come from homes outside of Tempe or who are not so situated as to be able to make their homes with relatives in Tempe, are advised to live in the dormitories. Students desiring to engage room and board outside of dormitories, must first obtain written approval from the office, and such students must further agree to observe the faculty regulations for the government of dormitory students. Students entering the dormitories may not leave them to board or room outside until a written or personal request is made by the parent or guardian directly to the President. The right to change the boarding or rooming place of a student on the outside is reserved by the faculty when such place is not satisfactory or doe3 not co-operate in enforcing the regulations of the school. It is the judgment of the faculty that the environment of all students entrusted to their care should be the best, and it is with this end in view that regulations are made as to the conduct of the students both on and off the campus. It is understood always that when a 3tudent cannot and does not conform to the rules laid down for the welfare of the school such student will be asked to withdraw from the institution. TEACHER TRAINING The activities of a normal school naturally are grouped about the training school as the logical center of interest. Since the primary aim of the school is the preparation of efficient teachers, all courses are planned with this end in view, and finally in the training school, the senior student finds opportunity to apply the principles of pedagogy in actual school-room experience under competent and sympathetic supervision. Tempe Normal School is fortunate in having developed a fully equipped training school comprising all grades from the kindergarten through the junior high school. The number of pupils in attendance is ample to give the required number of classes for observation and teaching through the senior year of the teachers' course. The corps of experienced supervisors is thoroughly trained to give the most efficient direction to this essential phase of teacher training. Shops and laboratories afford facilities for the 12 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA teaching of manual training and home economics in the grades so that those who are following the special courses may enjoy the benefits of actual teaching of their special subjects. Under these favorable circumstances, the prospective teacher gains the poise and confidence which will lead to future success, and, at the same time, the pupils have the advantage of securing an education under a system which compares favorably with that of the best city schools. The Normal School operate two rural schools in adjoining districts. Student teachers are furnished daily transportation to and from these schools and thereby are enabled to meet and study the peculiar problems of rural education under the same kind of efficient direction as prevails in the central training school on the campus. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS Applicants for admission to the Normal School must present a certified transcript of the work done in their high school course. This must show the character of the work done, as well as the number of weeks devoted to each subject and the number of hours of work per week. This transcript must be furnished for the information of the credit committee, even though the applicant for admission is a graduate of a high school course, and it must be presented at or before the time of registration. If, for any reason, this transcript is not available at the time of registration, the credit committee may extend the time for filing same, if it seems advisable, but this extension of time shall, in no case, exceed thirty days after the date of registration. If any student fail to file the transcript within the thirty days specified, such student shall be suspended from all class work until such time as the necessary credentials are accepted and placed on file. Blank forms for transcripts of record will be supplied to prospective students upon request addressed to the office. Students who are unable to furnish an abstract of preparatory work will be required to pass such examination as the faculty may prescribe in each individual case. Admission for High School Graduates: The twoyear teachers' courses are open to graduates from high schools maintaining a full four-year course and conform- STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA 13 ing to the academic requirements of this normal school. These two-year courses are designed to qualify teachers either for work in the grades, from the first to the tenth, inclusive, or for· work as special teachers or supervisors, in the grades and junior high school, as will be explained in detail under the heading devoted to courses of study. Graduates from these teachers' courses receive a diploma which entitles the holders to certificates to teach in the public schools of Arizona, and other states, and which is generally accepted for from one and a half to two years' credit upon a university or college course. Admission to Advanced Standing: Applicants for advanced standing in the Normal School must convince the faculty that their preparation for any particular subject has been sufficiently thorough to enable them to pursue it profitably. This preparation may be shown either by an examination, by class records in the Normal School, or by the certificate of accredited schools. All such applicants must file an abstract of previous work, as explained above.
