ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE
By an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Arizona,
approved March 10, 1885, provision was made for the establishment of a Normal School at Tempe, Arizona. 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 husbandry and
agricultural chemistry, in the fundamental laws oi the
United States and in what regards the rights and duties
of citizens."
LOCATION
It would be difficult to find a location for a school of
this kind more favorable than Tempe, a town of 1,800 inhabitants, distant only twenty minutes' ride from Phoenix,
the capital of Arizona. Lying near the center of population
of the state, Tempe is conviently reached by rail over the
Arizona Eastern, which gives direct connection with the
main lines of the Southern 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 vaca.tions. The fertile
fields of the Salt River Valley surround the town, delighting the eye with their perpetual verdure and insuring an
unfailing supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. The climate
during the whole school 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

4

TEMPE KORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

~esired: The resi.dents of the community are thrifty and
1ndustr1ous Americans, most of whom have come hither
from the middle and eastern states. 1'hese people are
actively interested in the welfare of the Normal School and
pride themselves upon surrounding the students \.vith
wholesome influences.

As the sale of liquors is prohibited in Tempe and the
surrounding districts, the undesirable influence of the saloon is entirely eliminated.
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 CAMPUS

The campus is one of the most beautiful spots in the
state. It 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 \valks and gravelled drives,
and a profusion of trees, shrubs and flowers. Ten substantial buildings are well distributed over the grounds,
and to the picture one must add the view of the distant
mountains vvith their ever-changing lights and shadows and
wonderful coloring. Ample facilities for outdoor recreation
are provided ln nt11nerous tennis courts of approved construction, basketball courts, athletic field, running track,
and baseball diamond. The school gardens afford the
necessary training for the students in agriculture, and at
the same time provide fresh vegetables for the table.

MAIN BUILDING
There is a central group comprising the main building,
science hall, and auditorium which enclose a quadrangle of
greensward in the center of which is a fountain containing
various water plants. The first named of these buildings,
which are all of red brick and stone, was erected in 1894.
Its three stories give ample space for lecture rooms for the
academic subjects, a large assembly hall with a seating capacity of three hundred and a library capable of housing
ten thousand volumes and seating a hundred readers. The
building is well lighted and ventilated and supplied with
sanitary drinking fountains on each floor. VVorks of art,
trophy cases and pictures, the gifts of the several graduating classes, adorn the halls. The basement has several
large rooms which are now used by the departments of
manual arts and home economics, the student paper and
the armory.

SCIENCE HALL
One of the newest and best equipped buildings on the
campus is the science hall, 92x70 feet, a commodious twostory structure. It provides on the first floor to the right
and left of the entrance three large well-appointed rooms
for the offices of the principal and secretary of the faculty.
The rest of the floor is given up to the laboratories for
physical, chemical and earth sciences. The laboratory for
physiography and geography is very fully equipped with
maps, charts, modelling tables, relief models, etc. A thermometer shelter containing a thermograph and a full set
of thermometers is located close by on the campus.
The laboratories for chemistry and physics are
spacious and well supplied with all the necessary apparatus including side tables, sinks and special apparatus for
distilling water. Each table is equipped with gas, elec-

6

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

tricity and water. Bet\veen these rooms is a lecture theatre
fitted with a projection lantern, electric generator, switchboard for control of de1nonstration currents, draft chambers and deinonstration table. There are other small
rooms devoted to photographic \vork, repair work and
storage of stock.
The laboratories for biology and physiology are situated on the second floor. They have besides the necessary
equipment for \VOrk in those sciences a large aquarium for
the collection and preservation of specimens for class use,
a projection lantern with microscopic attachments, a microtome and paraffin bath for the preparation and mounting of microscopic slides and a centrifuge for analysis of
liquids. There is also a special laboratory for the instructor and a room for photographic work.
The art department occupies the northern half of this
floor in order that advantage may be taken of the northern
light. There are t\VO large drawing rooms, each seating
about twenty-five, and a storage room.
There is also on this floor a inuseum with a working
collection representative of the fauna and flora of Arizona
and of its mineral resources.

AUDITORIUM AND GYMNASIUM
The auditorium. 72xl00 feet, is by far the best of its
kind in the state. With a balcony it has a seating capacity
of one thousand. The acoustic properties, the means of
ventilating, heating and emptying the building are every~
thing that can he desired. The stage and stage properties
are of the best and enable the school to stage the largest
companies that come to the valley. The school and the
community are treated each year· to a number of high class
entertainnlents that bring to us some of the best talent on
the stage and platform today.
'f'he gyn1na::;;iu1n is fitted up with the usual apparatus,
lockers, dressing-roo111s and shower baths. Two galleries
provide seating capacity for tvvo hundred, while as many
n1ore can be ~cated on the floor of the gymnasium. An
exhibition of the \York of the several classes is given every
year dt\ring com1ne11cement week.

TRAINING SCHOOL
This building is located close to and south of the central group. It has a floor space of 120xl36 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
marked feature is the lighting and ventilation of all the
rooms. 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. Besides
the usual furniture of the school there is a library of over
500 volumes suited to the work of the grades, two pianos.
a grafanola and a reflectoscope.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS BUILDING
This building, 130x135, will be three stories, including
a basement, and constructed of concrete, faced with cream
pressed brick. The lower or main floor will be taken up
entirely with the manual arts. On the left of the re-entering court will be the office and library and draughting
room. Behind these will be placed the lumber supply
room, wood shop, pattern shop, and machine room. On
the left of the court there will be rooms for textiles, book
binding and printing, finishing wood work and a lecture
theatre. The upper floor will be devoted to the work in
home economics and in art. The former department includes
an office, two sewing rooms, a fitting room, domestic
science room, a laundry and a suite of housekeeping rooms.
On the north side of this floor are to be placed the
rooms of the art department. They will include two drawing rooms, clay modeling and glazing and casting rooms
and the office of the instructor.
The basement will provide for work in sheet-metal,
forging and foundry. There will be an incline drive
through the basement for the convenience of handling
heavy materials. The building will have an elevator convenient to this driveway and running to the upper
floor.

DORMITORIES
These buildings are models of comfort and attractiveness. The boys' dormitory is a two-story structure with

8

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

basement. Baths and toilets are provided on each floor.
There are in all about twenty rooms, each intended to accommodate two students. Each room is furnished with
two beds, bedding, hot and cold water, electric and steam
heat. A large sleeping porch, which will allow all of the
boys to sleep outdoors, has been added recently. A member of the faculty is always placed in charge of this buildmg.
The main dormitory for the girls 'vill accommodate
about 135, with two in each room. The rooms are fitted
up similarly to those of the boys' dormitory. In addition,
the girls have the use of two large parlors and a sitting
room. A piano is also provided for their entertainment.
This building has an unusually large sleeping porch two
stories high and running around an open court on the
east side. Most of the girls use the porch during the entire year. Across the way and west of the present dormi
tory a group, consisting of five units, arranged around a
patio, will be erected in the near future to meet the grow
ing needs for accommodation of the girls. Each unit will
house about thirty five, and will be furnished after the
same style as the main dormitory. E:>..perienced precep
tresses are in charge of each building to look after the
comfort and needs of the girls in every way.

DINING HALL
Situated very conveniently to the dormitories is the
dining hall. It has a seating capacity of two hundred and
is particularly for non resident student~. Everything that
the market affords in the 'vay of fresh fruits, vegetables
and meab and all that the culinary art can provide is fur
nished to students and members of the faculty alike. It is
in charge of a specially trained 1natron, who is responsible
for the cleanliness and efficiency of the service.

THE PRINCIPAL'S RESIDENCE
This is a substantial two-story brick ~trncture, har
tnonizing well '' ith the general plan of the building group.
It is situated near the main group and has splendid views
from all sides,

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

HEATING SYSTEM
All the buildings are heated by steam heat furnished
by a central heating plant provided with boilers having a
combined capacity of one hundred and eighty horsepower.

EXPENSES OF STUDENTS
DORMITORIES-Board, room, light, heat, etc., are
furnished for $17.75 per school month for four weeks, payable monthly in advance. (No allowance for vacations
during term or absence over week ends).
REGISTRATION FEE-All students of the Normal
School are subject to an annual fee of $5.00, payable when
they register for the year. This fee is not required of
pupils in the Training School.
TUITION-Tuition is free to all students who enter
the Normal with the intention of completing the work
leading to graduation in either the professional or the
academic course. A fee of $5 per quarter, payable in advance, is due from all students who desire to engage in
work of a special or irregular nature without intention of
completing either a professional or an academic course.

No back tuition is collected from students who, having
begun work in good faith with the intention of completing
a course, are, for some unforseen reason, prevented from

carrying out their intention.
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

thre~

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 is usually between fifteen and twenty
dollars. It should be noted that, as the uniform is worn

10

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

three days in the ""eek, it easily saves the cost of at least
one civilian suit during the year, and therefore is hardly
to be considered an extra expense.

It will be noted from the foregoing 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 n1an or 'voman at home.
This, together with the fact that there is in Arizona a constantly increasing demand for \vell trained teachers, is
worthy of thoughtful consideration by those who, having
completed the work of the public school or the high school,
are contemplating the continuation of their education
along academic or professional lines.

GOVERNMENT OF STUDENTS
Student' who come from places outside of Tempe and
'vho do not get homes 'vith relatives are required to live
in the dormitories. Exception is made in two cases only:
first, students who are working their way through school
are allowed to live with families with whom they find employment; ~econd, those who wish to go home over week
ends may live outside of the dormitory, but only on special vote of the faculty. It is the judgment of the faculty
that the environment of all the students entrusted to their
care should be the very best, and it is with this end in
view that strict regulations are made as to the conduct of
the students both on and off the campus. It is understood
always that when a student cannot and does not conforn1
to the rules laid down for the welfare of the school such
student will be asked to withdraw from the institution.

CORRESPONDENCE
Any information regarding studies, credits, expenses.
etc., and requests for catalogues and announcements
should be directed to the office of the Principal, Tempe
Normal School, Tempe, Arizona. Those who contemplate
attending the Normal School should communicate with
the Principal, advising h11n as to the exact time of their
prospect!\ e arrival, in order that they may be met at the
train. In case incoming students find no one at the station to meet them, they should proceed directly to the

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

11

Normal, where they will be taken care of at the office
of the Principal.
DEPARTMENTS

The school is organized into two departments, the
Normal School and the Training School. The Normal
School offers three courses: a five-year course to those
who have completed the eighth grade of the public school,
a two-year course to those who have finished a four-year
high school course, and a four-year academic course to
those who do not expect to become teachers, and who,
therefore, do not desire to pursue a professional course.

The Training School is primarily intended to give the
Senior class of the Normal School actual experience in
teaching under the supervision and advice of trained critic
teachers. The course includes the eight grades of the public school course for Arizona, and articulates directly with
the first year of the Normal course; thus a pupil entering
the first grade of the Training School may continue his
education without interruption, to the completion of his
Normal or academic work and the reception of his diploma.
Students not fully prepared to enter the work of the Normal School may find it to their advantage to complete their
preparatory work in the Training School.

.Allmisstnu null ~rnllunttnn
ADMISSION TO NORMAL-Candidates for admission to the Normal department will be required to pass a
satisfactory exa1nination. Certificates from an accredited
grammar school or recommendations from teachers will
be accepted in lieu of such parts of this examination as the
faculty may decide.

Graduates from high schools maintaining a four years'
High School course will be admitted to a special two-years'
course. Graduates fron1 such a course \vill receive a diploma which will not only entitle them to teach for life in
the public schoob of Arizona and California and other
states, but \vill entitle then1 to at least one year's credit on
a university course.
TIME OF ADMISSION Students will find it greatly to their advantage to enter the Normal at the beginning
of each se1nester; but they v.1ill be admitted at any time,
subject to the above restriction.

and examination. Examinations are written or oral and
are conducted by the instructors in charge of the several
subjects. Examinations are held at irregular intervals,
generally without notice, and occupy only the legnth of
the usual recitation period.
A student who satisfactorily completes a subject is
assigned a grade of 75 or above. A student who is conditioned in a subject receives, for that work, a grade of
70, while a grade below 70 indicates failure and requires
a repetition of the work in question.
A quarterly report is made to every student showing
his standing in each subject studied, and a copy of this
report is forwarded to the parent or guardian.

COURSE OF STUDY
REGULATIONS OF STATE BOARD-In conformity with the law requiring the normal schools of Arizona to maintain uniform courses of study to be approved
by the State Board of Education, the following regulations
were approved by said Board of Education:
1. The length of the school year shall be thirty-eight
(38) weeks, exclusive of summer school.

14

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

2. There shall be two regular courses of study leading to graduation for the purpose of securing a diploma
to teach in the schools of this state.
(a) A minimum course of five years for graduates
from the eighth grade of the public schools.
(b) A minimum course of two years for graduates
from a four years' high school course.
3. Students who are graduates from a four-years'
high school course and in addition thereto have taken some
professional work in a c llege, university or normal school,
and who htve had one year's eAperience in teaching in
the public schools, may receive credit on the two years'
course, but in all such cases students will be required to
take at least one year's work in residence before receiving
a Normal diploma.

In order to simplif) the arrangement and uniformity
of the course the work is reduced to units. The term unit
is used to denote a subject studied through one school year
with five class exercises or periods per week, two laboratory periods to equal one class exercise. The school year
is divided into two semesters, each of nineteen weeks, exclusive of Christmas holidays of one week and of commencement week. A recitation period is 45 minutes. A
minimum of fifteen academic units and nine professional
units is required for the Normal diploma, as follows:

ATHLETICS
The games, exercises and various phases of this work
are of such a nature that both girls and boys may participate in some form of exercise and all students are urged to
take an active part. The athletic training is under the personal charge of regular members of the faculty. While the
students are encouraged to participate in athletics, such
participation is held subordinate to the educational work of
the institution. Students deficient in studies, irregular in
attendance or unsatisfactory in deportment are not permitted to represent the Normal as members of its athletic
teams. The work has been greatly stimulated by the presentation of three silver cups. These were given by the
"Student," and stand as prizes to be contended -for annually by the various classes in track, tennis, and basket ball.

TENNIS-Several splendid courts-the best in the
State-have been made and are kept up by the school.
Everything is done that will enable the students to enjoy
the game to the fullest during the whole school year. Each
year inter-class tournaments are held. This is the one
branch of athletics that can and does do the most for
class spirit. In addition to the inter-class matches an
annual tournament is held, wherein the most prominent
schools of this part of the state take part.
GIRLS' BASKET BALL-The young women maintain a basket ball association whose purpose is the amusement and recreation afforded by wholesome outdoor exercise. During the fall five teams are organized, one from
each class, and these teams play a series of twenty games
for the possession of the silver cup offered by the "Student." The exercise is not confined to these teams, however1 for each class usually organizes at least two teams, so
that the work is open to all who wish to play, and each

24

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

year from sixty to a hundred girls enjoy the physical benefits of this fine game. In addition to the inter-class games
a limited number of match games are played with teams
from other schools. Two fine courts are kept in first class
condition, being well laid out and surrounded with wire
nettiiig, which reduces to a minimum the loss of time due
to the ball going out of bounds. The work is under the direct supervision of a member of the faculty, who guards
against over-exertion on the part of untrained players and
regulates the amount of exercise according to the strength
and physical condition of the individual.

BOYS' BASKET BALL-During the fall the interest
of the young men, in so far as athletics is concerned, centers upon basket ball which is played out of doors. Sev
era! match games are played with teams from other insti
tutions.
TRACK An excellent form of athletics for the reason
that it affords an opportunity for training to every student
who desires exercise. The Normal School is a memebr of
the Valley League Athletic Association, which conducts
annual track meets. The Normal School easily won the
championship in this league last year. This efficiency has
been attained by a system of coaching that makes each boy
his own trainer. As such he studies the proper method of
physical development and obtains a practical knowledge
invaluable to his future years. There is a fine track on the
campus for distance events, and a 220-yard straight-away
course for sprints. Suitable apparatus for all standard
events has been purchased and all young men are urged
to enter this field of athletics.
BASEBALL This, the greatest of all the American
games, is better supported by the student body than any
other form of athletics. Every boy hails the time when the
baseball season opens. The Normal diamond, located on
the campus, is reputed to be the finest in the State. The
training quarter~ are provided with shower baths, while
the association fnrni5hes suits, gloves and other supplies.
The Normal boys won the Republican cup in 1912 and
1913. \Vhen this is won one more year by the Normal it
becomes their permanent possession.

LITERARY SOCIETIES
Every student of the Normal School may avail himself
of membership in one or the other of the literary societies
that are maintained by the student body. There are at
present three of these organizations, meeting either weekly
or bi-weekly. These societies are organized for the purpose of affording opportunity for original literary work, to
acquaint the student with parliamentary usage and with
the customs and practices of deliberative bodies, and to develop ease and facility in public speaking. Participation
in the work of these organizations is considered an important part of the regular work of the school. A member of
the faculty is detailed for each society to act as critic and
to give assistance and advice when required. The members of all societies receive individual aid and instruction
from the instructor in oratory, who devotes a portion of
each week to this special work. Members of the faculty
are honarary members of all three societies.
The societies are as follows :
ZETETIC SOCIETY An organization cons1stmg of
twenty-five young women. During the past year meetings
were held bi-weekly during the first, and weekly during the
second semester. The work of the year was devoted chiefly
to a study of the German novel. Readings and discussions
of plot, with a view toward dramatization furnished the
principal topics. There was some stage work, but no public performances were attempted. Meetings were held in
the music room and auditorium.
KALAKAGATHIA-The work of this society was
carried on with spirit throughout the year. The vacancies
made by the Seniors were filled by elections from the various classes of the school, and the society reorganized. It
was decided that i\lodern Drama should be the subject
~tudied during the year, and with ~Ii~~ \Vright as monitor
the work was taken up. Programs at the semi-monthly
meetings consisted of studies in the structure of the drama,
and the reading and discu<;s1on of one or two of the most
note\\Orthy of 1nodern dran1as. On <;Orne occasions the
e\ enin~s \Vere de' oted \\hall) to social features, but the
'vork done was first in consideration and contributed large
ly to the benefits of the Normal.

26

ATHENIAN DEBATING CLUB-The oldest literary organization in the institution consists of a group of
young men who meet every Wednesday evening for the
purpose of debate. Subjects are selected from current affairs,. the large nu~ber of 111agazines and bound periodicals
now 1n the possession of the school offering a good opportunity for the preparation of briefs. Two public debates
were given during the year, and the \vork throughout was
characterized by energetic and efficient administration.

"THE STUDENT"
"The Tempe Normal Student"' is a bi-weekly paper published by the students of the Normal. Its chief purpose
is to give the students practical work in \vriting and it is
thought that this purpose is best fulfilled by writing up
the daily activities of the school life with which the students are perfectly familiar and of which they are a part.
Essays and stories submitted in the department of English
either as a part of the regular work or in competition for
the prizes and 1ncdals offered for this kind of work frequently find publication in the paper. In this way the
paper beco1nes a stimulus not only to the student life of
the school, but also to the interest in English work. The
paper, ho\vever, is a student publication, and the students
are responsible for its corning out.
For the past five years the ''Studenf' has offered two
medals to the pupils of the Arizona high schools to be
competed for in a declamatory contest held at Tempe in
March.

LECTURE COURSE
Every year there is arranged a course of lectures and
entertainrnents, vvhich are given in the .:.Jorn1al School Auditorium nnder the auspices and patronage of the school.
These attractions consist of outside talent of a very high
order of nJerit and arc offered to the students of the Normal School at a 1nerely nominal ad111ission fee. These
courses are largely attended by the citizens of Tempe and
afford the students an unusual opportunity of seeing and
hearing the best form of arnusement.
In the school year 1912-13 the following lectures and
musicales were presented to packed and delighted houses:

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

'Zl

Governor Hadley, Hon. George D. Alden, and Ralph Bingham as lecturers; Byron's Troubadours, Strollers Male
Quartette, and Ben Greet's Players as entertainers.
During the year 1913-14 the course will include four
entertainers and three musicales, as follows: Enrico Palmetto, tenor; the Zoellner String Quartette; Hugo Kortschak, violinist; Louise Wallace Hackney, dramatic interpreter; Montraville Wood, scientific demonstrator; Alton
Packard, cartoonist, and Mr. and Mrs. Michitaro Ongawa
in a Japanese sketch entitled, "Along the Road to Tokyo."
This makes seven numbers for next year in place of the
six usually given, but the price will remain the same as
heretofore, namely, $3.00 for citizens for a course ticket
and $1.50 for students for a course ticket.

VISITORS
Visitors are welcome at all times, and educators and
clergymen are especially invited to visit the school in all
its departments. The faculty is always pleased to make
the acquaintance of the parents of the students and to have
them make a personal inspection of the school and its
work. Visitors will find the entire student body assembled
each morning session from 9:00 to 9:15 o'clock, mountain
time. The people of Arizona are urged to recognize the
fact that the Normal School belongs to them, and that
the management always appreciates their interest and
good will. It is well recognized that their visitors are a
valuable stimulus to faculty and students alike.
APPOINTMENT OF STUDENTS-Every member
of the House and Senate of the Legislative Assembly of
Arizona is authorized by la\v to nominate a student biennially to the Normal School. For sixty days after the
qualification of the n1ember, preference is to be shown students from the county which the member represents. After
this time in case no student has accepted the nomination,
a student from any other county may be named. No tuition is charged students non1inated under this provision
but no student is exempt from the payment of the annual
registration fee of $5.00. It is greatly to be desired that the
members of the Legislature, the County Superintendents,
and all others who are interested in supplying the schools
with well educated and properly trained teachers should

28

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

recommend to this school students who desire to become
teachers and who give promise of attaining success in this
profession.

ASSISTANCE AND PRIZES
The Kingsbury Senior Assistance Fund, established
by Mr. W. J. Kingsbury of Tempe, provides in a liberal
way for the needs of worthy students who find themselves
unable to pursue their studies by reason of a lack of means.
A certain sum of money has been set aside every year
from which loans may be made to students at a very
low rate of interest. While the fund is primarily for the
aid of the Seniors, yet any student of the Tempe Normal
School can, at the recommendation of the faculty, draw
upon it as a loan.
The Moeur medal for scholarship, offered by Dr. B. B.
Moeur of Tempe, is awarded each year at commencement
to the student who obtains the highest standing in class
work during the two years immediately preceding gradu
ation. The winning of this prize has always been considered one of the greatest honors open to the Normal
students.
The Harvard Club of Arizona offers to the Seniors of
the school a medal for the best essay on some topic connected with Arizona. The subject matter as well as the
treatment must be original.
Other prizes will be given during each year to encourage oratorical work in the literary societies and to
foster interest in inter-society debate.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
This association now numbers 535 members. It holds
two regular meetings each year and an annual banquet.
It is earnestly desired that all the graduates of this school
should show a lively interest in its welfare. Their influence on the schools of the State is already plainly seen
and will doubtless increase. The faculty desires to be informed of the success of the graduates and to render them
professional assistance as far as possible. The association
is a valuable means toward this end. The principal de-

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL OF ARIZONA

29

sires to know the permanent address of every person who
has graduated from the Normal School and to be informed
of any change in residence or occupation, that it may be
properly recorded. A mistake of any kind in the Alumni
Register will be cheerfully corrected as soon as attention
is called to it.
SPECIAL COURSES AND SPECIALIST DIPLOMAS
With the completion of the new Industrial Arts Building the school will be prepared to train and equip teachers
specially fitted to instruct in Drawing, Agriculture, Home
Economics, and Manual Training so that they may be able
to fill positions in these subjects in the schools of the State
as there is beginning to be a great demand for supervisors
in these departments with salaries commensurate with the
importance of this work. The liberal school laws and the
ample provision made for the establishment of new grade
schools and Union and City High Schools is causing a
constant demand for properly prepared instructors along
these lines and the Tempe Normal School will soon be
ready to fill the demand. No institution in the Union will
be better housed, equipped, or prepared to turn ont more
competent instructors and supervisors in these subjects
than the Tempe Normal School. Prospective students who
are thinking of taking up any of these special courses and
school boards who are thinking of introducing these departments would do well to correspond with the Principal.
LIBRARY
The Library occupies two large well-lighted rooms on
the first floor of the Main Building with an adjoining room
used for current periodicals and newspapers. There are at
present about 7,000 volumes, including government documents and a collection of children's books at the Training
School. The Dewey classification is followed and a card
catalog makes the material more accessible.
LIBRARY INSTRUCTION-The object of this
course is to familiarize students with the use of books and
libraries, with special work for the Senior class on the
foundation of a school library.

TEACHERS' BUREAU
Although the management of the school cannot agree
to furnish employment or find positions for students upon
graduation, yet the principal and members of the faculty
find many opportunities of recommending teachers to good
positions, and this they are always pleased to do as they
feel that the service may be an advantage not only to the
student, but to trustees and school officers as well. The
principal of the school, when requested, will take pleasure
in furnishing to school officers accurate information in regard to the fitness of its students and alumni to teach; he
will also, when desired, put them in communication with
teachers seeking employment. In order to be able to recommend a teacher intelligently to a position, the principal
should be given a full and detailed statement of the requirements and conditions of the position.
