that of the Professional Course, all the subjects required of candidates for the State Certificate At the time this catalogue goes to press the Florida State Legislature is in session, and it is possible that changes may be made in the laws regulating public instruction in the State In that case the courses of study of the Rollin Normal School will be immediately changed conform to thenew requirements The courses of study offered below are, in a way, tentative They include all the subjects at present prescribed by law for the State examinations (Cf; pp 21-23 of the '' Digest of the School Laws of the State of Florida ''), tog·e ther w~th much work in a Practice School We shall keep in touch with Hon._William N Sheats, Superintende~t of Public Instruction, and shall, with his advice and concurrence, make those changes in the coqrses of _study that are deemed advisable ~ full prospectus of the work of the Normal School will be issued before the beginning of the next school-year, which will be sent upon application The instruction offered in the Normal School will be stTictly normal Two trained normai' teachers have already been definitely engaged for next year, and they will devo~e to 44 ROLLINS COLLEGE their entire time to normal work The college ·authorities are resolved to make the Normal School a success and will engage other teachers as soon as they are needed Furthermore, each head of a department in Rollins College may be called upon to give, in addition to his regular academic courses, a special normal course for those students that are preparing to -teach The young men and young women that go to normal schools to prepare themselves for teaching are generally older, · or at least more mature of mind, than the average academic student and, consequently, are willing to work harder and are able to cover more ground within a given tin1e Chiefly on this account, the normal work will, with scarcely an exception, be kept distinct from the regular academic work At the same time, the work of the Professional Course will be found sufficiently advanced to suit the most ambitious, and any normal student may at any time and without extra expense, take special work in the College or Preparatory School, provided only he give proof of his preparation to take the work he elects The time required for the · completion of one or both courses will depend entirely on the student No effort is made to grade students as to years The student that enters either course may have already con1pleted a part of the work and will upon examination receive full credit for all work ·done · · Again some students are able to satisfactorily a greater amount of work than others No restrictions will be placed on the ambitious, hardworking student, and while some 1nay require two fu11 years for the completion of either course, others with the aid of · work done elsewhere may complete their course in one year or less · We have said that students may enter the Normal School at any time This is true; but we would urgently advise the · student to enter at the beginning of a term, or, hetter still, with the beginning of the school year, October There will •be three terms throughout the school year, coinciding in time with the Fall, Winter and Spring terms of the College There will ~so be a nine weeks' Summer term, beginning May 31 and ending July 30 The instruction offered during the Summer term will consist in rapid reviews of the entire work of the preceding three terms of the regular school-year, together with lectures on Pedagogics and Psychology and exercises in Voice Culture Teachers that are unable to attend the Normal School during the regular school year, will find· the Summer course well adapted to their needs, and the 1:egular students ROLLIN$ COLLEGF" , -~ ·45 will find the reviews.of this course_.of value.fu further· p~epar- ing them for their examin~tions _ · · · · · The Science of Teaching will receiv~ the attention that its importance dem.ands Students will receiye _instruction in the · ele.ments of Psychology and Pedagogics throµghout both the Elemen~ry and ~b~ Professional Course, the subjects ~ing, however, taught more fully and at greater length in _the latter eou·r se In order that the teacher may use aU his faculties to -; the g re~test advantage, he·- must baye a thorc;>Ugb knowledge of the best methods of placing subject ~atter:-befQre' his pupils And before methods are put into practice they should be con- · sid~red in all th~ir relations to ihe child mind · This we consider an extremely important part of the instruction offered by the Normal School and gre~t str~ss will~ laid upon it The Practice _of Teaching is also au indispensable part of a teac~er's training._ The study of the principles of ~e science and_the observatio~s of correct methods must be suppleme_n ted · by· actual practice under careful supervision in · order to attain skill iti _the art of teaching ln&trttction ·in 'J he Science of., Teaching is therefore supplemented by the Prac~ice o( Teach- · iug in a Model School which will be· established· in connection with the Normal SchooL Many of the recitations of the Model ScQool will be conducted_by the students · of the Pro- fessional · Course ang the ·more advanced students· oo oo oo oo M_IJ_SIC P~ano, one hour lessons twice a week $24 · oo Piano, one-half hour lessons twice a week· , - r2 oo Piano, class leSBons, three in class, twenty minutes oo Voice culture, two lessons per week, for term, 12 weeks 12 oo Voice culture, advanced, in class, twenty minutes, twice weekly oo Use of piano for practice, one hour daily · oo Each additional hour ~ ()() Rates for the Spring Term of nine weeks, three-fourths of the above ART Charcoal, pen and ink, pencil, etc Three lessons per week, of one hour each, per term $12 oe Painting in both oils and water colors Three lessons per week, of one hour each, per term 15 oo Painting upon· China Three lessons per week, of-one hour each, per term · i8 00 Landscape class, per term e Witk tke exception of washing tlze · above cover all the necessary expenses There are no extras - ROLLINS COLLEGE 55 TER.M BILLS Term bills must be paid at the eommenceinent of each term No deduction will be made for less than half a - term, except in cases of sickness, and then only for board Where students leave before the close of the terms, no deductions will be made for tuition or room rent '- All persons boarding in the institution are required tQ· bring two pairs of ~beets, two pillo~ cases,· two blank~ts, a com£orter, towels and table napkins All rooms are provided with single beds and furnished with · more than ordinary comfort No student from abroad will be permitted to room or board outside of the institution except with permission of the Faculty FR.EE TRA SPORTATfON QNE WAY Free railroad transportation can be obtained one ·:vvay over many of the Florida railroads by students of Rollins College T.o take advantage of this opportunity, students when purchasing a ticket at their homes should obtain - from their local ticket agent a certificate as follows : M has paid $ fare from - to _.in going to Rollins College Such certificate duly filled out and endorsed by the College President may be exch3:t1ged with the Winter Park ticket agent for a ticket to the point of starting~ · Be sure and obtaz"n tke Cerliji,cate ·upon leav£ng kome DIRECTION$ FOR NORTHERN STUDENTS FOR REACHING ROLLINS COLLEOE Winter Park is easy of access: · It is centrally located on _two lines of railroad Tickets can be purchased in the East via the various steamship lines to Jacksonville, and thence -v~a St · Johns river lines to Sanford ;
