Book Description
Excerpt from Normalites, 1914 The class of 1914: will be the one hundredth class to graduate from the Salem Normal School. During the period of its existence, the school has seen many changes. When first established, she was wont to send forth her daughters (no sons), diploma in hand, twice a year, in January and also in June. The last class to graduate in winter was the class of January, 1897. The Salem Normal School was open only to girls in the beginning, but in 1897 she threw' open her doors to the men of New England. A great many young men have accepted the opportunity and she is now proud of both sons and daughters. Among the changes, the most noticeable is the new plan for the training in teaching. According to this plan, each student has charge of a small class in a room by herself. The students are under the supervision of regular teachers who divide their time among these small classes. All the seniors who have worked under the new plan feel that they have gained a great deal. The opportunities afforded the student teachers are excellent. They are given a chance to meet the problems of the profession on a small scale and cope with them. The power to carry along the work of the class alone, gained under the new plan, will be invaluable when the student teachers are no longer students.
