Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Circular of the State Female Normal School: At Farmville, Virginia; 1895-96 This School was established by act of Legislature in March 1884, the act which created it fixing its location at Farmville. Dr. W. H. Ruffner, who had previously been State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and who during his occupancy of that office bad frequently and urgently in his reports to the Legislature advocated the establishment of such a school, was asked by the Board of Trustees to become the head of the School and take upon himself the burden and responsibility of its organization. There being in Virginia at that time few persons familiar with the organization and methods of Normal Schools, Dr. Ruffner was authorized to seek in the North three persons suited for the position of instructors, and his nominees were at once elected by the Board. To this number were added two ladies who were from the South, and who had experience in teaching in our best public school systems. The course of instruction adopted embraced elementary courses in English, Arithmetic, Algebra, Geography, Physiology, Physics, United States History, Penmanship, Drawing and Vocal Music. To them were added Lectures on School Economy, Methods of Instruction, and Psychology, the whole course of study, subject-matter and methods, covering a period of two years. Under the energetic and wise management of the School by its Board of Trustees, at whose head was Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the agent of the Peabody Trustees, and owing to the widely extended reputation of Dr. Ruffner who had organized the public school system of the State, the School at once earned the confidence of the people and its class-rooms were soon filled. The next Legislature added to the very meagre appropriation of five thousand dollars, fifteen thousand dollars for additional buildings, exclusive of the annual appropriation of ten thousand dollars for maintenance. The first year there was an attendance of one hundred and seven pupils, but no graduates. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
