DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe American State Normal School is the first comprehensive history of the state normal schools in the United States. Although nearly two-hundred state colleges and regional universities throughout the U.S. began as 'normal' schools, the institutions themselves have buried their history, and scholars have largely overlooked them. As these institutions later became state colleges and/or regional universities, they distanced themselves from the low status of elementary-literally erasing physical evidence of their normal-school past. In doing so, they buried the rich history of generations of students for whom attending normal school was an enriching, and sometimes life-changing experience. Focusing on these students, the first wave of 'non-traditional' students in higher education, The American State Normal School is a much-needed re-examination of the state normal school.This book was subject of an annual History of Education Society panel for best new books in the field.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Historical Sketch and Notes: Winona State Normal School, 1860-1910; Written in Connection With the Preparation for the Celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Opening of the Institution, June 5-8, 1910 It is unfortunate that Dr. G. O. Virtue, for twelve years a member of the faculty, who was to write the history of this school has, within a year, been called to another position, leaving the task to one less capable who came to the State of Minnesota for the first time September last. Moreover, the work has been done under much pressure, and doubtless contains many errors. If those finding mistakes will kindly report them to the president of the school, it will enable the institution to make its next history more accurate. For several reasons the present historical sketch puts most stress on the early history of the school. In the first place, no history was published at the end of the first twenty-five years, as is customary with most normal schools, and the sources for this period are very limited indeed. The destruction of a single volume for these years would be an irreparable loss, so far as the history of the institution is concerned. Furthermore, many persons have already passed away whose services would have been invaluable in this undertaking, and an effort has been made to record much which is contained in but a few rare volumes or locked up in the memory of those yet living. This mode of procedure has prevented the working out of a balanced account of later administrations (indeed, such has not been done even for the earlier administrations) and has necessitated a cursory treatment, publishing those phases which could be most readily worked out. However, duplicate volumes of the various reports containing information for this period, are to be found in possession of the other normal schools now established, and the destruction of one set will not prevent the future historian from giving the later administrations the attention they deserve. Three historical sketches of the institution have proved valuable in this endeavor: one in the History of Winona County; one by Dr. Shepard based on the sketch just referred to; and one, from 1864 to 1876 inclusive, by ex-Principal W. F. Phelps. This sketch was printed in the Bulletin for December, 1905. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
