NORMAL DEPARTMENT.The design of this Department is to train teachers for the common schools of the State.

Applicants must pass a satisfactory examination in the common English branches in order to enter this Department.

In addition to a thorough knowledge of the branches to be taught, the work comprehends:1. Training in methods of imparting instruction in the branches to be taught.2. Methods of leading pupils to think and investigate for themselves.3. How to grade and organize the various kinds of schools.4. Government or discipline of schools.5. Duties of teachers as governed by School Law.CALENDAR.The terms commence and end as indicated by the following:CALENDAR FOR THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR 1891-92.The Autumn Term will commence September 5, 1892, and close December 9, 1892.The Winter Term will commence December 12, 1892, and close March 9, 1893.The Spring Term will commence March 11, 1893, and close June 7, 1893.HOLIDAYS.The only holidays given are Christmas, New Year and Thanksgiving days.

APPOINTMENT OF BENEFICIARIES.By the laws of the State, the appointment of students to the Branch College, in numbers from each county in the State, is the same as to the parent University at Fayetteville. The power is vested in the County Courts; but any vacancies occurring during the vacations of the court, shall be filled by the Judge of the County Court.

All students thus appointed are entitled to four years' free tuition, upon the payment of five dollars matriculation fee, in advance, at the time of entering the school.

All Beneficiaries and Normal students should be present at the opening of the Autumn Term; and unnecessary delay, either of old students returning or of new ones reporting, will lead to the forfeiture of their appointments. The strictest attention to study, and most exact punctuality in attendance on recitations and all other duties, are made the conditions of every student's continuance at the institution. Appointments are not transferable.

The pupils who can be admitted to the Branch Normal College free of tuition are apportioned among the several counties of the State, according to their respective populations, by the United States census of 1880, which apportionment is as follows:

BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGEEXPENSES.The expenses of a student at the Branch Normal College need not exceed the amount herein stated.

Board in private families, including fuel, light and washing, can be had from eight to ten dollars per month. A Normal student pays five dollars entrance fee, which entitles him to free tuition for four years.

Books may be purchased at Pine Bluff at the purchaser's usual retail price. Quite a number of students have paid a part of their board by labor in private families.

Non-beneficiary students will be charged the sum of one dollar per month for tuition, payable in advance.

GENERAL STATEMENT.The Branch Normal College is a Department of the Arkansas Industrial University, established pursuant to an act of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas, approved April 25, 1873, and has been in operation since September 27, 1875. Its primary object is the training of teachers for efficient service in the colored public schools of the State-the law referred to having been enacted with special reference to the "convenience of the poorer classes." For the purpose of carrying out the intent of the law, by enabling those who wish to avail themselves of its advantages, there is no charge for tuition for appointees; the only requirements for admission being suitable age and qualification, and appointment from one of the County Judges, and the payment of the entrance fee of $5.

LOCATION, ETC.The school property consists of a beautiful tract of twenty acres of ground, in the suburbs of Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Arkansas, and a few rods from the junction of the Little Rock, Mississippi River & Texas and "Paramore" Railroads. The school building, completed in 1881, and occupied January 30, 1882, is one of the handsomest educational edifices in the State, as well as one of the best, being warm and comfortable, well lighted and ventilated. It contains one large assembly, room four recitation rooms, and cloak rooms for males and females. The building is of brick, with slate roof and trimmings of Alabama granite, and cost, with improvements and furniture, $12,000. The furniture and other equipments are of the modern style.

The Normal Course of Study, as will be seen by reference to page 17, is not 002323what goes by that name in many of our institutions-that is, a mere preparation for teaching the common school branches-but differs from the usual college curriculum merely in the omission of one or two of higher mathematics, and having less in Greek.

The institution is strictly confined, as will be seen from its curriculum, to the higher branches, and children who are not somewhat advanced in the common school branches are not admitted.

The first two years of this course are intended to rank as the Freshmen and Sophomore years of the usual college curriculum, and the last two years as the equivalent of the Junior and Senior years.

Ten classes have graduated in the institution and, as will be seen in the list of the Alumni, are now occupying prominent positions in life.

Recently the entire building has been whitened, painted and repaired; new furniture and an excellent supply of new apparatus purchased.

The Reading-room has been fitted up in elegant style and an excellent beginning made toward securing a good library by the collection of about one thousand volumes. It has been supplied with quite a number of valuable newspapers, and periodicals, many of which were furnished by their publishers. Among those on file were the Freeman, Indianapolis. Appeal, Minneapolis; Gazette, Huntsville; The Gazette and the Register, Little Rock; Globe-Democrat and Republic, St. Louis; The Tyler, Detroit, Mich.; Popular Educator, Boston; Lippincott's Educational Quarterly; American Student, New York; Board of Education, Chicago; School Journal, New York; Weekly Echo, Pine Bluff; National Baptist, Philadelphia; Southern Review, Helena; Southern School Journal, American, Machinist, Scientific American, Nation, Popular Educator.

THE LIBRARY.The Library consists of over two thousand five hundred volumes, embracing many valuable reference books, such as Appleton's Cyclopedia, Alden's Cyclopedia, Lippincott's Gazetteers, etc. It also has acquired by purchase during the last year, a fine collection of the works of standard authors-Shakespeare, Milton, Irving, Cooper, Dickens, Longfellow, Carlyle, Tennyson. The Library of the principal, embracing many valuable text and reference books; including the Encyclopedia Brittanica, is also accessible to students. A small collection of minerals, each of which is a typical specimen, and none of which are duplicates has been procured. During the past year a valuable supply of apparatus has been added to the educational resources of the institution.

THE DORMITORY.

FEMALE DORMITORY AND BOARDING HOUSE OF BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGE.

The Dormitory for female students is under the supervision of the Principal and his wife. It is a handsome brick structure sufficient for the accommodation of thirty or forty students. Board bills are payable monthly in advance, and no deduction is made for loss of time less than one week. Girls staying in the Dormitory are required to keep their own rooms and the halls clean, and to assist, in turn, in the dining room and kitchen. They are expected to furnish their own bed linen, and are held responsible for all damage to furniture in their rooms. They are not to visit each others' rooms, except by invitation from the occupant, and two are expected to occupy one room. They are not allowed to change rooms, except by permission, nor to visit in town otherwise. The charge for board, fuel and light thus far has been eight dollars per month, in advance, and, if possible, that price will be continued.

ARKANSAS INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITYGENERAL EXERCISES.In addition to the regular class exercises laid down in the curriculum of study, there are regular lessons in vocal music, which are open to all the students. The general exercises also include in review of the Sabbath-school lesson, review of the events of the week, Calisthenics, Music and Drawing. Music upon instruments, the Organ, Piano, Flute, Guitar, etc., is extra, but very reasonable in price. There are two Literary Societies, the Junior and Senior, which hold weekly meetings and afford excellent opportunities for practice in oratory, debate and composition. It is required that every student shall become a member and attend the meetings of one of the Societies.

The length of the vacation allows the advanced students an opportunity to engage in teaching, and a large proportion of their number have done so during the last five years. In nearly all cases they have given good satisfaction and conduct their schools with a fair degree of success. The Normal students have also assisted in the work of the institution itself as a part of their training.

As a part of their training, the advanced students of the institution assist in the work of teaching.

It will be a great advantage to the institution if the various County Judges will take a special interest in seeing that their counties are represented. The proper blanks for making appointments will be furnished, together with all necessary information, on application to the Principal,J. C. CORBIN, A. M.,PINE BLUFF, ARK.

NOTICEAt the close of every term, students who have pursued the studies of the term are entitled to and may receive a printed certificate, showing that they have done so, and have passed examination on the same.

Any student claiming to be from the Branch Normal College should be able to present one or more of these certificates; and a failure to do so is almost conclusive evidence that such students has failed in the requisite performance of duty.

The Branch Normal College does not recommend as a teacher anyone who does not possess such 'printed' certificates signed by the corps of instructors. It is important to notice that these certificates are never issued with any erasures; therefore, if there are any such, they are not the work of the Faculty.

The students mentioned in the foregoing lists are all of advanced grade, and those in the primary branches are not received.

EQUIPMENT.Building.. - The shop building was completed in February, 1892. It is of brick, and covers a plot of ground 70 x 70, comprising a wood-shop 35 x 25, a foundry 25 x 25, a blacksmith shop 25 x 25, and a machine shop 35 x 25. A boiler room 20 x 25, and a court 35 x 20 occupies the remaining space.

Wood Shop. -The equipment already secured includes 12 benches with complete sets of carpenters' tools, a double-circular sawing machine, a scroll saw, a buzz planer and six wood turning lathes.

Foundry. - A Collian cupola capable of melting 11/2 tons of iron per hour is in position, and the remainder of the outfit will be added shortly. It will include ladles, moulders' tools, flasks, core oven and rumble, etc.

Forge Shops. - Twelve Buffalo forges are in position, the blast being supplied by a blower, and the smoke drawn off by a large exhaust fan. Besides the usual outfit of anvils, hammers, tongs, etc., there is a Buffalo punch shear and bar cutter capable of cutting off 1 inch bar iron 1/2 x 3 inch strap iron, or of punching a 3/8 inch hole in 3/8 inch iron.

Machine Shop. - Among the tools already ordered and partly in place are a 15 inch crank shaper, 24 x 24 x 6 feet planer, 20 inch drill press, 15 inch x 5 feet turret lathe, 18x6 inch engine lathe, 14 inch by 6 feet engine lathe, 12 inch x 5 feet hand lathe, universal milling machine, cutter and reamer grinder, twist drill grinder, power grindstone, etc.

Heating and Power Plant. - Two vertical engines of 12-horse power each are in position, also two 30-horse power tubular boilers. The piping for feed water is so arranged that the water passes from either pump or injector through a feed water heater to the boilers; and the exhaust piping is so arranged that the exhaust steam from the engines can be used either to heat the feed water or to heat the shops.

Water Supply. - In the court of the shop building, a 4 inch Cook tubular well has been put down which will furnish 1000 gallons of water per hour. A Cook pump delivers the water to a tank 30 feet above ground, holding 8000 gallons.

ARKANSAS INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITY.Sanitary Provisions. -The shops are thoroughly lighted, ventilated, heated and drained. Sewer connection is made to all buildings, and the abundant water supply is used to insure cleanliness in wash room and water closets.

GENERAL STATEMENT.The shops of the Branch Normal College are built and equipped for the purpose of giving the colored boys of our State a chance to make themselves useful by learning to be carpenters, pattern-makers, moulders, blacksmiths, machinists, and engineers or firemen. The shops will accommodate sixty students at one time, as follows:Wood shop18Foundry12Forge shop12Machine shop14Tool rooms2Boiler room2__60

While learning the basis of his trade, the student acquires a good knowledge of Language, History, Mathematics and Drawing. Throughout the course of four years in the shops, the student spends an average of ten hours a week in actual labor; and, while the amount of time spent in the shops seems small, experience has shown that students under constant instruction from skilled teachers and passed from one exercise to another as soon as the work is well done, make very rapid progress:

We are therefore prepared to offer:(a.) A course in general shop work extending ever three years, followed by a fourth years' work in one of the shops selected by the student. The design is to enable a young man to choose his trade intelligently and to acquire a sound basis for it.(b.) A three years' course in general shop work followed by a fourth year's work in the management of boilers, engines and heating systems. This course is intended to train young men for the practical work of firemen and engineers.(c.) A course in general shop work extending over three years, together with class-room work in the theory and practice of teaching, followed by a fourth year's work in handling classes in the shops and in laying out series of practical exercises. There are industrial schools for colored boys springing up all over the South, and we hope by this course to help supply the demand for trained shop teachers.

REMARKS.Materials and tools will be furnished to students taking shop work. When necessary, however each student will be expected to provide himself with a blouse and overalls to work in.

In the case of students who are unable to take a regular four years course, or who have a decided and intelligent preference for a certain kind of shop work, they will be allowed to work in the shop preferred on the following condition: (1) That, if the student prefers carpentry or blacksmithing, he will be allowed to begin at once; (2) that, if he prefers foundry work, he must take bench work, wood turning, and pattern-making leading up to it: (3) that if he prefers machinist work, he must first learn to forge, weld and temper in order to make his own tools for the lathe, planer and shaper for chipping.

It is urged, however, (1) that students try earnestly to complete the regular course and secure thereby a better education; (2) that the choice of work be made carefully, and those students who have not decided preference are advised to pursue the regular order of work for the first three years, after which a choice can be made intelligently.
