PHILADELPHIA  NORMAL  SCHOOL  FOR  GIRLS. 


ESTABLISHMENT  OF   THE  SCHOOL. 

Iii  1818  an  act  providing  for  the  education  of  children  at  public  ex- 
pense within  the  city  and  county  of  Philadelphia  gave  the  controllers 
of  public  schools  the  power  to  establish  a  normal  school,  in  order  to 
qualify  teachers  for  the  sectional  schools  and  for  schools  in  other  parts 
of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania.  Under  this  act  a  model  school  was  organ- 
ized, under  the  direction  of  the  celebrated  Joseph  Lancaster,  in  the  build- 
in*?  yet  standing  on  Chester  street,  above  Pace.  In  1836  it  was  so  modified 
as  to  become  in  effect  one  of  the  city  grammar  schools,  but  it  had  served 
its  end  as  a  pioneer  in  the  great  work,  and  had  blazed  the  path  for  the 
instruction  of  those  who  were  to  follow  in  building  up  the  greater  and 
more  nearly  perfect  structure  of  the  normal  school  system. 

The  Philadelphia  Normal  School  for  Girls  was  established  in  1848, 
and  was  placed  under  the  charge  of  Dr.  A.  T.  W.  Wright  as  principal, 
with  the  following  named  teachers  as  assistants  : 

Mr.  E.  W.  Muuiford,  teacher  of  drawing  and  penmanship. 
Mr.  D.  P.  Alden,  teacher  of  music. 
I  Miss  Elizabeth  Jackson,  teacher  of  mathematics. 
Miss  Emma  L.  Field,  teacher  of  history. 
Miss  Mary  E.  Houpt,  teacher  of  grammar. 
Miss  Mary  E.  Brown,  teacher  of  reading. 

The  number  of  pupils  in  attendance — admitted  on  preliminary  exam- 
ination— was  106;  and  the  course  of  instruction  was  limited  to  two 
years,  just  half  what  it  is  now.  In  1854,  the  school,  having  outgrown 
its  original  quarters,  was  removed  to  a  new  building,  erected  by  the 
city  for  its  accommodation,  on  Sergeant  street,  between  Ninth  and 
Tenth  streets,  where  it  remained  until  the  completion  of  its  present 
commodious  and  perfectly  appointed  building,  at  the'  corner  of  Seven- 
teenth and  Spring  Garden  streets,  in  November,  187G.  The  building, 
which  is  of  Chester  County  greenstone,  covers  a  space  120  by  160  feet,  and 
is  three  stories  high,  with  mansard  addition.  It  was  built  and  furnished 
at  a  cost  of  $275,000.  It  is  capable  of  accommodating  and  furnishes  in- 
struction to  over  1,300  pupils,  inclusive  of  the  school  of  practice. 

The  term  of  Dr.  Wright  as  principal  terminated  in  1856.  He  was 
succeeded  by  Philip  A.  Cregar,  esq.,  who  held  his  post  until  1861,  at 
which  date  he  was  succeeded  by  the  present  principal.

DESCRIPTION  OF   THE  BUILDING. 

Excepting  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  aud  Girard  College,  the 
Girls'  Normal  School  is  the  largest  building  devoted  entirely  to  educa- 


PHILADELPHIA    NORMAL    SCHOOL    FOR    GIRLS.  11 

tional  purposes  in  Philadelphia,  the  extreme  length  being  159  feet  and 
the  extreme  breadth  118  feet,  independent  of  the  projections  for  balco- 
nies, &c. 

The  height  of  the  main  cornice  from  the  pavement  is  about  58  feet, 
with  towers  on  the  three  fronts,  and  angles  extending  one  and  two 
stories  higher,  the  highest  tower  being  about  80  feet  above  the  pave- 
ment. The  whole  is  covered  with  a  mansard  roof,  12  feet  high  clear  of 
the  floor  and  principal  rafters,  thus  furnishing  an  immense  room  for 
recreation  and  other  purposes. 

The  material  used  in  the  construction  of  the  walls  is  Chester  County 
greenstone,  backed  with  Trenton  brownstone.  The  dressings,  such  as 
hoods  over  the  windows,  balconies,  pilasters,  balustrades,  consoles, 
quoins,  &c,  are  of  Ohio  stone,  from  the  Berea  quarries.  The  base 
to  the  top  of  the  water  table,  including  step  sills,  platforms,  hand  rails, 
&c,  is  of  Hummelstown  brownstone. 

The  sidewalks  are  paved  with  rubbed  blue  flagstone  laid  in  cement. 

The  building  and  grounds  are  thoroughly  underdrained  into  a  cul- 
vert, by  connections  from  the  roof,  water  closets,  wash  basins,  &c,  the 
whole  trapped  so  as  to  exclude  foul  air.  The  interior  arrangement  has 
received  the  approval  of  the  most  critical,  as  admirably  adapted  to  the 
wants  and  necessities  of  a  large  normal  school. 

The  basement  or  lower  story  contains  the  gymnasium,  44  by  41  feet; 
the  laboratory  of  th^  same  size,  with  a  storeroom  attached,  20  by  21  feet; 
three  rooms  for  the  use  of  the  school  of  practice,  and  four  rooms  occu- 
pied by  the  janitor  and  his  family.  Two  steam  heaters,  each  of  thirty 
horse  power,  occupy  rooms  embracing  parts  of  this  story,  with  the  cellar 
22  feet  high,  each  surrounded  with  stone  walls  so  as  to  prevent  danger 
from  fire.     These  boilers  are  so  constructed  that  they  cannot  explode. 

The  first  story  contains  twelve  rooms,  viz:  one  for  the  committee  and 
principal,  one  for  the  library  and  vice  principal,  one  for  the  faculty,  five 
for  the  Normal  School,  and  four  for  the  school  of  practice. 

The  second  story  contains  the  grand  auditorium  or  assembly  room, 
108  by  67  feet  (with  an  elevated  platform  capable  of  seating  200  persons), 
furnished  with  the  most  approved  slat-seated  settees,  upholstered,  and 
capable  of  seating  1,200  persons;  a  lecture  room,  45  by  32  feet,  provided 
with  graduated  platforms  and  settees  of  the  most  approved  style,  lecture 
table,  and  other  appliances;  a  side  room,  for  the  storage  of  philosophical 
apparatus,  with  a  retiring  room  attached;  and  four  class  rooms  for  the 
normal  school. 

The  third  story  contains  ten  class  rooms  for  the  normal  school  and 
a  drawing  room  45  by  32  feet  (with  retiring  room  for  teachers  attached). 

The  attic  or  mansard  story,  20  feet  high,  covers  the  whole  building. 
The  sheathing  of  the  roof  keeps  the  lower  part  of  the  building  cool  in 
summer  and  furnishes  an  immense  space  for  recreation  and  other  pur- 
poses.    A  large  tank,  for  the  storage  of  water  necessary  in  the  build- 


12  PHILADELPHIA    NORMAL    SCHOOL    FOR    GIRLS. 

ing,  is  placed  in  this  story,  which  also  serves  as  a  reservoir  in  cas<>  of 
emergency. 

Marble  top  washstands  are  placed  in  the  halls  of  the  different  stories 
at  convenient  points. 

The  building  is  heated  by  steam  ;  the  halls  by  direct  and  the  rooms 
by  indirect  radiation.     All  the  hot-air  flues  are  tin  lined. 

To  insure  proper  ventilation  every  room  is  furnished  with  at  least 
one  ventilating  shaft,  while  the  larger  rooms  have  several  of  them. 

The  steps  and  landings  of  the  stairways  are  covered  with  patent 
rubber  matting,  and  the  halls  with  cocoa  matting  and  carpet,  thus  mak- 
ing them  all  entirely  noiseless. 

The  surroundings  are  all  that  can  be  desired.  The  ground  is  on  the 
summit  between  the  Delaware  and  Schuylkill  Eivers.  Spring  Garden 
street — one  of  the  finest  and  widest  avenues  in  thecity — is  on  the  south, 
Seventeenth  street  on  the  west,  and  Braudywine  street  on  the  north. 
Through  the  liberality  of  city  councils,  additional  ground  on  the  east 
has  been  purchased,  fenced  in,  and  appropriately  decorated,  thus  secur- 
ing light,  air,  and  ventilation. 

DESCRIPTION   OF    THE   FURNITURE   MADE   FOR   THE    SCHOOL.1 

Class  rooms. — The  class  rooms  are  furnished  with  836  desks,  each  to 
accommodate  one  pupil.  They  present  a  surface  of  20  by  26  inches 
on  the  top,  and  are  made  of  black  walnut,  finished  in  oil  and  shellac. 
The  lids  are  made  to  lift,  are  held  in  position  when  raised  by  a  fold- 
ing support  of  steel,  and  are  provided  with  rubber  cushions  to  deaden 
the  noise  when  lowered.  The  ornamental  walnut  border,  forming  a 
guard  on  the  front  of  the  desk,  is  protected  at  each  end  and  in  the 
centre  by  a  handsome  metallic  post,  which  is  imbedded  at  its  base 
in  the  solid  wood  of  the  top.  The  ink  well  is  placed  in  an  opening  on 
the  top,  to  the  right  of  each  pupil,  and  is  covered  by  a  nickel  plated 
hinged  lid,  fitting  tightly  to  a  rim,  which  excludes  dust.  The  standards 
which  form  the  support  of  the  desk  are  of  novel  and  appropriate  design, 
sufficiently  strong  and  heavy,  by  their  peculiar  shape  and  thorough  brac- 
ing, to  secure  perfect  rigidity.  They  are  finished  in  maroon  japan,  with 
the  prominent  parts  lightened  with  bronzing. 

Each  desk  is  provided  with  a  walnut  chair  of  handsome  shape  and 
design.  The  base  consists  of  an  iron  tripod  pedestal,  the  lower  part 
of  which  is  firmly  fastened  to  the  floor,  while  the  upper  part  is  attached 
to  the  bottom  of  the  chair  and  revolves  on  a  centre  formed  by  a  heavy 
wrought  iron  rod  solidly  cast  in  the  lower  portion.  By  means  of  stops, 
the  chair  is  allowed  to  revolve  a  half  circle  only,  thus  permitting  the 
pupil  to  enter  or  leave  from  either  side,  as  preferred.     While  every  ad- 

1  This  furniture  was  manufactured  by  the  Keystone  School  and  Church  Furniture 
Company,  of  Philadelphia,  from  original  designs  specially  prepared  by  that  company 
for  the  school. 


PHILADELPHIA    NORMAL    SCHOOL    FOR    GIRLS.  13 

vantage  of  a  loose  chair,  in  convenience  of  movement,  is  afforded,  an 
ingenious  arrangement  makes  the  movement  a  noiseless  one. 

Assembly  room. — The  assembly  room  is  fitted  up  with  solid  curved 
back  settees,  the  seats  of  which  are  solid  board,  curved  and  upholstered 
with  fine  tapestry;  Each  is  provided  with  a  foot  rest  and  book  rack. 
The  room  will  seat  from  1,100  to  1,200  pupils.  The  platform  is  provided 
with  chairs  and  walnut  settees  (movable),  capable  of  accommodating 
nearly  200  persons. 

Lecture  room. — The  lecture  room  is  fitted  up  with  settees  of  walnut, 
with  folding  seats  and  tops,  the  latter  being  used  for  taking  notes.  A 
book  box  is  also  provided  in  the  rear  of  each  pupil,  for  temporary  use. 
The  settees  are  fastened  to  a  platform,  starting  from  the  front  of  the 
room,  Avith  a  3-inch  rise  to  each  seat,  thus  enabling  each  pupil  to  have 
an  unobstructed  view  of  all  experiments. 

Laboratory. — The  laboratory  is  fitted  up  with  folding-seat  settees 
and  two  large  cases  for  apparatus,  chemicals,  &c.  This  room  also  con- 
tains a  fume  closet  (inclosed  with  glass  sash),  which  connects  with  a  flue 
and  carries  off  all  gases  generated  in  experimental  chemistry;  and  a 
lecture  table,  with  all  necessary  appliances,  30  feet  long  on  a  raised  plat- 
form, so  as  to  show  all  experiments.  Fifteen  feet  of  this  table  are  cov- 
ered with  slabs  of  natural  slate,  one  inch  thick,  to  resist  the  action  of 
chemicals.  A  portion  of  this  slate  is  movable,  and  under  it  there  is  a 
tank  provided  with  water  pipes,  &c. 

Dratving  room. — The  drawing  room  is  provided  with  55  adjustable 
tables,  the  tops  of  which,  by  a  peculiar  arrangement,  can  be  raised  and 
lowered  at  will,  adjusted  to  any  angle,  or  turned  to  secure  any  light. 
These  tables  can  be  made  to  serve  all  the  purposes  of  an  easel.  With 
each  table  there  is  a  revolving  chair,  the  same  as  used  in  the  class  rooms. 

School  of  practice. — The  school  of  practice  is  provided  with  double 
desks  of  primary  and  secondary  grade. 

Blackboards.— The  blackboards  throughout  the  building  are  slate  in 
walnut  frames,  with  shelf  for  eraser,  crayon,  &c.  They  are  4  feet  in 
width  and  from  5  to  25  feet  in  length.  In  the  lecture  rooms  they  are 
fitted  in  movable  supports,  arranged  to  reverse  at  will. 

Map  cases. — Map  cases  are  provided  in  all  rooms  in  which  geogra- 
phy and  history  are  taught.  In  these  the  maps  are  arranged  on  spring- 
rollers,  so  that  when  not  in  use  they  can  be  easily  rolled  up  out  of  sight 
and  kept  free  from  dust  and  exposure.

any  grammar  or  consolidated  school  to  secure  its  quota  of  pupils  at  said 
examination. 

No  pupil  of  any  grammar  or  consolidated  school  shall  be  allowed  to 
attend  said  examination  unless  her  name  appears  upon  a  certificate 
signed  by  the  principal  of  the  school  from  which  she  is  sent,  and  coun-

certificate  been  a  member  of  the  senior  class  of  the  school,  and  that  she 
will  be  at  least  fourteen  years  of  age  on  the  first  Monday  of  September 
following  the  date  of  the  certificate.

sity School  shall  each  be  entitled  to  send  four  pupils  who  are  of  the  re- 
quired age  to  said  examination  upon  a  certificate  signed  by  the  princi- 
pal and  visiting  directors  of  the  school,  and  two  of  said  pupils  shall,  if 
properly  qualified,  be  admitted  from  each  of  said  schools.

of  the  third  year  the  pupils  graduate  and  receive  their  diplomas.  The 
fourth  year  is  a  post  graduate  course,  and  none  can  receive  certificates 
of  qualification  to  teach  who  do  not  pursue  this  course.  Appended

and  the  adjective,  which  should  agree  together  in  number,  case,  and  gender,  he  made 
a  breach  thus — stopping,  as  if  the  point  wanted  settling;  and  betwixt  the  nominative 
case,  which,  your  lordship  knows,  should  govern  the  verb,  he  suspended  his  voice  in 
the  epilogue  a  dozen  times*  three  seconds  and  three-fifths  by  a  stop  watchj  my  lord, 
each  time.1*
