LOCATION.

Monmouth, the seat of the Oregon State Normal School, is in Polk County, two miles west of the Willamette River, fourteen miles southwest of Salem by road, and seventy miles from Portland by rail. It is on a rich, rolling prairie, dotted with groves of oak and fir. On the west the Coast range of mountains, with the intervening foothills, presents a scene of beauty not to be surpassed anywhere. On the east is first a range of hills at a distance of seven miles,

varying from five hundred to one thousand feet in height, through which the Willamette River has cut its way to Eola. Beyond these hills, at a distance of forty miles, is the Cascade Range, with Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, and the Three Sisters lifting their snow-capped summits about two miles in vertical height. East of the normal buildings, within two and one half miles, are two lines of railway, one passing through Monmouth and one through Independence, on both of which the trains are in plain view from the normal buildings, as well as the boats plying the Willamette River. Every one who visits Monmouth is impressed with the great beauty of the surroundings.

Saloons, gambling-houses, and other dens of vice are strictly prohibited by town charter and ordinances. It would be difficult to conceive more favorable surroundings for such a school as the normal.

BUILDINGS.

The new building is a fine brick structure, especially designed for and adapted to the work of the Normal School.

The gymnasium is a very important addition to our work. Though not entirely equipped, it is being used with much profit.

COURSES OF STUDY.

The courses of study, as arranged, have a two-fold object: (1) To give thorough scholarship in the subjects studied; and (2) to give a broad and comprehensive view of the philosophy of education, together with a clear understanding of the methods of government and instruction.

The Elementary Course fits persons for teaching in the common schools. Those who complete this course may receive a certificate to that effect from the President, provided they have spent not less than two full terms at the normal, and been regular in attendance at the teachers' classes.

The Regular Course includes all the work necessary to fit persons as principals or teachers in any grade of public school. Graduates in this course receive a diploma from the Board of Regents, which confers upon them the degree of Bachelor of Scientific Didactics, and authorizes them to teach in any public school in the State without further examination. These diplomas are also honored in our sister States, our graduates, receiving certificates in those States without examination.

The Advance Course is specially intended for those who wish to fit themselves for the highest departments of educational work. There is now a large demand for men of this class. A careful examination of the work in this course will show it to be very practical and of about the same grade as the scientific course provided in our best colleges. The degree of Master of Scientific Didactics is conferred on the completion of this course.
