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. Duties of teachers as governed by School Law. CALENDAR. The terms commence and end as indicated by the following: CALENDAR FOR THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR 1893-94. The Autumn Term will commence September 4, 1893, and close December 8, 1893. The Winter Term will commence December 11, 1893. and close March 9, The Spring Term will commence March 12, 1893, and close June 8, 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 Court but any vacancies occuring 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 new ones reporting, will lead to the forfeiture of their appointments. The strictest attention to study, and most punctuality in attendance on recitations and 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:

ARKANSAS INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITY. EXPENSES. 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 mouth. 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 April 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, 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 Missouri Pacific and St. Louis Southwestern Railroads. The school building, completed in 1881, and occupied January 30, 1882, is one of the handsomest 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 best modern style.

The Normal Course of study, as will be seen by reference to page 17, is not what goes by that name in many 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 branches of higher mathematics, and having less in Greek.

0021 22

BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGE 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 the course are intended to rank as the Freshman 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 three 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; 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 Gazetteer, 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 Encyclopaedia Brirtanica, 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 resources of this institution.

0022 23

ARKANSAS INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITY. THE DORMITORY.

FEMALE DORMITORY AND BOARDING HOUSE. OF BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGE.

The Dormitory for female students is under the supervision or 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 of 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.

GENERAL 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 a 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.

0023 24

BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGE 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. NOTICE. At 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 said student 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 certificate 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.

Department of Mechanic Arts. FACULTY. C.V. KERR, Superintendent of Mechanic Arts. W.S. HARRIS, Superintendent and Instructor in Wood Shops and Foundry. A.E. SMITH, Instructor in Blacksmith and Machine Shops. LORENZO ELLIS, Engineer.

EQUIPMENT. BUILDINGS.-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 35. A boiler room 20 x 25, and a court 35 x 20 occupy the remaining space.

WOOD SHOP.-The equipment already secured includes 12 benches with complete sets of carpenter's 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 3/3 inch iron.

MACHINE SHOPS.-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, 18 x 6 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 a position, also two 30-horse power tubular boilers. The piping from feed water is so arranged that the water passes from either pump or injector through 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 gallons of water per hour. A cook pump delivers the water to a tank 30 feet above ground, holding 5000 gallons.

0025 26

BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGE SANITARY PROVISIONS.-The shops are thoroughly well 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 Shop 18 Foundry 12 Forge Shop 12 Machine Shop 14 Tool Rooms 2 Boiler Room 2 __ 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 over three years, followed by a fourth year's 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 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 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.

Annual Report to Department of the Interior OF THE BRANCH NORMAL COLLEGE, PINE BLUFF, ARK. To the Honorable Commissioner of Education, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of the Interior:

GENTLEMEN:-In accordance with Section 3 of the act of Congress approved August 30, 1890, I have the honor to transmit my report of the Branch Normal College of Arkansas Industrial University, for the year ending June 30, 1893.

Name of institution-Branch Normal College of Arkansas Industrial University, Post Office-Pine Bluff, State-Arkansas. 1.-CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THE INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1893. The institution was originally established and derived its name from the fact that it is a branch of the Arkansas Industrial University, intended, originally, to train teachers for the colored public schools of the State-a function which it still retains, It is managed by the Board of Trustees of the Arkansas Industrial University, of which the Governor of the State is ex-officio President. It was established pursuant to an act of the General Assembly of the State, approved April 25th, 1873, and has been in operation since September 27th, 1875. The school building, completed in 1881, and occupied January 30th, 1885, is one of the handsomest educational edifices in the State, with slate roof, facings of Alabama granite, and furniture and equipment of the best modern style. It contains a large library of over two thousand volumes, an excellent supply of chemical and other physical apparatus, and a reading room well supplied with current literature. Its courses are: I.-The regular Collegiate. II.-The Normal. III.-The Preparatory.

The Normal course is fully equivalent to the first two years of the regular college course, and is what most of the students content themselves with taking.

The Dormitory for females is a brick building of seventeen rooms, handsomely furnished.

0029 30

The grounds upon which the buildings stand consists of twenty acres, valued at $25.000.

The attendance for the current year was 241 students, with 10 instructors.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANIC ART. Since the institution was, by act of the General Assembly, designated as a beneficiary of three-elevenths of the proceeds of the Morrill fund, a building has been erected for the accommodation of this department.

The annexed description of this building, its equipments, etc., is from the regular catalogue of the institution:

EQUIPMENT. BUILDINGS.-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 occupy the remaining space.

WOOD SHOP.-The equipment already secured includes 12 benches with complete sets of carpenter's tools, a double-circular sawing machine, a scroll saw; a buzz planer and six wood turning lathes.

FOUNDRY.-A Colliau cupola capable of melting 1 1/2 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 SHOPS.-Among the tools already ordered and partly in place are a 15 inch crank shaper,24 x 24 x 6 feet planner, 20 inch drill press, 15 inch X 5 feet turret lathe, 18 x 6 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 from 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.

SANITARY PROVISIONS.-The shops are thoroughly well 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.

ARKANSAS INDUSTRIAL UNIVERSITY. We are therefore prepared to offer: (a) A course in general shop work extending over three year, followed by a fourth year's 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 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.

The shops will accommodate about sixty students, which is the number employed in them during the current year. These students spent two hours per day in the shops, the remainder of the time being spent or devoted to literary work.

THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION. In this department no results of importance were secured during the year. The Board of Trustees secured some land in Jefferson county for the purpose of such a station, but upon trial it proved to be unsatisfactory, and other lands in Ouachita county were secured at too late a date for anything to be accomplished.

It was suggested that the twenty acres of land in the suburbs of Pine Bluff should be used for experimental purposes, but as they were entirely new and partly covered with forest, nothing was done except to sow them with various grasses, such as Herd's grass, blue grass, orchard grass and clover.
