GENERAL INFORMATION 
 
 History of School 
 
 Frostburg became the home of Maryland’s second Normal school be¬ 
 cause the people of the town for several years previous to 1898 kept alive a 
 continuous agitation that such an institution be established and by an act 
 of the Maryland^Legislature 1898, passed through the efforts of Hon. James 
 Campbell of Barton, and Hon. David E. Dick of Lonaconing, $25,000 was 
 appropriated for the erection of a building at Frostburg to be known as 
 State Normal School No. 2, subject to the proviso that the people of Frost¬ 
 burg furnish the site and convey the same to the State. 
 
 The site purchased was^a beautiful park on East Loo street in the center 
 of which the main building was erected during 1901. 
 
 On September I5th. 1902, the doors of the school were opened to students 
 for the first time Three classes were formed: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior. 
 Full work began on the 18th. with the organization of primary classes in the 
 Model Department. This was accomplished through the co-operation of the 
 Board of School Commissioners for Allegany County, who transferred 
 pupils and teachers from the Beall School to the Normal. 
 
 Course Of Study 
 
 The Course of Study begins in the Freshman year with a careful review 
 of the major subjects of the Common-School branches, presented from both 
 the professional and the academic viewpoint—thus affording a two-fold ad - 
 vantage to the student. The study of the theory and the art of teaching 
 begins in the Junior year and continues throughout the course. In addition, 
 students will be required before graduation to do observation and practice 
 work in the Training School for at least one hour a day, for not less than’" 20 
 weeks, during the last vear. This is the keystone in the arch which Mary¬ 
 land expects her Normal Schools to build. 
 
 Tuition; Board; Scholarships 
 
 Tuition is free to those taking the Professional Course. Books will be 
 furnished free to all students. Board may be obtained near the school at 
 about four dollars ($4.00) a week. Letters to the principal on these sub¬ 
 jects will receive prompt attention. 
 
 Certificates; Diplomas 
 
 Upon graduation a diploma will be granted—entitling the holder to 
 teach in the schools of Maryland. After the expiration of two years of 
 successful work and upon fulfilment, of certain conditions, the seal of the 
 State Board of Education is affixed, and the diploma becomes a life certifi¬ 
 cate. 
 
 The Training School 
 
 This department is in charge of scholarly and experienced teachers. 
 Work begins with the primary grades, and every opportunity is afforded for 
 observation and practice under expert direction. Primary manual training, 
 in correlation with other work, is an integral factor. 
 
 This department consists of a school of eight grades housed in a new 
 model school building, secured through the efforts of the Hon. Frank G. 
 Metzger of Frostburg, a member of the Legislature of 1912. 
 
 The new model school is equipped with a splendid gymnasium for the us^ 
 of Normal school pupils.

 FUTURE 
 
 The future of every institution must be judged by its 
 past. Like a tree it is known by its fruits. Thus far the 
 Frostburg State Normal School has given to Maryland a type 
 of graduates of which the State may well be proud, for they 
 have won success in every field in which their labors have 
 been called. By their examples and high ideals they are 
 leading the youth of the State into a higher and nobler con¬ 
 ception of true womanhood and manhood.
