She actually loaned me two - the Normal School Science book as well, also belonging to Helen Scott. I gave her back the Science book last year - it had drawings in it. <br /><br />Just couldn't give up this book, but had not had time to go through it or figure out how I could work with it - because of the circle project and all that busy career stuff - but now I do plan to return it to her in the next few weeks. <br /><br />Sad to let it go. I've photographed it and copied the text into my laptop. <br /><br />Yes, it is a treasure.<br />xJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-20940633609156285422015-02-11T12:05:37.440-05:002015-02-11T12:05:37.440-05:00Oh, if I came across such a treasure I think I wou...Oh, if I came across such a treasure I think I would wet myself in excitement!

Hre is a statement from Karori Normal School which I visited in the course of my training years ago.<br /><br />KNS is a ‘Normal School’. As a ‘Normal School’ we have an ongoing relationship with Victoria University of Wellington regarding Initial Teacher Education. We play an active role in the training of student teachers and providing input to the university about the training programmes offered for student teachers. This relationship is a very positive one for our school. We endeavour to offer high-quality models of practical classroom teaching, to provide the link for student teachers with the theoretical emphasis of the university.Wendy Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025479513699228984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-36418672868050291002015-02-10T18:49:42.732-05:002015-02-10T18:49:42.732-05:00judy, closeby is suny potsdam, once called potsdam...judy, closeby is suny potsdam, once called potsdam normal school. it was a teacher's college within new york state's university system. i(i have degrees from buffalo and potsdam state-both were teacher's colleges once upon a time). here's a url for more info on potsdam, which is located about 25 miles from the canadian border. http://www.potsdam.edu/about/bicentennial/history.cfmVelma Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446502295849533888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-9129439568640862432015-02-10T18:32:32.942-05:002015-02-10T18:32:32.942-05:00I love the name 'normal' school.
