HISTORY.
The Curry Memorial School of Education was founded in 1905 as one
of the academic schools of the University. It was endowed by gifts of
$100,000 from John D. Rockefeller and $50,000 from the General Education
Board, and was named in honor of Dr. J. L. M. Curry, the Southern
educator. There were originally two professorships in the School, the
Curry Memorial Professorship of Education and the Professorship of Secondary
Education. In 1914 a chair of Educational Psychology and Principles
of Teaching was added to the School, and two years later a Professorship
of School Administration was established.
In 1919 the School was organized into a Department of the University,
with four professorships, and was placed upon a professional basis
similar to that of the Departments of Law, Medicine and Engineering.
The relation of the Department of Education to the various academic
schools of the University remains close, however, since the academic
training of students of Education is obtained in the academic schools,
and courses in Education are credited toward the academic degrees.
PURPOSE.
The rapid development of educational science and practice has made
it necessary that ample provision be made for the professional training
of those who expect to teach or to administer school affairs. It is the
main purpose of the Department of Education to provide opportunity for
such professional training. Since education is of great importance as an
agency of Democracy and as an aspect of civilization, the Department also
aims to provide courses of cultural value for citizens generally. In addition
to affording opportunities for study and training, the Department,
throughout Virginia, with a desire to coöperate in the solution of practical
educational problems and in the furtherance of public education.
PEABODY HALL.
Peabody Hall, the Education Building, was named in honor of George
Peabody, who in 1867 made his great gift to the cause of education in
the South. The building was made possible through a gift of $40,000 from
the trustees of the Peabody Education Fund. This amount was supplemented
by an appropriation of $12,000 from the Rector and Visitors of the
University. The building was completed in 1912, and is the home of the
Curry Memorial Department of Education.
The plans were drawn by a modern school architect, and approved by
the leading authorities on school architecture in this country who were
consulted before its erection. It is, therefore, a model of excellence in
this regard. It is one of the best equipped buildings in the University,
and has ample classroom and laboratory facilities, and an excellent auditorium
equipped with a modern motion picture machine. Modern requirements
in heating, lighting and ventilation are exemplified in its construction
without sacrificing conformity to the general style of classic
architecture prevailing in the University.
THE HECK MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
The Department of Education maintains its own library in Peabody
Hall, named in honor of the first professor of Education in the University,
the late Professor William Harry Heck. The library consists of numerous
select books covering every field of Education, a complete file of the
publications of the United States Bureau of Education, various national,
state and foreign documents, State School Laws, State Superintendents'
Reports, City Superintendents' Reports, etc. Files of the leading educational
magazines are available for free use of the students. Exhibits of
school textbooks are at hand for comparative studies.
OBSERVATION AND DIRECTED TEACHING.
Ample laboratory facilities are made available through the coöperation
of the public schools of the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle.
Arrangements have been made whereby students in Education will do
observation work and directed teaching in the city schools under close
supervision by the City Superintendent of Schools and the Education
Faculty.
This arrangement gives the Department adequate facilities for effective
practical work by every candidate for a degree in Education. The
city school system consists of three schools, two elementary schools, one
for whites and one for colored, and one high school. The new McGuffey
Elementary School is a model of modern school architecture. The Midway
81 classes meeting daily.
Besides work in observation and directed teaching, the city schools
are also available for studies in school administration, secondary education
and educational psychology. Certain well-qualified students will be assigned
special problems to study under the direction of the Superintendent
of Schools and the Education Faculty.
Arrangements have been made whereby the schools of Albemarle
County become a part of the laboratory system of the Department of Education.
Students in School Administration and Secondary Education
will be required to study the organization and supervision of the county
system of schools. Advanced students may be assigned to make special
studies under the supervision of the Division Superintendent of Schools
and the Education Faculty.

COLLEGIATE PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE.
Recipients of the Bachelor of Science in Education will receive the
Collegiate Professional Certificate, the highest form of certificate for high-school
teachers issued by the State Board of Education. This certificate
is valid for ten years, renewable for a similar period, and entitles the holder
to teach in both high and elementary schools in Virginia.
Holders of Collegiate Certificates, the certificate of second rank issued
by the State Board of Education, may obtain the Collegiate Professional
Certificate by attending the University one session and taking four three-session-hour
courses in Education.
Curricula organized to meet the requirements for the Bachelor of Science
in Education will fulfill the professional requirements for the highest
form of professional and collegiate high school certificates issued by the
state departments of education in the other southern states.
SPECIAL CERTIFICATES IN HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECTS.
Students who find it necessary to leave college to teach before completing
their full course may be issued special certificates by the State Board
of Education to teach any high-school subjects in which they have completed
six session-hours of study of college grade. These students should
plan to take two courses in Education during their second year in order to
become familiar with school problems.
COURSES FOR TEACHERS IN SERVICE.
Saturday courses in any subject offered in the Department of Education
will be arranged at the University for teachers in service, if requested
by at least five teachers. Degree credit will be allowed on the same basis
as in the regular courses, provided that not more than one and one-half
session-hours' credit shall be given for the work in any course for one year.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION TEACHING COURSES.
Extension teaching courses are courses of instruction corresponding
closely with those regularly given in the University by regular members
of the faculty, and are under the administration, supervision and control of
the University, for the benefit of persons unable to attend the regular
courses of instruction and to take work in residence. Each course represents
a definite amount of study corresponding to an equivalent amount of
work done in residence at the University, and when completed satisfactorily
by persons meeting the entrance requirements of the University, receives
the same credit as if taken in residence.
Extension teaching classes in Education, conducted by members of the
faculty of the Department of Education, were organized in the session of
1921-22, under the Bureau of Extension of the University, in Arlington
County, Danville, Roanoke, Schoolfield, Staunton and Waynesboro.
Extension Teaching Courses will be organized upon application for
them in as many centers as possible, if a sufficient number (usually not
fewer than fifteen) apply for them. Application for such courses should be
made to the Director of University Extension, Box 149, University, Virginia.
THE SUMMER QUARTER.
The Summer Quarter is an integral part of the University year. Courses
in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the Department of Education,
are the same in character and in credit value as in any other Quarter
of the University. Degrees are conferred upon men and women upon exactly
the same terms for work done in the Summer Quarter when the degree
requirements are fully met. Sixty-three session-hours of undergraduate
courses, taken in conformity with the requirements published herewith, are
required for the Bachelor's degree. Those who contemplate completing
their degree requirements in the Summer Quarter should keep clearly in
mind, in estimating the time that will be required, that the normal amount
of credit which may be taken in one Summer Quarter is six session-hours.
Candidates for a degree who desire credit for work done at other colleges
must satisfy the entrance requirements for regular students and must,
in addition, file with the Dean of the Summer Quarter a certificate covering
the courses for which college credit is desired. This certificate must be acceptable
both to the Dean of the Summer Quarter and to the Dean of the
Department in which the degrees will be obtained. The certificate must
bear the official signature of the head of the candidate's college and must
specify the character and content of the courses passed by the candidate
and must give his grade. In every case the candidate must spend at least
three full Summer Quarters at the University in order to meet the residence
requirements.
The Master's degree may be obtained in three Summer Quarters. In
no case is this degree to be conferred upon any person who has not attended
and done graduate work three full Summer Quarters or the equivalent time
in the regular session of the University and the Summer Quarter. The demand
for graduate work in the Summer Session of 1921 was so great that
in future sessions the number of graduate courses will be largely increased.
All persons who are looking forward ultimately to taking a degree
through summer work are urgently requested to file with the Dean of the
Summer Quarter an official statement of their entrance requirements and
work for which college credit is desired. Blanks for this purpose will be
mailed upon application.
BUREAU OF TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS.
Educational Tests.—The Department of Education maintains a Bureau
of Tests and Measurements as a feature of its extra-University service.
Select standard tests in school subjects will be supplied to cities, counties
and individual schools at cost. Members of the Faculty of Education will
direct the giving and scoring of them, provided the necessary traveling
expenses are borne by the schools served.
Mental Tests.—In connection with its work in educational psychology,
the Department undertakes to assist school authorities in the diagnosis and
training of backward and gifted children. Assistance will be rendered in
the making of mental surveys and the establishment of special classes. A
clinic will be maintained for the study of cases accessible to the University
and the services of the professor in charge will be available to any community
in Virginia at the cost of the necessary test materials and traveling
expenses.
Any school official desiring the services of the Bureau of Tests and
Measurements should address the Dean of the Department of Education.
BUREAU OF APPOINTMENTS.
The University of Virginia maintains a Bureau of Appointments in
charge of a committee consisting of Professors J. L. Manahan, W. R.
Smithey, J. C. Metcalf and I. F. Lewis. The services of the bureau are
free to all teachers and prospective teachers seeking positions in secondary
schools (both public and private), normal schools, and colleges. Correspondence
with regard to appointment should be addressed to the Bureau
of Appointments (J. L. Manahan, Director), University, Virginia.
PHI DELTA KAPPA FRATERNITY.
A chapter of the national honorary educational fraternity of Phi Delta
Kappa has been organized in connection with the Department of Education.
Under the constitution of the fraternity, only those students are eligible to
membership who expect to make teaching or administration of schools a permanent
vocation, and who give evidence of superior qualities of character,
scholarship and initiative. The standards of scholarship governing election
to membership in the fraternity are similar to those prescribed for election
to Phi Beta Kappa.
The purpose of the fraternity as stated in its constitution is "to develop
among the students of Education at the University of Virginia the spirit of
`Research, Service and Leadership,' " and to endeavor by every worthy
means at its command to create and foster fellowship and true fraternalism
among the members of the society.
EDUCATION CLUB.
An Education Club is conducted for the purpose of fostering a scientific
study of educational problems. Membership is open to all students
taking courses in Education, teachers, principals and superintendents
now in service, and members of the faculty of the University who are willing
to lend their influence and efforts toward placing the teaching profession
in Virginia and the South on a professional basis.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
In order to encourage the training of teachers, the General Assembly
of Virginia, in 1918, founded one hundred and nineteen Virginia State
Teachers' Scholarships, one for each School Division in the State. The
emolument is free lodging, heat, light and janitor service in the university
dormitories. The holder of one of these scholarships must be a Virginian
needing financial assistance in order to attend the University, and
he must pledge himself to engage in some form of school work in the
State for at least two years, or, failing this, to repay to the University the
value of the scholarship. Appointments are made prior to September 1,
upon the recommendation of Division Superintendents of Schools. If
any Superintendent fails to make a recommendation, the vacancy thus
created may be filled from the State at large by the President of the University.
Blank forms of application will be sent upon request.
In addition to the Virginia State Teachers' Scholarships, there are a
number of other scholarships in the University available for students of
Education. A detailed description of them is given in the General Catalogue
of the University.
LOAN FUNDS AND STUDENT SELF-HELP.
The University is in possession of funds from which loans are made
to deserving students in need of such assistance. An account of these
loans is given in the General Catalogue, page 106. Inquiries concerning
them should be addressed to the Bursar.
Opportunities for obtaining remunerative employment are afforded
to students who are desirous by this means of partially paying their way
through the University. It is difficult to give definite assurance of employment
to a student before he reaches the University, but it may be
stated that any student with sufficient resources to carry him through the
first half of the session can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which
will help defray his expense for the rest of the academic year. Information
as to employment may be obtained from the secretary of the Committee
on Student Self-Help, Madison Hall, University, Virginia.
EXPENSES.
The necessary expenses of a Virginia student in the Department of
Education may be estimated at from $320 a year upward, according
to the mode of living; for students from other States, $510 upward.
A fuller statement of expenses will be found on pages 93-98 of the General
Catalogue.
