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
as a part of the State University, offers its services to school authorities
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. Extensive
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.

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 two full years 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.
EXTENSION CENTERS.
The Department will encourage the organization of extension courses
in convenient centers, for teachers in service. Members of the Education
Faculty will personally instruct any such classes organized. Arrangements
can be made to offer courses in Educational Psychology and Mental
Tests, Secondary Education and Educational Tests and Measurements.
each week. Credit toward meeting the professional requirements for certificates
will be allowed by the State Board of Education.
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 visit the schools to be tested, train teachers in the use of the
tests and personally 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.
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.
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
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 97. 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.
APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES.
The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As
necessary expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory
fees, lodging, board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling
expenses, or pocket money. Three estimates are given—a low,
an average, and a liberal estimate. The difference in the three depends
on the difference of expenditure for board, lodging, books, and laundry—
in other words, on the scale of living of the individual student. If a student
shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest economy,
he may possibly reduce his expenses below the low estimate.
