This book presents a fascinating historical account of the Bridgewater Normal School, a college that trained teachers for rural schools in Massachusetts from its founding in 1840 until its closure in 1964. As the first state-funded teacher training college in America, this school was groundbreaking in its mission to provide a high-quality teacher education for women and men. The author meticulously reconstructs the lives of the faculty, staff and students who made Bridgewater what it was, and captivatingly portrays the educational, social, and personal lives of those who shaped the institution over time. The author provides a complex analysis of the challenges faced by a normal school during a period of dynamic change in American education, from the integration of new disciplines to the national debate over teacher training standards. By exploring the evolution of Bridgewater, this book illuminates the evolving role of the normal school within a larger historical narrative of education and social change in America.
