Normal and Model Schools "Expenses Reduced!" brochure, ca. 1878 · Item · 1878
Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

This brochure offers insight into the Normal and Model Schools' course offerings, their tuition and expenses rates, and some of the principles underlying the school's education. The gender division of the Model School (but not the Normal School) is of particular note, as is the significantly higher annual tuition for the Model School. No transcription.

New Jersey State Normal School (Trenton, N.J.)
"The Morning-Evening News" (satirical newspaper), 1942 · Item · 1942
Part of TFPL New Jersey State Normal and Model Schools at Trenton and Successor Institutions Collection

The circumstances surrounding this clearly satirical newspaper, and its relationship with The Signal, remain partly unknown. However, it probably relates to a student production of the comedy "Beggar on Horseback" by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly. The rather morbid cover story seems to be a riff on the events of the play, with students appearing under the names of the characters they played. Other "news" stories appear throughout, alongside "advertisements" with the names and members of school organizations, as well as illustrations. Several advertisements related to buying bonds to support the United States in World War Two also are present. No transcription.
