It was written by Frank Eaton, teacher of mathematics in the Nova Scotia Normal School, Truro, Nova Scotia from 1878 to 1899. The Provincial Normal School for the education of teachers was established by an act of the Legislature in the Nova Scotia House of assembly on March 31st, 1854. The Normal School opened in a wooden building on November 14, 1855, facing a street now named Prince Street, in Truro with sixty-four students. A new, larger building on the same site was opened on November 14, 1877. A Science building was constructed adjacent to the Normal School building and opened in 1901. The name of institution changed three times: in 1909 to the Provincial Normal College, in 1951 to Nova Scotia Normal College and in 1961 to the Nova Scotia Teachers College. |
