REPORT.
To the State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
and the Regents of the University:
"The Executive Committee of the State Normal School
Respectrutty Report: ’
That the whole number of pupils in attendance during the past
year, which embraces the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth terms,
has been two hundred and ninety-two ; fifty-eight of these, twenty
males and thirty-cight females, having completed the course of
study specified in the document accompanying this report, have
received the diploma of the institution, and are. now, with very
few exceptions engaged in teaching the schools of the State. The
whole number of pupils who have enjoyed the advantages of the
school for a longer or. shorter period, to September, 1858, is
8,068. Nine counties, viz: Essex, Delaware, Hamilton, Herki-
mer, Kings, Lewis, Ontario, Richmond and Tioga, havé not been:
represented in the school during the past-year. 'Thirty-oné coun:
_ ties were represented by the graduating classes. The following
table presents the number of pupils‘and graduates for each term,
from the commencement of the school:

From this table it will be seen that a large number have been
connected with the school, who have not completed the prescribed
course of ‘study. Each year: an -average of one hundred and
twenty under graduates leave the institution professedly to engage
in the -work.of teaching. Many country schools which cannot
command the services of more thoroughly qualified teachers, are
accustomed to supply themselves-entirely from this class. Their
influence in improving the character of the instruction commonly
given in our public schools, cannot be disregarded, and upon in-
quiry it has been ascertained, that a large number of these are
occupying the highest positions as teachers, and several are at
the present time, successfully discharging the duties of commis-
sioners of schools in their respective Assembly districts,
Present Number and Classification of Pupils.
- The 29th term, or the first of the fifteenth year of the State
Normal School, commenced on the third Monday in September last.
The number of pupils in attendance is 241, and the. counties
which failed to send pupils to the school during the terms embraced
in this report, are now represented, with. the. exceptions of
Hamilton and Richmond. The students are arranged in four
classes: Sub-Junior, Junior, Sub-Senior and Senior,—a classifi-
cation extending the course.of study through two entire years.
These classes are also sub-divided for convenience in recitations.
The classification of the pupils will be seen from the present table =

Notwithstanding the entire devotion of the first week of each
term to the examination of the new appointees, great difficulty is
experienced in properly classifying them, owing to the exceeding
inequality of theit attainments in the different branches. The
greater portion of them, and those even who have taught more
or less, previous to entering the school, having had. in the ar-
rangement of their antecedent course of study, no guide but their
own will, are found most deficient in the elementary branches.
It is by no means uncommon, to find a pupil quite proficient in
Algebra or Geometry, and yet unable to explain the simplest.
rule in Arithmetic, to give the boundaries of his own State, or to
construe a common prose sentence; not to speak of his deficien-
cies in the still more indispensable branches of elementary in-
struction, orthography, reading and penmanship. To overlook
these deficiencies in the classification is wholly out of the ques-
tion, and hence in the arrangement of the pupils’ studies so as to
remedy these defects, it is impossible to avoid occasioning great
disappointment and dissatisfaction, often resulting in his imme-
diate withdrawal from school. And even when no such dissatis-
faction is felt, it is impossible, without an entire derangenient of
the course of instruction, to prevent the greater or less continu-
ance of this inequality of attainments, through the whole period
of preparation for the business of teaching, and its evils-from
being carried into subsequent life and labor.
Course of Study and Physical Education.
While, for reasons given at length in the last report, no change
has been make in the course of study, the committee have found
it necessary to give a direct and special attention to the physical
education of the pupils in the Normal, school. The laudable
ambition of students to excel in scholarship, often leads them to
disregard the ordinary rules of health, so that not unfrequently
the disciplining of the mind, preparatory to future usefulness, is
completed at the expense of both the physical health and mental
vigor necessary to a true efficiency and an ultimate success. “The
6 [Assemmiy
increased attention which, in view of this fact, is being given to
this branch of education in the schools of our large towns and
cities, also renders it essential that the teachers who go out from
this institution should be competent to give systematic instruction
in that branch. The committee have therefore added to the
established outline of study, a course of gymnastic exercises, in
which the-pupils are required to engage daily, under the direction
of a competent instructor.
See of Pupils.
It will be seen from the document accompanying this report
that the number of young men in the school is only one-third of
the whole number of students. Attention has been called to this
disproportion in previous years, and inquiry made as to its causes,
Whatever these causes may be, there appears to be no good rea-
son fcr expecting a change with reference to the fact itself; for
while the demand of the larger public schools, for principals or
higher teachers, is such as to offer ample iuducements to young
men of the right character and capacity to engage in the profes-
sion of teaching, it is also true, that in the great majority of our
district schools, the choice as to teachers must lie wholly between
young men of inferior qualifications, with no particular regard for
the business, and with no other object in view than that of tem-
porary employment or immediate pecuniary advantage; and young
women who certainly possess greater natural fitness for the work,
who find it an object to prepare themselves thoroughly for its
duties, who enter upon the business with a real love for it, and
who prosecute it for years in succession. When, in addition to
the superior qualifications of the latter class, we take. into account
the greater relative success of female teachers in our primary and
district schools, it is not difficult to see upon which ‘side ‘the
public demand must of necessity preponderate, and why no change
is therefore to. be expected. :
It farther becomes a matter of doubt, whether any change other
than that of an increased thoroughness in the professional train-
ing of those upon whom the work of teaching must. thus fall, is
eyen desirable. Many of the school commissioners are already
calling the attention of trustees to the fact that, setting aside
other advantages as a simple matter of economy, they can far
better afford to employ the higher grade of female teachers for
the entire year, at an advance upon their present rates of compen-
sation, than to virtually throw away (as is. too often done), the
No. 70.] 1
same funds upon temporary malé teachers of the inferior grade
specified. : 2
No comparison is here instituted between male and female
teachers, as such, nor is the quéstion 6f relative compensation at
all raised; the point under consideration is simply this: With only
a choice between the two classes of teachers above specified, what
must be considered as the true policy of our public school officers?
what must be its influence upon the two sexes, as it regards the
number of candidates for the business of teaching, which they
shall respectively furnish, and what must be its effects upon our
public schools at large? As to the last, while it would be wholly
premature to attempt an answer at the present time, this much
may be submitted, that perhaps in no other direction has there
been suggested a more direct, comprehensive and promising mode
‘of elevating the standard of instruction in our public schools
generally, and of securing greater stability in the business of
teaching. .
Faculty.
At the close of the twenty-seventh term, Miss. Emily A. Rice
resigned her position as assistant te:.cher of arithmetic and gram-
mar, to accept a prominent. position in the Schenectady High
School,
At the same time Mr. Tully C. Estee resigned the position of
teacher of vocal music and penmanship; which he had held: since
September, 1854. The committee were fortunate in securing Mr.
Ferdinand F. Miller, well known as a former professor in the
Boston Musical Academy, to take charge of.the classes in vocal
music, and the committee bear unqualified testimony.to the suc-
cess with which he has discharged the duties of hié department.
The following is a full list of the present officers of the school:
DAVID H. COCHRAN, A. M., .
Principal, and Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy.
GEORGE W. PLYMPTON, A. M.,
Professor of Mathematics.
EDWARD F. B. ORTON, A. M.,
Professor of the Natnral’ Sciences.

ALBERT N. HUSTED,
Teacher of Arithmetic and Algebra.
LOUISA OSTROM,
Teacher of History and Drawing.
MARY E. BUTLER,
‘Teacher of Geography and Reading.
Library and Apparatus.
Since the last report, 144 volumes have been added to the text
book library. An addition of about the same. number of volumes
will be required at the commencement of the next term, to supply
the place of books too much worn to be longer used.
To the miscellaneous library a few volumes for reference have
been added; otherwise it remains the same as at the date of last
report. All the apparatus has been compared with inventories,
and found to be in satisfactory condition.
Experimental. Scheol.
This school, in which the teaching is entirely performed by the
members of the graduating class, and which is designed to furnish
them: the opportunity for applying, under the direction of the
proper officer, the modes of instruction imparted in the Norntal
-school, fully accomplishes the object for which it was established.
There still continues to be a greater number of applicants than
can be accommodated. A tuition fee of $12.50 per term for each
pupil not only renders the school self-sustaining, but causes it’ to
contribute to the support of the Normal school.’ “The pupils of
this school at present are:
Pay pupils,
Free pupils, (Indian,) .....-.-2.21222.- 2
Building.
During the year included in this report, an expenditure of
nearly $1,000 has been made in repairs. The preservation of the
building peremptorily demanded this outlay, which a more sub-
stantial construction originally would have enabled the committee
to avoid. : - ~
A statement of all receipts and expenditures, from September,
1857, to September, 1858, is: appended to. this report, and the
vouchers for every payment are in the hands of the committee,

CIRCULAR
The Normal School of the State of New York was established
by an act of the Legislature, in 1844, “for the instruction and
practice of teachers of common schools in the science of educa-
tion and the art of teaching.” It was first established for five
years, as an experiment, and went. into operation on the 18th of
December, 1844, ina building: provided: gratuitously by the city
of Albany, and temporarily fitted up for that purpose. The first
term opened with twenty-nine pupils, and closed with ninety-seven.
The number in attendance-the second term was about two hun
dred. The average number is,now about two hundred and fifty.
In 1848 an act was passed by the Legislature, “for the perma-
nent establishment of the State Normal school,” appropriating
$15,000 towards the erection of a suitable building. The follow-
ing year an additional. appropriation of $10,000 was made for
its completion. A large and commodious edifice, containing a
dwelling-house for the’ principal, was accordingly erected on the
corner of Lodge and Howard streets, adjoining the State Geolo-
gical and Agricultural rooms. To this building the school was
removed on the 31st of July, 1849.
The design of this institution is to improve the condition of
common schools, by providing a class of teachers superior in
professional scholarship and practical skill, to those ordinarily
furnished by institutions not having this end specifically in view,
and it is confidently believed, from experience, that the condition
of admission, the course of study adopted and the class drill pur-
sued are well calculated to secure this object.
Each county in the State. is entitled to send to the school a
number of pupils (either male .or female) equal to twice the
number of members of the Assembly in such county. The pupils
are appointed by the Assembly district school commissioners, at a
meeting called by ‘the Superintendent of Public Instruction, on
the first Mondays of February and September in each year. A
list of the vacancies at the close of each term is forwarded to the |
commissioners, -and published in the papers of the city of Albany.
Persons failing to receive appointments in their respective
counties, may, upon presenting testimonials of character and
No. 70.] a1
talents, and sustaining the prescribed examination, receive appoint-
ments from the executive committee, provided any vacancics
exist. In such case the pupil will not réceive mileage.
Pupils once admitted to the school will be entitled to its privi-
leges until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by volun-
tary absence, by improper conduct, or by failing to exhibit good
evidences of scholarship and fair promise of success as teachers.
The following is the form of certificate of appointment which
is to be given by the commissioners to each pupil appointed :
At a meeting of the school commissioners of the county of
held at on the day of
for the purpose of filling vacancies in the State Normal school,
was duly appointed a pupil of that institution.
(Signed by the commissioners.)
Qualifications of Applicants.
Females sent to the school must be at least sixteen years of age,
and males eighteen, and in all-cases decided maturity of mind is
indispensable.
Candidates for admission’ to the lowest class must sustain a
thorough examination in reading, spelling, the geography of the
western continent, intellectual arithmetic, equal to one-half of .the
ordinary treatises, written arithmetic through interest, and so
much of English grammar as to be able to analyze and parse any
ordinary prose sentence.
For admission to the advanced classes, in addition to those re-
quired for entrance examination, all the studies of the preceding
classes must have been accomplished. The time required to com-
plete the course will depend on the attainments, habits and talents
of the pupil. It ought never to exceed four terms, or two years,
All the pupils, on entering the school, are required to sign the
following declaration:
* We, the subscribers, hereby pecuars, that it is our intention to
devote ourselves to the business of teaching the schools of the State,
ani that our sole object in resorting to this Normal School is the better
to prepare ourselves for this important duty.
It is expected of the commissioners that they will select. such
pupils as will sacredly fulfil their engagements in this particular,
and they should be made acquainted with its import, before they
are appointed.
The following extracts from a circular issued to the town su-
perintendents, by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
clearly present the qualifications which are deemed essential :
22 [Asstuany
“The town superintendents are directed to give the most ex-
tended notice in their power, of vacancies, and to interest them-
selves in finding proper pupils to be appointed. 2
“Jn making the selections, those who from past successful ex-
perience have proved their aptness to teach, or from traits of cha-
racter, clearly developed, give. fair promise of future success,
should be preferred. Talents not below mediocrity, unblemished
morals and sound health, are regarded as indispensable. In your
visitations of the schools, you will sometimes find teachers who
only need the instruction which this school is designed to give, to
ensure their highest success and usefulness; or pupils who have
given proof of good scholarship, which, by being properly directed,
may be made of great value in the cause of education. Such
teachers and scholars you will encourage to seek these appoint-
ments.”
Privileges of the. Pupils.
All pupils receive their tuition free. They are also furnished
with the use of text-books without charge. They are, however,
held responsible for their loss or injury. If they already own the
books of the course, they will do well to bring them, together -
with such other books for reference as they may possess. Besides
this, each student receives three cents a mile on the distance from
his county seat to Albany, to defray traveling expenses. No
pupil will receive mileage, unless the appointment is obtained from
the county in which said pupil resides, such appointment being
regularly made by the commissioners. This money is paid at the
close of each term. -

-will receive at the end of the term as traveling expenses:

Apparatus.
A well assorted apparatus has been procured, sufficiently exten-
sive to illustrate all the important principles in natural philosophy,
surveying, chemistry, and human physiology. Extraordinary
facilities for the study of natural history are afforded by the
museum of the Medical College, and the State collections, which .
are open at all hours for visitors,
Library.
Besides an abundant supply of text books upon all the branches
of the course of study, a well selected miscellaneous library has.
been procured, to which all the pupils may have access free of
. charge. In the selection of this library, particular care has heen
exercised to procure most of the recent works upon education, as
well as several valuable standard works upon the natural science,
history, mathematics, &c. The State Library is also freely acces-
sible to all. :
Terms and Vacations.
The fall term will begin on the third Monday in September, and
continue twenty weeks.
The spring term will begin the last Monday in February, and
continue twenty weeks.
Prompt Attendance.
As the school will open on Monday, it is desirable that the pupils
reach Albany on the Friday or Saturday preceding the day of _
a4 [Asseamny
opening. The faculty can then aid them in securing suitable
places for boarding.
is the examination of the pupils preparatory for classification will
commence on the first day of the term, it is exceedingly important
that all should report themselves on the first morning. Those who
arrive a day after the time, will subject not only the teachers to
much trouble, but themsélves also to the rigors of a private
examination. After the first week, no student, except for the strong-
est reasons, will be allowed to enter the school.
Price of Board.
The price of board in respectable families varies from $2.25 to
$3, exclusive of washing. Students wishing to board themselves
can procure ready furnished rooms at five shillings per week,
Many pupils, by so doing, reduce their entire expenses to less than
$2 per week. .
The ladies and gentlemen are not allowed to board in the same
families, aid gentlemen of the school are not allowed to-call upon
ladies of the school after six o’clock, P. M.. Particular care is
taken to be assured of the respectability of the families who pro-
pose to take boarders, before they are recommended to the pupils.
Experimental School.
Convenient rooms in the building are appropriated to the accom-
modation of the school. It is under the immediate supervision of
@ permanent teacher.
The object of this school-is to afford each Normal pupil an
opportunity to practice the method of instruction and discipline
inculcated at the Normal School, as well as to exhibit his “ aptness
to teach,” and to discharge the various other duties pertaining to
the teacher’s responsible office. Each member of the graduating
class is required to spend at least two weeks in this department.
Course of Study and Text Books.

It is not claimed that in order to meet the present demands of
ordinary district schools, a student must complete the entire
course of study above specified. The Normal School claims to
exert its most direct and powerful influence, by supplying a supe-
rior grade of scholarship for the higher public schools in its gra-
duates, but at the same time, to supply the wants of a lower grade
of schools, it provides an undergraduate course sufficiently mode-
rate in its requisitions.
The studies of the Junior class are designed to prepare a higher
order of teachers for the common schools generally ; those who
are looking for schools of a still better grade, have before them
the Sub-Senior course ; and for those who aim at more important
positions in the higher schools, or at principalships, the Senior
studies are believed to be none too complete or severe. To extend
or elevate the course beyond what it now is, wonld be to put its
completion beyond the time and means of most of those who now
graduate; and more, it would simply educate the few who could
complete it beyond even the reach of the higher schools, on account
of the limited demand for such teachers, and the insufficient com- ,
pensation offered them. On the other hand, to modify it so as to
make it less severe upon the pupils at any one time, would be to
disregard the fact that it is no part of the true province of the
Normal School to afford a purely academic instruction in the arts
and sciences. This is thé proper work of our many excellent high
schools and academies, and if through their means the pupil has
properly prepared himself for the Normal School course, as it
must be presumed he has, no more is required of him than he
ought to perform.

Compositions are required from each pupil once in three weeks,
commencing with the third week and ending with the eighteenth
week, thus making six compositions during the term.

Selected compositions are publicly read « every third Wednes-
day, commencing the fifth week, and ending with the twentieth,
thus making six times. At this exercise all the teachers, as well
as pupils, are expected to be present.
Field exercises, with surveying and engineering instruments,
are given to the gentlemen of the senior class, by the Professor
of Mathematics. These exercises consist of land surveying, with
trigonometrical, and other methods of areas, and heights and
distances—taking levels for railroads and canals, calculations for
. excavations and embankments, and locating and describing curves.
The object of these exercises is to make the pupils familiar with
the use of instruments, and their application to the purposes for
which they are designed.
In the afternoons of those Wednesdays which are not otherwise
occupied, lectures are given by the several teachers, to the classes,
