REPORT.
To the State Superintendent of ‘Common Schools,
. and the Regents of the University:
The Executive Committee of the State Normal ‘School
Resrecrrutty Rerorr:
‘That the whole number of pupils in attendance during the
past year, which embraces the twenty-third and twenty-fourth -
terms, have been three hundred and forty-two: seventy-three of
these, twenty-two males and fifty-one 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 within
the limits of the State. The whole number of pupils who have
enjoyed the advantages of the school, for a longer ‘or shorter
period, to September 1856, is 2,687. All the Couiities. of the
State, with the exception of three, viz.: Allegany, Essex and
Hamilton, have been represented in the school during the past
year. Thirty-four counties were represented by the graduating
Glasses. ‘The following table presents the number of pupils and
graduates for each term fromthe commencement of the school:

. From this table, it will be seen that a large number have been
connected with the school, who have failed to finish the pre-
scribed course of study. In refere-c> to these, it seems proper,
to add, that by far the greater proportion have used the advan-
tages afforded by this institution, in the service of the State,
The demand for teachers has been such during the past year, that
quite a large number of the undergraduates at present connected.
with the school, have, with the consent of the faculty, tempo-
rarily left the institution and engaged in teaching, and although
they have not completed the entire course of study, it is confi-
dently expected that they will do much to improve the charac-
ter of the instruction commonly given in the public schools.
Present Number of Pupils.
The 25th term, or the first of the thirteenth year of the State
Normal School, commenced on the third Monday of September
jast. The number of pupils. in attendance is 256. They are
divided into four classes: Sub-Junior, Junior, Sub-Senior and
Senior—a classification extending the course of study through
two entire years. These classes are further arranged in divis-
jons for conyenienéé in recitation.. The classification of the
pupils will be seen from the following table :

Course of Study.
” The course of study remains essentially the same as at the date ;
of the last report. While no new branches have been intro-
duced, an effort has been made to raise the standard of scholar-
ship, by requiring higher attainments as conditional to admission
into the school, and’ by demanding a more complete mastery of
the branches pursued as requisite to advancement in the classes
and to graduation. In doing this, it has been found necessary to
reject quite a number of applicants for admission, on the ground
of:insufficient qualification, and to decline extending the honors
of graduation. to an unusual number of candidates, for the same
reason, The immediate effect of this course has been to increase
the number of pupils in the lower classes, rendering them dis-
proportionately large, as compared with the higher classes.
“This inconvenience will, however, correct itself within a very
short time; and the committee flatter themselves that the general
scholarship of the school is higher than at the date of any pre-
vious report. :
; Sex and Mode of Appointment.
The number of young men in-the school is larger than at the
date of the last reporf, but is still: much smaller than that of the
young ladies. The great demand for female labor in the work
of. education, and the low salaries paid in the rural districts,
afford, perhaps, a sufficient explanation of this disparity. Al- -
ready a large proportion of the publie schools of the State are
taught by female teachers, and there seems to be no reason for
expecting a change in this respect. Such are the rewards of
Jabor in all’ the departments of business, open to young men;
that a well qualified male.teacher is quite: beyond. the reach of
the great majority of rural districts throughout the State, There
6 [Assenmny:
is, however, an increasing demand for young men, of the best
qualifications, to take charge of the more important’ public
schools in our cities and villages; and it is believed’ that this
demand will be still further increased, under the supervision of
the recently appointed school ‘commissioners. The committee
are. confident, also, that under the new system of appointment,
a-larger proportion of young men, and those of a higher grade
of talent, will be secured tothe school, and that the influence
which thus stimulates the demand, will go far towards meeting it.
Faculty. ‘
The committee have to report several changes: in the faculty,
during the past year. At the.close of: the 23d term, Feb. Ist;
1856, Prof. Samuel B. Woolworth, LL. D., resigned the: princi-
palship of: the school, which-he had held:for three and one-half
years, in-order-to accept the situation of seeretary:of the Regents
of the University, in place of Dr; T.. Romeyn. Beck;. deeeased:
The-committee made choice of: Prof. David H. Cochran, A. Mi,
_who-had previously: been connected: with the school: in. the
department of Natural Scienee, as his suceessor. Prof. Cochran
entered upon the duties of ‘his new position, at the commenee;
ment of the 24th term. Temporary provision was-made for-the
instruction of the: classes in. the-department, left vacant byvhis
transfer, until April first, when the professorship was filled by
the appointment of Mr. Edward F. B. Orton, A. M. :
A change has also been made in the experimental] department.
The superintendent, Mr Amos M. Kellogg, having been invited
to take charge. of the Farnum Preparatory School, a: branch of
the State Norma] School of New Jersey, and one of the impor-
tant educational: movements now in progress in that: Staté, res
signed. The experimental school had; under his direction, been.
in the highest degree successful, and the. committee accepted his
resignation with regret. His connection with the: school, closed,
with the commencement of the twenty-fifth term, and his. place.
was immediately: filled by the appointment of Mr. William: D.
Huntley, who had, for.several years, been: engaged-in.the, publie,
schools of Buffalo. Mr. Huntley: brings, to. this important post, a,
high reputation, as.an experienced and-suecessful teacher.
No. 26.5 ; 7 —
In order to secure to thé niathematical department, the highest
grade of talent and skill, arid to give to its system of instruction,
a higher unity and completeness, the’ committee have, as was
stated in the last report, materially. modified its organization.
Previous to that time, the professor of mathematics had been
necessarily so occupied in his own class room, as to be unable to
extend his supervision to the teaching in the lower classes in the,
department. Consequently the modes of instruction had been .
various, and destitute of that. unity so’ essential to the highest
results:in a science, which, although comprehending’ a variety! of
subjects; is the same throughout, involving the:same: processesof
thought, and.resting: upon the seme intuitive and: elenientary’
principles. This defect: was: removed by the'changes’ made™ ag!
before mentioned, and the entire end fully secured, by the*ap:"
pointmentto the vacant professorship, of Charles Davies, LL.D.,
Jong known asa distinguished professor in the Military Aaae
emy at West Point, who, subordinate to the principal, now takes
the entire charge of the mathematical department, marking out
the system and superintending the instruction throughout
the entire course. ~The results of this arrangement-fally re-
alize the high expectations of the committee, and. they are:
happy to say that Prof. Davies is now regarded:as:a:permanent-
officer of the school.
The following is-a-full-list of the present officers‘of the school!

Library and Apparatus,
The text-book library contains a full supply of all the class
books used in the school. The unusual number of pupils in
the lower ‘classes, and a change in several text books used, have
involved the necessity of a larger addition to its catalogue than
usual,
The miscéllaneous library remains the same as at the date of
the last report. The apparatus belonging to the school, has been
carefully examined and found to be in good condition.
Experimental School,
This school, in which the teaching is entirely performed by-the
members of the graduating class, and which is designed to fur-
nish them the opportunity for applying under the direction of
the proper officer, the modes of instruction imparted in the Nor-
mal School, has. acquired: a high reputation as a school of ele-
mentary instruction. For the ten vacancies occurring at the
close of the term. ending July 11, 1856, over one, hundred ap-
plications were received. The committee have thought proper
to increase the fee for tuition, from twenty to twenty-five dollars
per annum, for each scholar. The pupils of this school at pres-
ent are :

Some slight changes have been made in the building. For
the better accommodation of classes-in recitation, two small

rooms have been united, and the room heretofore used as a text
book library, has been converted into a recitation room, the books
having been removed to the miscellaneous library. With this ex-
ception, no chdnges have been made in the building beyond the
usual repairs.
A statement of the receipts and expenditures from September
1855, to September, 1856, 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 Edu-
cation 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, in a 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 hundred. 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 fol-
lowing 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 to
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 eondition
of admission, the course of study adopted and the class drill
pursued are well calculated to secure this object. =
30 [Assempry *
Each county in the State is entitled to send to the schoola
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 commis-
sioners, at a meeting called by the Superintendent of Public
Tnstruction, 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
talents, and sustaining the prescribed examination, receive ap-
pointments from the executive committee, provided any vacan-
cies exist: In such case the pupil will not receive mileage.
Pupils onee admitted to. the school'will be entitled’ to its
privileges until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by
voluntary absence, by improper conductor 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 beable to analyze and parse
any ordinary prose sentence. »
Nor26.]° 7 81
For admission to.the advanced classes, in addition to those
required for entrance examination, all the studies of the preced-
ing classes must have been accomplished. The time required
to complete 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 necuann, that it is our intention to
devote ourselves tothe business of teaching the. schools of the State,
and 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
superintendents, by the State Superintendent of Public Instrue-
tion, clearly present the qualifications which. are deemed
essential :
“The town superintendents are directed to give the most
extended ‘notice in their power; of vacancies, and to interest
themselves in finding proper pupils to be-appointed. _
“Tn making the selections, those who from past successful
experience have proved their aptness to teach, or from traits of
character, clearly developed, give fair promise of future success,
should be preferred. Talents not below mediocrity, unblem-
ished morals and sound health, are regarded as indispensable. .
In your visitations of the schools, you will sometimes find teach-
ers -who only need the instruction which this schoo] 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 appointments.”
. Erie, 2.05

PRIVILEGES OF THE Pourits.
All pupils recéive 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

er with guch other books for reference as they may possess.
Besides this, each student receives three cents a mile on the dis-
tance from his county seat to Albany, to defray traveling ex-
penses. 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.

‘As the school will open on Monday, it would be for the
advantage of the pupils if they should téach Albany by the
Friday or Saturday preceding the day of opening. The faculty.
can then aid them in securing suitable places for boarding.
As 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 themselves-also to the rigors of. a: private
examination. After the first week, no student,. except for the
strongest reasons, will be allowed to enter the school.

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,
on such subjects as are peculiarly appropriate to their duties in
the school, and to those of the profession for which they are
’ preparing.
