Present Number and Classification of Pupils.
The. forty-first term (the first of the twenty-first year of the
State Normal School,) commenced on the third Monday of Sep-
tember last, and the number of pupils in attendance is 175.
They are divided into. four classes, Sub-Juniors, Juniors, Sub-
Seniors and Seniors, making.a course of study extending through
two years.
These classes are again arranged in divisions to suit the con-
venience of recitations. The sex and classification will be seen
from the following table: : “

Pressing demands are made on'the under graduates to teach
in the winter schools, thus making’ an unusual reduction in the
number of pupils during the present term.
We have had occasion in former reports to notice the decreas-
ing number of male pupils. The continued demand for young
men in the national service, and the heavy drafts thus made on
the labor and business of thé country, have withdrawn large
numbers from the work of teaching. The demands for first class
teachers and especially for the, graduates of the school, are con-
stant and pressing, but the committee regret to be obliged to say
that the increased wages offered for the servités of such teachers
are not proportioned to the increased expenses of living or to the
advance of other departments of labor, ‘Under such a condition
of things, young men of talents and energy cannot be expected
* to remain.in this comparatively unremunerated employment.
Women must become the teachers of our public schools, and
when justice is done, by paying them equal wages for equal labor
with men, the services of those who possess the highest talents
and scholarship will be secured, and it may confidently be ex-
pected that the cause of education will not suffer,
‘ Faculty.
The following changes have occurred in the Faculty:
On the 19th of September last, the Principal, Prof. D.H: Cochran
resigned his position to accept the Presidency of the Brooklyn
Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute. He continued in charge of
the school: until December 8th, when he was succeeded by Mr.
Oliver Arey, who was unanimously elected Principal on the 24
of December. Mr. Arey had been many years Principal of the
Buffalo Central School, and brings to,the duties of his new posi-
tion ripe scholarship, large experience, and entire devotion to his
profession. 2
Mr. Marean, tutor in Algebra and Penmanship, resigned on the
4th of November last, and was succeeded by Capt: Albert N.
Husted, who having honorably completed his two years term of
service in the army, returned.to his former position’in the school.
James E. Perring, teacher of Vocal Music, was on the 4th of
February succeeded by T. Spencer Lloyd, and Miss Lydia K.
Keyes, superintendent of the Primary Departmerit was on the
11th of April succeeded by. Miss Amanda P. Funnelle.
The following is a full list of the present officers of the school :

Experimental and Primary Schools.
The schools of practice connected .with the institution and
denominated the Experimental and Primary Departments, furnish
ample opportunities for illustrating methods of instruction, and,
testing the ability of pupils to instruct and manage’ schools.
All pupils of the Normal School are required to teach at least
one month under constant aud watchful supervision, in these de-
partments, previous to their graduation. During this time, they
are made responsible, as’ far as practicable, for the advancement
of. their pupils and the good order of the schools. The Superin-
tendents are also required to criticise their work, correct what-
ever is inconsistent with the instructions given in the Normal
School, and to report the results to the Principal. These re-
ports, in connection with scholarship, determine the fitness of
candidates for graduation.
The Experimental Department numbers one hundred and five
pupils, between the ages of eight and sixteen. In the lowest
class, the pupils pay a tuition fee of $10-per term. In the higher
classes, a tuition fee of $12.50 is charged. The income of this
school for the past year has been $2,493.
The Primary Department numbers forty pupils between the
ages of five and riine years. “Each pupil pays a tuition fee of
$10 per term. -The amount received for tuition in this ‘depart:
ment during the past year is $774.21.
The applications for admission far exceed the dpaciti of these
departments. They are not only self-sustaining, but contribute
somewhat to the support of the Normal School; and experience
proves them to be indispensible means in the training of teachers.
Libraries and Apparatus.
During the past year two hundred and sixty-seven volumes
have been added to the text book library to replace books too
much worn for Jonger service. The miscellaneous library remains .
as at the date of last report. All the apparatus belonging to the
school has been examined ‘and found to be in good condition.
A statement of all receipts and expenditures for the year end-
ing September 30, 1864, is appended to this report, and the
vouchers for every payment are in the hands of the committee.
The committee are constrained to call the attention of the Super-
intendent and Regents, and through them the Legislature, to
the present inadequate appropriation for the support’ of the
~ 10 3 ; " [Assempry.
school.. Twelve thousand dollars has been annually appropriated
since 1855, and the fixed salaries of the teachers have continued
unchanged since that time. For the last two years a small addi-
tion has been made to some of the salaries from the unexpended’
balance at the close of those years. ‘At the close of the present
year, all the means at the disposal of the committee will be
exhausted in current expenses. It is scarcely necessary to allude
to the greatly increased cost of all the necessary expenditures,
such as for fuel, repairs, stationery, books, &.
It would be manifestly unjust to the teachers to’ask them'to
perform their duties for thé salaries which they received” ten
years since. It would subject them to an absolute contribution
to the public service which they are unable to make.
The ordinary repairs of the school building have usnally been
made from the annual appropriations for thé support of the school.’
Some extraordinary repairs will be required during the present
year. From all these considerations the committee are of opinion
- that an extra appropriation will be required to meet the expenses
of the present. year, and that the regular appropriation for the
support of the school should be increased to sixteen thousand
dollars. :

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 fivé
years, as an experiment, and went into operation on the {sth 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 assed by the Legislature ae fix 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“dwell- °
ing house for the Principal, was accordingly erected on the cor-
ner of Lodge and Howard streets, adjoining the State Geological
and Agricultural rooms. To this building, the school was re-
moved on the 3ist.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 erid specifically in view, ~
and it is. confidently believed from experience, that the conditions -
of admission, the course of study adopted; and the ‘class drill
pursued, 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 num- |
ber of members of the assembly in such county. The pupils are
appointed by the assembly district school commissioners, at a
No. 52.] 29
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.
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 vacancies
exist. In such-case, the pupil will not receive mileage.
Pupils once admitted to thé school will be éntitled to its privi-
leges until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by volun-
tary absence, ‘by improper conduct, or by failing to exhibit evi-
dence 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 commissionets to each pupil appointed :
At a meeting of the school commissioners of the county of
, held at on the ‘day of
for tho. purpose of filling vacancies inthe State Normal School,
was 8 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 sentehce. :
For admission to the advanced classes, in addition. to those
required 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 pecuarn, that it is our intention to.
devote ourselves to the 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.
30 [Assemary
It is expected of the commissioners that they will select such
pupils as will sacredly fulfill their engagements in this particular,
and they should be made acquainted with its maiport ‘before they
are appointed.
The following extracts from a circular issued to the school
commissioners, by the State Superintendent of Public Tnstruc-
tion; clearly present the qualifications which aré deemed essential:
“The school commissioners 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.
“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, unblemished
morals and sound health, are regarded as indispensable. Tn your
visitations of the schools, you will sometimes find-teachers who
only need the instruction which this school is designed to give,
to insure ‘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.”
Privileges of the Pupils. a
~ All-pupils receive their tnition 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, cach student receives the amount designated in the follow-
ing table, to defray traveling expenses from his county seat to
Albany. No pupil will receive mileage, unless ‘the appointment
is obtained from the connty in which said pupil resides, such
appointment being regularly made by the commissioners. This
money is paid at the close of each term. ‘i

Apparatus,
The apparatus of the school.is well ssaotia; and enffciently
extensive.to illustrate all the important: principles in ‘natural
philosophy, surveying, chemistry and human physiology. Extra:
ordinary 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
32° [Assemety
charge. In the selection of this library, particular care has been
exercised to procure most of the recent works upon education, as
well as valuable standard works upon the natural sciences, his-
tery, mathematics, &c. The State Library is also freely acces-
sible to all.
Terms and Vacations.
The Full Term will begin on the third Monday in ‘Septeinber,
and continue twenty weeks.
The Spring Term will begin on the: last Monday i in February,
and continue twenty weeks.
Prompt Attendance.
As the school will open on Monday, it is desirable that pupils
reach Albany on the Friday or Saturday preceding the day of
opening. The faculty can then,aid them in securing suitable
places for boarding.
Students arriving on those days will find it to their advantage
to. proceed directly to the school building, situated on Lodge
street, near State, retaining thoir-checks until after they have
_ secured their boarding places, when their baggage will be deliy-
ered free. of charge.
“As the.ecamination of the pupils preparatory to classification will
commence on the first day of the term, it 7s 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 ex-
amination. After the first week, no student, except for the strongest
reasons, will be allowed to enter the school.
Price of Bodrd.
The price of board in respectable families varies froth $3.50 to
$5, exclusive of washing. Students wishing to board themselves
can procure ready furnished rooms at $1 per week. Many pupils,
by so doing, reduce their entire expenses to about #2 50 er
week,
Pupils of different sexes are not allowed to board: i in the sate
families. . Particular care is taken to be assured of the respecta-
bility of the:families who propose to take boarders, before: they
are recommended to the pupils.
Course of Study and Text Books.
The following is the course of study preseribed for the school,

tion of an experienced téache?, the methods of instruction and
discipline inculcated in the Normal: School. «It has oné. pertha-
nent teacher, denominated the Superintendent of: thé Experimen:
tal School, whose labors are devoted to its management.
There are one hundred and five pupils in this department, .
whose ages range from eight.to sixteen years.'This school-is
divided, according to the acquireménts ‘of the pupils, into ‘five
classes; and to give opportunity for alternate study and. recita-
tion, anda more complete classification, each class. is further
divided into two divisions, making in all ten distinct grades.
The pupils of the lowest.class, having learned a little of reading
and spelling before entering thé school, commence mental arith-
metic and geography. The course. of study i in this department.
embraces the subjects usually taught in our public schools. .
To give each member of the Senior class a suitable” oppor
nity to fix permanently in the mind the most ‘approved methods
of illustrating the subjects here taught, and to afford an opportu-
nity for practice in school management, the,Senior. class i is divided,
into sections of five pupils each, corresponding to the ‘number of
classes of the Experimental School. Hach section is exercised
in this school during at least two weeks; and each teacher is
expected ‘to exert all his tact, energy and skill, to advance the
pupils of the class placed in his charge. On entering the depart-
ment and having his class assigned to him, the teacher remains
as “observer” two or three days before the class is fully com-
mitted to his charge. During. this time he is to learn the condi-
tion of his class and his duty, and prepare himself as well as he
~ is able to discharge'that duty. “Hé is furtiished with written in-_
‘structions, embodying as far as possible, general prin
teaching applied to his specific duties, which institctious ‘he is

hieets these teachers every morsing (Half an hour before school;
- to temove any difficulties: they nay have foiltid in’ the ‘dischargé

teacher, upon leaving this department, makes & réport of the ‘con-

the teachers respectively in this school. The length of.time each.
teacher is employed in, the Experimental Department is fromtiver
to three weeks, depending upon the number of the Senior class,
36 F [Assemsry.
Primary School.
The object of this school is to illustrate the organization, man-
agement aud instruction of primary schools. It is composed of
pupils between the ages of five and seven, years, who are taught
for the most part, orally by means of sensible objects, in accord-
ance.with Pestalozzian principles. The female pupils. spend at
least.one week-of the Sub-Senior term in this department, and
they are engaged for six weeks of the Senior term, one-hour each
day in the discussion and practice of methods of primary teaching.
Examinations.
The examinations at the close of each term are, in part, writ-
ten, and in part oral. The questions. for the written examina-
tions are prepared under the direction of the executive committee,
and first presented to the teachers as well as pupils at the time of
their examinations. The answers to the questions of each paper
are written out at one sitting, the pupil having no opportunity
to obtain assistance from text books or fellow pupils. The oral
examinations occupy the last three days preceding the closing
exercises of each term.

Words by Prof. F.
Like the peal of mighty thunders,
Con:es the call of Liberty 5
Ronee Fe, from your peaceful siusbers,
Rouso ye millions of the free!
Sleep no longer, idly dreaming,
‘Phat your patriot work is done;
Tis the dawn of battle beaming,
‘And the strifeis but begun.
Cnonvs.
Like the peal of mighty thunders,
Comes the call of Liberty
Rouse ye, from your peaceful slumbers,
Rouse! ye millions of the free!
Rouse! to deeds of deatuless glory 5
Win tho pytriot hero's crowa,
And your fame in song and story,
Shall, to endless years, go down.
Gather from the mountain vatiey,
‘From the sweeping prairie’s breast ;
From the sea-girt islands rally,
‘From the rivers of the West ;
Stripling young, and grandsire hoary,
In one high heroie tide,
Round the old flag’s starry glory,
‘Sweep in patriot pomp and pride.

Like a ronsed and angry opean,
Beating on the wasted shore,
With a tireless might aud motion,
On the recreant legions pours
*Midst the confliel’s roar and rattle,
Place in God, your hope and tru:
And: with sturdy blows of battle,
Beat down treason to the dust.
On {ill every arm is broken,
Lifted ’gaiust our nation’s pride,
On till yonder radiant token,
Floats triamphant, far and wiles
Meaven will crown your high endeavor,
‘To restore your country’s fame;
One again, her stars forever,
‘Shall with cloudless splendor flame!
For our cause shall be victorions-;
‘We can see the rosy light,
Of the dawn of triumph glorious,
Beaming o'er the clouds of night ;
And amidst the blendings tender,
Of the purple and the gold,
‘We ean catch the noontide splendor,
O'er our land, in glory rolled.
from “Faust.” - Gounod.
