> Ht will be seen that, as. -in the three years following the: eqn

mencement of the war of the -rebellign, the number:of male pupils .

in the school has been comparatively small. The recent closé-of
the struggle, however, and ‘the return of those who so bravely

sustained thé cause. of the Union, bids-fair soon.to remove ‘this dis-

parity. Already, young men who.have proved their devotion to -

-their country -are seeking admission to the school. And-we may

reasonably expect that during ‘the oonaing year ‘this subg will.

be inereased, »

The limited number of male teachers has led tothe employment
of a larger number of females than formerly in the higher depart-
ments of teaching, and the committee are gratified ‘to, say, with:

marked snceess; and-it-can hardly. be doubted: that this change is ~

bringihg its-special benefit to the younger pupils under . their
charge.”
- ‘When it is found that females are called to such positions ana
adequately compensated, no. doubt large numbers will qualify

themselves for the work. ‘Such a change will opena nobler Saree,

of independénce for woman.

‘The forty-third term (the first of the twenty-second year of the

school) commenced on the third Monday 9 of September last, and

the number of pupils in attendance is 227. _They are divided into. ©’ -

four classes, sub-juniors, juniors, stib- seniors _and seniors; makin,
a course of study extending through two years, ''These, several
Glasses are subdivided to suit the convenience of recitations.

Notwithstanding the heavy: draft upon. 0 our undergraduates: for
the supply-of the winter schools, it is. gratifying to.state that ‘the

number now in attendance ranges ‘higher than it has done at the: ‘

same season for sonie years past. x
We are pleased to notice the increased attention which ‘the

" school-commissioners.of the: several districts have. given during the

n

8 : : [AsseMBLy

past year to the appointment of pupils to the school. And.the
committee“urge upon: them the importance-of thorough examina-

tions inthe selection of candidates for future vacancies, as one “of

the: best nieans' by ’ which they can subserve, the interests of: educa-
tion. S

The demands upon the institution for the higher class of teachers
is constantly greater than it can supply. ‘Tke compensation, how-

ever, offered. by ‘many applicants, is in¢dequate to the services °

required. “We would urge upon, those requiring such teachers the
necessity of offering a proper remuneration for their sérvices. ~
Good female teachers now command salaries such as were form-

; erly paid to. males. . No competent teacher: can‘ be expected to

accept a position, the: compensation of which is léss-than he ‘can

~ command in other sioploymatits of ein fesponsibittty and labor,

Faculty:

At the close of the forty-second term, Prof. Williams D, Huntley
tendered his resignation as superintendent of the experimental

school, a position which he ‘had honorably: filled for ine previous

nine years.
In September following, John H.’ French; LL. D,, Aupetinionds

ent of the-city schools of Syractse, received from the committee: ”

the appointment of professor of theory and practice in teaching and

superintendent of ‘the experimental and primary schdols. “Dr. *

French brings to the duties: of his office a reputation for ability and
experience in his profession which warrant’ us in anticipating the
best results from his appointment. :

*. a consequence of the increased number of pupils in the exper.
mental department, andthe want of a better supervision over the |
‘pupil- teachers from the ‘Normal department, it. was apparent that”
an assistant was needed. Miss Sylvia J, Eastman, for some years,

: principal of the Townsend school i in Syracuse, was called to this
position, ‘The committee have thus far had every, reason to

CIRCULAR. eS
. The Normal School of the State of New York was established
by an act of the Legislature, - in 1844} “for the instructiot and

practice of Teachers of Common Schools inthe Science of Education *

and the art of Peaching.” It was’ first established fot 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: s‘Phe, num-
ber ‘in attendance: the second term was about: two hundred. ‘ The
average numiber is now about two hundred and fifty. ee

Tn 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 dwell
ing house for the Principal, was accordingly érected on the corner
of. Lodge and Howard streets, adjoining the State Geological and
Agricultural rooms. To this building the school was onions? 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 pro-
fessional scholarship and practical. skill, to those. ordinarily fur-
nished by institutions not having this end specifically in view; and
" it is confidently believed from expertence, that the: conditions 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 anum-
“ber of pupils (either male or female) equal to twice the number of

members of the Assembly in such county. .The pupils are ap-

pointed by the Assembly district school commissioners, at a meet-
ing called by the. Superintendent of Public Instruction, on the first

“Mondays of February and September i in each year. A list of the

svacancies at the close of each term is forwarded to the commis:
sioners.

‘Persons’ failing to: receive appointments in their respective ee

exist. In such case, the pupil will not receive tmaileago.

Pupils otice admitted to the school will be entitled to its privé

tary absence, by improper conduct, or by failing to exhibit evi-
dence of scholarship and fair promise of success 'as teachers.

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, suet sustain a

avestern continent, intellectual arithmetic (equal to ‘one-half of the

much of the English grammar as to be able to analyze and paree
any ordinary prose sentence.

- For.adimission to the advanced lasses 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-- <2
plete thé 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 eae to sign the _
following declaration:

We, the subscribers, hereby DECLARE, thdt i is our éntention to.
devote ourselves to the business of teaching the schools. of the State,

and. that our sole object. in. resorting to this Normal School 4: is the

better to prepare ourselves for this important duty.

Itis 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 puiport before. they
are appointed.

oe : o Sg9 PE i : [Asser

The following extracts from a circular issued to the school com: ‘
missioners, by -the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, .

clearly: present the qualifications which are deemed. essential:

“The school commissioners’ are directed to give the most ex- |

tended notice in their’ power of vacanciés, and to interest them-
selves in finding proper pupils to’ be appointed.

“Tn-making ‘the selections; those who from past successful expe: |

rience have proved their aptness to teach, or from traits of char-
acter, 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 visita-’:

»tions of. the schools, you will sometimes find ‘teachers who only
need the instruction which this school ‘is designed to give, to in-
sure their highest success and usefulness; or pupils who have given

proof of good scholarship, which, hy being properly directed, may —

be made ‘of great: yalue in the cause of education. Such teachers
. and scholars you will encourage to seek these appointments.”

Privileges of the Pupils,

“All apie receive theit tuition free. They ate also furnished.
with the use of text-books without charge. They are, however,
held responsible for their loss or injury. Tf 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 the amount designated in the following - oS

table, to defray traveling’ expenses from his county seat to Albany.
No pupil will receive mileage, unless the appointment is obtained
from‘the county in which said pupil’ resides, such appointment.

© The Spring Term will begin on the last Monday i in February,
atid continue twenty. ‘weeks.

> Proinpt ‘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

pla@p 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 their checks until after they have
secured their boarding places, when their ‘baggage will be. dele,
ered free of charge.
As the examination of the pupils preparatory to ‘taassitdion will.
commence on the first day of the term, it ts 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 ofa private ex- ©

amination. After the first week, no student, except for the strongest
reasons, will be allowed to enter the school.

3 Price of Board:

The price of board in respectable families varies from $4,00 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 $3 per week.
~ Pupils of different sexes are not.allowed to board in the same
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.’

“ It is not claimed that inorder 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 superigr

grade of scholarship for the higher public schools in its graduates,.

"put at the same time to supply the wants of a lower grade of

schools, it provides an ‘undergraduate course sufficiently moderate
in its requisitions. °

“The studies of the Junior class are designed to prepare a higher
order of teachers for.the common school generally ; ; those who are
looking for.schools of a still better grade, have hefore 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, would be to put its
completion beyond the time and thedns of most of those who now
graduate ; and more, it would simply. educate the few who could
complete it beyond. even *he reach of the higher schools, on
aécount of.the limited demand’ for such teachers, and the insuffi: ©
eient compensation offered them.” On the other hand; ‘to modify~
it so,as. to make it, less severe upon t the pupils at-any one time,
would be to disregard the fact that it is no ea a the trué pro-
vince of the Normal School to afford a purely.ac lemic-instruction
in the arts’ and sciences. ‘This is the 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 presunied he. has, no. more is reciind of him
than he ought to perform. :

Departments. of Practice. :
The object:of. these departments i is to give to the pupils of the “

. Senior and Sub‘senior classes an’ opportunity to apply in practice, a

under the direction of experienced teachers, the, methods of in-
struction and discipline ‘ineuleated. in the Normal School, and of*
learning by observation and practice the. most approved methods -
of. instruction, Classification. and discipline adapted, to ‘publig
schools.

The Departments of Practice are iyo, denomifiated Primary De-
partment and Experimental, Department, They are under: the
supervision ‘ofthe Professor of “The Theory and. Practice-of ”
Teaching,” each department being under the immediate charge of

a model teacher.
H

Experimental Department

In this depattment are one hugdred and -twenty-two pupils,
whose ages range from nine to eighteen years. These puipils are-
divided, according to their acqitirements, into five classes, and’the
course of study for each class is designed to occupy one year in its
completion. To give opportunity for alternate study and recita-
tion, each class is “subdivided into tivo divisions, tiaking in all ten

“classes, the work of each occupying one term. The pupils of the ,

lowest grade in the department, having learned something of
reading and spelling before entering the school, commence the
studies of mental arithmetic and geography. The course of’ study
embraces the subjects taught in the public schools of the State.
This department is taught mainly by the members of the Senior,
class, under the supervision of the Professor of “Theory and Prac-

tice,” and the permanent assistant teacher. In order to give each”
member suitable opportunity to learnthe mostapproved methods of,

illustrating the subjects here taught, and to give all some practice in

school management, each one is in turn required to take. charge of,

the study room for a few days, and afterwards to instruct one class
for at least two. weeks; and each teacher is expected to exercise

all-his tact, energy and skill to: advance the class placed nies his.

I ask no cottage in the vale,
Nor cn the mountain rock ;
‘No home protected from the gale,
Or fromi the tempest's ehock j
But ask that, far from weary shore,
My tameless path may be;

Of the wild rolling sea.

‘Thou art the world for me;
Aud I would my home might ever be
‘Upon the rolling sea.

Fling forth the snowy sail,

And fir o'er wave arid Dillow dark,

And still my path shel! be,

As o'er the wide, wide world, I roam,
Upon the folting’sea,

‘With our ears flied forever by the rushing and the chime,
By the echoes of life's busy song ;
But the flatis to-day,
We mist sever on oar way
‘To meet as we have met, never more,
And we gather ere we part,
Slow of step, and sad at heart,
For the happy days forever, ever o'er.

‘With eager hands we've gathered gems of knowledge, side by side,
‘Toil-worn oft with the weary essay';
“While the struggle for this prize was our glory and our pride,
‘We've watched thto’ the matin twilight grey;
Buta coronal to-day:
Growns it last each well-spent way,
‘Our meed for the toils that are o'er,
* Aud we gathet ete we part,
‘Free of step and proud at heart
Of the weleome that awaits us on the shore.

‘There the battle routes of life, filled with clamor and with strife,
‘From the port where we pause spread away;
‘We must gragp out chosen brands, and with weapons in our hands
‘Bear tis forth in the Wat as we may.
‘We shall claim our meed to-day,
But we sever on our way,
From leaders who will guide us no more,
And we gather ore we part
Slow of step and sad-at heart,
For the happy days forever — ever o'er.
