The whole number of pupils who have enjoyed the advantages
of the school, for a shorter or longer period, up to September, ©
1852, is 1,800.
Present number of Pupils.
The 17th term (or the Ist of the 9th year of the State Normal
School) commenced on the third Monday of September last, and
the number of pupils in attendance is276. They are divided into
four classes : sub-juniors, juniors, sub-seniors and seniors; thus
making .a course of study purstied during two years. These
classes are again arranged in divisions to suit the convenience of
recitations. The relative standing and advancement of the pupils
will be seen from the following table:

The same course of study, omitting the higher algebra, plane.
trigonometry, surveying. and astronomy, must be pursued by fe-
males, as a condition for graduating. 3
Pupils, on being received into the school, are subjected to::.as
thorough examination, and are classified according to their present
attainments. The time required to accomplish the course, must
_ greatly.depend. upon the -industry: and talents of each individual
scholar, combined with the thoroughness of his knowledge-of. thes

elementary studies. It is extremely desirable that the pupil, om
admission, should be found prepared for one of the advanced
classes. If such could be the general result, it would render the
school more strictly professional ; and by diminishing the time
needed to complete the course, would tend materially to increase
the number of graduates.
The revision of the course of study and of the text books to be
used has been gone through with, as intimated in the last report.
Few, if any changes have been found necessary. The Executive
Comniittee have, however, expressed their decided opinion against
the substitution of Jectures in the place of text books, except in
particular designated cases. The former, if thus employed, either
promotes inattention, or if notes be required to be taken of them,
encroach improperly on the remaining time of the pupils. The.
teacher also can hardly entertain proper views of his own knowl-
edge and capacity, who seeks to make them a substitute for the
works of other and more advanced scholars in the respective de-
partments of study. Lectures should be accessaries, not princi-
pals, in the State Normal School, with the sole exception of’ those
‘on school teaching.
The Building.
The repairs spoken of in the last annual report were duly comple-
ted, and water and gas were introduced throughout the whole ex-
tent of the building. The cost of all of these amounted to about
eighteen hundred and fifty-eight dollars, and was defrayed by
means of a special appropriation of eight hundred dollars, an
the balance from the funds of the institution. Unfortunately,
early in the year 1852, the insecurity of the public room was as-
certained, and an expenditure of nearly one thousand dollars has
subsequently been incurred in repairing and strengthening the
same, and in’ rebuilding the stairs. The building is now pro-
nounced, by a competent architect, to be in a thoroughly good and
secure condition.
Indian Pupiis.
Of the eleven pupils reported to be in the school at the date of
the las report, four of the males have left, and their places were’
No. 20.] 7
filled by the appointment of two females and one male of the
Onondaga tribe, and one male of the Tuscaroras. The . whole
number then of ihe Indian pupils in attendance during the scho-
lastic year of 1851-2, was eleven—five females and six males.
They are allin the normal department. For their names, see
document A. .
Since the commencement of the present term (September 20th,
1852), the number of Indian Pupils has increased to twelve.
Sex and Geographical Distribution of Pupils.
A comparison of the number of each sex composing the school,
in different years, exhibits an increasing proportion of females.
This is undoubtedly produced by the more inviting and rapid
avenues to enterprise and wealth which opens to young men,
while it indicates that hereafter, to an increasing extent, the Dis-
trict Schools must be taught by females.
This is perhaps not to be regretted, as the proof is abundant, _
that woman, when well educated, is at least equally fitted with
man for the important and responsible duties of teacher of early
youth.
The committee are happy to state, that during the present
. term, every county in the State is represented in the Normal
School, with the following exceptions: Allegany, Broome, Clin-
ton, Hamilton, Lewis, Orleans, Queers, Richmond and Tioga, and
indeed, in several of these last, they have advices that appoint-
ments have‘been made, but no pupils haveas yet presented them-
selves. - :
The vacancies thus occurring, have been supplied by giving
a preference to all applicants not residing within the county of
Albany, or those immediately adjacent, and it is only in this last
resort that those there resident have been adinitted.
The Executive Committee have felt themselves warranted, in
spite of unforeseen expenditures, to promise for each of the terms
of the present scholastic year, the sum of one thousand dollars
respectively, to be divided among the regularly appointed pupils
only as an aid towards the payment of board.
8 { AssEmBLy.
Facunry.
At.or near the conclusion of the year ending September, 1852,
several important changes oceurred. The Principal, Dr. Perkins,
to the great regret of the Executive Committee, resigned his situa-
tion. It has been supplied by the appointment of a gentlemans
long known as a successful Instructor in Western New-York. —
The following is a full: list. of-the. present: officers of the School,
with their appointments.
. Samuel.B. Woolworth, A. M.,
Principal.
Silas.T. Bowen, A. Mz,
Teacher of Intellectual and Moral Science and Rhetoric.
Sumner C. Webb,
Teacher of Arithmetic. and Bookkeeping.
Truman H. Bowen, .
Teacher of the Science of Government, Grammar and Vocal Music.
James H. Salisbury, M. D.,
Physiology, Natural Philosophy and Chemistry.
John Felt, Jun’r.,
Teacher of: Grammar and Algebra.
Elizabeth C. Hance,
Teacher of Reading and History.
Ann Maria Ostrom,
Teacher of Drawing, History and Geography.
It may be proper to add in this place, that Mr. Silas T: Bowen;
having received an advantageous appointment in one of the prin-
cipal cities of a neighboring State, will leave the institution at the -
close of the.present term, with the. best wishes.of the committee.
This vacancy will be. taken advantage of, as.an introduction to
various. changes in the. scheme of: tuition, which are deemed ad-
visable-and more consonant, than at present, to. the. proper plan of
a State Normal School.: ‘
No. 20.] 9
Change of Vacations.
The change, introduced nearly. two years-since, continues to be
‘generally acceptable, as far as the committee can ascertain. They:
have recently agreed that the vacations at the holidays, which
have heen unprofitably extended: to a week, shall hereafter be con-
fined to.Christmas and-New-Year’s day.
Library and Apparatus. .
According to.a report from Mr. Webb, Librarian, bearing date
July 8, 1852, the miscellaneous library. remains as heretofore
reported, with an addition-of fifteen volumes and sixteen-pamph-
lets. The-total will.therefore:be-759 volumes and 127 pamphlets.
There have. been added: to the: text-book library, during the:
year, by purchase, 670 volumes, and by donation, 167 volumés.
A large portion of the volumes purchased, were text-books in
music, the private property of the teacher in that department,
and for the use of which, a small stipend was paid by the pupils.
The Executive Committee disapproved of this arrangement, and
purchased all the copies in use at alow:rate. The additions,
therefore, of text-books, with those previously reported (4,627
volumes), will increase the present number to 5,464 volumes.
The chemical-and philosophical apparatus are reported tobe
in good order, and ‘the teacher in that department is-allowed ‘to ~
procure from time to time such articles as are needed for his
experimental course.
The inventories required’ to be opened and .kept:of books and
apparatus have to a certain extent been quite satisfactory, but
they ure required to be particularly revised and rearranged under
the direction of the principal. .
Experimental School.’ ~
This school is in a very flourishing condition, under: the -care:
of its present excellent and. efficient head, Amos. M. .KrLoce,
whose,name, has not. until. now. been. mentioned, but, who should=
10 _ [Assemeny
strictly be considered as one of the Faculty of the Normal
School. During the last year a number of additional seats have
been added, and the present complement at the time of making
this report is:
Pay pupils,..
Free pupils, .
The pay pupils are admitted at $10 per term, or $20 a "year.
It is a subject of serious consideration with the committee, whe-
ther the number of free’ pupils should not be still more dimin-
ished. Certainly, with the facilities of instruction afforded by the
city of Albany, this would seem proper, and at the same time the
charge of particularly favoring the inhabitants here would be at
‘once obviated.
The course of instruction and government pursued by Mr.
Kellogg is under$tood to be eminently satisfactory, while at the
same time, ample opportunities are afforded to the pupils of the
Normal School to inform themselves in the practice of teaching.
Resignation of Dr. Perkins.
Dr. Perkins was one of the principal instructors at the opening
of the school, and on the death of Mr. Page, was appointed to
the office of Principal. He has ever proved a faithful instructor,
_assiduous in promoting the advancemént of his pupils, and care-
ful in whatever related to the well being of the Institution. The
Executive Committee bear full testimony to his private worth
and public services. :
Resignation of Gideon Hawley, LL. D.
But the committee have in a more especial manner to express
their feelings on the resignation of Dr. Hawley. The first super-
intendent of common schools in the State of.New-York—one who
watched and labored to form ‘and fashion the system which is
now one of the boasts of the commonwealth, and who,trom year .
No. 26.] WU
to year, has more and more identified himself with the progress
of education in all its departments—it was hoped that a life-long
claim might have been held on him to continue in the work.
His loss is already deeply felt in advising and originating useful
measures. The committee part with him with unaffected regret.
A statement of the receipts and expenditures of the Normal
School, from September, 1851, to September, 1852, is herewith
subjoined, and the vouchers for every payment are in the posses-
sion of the committee.
All which is respectfully submitted.

CIRCULAR.
The Normal School for 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, 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 nine-
ty-seven. The number in attendance, the second term, was about
two hundred. The average number is now about: two hundred
and thirty.
_In 1848, an act was passed by the Legislature “fur the per-
* manent 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, coutaining a dwel-
ling-house for the Principal, was accordingly erected on the
corner of Lodge and Howard streets, adjoining the State Geologi-
eal and Agricultural rooms. To this building the schoo) was re-
moved on the 31st of July, 1849. :
The object of this institution is to improve teachers of common
schools; and the course of study, and the conditions of admis-
sion, have been adopted with reference to that 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 pupilsare
appointed by the town superintendents, at’ a meeting called by
. the superintendent of the county town for that purpose. This
[ Assembly, No. 20.] 3
34 [Assemazy
meeting should be held, and the appointments made, at least two
weeks betore the commencement of each term, or as soon as in-
formation is received as to the number of vacancies. A list of
the vacancies at the close of each term will be published in cir-
eular form, and also in the principal Albany papers.
Persons failing to receive appointments from their respective
counties should, after obtaining testimonials of a good moral char-
acter, present themselves, the first day of the term, for examina-
tion by the faculty. If such examination is satisfactory, they will
receive an appointment fromthe executive committee, without
regard to the particular county, provided any vacancies exist. In
such case, the pupil will not receive mileage.
Pupils once admitted to the school will have the right to re-
main until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by volun-
tarily vacating their place, or by improper conduct.
The following is the form of certificate of appointment which
ought to be given to each pupil appointed by the town superin-
tendents : :
At a meeting of the town superintendents 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 chairman and secretary.)
Quauirications or APPLICANTS.
Females sent to this school must be at least sixteen years of
age, and males eighteen, and must be residents of this State.
The selections should be made with referénce to the moral
worth and abilities of the catididates. Decided preference ought
to be given to those who, in the judgmentof the superintendents,
give the highest promise of becoming the most efficient teachers
of common schools. — It is also desirable that those, only, should
be appointed who have already a good knowledge of the common
branches of study, and who intend to remain in the school until
they graduate. :
No. 20.] 35
Enrrance.
All the pupils, on entering the school, are required to sign the
following deelaration :
“ We, the subscribers, hereby DECLARE, that it is owr intention tg
devote ourselves to the business of teaching district schools, and that
our sole object in resorting to this Normal School is the better to pre-
pore ourselves for that important duty.”
~ As this should be signed in good faith on the part of the pupils,
they should be made acquainted with its import before they are
appointed. It is expected of the superintendents that they will
select such as will sacredly fulfil their engagements in this
particular.
Pupils, on entering the school, are subjected to a thorough
examination, and are classified according to their previous attain-
ments. The time required to accomplish the course will depend
upon the attainmentsand talents of the pupil, varying from oneto
four terms. Very few, however, need expect to, graduate .in one
term.
The following table will show the sum a student of each
county will receive at the end of the term as travelling expenses:

gether with such 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 travelling ex-
penses. .No pupil will receive mileage, unless the. appoint-
ment is obtained from the county in which said pupil resides,
such appointment being regularly made by the town super-
intendents. This money is paid at the close of each term. :

exercised: to procure most of the recent works upon education, as
well as several valuable standard works npon the Natural Sciences,
History, Mathematics, &¢. The State Library is also freely-ac-
cessible to all.

The Fall Term will begin on the third Monday im September,
and continue twenty weeks.
The Spring Term will begin the last Monday in February, and
continue twenty weeks.
Prompt Arrenpance.
As the school will open on Monday, it would be for the advan-
tage of the pupils, if they should reach Albany by the Friday or
Saturday preceeding the day of opening. The faculty can then
aid them in securing suitable places for boarding.
‘As the examination of the pupils, preparatory for classifi-
cation, will commence on the first day of the term, it is exceed-
ingly 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
rigots of a private examination. After the first week, no student,
except for the strongest reasons, will be allowed to enter the
school. E
Prict or Boarn.
The price of board, in respectable families, varies fom $1.75
to $2.50, exclusive of washing.
‘The ladies and gentlemen are not allowed to board in the same
families ; and gentlemen of the school are not allowed to call
upon ladies of the school after six o’clock, P.M. Particular care
js taken to be assured of the respectability of the families who
propose to take boarders, hefore they are recommended to the
pupils.
