The whole number of pupils who have enjoyed the advantages
of the school, for a shorter or longer period, up to September,
1855, is 2,455.
Present Number of Pupils.
The 23d term (or the Ist of the 12th year of the State Normal
School) commenced on the third Monday of September last, and
the number of pupils in attendance is 240. They are divided
into four classes: Sub-juniors, Juniors, Sub-seniors and Seniors;
thus making a course of study pursued 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:

Course of Study. ee
This remains essentially the same as at the date of. the last
report. As then proposed, an effort has been made to elevate
the standard of studies required for admission, and thus prepare
the graduates for the higher demands which the advancing pro-
gress of education is constantly making upon them. ‘This effort
has been so far successful that the committee are quite confident
of the increased qualifications for the high duties of the teacher’s
profession of those who will. hereafter bent sent forth ‘into the
wide field ot educational labor.
Sex and Mode of Selection of Pupils:
The proportionate number of young men. in the schoo] has
continued to diminish since the last report. \'The causes of this,
which were then alluded to, still operate, and we cannot hope
that they will be fully counteracted until a more intimate con-
nection between this schoo] and other parts of the educational
system of the State shall be established. The mode of appoint-
No. 40.] 5
ing pupils, the only one perhaps which can under the existing
system of local superintendence be adopted, is not calculated to
awaken the deepest interest in education, or to call to the ranks
of the teacher the highest order of talent. Should the Legisla-
ture adopt the recommendations of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and provide for the appointment of county or as-
semby district superintendents, it is confidently expected that a
body of men of enlarged views and a just appreciation of the
ends and means of education will be brought into active service.
They will see the limited attainments and the low qualifications
of a large number of teachers, and in their visitations of the
schools will direct those who exhibit talénts and aptness for
the profession to the means which the State has provided with
a liberal munificence for their education. - The plan of visitation
of the higher institutions, which it is understood your body
propose among other important results, we regard as well caleu-
lated to promote harmony between those institutions and this
school; to improve the teachers’ departments which now exist
in many of them, and to make these departments valuable
nurseries to the Normal School. While their influence on the
schools about them is conceded, it must ‘be claimed of the Nor-
thal School, that its ‘course of professional training shall be
more thorough and extended, as its. object is more specific and
its means more ample. The visitors of the academies will be
brought into direct intercourse with the pupils who are prepar-
ing to become teachers, and being intimately acquainted with
the means of instruction which this school furnishes, will direct
to its halls those who will give honor to its character and ex-
tended usefulness to its instructions.
Faculty.
Several changes have occurred in the faculty since the last
report. At the close of the year ending July 11th, Miss Eliza-
beth-C. Hance, who had. been connected with the school -since
its first organization, presented her resignation. Miss Hance’s
health had. been such during the year, that her duties had been
wuch interrupted; but the committee regarded her connection
with the school so important, that they did not hesitate to per-
6 [Senate
init her labors to be‘oceasionally relieved by other members of
the faculty, who very cheerfully undertook to perform some of
her duties, and they only accepted her resignation on the con-
dition that she should resume them after a year’s absence, pro-
vided her health should be so far restored as to render it proper
for her to do so. Mr. Devolson Wood, at the same time,
resigned his position as teacher of Arithmetic and Algebra. A
short time before the opening of the present term, Mr. Sumner
C. Webb, who entered the school and. was appointed teacher at
the same time with Miss Hance, was invited to a prominent
‘situation in the Normal School of New-Jersey. While the com-
* mittee regretted to lose the valuable services of Mr. Webb, they
could not refuse the call of a sister State for aid in the organiza-
tion of an institution essential to the success of a recently
established system of public education, and especially after he
hiad so long and faithfully served his native State.
In supplying all these vacancies, the committee ‘felt. them-
selves placed under much embarrassment... They are, however,
happy to be able to say, that the interests of the school have not
suffered under the instruction of those who have been appointed
to'supply them. 'The teachers who have thus been introduced
into the school ave Mrs. Henrietta B. Hewes, a graduate of the
fifth term, and who had been uninterruptedly engaged in teach-
ing with great success almost from the day of her graduation;
Mr, Albert N.. Husted, a graduate of the twenty-first term, and
Miss Emily E.’ Rice, a graduate of the twenty-second term.
On the 28th of November last, the Professorship of Mathema-
tics became yacant by the resignation of Professor George W.
Plympton. The classes were in the middie of the term, and
provision was to be made to continue the course of instruction
then in progress.
The committee were ‘thus brought to consider, whether some
new arrangements’ could not be made, that would give to the
department greater permanency, ensure to it a system of in-
struction not depending ou a single individual, and be beyond
the routine of ordinary recitations.
No. 40.] 7
The committee have long felt that the highest grade of talent
and skill which they could command should be brought into
the faculty of the school, and they have somewhat modified the
organization of the mathematical department to ‘effect that
object. The Professor of Mathematics has heretofore been so
much occupied in his own class-room, that he has not been able
to extend his supervision to the lower classes of the school.
The modes of instruction have consequently been various, and
the system has been deficient in the unity which one controlling
mind would be able to give to it. In the expectation of accom-
plishing a result which the committee deem most desirable,
they have appointed to this professorship Charles Davies, LL.D.,
long known as a distinguished professor in the Military Academy
at West Point, who, subordinate to the Principal, will take the
entire charge of the department, mark out the system and pre-
scribe the methods of instruction, give at least eighty lectures
in each term on the principles and applications of mathematical
‘science, attend all the examinations, be present in the school at
Jeast two months in ‘each term, and receive a compensation for
the time actually employed, at the same rate as is paid to the
other professors. The committee are happy to say that Prof.
Davies is now regarded as a permanent officer of the school;
and, as such, is discharging his duties with great acceptance and
profit to the pupils.
The committee have also appointed, as Assistant Professor of
- Mathematics, Mr. Rodney G. Kimball, whose duties will be to
carry out in detail the prescribed system of mathematical in-
struction, the Professor being responsible, under the Principal,
for all that appertains to the management of the department.
They desire, in reference to this arrangement, oly to add, that
it involves no increased expense over that of a single professor.
The following isa full list of the present officers of the school:
Samuel B. Woolworth, LL.D.,
Principal and Professor of Intellectual and Moral Science.
Charlés: Davies, LL.D.,
Professor of Mathematics, 2
David H. Cochran, A.M.;
Professor of Natural Sciences.

Library and Apparatus.
Of the text book library it is scarcely necessary to speak,
farther than to say, that it embraces a full supply of the class
books used in the school, and that as these become too much_
worn to be proper for use, or superceded by improved editions,
they are laid aside, and the library from time to time replenish-
ed as the necessities of the school require. The supply of so
“large a number of pupils as are constantly in this school, with
text books, necessarily involves a very considerable expenditure.
While the committee would not, by a parsimonious frugality,
refuse to supply whatever is necessary in this department, they
are careful not to permit a Javish'expenditure.
The miscellaneous library has been increased by a few vol-
umes, for reference on the subjects taught in the school, or on
the ‘general subject of education, and by a second donation of
283 volumes .by Mr. William F. Phelps. ‘This library has been
carefully compared with the catalogue, and with the exception
of a few volumes is found in good condition.
No. 40.] 9
The chemical, philosophical and anatomical apparatus, is in
good condition, and has been in all respects carefully cared for,
by the professor to whose charge it is committed.
Experimental School.
This school continues to accomplish its purpose and to maintain
its high character. Urgent applications for the admission of
pupils are constantly made, and if our rooms were sufficiently
ample, its numbers could be more than doubled. Under the
system of gradually reducing the free seats, two years since
adopted by the committee, its one hundred pupils within a year
from this date, will annually bring into the treasury of the
school, two thousand dollars, thus ereating a revente. which
will exceed its expenditure by some six hundred dollars.
The pupils in the school at this time are,
Pay pupils..
Free pupils .
The Building. »
No changes beyond ordinary repairs, have been made in
the building, except the uniting of two small rooms into one,
the better to accommodate the classes of the experimental
school. Serious inconvience is experienced in the want of
amore perfect ventilation; but the committee have not been able
with the means at their command, to make such provision in
this respect, as would perfectly secure the object or be satisfac-
tory to them. They hope at no remote day to be prepared to
submit a plan which will fully and satisfactorily accomplish the
important object.
A statement of the receipts and expenditures from Sept. 1854,
to Sept. 1855, is appended to this report, and the vouchers for
every payment are in the hands of the committee.
It will be seen that the expenditures have exceeded the
receipts by the sum of one hundred and seventy-eight dollars
10 [Sevare
and thirty-eight cents. This has arisen from the increased ex-
pense of everything pertaining to the school. - The balance has
been carried forward to the expenses of the current year, and it
is confidently expected that the increased appropriation made
by the last Legislature will enable the committee to meet all the
necessary expenses of the year. ~
The commitiee cannot close this report, without expressing
their deep sense of the loss which education and science have
sustained in the death of their late assdciate, Dr. T. Romeyn
Beck. In all their associations with him, they have admired
the enlarged liberality of his views, the wisdom of his counsels,
the beautiful simplicity of his character and the kindness of his
heart. In common with all who knew him, they will. ever,
sacredly cherish his memory.

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, 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 follow-
ing year an additional appropriation of $10,000 was made for its
completion. A large and commodious edifice, containing a dwel-
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
removed on the Bist 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 ordinari-
ly 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 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-
32 [Senare
ber of members of the Assembly insuch county. The pupils are
appointed by the town superintendents, 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
att he close of each term is forwarded to the town superintend-
ents, 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 once admitted to the school will be entitled to its
privileges until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by
voluntary 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 town superintendents to each pupil ap-
pointed.
Ata 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.)
QuaniricaTions or 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.
Wo. 40.] 33.
For admission tothe advanced classes, in addition to those
yequired 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 puctann, that it ts 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.”
It is expected of the superintendents 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 lately issued to the
town superintendents, by the State Superintendent of Publi¢
Instruction, clearly present the qualifications which are deemed.
essential :
«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.
“In 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, unblemish-
ed 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 suecess 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.”.
[Senate, No. 40.] 3

Privitecrs or THE Pupits.
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 ot the course, they will do well to bring them, together.
with such other books for reference as they may possess. Be-
sides this, each student receives three cents a mile on the dis-
tance from his county seat to Albany, to defray travelling
expenses. 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.

Apparatus.
“A well-assorted apparatus has been procured, sufficiently
extensive to illustrate all the important principles.in Natural
Philosophy, Surveying, Chemistry and Human Physiology:
Extraordinary facilities for the study of Physiology are afforded
By the museum of the Medical College, which is open at alf
‘hours for visitors. :
i ‘Liprary.
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
aceess free of charge. In the selection of this library, particular
eare has been exercised to procure most of the recent works
upon education, as well as several valuable standard works
upon the Natural Sciences, History, Mathematics, &c. The
State Library is also freely accessible 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.
Promer Arrenpance.
As the school will open on Monday, it would ‘be for the
advantage of the pupils if they should reach Albany by the
Friday or Saturday preceding the day of opening. . The faculty
; an then aid them in securing suitable places for boarding. |
As the examination of the pupils preparatory for classifica-
tion will commence on the first day of the term, it is exeeed-
ingly important that all should report themselves on the first
morning. Those who arrive a day after the time, will subjeet
not only the teachers to much trouble, but themselves also to
fie rigors of a private examination. Afier the first week, no
student, except for the strongest reasons, will be allowed to
enter the school.

teenth, thus making six times. At this exercise all the teach-
ers, 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, caleulations
for excavations and embankments, and locating and describing
curves. The object of these exercises is to make the pupils fa-
miliar 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 other-
wise oceupied, 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. i
