“From this table it will be seen that a large umber have been
connected with the school who have not completed the prescribed
course: of study. Each year an average of ‘one hundred and
~ twonty under-graduates leave the institution to engage in the
work of teaching, and although they are not deemed to be thor-
oughly fitted for their work, it is believed they are doing much
to improye the character of the instruction commonly given in
our public schools.
Present Number and Classification of Pupils.
The 31st term, or.the first of the sixteenth year of the State
Normal School, commenced on the third Monday in September
last. ‘The number of pupils in attendance is 253. The students
aie arranged in four classes: Sub Juiior, Junior, Sub-Senior and
Senior,—a classification extending the course of study through
:two entire years. These classes are also subdivided for conveni-
ence in recitations. ‘The classification of the pupils will be seen
from the following table:

Allusion was made in a preceding report to the difficulty expe-
rienced in classifying the new appointees, owing to their general
and deplorable deficiency in the most elementary branches. That
difficulty not only continues, but gives as yet no promise of
decrease. Until a thorough proficiency in penmanship ortho-
graphy, reading and grammatical construction is made in our
schools an absolute prerequisite to the study of the higher branches,
it may be considered as comparatively remediless. The same
thing is true in regard to the deficiency itself. Excellence in
those branches is the product of early attention, careful ‘study,
and fixed habit alone. When; therefore, the pupil is permitted,
or encouraged, as is done in too many of our higher schools, to
neglect these branches until he reaches his maturer years.and the
later stages of his educational course, ihe utmost that can be
hoped from the most unremitting care and the severest drill in
any school is, that he may be made aware of his deficiency and
be put upon the track of its ultimate correction.
Course of Study. P
The coursé of study remains the same as at. the date of last
report. he course.of gymnastic exercises then adopted, has
been thoroughly and judiciously: prosecuted during the entire
year, under the direction of competent teachers, to the marked
benefit of the pupils, Great inconvenience, however, is expe-
rienced ‘from want of proper ‘room and apparatus. It is to be
regretted that the Normal school does not furnish greater facilities
for carrying into practice a complete system of instruction in thie
department-of Education. _ :
Sex of Pupils.
From the document accompanying this report, it will be seen
that the disproportion existing between the sexes, as to their
numerical representation in the school, is not so great as it has
been hitherto. And not only is the number of young men in
attendance on the increase, but it is as gratifying to observe a
corresponding advance in their grade of ability and attainments.
This result is doubtless owing to the fidelity and zeal of the
school commissioners, many of whom have ‘spared no pains if
endeavoring to secure for their respective districts, not only the.
fullest, but the ablest representation, in the school.
\ Faculty, , i
Several changes have occurted’in_the faculty of the school -
since the last report. At the close of the 30th term the resigna-
6 [Assemany
tion of Prof, George W. Plympton made vacant the professorship
of Mathematics. This vacancy was filled by the appointment of
duey G, Kimball, A. M., who had previously discharged: the
“Guties of assistant professor in this department,
At the close of the same term the professorship of Natural
Science was vacated by the resignation of Prof. Edward FP, B:
Qrton, and Ambrose P. Kelsey, A. M., Principal of Cincinnatus
Academy was appointed to take charge of the classes in, this
department. At the same time Mr. Isaac W. Lake, a graduate of
“the school, was appointed teacher in Arithmetic and such other
“subjects as the condition of the school might require.
The following. is a full list of the present officers of the school: =
DAVID H. COCHRAN, A. M.,
“Principal, and Professor of Moral and Tntellectual Philosophy. .
RODNEY G. KIMBALL, A. M.,
Professor of Mathematics.

Library and Apparatus.
Since.the last report, 576 volumes:have been added to the text
‘book library. The most of these were to supply the place : of
4hose too: much worn to be longer used.
With the exception of a few volumes added for reference, the
miscellaneous library remains as at the date of last report. Al!
the apparatus has been compared.with inventories, 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
nisli them the opportunity forapplying, under the direction of an
experienced teacher, the: modes’ of instruction imparted in the. r
Normal. School, fully accomplishes the object for which it was
established. There still continues to be a greater number of
applicants than can be accommodated. A tuition fee of $12.50
per term, for each pupil, not only renders the school self-sustain-
ing, but causes it to contribute to the support of the Normal
School, The number of pupils in this school, is 105, A full
account of its organization is contained in the document accom-
panying this report.
A statement of all receipts and expenditures, from September,
1858, to September, 1859, is appended to this report, and the
vouchers for every payment are in the hands of the committee.
All which is respectfully submitted,

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 Sciencé 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 & 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 in
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 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-
ber of members of the Assembly in such county, The pupils are
appointed by the Assembly district school commissioners, at a
meeting called by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, on
No. 19] at
“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 vacancies
exist. In such case tho pupil will not receive mileage.
Pupils once admitted to the school will be entitled 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-
dences of scholarship aud 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
re , held at on the day of
for the purpose of filling vacancies in the State Normal School,
i 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 éxamination 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.
For admission to the advanced classes, in addition to those
required for entrance examination, all the studies of the preceding
élasses 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 pecuarg, 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.”
"22 [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 import before they
are appointed.
The following extracts from a circular issued to the town super-
intendents, by the State Superintendent of Public 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 suecessful
experience have proved their aptnéss to teach, or from traits of
character, clearly developed, give fair promise of futuré success,
should be preferred. Talents not below mediocrity, unblemished
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 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 appoint-
ments.”
Privileges of the Pupils.
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 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 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
being regularly made by the commissioners. This money is: paid-
at the close of each term.

A well assorted apparatus has been procured, sufficiently exten-
sive to illustrate all the important, principles in natural philosophy,
surveying, chemistry and human physiology. Extraordinary
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 bdoks 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
24 [Assemeny
charge. In the selection of this library, particular care has been
exercised to procure most. of the recent works upon education,
as well as several valuable standard works upon the natural sci-
ences, 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.
- 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. :
Jas the examination of the pupils preparatory to classification will
commence on the first day of the term, if 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 ex-
amination. After the first week, no student, except for the strongest
reasons, will be aliowed to enter the school.
Price of Board.
The price of board in respectable families varies from $2.25 to
$3, exclusive of washing. Students wishing to board-themselves
can procure ready furnished rooms at five shillings per week,
Many pupils, by so doing, reduce their entire expenees to less
than $2 per week.
Tho 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 is
taken to be assured of the respectability of the families who pro-
‘pose to také boarders, before they are recommended to the pupils.
Course of Study and Text books.”
The following is the course of study prescribed for the school,
and a thorough acquaintance with the whole of it on the part of
the male pupils, is made a condition of graduation.

perimental School.
It is not claimed that in order 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 supe-
rior grade of scholarship for the higher public schools in its gra-
duates, but at the same time to supply the wants of a lower grade
of schools, it provides an undergraduate course sufficiently mode-
rate in its requisitions.
The studies of the Junior class aré designed to prepare a higher
order of teachers for the common schools generally; those. who
are looking for schools of a still better grade, have before them
the sub-senior course; and for those who aim at more important
positions in the higher schools, or at principalsbips, 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 means of most of those who how
graduate; and more, it would simply edueate the few who could
complete it beyond even the reach of the higher schools, on account
of the limited demand for such teachers, and the insufficient com-
pensation offered them. On the other hand, to-modify it. so as.to
make it less severe upon the pupils at any one time, would be to
disregard the fact that it is no part of the true province.of the
Normal School to afford a purely academic 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 presumed he has, no more is required of him than he
ought to perform.
Experimental School.
The object of this department is to give the Normal pupils: of 4
the Senior class an opportunity to apply in practice, under the
direction of an experienced teacher, the methods of instruction
and discipline inculcated in the Normal School. It has one per-
manent teacher, denominated the Superintendent of the Experi-
mental School, whose labors are devoted. to its management.
No: 19.] 27
There are one hundred and five pupils in this department,
whosé ages range from eight to sixteen years. These pupils are
divided, according to their acquirements, into five classes, and to !
give opportunity for alternate study and recitation, and a more _ H
complete classification, each class is further divided into two divi-
sions, making in all ten distinct grades or classes. The pupils of i
the lowest class, having learned a little of reading and spelling i
before entering the school, commence mental arithmetic and geo-
graphy. The course of study embraces the subjects usually
taught in our. public schools.
The teaching is performed by the members of the senior class.
To give all a suitable opportunity to fix permanently in the mind i
the most approved methods of illustrating the subjects here
taught, and to afford an opportunity for practice in school man-
agement, the Senior class is divided: into sections of five in num-
ber, corresponding to the 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 department and having his class assigned to him, the
teacher remains as ‘‘ observer” two or three- days before the class |
is fully committed to his charge. During this time he is to learn 4
the condition of his class and his duty,“and prepare himself as i
well as he is able to discharge that daty. He is furnished with
written instructions, embodying, as far as possible, general princi-
ples in teaching applied to his specific. duties, which instructions
he is to, study carefully and apply in practice. The Superintend-
ent meets these teachers every morning one half hour before
school, to remove any difficulties they may have found in the dis- i
charge of their duties, and to fully and freely criticise their bear-
ing as teachers, their manner of teaching, and the matter taught,
Each teacher, upon leaving this department, makes a report of the
condition of his class, and a concise statement of the methods he
would employ in teaching the various subjects,, These reports
are preserved and bound for future reference as- to the success of
the teachers respectively in this school. The length of time each
section is employed in the Experimental Department is from two
to three weeks, depending upon the number of the Senior class.

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 dis-
tances—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 afternoon 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 those of the profession for which they are pre-
paring.
