REPORT.
Go the State Superintendent of Common Schools, and Regents of the
University of New-York:
The Executive Committee of the State Normal School
Resrrerrutiy Report
The last report which was presented to your honorable body, bears
date December 13, 1847. Shortly after the school experienced a se~
vere loss in the death of its principal, David Perkins Page, Esquire.
‘The committee need not say much in regard to the laborious and suc-
cessful services of this gentleman ; for, it is believed that ‘those ser-
vices are duly appreciated by you. It may be well, however, to
make mention of them, for thus the late principal of the school may
serve as an example to the teachers of the State. One of the promi-
nent excellencies of Mr. Page was his remarkable self-possession.
While he was quick in noticing an intentional insult, still no one could
under any circumstances, move him to display the least ebullition of
anger. Thus he was prepared to govern others ; for no one can go-
vern a school who cannot govern himself. Mr. Page never called
his.students dolts, or blockheads, or fools ; and none of the pupils of
the Normal School had reason to complain of him, as manifesting im-
patience on account of their slowness or inaptitude to learn. Sloth
he would reprove ; but the youth of small capacity was regarded as
deserving commiseration, and he always received a larger share of at-
tention.
Mr. Page was not a mere theorist in regard to education ; he had
learned the wants of a school in the school-room, and hence he enter-
tained no chimerical schemes. Himself a practical man, and p ossess
ing the experience of twenty years’ teaching, all his suggestions in
4 [Snare
regard to the management of a school were practicable ; and the
committee, very soon after his appointm nt, formed the opinion of
him—which they never altere¢—that ke wasa cafe man, a d that his
judgment in regard to educational matters could be relied on. In ad-
dition to all this, he was a laborious teacher. Regarding his of'ce as
the most honorable and important which any person could oceupy, he
never grew weary of his work : fatigued he often was by his severe
labors, but the consciousness of doing right not only sustained him,;
but caused his flagging powers to rally, and he returned to his plea-
sant toil, refreshed and buoyant, as if his crushing cares were a light
and easy burden.
It would be easy to say much more in praise of Mr. Page, but it is.
not the province of the committee to write his eulogium—thus much
duty to the dead required them to say ; and thus much duty to the
living also requires, for in the late principal of the Normal School,
teachers have an example worthy of their imitation.
In selecting a new principal, the committee felt that they had an
important duty to perform, and yet it was not a difficult duty, for
within twelve days after the death of Mr. Page, George R. Perkins;
Esq. was unanimously elected his successor.
From the first opéning of the school, Mr. Perkins had filled the
Professorship of Mathematics, and had most diligently co-operated
with the committee in forming and executing the plans of the school.
Besides, they had enjoyed an intimate acquaintanceship with him for
about three years ; they had seen him in the schoolroom, by the fire~
side, and in the street, and. their knowledge of him caused his unani~
anions appointment, and now after the lapse of a year, the committee
aré happy to add, that they have never repented of their selection.
The following is a list of the names and duties of the present corps.
of instructors.
George R. Perkins, A: M.,
Principal and Professor of Mathematics.
William F. Phelps,
Permanent Teacher of Experimental School.
Darwin G:-Eaton,
Teacher of Mathematics, &c.
Sumner C. Webb,
Teacher of Arithinetic; Se.

Silas T. Bowen,
Teacher of Grammar, Mathematics, &c.
William W. Clark,
Teacher of Natural Philosophy and Ce mistry.
Traman H. Bowen,
Teacher of Vocal Music, &¢.
Elizabeth C. Hance,
Teather of Reading and Geography.
Ann Maria Ostrom,
Teacher of Drawing. '
Upon the transference of Mr. Perkins to the principalship, no ad-
dition was made to the number of instructors, but a considerable in-
‘erease of duties was imposed upon the teachers; and the committee
‘are happy to state, that their wishes in this respect were cheerfully
acceded to, and the duties imposed have been faithfully performed.
The arrangements of the institution remain substantially the same
‘as at the date of the last report, a few changes have, however, been
made, swhich will now be.mentioned. One change has been, the in-
troduction of “Wayland’s Elements of Moral Science, abridged.” as
a-text book. Moral Philosophy had been previously taught by lee-
‘tures alone, but it was found that mere oral instruction was not suffi-
cient to give the student definite ideas upon the all: important subject
‘of man’s moral relations; a text-book was therefore intreduced, to
which the lectures of the teacher will hereafter be subsidiary. Ano-
‘ther change has been the arrangement of the course of study to suit,the
division of the students into classes, ‘The school is divided into three
classes, called Junior, Middle and Sentor, and each class has now its
‘own appropriate studies, which are taken up at a fixed time, and which
follow each other according to a fixed order. This cliange is found
to be of decided advantage; there is now a time for every study, but
before this arrangement was made, the studies were left somewhat to
‘convenience, and each did not receive the measure of attention which
it deserved. For a list of the studies pursued in each di d
also of the text books, see Appendix (A.)) .

In addition to the above; the executive committee have appointed
eight males and thirty-six females, making in all, 952 persons, who’
have enjoyed the adyantages of the Normal School.
In appointing these forty-four persons, - it will be noticed, that the
committee have departed from the rule which was-made by thém-
selves, and approved’ by the Regents. This-rale limits the numberof’
pupils,who may at any one time be admitted to the school; 10 256;
each county having the privilege of- sending: twice as many’ students
ag it has members in-the assembly: this rule furthermore entrusts the
selectidn of pupils to the county aud town -superintendents’in each
county; the following direction, among others, being given, to'govern
them in making appointments: “ That the appointments in-each coun-
ty should be made at’a meeting of the county and town superintend-
ents, ealled by thé county superintendent: for that purpose.” ‘This
duty, the committee take pleasure in-stating, was always most cheer~
fully aiid faithfally performed by the above. named officers. “At-the
close of. each term of the school, the. State Superintendent was‘accts-
tomed to senda ciréular to each county superintendent, informing:
him of ‘the number of'vacancies, which .it-would be necessary to fill,
and upén the receipt‘of the sane, the county superintendents imme-
diately‘called a meetitig and examined the applicants who presented
themselves. But they did more than this; they made diligent inqui-
ries in their respective counties for suitable. persons, and having found
them, tiled to inducé’ them to ‘avail themselves of the advantages'of
the schéol. By this means, ‘the representation. of the counties*was
kept upy'and it may‘be added;. they were. represented by the'most
suitable! persons thatcould be" obtained. . It.is also nothing but jus-
tice to Say still further, that the duty. of secking: out. and-sélectitig”
such suitable persons*was mainly, if not. entirely discharged -by-the
county saperintendenits; the town superintendents:seldcm doing more
than attending the meeting and giving a vote. :
‘No. 8.] 5 :
From a knowledge of these facts, ‘the committee regarded with
deep anxiety the debates of the Legislature in regard to the county
superintendency, and when these debates were ended by the abolish«
ment of the office, they were seriously apprehensive, that the change
would be very detrimental to the Normal School: The committee regret
to add that these apprehensions have been proved to be well ground-
ed, for the number of the students in the Normal School has most
sensibly diminished since the county superintendents went out of of-
fice. That the Regents may have the facts in the case fully present-
ed to their view, the following table is. subjoined, which will show
the actual state of the school since the county superintendency was
abolished. The first column of figures shows the number of students
which each county has a right to send to the school. ‘The second
gives the number which were in the school from each county during
the term beginning May, 1848. The, third gives the number of
empty seats in each county during the same term. The fourth gives
the number of students from each county, who are now in the school,
the term having begun November last, and the fifth gives the vacant
seats

From a careful examination of these tables, it will be seen, that
the school has experienced a serious diminution in the number of its
stadents. In the eighth term, which, was the first after the county
superintendents went out of office, there were fifty-seven vacant seats,
and at the beginning of the present term, the school lacked one hun-
dred and twenty-two of having a full representation from the coun-
ties. In the eighth term, twenty-six counties were partially repre-
sented, four had no representation, and twenty-nine were fully repre-
sented. In the ninth (the present) term, thirty-five are partially re~
presented, eleven have no representation, and but thirteen are fully
represented.
In view of these facts, the question may very properly be asked,
what is the cause of this diminution? If the committee are called
upon to answer the inquiry, they will say, that it is the firm and set-
tled conviction of their minds, that it arises from the want of the,
faithful, fostering care of the county superintendents,and that the nor-
mal school cannot answer its designed end, unless there be in each
county some competent and efficient supervising and auxiliary agency.
‘That the diminution has not been caused by any loss of the public
confidence in the school is manifest, first, from the often repeated ex-
pressions of favor which have been made to the committee and teachers
by respectable citizens residing in every part of the state ; and second-
ly, from the communications, which have been received by the com-
mittee and teachers, from persons, inquiring how they may secure ap-
pointments and avail themselves of the advantages of the school.
There is, indeed, no reason to doubt, that there. are now a hundred
_ Persons living in the different counties of the state, who would have
been registered as'students in the normal ‘school, had the office of
county superintendent been continued. . :
ag [Senate
‘Itisa duty, which the committee owe to themselves to state still
further, that in as much as they had anticipated this diminution, they
used every precaution and exerted all their energy to prevent it. A
circular was prepared and printed, which was signed by the State
Superintendent, and , sent to every town superintendent in the state,
urging the calling of a meeting for the examination of applicants.
But in as much as the names of these officers were not known, the
circulars had to be addressed to “to the town superintendent,” &c.,
and hence there is reacon to fear that a large number of the circulars
never reached the hands of those for whom they were intended. But
whether the circulars were received or not, this is an undoubted fact,
that in many counties no meeting of the town superintendents was
held; und where they were held, few, and in some cases, no appli-
cants appeared. And yet froin some of these counties, letters have
‘been received from persons asking to be admitted to the school. From
these facts, the committee feel warranted in concluding, that the di-
minution, in the number of students, has been caused by the want of
the faithful guardianship of the county superintendents.
Under these circumstances, the committee were obliged to depart
somewhat from the former rule of selection, and since the town officers
failed to appoint, the committee have admitted to the school all suita~
ple persons, residents of the state, who have applied to them; such
applicants having been in every case examined, and having given a
pledge, that they would devote themselves to the work of teaching
common schools. The number of persons thus appointed, were six
during the eighth term, and forty-one during the presentterm. Seyeral
others, upon examination were found incompetent, and rejected, thus
being subjected to much trouble, expense and mortification, the greater
part of which might have been avoided, if the meetings of the town
superintendents had been held in every county,

Experimental School.
In the experimental school there are seventy pupils, between the
ages of six and sixteen years, of whom thirty-five are free pupils.
The others pay for their tuition $20-a year. This school gives the
senior class of the Normal Schoolan opportunity of learning and prac-
tising the best modes of instruction and government. In regard: to
this school, the committee have nothing to add to the very full report
of it, which was given last year,
Tn closing this report, the committee would embrace the opportunity
of reiterating the expression of their corifidence in the normal school.
After the lapse of another year, they are happy to say that nothing
has occurred to diminish confidence in the system, but on the con-
trary, inuch has come under theif observation, which has served to
deépen former impressions of the absolute necéssity of the normal
school to give completeness and efficiency to our common school sys-
tem.
By an act of the Legislature, passed April 12, 1848, chapter 318,
éntitled “An act forthe permanent establishment of the Normal School,”
the Legislature appropriated the sum of fifteen thousand dollars, for
“the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of the
State Normal School.’? The second section of that.actis as follows:
“The said building shall be erected under the direction of the exé-
cutive committee of the school, upon the ground owned by the state,
and lying in the rear of the Geological Rooms.”
In accordance with this act, the committee immediately began their
arrangements for the erection of said builditg. Their first business
was, to obtain, ftom the corporation of the city of Albany, a releasé
of their right to the lot upon which the Legislature had ordered that
‘thé building should be erected. This was accomplished without diff-
Galty, the corporation cheerfully executing the necessary release. TE
ig algo due to the corporation of Albany to say, that they have always
beef ready to accede to every wish of the committee in reference to
thé school. Since the establishment of the school, the city of Albany
has expended over $8,000 for it. They have paid $5,000 for the rent
of the present school building, and the release of the lot in the reat
of the Geological Rooms, involved the city in an expense of over
$3,000 in the purchase of a new site for the engine house, and the
4 [Sexare
erection of a building” They have also contributed $500 to the re-
pairs and fitting up of the present school building.
The plans for the building next demanded attention. This duty
called for much observation, consultation and thought, and at length
the committee resolved on a plan of building, which they thought
suitable to the wants of the school. But upon advertising for pro-
posals, the committee, to their surprise, found that the appropriation
would be wholly insufficient. This threw them into a great difficulty ;
for they did not feel themselves at liberty to enter into a contract,
which would involve the state ina much larger debt than was con-
templated by the act, nor did they wish to put up a building which
would be wholly unsuitable. Under these circumstances they did that
which seemed to them just and proper, and their action will be best
understood by giving one or two extracts from the concract which they
have made with the builders :
“ The said building shall be so far completed that it can be used
for the purpose of keeping a school therein, according to the specifi-
cations aforesaid, and hereto annexed and the. plans and drawings
aforesaid, on or before the first day of July next for the sum of fifteen
thousand dollars to be paid as hereinafter specified.”
“And whereas, it is understood by and between the parties to this
agreement, that the said building is not to be fully and completely fin-
ished according to the annexed specifications, and said plans and draw-
ings for the sum of $15,000, but is only to be so far finished for that
sum, that it can be uséd:for the’ purpose of teaching a school therein,
and to the extent hereinafter specified ; to accomplish that purpose,
the parties of the first part promise and agree to and with the parties of
the second part, that if the Legislature shall hereafter appropriate the
further sum of seven thousdnd and five hundred dollars for the pur-
pose of having said buildidg fully and completely finished, and shall
put that sum at the disposal of the parties of the first part, as such ex-
ecutive committee, for that purpose, then and in such case, the parties of
the second part, covenant, promise and agree to and with the parties of
the first part, to fully and completely finish in every respect and parti-
cular, the said building according to the annexed specifications and the
aforesaid plans and drawings, and 1o do and complete said work with-
in six months after said appropriation shall be made.”
No. 8.] 16
In this contract there are two points to which the committee would
direct the attention of the State Superintendent and Regents.
Ast. If the Legislature should be unwilling to grant any further ap-
propriation, the school can be kept in the new building, though the
arrangements will be very far from commodious.
2d. If the additional $7,500 be granted by the Legislature, the full
and complete finishing which the contract speaks of, is not the render-
ing the building what it ought to be, but the mere fulfilling the terms
of the specifications. “Now the specifications, upon which this contract
was made, were drawn up with the thought ever present to the mind
that even some necessary things must be left out, that the Legislature
might not feel themselves required to appropriate, or to speak more
correctly, that the executive committee might not doa dishonorable
action.
The Committee feel no little inward satisfaction in saying, that if
the Legislature should feel indisposed to make any further appropria-
tion, the Committee have done nothing which will hinder them from
acting according to their wisdom and pleasure. But at the same
time, they cannot for a moment believe, that the sum will be denied,
which will render the Normal School a lasting blessing to the State of
New-York,
If it should be inquired of the Committee, how large an additional
sum would be needed to make the building, what in the opinion of the
Committee, it ought to be ; they would answer that an addition of
$10,000 to the original appropriation will be sufficient. It may be
proper to add that a further appropriation will be needed for the fur-
nishing of the school rooms; for this purpose the unexpended remain-
der of the sum appropriated in 1844 for “the establishment of the
Normal School” will be more than sufficient; the committee would
therefore ask that they be allowed to draw as much of that fund as
shall be necessary.
Of the $15,000 appropriated for the erection of the new building,
39,000 have been drawn from the Treasury and paid to the contractors.
