Design of the College

HE New York State Normal College was estab-
lished in 1890 for the purpose of giving in-
struction exclusively in the science and-in the art of
teaching. From that time until 1905 it was a purely
professional institution and consequently nothing
was studied or taught in it which did not havea
direct bearing upon the profession of teaching. The
courses of instruction included philosophy of educa-
tion, school economy, history of education, systems of
education, methods of teaching and such other sub-
jects as are immediately related to the professional
work of the teacher.

The institution was chartered as a college and em-
powered to confer degrees in pedagogy, but no oppor-
tunities were afforded to pursue courses of study
similar to those pursued in ordinary literary colleges.
The strictly professional character of its work
marked it as a unique institution for the preparation
of teachers; and since the requirements for admission
were broader in scholarship than those of most
literary colleges, the College was designated to train
teachers for secondary schools only. But during the
last decade the demands of scholarship upon the high
school teachers have been growing increasingly higher
and more exacting. In many cases nothing less than
college graduation and the possession of a degree in

8 State Normal College

arts or science have been acceptable. Furthermore,
institutions of learning not especially devoted to pre-
paring teachers for their profession have become im-
pressed with the necessity of professional training,
and they have established departments of pedagogy
in which they offer as elective studies to members of
their senior classes some instruction in the history
and philosophy of education, and some of them give
instruction in methods of teaching, covering, how-
ever, the whole field from the alphabet to calculus in
a score or less of lectures. This growing interest in
the study of pedagogics is an encouraging indication
of the awakening of all classes to an appreciation of
the value of philosophical methods of teaching, and
the students who pursue such courses are better
qualified to enter upon the work of a teacher in con-
sequence of the philosophy and history of education
and the methods of instruction.

In view of these conditions the State Education
Department reorganized the College five years ago and
extended the scope and breadth of its work so that
it is equipped for the attainment of scholarship equal
to that of literary and scientific colleges. By special
decree in 1905, the Regents set apart the Nor-
mal College as an institution for the preparation of
teachers of secondary, normal and training schools
and for the development of superintendents of schools,
whose intellectual attainments shall be as broad and
as high as are demanded of any teachers of the State,
and who shall also have received the higher profes-
sional training essential to intelligent and successful
work in the school room.

Fitness for the Work

It should be borne in mind, that some persons
who have a desire to teach have no natural apti-
tude for the work. Thorough scholarship is necessary
as a foundation for correct methods of teaching, but
fine scholars are not all capable of acquiring that skill
in instructing which is requisite to success. All per-
sons who have the scholarship needful to enable them
to understand and to use the methods of teaching in
an effective way, and who believe that they have
natural endowments that will enable them to control
pupils, are invited to become members of the classes
in the College, but no pretense is made to form capable
teachers of those who are deficient in learning or wanting
in skill to instruct or in tact to manage pupils.

To be sure, a person is not always a good judge
of his own worth; he may over-estimate his ability,
or he may sometimes under-estimate it. Conse-
quently, it may be well to add that many of the
endowments needed for success in other vocations are
needed also for successful teaching. Alertness of
intellect, tireless energy, inspiring enthusiasm, high
moral purpose and a proper conception of the rela-
tions of teacher and pupil, coupled with correct ideas
regarding the ends of education and proper methods
of attaining them, can not fail to render a healthy and
attractive person conspicuously successful as a teacher.
Very few combine all these qualifications in grand
and harmonious proportions, but all are needed, and
they should be possessed in a reasonable degree of
development by every one who hopes to attain
prominence in the profession of teaching.


State Normal College

Model High School

It should never be forgotten, furthermore, that
teaching is an art as well as a science and that the art
can be acquired only by practice.

To meet this need the College has a Model High
School for observation and practice teaching. Here
students may have the opportunity of observing
the successful application of the methods of teaching
and here they may acquire, under the guidance of
their teachers, such skill in applying the principles of
teaching that their success can be guaranteed. It is
designed to make this school what its name signifies,
a model which graduates may follow advantageously
in methods of teaching and in discipline. Model
lessons are given by the teachers in charge so that
those who are preparing to teach may have illustra-
tions to guide them in the application of the princi-
ples underlying education. The courses of study
cover the subjects necessary for preparation for busi-
ness, for college, or for entering the Normal College.

Admission
GENERAL CONDITIONS

Applicants for admission as under-graduates must
be at least seventeen years of age, and must have cer-
tificates of good moral character. If they come from

Scope of Entrance Subjects

The following descriptive outline indicates the
amount of preparation expected in each of the sub-
jects named.

I. EnciisHo—(Thirteen Academic Regents Counts.)
—The candidate shall be required to have pursued
four years’ study of Academic English embracing
work in Literature, Composition, Rhetoric and
Grammar.

1. Literature. The books prescribed are selected
from those specified in the uniform requirements
recommended by a conference composed of delegates
from the four associations of colleges and preparatory
schools in New England, The Middle States, The
North Central States and the South. Books read and
studied should illustrate some principle of selection,
because of their direct appeal to the interest of the
student, or because of their relation to some literary
type or period, or because of their value in connection
with some special phase of work in composition.

2. Composition and Rhetoric. To secure variety of
composition students may be called upon to write
stories, anecdotes, abstracts, character-sketches, de-
scriptions of persons and places, news items, editorials
and imaginative items suggested by the literature. At
least four long compositions should be required each
year, showing individual research on the part of the
student. Familiarity with the elements and termi-

nology of rhetoric should be developed gradually from
material found in literature and put into use in the

compositions of the students. Students should have
acquaintance with the main characteristics of the
more important literary types, such as epic, lyric,


14 : State Normal College

essay, novel and drama, and attention should be paid
to versification and figures of speech.

3. Oral Expression. Much time should be given to
the development of clearness in oral expression.
Students should be trained to overcome common
errors in speech, and to express themselves clearly
and forcefully in sustained discourse. Attention
should be given to distinctness of utterance, pro-
nunciation, inflection and phrasing.

4. Grammar. Students should be able to explain
the common grammatical relations of the sentence as
they are found in the prose and verse of standard liter-
ature. Analysis and parsing when used in connection
with the study of literature should be employed only
for the purpose of elucidating difficult constructions
or involved sentences.

II. Latin—a. Elementary—(Ten Academic Regents
Counts.)—1) Grammar and Prose Composition. The
study of these subjects should be continued through
the course, and should include:

a) A systematic study of the main principles of
Latin syntax. In order to secure the

book which gives systematic study should
be completed.

b) The translations of connected passages based
upon the Latin of Caesar.

2) Caesar, Gallic War, four books.

b. Advanced—(Ten Academic Regents Counts.)—

1) Cicero, six orations of which Manilian Lawis one.

warded to the President before the opening of the
term.

3—Graduates of public or private schools that have
been placed by the Faculty upon its approved list,
will be admitted without examination upon the pre-
sentation of a recommendation signed by the princi-
pal of the school, and certifying that they have satis-
factorily completed all the work required for admis-
sion. Certificates of this nature should be forwarded
to the President at as early a date as possible.

Admission to Advanced Standing

Applicants for admission to advanced standing
coming from other colleges and universities will be
granted credit for their previous work upon presenta-
tion of an official certificate of standing.

Other applicants for admission to advanced stand-
ing must satisfy the entrance requirements of this
College and may present themselves for examination
in any subject or subjects found in the course for the
degree for which they desire to become candidates,
provided they arrange for the same with the President
at the time of entrance.

All applicants must furnish certificates of honorable
dismissal from the institution last attended and must
send their formal application for admission to the
President before September 14.

Admission of Special Students

Students of maturity and good character, who have
had the previous training requisite to profit by them,
are admitted to the various courses of study, without
being candidates for a degree. They are subject to


Albany, New York 25

‘the same regulations regarding attendance and exam-
inations as other students and are required to take at
least fifteen hours of work a week.

Holders of State Certificates, diplomas from col-
leges, universities, the Regents of the University of
the State of New York and some other institutions,
who have been teaching for several years, often realize
very keenly the need of professional training but feel
that they cannot spend the time necessary to obtain a
degree nor afford the expense which such a course
would entail. To such persons it is particularly
recommended that special subjects be selected with
the approval of the Faculty, in order that they may
gain a knowledge of the philosophy of education and
acquire a reasonable degree of familiarity with modern
methods of teaching, as well as broaden the scope of
their scholarship.

Applicants for admission to special courses must
present to the President before September 14 @ certi-
fied and detailed statement of their previous work,
together with testimonials of character and ability
from the institution last attended. They must fur-
thermore satisfy the Faculty, by examination or other-
wise, that they are qualified to pursue the subjects
desired.

Certificates of their attainments will be granted to
special students who complete satisfactorily the
courses pursued. :

Admission of College Graduates

Graduates of colleges and universities are admitted
upon the presentation of their diplomas without fur-
ther examination and are permitted to enter upon a


26 State Normal College

course of one year, as candidates for the degree of
Bachelor of Pedagogy. Many such persons who have
completed a course at a college often deem themselves
qualified to teach and believe that tact in governing
pupils combined with good scholarship is all that is
necessary to attain the highest success in the profes-
sion. This conviction frequently prevents the best
scholars and those who have the greatest natural apti-
tude for teaching from seeking to learn the principles
of their profession and the best way of applying them.
It is particularly recommended to such persons that
they acquaint themselves with modern methods of
teaching as well as the established principles and the
generally accepted theories of education, if they hope
to advance to the front rank in the profession.
Subject to the approval of the Faculty the work
pursued by these advanced students will be more
largely pedagogical than that of the regular under-
graduate students A conference concerning it should
be arranged with the President before the opening
day in September. Application for admission under
these conditions should be made to the President.

Admission of Normal School Graduates

Graduates of the Normal Schools of this State
will be admitted upon the presentation of their di-
ploma together with the qualifications in foreign
languages prescribed for entrance and will be per-
mitted to complete in two years any of the courses
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science.

If they are able to meet the conditions of en-
trance to the course leading to the degree of Bache-
lor of Arts, they will be permitted to complete this


MRE Cd SRR REIN

Albany, New York 27

course in two years, provided they pursue during
both years the study of one of the two foreign langu-
ages presented for admission. As a part of the work
all such students will be required in order to be en-
titled to receive their degrees to demonstrate their
ability to teach and to control pupils. Arrangements
for the work to be done should be made by con-
sultation with the President.

Admission of Normal College Graduates

Graduates of the State Normal College, who hold
diplomas for the satisfactory completion of the former
courses of study will be admitted to the new courses
without examination upon the presentation of their
diplomas, and will be permitted to complete in two years
the courses under the following conditions: those who
hold the Classical diploma may take the course lead-
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Arts provided they
pursue during these two years of residence the study
of one of the two foreign languages presented for
admission to the former course; those holding the
English diploma may, take any of the courses lead-
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science provided
they present in addition to their diploma the quali-
fications in foreign languages prescribed for entrance
to these courses. It is further permitted that
graduates holding the English diploma, may, by
meeting the conditions of entrance to the course, be-
come candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
provided they pursue during these two years,
the study of one of the two foreign lan-
guages presented for admission. In all cases the work
must be arranged by conference with the President.


State Normal College

Degrees

Three degrees are conferred by this College: Bach-
elor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of
Pedagogy. The first is conferred on students who
have satisfactorily completed the Regular Course
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The second,
containing mention of the particular course pursued,
is conferred on those who have satisfactorily com-
pleted the Regular Course leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science and the courses for Teachers of
Training Schools, of Industrial Education, of Com-
mercial Subjects, of Domestic Economy andof Art; and
the third, on those students of advanced standing al-
ready holding a bachelor’s degree from an approved
college or university, who have satisfactorily completed
one year of post-graduate study at this College. With
each of these degrees there is granted a license to
teach for life in the public high schools of the State.

All of these courses require four years for their
completion; and unless he has been admitted to ad-
vanced standing, a student is not allowed to graduate
in less than four years of residence without special
permission of the Faculty. This permission, moreover,
will not be granted until the applicant has been in the
College at least one year.

Furthermore to be entitled to receive any one of
these degrees, all students must have completed work
aggregating at least seventy-two points, which means
eighteen points a year for four years.* The value of
the courses in points is indicated in the descriptive
statements accompanying them.

*This change from twenty to eighteen points each year took effect
beginning in September, 1909, so that those students who entered in Sep-
tember, 1906, were required to complete work aggregating seventy-eight
points; those who entered in September, 1907, will be required to have
seventy-six points; those who entered in September, 1908, seventy-four

points, and those who entered in September, 1909, and who shall enter
thereafter seventy-two poiats.

State Normal College

General Information

OPENING Day

The College session opens on the second Wednesday
of September and all applicants for admission should
present their credentials on the opening day. Those
who are to be examined should present themselves on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the preceding
week, so that they may be examined promptly and
assigned to the proper classes.

LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE

The College is located between Western and Wash-
ington avenues, at Robin street. The Offices are in
the Administration Building where information con-
cerning boarding places, the courses of study and
the places of meeting of the college classes may be
obtained by the students. The location is about a
mile and a half from the railway stations, but may be
conveniently reached by those who arrive by train or
steamboat, by the ‘“ West Albany” or ‘‘Allen street’”’
electric cars which pass on Broadway near the
stations and the docks. They run within two very
short blocks of the grounds,

BoAaRDING-PLACES

Board may be obtained in respectable families at
rates varying from $4.00 to $5.00 per week, exclusive
of washing. Those who wish to board themselves
may rent furnished rooms for $1.00 or $1.25 per week
for each person when two occupy a room.


Albany, New York 73

All boarding places are visited by some member of
the Faculty, who inspects the house and its surround-
ings, and examines into the sanitary condition of the
premises. Students are required to board at such
places only as are approved by the Faculty and no
change of boarding-place may be made without the
consent of the authorities in charge of the College.

It is much better for students not to engage board-
ing-places before their arrival in the city, but those
who are specially anxious to have rooms secured
before they come should address Miss Anna E.
Pierce at the State Normal College, who will give
them as much assistance as possible.

Upon arriving in the city, students should go
directly to the College Offices where they will find
a member of the Faculty, who will direct them to
suitable boarding-places. Checks for baggage should
be retained until rooms are secured.

Goop HEALTH

Those who propose to pursue a course of study
here should possess good health. Those who are ex-
hausted by over-work should not think of entering
the College until they have recovered their physical
and mental vigor, for, while the work required here
may not be too great for a person in good health, a
person in feeble physical condition will be likely to
find it too exhausting.

SITUATIONS FOR GRADUATES

Teaching as a livelihood has not been greatly
affected by hard times and general business depres-
sion. With the constantly increasing demand for pro-


74 State Normal College

fessionally trained teachers of superior qualifications
have come higher financial rewards.

To the young man or young woman, whose health,
disposition and mental endowments are good, who
has received a collegiate or an academic education,
and who is wise enough to know that it pays a young
person to give an additional year or two to obtaina
more adequate preparation for his life work—to such
a person there is every inducement to enter upon a
course of professional training that will fit him to
teach in the best schools in the country.

Inquiry is often made as to whether graduates of
the College are furnished suitable positions when they
have completed a course of instruction. The reply to
such an inquiry must be in the negative, because
school trustees and boards of education are the only
persons authorized by law to select teachers for the
schools. However, no pains are spared to secure
suitable and remunerative positions for graduates, and
those whose attainments in scholarship, skill in in-
structing, and tact in managing are excellent, need
have no fear of being without employment, for the
demand upon the College for such teachers is always
much greater than can be supplied. No graduate of
the College has ever been idle because he could not
find employment.

LIBRARIES

In the Reference Library the College has a good col-
lection of works on literature, pedagogy and science,
and for general reference to which the students have
access daily. Besides this, the State Library, the
Young Men’s Association Library, the Young Men’s

een


Albany, New York 75

Christian Association Library, and the Public Library,
are open daily for readers and for drawing books. In
these libraries almost any work upon any subject may |
be found, and the students may here pursue their |
investigations with the greatest success, and also
become acquainted with all the current literature. |

READING Rooms

The reading rooms afford unusual opportunities to
the students to acquaint themselves with current
literature and current events. Every periodical of ee |
value that is published in this country or in foreign ||
countries may be found on the tables of the public |
reading rooms. Daily, weekly and semi-weekly =|
| papers, magazines, reviews, and quarterlies upon ;

——

literature, science, art, religion and the trades, are
open to the inspection of all readers daily. The read-
ing room at the College is open every day, and those
of the State Library, the Young Men’s Association
and of the Young Men’s Christian Association are
open throughout the day and until ten o’clock in |
the evening. 1

Museum or NaturAL History

In this institution the State has provided, at an
expense of nearly a million and a half of dollars the
means for studying Geology, Botany, Zoology and
Entomology. The collection of specimens exhibited
there is hardly equalled in the country, and it is
believed that for educational purposes it can not
be surpassed. An opportunity will be given the
students to acquaint themselves, as far as possible,


76 State Normal College

with the specimens and the relics and curios which
are found in the museum.

DupLEY OBSERVATORY

No astronomical observatory in America is better
known than this, and it justly stands high, not only
on account of its appliances for observing and study-
ing the heavens, but also because of the ability of
the Director and his assistants. The students of the
College will have the opportunity of visiting the ob-
servatory and of learning the practical working of
‘astronomical apparatus.

LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS

There are offered each year by members of the
Faculty and by distinguished specialists, series of
lectures and entertainments, to which the students
are admitted without charge. The following is the
list of lectures given in 1909-1910.

78 State Normal College

Professor Samuel B. Belding, the professor of
music, gives also to the students every term a compli-
mentary organ recital.

In addition to these entertainments given at the
College, two courses of lectures and entertainments
are provided each year—one by the Young Men’s
Christian Association at Jermain Hall, and the other
by the Albany Business College. For these lecture
courses no pains are spared to secure the best talent
available, and the large audiences which crowd the
halls attest the approval by the public of these means
of education.

There are also frequent opportunities to hear con-
certs given by eminent musicians, addresses by dis-
tinguished speakers, and other entertainments by good
talent.
