STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
It is true also that only a few of the teachers of the country
have given much thought to the science or to the philosophy
of education, and the number is smaller who have paid special
attention to scientific methods of teaching. Many of the pupils
in our schools have been checked in their intellectual develop-
ment by the unphilosophical and, consequently, unnatural pre-
sentation of truth, and others have been deprived of the
opportunities for mental growth because of the false ideals
which the teachers seek to- realize in their work.
PRACTICE IN TEACHING
The Normal College endeavors to found all method of
teaching upon correct philosophical and pedagogical princi-
ples, but more than that, it requires the students in training
to display commendable skill in the method of presenting sub-
jects before they receive. their diplomas.
Some institutions of learning not especially devoted to
preparing teachers for their profession have become impressed
with the necessity of professional training, and they are offer-
ing 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, cover-
ing, however, the whole field from the alphabet to the calculus
in a score or less of lectures. The 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 pur-
sue such courses are better qualified to enter upon the work
of a teacher in consequence of the philosophy, the history, and
the methods of instruction. And yet such instruction is
quite inadequate to meet the needs of those who are intelli-
gently and honestly endeavoring to prepare themselves for
successful work in that profession.
And then, too, it should never be forgotten that teaching
is an art as well as a science and that the art can be acquired
only by practice. The Normal College has the unique
equipment of every form of school below the college, so that
ALBANY, NEW YORK
students may acquire, under the guidance of their teachers,
such skill in applying the principles of teaching that their
success can be guaranteed.
FITNESS FOR THE WorK
It should be borne in mind, however, that some persons
who have a desire to teach have no natural aptitude 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
for success. All persons who have the scholarship needful
to enable them to understand and use the methods of teaching
in an effective way, and who believe that they have natural
endowments which will enable them to control pupils, are
invited to become members of the classes in the College, but
we do not pretend to make capable teachers of those who are
deficient in learning, or wanting in skill to instruct or in tact
io 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, consequently, it may be well to add that
many of the endowments needed for success in other vocations
are needed for successful teaching. Alertness of intellect,
tireless energy, inspiring enthusiasm, high moral purpose and
a proper conception of the relations 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.
Those who seek admission to the College with the hope
of securing a degree in pedagogy should understand that
as much time and study are required to secure the degree as
are usually required in our best colleges to obtain a degree in
philosophy or in science.

COURSE FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES
Many graduates from literary colleges are of the opinion
that the instruction given in the Normal College consists
13 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
simply of a review of the subjects taught in secondary schools,
and they, consequently, feel that a year spent in such work
will be of little value to them, not to say unnecessary, but in
fact the instruction given is of a very different kind from that,
and it is of a character which will prove to be of the utmost
value to them in the profession of teaching.
A person who has completed a course at a college often
deems himself qualified to teach, and the conviction is quite
common that tact in managing pupils combined with good
scholarship is all that is necessary to attain the highest success
in the profession. The prevalence of such ideas often pre-
vents the best scholars, and those who have the greatest natural
aptitude for teaching, from seeking to learn the principles of
their profession and the best way of applying them. If college
graduates who have excellent attainments in scholarship and
natural fitness for teaching would acquaint themselves with
modern methods of instruction as well as the established prin-
ciples and the generally accepted theories of education, and if
they should become skillful in applying these principles practi-
cally in the schoolroom, they would advance rapidly to the
front rank in the profession.
Graduates of colleges and universities will be allowed to
select (with the approval of the faculty) from the curriculum
a course of study which may be completed in one year. Upon
completing it successfully and showing their ability to instruct
and manage pupils properly, they will receive diplomas which
will be licenses to teach, and the degree of Bachelor of Peda-
gogy will also be conferred upon them.
So far as possible college graduates are formed into
classes by themselves.
SPECIAL COURSE
It is often the case that persons who have been teaching
for several years realize very keenly the need of profes-
sional training, but they feel that they can not spend the
time necessary to complete a full course, nor can they

afford the expense which such a course would entail. A
special course is offered to such, 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. The demand for teachers of experience in the
management of schools who have skill in employing rational
methods of instruction is very great and the opportunity
offered by the College to such candidates for equipping
themselves to do the best work will, it is believed, enable
mature and competent instructors to obtain a good knowl-
edge of the philosophy and history of education, and to improve
their methods of teaching, so that they will materially increase
their salaries and obtain more desirable positions than they
have held hitherto.
The basis for a successful application of the principles of
education to methods of teaching is broad and accurate scholar-
ship, consequently, none who have not studied what are
ordinarily termed the higher subjects in our high schools, and
who have not scholarly tastes and habits will be allowed to
pursue this course.
Persons who have at least the scholarship required for admis-
sion to the English course, as given on page I1 of this calendar,
and who also have a State certificate, will be allowed to
complete a special course in one year.
If they succeed in doing the work of the course in a satis-
factory manner, they will be granted a diploma which will
also be a license to teach for life in the public schools of
the State.
This course will include substantially the subjects prescribed
in the first and last terms of the English course.
COURSE: FOR SUPERVISORS OF SCHOOLS
This course has been arranged for the purpose of giving
superintendents, stpervisors, school commissioners, direc-
tors of teachers’ training classes, critics in normal schools
and others an opportunity to secure a broad pedagogical

COURSE FOR KINDERGARTNERS
ADMISSION
Applicants must be at least eighteen years of age. They
must possess at least the scholarship prescribed for admis-
sion to the English course given on a previous page of this
circular. They should have a natural love for children so
that they may enter into childish joys and sorrows in a
sympathetic manner; they should have the consciousness
of a high moral purpose and a love for nature; they should
also possess good health, industry, and a cheerful and con-
tented disposition. They should be able to play the piano,
and have a true ear and voice for singing.
Young ladies who have the idea that kindergarten work
means simply amusement for the young will find that they

are in error, for only those who are earnest students and
who have natural aptitude for controlling little children and
for instructing them, can hope to secure a diploma which certi-
fies to their ability to take charge of a kindergarten.
Those who decide to become Kindergartners because they
lack the power to control older children are advised not to
waste time in studying and learning Kindergarten philosophy
and methods, for perhaps greater natural ability is required
to govern pupils when they are of Kindergarten age than when
they are more mature.

Those who desire to enter the course for Kindergartners
must present themselves at the beginning of the college year
in September, because only one training class will be organized
during the year.
Only a limited number of Kindergartners can be trained
in the College, consequently application for appointments
should be made as early as possible.
KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION
The city of Albany has a large number of earnest and
enthusiastic Kindergartners. They have frequent meetings
for the purpose of discussing questions pertaining to their
special work, and they have sustained at a large expense,
courses of lectures by the best Kindergarten experts in
26 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
America. The students in attendance at the Normal Col-
lege are allowed the privilege of attending these lectures and
of getting the inspiration that comes from meeting with and
hearing those who have devoted themselves to the work of
training the youngest children.
Courses of lectures have been given by the following emi-

MODEL SCHOOL
A model school is organized and maintained so that students
may have an opportunity for observing the successful appli-
cation of the methods of teaching, and that they may have an
opportunity to display their knowledge of the subjects taught
and their skill in teaching and managing pupils.
The school has four departments: Kindergarten, Primary,
Grammar and High School. The courses of study cover the
subjects necessary for preparation for business, for college, or
for entering the Normal College.
It is designed to make the school what its name signifies,
a model which graduates may follow advantageously in
methods of teaching and in discipline.
The teaching in this school is done chiefly by pupil
teachers, though model lessons are given from time to time
by the teachers in charge, so that those who are preparing to
teach may have illustrations to guide them in the application
of the principles underlying education.

General Information
APPOINTMENTS
LL persons desiring admission to the College should
A apply to their School Commissioner or City Superin-
tendent for an appointment. The appointments will be sent
by him to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who will
send them to the President of the Normal College.
Students from any part of the State may receive appoint-
ments to membership in the College, and School Commis-
sioners and City Superintendents are not restricted as to the
number of appointments issued.
DECLARATION
Before being admitted to the college, students will be
required to sign the following declaration: We, the under-
signed, hereby declare that our object in entering the New
York State Normal College is to prepare ourselves to dis-
charge in an efficient manner the duties of a teacher: and we
further declare that it is our intention to devote ourselves to
teaching in the schools of the State.
EXPENSES
There will be no charge for instruction to those who are
residents of this State, and text-books will be loaned without
expense. Persons not residents of the State will be charged
twenty dollars per term for their tuition and the use of books.
Kindergartners are required to pay ten dollars for ma-
terials.
Board can be obtained in respectable families at rates
varying from $3.75 to $5.00 per week, exclusive of washing.
Those who wish to board themselves can rent furnished rooms
for from $1.00 to $1.25 per week for each person when two
occupy a room.
ALBANY, NEW YORK 29
All boarding-places are visited by some member of the
Faculty, who inspects the house and its surroundings, and
examines into the sanitary condition of the premises. Stu-
dents 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 boarding-places
before their arrival in the city, but those who are specially
anxious to have rooms secured before they come should
address Mrs. Margaret S. Mooney at the State Normal Col-
lege, who will give them as much assistance as possible.
Upon arriving in the city, students should go directly to
the College building upon Willett street, where they will
find a member of the Faculty, who will direct then: to suitable
ve. should be retained

boarding-places. Checks for bagga
until rooms are secured.
SITUATIONS FOR GRADUATES
Teaching as a livelihood has not been greatly affected by
hard times and general business depression. With the con-
stantly increasing demand for professionally trained teachers
of superior qualifications have come higher financial rewards.
To the young man or young woman, whose health, disposi-
tion, 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 obtain a more adequate preparation for his life work
—to such a person there is every inducement to enter upon 2
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 Col-
lege are furnished suitable positions when they have com-
pleted 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. Hlowever, no pains are
MAUVd AHL NI MGIA V
ALBANY, NEW YORK 31
spared to secure suitable and remunerative positions for
graduates, and those whose attainments in scholarship, skill
in instructing, 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.
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
1. Those who propose to purstie a course of study here
should possess good health. Those who are exhausted 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 a feeble physical condition will be likely
to find it too exhausting.
2. The classes in every subject are the same for every
term, so that students who have not sufficient means to enable
them to complete a course by continuous residence at the Col-
lege, may leave the College for a term, or longer, and return
at the beginning of a term and continue their work.
3. Thorough scholarship is necessary as a preparation for
the successful study of the methods of teaching. J? stwdents
have not recently passed examinations in the subjects pre-
scribed for admission, it will be well for them to review their
studies thoroughly before entering.
4. Persons who are unable to express themselves in cor-
rect English, read with fluency, write legibly, and spell with
reasonable accuracy, will not be graduated under any circum-
stances, no matter how capable they may be in other respects.
5. It will be advisable for students to bring with them any
‘text-books they may have. They will be useful as reference
books during the course.
6. The College opens on the second Wednesday of Sep-
tember and the Spring term begins twenty-one weeks there-
after. All applicants for admission should present their
32 STATE NORMAL COLLEGE
credentials on the opening days. Those who are to be exam-
ined should also be present at the beginning of each semester,
so that they may be examined promptly and assigned to the
proper classes.
LOCATION OF COLLEGE
The College buildings are situated in the most beautiful
and attractive part of the city of Albany. They front
upon Washington Park, which is a model of beauty and
taste. The park is not a part of the College property, but
it is quite as valuable to the students as though it were. It
comprises about one hundred acres of hill and valley, and lake
and plain, adorned with a variety and profusion of trees and
shrubs and flowers, with statues and fountain and everything
to render it attractive. This park is thought by many to be one
of the most attractive in America, and its proximity to the
College makes it a source of profit and of delight to the
students. The lake is within five minutes walk of the College,
and in summer and winter alike it gives pleasure to all who
frequent it.
The College is about a mile and a half from the railway
stations, but it may be conveniently reached by those who
arrive by train or steamboat, by the Pine Hills electric cars
which pass on Broadway near the stations and the docks. They
run within half a block of the College. The “Belt Line A”
electric cars also run within one-half block of the College.
They may be found on Pearl street.
LIBRARIES
The college has a good collection of works of reference to
which the students have access daily. Besides this, the State
Library, the Young Men’s Association Library, the Young
Men’s 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 can be found, and
the students may here pursue their investigations with the
greatest success, and also become acquainted with all the cur-
rent literature.

READING ROOMS
The reading rooms afford unusual opportunities to the
‘students to acquaint themselves with current literature and
current events. Every periodical of 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 reading room at the
College is open every afternoon, 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 10 o’clock in the evening.
MUSEUM OF 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 equaled 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, with the specimens and
the relics and curios which are found in the museum.
DUDLEY 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 studying the heavens, but also
because of the ability of the Director and his assistants. The
students of the College will have ihe opportunity of visiting
the observatory and learning of the practical workings of
astronomical apparatus.
GYMNASIUM
There is in connection with the Young Men’s Christian
Association a superior gymnasium fitted up
, at large expense,

with all the most approved appliances for securing proper
physical development. The members of the classes are
examined by the director of physical culture, and such exercises
are prescribed as will strengthen them in the direction in which
strength is needed. All the training and exercises are super-
vised by the professor in charge, and care is taken to secure
health and activity rather than mere strength.
LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS
A course of lectures by distinguished specialists is main-
tained at the College, to which students are admitted without
charge. The following indicates the scope of the lecture
course recently given:

In addition to the course 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 avail-
able, 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 concerts given
by the most eminent musicians, addresses by the most dis-
tinguished speakers, and other entertainments by the best talent
in the land.

Professor Samuel B. Belding, the professor of music, gives
to the students every term a complimentary organ recital. In
these recitals he always calls to his aid the best vocal talent
in the country, so that the students are rendered familiar with
what is best in those departments of music.
