TIVH NOILVULSININGV
Design of the College
HE New York State Normal College was estab-
lished in 1890 for the purpose of giving
instruction 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 have a direct
bearing upon the profession of teaching. The courses
of instruction included philosophy of education, school
economy, history of education, systems of education,
methods of teaching and such other subjects as are
immediately related to the professional work of the
teacher.
The institution was chartered as a college and
empowered to confer degrees in pedagogy, but no
opportunities 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 arts or science have been
acceptable. Furthermore, institutions of learning not
(7)
8 State Normal College
especially devoted to preparing teachers for their
profession have become impressed 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 instruc-
tion in the history and philosophy of education, and
some of them give instruction in methods of teaching,
covering, however, the whole field from the alphabet
to calculus in a score or less lectures. This growing
interest in the study of pedagogics is ar
1 encouraging
indication of the awakening of all classes to an appreci-
ation of the value of philosophical methods of teaching,
and the students who pursue such cour
ses are better
qualified to enter upon the wor
k 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 Normal
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 professi
essential to intelligent and succes
room.

Fitness for the Work
It should be borne in mind, 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 to success. All persons
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 learing or wanting
in skill to instruct or m 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. Consequently, 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 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 com-
bine all these qualifications ia-grand-and-harmenious
preportiens, 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.
IO 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 suc
cessful application of the methods of teaching and fee
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 illustrations to guide
them in the application of the principles underlying
education. The courses of study cover the subjene
necessary for preparation for business, for college,
or for entering the Normal College.

Application for credit in this way must be made at
the time the candidate applies for admission. All
diplomas, certificates and pass-cards must be for-
24 State Normal Colle ve
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 principal
of the school, and certifying that they have satisfac-
torily completed all the work required for admission.
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 standing
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 8.
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
eiiaitiieiaae cea
een neeetnnnennpniiesesins
sciiiatiiabttinnenithiiitinnente
Albany, New York 25
the same regulations regarding attendance and examin-
ations as other students and are required to take at
least fifteen hours of work a week.
Holders of State Certificates, diplomas from colleges,
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 8 a certified
and detailed statement of their previous work,
together with testimonials of character and ability
from the institution last attended. They must further-
more satisfy the Faculty, by examination or otherwise,
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
further 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 profession.
This conviction frequently prevents 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. 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.

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 board-
ing-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 af-
fected by hard times and general business depression.
With the constantly increasing demand for professicn-
hain
Albany, New York 77
ally 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 pet-
son to give an additional year or two to obtain a more
adequate preparation for his life work—to such a per-
son 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 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.
LIBRARIES
In the Reference Library the College has a good
collection 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
Christian Association Library, and the Public Library,
78 State Normal College
are open daily for readers and for drawings books. In
these libraries almost any work upon any subject may
be found, aad the students may here pursue their
investigations with the greatest success, and also be-
come acquainted with all the current literature.
READING Rooms
The reading rooms afford unusual opportunities to
the students to acquaint themselves with current lit-
erature 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, re-
views, 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 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.
Museum oF NATURAL HISTORY
In this Institution the State has provided, at an
expense of nearly a million and a half 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 be-
lieved 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’ study-
ing the heavens, but also because of the ability of the
Director and his assistants. The students of the Col-
lege 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 lec-
tures and entertainments, to which the students are
admitted without charge. The following is the list of

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 Col-
lege, two courses of lectures and entertainments are
provided each year—one by the Young Men’s Christ-
ian 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.
