From this table it will be seen that a large number have been
connected with the school, who have failed to finish the prescribed course of study. I t is believed, however, that but very few
of this number have failed to use the advantages ,afforded by
this institution, in the service of-the State. The demand for
teachers has been such, during the past year, that quite a-large
number of the under graduates at present connected with the
school, have, with the consent of the faculty, temporarily left
the institution and engaged in teaching, and although they have
not completed the entire course of shdy, their influence in improving the character of the instruction commonly given in the
public schools cannot be disregarded.
/
Present Number of Pupils.
The 27th term, or the first of the fourteenth year of the State
Normal School, commenced on the third Monday in September
last. The number of 'pupils in attendance is 223. They are diaided into four classes : Sub-Junior, Junior, sub-senior and
Senior,-a classification extending the course of study through
two entire years. These classes are further arranged in divisions, for convenience in recitations. The classification of the
pupils will be seen from the following table :

Course of Study.
No change has been made in the course of study. Notwithstanding the questions often raised with reference to its wisdom,
the experience of each successive year has demonstrated it to be;
under existing circumstances, a necessity,
A consistent regard for the views of the friends of the schooi
has led to frequent attempts to effect a satisfactory modification
of the course, but withowt &vealing its possibi
has been
found that to lower the standard of requisitio
nformity
with the actual demands of the common schools geaemlly, as
they now are, would he to overlook the evident facts that the
Normal School must, by supplying a superior grade of scl~olarship for the higher public schools, exert its most direct and powerful influence upon the others, and that for these others there
is provided an under graduate course, snfficiently mo,derate in
its requisitions. The studies of the Junior class are designed
to prepare s higher order sf teachers for the common schools
generally; those who are looking for schools of a still better
grade, have before them the Sub-Senior cou7se;-and for those
who aim at more important positions in the higher schooIs, or
at principalships, the Senior studies are believed to be none too
colnplete or severe. To extend or elevate the course beyond
mllat it now is, would. be to put its completion beyond the time
and means of most of those who now graduate; and more, it
would simply educate the few who could compjete it beyond
eve11 the reach of the higher Sdzool~,on account of the limited
denland for such teachers, and the insuEcient cornpensation
offered them. On the other hand, to m&fY it so as to
make it less severe upon the pupils at any one t h e , mould be
to disregard the fact that it is no part of the true province of
ebe Wormal School to afford a purely academic instruction in the
arts and sciences. This is the proper work of our &any excellent
high schools and academies, and if through their means the pupil has properly prepared himself for the Normal School course,
ets it must be presumed he has, no more'is required of him than.
he ought to perform.
The real difficulty is to be removed only by a more thorough
preparation on the part of the applicants, and by the exercise
of greater care in the selection of appointees. The natural result of this will be to shorten the time requisite to the completion of the course at least one-fourth, and to produce as great a
diminution of its actual severity. It will add correspondingly
to the efficiency of the undergraduate teachers, diminislr the
number of those necessarily absent for a time to teach, and
double the number of graduates. In this direction, then, lies
&e path of:the'most promishg effort. .
'
Sex and N o d e of Appointment,
The committee have in previous reports called attention to t h s
mmparative deficiency in the number of young men attending
the school. A sufficient explanation has been found in the great
inducements which other fields of labor Bold out to young men
and in the extensive and increasfng demand for female services
in the schools of t l ~State.
i
This disproportion continues to exist
as at date of last report. The growing appreciation and th6
more suitable rewards which the labors of young men well qualified for their work, can now secure in the larger schools of our
towns and villages, would, it is thought, if generally known,
cause a change in this respect. The demand for male graduates
has never been more urgent than i t is at present. Situations of
inflnence and profit are always accessible to the best class of
them. The better grade d public sehools require male principals. The quelificatiosas required for such posts are high, but
the inducements are correspondingly great, and few moxe prominent fields are open to those possessed of talents and eharzctes
su& as will ensure success.
-.
The influence of the present mode of appointment is already
ment of Prof.' George W. Plympton, well known from his former connectiun with the school in the same capacity.
At the same time, Mrs. Henrietta B.Hemes resigned t3e position which she had occupied in the school during the previoas
two years, and Miss Mary E. Butler, a g r a d h e of the fourth
term, and for the past eight years principal df the girl's school
at Hudson, was appointed to fill the vacancy. Miss Butler entered upon the duties of her new position at the cornmenoement
of the present term.
T h e following is a full list of the present officers of the sihool-:
DAVID H. COCHRAN, A. M.,
Principal, and Professor of Morill and Intellectual Philosophy.
GEORGE W. PLYMPTON, A. M.,
Professor of Mathematics.
EDWARD 3'. B. ORTON, A. M.,
Professor of the Natural Sciences.

and Jpparatus.
an addition of 348 volumes has beeljl
made during the year. It contains a full supply of all the books
used in the school, and is now in good condition, with the exception of about one hundred volumes;.which are too much worn
to be longer used, and which i t will be necessary to replace &th
others at commencement of next term.
To the rniscellaueons library a few volumes Rave been added
\
,
by contribution; otherwise it remains the same as at the date of
last report.
A11 the apparatus belonging to the school has been inventoried, examined, and found to be in satisfactory order. .
Experimental Jchool.
This school, in which the teaching is entirely performed Ijy
the members of the graduating class, and which is clesig;ed to
furnish them the opportunity for applying, under the direction
of the proper oscer, the inodes of instruction imparted i n the
Normal $chool fully accomplishes the object for which it was
established. There still continues to be a greater number o f ,
applicants than can be accommodated. A tuition fee of $12.50
per term fa- each pupil not only renders the school self-sustaining, but causes it to contribute to the support of the Normal
School. The pupils of this school at present are:

The Normal School o£ the State of New-Pork was established
by an act of the Legislature, in 1844, " for the instruction and
practice of Teachers of Common Schools in the Science of Ed&
cation and the art of Teaching." It was first established for five
years, as an experiment, and went into Aperation on the 18th of
December, 1844, in a 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 ninetyseven. The number in attendance, the second term, was about
two-hundred. The average number is now about two hundred
and fifty.
*
I n 1848, an act was passed by the Legislature, c L for the permanent establishment of the 'State Normal School," appropriating
$15,000 towards the erection of a suitable building. The following 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 Geological 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 believedfrorn 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
number 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 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 &~ointmentsfrom the executive committee, provided any vacancies exist. In such case the pupil will not receive mileage.
Pupils once admitted to the school will be entitled to its
privilege3 until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by
voluntary absence, by improper conduct or by failing to exhibit
good evidences of scholarshi
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 tke school commissioners of the county of
;held at
on the
day of
for the purpose of filling vacancies in the State Normal school,
was duly appoi'nted a pupil of that instittition.
(Signed by the commissioners.)
OF APPLICANTS.
QUALIFICATIONS
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 elass, must sustain a
thorough examination in reading, spelling, the geography of the
western continent, intellectual arithmetic, equal to one-half of
the ordinary treatises, written arithmetic, tl~roughinterest, and
so much of English grammar as to be able to analyze and parse
any ordinary prose sentence.
No. 25.1
31
For admission to the advanced classes, in addition to those
required for entrance examination, d l the studies of the preceding classes must have been accomplished. The time required
to complete the course mill depend on the attainments, habits
and talents of the pupil. I t ought never to exceed four terms,
or two years.
A11 the pupils, on entering the school, are required to sign the
following declaration :
subscribers, hereby DECLARE, that it is our intention to
elves to the business of teachir~gthe schools of the State,
and thcct our sole obj'ect in resorting to this .iVomal Sc!~oolis the
better to prepare ourselves for this important duty.
It is expected of the commissioners that they will select such
pupils as will sacredly fulfil 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
superintendents, by the State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
'
''
The town superintendents are directed to give the most extended notice in their power, of vacancies, and to interest themselves in finding proper pupils to be appointed.
past successful
tness to teach, or from traits of
character, clearly developed, give fair promise of future 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 whioh 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 appointrncnts."
A11 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 three cents a mile on the distance -from his county seat to Albany, to defray traveling expenses. 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.
MILEAGE.The following table will show the sum, a student of each county
will receive at the end of the term as traveling expenses :

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
distances-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'pngils
familiar with the use of instruments, and their applicatiop to the
purposes for which they are designed.
I n the afternoons 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 to those of the profession for which
they are preparing.
