Present Xumber and Classijcation of Pupils.
The thirty-ninth term (the first of the nineteenth year of the
State Normal School,) commenced on the third Monday of September, and the number of pupils in attendance i s 219. They
are divided into four classes, Sub-Juniors, Juniors, Sub-senior and
Seniors, thus making a course of study extending through two
years. These classes are again arranged in divisions to suit the
convenience of recitations. The sex and clBssification of pdpifs
will, be seen from the following table :

The average age of these pupils is twenty-two years, and their
average time employed in teaching previous to entering the Normal School is eight months.
Notwithstanding the unqsual demand for undergraduate pupils
to teach i n winter schools, the present condition of the school is
in the highest degree satisfactory. The School Commissioners,
in general, have faithfully performed their duty by sending such
representatives as give good promise of becoming thorough and
efficient teachers; and, a t the present time, all of the counties
of the State are' represented with the exceptions of Cortland,
Hamilton and Ric3mond.
I n a former report, me had occasion to notice the effect of the
war in reducing the number of male pupils in the school. The
demand for young men in the national service still continues,
and the resources of the school are, on this acoount, diminished ;'
yet i t is gratifying to know that, during the past year, the proportion of male pupils has increased. This increase, however,
has not kept pace with the demand for male teachers in our public schools. At no previous time in the history of the institution has so large a number of applications for teachers been received from the various sections of the State. Indeed, i t has been
found impossible to supply the demand, partly, because so many
experienced teachers have engaged in other vocations offering
higher pecuniary inducements ; and partly, because those out of
employ could not be obtained a t salaries named in the applica-
'
,
,
tions. I t is to be regretted t h a t with the increased demand for
teachers, there has not been a corresponding advance in salary ;
for while i n almost every othei. department of labor compensation has been increased so as in a degree t o equalize the burdens
of the tiines, teachers' salaries have remained stationary. The
effect of this, when we consider the vast increase of the expenses
of living, has been t o reduce salaries far below what they were ;
and as a general reduction of compensation i n any department
has the effect to deplete i t of its most faithfial and skilful laborers, so here, hundreds of the better class of teachers have left
the profession, and our schools are in -great danger of. passing
into the hands of those whose only qualification is their inability
t o support themselves in other professions.
T h e compensation formerly paid to good male teachyrs, will
now command only the services of well qualified females ; and
to'those who would not see the character of their schools deienerate, i t remains either t o advance the salaries of male teachers,
or secure the services of good females a t present rates. I n a
great majority of cases there should be no hesitation in adopting the latter alternative ; indeed, it can hardly be questioned that such a revolution as this involves, i s just the reform
needed in our public~sehools t o bring the young beneath t h e
chastening and elevating influeyes which woman alone can exert. But neither should there be hesitation in regard t o .those
positions, which must always exist, where the more vigorous energy of man' is required. The interests of education are of too
sacred a character to be entrusted t o unqualified persons, and i t
is folly to expect that educated men will devote themselves t o
teaching when the pecuniary inducements d o not i n a measure
keep pace with the increased burdens of the citizen, or when
they fall below those held ~ u itn every other department of
labor.
Faculty.
The foIlowing changes have occurred i n the Faculty :
At, the close of the 36th term, Mr. Ralph S. Goodmiu resigned
&is position in the school as teacher of Reading and Penmanship,
t o accept a position in the Polytechnic and Collegiate Institute,
i n Brooklyn. His duties were assigned t o other teachers, and
no new appointment was then deemed necessary.
Professor Rodney G. Eimball, whose resignation t o enter the
army, was noticed i n the last report, having been honorably dis-
I

charged from service in April last, on account of disability, resumed his former position a t the commencement of the thirtyninth term. The committee cheerfully bear testimony t o the
ability of Prof. Charles D. Lawrence, who was employed in the
school dni-ing the absence of the professor of Mathematics.
- At the commencement of the present term, Mr. James M. North,
teacher of Voca! Music, resigned his position to accept a more
lucrative one in the city of St. Louis, and the vacancy wasfilled
by the appointment of James E. Perring, a well known vocalist
and teacher.
The followiug is a full list of the present o3icers of the school.

zmental a?zd Primary Schools.
The schools of practice connected with the institution and
denominated the Experimental and Primary Departments, furnish
ample opportunities for illustrating- methods of instruction, and
of testing the ability of pupils to instruct and manage schools.
A11 pupils of the Normal school are required to teach a t least
one month under constant and watchful supervision, in these de-
partments, previous to their graduation. During this time, they
are made responsible, as far as practicable, for the advancement
of their pupils and the good order of the schools. The Superintendents are also required to criticise their work, correct -whatever is inconsistent with the instructions given in the Normal
School, and to report the results to the Principal. These reports, in connection with scholarship, determine the fitness of
candidates for graduation.
The Experimental Department numbers 105 pupils, between
the ages of nine and sixteen. I n the lowest class, the pupils pay
a tuition fee of $10 per term. In the higher classes, a tuition
fee of $12.50 is charged. The income of this school for the past
year, has been $2,536.80.
The Prixary Department numbers forty pupils between the
ages of five and nine years. Each pupil pays a h i t i o n fee of
$10 per term. The amount received for tuition in this depart/
ment during the.past year is $712.
The applications for admission far exceed the capacity of
these departments. They are not only self-sustaining, but contribute somewhat t o the support of the Normal School ; and experience proves them to be indispensible means in the training
of teachers.
Libra~iesand ,4ppar~tus.
During the past pear 267 volumes have been added to the text
book library to replace books too muoh worn for longer service.
The miscellaneous library remains as a t the date of last report.
A11 the apparatus belonging to the school has bee_n examined and
found to be in good condition.
A statement of all receipts and expendituresfor the year ending September 30, 1863, i s appended to this report, and the
vouchers for every payment are in the hands of the committee.

CIRCULAR.
The Normal School of the State of New Y o d was established
by an act of the Legislature, in 1844, for the instruction and
practice of Teachers of Common Schools in the Science of Education and the art of Teaching." I t was first established for five
years, as an experiment, and went into operation on the 18th of
December, 1844, i n 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 6ft.y.
I n 1848, an act was passed by the Legislature " for the permanent establishment of the State Normal School," appropriating
he follow$15,000 towards the erection of a suitable building.
ing year an additional appropriation of $10,000 was made for its
completion. A large and commodious edifice, co~taininga dwelling house. for the Pxiucipal, 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 i t is confidently believed from experience, that the conditions
of admission, the course of study adopted, and the class drill
pursued, are well calculated to secure this object.
Each county in the s t a t e is entitled to send t o the school a
number of pupils (either male or female) equal t o twice the number of members of the Assembly in such counky. The pnpils are
appointed by the Assembly district school commissioners, a t a
/

[SEN
/
meeting called by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, on
the first Mondays of February and September in each year. A
list of the vacancies a t the close of each term is forwarded t o
the commissioners.
Persons failing to receive appointments in their respective
counties, may, upon presenting testimonials of character and
talents, and &staining the prekcribed examination, receive appointments from the executive committee, provided any vacancies
exist. I n such case the pupilmili not receive mileage.
Pupils once admitted to the school will be entitled to its privileges until they graduate, unless they forfeit that right by voluntary absence, by improper conduct, or by failing to exhibit evidence's of scholarship and fair -promise of success as teachers.
The following is the form of certificate of appointment which
is to be given by the comlnissioners t o each pupil appointed:
At a lvreeting of the school commissioners of the county of
, held a t
on the
day of
for the purpose of filling vacancies in the State Normal School, .
was duly appointed a pupil of that institution.
(Signed by the Commissioners.)
Qual$cations of Applicants.
Females sent to the school must be a t least sixteen years of
age, and males eighteen, and in all cases decided maturity of
mind is indispensable.
Candidates for admission to the lowest class must sustain a
thorough examination in reading, spelling, the geography of the
western continent, intellectual arithmetic (equal to oke-half of
the ordinary treatises), written arithmetic (through interest),
and so much of English grammar as to be able t~ analyze and
parse any ordinary prose sentence.
For admission to the advanced classes, in addition to those
required for entrance examination, all the studies of the preceding
classes must have been accomplished. The time required to complete the course will depend on the attainments, habits and talents
of the pupil. It o,ught never to exceed four terms, or two years.
A11 the pupils, on entering the school, are required to sign the
following declaration :
We, the subscribers, hereby DECLARE, that i t is our intention to
devote ourselves to the business of teaching the schools of the State,
and thaf o u r sole object in resorting to this Normal School is the
better to prepare oursehes for this important d'b~ty.
No. 20.1
'It is expected of the commissioners that they will select such
pupils as will sacredly fulfill 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 school
commissioners, by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, clearly present the qualifications which are deemed essential :
" The school commissioners are directed to give the most extended notice in their power of vacancies, and to interest themselves in finding proper pupils to be appointed.
' & I nmaking the selections, those who from past successful
experience have proved their aptness 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. I n your
visitations of the schools you will sometimes find teachers who
only need th8 instruction which this school is designed to give,
to insure 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 t o seek these
appointments."
,
Privileges of the Pupils.
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 the amount designated in the foilowing table, to defray traveling expenses from his county seat to
Albany. 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 aid at the close of each term.

by the museum of the Medical College and the State collections
which are open a t all hours for visitors.
Library.
Besides an abundant supply of text books npon all the branches
of the course of study, a well selected miscellaneous library has
been procured, to which all the pupils may have access, free of
charge. I n the selection of this library, particdar care has been
exercised to procure most of the recent works upon education, as
well as valuable standard works upon the natural sciences, history, mathematics, &c. The State Library is also freely accessible to all.
Terms and Vacations.
The Fall Term will begin Qn the third Honday in September,
and continue twenty weeks.
The Spring Term will begin on the last Honday in February,and continue twenty weeks.

Prompt Attendance.
AS the school will open on Monday, i t is desirable that pupils
reach Albany on the Friday or Saturday preceding the day of
opening. The faculty can then aid them in securing suitable
places for boarding.'
studen& arriviag on those days will find i t to their advantage
to proceed directly to the school building, situated on Lodge
street, near State, retaining their checks until after they have
secured their boarding places, when their baggage will be delivered free of charge.
As the examinution of t\he pupils
t o class$cation wilJ
commence on the$& day of the term, it is exceedingly important
that all should report themselves on the$& morning. .Those who
arrive a day after the time, will subject not only the teachers t o
much trouble, but themselves also to the rigors of a private examination. After the$rst week, no student, except for the strongest
reasons, will be allowed to enter the school.
I
Price of Board.
The price of board in respectable families varies from $3.00 to
$4, exclusive of washing. Students wishing to board themselves
can procure ready furnished rooms a t six shillings per week.
Many pupils, by so doing, reduce their entire exp'enses to about
$2 per week.

Pupils of different sexes are not allowed t o board in the same
families. Particular care is taken to be assured of the respectability of the families who propose to take boarders, before they
are recommended to the
Course of Study and Text Books.
The following is the course of study prescribed for the school,

It is not claimed that in order to meet the present demands of
ordinary district schools, a student must complete the entire
course of study above specified. The Normal School claims t o
exert its most direct and powerful influence by supplying a superior grade of scholarship for the higher public schools in its
graduates, but a t the same time to supply the wants of a lowe;
grade of schools, i t provides an undergraduate course sufficiently
moderate in its requisitions.
The studies of the J u n i ~ class
r
are designed to prepare a higher
order of teachers for the common schools generally; those .who
are looking for schools of a still better grade, have before them
the Sub-senior course ; and for thosetwho aim a t more important
positions in the higher schools, or a t principalships, the Senior.
studies are believed to be none too complete or severe. To extend or elevate the course beyond what i t 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 complete i t beyond even the reach of the higher schools, on
account of the limited demand for such teachers, and the insufficient compensation offered them. On the other hand, to modify
i t so as t o make i t less severe upon the pu$ls a t any one time,
would be to disregard the fact that i t is no part of the true province of the Normal School to afford a purely academic instruc-

many excellent high schools and acadehies, and if through their
means the pupil has properly prepared himself for the Normal
School course, as i t must be presumed he has, no more is required
of him than he ought to perform.
Experimental School.
The object of this department is to give the pupils of the
Senior class an opportunity to apply in practice, under the direction of an experienced teacher, the methods of instruction and
discipline inculcated in the Normal School. It has one permanent teacher, denominated the Superintendent of the Experimen-tal School, whose labors are devoted to its management.
There are one hundred and five pupils in this department,
whose ages range from eight to sixteen years. These pupils are
divided, according to their requirements, into five clisses ; and
to give opportunity for alternate study and recitation, and a
more complete classification, each class is further divided into
two divisions, making in all ten distinct grades. The pupils of
the lowest class, having learned a little of reading and spelling
before entering the school, commence mental arithmetic and
geography. The course of study in this department embraces
the subjects usrrally taught in our public schools.
To give each member of the Senior class a suitable opportunity to 6x permanently in the mind the most approved melhods
of illustrating the subjects he're taught, and to afford an opportunity for practice in school management, the Senior class is divided
into sections of five pu$s each, corresponding to the number of
classes of the ~ $ ~ e r i m e n t School.
al
Each section is exercised
in this school during a t least two weeks-; and each teacher is
expected to exert all his tact, energy and skill to advance the
pupils of the class laced in his charge. On entering th; department and having his class assigned to him, the teacher remains
as " observer" two or three days before the class is fully committed to his charge. During this time he is to learn the condition of his class and his duty, and prepare himself as well as he
is able to discharge that duty. He is furnished with written instructions, embodying as far as possible, general principles in
teaching applied to his specific duties, which instructions he is
t o study carefully, and apply in practice. The Superintendent
meets these teachers every morning (half an hour) before school,

t o remove any difficulties they may have found in the discharge
of their duties, and to criticise fully and freely their bearing as
teachers, their manner of teaching, and the matter taught. Each
teacher, upon leaving this department, makes a report of the condition of his class,.and a concise statement of the methods he
would employ in teaching the various subjects. These reports
are preserved a d bound for future reference as to the success of
the teachers respectively in this school. The length of time each
teacher is employed in the Experimental Department is from two
to three weeks, depending upon the number of the Senior class.
Primary School.
The object of this school is to illustrate the organization, management
and instruction of primary
schools. I t is composed of

least one week of the Sub-senior term in this department, and
they are engaged for six weeks of the Senior term, one hour each
ssion and practice of methods of primary teaching.
Exumina fions.
aminations a t the close of each term are, in part, written, and in part oral. The questions for the written examinations are prepared under the direction o f the executive committee,
and 3 r d presented to the teachers as well us. pupils a t the time of
their examinations. The answers to the questions of each paper
are written out a t one sitting, the pupil having no opportunity
to obtain assistance from text books or fellow pupils. The oral

And girt m t h peace, no storm can qaell.

O'er a dark world, i n beauty shine,
Beaming resplendent thro' t h e nisht,
To point thc vand'rrr's path aright,

Llkc a high star, so let t h y power
Rind hosts around t h y ceutral heart ;
Steadfast, thro' sunshine and thro' shower,
Steadfast, beyond t h y life's brief hour,
Bright be t h y sway till lice depart.
Liae a high star, so let t h y course
