. Present JVicmb~rand CZass$cation of Pupils.
The forty-first term (the first of the twent_v-first year of the
State Normal School,) commenced on the third Nonday of September last, and the number of pupils in attendance is 1'75.
They are divided into four classes, Sub-J.uniors, Juniors, SnbSeniors and Seniors, making a course of studykxtending through
two years.
Tllese classes are again arranged in divisions to suii, the convenience of recitations. The sex and classification will be seen
from the foIlowing table :
-179
-.
Pressing demands are made on the under graduates to teach
in the winter schools, thus making an unusual reduction in the
number of pupils during the present term.
We l ~ a v ehad occasion in former repdrts to notice the decreaoing number of male pupils. The continued demand for young
men in the national service, and the heavy drafts thus made on
the labor and business of the-country, have withdrawn large
numbers from the work of teachicg. The demands for first class
teachers and especially for the,gr&duates of the school, are consiant and pressing, but the committee r e g l ~ to
t be obliged to say
that the increased wages offered for the serviixh of such teachers
are not proportioned to the increased expenses of living or to the
advance of other departments of labor. -Under such a condition
of things, young men of talents and energy cannot be expected
t o remain, i n this comparatively unrernunerated employment.
Women must become the teachers of our public schools, and
when justice is done, by paying them equal wages for equal labor
with men, the services of those who possess the highest talents
and schplardlip will be secured, aild i t may confidently be expected that the cause of education will not suffer.

Experimental and Primary $chools.
T h e schools of practice connected with the institution and
denominated the Experimental a ~ Primary
d
Departments, furnish
ample opportunities for illustrating methods of instruction, and*
testing the ability of pnpils to instruct and manage schools.
A11 pupils of the Xorrual School are required to teach a t least
one month nnder constant arid watchful supervision, in these departments, preyions to th$r graduation. Dlzring this time, they
are wade 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 instrnctions given in the Normal
School, and to report the results to the Principal. These re:
ports, i n connection xyith scholarship, determine the fitness of
candidates for graduation..
The Experimental Department numbers one hundred and five
pupils, between the ages of eight and sixteen. In the lowest
class, the pypils pay a tuiti,on fee of $10 per term. I n the higher
classes, a tuition fee of $12.50 is charged. The income of this
school for the past year has been $2,493.
The Primary Department numbers forty pupils between the
ages of five and riine years. "Each pupil pays a tnition fee of
$10 per term. The amoullt received for tuition in this depa;tment during the past year is $'7'74.21.
The applications for admission far exceed the capacity of these
departments. They are not only self-snstainiog, but coitribute
somewhat to the support of the Normal School ; and experience
proves thew to be indispensible means in the training of teachers.
Libraries and &pparafus.
During the past year two hundred and sixty-seven volumes
Eare been added to the text. book library to replace books too
much morn for longer service. The miscellaneous library remains
as a t the date of last report. All the apparatus belonging to the
school has been examined,and found to be in good condition.
A statement of 2-11 receipts and expenditures for the year ending September 30, 1864, is appended to this report, and the
vouchers for every payaent are in the hands of the committee.
The committee are constrained to call the attention of the Snperintendent and Regents, and through them the Legislature, to
the present inadequate appropriation for the support' of the,
'
.
16 ,.
[ASSEMBLY
school. Twelve thousand dollars has been annnally appropriated
since 1855, and the fixed salaries of the teachers have continued
unchanged since t h a t time. F o r the last two years a small addition has been made t o some of the salaries from the unexpended
balance a t the close 'of those years. A t the close of the present
year, all the means a t the disposal of the committee will be
exhausted in current expenses. I t is scarcely necessary t o allnde
t o the greatly increased cost of all the necessary expenditures,
such as for fuel, repairs, stationery, Books, &c.
It would be manifestly uzjust t o the teachers totask them t o
,perform their duties for the salaries which they receiveds t&
years since. It would subject them to an absolute contribution
t o the public service which they are unable t o make.
The ordinary repairs of the school building have usnally been
made from the annual appropriations for th6 supaportof the school.
Some extraordinary repairs will b g required during the present
year. From all these considerations the committee are of opinion
- t h a t a n extra appropriation ill be required t o meet the expenses
of the preskrlt year, and that the regular appropriarion for the
support of the school should be increased t o sixteen thousand
dollars.

The Normal School of the State of New-York was established
, ~ an
y act of the Legislature, in 1844, " for the instruction and
practice of Teachers of Common Schools in the Science of Education and the a r t of ~eachink." I t was first established for five
years, as an experiment, and went into operation on the 18th of
December, 1844, in a building provided gratuitously by the city
of Albany, and temporarily fitted up for t h a t purpose. The first
term .opened with twenty-nine pupils, and closed with ninety.seven. The nurinber in &tiendance the secdnd term, was about
two hundred. The a v e F g e number is now about t k o hundred
and fifty.
I n 1848, an act was passed by the ~ e ~ i s l a k "for
r e the pernanent establishment of the State Normal ~ c h b o l , '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, conteiniAg 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 qn the 31st of July, 1849.
The design of this'institntion i s t o improve the condition of
, common schools, by providing a class of teachers superior in
professional scholarship and practical skill: to those ordinarily
furnished by iustitutions not having this end specifically in view, '
and i t is confidently believed from experience, t h a t 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 State is entitled to send to the school a
number of pupils (either male or female) equal t o twice the number of members of the assembly in such county. The pupils are
appointed by the assembly district schoal commissioners, a t a

counties, may: upon presenting testimonials of character and
talents, and sustaining the prescribed examination, receive appointments from the executive committee, provide$ any vacancies

I t is expected of the commissioners t.hat they will select such
pupils as will sacredly fulfill their engagements i n this particular,
and they should be made acquainted with its import before t6ey
are appointed.
.
The followine: extracts from a circular issued to the school
commissio~ers,by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, clearly present the qualifications which are deemed esseitial:
".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 n making 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
rnorals and sound health, are regarded &sindispensable. I n your
visitations of the schools, you will sometimes findoteachers who
only need the instruction which this school is designed to give,
t b insure their highest s'uccess and nsefulness; or pupils who
have given proof of good scholarship, which, b y being properly
directed, may be made of great value i n the cause bf education.

with the use of text books without charge. They are, however,
held responsible for their loss =or injury. If they already omll
the books of gie course, they will do well to bring them, together

:
Besides an abundant supply of text books upon all the branches
of the course of study,% well selected miscellaneous library has
been procured, to which all the pupils &ay have access, free of
charge. I n the selection of this library, particuIar 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 on the third Monday in September,
and continue twenty meeks.
The Spring Tern* will begin on the last Monday in February,
and continue twenty weeks.
Prompt Attendance.
As the school will open oil Monday, i t is desirable that pupils
reach Albany on the Friday or Saturday preceding the day of
opening. The faculty can then,zaid them in securing suitable
places for boarding.
' Students arriving on those days will find i t to their ad-vantage
to proceed directly to the school building, situated 011 Lodge
street, near State, retaining their checks until after they have
secured their boarding places, when their baggage will be delivered free of charge.
A s the examination of the pupils preparatory to classijicati?n wilJ
commence on the jrst day of the term, it i s exceediltgly important
that all should repok themselves on the Jirst morning, Those- who
arrive a day after the time, will subject not only the teachers to
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 ai'lowed to eater the school.
i
Price of Bodrd.
he price of board in respectable families varies from $3.50 to
$5, exciusive of washing. Students wishing to board themselves
can procnre ready furnished rooms a t $1. per week. Many pupils,
by so doing, reduce their entire expenses t o about $2.50 per
week.
Pupils of different sexes are not allowed to board in the same
families. Parhicular care is taken to be asiured of the respectability of the families who propose to take boarders, before they
are recommended to the pupils.

t a l School, whose labors are devoted to its management.
There are one hundred and five pupils i n this departmnf,
whose ages range from eight to sixteen years. This school i s
divided, according to the acquirements of t3e papils, into -five
classes ; and to give opportunity for a l t e ~ n n t estudy a ~ recitad
tion, and a more complete class<fication, each class is fufthen:
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, commknce mental ariihmetic and geography. The course of study i~ this department
embraces the subjects usually taught in our public schools.
To give each member of the Senior c1sss.a suitable oppdrtnnity to fix permanently in the mind the most approved methods
of illustrating the subjects here taught, and to afford an opportunity for practice in school manageme~t,,the Senior class is divided
into sections of five pupils eaih, corresponding to 'the number of
classes of the Experimental School. Each section is exercised
i n 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 p&ed in his c h a r 6 - O i entering the department and having his class assigned ,to him, the teacher remains
as " obeerver '' 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

Like the yea1 of mighty thunders,
Con:er the call of Liberty ;
Ilonre ye, from your peaceful slumbe~s,
Rouse ye millions of thefiee!
Sleep no longcr. illy dr>aming,
That your patriot work is done.

And the strifeie but begun.

Like the peal of mighty t h u u d c ~ ~ .
Comes the call of Lbei ty ;
Rouse 1 e, from Tour peaceful slumtci-,
Eouse 1 J e millions of the free 1
I:ouse I to dceds of desthles< glorj ;
\Tin thc patriot-hero's crown,
And Four fame in song and story,
Shall, to c ~ d l e - sprays, go down
Gather from the inountdin val!es,
From the sweeping prairie's breast:
From tho sca girt ialands lalls,
From the rivers of the West ;
Stripling 3 oung, and grands;re hoary,
I n one high heroic tidc,
Round the old flag's starrj- ~ l o l . r ,
Sneep in patiiot pomp and pride.
Lllie a rousei nud angry ocean,
Seating on thc wasted shore,
V i t h a tireless mi& and motion,
On t h e recreant legions pour;
'Jlidst the conflict's roar and rattle,
Place in God, your hope and trust,
And with sturdy blows of battle,
neat dovu treason to thedust.
On till every arm is broken,
Llfted'gaiust our nation's pride,
On till yonder ladiaut token,
Ploats triumphant, far and widc;
IIeaveu will crown your high eudea~or,
To restore 1our countrp's fame;
One again, her stars fore7 cr,
Shall with cloudless s p l e ~ ~ d flame!
or
For our cauw shall he vietorions-;
7Ye can see the rosy light,
Of the d a r ~ nof triumph glorious,
Beaming o'er t h r rlouds of night;
And anidst the blendinas tender,
Of the purple and the gold,
Wc can catch the noontide splendor,
O'cr our laud. in glory rolled.
