THl<: M;rCHlGAN STATE NORMAL SCHOOL was opened in April, 1853, aud has therefore been in operation sixteen ~Teanl. rtR ,graduates number 242, very many ' of whom are now engaged in teaching, and with few exceptions all have ful£lled their pledge to teach in the Schools of the State. Besides those who have completed thejull course and received the diploma and who constitute the above nrimher of graduates, a much largflr number have passed the grade indicated by the Normal Training Certificate; and thus the teachers furnished to the primary Rchopls of the State may be safely estimated, at one hundred (more rather than less) as the average annual outcome of the school. It is the aim of the Board of Education to furnish teachers for each department of the scbool, whose earnestness and success, shall not be excelled by any teaching outside its walls.

I t is the bURiness of the school to aid the cause of Primary Education in every possible way, to submit the variouR methods of elementary instruction to the test of actual trial in the experimental department; and finally it is the earnest endeavor of the school . through its graduates and pupils employed in the Schools of the State, not only by success in teaching individual schools, but also by imparting the maxims and methods of teaching learned here, to those who in their turn shall be educators also, to meet the natural expectation of the State of a reasonable return for all its anxiety and expense.

PROFESSION AL INSTRUCTION.

PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION given in the Normal School, consists of:

Methods of teaching Spelling alid Reading; methods of teaching Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar, and generally whatever subject is taught in Classes is given with reference to the best methods of teaching it, together with the pedagogic axioms applicable to each step, by which to test the correctness of the methods, as, e. g:

The Educational principle relating-To a Thorougb knowledge of the Subject;

" presentation in Logical order;

" the Pupils degree of Maturity;

Sclf Activity;

Progress from the Known to the Unknown;

" Easy to the Difficult;

" Simple to tbe Complex;

" Single. to tbe Combined;

" Concrete to the Abstract;

" Empirical to tbe Rational, &c. &c.;

Differing in this respect from mere AOADEMIO INSTRUOTION, the chief aim of which is attainment of KNOWLEDGE OONCERNING THE SUBJEOT OF STUDY only with an incidental, often uDcertain aim at what is called "Mental discipline." We cannot well dispense with a curriculum baving the FORM of the" Academic." Where is there a Normal School without it? . In tbis Country? In Europe? In Eutopia I Tbe Ideal may grasp it. It is not YET in the reach of tbe practical. Consider tbe material out of wbicb rrcachcJ's are to be developed, and is it not evident to the judicious that each step of progress t..hrough any branch of study IS an occasion for IMPRESSING a method or applying a pedagogic axiom, not so surely within tbe attainment of tbe pupil, wben the occasion ie hut a memory? Our method enables us to begin tbis kind of prqfessional training with our EARLIEST classes and continue it through the entire course.


SPECIAL PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION.

FOR convenience, we designate our ciasRes by letters: (A. and B.) are Prepll111.tory. The <C.) class pursue studies belonging to the First Year. The (D.) cla.s those of the Second Year. The(E.) thoseof the Third Year, and the (F.) those of the Fourth Year.

SPECIAL Training begins with the (C.) clasB, second t.erm, according to the following outl ine:

(A.) ELEMENTS PBYSIOAL EDUOATION.-Value of the Body - importance of its propel' development ~l.nU training. The bones-muscles-nervous sYFltcm-DigC'stive appal"atus- Oirculatory apparatus-Apparatus for Breathing-The Skin and its append· ages.

The uses of each of these diviRions of the body, and the means necessary to their propel' development and right action-importance of good ))abits in respect to position in sitting, standing, &c.- in respect to food, exercise, rest and sleep. Bodily health .:md vigor necessary to the best and higbest mental activity. and to success in the work of teaching.

INTELLECTUAL EnucATION.-General divisions and definitions of the Facnlt.ieFl of the mind.

A brief discllssion of Lhe Order in which the£le faculties arc developed. The means of development and training. The three natural diVIsions, or periods, of intellectual development and growth. Ohildhood, Youth and Early Maturity,-the powers which are especia lly developed

in each period. THE PEROEPTIVE POWERS-how ber;t developed and trained-the nature and purpose

of Elementary or Primary instruction- Oral Teaching or Lessons by means of objectsDesigns-MatLer - Preparalion-Methods of Teaching.

IIi the (D.) Class instruction will be continued in Methods of Training the perceptive powers, by-

COLORS and Forms of Natural Objects-Sounds-EI"mentary- of Human Voice-of Animals-of Birds-Moditic.: .... tion of, by distance, &C.

By referl'jng to the Course of Study in the Preparatory department, the usual list of subjects for training the observing faculties may be found.

Then follow Lectures on Organization of District Schools, Principles of Classifieation, DiSCipline, Management - Government, Attendance. Truantism, Tal'dint:sg - Incite~

ments to Study, Scbool Room Duties-Relation of Teacher to Pupil-to P"rents--to SOOIETY, MORAL AND RELIGIOUS trammg in Schools.

In both the (D.) and (E.) Olasses work m the Experimental School is a.signed to pu· pils, to be done under the supervision of experienced teachers, and FlO arranged that Ape·

cial practice may be given in each branch of ~tndy. Careful observation of the pupil's practice is made and his APTNESS in teaching, hiFl

INTEREST therein and EARNESTNESS and SUCCESS are made the criteria on whieh to found special recommendatIOns for future employment.

According to tbe time which may be spared for the purpose, to the (E.) or (F.) claoses, Lectures on the Schpol Laws of Michigan and upon the History of Edncation, 01 ientnl , Classjc and Modern, will be given.

-------------------------


In the (F.) class, [Seniorlr beside the Text·Book instruction in Intellectual Philosophy, Lectures are given on the Philosophy of Education, with mainly the following range of topics: Education, What: of Man - Physical importance of a well developed body, Mental-Philosophy of Education based upon a knowledge of Psychological powers, analysis of sucb powers; Minute and careful analysis of the Mental acts concerned in each ; The precise definition of each power based on such analysis; The order of development and growth of each group of facnlties. Transition-Ont of the law of development and growth, are evolved certain Pedagogic or Educational axioms or principles useful as tests of all methods of instruction-to determine the selection of matenals therefor and the proper presentation of the same; Examination of the f:.tudies and' subjects employed in school education-The pecuhar CULTURE secured by each. How only symmetrical culture can be reacbed) grouping of studies for each period of mental and physical growth.

• GEOGRAPHY.

INSTRUCTION in this subject occupies two Terms. Elementary Geography is taught in the Preparatory Class, and comprises first lessons on the United States by river basins, commencing with the St. Lawrence system, followed by the Atlantic Ooast sys-. tern, the Gulf system, the Pacific system, the Inland system. The outlines of General Geograpbyarc next taught, embracing position, form, size, motions and lines of the

8


earth with elementary definitions of the forms at contour and relief. This is followed by a study of thc Contineuts aud Oceans. Thc study of thc Continents includes their position, boundaries, form and area, capes, peninsulas, islands, Fmrface (plateaus, mountains, low-lands), climate, gelms of vegetation, distribution of a.nimals, races of men, political divisions.

Frequent comparisons arc made between the different count,rlea consideroo. Instruction is given orally, tbe only text-book heinl( an atla._

Tbe Advanced, or "C_" Class is occupied with a thorough study of General Comparative Geography as established by Carl Ritter, followed by as full an account of the comparative geogl'aphy of the continents and oceans, as time allows. Pupils make use of a roxt--book which is supplemented by oral in~truction. The cla.ss first receives a course of oral lessons upon tho Earth as a planet il1 which arc discUS8Cd its oligin, position in space, form, size, motions, modes of determining position upon its surface. 'The text-book is then taken up at the section ou Meteorology, followed b~ ami lessons on the nature of the earth?s interior. The concluding topic, the surface of the earth is taught, partly from the text, partly orally. The tOpiCR cO:1sidered are the structure of the surface including forms of contour and I"stief and the modes of representing them, the grouping of the continents and their comparative contour and relief; Hydrog'rnphy and climate from the text-book, diRtriblltion of organic life and action of man upon the earth_

This class a.lso receives a course of lessons on Methods of Teaching Geography, in which are discussed Geography as. a SCience; Olussificatiol1d of Geograpby; Natural order of topics; Rules of Method; Application to the differcnt grades of schools; Order of topics and modes of presentation appropriate to each. Primary Instruction in Geography is considercd under the hcads propcr, point of deparlur~ the home, reasons for this, natural features to be studied fu'st, the river basin a natural geographical unit, order of lessons and modes of presentation. The prmciples which should govern advanced teaching are discussed and reference made the methods of the elementa.ry and "C. n classes as models of the court;e to be pursued.

DRAWING.

One term is given to the study of this subject_ The limited time doe. not permit the acquisition of great manual foIkill in the art, but pupils receive a thorough b"'ounding in principles. Re:tl objects and not copies fOl1n the subjects of the lessoml., and the laws of Perspective are learned by observation. The lessons include drawing the geometri· cal AoUds and objects of similar forIll, construction of shadows and reflections, leaf and dower forllls and the elements of Linear Perspective. In addition a drill in printing on the blackboard and in drawing lines, angles and plane tigureii, it; given .

LATIN AND GREEK.

THE claims of the.e studies in a liberal system of edncatlon have been recognized in our St.lte, and ample provision has been made for them in our Public Schools. Therefore an institution for the education of the teachers of the State, cannot onrlook the demands made to supply this department. Hitherto the study of these languages in the Normall:lchool, ha. been for the most part optional, and a very limited amonnt of time devoted to them. It Is now proposed to require from candidates for onr highest Di· ploma, such a knowledge of Latin and Greek as will qualify them to meet the wants of our Union Schools. It i. the purpose of this department to impart a thorongh training in the rudiments and principles of tbese languages, and Instruction as to the best method of teaching them. With nndergraduates we shall attempt nothing more. Opportunity will. however, be afforded those desiring to pursue a higher course with ns.

THE FIRST YEAR in Latin is devoted chieffy to Etymology; developing only so mnch of syntax as is necessary to suecess in this. As a text-book we consider Harkness' Arnold's First Latin Book best suited to this work. During the last part of this year se· lections are read from the Latin Reader.

THE SEOOND YEAR is devoted to a careful study of syntax. Selections are read from Oresar's Commentaries and Cicero's Orations.


'THE THmD YBAI{ is devoted to a morc critical study ot Syntax. Selections from Cicoro are still read during onc·third of tWs year. The remainder of the year is spellt in Virgil's .JEneid with the Rtudy of Prosody~ and of the difterencc8 in constrnction and arrangement, between Pro:'loc :lnd .Poetry. Harkness' Introduction to Latin Oomposition accompanies the last two years of the Latin courso. '1'110 cow'se in Greek cmbl'accfoI two yearf-!. The same method is pursued jn this as 11"1 the first two years of the Latin course.

• MA THEMA TIC S.

ARITHlfETIO.--It will be oll!;crved that to be admitted to the Normal COUJ"RC propm', the student is required to have completed what is usually termed Practic.:ll ArithmetlC, and to be prepared to; commence the study of Algebra. Provision is however made, by means of the Preparatory Course, for those who may fail to pass the prt:8cl'ibed exam~ illation in this departmcnt of Arithmetic.

The Training work embracct! a full and carefully ~\1'I'anged cour8C in methods ot-Pri. mary Teaching of Number, in which the theory presented by the lectures is constantly supplemented by the ,ut as illustrated by the actual teaching, before the class, of pupils of the propel' grade from the Experimental School.

T'he study of Higher .Arithmetic is arl'anged for the second term of each year, the class being composed of those who have sustained themselves in 1l.1l examination in Elementary Algebra. The work in this branch is the appHcation of Algebra to the devel· opmcnt of the Philosophy of Arithmetic, together with reviews, and extended claborn· tions of the Methods of -teaching Arithmetic in its different departments.

ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA.- This branch is studied during the first term of eacb year, and embraces, in connection with training in Methods, what is usually preRented by our text·books as far as the" Progressions."

GEOMETRY.- To this Fltudy tbe student regularly comes from his examination in Higher Arithmetic. The work is that of our common text·books on Plane, Solid, and Spherical Geometry, const.ant reference, however, being had to the development of the power of original demonAtration, and investigation beyond the limits of the author.

HIGHER ALGEBRA.-This branch, following Geometry during the last term of each yem', is commenced with Lhe subject of "Series," and pursued through the" Theory of Equations," as presented by our COlUmon complete treatises upon this science. TothiFl is added a full analysis of the various topica of the subject, with careful C']ncidation of Methods of Teaching.

TRIGONOMETRy- In its two departments, fo1lows Higher Algebra, during the first half term of the year, and is introductory to a short course in the bigher applicntionFl of Algebra to Geometry and Mechanics.

NATURAL SCIENCE.

CHEMISTRy.-In addition to the ordinal'yinstrllction in connection with ,the text·book, demonstrative experiments are made before the class during their ADVANOE, with sllch instruction in preparing experiments and in manipulation as will be of service to them in teaching. Dut'lIlg their RBVIBW, a set of simple salts, solullie in water, is furn ished them, together with the reagents necessary for analysIs, and eacb member of the class is required to dcteqnine and prove what is the base and what is the acid i'orming eacb salt, stating the colo 1', form and appearance of precipitates, &.c.

NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.-The subject will be taugbt topically in all it. department., and Lhe demonstrative experiments will be made as full as time, means, and the nature of each topic will allow.

Pains will be taken to show how many of the important and leading principles of the science can be taught and illustrated by means of simple and inexpensive apparatua

GEOLOGY AND BOTANY. Tbe design is to teach those branches in such a manner as to give, not merely aknowl

edge of the sllbjecR, but also to show how ibey may be made of value to the teachers in tho various grades of schools in our State-and to show how and what to obReI've in the mineral and vegetable worlds.

'raE BOARD OF EDUCATION, in establishing the Experimental Department, had in view, two prominent o~jects, viz: to give to advanced classes in the Normal School, practice in actual teaching and to furnish a course of study preparatory to the regular course. 'ro attain the first o~i ect, students in the D., E. and F. Classes are req uired to take charge, during an entire term, of one daily recitation, and the hours of recitation and leisnre are are so arranged as to give to each pupil opportunity for practice in teaching each branch of study. All thi::; is done under careful supervision and a system of weekly reports. It is fimnd that teachers who have been disciplined by several terms training in the Norma} Department, are well qualified for the work of instruction in the Model School. Great care is taken to have each class thoroughly taught, whether by pupil teachers or by members of the Normal Faculty, or by those ~pecially employed for that purpose.

I t 'will be readily seen that pupils who expect to enter the Normal School, will enjoy an obvious advantage over others, in pursuing their preparatory studies in this department, where instruction is made entirely harmonious with that received in the regular Norma} Coun;e.
