Description:Excerpt from American Normal Schools: Their Theory, Their Workings, and Their Results, as Embodied in the Proceedings of the First Annual Convention of the American Normal School Association, Held at Trenton, New Jersey, August 19 and 20, 1859 May I be permitted to add an extract from the Semi-annual Report made July 22, 1858, to the Board of Visitors for the State Normal School at Salem, Mass. In our daily exercises, we have endeavored to keep constantly in View the peculiar object of the Normal School, as presented in the Address delivered at the inauguration of our institution. I have regretted that those peculiar features of our school, having reference to this object, which are so prominent in our daily work, should have so little prominence in our public examina tions. It seems to me worthy of consideration, whether it would not be practicable so to modify our examinations that they should more fully repro sent the distinctive character of the school, and show more adequately not only what progress its pupils have made in the different branches of science, what general facility of communication they have acquired, and what Opin ions they have formed respecting education and school methods, but also the still more direct practical preparation which they have made toward their specific work of teaching others what they themselves know. If the time which I may be permitted to occupy in this crowded afternoon were not restricted to such narrow limits, I should be tempted to go beyond this mere sugges tion, and to endeavor to show, though certainly, Gentlemen of the Board, not for your sakes, how very peculiar is the appropriate work of the Normal School, and what advantages it possesses for the accomplishment of this, its own work, above other institutions, however high may be their reputation and great their excellence in their own wide spheres, however liberally they may be endowed or supported, and however able and eminent may be their teachers.
