State Normal School.

At the close of the public exercises of the State Normal School, as Prof. Jones was about to dismiss the audience, a visitor suggested that it was due to the interests of education in the State, and the interests of this institution, that some expression should be given of the satisfaction with which the exercises of the day have been witnessed. This suggestion met with the hearty and unanimous approval of the visitors present. Alex. M. Gow, Superintendent of the schools of Evansville, Rev. E.F.Howe and Rev. 8. M. Stimson were appointed a committee to carry out the suggestion.

The following is a report of the Committee: To the citizens of Indiana.

Wo, the undersigned, having been appointed a committee to communicate to you the impression made upin our minds during the examination of the pupils of the model and Slate Normal School, respectfully report. 1. That wo have witnessed with great satisfaction the proficiency of the pupils of the model school in reading, spelling, geography, arithmetic and music that this proficieny is exhibited by the freedom ofexpression upon these subjects, showing that they were not learned simply as efforts of memory, but were the results of intelligent thought. 2. That we are fully impressed with the idea that such development of the minds of children, their quicknessof perception, their accuracy in reasoning, their rapidity, their precision and elegance of language are not the result of accident, but tl^e product of close, careful, philosophical instruction. 3. That we are satisfied, more fully than «ver, that such instruction can only be imparted by the thoroughly and profession illy educated teacher. 4. We believe the shortest, cheapest and best moans to secure the education of professional teachers, as has been demonstrated by the experience of more than a century in Europe, and this country, is the Normal School, where not only the subjects of science are taught, but,also the best methods of organizing, governing and teaching schools, are imparted. 5. That the discussion in the Normal School, by tho representatives of England, France and Spain of the rights of territory in North America, exhibited a novel method of teaching History, and evinced, on tho part ot the pupils, a clearness of comprehension, a thoroughness of investigation, and an accuracy of expression which wore creditable alike to themselves and their instructors. 6. That we are satified that time is one of the essential element of success in the establishment of any institution of learning, but »rticularly of a Normal School, and although tho number of pupils at presont in this school is small compared, with tho great number to be educated, yet there is

110

cause of fear that a school,

based on the principles of instruction that wo have witnessed to-day, will not prove a success. Wo fool that its success is already assured. 7. That we recommond 3roung ladles and gentlemen who aro desirous of becoming teachers, and who aro willing to work, to avail themselves of the freo tuition and admirable instruction of this institution. 8. That, in obedience to tho request of tho audience, wo respectfully request tho editors of the State to publish this report and the essay of Miss Okey, one of the students, upon Normal Scnools—that the teachers and friends of education may be acquainted with the history and character of Normal Schools in general, and the special claims of this institution.

INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

History of the Normal System.

ITS IXFUJEXfE ANI) BE1KIXO IPOS KDKAlleX.

An Essay by SIINM Mary Okey, of Terre Haute.

Tho name Normal, which is derived from a Latin word signifying a rule, standard, or law, was first applied in Austria. Schools of this character were originally denominated Normal Schools, either because they were designed to serve in them.-elves as the model or rule by which other schools should be organized and instructed, or because their object was to teach the rules and methods of instructing and governing schools. The name was afterwards adopted in America, being already in use to designate similar institutions in Europe, and because it applies exclusively to schools of this kind and prevents their being confounded with any others.

The first, institution worthy- of the name of a Normal tScUool was established in Stettin, Pr .ssia, in 1735, more than one bundled years before the lirst one wis established in America. Frederic tlij Great, established a second one at Berlin in 1748. Others soon fallowed in various parts of Germany, and at the beginning of the present century, they had been introduced into nearly every German State, and, in all but three instances, were supported wholly, or in part, by the government. Since that time, they have been rapidly multiplying in mumber, and advancing in the requisites for admission. Although the course of instruction is usually extended to three or four years, yet in nearly all the German States, the great majority, and in Prussia more than ninety-three per cent, of the teachers are gruduates of the Normal Schools. Here education fir-.t assumed the form and name of a science, and at the present time, Germany possesses the most perfect and successful educational organization to be found in any country. One of the cardinal principles of the system, and one to which much of the success is universally attributed, is the recognition of the true dignity and importance of the office of the teacher in a system of public instruction.

The first Normal School in France was established at Strasbourg, in 1810. This school exerted a powerful influence upon the cause of popular education in that section of France, and in a report upon education, made to the King in 1833, it was stated that it was far in advauce of any other section of the kingdom, both in the number and superiority of its schools, and it was the general conviction of the people that this superiority was mainly due to the existence of this Normal School.

Later, Normal Schools were established in all the principal countries of Europe. There are now more than one hundred and fifty in Prussia, ninety in France, forty iu England, thirteen in Switzerland, and a proportional number elsewhere.

To Professor Dennison Olmstead, of Connecticut, belongs the credit of first publicly advocating in America, the necessity of a Seminary for the training of teachers, in an oration delivered in 1816. In 1825 there were almost simultaneous, though unconnected efforts, made by several prominent friends of education in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania towards the establishment of seminaries for the education of competent teachers. From

TERRE HAUTE

this time, the importance of the professional education of teachers, and of institutions specially devoted to this object, began to attract the attention of .statesmen and educators and at the close of a quarter of a century, the idea was practically realized in each of the four States in which the enterprise was first proposed. Although first proposed in Connecticut, Massachusetts acted with greater promptness and liberality, and through the munificence of one of her citizens, Edmund Dwight, of Boston, who gave ten thousand dollars, upon condition of the appropriation of the same amount by the State, the first Normal School in America, was opened at Lexington, July 3, 1839, with three pupils. A second was opened at Barre in September of the same year, and a third at Bridgewater, the following year. Four are now supported by the State of Massachusetts.

Horace Mann once said of Normal Schools, that they had to come to prepare away for themselves, and to show by practical demonstration what they were able to accomplish. Like Christianity itself, had they waited 'till the world at large called for them, or was ready to receive them, they would never have come. Notwithstanding the somewhat inauspicious beginning iu this country, the many prejudices to be overcome, and the many obstacles to be surmounted, their practical utility was 8oou demonstrated, and there has been a constant moving onward and upward, to higher degrees of prosperity and usefulness.

In a little more than thirty years, eighty-one have been established in the United States. There is now a chain of Normal Schools from Maine to Florida, from the Atlaatic to the Pacific. Every State in the Union, except North Carolina, has contributed one or more links to tiiischain. In all .but six of the States, these are government institutions. Georgia and Iowa have Normal departments iu the State Universities in all other cases those maintained by the State are separate institutions. Experiments, both in thiscountry, and in Europe, show that attempts to engraft Normal departments upon existing schools have proved failures. They have never succeeded in accomplishing any important results, and have, in most instances, been discontinued after a short time.

Our Normal Schgolshave accomplished much toward realizing the expectations of those who were most active iu their organization, but are yet far from meeting fully the need of the times, and it remains with the people, Legislatures, and liberally disposed men, to meet these wants by increased appropriations to existing schools, and the establishment of additional ones. The information, the culture and refinement which might thus be diffused among the mass of the people, would increase the prosperity, elevate the character, and promote the happiness of the nation, to a degree attainable in no other way.

But, when we consider that ninety-four out of every hundred of the two hundred thousand teachers in the United States enter the ranks but slightly comprehending the laws of physicial, mental, and moral growth, and of the development in harmony with these laws, that they are entirely without any special preparation for the work before them, and that many of them have but little appreciation of its magnitude and responsibilities, it must be apparent to every thoughtful mind that much remains to be done before such great results can or will be accomplished. The Prussians say: "Whatever you would have appear in the life of a nation, you must put into its schools." It follows of necessity, that whatever you would put into its schools you must first put into its teachers, for "As is the teacher, so is the school." Following out the teachings of this maxim, Prussia gives more than ninety-tnree per cent, of her teachers a professional education, while in the United States more than ninety-four per cent, of the teachers have not such an education. Surely, what has been accomplished in this respect by a monarchy, ou^ he to be accomplished by a republic, in which the need is so much more imperative, for the intelligence and virtue of the people are the only support of the Government.

No one is thought competent to engage in any of the ordinary mechanical occupations, without some special preparation. A blacksmith must serve an apprenticeship for years, before a man will trust him to shoe his horse, nor would he entrust his watch to a watchmaker who had not devoted years to the study of his art. The same is true in the professions. The physician, the lawyer, the clergyman, must be educated for their respective professions, to entitle them justly to enjoy the public confidence. Whatever a man undertakes, the importance of his knowing how to do it, and the time spent in acquiring a knowledge of it, increase in proportion to the magnitude of the interests involved, and the difficulties to be overcome.

Consider the importance of the interests committed to the teachers! It is not the cultivation o, the intellect alone. Every child entrusted to his care, is endowed with a physical, mental and moral nature, between which are mysterious sympathies and connections, that reciprocally govern and are governed. He has organs of sense, which are the inlets of knowledge. He has perception, memory, imagination and reason. He can learn and apply rules understand propositions, and iu simple examples, see the connection between premises and conclusions. He can be stimulated and swayed by motives, and is peculiarly susceptible to their influence. He is also susceptible of a great variety of opposite emotions, as liope and fear, joy and sorrow, love and hatred. Every child has a moral as well as a rational nature—has a conscience. He can discern between good and evil knows •»the difference between right and wrong between truth and falsehood. He has within him all the elements of high responsibility, all the faculties of an accountable and immortal being. But these faculties are yet to be unfolded to be cultivated, to be educated. The understanding, the memory, the imagination need it, the conscience and the heart need it. To reduce these various elements to order, to arrange and apply fundamental principles, to mold the mind and stimulate it to high and noble aims, to draw out its powers, to teach it its own strength and capabilities, to symmetrically cultivate all the powers and faculties of the pupil's mind, to train him up to the love and practice of all the virtues, is the noble and responsible work of the teacher. How absurd to suppose that the teacher can uuderstaud the nature of the powers of the mind, and the laws and order of their development, without any previous study or preparation!

There has been for some time a growing conviction in the minds of many that teaching ought to be elevated to the rank of a liberal profession. If so elevated, there must be institutions where it may he studied as a profession where the special object shall be the preparation of teachers for the work before them. This is the field of the Normal School—oneoccupied by no other school.

With increased fitness will come a higher appreciation of the dignity and importance of the office of the teacher, and the bestowal of a social position, and compensation that will

compare favorably with tho3e gained by educated labor in other departments No s-taiion of so great importance, has ever been so unjustly estimated. If teachers themselves generally had a clear and definite conception of the responsible position they occupy, and fitted themselves for it, there would be an increased self-respect, and cousciojisness of well doing, which could not fail to produce an influence on the profession itself, and ou all classes in thecommunity, causing them to understand more fully the worth of the competent teacher, and more willing to honor and reward it. One of the profoiindest thinkers of the age, has said: "One of the surest signs of the regenera tion of society will be the elevation of the art of teaching to the highest rank in the community."

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.]

PARIS, March 22.—Gen. Chausey has been removed to the prison of La Sante. He was shamefully treated. His sister was also arrested.

PARIS, March 22.—The insurrectionary official journal urges the National Guard to exercise a vigilant watch for criminals trying to re-enter Paris.

The payment of the National Guard regularly, and the distribution of alms to the needy has been resumed.

A proclamation signed by General Duval, and dated simply Paris, demands the election of the Mayor of Paris, with Deputy Mayors in all arrondisements. The proclamation says it is not the intention of the Nationals to separate Paris from France, but only from the Empire and the Government of National Defense, and from their measures of treason and cowardice, and concludes with appeals to the people to sustain themselves, as we are doing, and to follow our example iu opposing oppression. The decree further postpones the maturity of commercial bills, and prohibits landlords from expelling lodgers for nonpayment of rent till the issuance of fresh orders.

The Insurrectionary Central Committee has decided to respect the conditions of peace, but considers it just that the largest portion of the indemnity should fall upon the authors of the war. Mauy of the Nationals met last night, and adopted resolutions formutual protection and maintenance.

The Siecle urges each battallion of the army to take possession of its own quarter, and says if this is done a rising will be promptly repressed, and probably without bloodshed.

Paris is quiet. Cabs have resumed their trips, theaters are open, and railroad trains from Paris to Versailles run regularly.

The situation in Montmarixe and Belleville, however, is unchanged. All business and labor are stopped. There are frequent night alarms. Tocsin and drum are sounded, cannon fired, and the Montmartreists rush to arms, fearing an attack from, the 60,000 troops at Versailles. The Official Journal says the hour lias arrived when the common people of the capital can save the country, and appeals to the bourgeoise for support in the emergency.

The insurrectionary Official Journal says in extenuation of the execution of General Lecompte, that he had four times ordered his troops to fire on a crowd of inoffensive women.

Geueral Thomas, says the Journal, was in plain clothes, sketching the fortifications of Moutmartre.

LONDON, March 22.—A dispatch from Rouen says the Germans have celebrated their victories there in quietness.

A large number of French cities and towns have adopted and forwarded to Versailles, resolutions protesting against the revolution aud proclaiming their adhesion to the Government.

PARIS, March 22.—National Guards search all trains leaviug Paris and stop the egress of all military personages. The Nationals now hold and have occupied all the fortifications on the west of Paris.

BERLIN, March 23.—At the session of the German Parliament to-day, Herr Frankeuburg, by virtueof seniority President of the Chamber of Deputies, ou taking his seat, warmly congratulated the South German members.

A motion passed the House congratulating the Emperor upon the occurrence of the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth to-morrow.

LONDON, March 22»—A special dispatch to the Daily News from Berlin says the ceremony upon the opening of the German Parliament was imposing in its simplicity. The Emperor manifested deep emotion during his speech, which was delivered from the marble throne of Chariemange, brought from Aichen aix Chappelle especially for the purpose.

BERLIN, March 22.—Count Von Bismarck has heen elevated to the rank of Prince of the German Empire, and General Count Von Moltke has been decorated with the Grand Cross of the Order of the Iron Cross.

BERLIN, March 22.—The semi-official provincial correspondent to-day in an editorial on the treaties in Paris, says that Germany will certainly not interfere with affairs in Paris now, but she will know how to guard her interests and to press to their fulfillment of the engagements entered into by France.

VIENNA, March 22.—General Von Schweinitz, Prussian Minister, was to-

fa-

day received by the Emperor and presented with the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold.

RALEIGH, March 23.—The Senate sitting as a High Court of Impaacliment, yesterday voted on the eight articles preferred by the House against Governor Holden, and convicted him, by more than a two-thirds vote on all except the first two. An order was then passed removing Holden from office, and disqualifying him from holding any office of honor or profit in the State.

On this order the vote stood thirty-six affirmative and thirteen negative—all the Senators present except one.

The complexion of the Senate is thirtysix Conservatives and fourteen Republicans. One Republican was absent—Mr. Fly the, of Northampton.

The vote on the passage of the bill de fining a gross of matches was reconsidered, and the bill placed on the tav)le.

Mr. Trumbull presen ed a remonstrance from the American Free Trade League, against a repeal of the duties on tea aud coffee, as making more difficult the repeal of duties on iron, salt, &c. Referred.

The House resolution for final adjournment to-morrow, Thursday, was taken up.

Mr. Hamlin moved an amendment to fix the adjournment for Thuisday, March 30.

Mr. Morton hoped the resolution would not be adopted in any form. In order to test the sense of the Senate, he moved to lay the whole subject on the table. Carried, ayes 30, nays 23.

Mr. Fenton, from the Committee on Finance, reported adversely the House bill providing for the admission of animals specially imported from Cauada for breeding purposes, free of duty. Indefinitely postponed.

The regular order being the resolution specifying certain legislation astheexclusive business of the present session, was taken up, the question being upon an amendment to provide for legislation on the South, the general amnesty proposi tion of Mr. Sawyer being temporarily withdrawn.

Mr. Sherman said his amendment would have the effect of notification that the Senate would remaiu in session until such legislation as might be reported ir the Judiciary Committee was passed. He thought that the commtttee should now le preparing and considering a bill.

The hour of 2 o'clock, fixe for taking a vote, having arrived, Mr. Blair asked to make one remark. It was that the murderers and assassins convicted in North Carolina by proofs before the Senate, were Republicans.

Mr. Pool. That is because Republicans punish such men, and Democrats do not.

Mr. Blair. Now let me respond to that. The only persons in office in North Carolina, judges, district attorneys, and all the rest, are Republicans, and if there were any Democrats to punish for committing crimes, it would be done.

Excitement, and calls to order from the Republican side. Mr. Pool. But the jurors are Democrats. They are the men who punish.

Renewed calls to order from "all parts of the chamber. Mr. Biair, vociferating. Republicans havT the selection of the jurors. They have it by laws which they have made.

Calls of order and question. Mr. Blair, continuing—That is a fact, and no man shall charge it home upon me that these men are not punished because they are Democrats, when it is shown that the only men who break the laws, so far as discovery has been made, are Republicans.

The Vice President here interfered to maintain order and close the debate. He remarked that, by unanimous consent, on yesterday, the hour of 2 o'clock had been assigned as the time to take a vote on the pending question and amendments. There was no rule to compel adherence to the arrangement, aud its observance depended entirely upon the personal honor of Senators.

Mft Blair disclaimed any intention to disregard a unanimous agreement, but he could not allow the accusation of the Senator from North Carolina to go to the country without his emphatic contradiction.

The Senate then proceeded to vote, the question being first taken on Sherman's pending amendment to provide for legislation upon the South at the present session, which was agreed to, ayes 31, nays 18.

During the vote Mr. Conkling stated that he refrained from voting, because he considered the introduction of Sherman's amqpidmeut as in violation of the understanding entered into in the conference of Republican Senators. There was a difference of opinion between Senators on the subject, and holding the opinion be did, he preferred to act in his own way.

Messrs. Stewart, Hill and Robertson stated that they did not vote, for the reasons assigned by Mr. Conkling.

The result of the vote was tlien announced. Mr. Trumbull moved a further amendment by including the bill from the House repealing the duty on coal.

Mr. Hamilton, of Maryland, moved to amend this amendment by adding also for consideration, revenue reform and theWiffgenerally.

Mr. Hamilton's amendment was rejected. Mr. Thurman. Let us have the doors thrown wide open and see who is willing to stay here longer. I move to lay the resolution on the table. Lost by a party vote, aj*es 12, nays 38.

The question recurring on Mr. Trumbull's amendment, Mr. Robertson moved an amendment to the pending resolution, to include the house bill abolishing duty on salt. The amendment was agreed to.

Mr. Vickers moved to amend by adding the House bill abolishing the duty on tea and coffee, which was agreed to.

Mr. Boreman movedasanamendment, the bill to abolish duty on sugar, which was lost.

Mr.Casserly moved as an amendment the House bill to repeal the income tax. Rejected, yeas 27, nays 28, the Vice President voting nay.

Mr. Sumner moved to include in the proposed legislation, the supplementary rights bill. The motion was disagreed to.

Mr. Kerr presented, under the rules, a remonstrance of the American Free Trade League against the repeal of the duties on tea and coffee, by praying Congress to abolish the duties which keep up grevious monopolies, that oppress the people and violate every principle of right and justice, and leave undisturbed equitable duties like those on tea and coffee.
