and the common school Teachers in theestima.
don of the intelligent part of the comirminity.
The three most important. objects . . Which
this „AeleCiatiOn.has _labored. to`accomidish,
end which itlizes kept in view since its organ- -
ization,—are the eatablishment of a .1. poto..'
1 mon School ttepartment," (independent .of
rwither. T depatitrieutur , of Stete4 the , officw.of
County Superinteneknt, and Normal Schools
— : :schools for , the .
‘ professionaL training of
teachers. The first two objects have i heen
accomplished'; and I heartily congratulate
the friends of education on the fact, that the
advantages. the cause of Common School eel
ecation is-roceiving from these two sources,
1(a separate §tato Department of Common
Schools ~an d the COunty Superintendency,
wherever 'this Office i!t' filled bi . otie who has
the tact, 19?ent, and the disposition to propir
di meet its re i sponsibilities,) are , fully equal to
the expectations of the friends.'of 'education.
The establishment of State Normal &Imola
'was recommended, at the „first semi-annual
'meeting of this Assalmion at Pittsburg. -
• The-friends of this measure indulged the hope
that the Legislature , wotild.establish,twO such
Institu,tions, one east and the other west of
the Alleghany,mountains. In that hope : we
were disappointed ; and no long er placing
confidence in' eo the Legislatureto. anything,
pecuniarq, to eStabliih these Schools, Upon
which, in an important 'degree, &peed the
efficiency and; usefulness of our Co t run6n
School Systengether means must be employ
ed to secure, them. ,
.
-- It was belicetl that. if the subject could be
brought before .;the people fa its true light,l
Normal Schools could be established by
.pri
vateeriterprise. In accordance with this. be-
lief, the following resolution,(as nearly es I
can-remember it) was offered at the semi--an
nue! meeting Of the Alsociation i et Pottsville,
in 1854; and T. 11. Burrows, W : ' 'A. T.
i
Wright and S. Thompson were appoi ted a
committee to report on ale same :"esolv
ed, That a corti - mittee of three be ap ` ivied
0
to devise sonic practical : plan for e due
professional training of teachers : to re, ort at -
the
the nest meeting."
- Soon after this the ' County Sup rinten
dents .of - Lancaster, :Indiana, and ayne
Counties were' encouraged' to call the : teach
ers together, instheir respeetive counties, to.
receive -instruction in the Science and Art.of
Teaching, foe a term of froririve_Aci elevel&
1 weeks. All of these temporary Schools were
eminently successful. In Lancasterunty
it awakened such an interest. in the ed uon ,
of Teachery-;that the' l
people
,m.nriedi county
e-'
,
rected additional buildings to accommodate a.,
-Permanent Norm' School. Since that tliCe
many other counties have taken similar mut-
snres. tii atliird their Teacher's-opporttinity to
better qualify themselves foe the discharge of
the difficult, important, and' eesponsible' du
ties 'diet devolve tipon - them, with results
equally flattering.o , •
Thus, the professional training of
has ;continued to'attract public attern
til'lttst winter, when the 4, Noftital
