The establishment of a Normal School for the training of teachers, as a necessary part of a national system of education engaged attention in Upper Canada in 1836. But no detailed plan by which that object could be accomplished was recom- mended to the Legislature until the presentation, in 1846, of a Report on a System of Public Elementary Instruction for Upper Canada, by the Chief Superintendent of Education. Practical eflfect was immediately given to those recommendations by the passing of a School Law— embodying the general features of the ^system detailed in that report—appropriating |6,000 for fur- nishing suitable buildings, and an annual grant of |6,000 for the support of the Normal School, and placing it under the management of a Board of Education and the Chief Superin- tendent of Education. The first attention of the Board, on its appointment in July, 184^, was directed to procuring suitable premises for the Insti- tution; and application was made, to the Government for per mission to occupy the Government House of the late Provinee of Upper Canada, at Toronto, until proper buildings could be erected. The application was granted ; and after the necessary arrangements h^d been completed, the NormaMchool for Upper Canada was opened on the 1st of November^Tl47, in the pres- ence of a large number of gentlemen from different parts of the Province. a The removal of the seat of Government frohi Montreal to Toronto, 1849, in consequence of the burning of the Parliament House on the passing of the " Rebellion Losses Bill," necessi- tated the removal of the Normal School to some other premises, and the adoption of measures for the immediate erection of buildings for the Institution. Accordingly the Legislature at Its session in 1850 appropriated $60,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of buildings, and an additio^al $40,000 in 1852— making in all $100,000.

On the 15th of May, 1858, the Normal School was removed into, the new building on Gerrard Street, and the old apartments were applied to the purposes of an Eduxjational Museum, and a projected School of Art and Design for Upper The Institution consists of a Normal School and two Model Schools ; the former, the school of inetruction by lecture ; the latter, the school of instruction by practice. The, students in the former are teachers-in-training, whose ages vary from 17 to 30 while the pupils in the latter are children between the ages of 5 and 18 or 20 years. In the Normal School the teachers-in-training are instructed in the principles of edu- cation and the best methods of communicating knowledge to the youth placed under their care— are " taught how to teach; ' in the Model Schools they are taught to give practical effect to those instructions, under the direction of teachers previously trained in the Normal School. The Model Schools for boys and girls are designed, by both the system of instruction pur- sued and general arrangements, to be the rmdel for all the pub- lic schools of the Province. ,. « / , m v. The Institution is designed to train Public School Teachers, so as to fit them for the more efficient discharge of their varied and important duties. Though essentially a training school, rather than a mere school of instruction, in the ordinary sense of the term, the majority of those received as stud^nts-in-train- ing, are so deficient in scholastic attainments, that it is found necessary to include in its course of instruction, not merely dis- cussions on the principles of educattion and methods of teaching, but also theactual teaching of most, or all, the branches of Public School study. It is conceded by all who have devoted any attention to the subject, that " to teach well one must be possessed of adequate knowledge ; in a word, must be well in- formed ;" and as more than nine-tenths of those who apply for admission to the Normal School do not possess anything like that amount of information and general knowle(k;ewhich the advancing spirit of the age very properly demandstmsthe part of those who would beco me edu cators of yout h, the Normal "Schoollilasters are compelled to suppleraent, by lectures wtthtr ti v t f. I c ^ '^T'' ^ js-^'v • » different branches of study embraced in an ordinary English . Education, the early training or want of training of tho^e who enter its walls. Every lecture, therefore, given in the Nbrmal . School is delivered with a two-fold object : — Ist. To convey to the class of students-in-iraining a certain amount of information on the subject oft which it treats ; and 2nd. To give this information in such a manner, that mak- ing the necessary allowance for differences of age and attain-, ments, it may serve as a model of the method in which the same subject is to be discussed before a class of children. ; GENERAL REGULATIONS , IN REGARD TO . . ' AND THE I- COURSE OF STUDY THEREIN. (Adopted by thrdowncil of Public Instruction.) L The sole object of the Normal School for Ontario is- to prepare students forthe profession of Teacher. In addition to * the course of lectu^lfdn the subjects required for First aiid ' Second Class Provmdial Certificates, students have the advan- tage of practice in the M^del School under the du-ect super- vision of the Principal and* Masters of the Normal SchooJ, and the teachers of the various divisions. n. The semi-annual sessions of the Normal .School arenas follows : (1) The Winter Session commences on the 8th day of January, and closes on the 15th day of June. (2) The - Autumn Session commences on the 8th dav of August and closes on the 3dad day of December. ^ [ If the days of opening fall on Sunday, the Session wilf heguixm, Monday.} - '« V .y^ y , « . • .^ , »• . , . - ' . • ' ■' •, ^ III. A Normal School course-r-varying in length according to ability of students— with requisite practice in the Model School,^ and a certificate of attendance and aptitude to teach, enables a " student to present himself before the' Board of Examiners as a candidate for a Firlt* or Second Class .Certificate,- without spending ii> the one case jive years, in th& other three years in the actual teaching of a school. »^ y / IV. Applicants for admission to the Normal School, if females^ must be seventeen years of age ; if ma\es, eighteen years, V.' Applications for adftiissioh, accompanie'd with certificate pf moral character, ^ated within three. months of its presenta-- tipn, signed by a clergyman or member of ,the religious per- suasiori-with which the applicant is connected, must be made at the Department of Education, on the 8th day of^antiary anil of August in, each year. No applications ^dll be' received, if made after tiie ninth day of these months. TI. Candidates must pass the prescribed entrance examii^a- tion, sign a decliaration of their mtentioti to devote themselves to the profession o^school teaching, and state that their object in coming to the Normal School is to qualify themselves better- for the important duties of that profession. - VII. The students are arranged in two divisions — the first and the Second. The latter of these is subdivided into a junior and a senior section. VIII. The classification in each division is based upon the entrance examination, and continued according to the result of motithly examinations, which determine the status of the stu- dents. • . IX. Those students only shall be eligible to compete for first or second class Provincial Certificates, who shall have success- fully passed a.tei-minal examination iij. the subjects prescribed in the programme, and received a Normal School Certificate. X. Upon these "conditions, candidates are admitted to the advantages of the Institution without any charge, either for tuition or the use of the Library. The books which they may be, rehired to use in the School are supplied at a reduced rate. • XL The Teachers-in-training must lodg;e and board in the city, in such houses and unjjer«such regulations as are approved of by the Council of iPublic Instruction. The cost of board -yanges from $2 to IS p e r wock^.^-- '^'J «^ * . r ' < C " .1- •s *-• ^'■HP Wf-f-w ."' « ■ *• ,r •'. r to 1 t k'a * * . ^ .- - f L ^ STAFF OF TEACHERS.
