ILLUSTRATED. A SOUVENIR VOLUME Prepared and published for the Information and pleasure of the friends of public education everywhere BY HAROLD W. COLE and THEODORE C. HAILES. Albany, N. Y. 1894. WEED-PARSONS PRINTING CO., ALBANY, N. Y. Introduction. WHEN Edward A. Freeman, the eminent English historian, first saw Albany from the heights opposite the city, he pronounced it to be the most picturesque city in the United States. It is no wonder that such an expression came from the distinguished traveller when he saw spread before him the Hudson spanned by graceful and airy bridges, the city rising majestically on its many hills, its spires and towers penciled against the western sky ; while surmounting and crowning the whole, the magnificent capitol dominated and completed the picture. This view would impress the most indifferent observer, and reflection would naturally lead him to the opinion that Albany must be a cultivated and progressive city. The beauty of its exterior, its fine buildings and beautiful parks are strong material evidences of Albany's worth. It is not, however, in such things alone that one seeks for indications of the progressiveness, the enterprise, the culture and the high purpose of an American city. The true index is to be found in the condition of the city's public school system. This book is a witness that Albany has been alive to her duties in this regard, in so far as the printer's and the engraver's arts can portray a school system. It is fair to assume, however, that when a city does its full duty in providing all material appliances of the best order, that the outcome of the schools in the kinds of men and women produced will also be of the best. The public school system of Albany, like all permanent results in human endeavor, has been a growth rather than a creation, and from its infancy has engaged the attention and the devoted services of prominent and able citizens. The names of G. V. S. Bleecker, John O. Cole, John Simpson, Henry B. Haswell, George W. Carpenter, John G. Treadwell, James L. Babcock, W. C. McHarg, Charles P. Easton, Isaac Edwards, and many others, well known in the annals of Albany, are indissolubly connected with the rise and progress of our public schools. No attempt will here be made to give a history of the Albany schools. The purpose of this publication is rather to let all know what the system is to-day. The public schools of Albany include one high school, twelve schools of what are called the grammar grades, and which carry pupils through the course that prepares them for entrance into the high school, eight primary schools, a teachers' training school and seventeen kindergartens. The affairs of the schools are administered by a Board of Public Instruction. Their number is seven, their term of office is seven years, and the high character, experience and ability of the men in service assure a grand and progressive administration. The Super- intendent of Schools is the executive officer of this Board. He is appointed to serve during good behavior. The present incumbent was appointed in February, 1878,, and has thus served nearly sixteen years. A competent Superintendent of Buildings is fully occupied during the entire year in keeping the school houses in good repair. The school buildings of Albany are, as a whole, excellent. Each one is arranged on the most approved principles of modern school architecture; the comfort and health of the pupils being carefully attended to, while the heating and means of admitting light and ventilation and the sanitary precautions are practically perfect. It is hardly necessary to say that, as a rule, the exteriors are pleasing to the eye, while nothing has been neglected in the arrangement or the finish of the interiors, which are noble, attractive and cheerful. The average attendance upon these schools is about eleven thousand ; the registration about fourteen thousand, and the seating capacity over thirteen thousand. Two hundred eighty-five teachers are employed, of whom twenty-three are men and two hundred sixty-two women. All of these have had the best of training; their tenure of office is during good behavior, and they are appointed on the score of merit only. The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the High School, during the month of "November last, aroused more general public interest than any mere local event has for many a day. The fifteen hundred eighty graduates of the school and the more than four thousand who attended, but did not complete their course, united together in congratulation upon the completion of the first quarter-century of Albany's most cherished institution. The reputation of the Albany High School is exceedingly high and its work is worthy of its reputation. The hundreds that fill positions of honor and usefulness in the city itself in professional and mercantile life, as well as in all the other varied occupations of a busy community, and the honor lists of Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Hamilton, Vassar, Wellesley, Smith, and many other like institutions attest the thoroughness and excellence of its work. A high grade of scholarship and special training are required from all who desire to become teachers in the public schools. To this end, a teachers' training class has been in operation for many years. Instruction in the theory and the art of teaching is given by competent instructors, and ample practice work in school rooms is made to supplement the direct instruction. A three years' course in kindergartning has just been added to the work of this school, which will render certain the needed supply of kindergartners for the future. In brief, the public schools of Albany take the child of four years into the kindergarten, carry him through the primary, grammar and high school grades, and send him forth well-prepared for farther study in colleges or professional schools, or well-equipped for a business or an industrial career.

THE SMEAD SYSTEM • OF arming, TtttliWttrtt tA %mMwx SCHOOL BUILDINGS. AN OPEN LETTER TO SCHOOL OFFICIALS. Genti,emen : Did you ever think of it ? To compel children and their teachers to live in unventilated or poorly ventilated school rooms is the daily cause of many deaths and has permanently impaired the health of thousands. A young woman goes into the position of teacher with robust health. If she continues to teach a few years, you will generally find that the roses have fled from her cheek, her feet have become leaden, her steps are languid, and her cheerful disposition is changed to petulance. WHY? Because she has been poisoned. For teachers and children to breathe over and over air loaded with foul gases and organic impurities thrown off by lungs and skin, is JUST AS FILTHY as if they should drink the water in which they have bathed, and is much MORE INJURIOUS TO HEALTH. Now, if you desire to reform this condition, we are prepared to help you to such results as can be reached by no other methods than THE SMEAD SYSTEM. The Smead associated offices are the pioneers in school house ventilation and sanitation. They are the only parties in the world who have made this department a specialty for a long time. They have the APPARATUS which is most perfect, and the experience without which the best apparatus would be v/orthless. IT IS NO EXPERIMENT. If you desire, we can send you a list of over two thousand school buildings using the Smead System. And we invite you to examine or inquire about any one of them. Here is a brief list of cities using the Smead System. Or we can give you references to prominent educators. Albany, N. Y., . 5 School Buildings. Toledo, 0., . 32 School Buildings Rochester, N.

THE idea of a school Desk and Chair that can be adjusted " exactly " to the sitting height of a child is not a new one. The best authorities on the proper seating in schools have for the past 20 years invited such an invention ; and since the introduction of Xhe Chandler Adjustable Desk and Chair the same authorities have expressed their approbation and satisfaction that it is now possible to obtain scientific hygienic furni- ture for the School-room. " The Roulstone " is easily and accurately adjustable to the size of every child, both Chair and Desk having adjust- ments graduated to 1-16 of an inch. It is artistic in appearance, solid in construction and gives to each child a seat separate from the Desk, as all correct furniture should give. We have had testimonials in favor of our furniture, from the most eminent authorities in the United States, such as Dr. E. M. Hartwell, Director of physical training in Boston public schools ; Dr. Chas. L. Scudder of Boston; Prof. Anderson; Yale and Chautauqua, etc., etc — and shall be glad to forward them upon application. We may here remark that Dr. Chas. L. Scudder of Boston found upon inspection that 20 per cent of the children in the Boston schools were more or less injured by improper Seats and Desks. We have already furnished about 50 schools with our adjustable furniture and should be glad to send the names of School of&cials with whom you may correspond in regard to its merits.

Y., Times-Union, Sept. 23, 1893.] THE TIMES-UNION. WITH A MISSION AND WITHOUT A MUZZLE. Every few days The Times- Union receives a letter asking it to give more space to politics. Here is a "sample letter" received by this morning's mail : To the Editor of the Times-Union : During the approaching campaign I desire to take a "red-hot" democratic paper. I have been taking the Times-Union for the past ten months, but I don't think you give enough attention to politics. Why don't you " pitch in" to the republi- cans and "holler up" the democrats? I/. Van B. ANSWER. The Times-Union aims to be a newspaper with a mission to interest and entertain its readers, and not to weary them. It wears no muzzle and is not a political organ. It gives the news of the day, faithfully recording everything of interest without prejudice. That the public appreciate its course is demonstrated by the fact that it goes into more homes than all the other daily newspapers in Albany combined. The people love truth and honesty, and hate fraud and deceit, not only in business, but in politics. If L. Van B. wants to read a paper that wastes valuable space " pitching into the fellows on the other side" he will have to look elsewhere, as we have too much respect for our readers to fancy they care anything for the monotonous utterances of a political organ. They read the facts as published in our columns and like an intelligent jury, form their own political opinions. The Times-Union is always for the welfare of Albany and its people, and doesn't care a snap for partisan politics, but means to discuss all things fairly and justly. It will speak of men and things as they are ; ' ' nothing extenuate, nor aught set down in malice." JOHN H. FARRELL, Editor and Proprietor. TIMES-UNION BUILDING, COR. BEAVER AND GREEN STS., ALBANY N.

Be it far from our intention to man- ifest such disloyalty and ingratitude. If there is one thing of which Albany may be justly proud, more than of others, it is its educational advantages. The curriculum of our public schools embraces all studies necessary for the laying of a solid foundation upon which to build a higher or collegiate education. There is, however, one thing that cannot be taught in school, neither in college, and yet is quite important to the development of self-reliance, namely : the science of Practical Economy, O nil which includes a practical knowledge of the value of the circulating medium and its proper and economical expenditure. This is easily acquired and is important to pupils and teachers. I^et them walk in the avenues of trade, where people deal in realities instead of theories, and there learn by observation and inquiry, the difference between the worthy and the worthless. As all things are better or worse, only by comparison, it naturally follows that the most intelligent judgment is founded on a knowledge of what is best. There is an institution in this city at which such a standard of comparison is always obtainable. Founded more than a quarter of a century ago, and though established as a private enterprise, it is incidentally a place where lessons of the kind indicated above, may be learned by old and young. The great department store of John G. Myers is open to the public from eight A. m. to six p. m. daily, and on Saturday even- ings, and there can be completed the education so well begun and so admirably maintained in the public schools of Albany.

Interests on deposits commence on the First day This Bank has never found occasion to ask of its of each month ; and, if not drawn out, bears interest the same as a cash deposit. Deposits in all sums from $1 to j3,ooo are received. Small deposits are invited as being most accordant with the proper objects of a Savings Bank ; and such are paid the highest rates of interest. Deposits may be received by mail, and every facility will be given mail depositors for both depositing and drawing money by mail.
