now going up for 3 part of the model
school.
s. Our last appropriation made by
fhe legislature for paying debt of $50,
600, that Was due upon the building, was
passed by vote of more than three TO
one in both houses. I believe il the
question Of continuance or momentum
ance of the institution we're submitted to
the people it would be sustained BY q
still greater majority.
The influence of the institution has
been 10 stimulate improvement in edu-
c.,ionsI matters all over the State by set
TING before the people q higher standard
of teaching and governing schools. and
by illustrating this higher standard in the
actual work OF its graduates. We do
not pretend to furnish teachers for all the
schools in the State, but We do furnish
. a sufficient number to serve as examples
IN many portions of it. OF these the
qualifications become more or less con
tagious, and other teachers are improved
by their neighborbOod.
8. The normal school Is prs-eminent
" democratic institution. The good It
does is diffused throughout the common
schools taught by its graduates and pu
pills to the remotest hooks of the State.
From it every man. high or low, rich or
poor, may reasonably expect some direct
personal benefit. Give it fair oPportu-
nifty, and it will improve the instruction
impaired to every child in the common
wealth. believe. that in this parIicu-
lar, the normal school excels every other
= institution of learning. All learning has
in it q strong element of popular useful
ness; but the culture impaired here goes
diTict to tie common people, without loss.

The State of New York has established
aud has in operation two normal schools,
one in the city of Albany, by Law pass
ed in 1914. and one in the city of Oswe

The annual appropriation to the Albany

been in full operation until within the last
two years.
Your Let, Cd. Sd, 4th and 9th questions
are answered above. In snswer to your

The Law apPrOpriales sI2 .OOO a year for

will probably increase the number from
