THIRTkENrH ANNuAI REPORr

THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF The Board of Trustees of the Ne,O Jersey
State Normal School.
The pictures and plans accompanying
this report, show that the State Nor
NAL and Model School Of New Jersey,
in Trenton, are beautiful and comfor-
table buildings. During the last year
there have been under instruction
Q031) one thousand and thirty one pu-
pills, of whom three hundred and nine
ty fivs were Males.
The highest testimony is given to the
skill OF the principal, Jno.f 5. Hart, l..
l.. d. and to the mutual good spirit
prevailing among teachers and pupils.
The Report of the Principals then sub
mitted.
DR.. Hart AYERS that his chief aim, in
view of the peculiar object of the school,
is the cultivation of the power of en-
preston. The aim is not to elicit by
cross examination how much the pupil
has learned, but to give him an opper-
tuniGv of explaining the points in the
lesson, which each pupil does in ad-
dressing the class, not the teacher.
DR.. Hart has found that his Model
School does not furnish sufficient and
satisfactory practice for the "matri-
culants" of his Normal School
Continuing to use it as formerly, but
especially as a place where the normal
pupil may learn byobsevation the best
methods, he has caused small part of
the teaching in the Normal School to
be done by the pupils, giving each indi-
v:dual assigned to this duty ample
warning as to the time and subject, and
requiring that the lesson be given with
out the aid of book, The regular
teacher attends, and afterwards fur
nishes the principal a written criticism
OH the manner in which the lesson waf
given, which criticism is read aloud to
the school next day. A large number
of the criticisms SO made appear in the
Report, and show fai:hiulness, without
hsrshness, in exhibiting the merits and
shortcomings of the efforts Of the young
teachers.)
Written examinations have beer
found SO valuable "as an intellectual
exercise and as corrective of the evi,i
incident to the purely oral examina
tons of the daily recitation" that they
are now held at the end of every six oil
seven weeks.
A most excellent, and to us new
feature, is the requirement that after
the examinations are over, and the
standings are ascertained, each pupi
shall correct the answers he has writ
ten; the teachers having not corrected
the mistakes, but only generally indi
Gated their nature, by convenient
system of conventional signs.
DR.. Harris report further submits
large number of questions given in ex.
aminations, with the answers given BY
SOME one pupil, in each case the pupils
name being appended. The answers
are highly creditable to the school. A
catalogue, and the State Laws as to the
school end the Report.

FROM SPAIN TO OREGON.

Some years since wild goose was
shot In Washington Territory, and a
few grains of wheat were taken from
his craw. Being very large and full
they were preserved and planted
The yield was found to be SO great as
to lead to its propagation, until this va
ricty, which is known in the Territory
as :iie Goose Wheat, has become STAN
dard one in that section OF the country.
Samples of this wheat were recently
sent to the A Agricultural Department
at Washington. Upon examining
the samples at the museum, Of which
there are some two thousand varieties,
the same wheat was found, being one
of the samples sent from the Paris Ex-
position, and grown in Cuenca, i'll
Spain.

less specimen of the aforesaid "hypo-

All and more than all that the i'm
mortal Washington yentured in his anx-

uncertain future. The astonished world
looks upon us and beholds usurpatlon
