 FOR ONTA.RIO. 
 
 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. The corner stone of the new

the presence of the members of the Legislature and the citizens 
 of Toronto, and the premises wef e formally opened by a public 
 meeting in the theatre of the Institution on the 24th November, 
 1852. 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

 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. ;

 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. ^

 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
