PREFACE. 
 
 During the last sixteen years, the writer has often been asked " What are the Normal Schools 
 doing ? " " What have they accomplished ? " " How many of the pupils ever teach ? " " How 
 long do they teach on the average?" "Does it pay to educate young ladies in the Normal 
 School, when so many of them do not teach, or get married so soon?" These and similar ques- 
 tions have been asked by all classes of persons, by those occupying high educational positions, 
 and by members of Legislative committees when appropriations have been asked for to supply 
 the increasing wants of the school. It has been said that "half of the persons who attend these 
 schools never teach, and of the other half the majority teach but a short time." 
 
 At the Conventions of the Alumni, old friends rush together, and after the hearty hand-shak- 
 ing, begin to inquire about each other and about the absent classmates and friends, "Where 
 have you been?" "What have you been doing?" "Where's Mr. Brown?" "What is he 
 doing?" " Where's Miss Smith*" "Is she teaching, or is she married?" And so the inquiries 
 go on, in scores of groups, through the whole list of former classmates. 
 
 This Centennial year was seen in the near future when these inquiries would again be pre- 
 sented for an answer, and the facts would be wanted on record to go down to posterity. Incited 
 by what was thus heard and seen, the writer determined to record the leading facts in the history 
 of the school, and to gather and preserve answers to the most prominent questions respecting 
 the past members of the school, so that all may know what the school has done, and the Alumni 
 have the pleasure of learning some of the things they would like to know about their Normal 
 friends. 
 
 A brief account of the origin of the school is first presented, showing what years of earnest 
 effort were necessary to secure the establishment of the Board of Education, and the opening of 
 the first Normal Schools. This is followed by the Rules and Regulations originally adopted by 
 the Board of Education for the government of all the Normal Schools, with the modifications that 
 have since been made in these regulations ; a complete list of the members of the Board of Edu- 
 cation, and of the Visitors of the school; an account of the school under each of the three Prin- 
 cipals ; statistical summaries showing the number of workers, and what they have done ; the 
 1 1 oil of Honor, presenting the noble band of patriots who went forth to fight for freedom and 
 free institutions ; a brief history of the Normal Lyceum, and the Normal Association ; and an 
 Index of all the names in the Alumni Record. 
 
 The historical part of the book has been prepared from original sources; the records of the 
 Board of Education and files of papers and letters preserved by them ; an account of the action 
 of Plymouth County in the establishment of the school, furnished by Hon. Artemas Hale, of 
 Bridge water, who was a prominent leader in the movement; and from the records kept by the 
 Principals of the school. The account of the school has been given in three administrations for 
 the purpose of presenting a more definite picture of the life of the school as it was known by the 
 Alumni. 
 
 The Alumni Record has been prepared from the answers to circulars sent to each person whose 
 address could in any way be found. It presents the Alumni in classes as they entered the school, 
 with their residence at the time of admission; the time they were in school; the time they have 
 taught ; their present occupation ; and their present address ; and the date of the death of those 
 deceased, so far as known. 
 
 ( 'ircular letters of inquiry were first sent out early in 1873. The responses to these were so few 
 and tardy that the whole matter was dropped. At the Convention in 1874, the desire for more 
 definite information about the Alumni was so fully expressed, the writer determined to resume 
 th' work and push it to completion. The gathering of the information presented in the Alumni 
 s been attended with unexpected difficulties. Class histories, of which much has been 
 
vi PREFACE. 
 
 said at the Conventions, were found to be myths, except in four instances, and class secretaries 
 could not be found in a large majority of the classes. Circular letters were sent again in 1875, 
 to all whose address could be obtained. Twenty-five hundred of these printed letters of inquiry 
 were sent out. Some of them were forgotten by the recipients, others went to the waste basket; 
 some did not want to put themselves on record ; but a large number gladly responded fully. A 
 large number still remained who had not been found. Letters and postal cards were sent to 
 relatives and friends, to classmates, to post-masters, to any persons supposed to be most likely 
 to give the desired information. In some instances it was found that the inquiry had been sent 
 to one long since dead, but this fact was brought to life by the inquiry. Our thanks are specially 
 due to many of the Alumni for their aid in obtaining information about others, and to post- 
 masters for their kindness in forwarding letters and answering inquiries about persons in their 
 towns. Sometimes five or six letters or postals have been sent out to learn about one Alumnus, 
 obtaining as a result, in some cases, the desired information, in others, no clue whatever. These 
 and other difficulties have been met. They are merely mentioned in explanation of the delay in 
 bringing out the book, and of some omissions, and a few errors that may be found. Except in 
 a very few instances, the statements given in the Alumni Record have come directly from the 
 persons of whom they are made, or from near relatives who knew the facts. 
 
 In one way or another we have succeeded in obtaining some record of more than three-fourths 
 of all who have attended the school. The present members of the school are included in the 
 total of the Alumni, but are not counted in giving the number heard from. AVe wish the record 
 could have included an account of every Alumnus. The record is not as full as was intended, 
 but is all that could be obtained at this time. The writer cannot hope that in a work offering so 
 many opportunities for error, and undertaken by him in addition to Ms regular school work and 
 other duties, the past year unusually pressing, no mistakes will be found; he trusts, however, 
 that these mistakes are few in number, and not such as will seriously impair the record. It has 
 been impossible for the writer to do all the work of getting the information for the Alumni 
 Record, but for the efficient assistance of one whose modesty forbids the mention of her name, 
 it could not have been completed at this time. 
 
 And what does this record show? Aside from its interest in gratifying curiosity, from its 
 making the Alumni better acquainted with each other, and uniting them more strongly as a 
 body, it is hoped that this work will be useful in showing the vast amount of work already done 
 by our Alma Mater, though now but thirty-six years of age. A single line states that Mr. A. 
 has taught thirty years. This means that a man with the mental and moral power and influence 
 which the thorough training of Mr. Tillinghast gave, has been laboring all these years in form- 
 ing the habits of thought, of feeling, and of action in the large number of young minds who 
 have been under his training. Another line states, Miss J. has taught a primary school thirty- 
 two years in one city. This means that she has taken hundreds of the "little ones," fresh from 
 the hand of the Creator, has wrought at the springs of life, and has given direction to the cur- 
 rent of the whole life. What a grand record has such a teacher! "Inasmuch as ye have done 
 it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me," says the Teacher of all teachers. 
 About one-third of the lady members have married. What educational influence have they 
 exerted as wives and mothers, in their homes, and in the villages and towns where they live? 
 And the men who have left teaching after a few years to engage in other professions, or in busi- 
 ness pursuits, has their influence in the work of education been lost, as they have taken their 
 places on School Committees, in the halls of legislation, and in the town meetings? Let L one 
 glance over the thousands of lines in this Alumni Record, and sum up the vast amount of work 
 done in the nine thousand years of teaching reported, let him in imagination trace the lines of 
 its influence through the body politic, and he can but feel that the God of the Pilgrims directed 
 the founding and the carrying on of the Bridge water State Normal School. 
 
 Grateful as this retrospect will be to the Alumni, the Teachers, the Visitors, the Board of Ed- 
 ucation, and the Donors to the Institution must feel the highest satisfaction in the review of 
 what has been accomplished: Would the early friends of the movement wish to recall any of 
 their efforts and sacrifices? Have the Board of Education found better returns for any other 
 like amount of work? Would the Teachers wish that their labors in the past had been less? 
 Could they have cultivated other fields that would have yielded a richer harvest? Has the State 
 found other investments that have paid a larger percentage? Is not such an investment a 
 
 PAYING ONE ? 
 
 The days of small things and of severe trial have passed by, the Institution is now recognized 
 as doing an important work. Though it has accomplished so much, it has but just entered upon 
 its usefulness. With the large number of Alumni now at work, scattered all over the country,

 from the "Pine Tree State" to the "Golden Gates" of the Pacific, each as an educator, and 
 \vitli the annual additions to be made, what shall be accomplished in the next thirty-six years? 
 Let every Alumnus answer. 
 
 The work of compiling this History and Alumni Record has been by no means a small one, 
 The Alumni Record ought to be kept as complete as possible. The writer has made arrange- 
 ments for continuing the record upon the books to be kept at the school. 
 
 Is it too much to ask that each Alumnus will annually, on the first of May, send a postal card 
 directed to the Principal of the school, telling where he is and ichat he is doing ? Let every Alum- 
 nus do this. The writer will feel amply repaid for his labor in the preparation of this book, if it 
 shall prove satisfactory to the large family of Alumni whose noble career it records, and shall 
 help to unite them more closely to each other and to our common Alma Mater. It is hoped that 
 the pictures of the buildings and the portraits that have been introduced will serve to revive 
 many pleasant associations.

 ORIGIN OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 The free public schools established by the early settlers of Massa- 
 chusetts have always been cherished by the people, but in the early 
 part of the present century there was a great decline of interest, and 
 a great want of well qualified teachers for the common schools. A 
 few men whose attachment to the cause was earnest and heartfelt, 
 alive to the importance of removing these defects in the system of 
 public instruction, appealed to the people and to the Legislature, 
 through the press and by every form of public address, urging the 
 necessity for the establishment by the State, of a Board of Education 
 and of Normal Schools for the better qualification of teachers for the 
 common schools. 
 
 James G. Carter, of Lancaster, was the first to call public attention 
 in Massachusetts to the necessity and advantages of Normal Schools, 
 by a series of articles published in the Boston Patriot, in the winter 
 of 1824-5, with the signature of ''Franklin. " In these he maintained 
 that " the first step toward a reform in our system of popular educa- 
 cation, is the scientific preparation of teachers for the free schools. 
 And the only measure that will insure to the public the attainment of 
 the object, is to establish an institution for the very purpose." He 
 then describes the leading features of an institution for the education 
 of teachers. These essays were ably written and attracted much 
 attention. 
 
 After twelve years of persistent effort by Mr. Carter and others, 
 the Legislature passed an act establishing the Board of Education, 
 which was signed by Governor Edward Everett, April 20, 1837. The 
 Governor appointed as members of this Board, James G. Carter, Rev. 
 Emerson Davis, Edmund Dwight, Horace Mann, Rev. Edward A. 
 Newton, Robert Kantoul, Jr., Rev. Thomas Robbins, and Jared 
 Sparks. The Board held its first meeting June 29, 1837, chose Hon. 
 Horace Mann its Secretary, and issued an address to the people of 
 Massachusetts, asking their co-operation, and calling conventions for 
 the discussion of the interests of education, which were held during 
 the autumn of 1837 in every county of the State, except Suffolk. 
 
10 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 These conventions stirred the whole community to a higher interest 
 in the whole subject of school education. 
 
 The Board of Education immediately recommended the passage of 
 a law providing for the establishment of Normal Schools. In March, 
 1838, one of the members of the Board, Hon. Edmund Dwight, of 
 Boston, a name that ought ever to be held in reverence by every 
 friend of the public school system of Massachusetts, offered, through 
 the Secretary of the Board of Education, to furnish ten thousand dol- 
 lars, "to be expended under the direction of the Board, for qualifying 
 teachers for our common schools," on condition that the Legislature 
 would appropriate for the same purpose an equal amount. On the 
 19th of April, the same year, the Legislature passed resolves accept- 
 ing the proposition. With the sum of twenty thousand dollars at 
 their command, the Board decided to establish these schools for the 
 education of teachers, each to be continued three years, as an exper- 
 iment. May 30, 1838, the Board voted to locate one of these schools 
 in the county of Plymouth. December 28, 1838, the Board voted to 
 locate the other two at Lexington and Barre. The schools were 
 opened, at Lexington, July 3, 1839 ; at Barre, September 4, 1839 ; 
 and at Bridgewater, September 9, 1840. 
 
 The people of Plymouth County were the first to make application 
 to the Board for the location of one of these schools. They had be- 
 come thoroughly interested in the subject, chiefly through the efforts 
 of Rev. Charles Brooks, of Hingham. In 1835, Mr. Brooks, hav- 
 ing recently returned from Europe, deeply in love with the Prussian 
 system of Normal Schools, resolved to labor for the establishment of 
 State Normal Schools in Massachusetts, after the Prussian model, 
 hoping, also, that the first one should be located in Plymouth County. 
 He delivered lectures upon the subject before conventions in nearly 
 all the towns in the County, before the Legislature, and in many 
 towns throughout the State. 
 
 A committee of the convention of the friends of education, in Ply- 
 mouth County, presented the application to the Board at their annual 
 meeting, May 30, 1838. The Board immediately voted to establish 
 a Normal School in the County of Plymouth " as soon as suitable 
 buildings, fixtures and furniture, and the means of carrying on 
 the school, exclusive of the compensation of teachers, shall be 
 provided and placed under the control of the Board." The Board 
 suggested that Academy buildings, sufficient for the accommoda- 
 tion of a hundred pupils, and a mansion house, or houses, for 
 their residence, would be deemed adequate to meet the public 
 wants. 
 
ORIGIN OF THE SCHOOL. 11 
 
 Measures were immediately taken to comply with the conditions of 
 the Board. To create an interest in the cause among the people of 
 the county, a convention was called, to meet at Hanover, Sept. 4, 
 1838. The convention was largely attended. The following notice 
 of the proceedings is abridged from the Hingham Patriot. 
 
 After an address by Mr. Mann, Secretary of the Board of Educa- 
 tion, on " Special Preparation, a Pre-requisite to Teaching," Rev. 
 Charles Brooks introduced a resolution approving of a plan, pro- 
 posed by a committee of the Association, to raise in the several towns 
 in the county, a sum (ten thousand dollars) sufficient to provide a 
 building, fixtures and apparatus, in order to secure the location of one 
 of the three Normal Schools in Plymouth county. 
 
 Mr. Ichabod Morton of Plymouth, who had two -years before, 
 offered to meet one-tenth of the expense of the enterprise, " advo- 
 cated raising up better teachers, who, by a Christian education, could 
 carry the happiness of childhood fresh and whole through life." 
 
 Hon. Robert Rantoul, of Gloucester, thought a reformation in our 
 common schools was exceedingly needed, and this change for the 
 better could only be effected by better teachers, well paid, and per- 
 manently employed. 
 
 Rev. George Putnam, of Roxbury, ably refuted several objections 
 to the Normal Schools, one of which was " that it was some trick of 
 the rich to get advantage of the poor ; " and another, " that it may 
 tend to raise the wages of our teachers." 
 
 Hon. John Quincy Adams said " I have examined the subject of 
 late, and I think the movements in this county by the friends of edu- 
 cation have been deliberate, and wise, and Christian ; and I think the 
 plan, contemplated by the very important resolution before the meet- 
 ing, cannot but find favor with every one who would examine and 
 comprehend it. On this great and glorious cause let us expend 
 freely, yes, more freely than on any other." 
 
 Hon. Daniel Webster said, " I rejoice at the noble efforts here made 
 of late, and hope they may be crowned with entire success. This 
 plan of a Normal School in Plymouth county is designed to elevate 
 our common schools, and thus to carry out the noble ideas of our Pil- 
 grim Fathers. There is growing need that this be done. The good 
 which these seminaries are to spread through the community is 
 incalculable." 
 
 Rev. Thomas Robbins, of Rochester, remarked, "As the offer of 
 the Normal Schools had been first made to the Old Colony, that 
 "Mother of us all,' I hope that the descendants of the Pilgrims will 
 sustain the exalted character of their fathers ; and, as in times past, 
 
12 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 so now, go forward in improvements which are to elevate and bless 
 all coming generations." 
 
 An association was formed for raising the proposed fund, and the 
 Legislature of 1839 passed an act incorporating Artemus Hale, of 
 Bridgewater, Seth Sprague, Jr., of Duxbury, Ichabod Morton, of 
 Plymouth, Sylvanus Bourne, of Wareham, Arad Thompson, of Mid- 
 dleborough, and their associates and successors, by the name of the 
 " Plymouth County Normal School, in the County of Plymouth," to 
 provide the buildings for the use of the school. Artemus Hale, of 
 Bridgewater, was President of this Corporation, and was very active 
 and influential in securing the means for the establishment of the 
 school. 
 
 These Trustees held meetings in most of the towns of the county, 
 in which the importance of the measure was ably and strongly urged. 
 The towns of Plymouth, Duxbury, Marshfield, Abington and Ware- 
 ham, voted to make appropriations for the school from the surplus 
 revenue, which had just before been divided by the general govern- 
 ment. The amount thus pledged was little more than eight thousand 
 dollars. The Trustees then agreed that the town in which the school 
 should be located should pay the additional two thousand dollars. In 
 several towns individuals agreed to do this, provided the school 
 should be located in their own town. It was decided that the loca- 
 tion should be made by disinterested men. Accordingly, Hon. 
 Samuel Hoar, Hon. Robert Rantoul, Jr.. and Hon. James G. Carter, 
 were appointed for that purpose. They gave a public hearing at 
 Bridgewater, March 26, 1840. The principal competition was 
 between Plymouth, Middleborough, and Bridgewater, and the 
 respective claims of these towns were urged in the strongest manner 
 possible. The decision was in favor of Bridgewater. At this stage 
 some of the towns which had voted to pay their proportion of the ten 
 thousand dollars, refused to do so, and as the other pledges were made 
 on the condition that the full sum should be raised, the whole matter, 
 as to funds, for which so much time and money had been spent, 
 became null and void. To prevent the failure of an enterprise of so 
 much importance, application was made to the Board of Education to 
 know on what terms they would establish the school at Bridgewater. 
 The Board voted " that the school be established at Bridgewater for 
 the term of three years, on condition that the people of the town put 
 the Town House in such a state of repair as may be necessary for 
 the accommodation of the school, and that they place at the disposal 
 of the Visitors of the school the sum of five hundred dollars, to be 
 expended in procuring a library and apparatus, and that they give 
 
ORIGIN OF THE SCHOOL. 13 
 
 reasonable assurance that the scholars shall be accommodated with 
 board within a suitable distance at an expense not exceeding two dol- 
 lars per week." 
 
 The town accepted these conditions, granted the use of the Town 
 House, spent two hundred and fifty dollars in fitting it up, and paid 
 the five hundred dollars for library and apparatus. A school house 
 for the Model School, connected with the Normal School, was built 
 by the Centre School District at an expense of five hundred dollars. 
 
 It will thus be seen that the people of Plymouth county were fore- 
 most in the endeavor to open a Normal School, that they proposed to 
 raise a fund sufficient to give it a permanent home at the outset, and 
 for nearly two years the friends of the movement made every possible 
 effort to accomplish the desired object. But the time for so large an 
 outlay had not come ; the Normal School in Massachusetts was an 
 untried experiment, and it must be content with an humble beginning. 
 This prolonged effort to provide good buildings at the start, made 
 this the last of the first three Normal Schools of the State to be 
 opened, but it was so firmly planted in Bridgewater by these efforts 
 that it has never changed its location. 
 
 Horace Mann said of this school, at the dedication of the school 
 house, in 1846, "Its only removal has been a constant moving 
 onward and upward, to higher and higher degrees of prosperity and 
 usefulness." 
 
14 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 The twenty thousand dollars furnished " for qualifying teachers for 
 our common schools," was placed in the hands of the Board of Edu- 
 cation, without any specifications for its expenditure. The object of 
 this provision evidently was to test the utility of State Normal Schools 
 in educating teachers. The particular form of the experiment, and 
 all the details of these institutions were left entirely to the discretion 
 of the Board, and they have continued to have the entire manage- 
 ment of these schools. May 27, 1838, the Board adopted the follow- 
 ing Rules and Regulations for the Massachusetts Normal Schools, 
 which, with the modifications indicated, are still in force. 
 
 VISITORS. 
 
 "The Board of Education will choose by ballot, for each school, 
 three of their members to be its Visitors." 
 
 "It shall be the duty of the Visitors, or the major part of them, to 
 visit the school under their charge at least once every term, to super- 
 vise the administration of its Rules ; to be present at, and direct the 
 examination of all candidates for admission, and of pupils leaving 
 the school with the purpose of becoming teachers ; to advise with the 
 Principal in all matters of internal discipline ; to submit, by their 
 chairman, estimates of the appropriations necessary to be made for the 
 support of their schools; to draw, by their chairman, on the Treas- 
 urer of the Board for the sums of money appropriated to their school, 
 as the same shall from time to time be needed to pay expenses ; and 
 to report of their doings, and the state of the school, to the Board, 
 once a year at least, and oftener if they have occasion and opportunity. 
 
 " The Visitors shall have power to suspend any of the existing reg- 
 ulations of the school, and to establish new ones, to have effect until 
 the next meeting of the Board of Education." 
 
 INSTRUCTORS. 
 
 " The Board will appoint for each school a Principal Instructor, 
 who shall direct and conduct the whole business of government and 
 instruction, subject to the Rules of the Board and the supervision of 
 the Visitors. 
 
 " At all examinations the Principal shall attend and take such part 
 therein as the Visitors may assign to him, and make reports to them 
 at such times and on such points as they may require. 
 
GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL. 15 
 
 "Assistants. The Visitors shall appoint Assistant Instructors when 
 authorized or directed to do so by the Board. The Assistants will be 
 subordinate to the Principal, and perform such duties as he may 
 assign to them." 
 
 CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION. 
 
 " Candidates for admission, -proposing to qualify themselves to be- 
 come school teachers, must have attained the age of seventeen years 
 complete, if males, and sixteen years if females, and be free from 
 any disease or infirmity which would unfit them for the office of 
 teacher. They must be well versed in Orthography, Reading, Writ- 
 ing, Arithmetic, Geography and Grammar. They must furnish sat- 
 isfactory evidence of good intellectual capacity, and of high moral 
 character and principles. Examinations for admission will take place 
 at the commencement of each academic year, and oftener, at the dis- 
 cretion and convenience of the Visitors and the Principal." 
 
 COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. 
 
 " Instruction will be given in the following branches, namely : 
 
 1. Orthography, Reading, Grammar, Composition and Rhetoric, 
 Logic. 
 
 2. Writing, Drawing. 
 
 3. Arithmetic, mental and written, Algebra, Geometry, Book- 
 keeping, Navigation, Surveying. 
 
 4. Geography, ancient and modern, with Chronology, Statistics 
 and General History. 
 
 5. Physiology. 
 
 6. Mental Philosophy. 
 
 7. Music. 
 
 8. Constitution and History of Massachusetts and of the United 
 States. 
 
 9. Natural Philosophy and Astronomy. 
 
 10. Natural History. 
 
 11. The Principles of Piety and Morality common to all sects of 
 Christians. 
 
 12. The Science and Art of Teaching -with reference to all the 
 above named subjects. 
 
 " A portion of the Scriptures shall be daily read in the Normal 
 Schools. 
 
 " Such of the above studies as are required by the Statutes to be 
 taught in the public schools, shall be the first and most constant ob- 
 jects of attention in the Normal Schools. 
 
. 
 
 . 
 
 16 fcRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 " One or more of the above named branches may be omitted in any 
 school, or in certain classes of a school, at the discretion of the Prin- 
 cipal, with the consent of the Visitors." 
 
 LENGTH OF THE COURSE OF STUDY. 
 
 "The courses of studies shall be so arranged as to occupy one 
 year, but provision shall always be made for the further instruction of 
 those pupils who, with the advice of the Principal, may choose to 
 continue in the school for a longer period." 
 
 CERTIFICATES. 
 
 f( Pupils who shall have been members of any of the Normal Schools 
 for one year or more, and have attended to its rules and studies in a 
 manner satisfactory to the Visitors, shall, on leaving, be entitled to a 
 certificate of qualifications, in such form as the Board, or the visitors, 
 may hereafter prescribe. The certificate to be given by the Principal, 
 under the direction or by order of the Visitors." 
 
 The Committee of the Board who reported the above Rules and 
 Regulations, say, in closing their report, " we will not undertake to 
 prescribe rules for the internal discipline, classification, and order of 
 study of the schools. On these points much must be left to the wis- 
 dom and genius of the instructor. We want at the head of every 
 school a man of such energy and skill, that having furnished him 
 with school house, scholars, and apparatus, and a bare outline of our 
 plan and wishes, we can trust him to say, with the Principal of the 
 Haarlem school, " I am the Code ; there is no other." And indeed, 
 there is no other that will accomplish our designs in a manner satis- 
 factory to the public and to the benefactors of the Normal Schools." 
 
 In expenditures the Visitors cannot exceed the sum allotted by the 
 Board, nor can the Board exceed the amount specifically appropriated 
 by the Legislature each year. 
 
 CHANGES IN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 Visitors. Since the increase in number of the Normal Schools, 
 the Board have chosen for each school two of their members, instead 
 of three, to be its Visitors, and the Secretary of the Board is a Visitor 
 of each of the schools. The duties of the Visitors have not been 
 changed. 
 
 Instructors. The following requirement has been added : " It 
 shall be the duty of the Principal to make a report, at the end of each 
 term, to the Visitors, and, if in their judgment, any do not promise to 
 be useful as teachers, they shall be dismissed." 
 
GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL. 17 
 
 In May, 1859, the Board of Education voted, "That the Principals 
 of the several Normal Schools shall have power to remove pupils 
 temporarily for misconduct, and shall immediately report every such 
 case to the Visitors for final action." 
 
 The following votes were passed by the Board of Education, De- 
 cember 2, 1874: 
 
 Voted, " That the Principal of each Normal School shall annually 
 present an account to the Visitors, debiting himself, or herself, with 
 $2.00 per term from each pupil, and crediting himself with the 
 expenditures from this fund. This account shall be audited by the 
 Visitors, and a general statement of the account shall be annexed to 
 their report, and the account shall be placed on file with the Treas- 
 urer of the Board." 
 
 Voted, "That the principals of the boarding houses shall, at the 
 close of every term, render to the Visitors accounts charging them- 
 selves with the full amount of board for each pupil, and with all extras 
 charged, and crediting themselves with the sums expended for meats, 
 vegetables, butter and eggs, groceries, fuel, light, wages, repairs on 
 house, repairs on furniture, incidentals, and the amount brought from 
 the last account ; that these accounts be audited by the Visitors, and a 
 general statement of expenditures be presented to the Legislature 
 with the annual report of the school." 
 
 Conditions of Admission. From the beginning ot the school to 
 the nineteenth term, inclusive, pupils were required to remain in the 
 school at least two terms, which, however, were not necessarily suc- 
 cessive. 
 
 May 27, 1846, the Board passed an order requiring pupils who 
 should afterward enter the Normal School at Bridgewater, to do so 
 with the avowed intention of remaining at least one year in succes- 
 sive terms. Accordingly, after the nineteenth term, candidates for 
 admission were required to sign the following declaration : " We, 
 the subscribers, on entering the Normal School, declare that it is our 
 intention to become teachers ; that we are of the requisite age, and 
 intend to remain in the school for three successive terms." At this 
 time there were three terms, of fourteen weeks each, in the year. 
 
 In 1869, provision was made for a four years' course of study. 
 New members are admitted to the shorter course of two years at the 
 commencement of each term, to the course of four years, at the com- 
 mencement of each Fall term. 
 
 Since 1860, candidates foradmission have been examined in the 
 History of the United States, in addition to the studies previously 
 required. 
 
18 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 Course of Instruction. December 13, 1849, the Board adopted 
 the following rules in relation to the order and distribution of the 
 studies in the course : 
 
 1. "The Course of Study in each of the Normal Schools, shall 
 begin with a review of the studies pursued in the common schools, 
 namely : Reading, Writing, Orthography, English Grammar, Men- 
 tal and written Arithmetic, Geography and Physiology. 
 
 2. "The attention of the pupils in the Normal Schools shall be 
 directed 1, To a thorough review of elementary studies ; 2, To those 
 branches of knowledge which may be considered as an expansion of 
 the above named elementary studies, or collateral to them ; 3. To the 
 art of teaching and its modes. 
 
 3. "The advanced studies shall be equally proportioned, according 
 to the following distribution, into three departments, namely : 1, The 
 Mathematical, including Algebra, through Quadratic Equations ; Ge- 
 ometry, to an amount equal to three books in Euclid ; Book-keeping, 
 and Surveying. 2. The Philosophical, including Natural Philoso- 
 phy, Astronomy, Moral and Intellectual Philosophy, Natural His- 
 tory, particularly that of our own country, and so much of Chemistry 
 as relates to the atmosphere, the waters, and the growth of plants 
 and animals. 3. The Literary, including the critical study of the 
 English language, both in its structure and history, with an outline 
 of the history of English literature; the history of the United States, 
 with such a survey of general history as may be a suitable prepara- 
 tion for it; and Historical Geography, ancient and mediaeval, so far 
 as is necessary to understand general history, from the earliest times 
 to the period of the French Revolution. 
 
 4. "The art of teaching and its modes, shall include instruction 
 on the philosophy of teaching and discipline, as drawn from the na- 
 ture and condition of the juvenile mind ; the history of the progress 
 of the art, and the application of it to our system of education ; and 
 as much exercise in teaching under constant supervision, towards the 
 close of the course, as the circumstances and interests of the Model 
 Schools will allow." 
 
 In June, 1853, the Board voted, "that the direct preparation of 
 teachers by actual practice of teaching, under the eye and supervision 
 of the Principal, be regarded as an essential part of the process of 
 qualifying teachers for the public schools, and that the Visitors of the 
 several Normal Schools be directed to see that this principle be car- 
 ried out in the schools under their charge." 
 
 The Board of Education, by a vote passed January 9, 1866, pre- 
 scribed the following course of study, for the State Normal Schools : 
 
GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL. 19 
 
 " The design of the Normal School is strictly professional ; that is, 
 to prepare, in the best possible manner, the pupils for the work of 
 organizing, governing, and teaching the public schools of the Com- 
 monwealth. 
 
 "To this end, there must be the most thorough knowledge ; first, of 
 the branches of learning required to be taught in the schools ; and 
 second, of the best methods of teaching those branches. 
 
 "The time of the course extends through a period of two years, and 
 is divided into terms of twenty weeks each, with daily sessions of not 
 less than five hours, five days each week." 
 
 Branches of Study to be pursued. 
 
 First Term. 1. Arithmetic, oral and written, begun. 2. Geome- 
 try, begun. 3. Chemistry. 4. Grammar and Analysis of English 
 Language. 
 
 Second Term. 1. Arithmetic, completed; Algebra, begun. 2. 
 Geometry, completed ; Geography and History, begun. 3. Physi- 
 ology and Hygiene. 4. Grammar and Analysis, completed. 5. 
 Lessons twice a week in Botany and Zoology. 
 
 Third Term. 1. Algebra, completed ; Book-keeping. 2. Ge- 
 ography and History, completed. 3. Natural Philosophy. 4. Rhe- 
 toric and English Literature. 5. Lessons twice a week in Min- 
 eralogy and Geology. 
 
 Fourth Term. 1. Astronomy. 2. Mental and Moral Science, 
 including the Principles and Art of Reasoning. 3. Theory and Art 
 Teaching, including: (1) Principles and Methods of Education. 
 (2) School Organization and Government. (3) School Laws of 
 Massachusetts. 4. The Civil Polity of Massachusetts and the 
 United States. 
 
 " In connection with the foregoing, constant and careful attention 
 to be given throughout the course to Drawing and Delineations on 
 the blackboard ; Vocal Music ; Spelling, with derivations and defini- 
 tions ; Reading, including analysis of sounds and vocal gymnastics ; 
 and Writing. 
 
 "The Latin and French languages may be pursued as optional 
 studies, but not to the neglect of the English course. 
 
 " General exercises in Composition, Gymnastics, Object Lessons, 
 etc., to be conducted in such a manner and at such times as the Prin- 
 cipal shall deem best. 
 
 "Lectures on the different branches pursued, and on related top- 
 ics, to be given by gentlemen from abroad, as the Board of Visitors 
 shall direct, and also bv the teachers and more advanced scholars. 
 
20 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 :t The order of the studies in the course may be varied in special 
 cases, with the approval of the Visitors." 
 
 The Board of Education, on February 3d, 1869, voted, "that a 
 Supplemental Course of Study, occupying two years, be introduced 
 into each of the four Normal Schools, which shall comprise the 
 Latin, French, Higher Mathematics, Ethics, Natural Sciences, and 
 English Literature." The object of this advanced course, is to give 
 to young persons of decided ability the opportunity to prepare them- 
 selves, thoroughly, to meet the constantly increasing demand for well- 
 trained .teachers in the higher grades of the public schools. 
 
 Pupils who, on entering the school, have in view the comple- 
 tion of this higher course, may take a part of its studies in connec- 
 tion with a part of the branches in the shorter course, and in this 
 way, at the end of four years, be prepared to graduate from both 
 courses simultaneously. This arrangement gives the students the 
 benefit of the study of the languages in connection with the study of 
 the other branches of the course 
 
 Length of the Course of Study. The course of study was 
 arranged for one year, at the- beginning, but during the first six years 
 pupils were required to remain in the school only two terms, and these 
 need not be successive, so that practically, the course of required 
 studies extended through two terms, and after the second term 
 scholars were permitted to select their studies. 
 
 From the beginning of the twentieth term, August 5, 1846, to the 
 beginning of the forty-fifth term, March 21, 1855, the course of re- 
 quired studies was three successive terms of fourteen weeks each. 
 After the first term, pupils were allowed to select one or two of the 
 permitted studies in addition to the required studies. 
 
 From the forty-fifth term, March, 1855, to the beginning of the 
 sixty-fifth term, March, 1865, the required course was three succes- 
 sive terms of twenty weeks each. 
 
 Since March, 1865, the required course has been four successive 
 terms of twenty weeks each, and the course has been so full as to 
 occupy all the time of the pupils without any optional studies. Any 
 pupils who desired have extended their course through additional 
 terms, and have thus taken such additional studies as they chose 
 in connection with existing classes. 
 
 Since 1869 the advanced course has furnished full opportunity for 
 extending the course of study. 
 
 Each extension of the course has been caused by the demand for 
 higher qualifications in the graduates of the school. The pupils 
 have felt the need of more thorough preparation and have gladly 
 
GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOL. 21 
 
 improved the opportunity to get it, so that the effect of each exten- 
 sion has been to increase the number of pupils in attendance, and to 
 elevate the character of the school. A course of three years is none 
 too long to meet the demands made upon the graduates of the school 
 at the present time. 
 
 Certificates and Diplomas. Certificates, written and signed by 
 the Principal, were given to those who satisfactorily completed the 
 required course of study until May, 1861, when the Board of Educa- 
 tion, having provided a handsomely engraved diploma, voted, "That 
 one of these diplomas be given to each member of the graduating 
 classes in future, for which no charge shall be made. And any 
 graduate desiring a copy on parchment may receive such upon pay- 
 ment of the actual cost." 
 
 The diploma is signed by the Secretary of the Board of Educa- 
 tion, the Visitors of the School, and the Principal.

OLD TOWN HALL, BRIDGEWATER, 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 25 
 
 MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 
 
 The school was opened September 9, 1840, in the Old Town Hall, 
 with a class of twenty-eight pupils, twenty-one of whom were ladies, 
 under the tuition of Nicholas Tillinghast, as Principal. The next 
 day a convention was held in Bridgewater, at which addresses were 
 delivered by Governor Morton, Horace Mann, and others, and then 
 the school started upon its career. 
 
 The Town Hall, pleasantly situated at the corner of Bedford and 
 School streets, was a one-story wooden building, forty feet by fifty, 
 standing upon a brick basement which was occupied as a dwelling. 
 The lot and basement were owned by a citizen, and the Hall by the 
 town. The town granted the free use of the Hall to the Normal 
 School, for a term not exceeding three years. At the expiration of 
 this time the Hall was sold to the owner of the lot, so that for the 
 next three years the school lived in a hired house at a rental of fifty 
 dollars a year. 
 
 The interior of the Hall was a large room divided by a matched 
 board partition, without paint, extending through the middle length- 
 wise, and so constructed that the lower half could be raised and the 
 whole school be in one room, or this half could be lowered, thus leav- 
 ing the entering class with the Assistant in one room, and the second 
 term pupils with the Principal in the other. A small room for appa- 
 ratus, and another for a dressing room for the ladies, completed the 
 suite of rooms occupied by the School. The school room was fur- 
 nished with the primitive style of furniture, a pine board seat with a 
 straight back attached to the desk behind. A high platform on three 
 sides of the room brought the teachers prominently into view before 
 the pupils Here, in this simple laboratory, by the sheer skill and 
 genius of its Principal, the "experiment" of a State Normal School 
 in the Old Colony was successfully performed. "The truth is," said 
 Horace Mann, in 1846, "though it may seem a paradox to say so, 
 the Normal Schools had to come to prepare a way for themselves, 
 and to show by practical demonstration what they were able to 
 accomplish. Like Christianity itself, had they waited till the world 
 at large called for them, or was ready to receive them, they would 
 never have come." 
 
 FIRST PERIOD OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 The time of Mr. Tillinghast's administration may, with reference 
 to the attendance and the quality of work which could be secured, 
 
26 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 be divided into two periods. The first period was from the com- 
 mencement of the School to August, 1846, the first nineteen terms, 
 in which pupils were required to attend two terms, which need not 
 be successive. The second was from the beginning of the twentieth 
 term, August 5, 1846, to the close of his administration, June 28, 
 1853, the end of the thirty-ninth term, during which pupils were re- 
 quired to remain three successive terms of fourteen weeks each. 
 
 During the first period the attendance was very irregular. Pupils 
 would attend one term, then remain out and teach one or more terms 
 before returning. The young men were out in the winter, the young 
 women in the summer. Some terms the school would be composed 
 almost entirely of different pupils from those of the term before. A 
 new class was received at the commencement of each term. The 
 average number of the entering class for the first period, was twenty- 
 one. The average number of pupils in school per term, was forty- 
 eight. The largest number for any one term was seventy-nine. 
 
 The irregularity of attendance had such a depressing influence 
 upon the work of the school, as to call forth from Mr. Tillinghast, on 
 the 9th of August, 184'5, the following letter to Hon. Horace Mann,j 
 the Secretary of the Board of Education : 
 
 "I hereby transmit to you, to be laid before the proper authority, 
 my resignation of my situation as Principal of this school, to take 
 effect, unless an earlier date is desired, at the close of this term. 
 
 11 1 had the honor, some time since, to lay before the Board of 
 Education my opinion of the extreme disadvantage to the cause of 
 Normal Schools, of the rule by which a pupil is allowed to remain 
 here one term, to return at some future, indefinite time; and offered 
 my advice, founded on my experience here, that scholars should be 
 received for no time less than a year. I feel it to be impossible for 
 me to carry on the School effectively in the fluctuations to which it is 
 subject, and therefore feel impelled, for the good of the School, to 
 withdraw from my present situation." 
 
 The resignation was not accepted. In May, 1846, the Board of 
 Education passed an order requiring pupils to remain in the School 
 for three consecutive terms. 
 
 The movement of the School at this time will be apparent from the 
 following extracts from a catalogue of the School, published in 1844, 
 at the end of its fourth year : 
 
 Object of the Institution. "It seems to be a prevalent error in 
 the community that attendance at Normal Schools will surely make 
 good teachers, that any one ought to become an efficient instructor 
 by remaining at these Schools for a few months. This institution 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 27 
 
 does not boast of any such powers ; but, on the other hand, all it 
 claims to do, and all it can effect, is to afford aid and encouragement 
 to those faithfully striving to learn their duty ; to such as, animated 
 by love for their race, are willing to devote their best energies to 
 the advancement of the highest interests of man. Such, only, are 
 wanted at this School, such, only, are suitable to have intrusted to 
 their care the promises of the coming age. It should be distinctly 
 understood that this School has no power to make good teachers of 
 the dull, the idle, and those wholly wanting in enthusiasm, or even 
 interest for the young. A teacher must educate himself; the Normal 
 School will assist him. Its teachers will give him the fruits of their 
 experience ; it and they can do no more." 
 
 Requisitions for Admission. " Applicants for admission are re- 
 quired to present themselves on the morning of the first day of the 
 term, at the school room, to undergo an examination in Reading, 
 Spelling, Writing, Geography, Grammar, and Arithmetic. Both 
 sexes are received : males not under 17, and females not under 16 
 years of age. Each applicant is required to bring a certificate, tes- 
 tifying to his or her good character, induslrious habits and intellectual 
 ability. Persons entering the school must do so with the intention of 
 remaining for, at least, two terms, which need not be successive, and 
 of teaching in Massachusetts. Individuals from other States may at- 
 tend the school by paying tuition according to the rates charged in 
 the Bridgewater Academy ; or, by declaring their intention to pursue 
 the business of teaching within the limits of this State, may be ex- 
 empted from payment of tuition fees." 
 
 Course of Study. " The entering class will, during the term, be 
 required to attend to the following studies : Reading, Spelling, Enun- 
 ciation, Writing, Geography, Physiology, Composition, Grammar, 
 and Arithmetic. The male portion of the class will receive instruc- 
 tion in their duties as citizens of the State and nation. 
 
 "The studies required of those attending for the second term are 
 Reading, Writing, Spelling, Enunciation, De Sacy's General Gram- 
 mar, and the School and School Master. Pupils may pursue other 
 studies if they choose, and if the Principal thinks it advisable. 
 
 " After their second term, scholars are permitted to select for them- 
 selves from the branches taught in the school those they prefer to 
 attend to. These are, in addition to those already enumerated, Alge- 
 bra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, 
 Surveying, Navigation, Application of Algebra to Geometry, Astron- 
 omy, Natural, Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, Natural History, 
 Book-keeping by single and double entry, Logic and Rhetoric. 
 
28 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 There are lectures delivered every week before the whole School, 
 upon the duties and employments of teachers. The subject of Natu- 
 ral Philosophy is illustrated by suitable apparatus. A well selected 
 library for the use of the School, is kept in the building occupied by 
 the School." 
 
 Regulations. "The year is divided into three terms, of 14 weeks 
 each. Pupils are required to be present at the commencement, and 
 to remain until the close of the term, unless good and sufficient 
 reasons can be given for not so doing. Most of the class books are 
 furnished to the scholars, at a reasonable rate for their use, to be re- 
 turned at the end of the term. The entering class are required, at 
 present, to furnish themselves with Webster's Grammar and Mitchell's 
 School Geography. The charge to each pupil for w r ood, sweeping, 
 &c., together with use of books, rarely exceeds one dollar per term. 
 Certificates will be given by the Principal to such students who have 
 attended the school for one year, as he may judge, from their ability 
 and proficiency to merit them. A certificate will be given to no one 
 who has not attended a full year. 
 
 THE PERMANENT LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 At the end of three years the success of the Normal Schools had 
 been such that they were no longer to be considered an experiment, 
 and the Legislature appropriated a sum sufficient for their support 
 for another three years ; henceforth they were to be among the per- 
 manent institutions of the Commonwealth, and buildings more suita- 
 ble, convenient, and permanent were required for them. This 
 school had increased so much that the accomodations were entirely 
 inadequate. 
 
 "The idea of providing suitable buildings for the Normal Schools, 
 originated with some thirty or forty friends of popular education, 
 who, without distinction of sect or party, had met in Boston, in the 
 the winter of 1844-'5, to express their sympathy with Mr. Mann, 
 and who desired, in some suitable way, to express their approbation 
 of his course in the conduct of the great and difficult work of 
 reforming our common schools. It was at first proposed to bestow 
 upon Mr. Mann some token evincive of the personal and public 
 regard of its donors ; but it was suggested that it would be far more 
 grateful and acceptable to him to furnish some substantial and effi- 
 cient aid in carrying forward the great work in which he had been 
 engaged, and in removing those obstacles and hinderances both to 
 his own success and to the progress of the cause, which nothing but 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 29 
 
 an expenditure of money could effect. No way seemed so well 
 adapted to this purpose as the placing of the Normal Schools upon a 
 firm and lasting basis, by furnishing them with suitable and perma- 
 nent buildings ; and the persons present thereupon pledged them- 
 selves to furnish five thousand dollars, and to ask the legislature to 
 furnish a like sum for this important purpose." 
 
 During the session of the Legislature, in 1845, a memorial signed 
 by Charles Sumner, R. C. Waterston, Gideon F. Thayer, Charles 
 Brooks, and William Brigham, was presented, setting forth the 
 utility of the system of Normal Schools, in the training and prepara- 
 tion of teachers, and the want of proper accommodations at two of 
 the schools, in buildings, apparatus, and libraries. The memorial 
 concluded by asking for an appropriation of five thousand dollars, 
 to be placed at the disposal of the Board of Education, for these 
 purposes, on condition that a further sum, of the same amount, to be 
 obtained by. contribution from the friends of the cause, should be 
 placed at their disposal for the same object. 
 
 The Committee on Education, in the House, to whom the memo- 
 rial was referred, unanimously recommended that the prayer of the 
 memorialists be granted. March 10th, a resolve was passed author- 
 izing and requesting the Governor, with the advice and consent of 
 the Council, to draw his warrant for the sum of five thousand dollars, 
 in favor of the Board, when the same sum should be placed at their 
 disposal by the memorialists; the two sums to be spent by the 
 Board, in providing suitable buildings for the Normal Schools, and 
 in purchasing apparatus and libraries therefor. 
 
 Charles Sumner gave his bond for the five thousand dollars 
 pledged by the memorialists. 
 
 The Board of Education agreed to appropriate twenty-five hun- 
 dred dollars for the school in Plymouth County, provided the same 
 amount should be raised by individuals. 
 
 "The question of location was again to be settled. The people of 
 Plymouth pledged the amount required, and made strenuous efforts 
 to have it removed to that town. The citizens of Bridgewater were 
 also ready to comply with the conditions of the Board, and thought 
 that as they had been at all the expense of the establishment of the 
 school, and had furnished buildings free from rent for three years, 
 when it was considered only as an experiment, that now, when it was 
 to be made permanent, and new buildings were to be erected, it was 
 not fair that Plymouth, which had paid nothing, should be placed on 
 an equal footing with them." 
 
 May 28, 1845, the Board of Education met at Boston, to hear the

 parties and decide upon the location. The citizens of both towns 
 presented the claims of their respective towns with much earnest- 
 ness. After listening with patience to the arguments of the parties 
 interested, the Board decided that the school should be established at 
 Bridgewater. 
 
 Measures were immediately taken for the erection of a suitable 
 building. Plans and specifications were obtained, and proposals for 
 erecting the building were called for ; but no contract could be made 
 for the amount at the disposal of the Board, and the matter was 
 delayed for some time, with no prospect of success. At length Mr. 
 Mann came forward and gave his own obligation to make up the 
 deficiency. A contract was then made with Mr. David Bartlett, of 
 Kingston, who executed the work in a very faithful manner. 
 
 On settling the cost of the building, it was found to exceed the 
 funds in the hands of the Board of Education, about eight hundred 
 dollars. One hundred of this sum, in addition to a previous sub- 
 scription, was paid by Hon. Artemas Hale, of Bridgewater, who has 
 always been one of the strongest friends and supporters of the 
 School, and the balance was paid by Mr. Mann. The sum advanced 
 by Mr. Mann was afterward reimbursed from the State Treasury. 
 
 The building was a plain edifice, of the Tuscan order, constructed 
 of wood, sixty-four feet by forty-two, and two stories in height. The 
 upper story was divided into a principal school-room forty-one feet 
 by forty, and two recitation rooms, each twenty-one feet by twelve. 
 This story was designed for the Normal School. The lower story 
 was divided into a Model School room, a Chemical room, and two 
 ante-rooms. Blackboards extended entirely around each of the 
 school rooms. The main school room had an entablature. Each 
 room was supplied with neat, new furniture. The location was 
 excellent ; upon a corner lot one and one-fourth acres in extent, and 
 having an eastern slope. The light, cheerful, convenient rooms and 
 the pleasant surroundings of the building, made it one of the most 
 attractive school houses in the State.

 DEDICATION OF THE SCHOOL HOUSE. 
 
 The completion of the new edifice for the accommodation of the 
 School was signalized by appropriate exercises, on the 19th of 
 August, 1846. Dedicatory addresses were made by Hon. William 
 G. Bates, of Westfield, and His Excellency, Governor Briggs. The 
 audience then adjourned to the Unitarian Church, and listened to an 
 address from Amasa Walker, Esq., of Brookfield, the orator of the 
 Bridgewater Normal Association, which held its annual convention 
 on this day. After these addresses the company partook of a colla- 
 tion in the Town Hall, on which occasion the health of the Secretary 
 of the Board of Education was given by the President of the day, 
 and received by the company with enthusiastic applause. To this 
 sentiment Mr. Mann responded as follows : 
 
 "Ma. PRESIDENT: Among all the lights and shadows that ever 
 crossed my path, this day's radiance is the brightest. Two years 
 ago, I would have been willing to compromise for ten years' work, 
 as hard as any I had ever performed, to have been insured that, at 
 the end of that period, I should see what our eyes this day behold. 
 We now witness the completion of a new and beautiful Normal 
 School-house for the State Normal School at Bridgewater. One 
 fortnight from to-morrow, another house, as beautiful as this, is to be 
 dedicated at Westfield, for the State Normal School at that place. 
 West Newton is already provided for by private munificence. Each 
 Normal School then, will occupy a house, neat, commodious, and 
 well adapted to its wants ; and the Principals of the schools will be 
 relieved from the annoyance of keeping a Normal School in an 
 fl-Normal house. 
 
 " Let no man who knows not what has been suffered, has been 
 borne and forborne, to bring to pass the present event, accuse me of 
 an extravagance of joy. I consider this event as marking an era in 
 the progress of education, which, as we all know, is the progress 
 of civilization, on this western continent and throughout the 
 world. It is the completion of the first Normal School-house ever 
 erected in Massachusetts, in the Union, in this hemisphere. It 
 belongs to that class of events which may happen once, but are inca- 
 pable of being repeated. Coiled up in this Institution, as in a 
 spring, there is a vigor whose uncoiling may wheel the spheres. 
 
 " In tracing down the history of these schools to the present time, 
 I prefer to bring into view, rather the agencies that have helped, 
 than the obstacles which have opposed them. 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 33 
 
 "I say, then, that I believe Massachusetts to have been the only 
 State in the Union where Normal Schools could have been estab- 
 lished ; or where, if established, they would have been allowed to 
 continue. At the time they were established, five or six thousand 
 teachers were annually engaged in our common schools ; and proba- 
 bly nearly as many more were looking forward to the same occupa- 
 tion. These incumbents and expectants, together with their families 
 and circles of relatives and acquaintances, probably constituted the 
 greater portion of active influence on school affairs in the State ; 
 and had they, as a body, yielded to the invidious appeals that were 
 made to them by a few agents and emissaries of evil, they might 
 have extinguished the Normal Schools, as a whirlwind puts out a 
 taper. I honor the great body of common school teachers in Mas- 
 sachusetts for the magnanimity they have displayed on this subject. 
 I know that many of them have said, almost in so many words, and 
 what is nobler, they have acted as they have said: 'We are con- 
 scious of our deficiencies : we are grateful for any means that will 
 supply them, nay, we are ready to retire from our places when 
 better teac'hers can be found to fill them. We derive, it is true, our 
 daily bread from school-keeping, but it is better that our bodies 
 should be pinched with hunger than that the souls of children should 
 starve from want of mental nourishment, and we should be unworthy 
 of the husks which the swine do eat, if we could prefer our own 
 emolument or comfort to the intellectual or mental culture of the 
 rising generation. We give you our hand and our heart for the glo- 
 rious work of improving the schools of Massachusetts, while we 
 scorn the baseness of the men who would appeal to our love of gain, 
 or of ease, to seduce us from the path of duty.' This statement 
 does no more than justice to the noble conduct of the great body of 
 teachers in Massachusetts. To be sure, there always have been 
 some who have opposed the Normal Schools, and who will, proba- 
 bly, continue to oppose them as long as they live, lest they them- 
 selves should be superseded by a class of competent teachers. 
 These are they who would arrest education where it is ; because 
 they cannot keep up with it, or overtake it in its onward progress. 
 But the wheels of education are rolling on, and they who will not go 
 with them must go under them." 
 
 THE SECOND PERIOD OF THE SCHOOL. 
 
 Two weeks after the commencement of the twentieth term, August 
 19th, 1846, the school entered the new house. It was filled to over- 
 
34 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 flowing at once. One hundred two pupils were in attendance ; the 
 main room had desks for eighty-four. Pupils were required to attend 
 three terms in succession, and the school started forward into a more 
 vigorous life. From that day forward it has grown like a thrifty oak, 
 rooting itself more firmly, and stretching its branches more widely in 
 each succeeding year. 
 
 The following extracts from the catalogue of the school, published 
 in 1849, will indicate its course during the last seven years of Mr. 
 Tillinghast's administration : 
 
 Regulations. No one is received into the school who does not pro- 
 fess an intention of becoming a teacher, and then only under the fol- 
 lowing rules : 
 
 Applicants for admission must present themselves for examination 
 on the first day of the term. They must present a certificate of 
 good moral character. Males must be at least seventeen , and females 
 at least sixteen years of age. 
 
 No one is received for less than three successive terms. Those 
 who enter must pass an examination in Reading, Writing, Spelling, 
 Grammar, and Arithmetic. It is perhaps impossible to state very 
 definitely what will be regarded as a satisfactory examination ; but it 
 may be said, that the applicant will be required to read fluently, so as 
 to call words without hesitation ; to write legibly, and with sufficient 
 rapidity ; to spell correctly, at least two-thirds of the words given 
 out ; to be able to discriminate the different parts of speech ; to con- 
 jugate verbs, to decline pronouns, etc., and to parse simple sen- 
 tences ; to be able to perform arithmetical operations, which may in- 
 clude the use of vulgar fractions. 
 
 Tuition is gratuitous to those who intend to become teachers in the 
 Common Schools of this State. The class-books are furnished by 
 the school. Each pupil pays a dollar a term, which covers all the 
 incidental expenses, including the use of books. 
 
 Board is to be had in private families at about two dollars per 
 week. 
 
 Course of Study. The school year is divided into three terms of 
 fourteen weeks each. 
 
 Studies of First Term. Arithmetic, mental and written ; Me- 
 chanics, Physiology, Grammar, Geography of North America, and 
 the Drawing of Maps. 
 
 Studies of Second Term. Arithmetic ; 'Hydrostatics and Pneu- 
 matics ; General Grammar ; Punctuation ; Parsing ; Physical Geog- 
 raphy ; Geography of South America and Asia. 
 
 Studies of Third Term. Astronomy; Book-keeping; Optics; 
 
MR. TiLLINGHAST's ADMINISTRATION. 35 
 
 Electricity, etc. ; Theory and Practice of Teaching ; Parsing ; Ge- 
 ography of Europe, Africa .and Oceanica. 
 
 During all the terms, all the pupils attend regularly to Reading, 
 Enunciation, Writing Abstracts, Essays, etc., and Spelling. The 
 above are the required studies ; no pupil is allowed to omit any of 
 them.. 
 
 Among the -permitted studies are Algebra, Geometry, Trigonom- 
 etry, Surveying, Intellectual Philosophy, Rhetoric, Natural History, 
 Constitution of Massachusetts and of the United States. 
 
 After the first term, pupils are allowed to select one or two of these 
 studies. 
 
 Those who have finished, satisfactorily, the whole course, are at 
 liberty to choose all their studies. 
 
 At the close of each term, the school is examined in the presence 
 of the VISITORS ; and every graduate who gives satisfactory evidence 
 of proficiency, is entitled to a certificate. 
 
 THE MODEL SCHOOL. 
 
 The early plans of the Board of Education provided a Model 
 School, or School of Practice, in connection with each Normal 
 School, composed of children of the neighborhood who were to be 
 taught by the Normal pupils under the eye and direction of their 
 teachers. 
 
 This school was kept the first six years in a small school-house 
 erected for the purpose by the Centre School District of the town, 
 just south of the Old Town Hall, in which was the Normal School. 
 This " Model School " house is now the school-house in District No. 
 7, in Bridgewater. Afterward the Model School was kept in the 
 model, school-room in the lower story of the Normal school-house. 
 
 From July 28, 1841, to. November 8, 1842, the pupils of the Nor- 
 mal School had charge of the Model School. November 30, 1842, 
 at the beginning of the ninth term, Miss Ruby Potter was appointed 
 its Principal, and taught it, with occasional interruptions from ill 
 health, till the end of the eighteenth term, March 10, 1846. During 
 her absence, Mr. Mertoun C. Bryant had, for the most part, charge 
 of the school. 
 
 Miss Deidamia Chase was appointed Principal, April 1, 1846, the 
 beginning of the nineteenth term, and continued in charge till her 
 death, September 30, 1847, in the twenty-third term. One of the 
 pupils taught till the end of that term. 
 
 Miss Fanny Leonard was Principal from December 1, 1847, the 
 
. 
 
 I 
 36 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 beginning of the twenty-fourth term, till the close of the Model School, 
 March 12, 1850, the end of the thirtieth term. 
 
 The Model School was under the direct and daily supervision of 
 the Principal of the Normal School, and its Principal was appointed 
 by him. The school-room was well furnished and provided with the 
 appliances for good teaching. The Principals were superior teach- 
 ers. The Normal pupils were required to spend at least two weeks 
 of their senior term in actual teaching, as Assistants of the Principal 
 of the Model School, after a period of careful observation of the meth- 
 ods of the school. The main object was to give the Normal pupils 
 practice in teaching children, under the supervision and criticism of 
 the Principal of the Normal School, and the Principal of the Model 
 School. 
 
 From November 30, 1842, the Principal of this school was allowed 
 $250 a year, which, till July, 1846, was made up as follows: The 
 Board of Education paid $100 a year, Mr. Tillinghast paid $100 a 
 year, and the first School District of Bridgewater, paid $50 a year. 
 From July, 1846, a tuition fee was required of each pupil, which, 
 with the appropriation of the Board, was sufficient, till a short time 
 before the close of the school, to pay the teacher's salary. 
 
 Practice teaching in the model school was not very attractive to the 
 Normal pupils. Those who had taught before coming to the Normal 
 School felt that they were not specially benefited by this practice, 
 and those who had never taught before, did not become sufficiently 
 interested to appreciate the work, and some parents preferred that 
 their children should not be " experimented with." Mr. Tillinghast 
 was quite willing that the school should be discontinued. It was 
 closed in March, 1850, and has never been revived. 
 
 MR. TILLINGHAST'S IDEA OF A NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 The following extracts from a letter written by Mr. Tillinghast, in 
 1851, for publication in Barnard's Journal of Education, give his 
 views of the kind of Normal School required at that time, founded 
 upon an experience of eleven years as the head of this school : 
 
 " It seems to me that these schools are doing good. My own schol- 
 ars have, I think, succeeded as well as I could reasonably expect. 
 Many have failed ; indeed, many from whom I looked for success ; 
 others have continued to keep schools, but doing no better, for aught 
 that I know, than they would have done without staying a year here ; 
 but still I cannot feel disappointed. 
 
 "There are, it seems to me, grave defects in the constitution of my 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 37 
 
 school. Four years would, in my judgment, be profitably given to 
 the subjects which we touch on in one. If pupils must be taught 
 subjects in these schools, as I think they must for a time, under the 
 best organization, the course ought to extend over three years, at 
 least. 1 think it would be a better plan for the present, to receive 
 pupils for, say twenty-one weeks, and to give that time to reading, 
 spelling, arithmetic, and geography ; and in another twenty-one 
 weeks, to take up reading, spelling, physiology, grammar ; so that 
 only a few studies should be in the school at a time, and teachers 
 might go for a term without interfering with their teaching school. 
 The great evil now, in my school, is the attempt to take up so many 
 studies, most persons inverting the truth, and supposing the amount 
 acquired the important thing, and the study unimportant. But I 
 should be content if I could bring pupils into such a state of desire 
 that they would pursue truth, and into such a state of knowledge that 
 they could recognize her when overtaken. A very few studies, and 
 long dwelling on them this is my theory. I have no especial be- 
 lief in teaching others methods of teaching. I do not mean that the 
 subject should be entirely passed by ; but that pupils should not be 
 trained into, or-directed into particular processes ; it seems to me that 
 each well instructed mind will arrive at a method of imparting, better 
 for it than any other method. I therefore have tried to bring my pu- 
 pils to get at results for themselves, and to show them how they may 
 feel confident of the truth of their results. I have sought criticism 
 from my scholars on all my methods, processes^ and results ; aimed 
 to have them, kindly of course, but freely criticise each other: and 
 they are encouraged to ask questions, and propose doubts. I call on 
 members of the classes to hear recitations, and on the others to make 
 remarks, thus approving and disapproving one another; they are 
 called. upon to make up general exercises, and to deliver them to their 
 classes, sometimes on subjects and in styles fitted to those whom they 
 address ; sometimes they are bid to imagine themselves speaking to 
 children. I find I am getting more into details than I intend, or you 
 wish. My idea of a Normal School is, that it should have a term of 
 four years ; that those studies should be pursued that will lay a found- 
 ation on which to build an education. I mean, for example, that 
 algebra should be thoroughly studied as the foundation for arithmetic ; 
 that geometry and trigonometry should be studied, by which, with 
 algebra, to study natural philosophy, etc ; the number of studies 
 should be comparatively small, but much time given to them.- I, of 
 course, do not intend to write a list of studies, and what I have said 
 above is only for illustration : the teacher should be so trained as to 
 
38 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 be above his text books. Whatever has been done in teaching in all 
 countries, different methods, the thoughts of the best minds on the 
 science and the art of instruction, should be laid before the neophyte 
 teachers. In a proper Normal School there should be departments, 
 and the ablest men put over them, each in his own department. Who 
 knows more than one branch well P 
 
 " I send herewith a catalogue of my school, which will give you 
 some idea of its osteology ; what of life these bones have, others 
 must judge. But when shall the whole vision of the Prophet be ful- 
 filled in regard to the teachers of the land, * And the breath came 
 into them and they lived and stood upon their feet (not on those of 
 any author) an exceeding great army.' 
 
 "God prosper the work, and may your exertions in the cause be 
 gratefully remembered." 
 
 THE WORK DONE BY MR. TlLLINGHAST. 
 
 Mr. Tillinghast was Principal of this school for thirteen years, a 
 period of service much longer than that of either of his coadjutors in 
 the other two Normal Schools, and he devoted himself unsparingly 
 to the work of establishing it upon broad and deep foundations. By 
 his persistent, thorough, self-forgetting, and noble work, he exerted 
 an influence that will not cease to be felt among the generations of 
 this Commonwealth. No one man has done, more to stimulate the 
 thought and improve the work of teaching in this State than Mr. 
 Tillinghast. When he entered upon his work these schools for 
 teachers, simply "had leave to be." The Board of Education had 
 given them the name "Normal Schools," but both the schools and 
 the name were new to the people, and the schools had to demonstrate 
 by the results they produced that they were worthy of support. The 
 State did not fully adopt them till 1845, when the Legislature, in 
 making an appropriation for their support for the third period of 
 three years, christened them "State Normal Schools." The difficul- 
 ties which had to be overcome would have appalled a man of less 
 heroic temper. The want of a suitable building and the appliances 
 for good teaching was a very great hinderance, and pupils who came 
 from well furnished schools in other places, expecting better things 
 in this school, were greatly disappointed on finding such meagre pro- 
 visions. The short period of attendance during the first six years of 
 the School made it extremely difficult to carry out a definite course of 
 study, or to improve very much the qualifications of the pupils, yet 
 the school must be judged by its fruits as manifested in these pupils 
 
39 
 
 when they went out to teach. The appropriations of the Legislature 
 for the support of the School were insufficient to meet its most press- 
 ing wants, especially in providing such assistant teachers as were 
 necessary. During the larger part of the first year, and all of the 
 third year, Mr. Tillinghast conducted the School without any assist- 
 ant. .He had to spend all the school hours in teaching, and work far 
 into the night to prepare for his daily exercises. Courses of Study 
 in the several branches must be wrought out, the .subject matter and 
 the methods of teaching must be carefully considered, for he was 
 teaching teachers, and his work must be a model for them. The 
 want of apparatus and of assistants must be supplied by increased 
 skill and effort on the part of the Principal ; he must be the factotum 
 of the school. Only those who have had a similar experience can 
 appreciate the amount of work which he performed, and it was 
 always thoroughly done. 
 
 In addition to all this exhausting -toil, he was called upon to make 
 pecuniary sacrifice as well. When he took charge of the school his 
 salary was fixed at fourteen hundred dollars a year, and he was paid 
 at that rate till January, 1844, at which time the Board of Education 
 reduced his salary to twelve hundred dollars a year, on account of 
 insufficient appropriations by the Legislature. Mr. Tillinghast im- 
 mediately signified his intention to resign, but Mr. Mann's urgent 
 solicitations, and his own interest in the success of the Normal School 
 experiment, induced him to remain at his post. From his salary, 
 thus reduced, he paid one hundred dollars a year toward the salary 
 of the principal of the Model School, that the people of the town to 
 whom this school had been promised as an inducement for them to 
 contribute funds for the Normal School, might not be disappointed 
 by its discontinuance. 
 
 From July 1, 1849, his salary was thirteen hundred dollars a year 
 till January, 1851, when it was placed by the Board at fifteen hun- 
 dred dollars a year. The provision for Assistant Teachers was very 
 small. In March, 1841, the Board of Education appropriated from 
 the small sum granted by the Legislature, six hundred dollars a year 
 for the salary of an assistant ; this was continued till July, 1849, when 
 each of the two assistants was allowed four hundred dollars a year. 
 After May 28, 1851, the First Assistant was allowed seven hundred 
 dollars a year, and the Second Assistant four hundred dollars a year. 
 During the later years of his teaching, Mr. Tillinghast's health had 
 become so much impaired by his unceasing toil that he was obliged 
 to hire extra Assistants and pay them from his own salary ; though 
 he was constantly at his post, with the exception of a part of one term, 
 till the time of his resignation. 
 
40 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 After his death, in 1856, the Legislature of that year, recognizing 
 the justness of his claims upon the State for the deficiency in his sal- 
 ary and the amounts \vhich he had paid for the Model School and for 
 extra Assistants, passed the following: " Resolved, That there be 
 allowed and paid out of the Treasury of this Commonwealth, to Mrs 
 Ruby H. Tillinghast, and William H. Tillinghast, the widow and 
 child of Nicholas Tillinghast, late Principal of the Normal School in 
 Bridgewater, the sum of eighteen hundred ten dollars and eighty- 
 two cents." 
 
 Mr. Tillinghast left the school June 28, 1853, and died April 10, 
 1856, after years of severe physical suffering. He was buried in the 
 Cemetery at Bridgewater, and his tomb-stone bears the following 
 inscription : 
 
 " His purity of heart, independence of mind, and elevation of soul, 
 exhibited the value of the truths which he loved to teach. 
 
 His PUPILS, 
 
 To whom he taught the pricelessness of truth, gratefully raise this 
 stone to his memory."

 MEMOIR OF NICHOLAS TILLINGHAST. 
 
 BY RICHARD EDWARDS. 
 
 [An Address delivered before the Annual Convention of the Graduates of the State Normal School at Bridge 
 water, Mass., on the 3oth of July, 1856. Published in Barnard's American Journal of Education.] 
 
 FELLOW TEACHERS AND FELLOW PUPILS: 
 
 WE have met in social and friendly gathering for many years. 
 There are doubtless those here who formed a part of that small band, 
 with whose help, the school of which we have been pupils, was first 
 launched upon the voyage of its existence. Year after year, as oc- 
 casion would permit, they with others have come up to this, the 
 scene of their former labor, to feel the softening influences of early 
 associations upon those hearts which the business and turmoil of life 
 do so much to harden and deaden ; or perhaps to renew here where 
 they were first consecrated to a noble profession, their vows of devo- 
 tion to its Irying but exalting and responsible duties. Some of these 
 occasions have been joyous. The familiar salutations of friends, 
 from whom we have been for- a season parted, the warm grasp of the 
 friendly hand, the mutual recital of experiences, the sight of the well 
 known village and its landscapes, these have been the most promi- 
 nent circumstances of a convention, and have forever associated with 
 our gatherings the most gladdening recollections. But all has not 
 been joy; there have also been times of sorrow. Death, that 
 spares no band, has not withheld his hand from ours. Again and 
 again our ranks have been thinned by his unerring shafts. One after 
 another, the young, the promising, those to whom we look for 
 noble deeds in the future, have fallen by our side, and we have 
 mournfully betaken us to our journey alone. 
 
 But whatever change may have met our eyes here, we always, ex- 
 cept on a single occasion, until one year ago, were cheered by the 
 countenance, and encouraged by the words of one whom we loved as 
 our teacher, and venerated as a noble illustration of the Christian 
 man. At our last meeting, we were informed that ill health kept 
 him in a distant part of the State. To-day, we miss him again, and 
 even the faint ray of hope with which we then solaced ourselves, has 
 
42 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 been extinguished. Our hearts are saddened by the knowledge that 
 he has departed from our midst, and that while we continue bound 
 to this lower world, our separation from him is final. This, indeed, 
 is a new experience, and one for which) notwithstanding what we 
 knew of the inroads of disease upon his system, we were scarcely 
 prepared. And even with the positive knowledge we now possess, it 
 is hard to realize the saddening truth. It almost seems as if a con- 
 vention could not be held without his presence. We can scarcely 
 conceive of the scene without the central figure that was wont to give 
 dignity to it, and to kindle the enthusiasm of us all. 
 
 But the sad reality must be contemplated, and on the present oc- 
 casion it is fit that we should express for his memory, in some suita- 
 ble way, the respect and affection which we all profoundly feel, and 
 to impress upon ourselves the lesson taught us by his life and his 
 death. And in our expressions of respect and sorrow, I am quite 
 sure there will be none of the cold formality which is sometimes ex- 
 hibited. For if there is any vice which the very remembrance of 
 him would rebuke in a manner more marked than another, it is the 
 vice of pretence, the ostentatious profession of a sentiment which 
 we do not entertain. No, our grief is real ; our tribute of respect 
 unfeigned. We dare not profane the memory of one so invariably 
 loyal to the truth and truthfulness, with any offering that comes not 
 from the heart ! 
 
 NICHOLAS TILLINGHAST, the first principal of the State Normal 
 School at Bridgewater, was born at Taunton, Bristol County, Massa- 
 chusetts, on Saturday the 22d of September, 1804. He was the 
 second son, and seventh child, of Nicholas Tillinghast, Esq., at that 
 time, one of the most prominent members of the Bristol Bar. He 
 early exhibited the germ of inflexible adherence to what he con- 
 sidered the right, and that elevated and correct tone of moral feeling, 
 wlych, in later years, expanded into the controlling principle of his 
 life. 
 
 At a proper age he was sent to the Bristol Academy, at Taunton, 
 where he pursued the studies usually attended to in those days by 
 lads who were to prepare for college. It had probably been the in- 
 tention of his father to give him a college training, but the father's 
 death, which occurred in April, 1818, left the family in circumstances 
 that induced them to relinquish this project, and the young man was 
 taken out of the Academy, and placed in the office of a lawyer. 
 Here he continued for about two years ; and in June, 1820, through 
 the aid of Hon. Marcus Morton, at that time a member of Congress, 
 an appointment to a West Point cadetship was obtained for him. 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 43 
 
 Thus was the whole course of his life changed ; and instead of the 
 smooth and pleasant path of a New England student, he was or- 
 dained to enter upon the rough marches and toilsome labors incident 
 to a life in the United States Army. Speculation as to the degree of 
 usefulness he might have attained, if such change had not occurred 
 is vain ; perhaps the wisest cannot with any confidence offer an opin- 
 ion upon the subject. For those whom it intends for high usefulness, 
 Providence always furnishes the necessary culture, whether they be 
 reared in the cot or in the palace ; whether they are trained in the 
 cell of the student, or amid the hardships of frontier life. There can 
 be no doubt, however, that the severe mental discipline of the Mili- 
 tary Academy, the self-reliance induced by the active duties of the 
 graduated officer, are, to those possessed of moral stamina enough to 
 endure them and make proper use of them, excellent preparations 
 for the business of teaching. They not only contribute mental 
 strength, but accustom the mind to act promptly from its own judg- 
 ment formed upon the spot ; and this readiness in deciding is a valu- 
 able attainment to one whose vocation calls him to immediate decision 
 many times in the day, and upon very important questions, which 
 is in a high degree the case with the teacher. 
 
 Mr. Tillinghast's course as a cadet was in keeping with his general 
 character. As a scholar, he does not appear to have been brilliant, 
 but we doubt not he was always reliable. It is something to say of him 
 that he passed successfully the several examinations to which every 
 cadet is subjected. Of his own class, consisting originally of seventy 
 members, only thirty-one were able to come out of the ordeal un- 
 scathed, at the end of four years. That he was among the thirty-one 
 will certainly appear to his credit as a scholar, when it is remembered 
 that he was one of the twelve youngest in the class on being admitted. 
 But he occupied by no means a low position in the class thus elimi- 
 nated. His number on the merit roll was thirteen, "which," in the 
 language of the venerable Col. Thayer, at that time Superintendent 
 of the Academy, "was a highly respectable standing, considering 
 that he was then the youngest but five in his class, and that in schol- 
 arship, the differene between him and most of those above him was 
 very slight." Those who have learned all they know of his success 
 as a student at West Point from his own conversation in respect to it, 
 will be surprised to learn that he stood so high ; for here, as every- 
 where, his own estimate of his labor and of its results was very far 
 short of that placed upon them by others. Indeed the standing here 
 indicated is precisely that which, from his character, we should ex- 
 pect to find him occupying. It does not indicate the possession of 
 
44 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 splendid and showy powers, but rather of a mind solid, reliable, 
 thinking more of the quality than of the quantity of its acquisitions, 
 acquiring carefully, so that every new truth learned should become 
 a part of the mind itself, and be a support and strength to it when the 
 Academic course should close, and the special stimuli there applied 
 should be withdrawn. 
 
 He graduated on the first day of July, 1824, and was commissioned 
 as a second Lieutenant in the Seventh Regiment of Infantry. After 
 serving for three years on the Western frontier, he was attached to 
 the Military Academy as an instructor .in Chemistry, Mineralogy and 
 Geology ; and having performed the duties of that situation for two 
 years, he again joined his regiment in the West. In August, 1830, 
 he was reattached to the Academy as Assistant Professor of Ethics, 
 and continued to act in that capacity until December 1834, when, 
 being promoted to a captaincy, he again went to the frontiers, and re- 
 mained in command of a company in Arkansas for nearly two years. 
 He resigned his place in the Army in 1836. 
 
 We doubt not that Mr. Tillinghast, while an officer in the Army, 
 discharged his duty faithfully and to the satisfaction of his superiors. 
 But his tastes and feelings were ill-adapted to that mode of life. He 
 found good and noble men among the officers under whom he served 
 and with whom he was associated, but we think we may say with 
 truth that his experience of military life deepened in his mind the 
 dislike for war and all its paraphernalia. He was emphatically a 
 man of peace, in feeling and in principle. 
 
 During his residence in the western forests and prairies, he suffered 
 much from diseases incident to those regions, fever and ague and 
 other complaints ; and his friends think that his physical powers were 
 essentially weakened during his stay in Arkansas. His resignation 
 was undoubtedly caused by this circumstance, joined to the distaste 
 for military life, to which allusion has already been made. 
 
 From the time of his leaving the army until his appointment by the 
 Board of Education, in 1840, to take charge of the Normal School 
 at Bridgewater, Mr. Tillinghast was a teacher in Boston. For the 
 most of his time he taught a private school, fitting young men for 
 West Point, for engineers, &c. He was also for a short time an 
 instructor in the English High School at Boston, and always enter- 
 tained a great respect for Mr. Sherwin, the accomplished head of 
 that instituiion. 
 
 It was while laboring in this quiet and retiring manner that he was 
 sought out by Hon. Horace Mann, then Secretary of the Board of 
 Education, and invited to accept the Principalship of the School 
 
45 
 
 which it was proposed to establish at Bridgewater. After serious 
 consideration, and with great reluctance, he finally consented to 
 accept the post. On this occasion, as always, he distrusted himself. 
 He shrunk from assuming the grave responsibility belonging to the 
 situation. To be a teacher of teachers seemed to him a great thing, 
 and he did not look upon himself as fitted to accomplish great things. 
 Verily the history of man does occasionally furnish examples of a 
 judgment erring on the side of modesty. 
 
 In order to understand the importance of the work which Mr. Til- 
 linghast was called upon to do, and the consequences depending 
 upon it, we may find it useful to recall some facts in regard to the 
 establishment of the Normal Schools in Massachusetts. The estab- 
 lishment of these schools was not a measure first proposed by a leg- 
 islative committee, and put into operation wholly at the State's ex- 
 pense. On the contrary, it was proposed by individuals, and for the 
 first three years of their existence, the State bore much less than half 
 the expense of supporting them. Three years, it was judged, would 
 be sufficient for trying the experiment, for testing the plan of train- 
 ing teachers for the public schools at the public expense. At the end 
 of three years, of course, the whole expense of their continuance 
 would come upon the State. Under these circumstances, it will be 
 easy to see that the duty of the teachers of the Normal Schools was 
 no sinecure. It was required of these teachers, that, with exceed- 
 ingly imperfect instrumentalities, they should demonstrate to the fru- 
 gal voters of the Commonwealth, the utility of a set of institutions 
 that were to take from the State treasury large sums for the erection 
 of school buildings, and ultimately, thousands of dollars annually 
 for their ordinary support. For feeble humanity this would seem to 
 have been task enough; but in addition to all this, they were com- 
 pelled to encounter a fierce opposition from many teachers, who 
 thought their own field of labor encroached upon by the new, and 
 hitherto unheard of, State seminaries. Surely, under these circum- 
 stances, success was a great achievement, and the fact that success 
 was attained, speaks the praise of those earnest teachers more loudly 
 than any words of mine can do it. It may, I know, be urged, with 
 truth, that the schools had good friends in the Legislature and else- 
 where, and that the Secretary of the Board was a gentleman of 
 superior ability, extended culture, great influence, indomitable reso- 
 lution, and unflinching devotion to the .cause, in which, at a great 
 personal sacrifice, he had engaged. The earnest support of all these 
 was necessary to the successful establishing of these institutions. If 
 any of them had been wanting, the scheme must have fallen through. 
 
46 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 But every friend of popular education has reason to be thankful, that 
 in the trying hour they all stood bravely at their posts ; that the Sec- 
 retary had counted the cost before entering upon the war ; that mem- 
 bers of the Legislature, regardless of self and self-interest, gave 
 their energies to the support of a measure which has so abundantly 
 improved the character of the public schools ; that the teachers, in 
 spite of many obstacles, such as the brief period during which their 
 pupils were under their instruction, the want of suitable buildings 
 and apparatus, and the influence of the opposition already men- 
 tioned, still persisted in their noble work, with a faith that removed 
 the mountains in their path, and an industry that knew no fatigue. 
 
 But it will be especially useful for us to enquire what means our 
 teacher took to prepare himself for the work which he regarded as of 
 such importance. The school at Barre, which went into operation 
 on the 4th of September, 1839, had been placed under the charge 
 of Professor Samuel P. Newman, of Bowdoin College. Mr. Tilling- 
 hast, when he had finally concluded to accept the appointment 
 offered him, proceeded to Barre, and spent six months in observing 
 the methods, and studying the principles adopted by Prof. Newman 
 in his school. During this time, he prepared many manuscripts of 
 lectures and explanations for his own use in his new position. Every 
 subject on which he was to give instruction was carefully thought 
 out, and the results of his thoughts were committed to paper for future 
 use. This work of six months, however, was but the beginning of 
 what may be called his preparatory labor. Every exercise was care- 
 fully considered before it was to come on, usually on the night be- 
 fore ; and very frequently it happened that midnight found and left 
 him at his labors. And such watching was not atoned for by morn- 
 ing slumbers, for the early morning was likewise devoted to duty. 
 He was a believer in industry, in the power of earnest work, and 
 maintained that nothing truly valuable can be accomplished without 
 it. When he had thus prepared himself, as well as the brief space 
 of time, intervening between his appointment and the commence- 
 ment of his labors would permit, he entered upon his duties as Prin- 
 cipal of the Normal School at Bridgewater, on the 9th of Septem- 
 ber, 1840. 
 
 Here, and at this time, no doubt, began the great work of his life. 
 Whatever may have been his success in his previous employments, it 
 is not likely that it was such as to make him particularly eminent. 
 But in the Normal School, his position soon became a marked one. 
 Upon the public schools of the Commonwealth, he has exerted a tell- 
 ing influence for their elevation and improvement. This influence is 
 
47 
 
 felt not only in those schools which are under the direct charge of his 
 pupils, but also in hundreds of others, where his name was never 
 heard. His spirit, his views, his methods, seem to have become part 
 and parcel of our educational system, they seem like the waters of 
 a clear stream, to impart their own purity to the wave with which 
 they mingle. They float about in the educational atmosphere, and 
 are inhaled by all who breathe it. There is no especial part of the 
 system which he originated ; no institution which he founded or en- 
 dowed, or to which he gave a name. These may be called the ma- 
 terial or corporeal parts of a people's educational means. But he 
 furnished much of what we may consider the soul, the animating 
 principle that moves this otherwise dead machinery. He built no 
 schoolhouses, but he built the character of many an earnest and suc- 
 cessful teacher. And as the teacher is more valuable than the 
 school-house or school system, however valuable these may be, as 
 the soul. is nobler than the tenement in which it dwells, so was his 
 life a nobler benefaction to the cause of education, than if it had 
 been spent in endowing institutions or framing systems. Travel over 
 our Commonwealth ; visit elsewhere hundreds of school-houses of 
 every degree of architectural pretension, from the lowly, weather- 
 stained cabin in the field or forest, to the costly structure that graces 
 the attractive avenue in the city ; and you will find his pupils in 
 them all, and all, without exception, ready to attribute to him the 
 elements of their highest success. 
 
 As a teacher, Mr. Tillinghast had many striking characteristics. 
 In the first place, he acquired a power over his pupils, men and 
 women, that we think is seldom attained. To mere lookers on, it 
 seemed like a sort of fascination, and even to the objects of it, the 
 pupils themselves, it was often a mystery. For he used none of the 
 arts commonly practiced to secure the good opinion and attachment 
 of men. On the contrary, his manner towards those who were not 
 more or less familiar with him, was sometimes thought to be cold, 
 distant, reserved. Even in his intercourse with his pupils, he was 
 far from habitually adopting that freedom and ease of manner which 
 often makes school so pleasant. And yet, we may venture to say 
 that the instances are very rare, in which a teacher is so earnestly, 
 and at the same time so universally beloved by his pupils as was Mr. 
 Tillinghast. The true secret of this power of his over his pupils, 
 which enabled him to fill them in a great measure with his own 
 spirit, as well as of the remarkable affection which they entertained 
 towards him, the secret of all this lay in his personal character, in 
 that quiet but unflinching devotion to principle, that heroic and real 
 
48 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 abnegation of self, which to those who knew him intimately, appeared 
 as the ruling trait of his moral nature. His words, being few, and 
 well considered, were very impressive, and yet, not so much for what 
 he said as for what he was., did he exert so positive, so salutary, and 
 so extended an influence. His pupils were fully persuaded of the 
 soundness of his judgment, his unswerving integrity of purpose, his 
 perfect sincerity and scrupulous justice ; and in this persuasion, they 
 seemed to surrender themselves unconditionally to his influence.. 
 His devotional exercises in the school were always conducted with 
 great simplicity of manner, but with a power which his pupils can 
 never forget. His reading of the Scriptures, and of those brief, 
 earnest and devout prayers, in his calm and serious manner, was an 
 exceedingly impressive exercise. The words sounded through the 
 perfectly quiet room like the voice of inspiration. He did not dis- 
 card the teaching of religion and morals, by word or by book, but in 
 these departments, he depended mainly upon that silent teaching 
 which a man of strong religious feeling, and pure character will in- 
 fuse into the very atmosphere of a school-room. One of the natural 
 results of this course was, that when he did employ words for enforc- 
 ing some religious or moral truth, they made a deep and distinct im- 
 pression upon the listener's mind, and the precepts imparted were, in 
 many instances, never forgotten. His power was particularly appar- 
 ent when some delinquency on the part of a pupil, made it necessary 
 to administer reproof. On such occasions, his words were very few, 
 and by no means severe, and yet they very deeply affected those to- 
 whom they were addressed. I never knew a pupil of his who did 
 not shrink even from the mildest reprimand from him. The mere 
 knowledge on the part of a pupil, that Mr. Tillinghast disapproved 
 of his course, even where no disapprobation had been expressed, 
 was a burden which very few could endure. I do not think that in 
 the management of his school, he can be said to have been fertile in 
 expedients. He ruled by the force of his own exalted character, by 
 his earnestness and faith. His remedies for delinquency were, in the 
 main, general ; he did not resort to one expedient with one person, 
 and to another with the next, but he approached all in the same 
 straight forward and frank manner. This course is not to be com- 
 mended to every teacher ; most of us need to vary our modes of 
 reproof or punishment, according to the character of the individual 
 to be affected. Our moral power is too feeble ; it cannot bend the 
 stubborn will, or arouse the slumbering energies of our pupils, with- 
 out the aid of schemes devised by the intellect. But in Mr. Tilling- 
 hast, the moral power was so well developed that it seemed to bear 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 49 
 
 down all opposition before it, without the aid of shifts and expe- 
 dients, and for himself, his mode of proceeding was undoubtedly the 
 best. 
 
 Of his character as a teacher of the intellect, we may also say that 
 it was distinctly marked. His most notable trait in this respect 
 was something similar to what is usually expressed by the word thor- 
 oughness. And yet this word does not fully exhibit the idea. There 
 was thoroughness in his teaching, but there was also another element, 
 which if we could coin a word, we might call logicalness, an ar- 
 ranging of the subject taught according to the character and wants of 
 the mind to be instructed. In every operation, there was not only 
 thorough knowledge, but thorough reasoning. Every point was not 
 only to be thoroughly understood, but it was to be understood ration- 
 ally ; it was to be understood not only by itself, but also in its rela- 
 tions. The pupil was himself required to discover if possible, or at 
 least to appreciate, the connection between one part of the subject 
 and another, to see how much of one statement could be inferred 
 from a previous one. Mere thoroughness in the knowledge of facts, 
 or of principles learned and remembered, is a very different matter 
 from the thoroughness that characterized the teaching of Mr. Tilling- 
 hast. The one can be accomplished by the industry of the pupil ; 
 the other requires, in addition, careful thought and ready skill on the 
 part of the teacher. His great weapon, by the help of which he ac- 
 complished his work in the recitation-room, was the asking of ques- 
 tions. And his questions were always framed with a view of ascer- 
 taining, in respect to the subject of the lesson -what the pupil knew, 
 and how he knew it, and the casual interrogative was so frequently 
 employed in his exercises, that his pupils were in the habit of calling 
 it the "eternal -why." He had rare skill in arranging his questions, 
 so as to expose every false opinion, every illogical conclusion. How 
 many times has the glib and fair-seeming explanation been shown to 
 be hollow and unmeaning by his searching interrogatories 1 How 
 often have ignorance and sophistry been forced suddenly to stand out 
 in their native deformity, as at the touch of an Ithuriel's spear, when 
 in guise of knowledge and wisdom, they had been silently but surely 
 working the destruction of thorough study and good mental habits ! 
 And how many teachers rejoice, to-day in having had their eyes first 
 opened by these thorough and faithful recitations ! 
 
 From this it will appear that Mr. Tillinghast was a teacher, an 
 educator, one who considered his employment an art, to be rightly 
 practiced only by those who in some way have studied its principles. 
 It is scarcely necessary for me to add here that he was entirely in- 
 
50 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 different as to where or how such study had been pursued, provided 
 only it had been thorough and efficient. He thoroughly knew what 
 he was to teach, no man better, but he also knew how the knowl- 
 edge must be imparted in order to promote the mental culture of the 
 pupil. His recitations were quiet, he employed in them very few 
 words, and yet they were full of earnest thought both on his own part 
 and on that of the .scholars. Indeed, the most noticeable thing about 
 his recitations was their tendency to awaken thought in the pupil. 
 And this we should be prepared to expect from knowing how they 
 were conducted. Every individual was required to stand upon his 
 own feet, and when he made a statement, to make it from his own 
 perception of its truth. There was no trading on borrowed capital, 
 or if circumstances seemed to indicate that this was attempted, that 
 something was confidently stated, which had been received by the 
 pupil upon authority, when it ought to have been reached by his own 
 thought, how soon a skillful question, calling for an exhibition of the 
 vouchers, became the occasion of a failure ! 
 
 It may not be uninteresting to state here that Mr. Tillinghast was 
 of the opinion that it would be neither well nor expedient to make 
 the Normal Schools exclusively professional, in the sense of excluding 
 from them every study except that of the science and art of teaching. 
 Indeed, his own instruction in this latter department was, in a great 
 measure, though not entirely, imparted indirectly and in connection 
 with the teaching of other things. And let it not be thought, on this 
 account, that he considered it of trifling importance. By no means ; 
 for a considerable portion of time was devoted entirely to this subject 
 in his own school. But when we speak of Mr. Tillinghast's giving 
 instruction indirectly, we must not forget that he had a power of 
 silent, and perhaps "unconscious" teaching, that produced great and 
 positive results. This we have already attempted to set forth. He 
 taught many things without uttering a word, that in the minds of his 
 pupils, have taken a distinct form, and become to them a sure guide. 
 
 But rather than say anything further of my own, concerning Mr. 
 Tillinghast's qualities as a teacher, I will take the liberty of repeating 
 the testimony of another of his pupils, a gentleman eminent in his 
 profession, occupying an important and honorable post connected with 
 the educational interests of another State, and who was for long and 
 intimately acquainted with our beloved teacher. This testimony seems 
 to me so just and well expressed that I introduce it even at the risk of 
 some slight repetition : 
 
 "He was a truly religious man, and in the highest and best sense ; 
 for his religion manifested itself in his life and deeds, rather than in 
 
MR. TILLINGH AST'S ADMINISTRATION. 51 
 
 his words. He always sought to know the right, and to do it ; to 
 seek the path of duty and to follow it, lead where it might. 
 
 " He was sincere and true in his dealings with himself and with 
 others, neither doing or saying anything merely for effect. He cen- 
 sured the wrong because it was wrong, and commended the right he- 
 cause it was right, and showed by his life that his own standard of 
 action corresponded to that which he indicated to others. 
 
 "He was truly and unaffectedly modest. He forced you to think 
 of the subject he presented rather than of himself. He never pressed 
 himself, his opinions, or his school on the notice of others. He 
 sought no expression of their good opinion, and deprecated not their 
 ill opinion. While at times he may have felt that his school did not 
 receive that attention from without which it deserved, and that his 
 work was not fully appreciated by any save his own pupils, he would 
 by no act or word call attention to it. He was content to labor on, 
 believing that the time would surely come when the result of his work 
 would be made manifest, whether he should be known in it or not. 
 
 " He had that high self-respect which led him to respect others. 
 He therefore appealed to worthy motives only. Everything like trick- 
 ery and deception he despised, in teacher as well as in pupil. Hence 
 he could never tolerate those whom he could not trust. He had a 
 deep sense of personal responsibility, and sought, with great suc- 
 cess, to inspire others with it. 
 
 " His words of reproof were few, yet apt. There was no escaping 
 them. They never came undeserved, they were always direct, al- 
 ways kindly spoken, and always 'told home.' 
 
 " Though at first reserved and apparently cold and distant, he was 
 very warm-hearted and generous, sympathetic and kind. Happy in- 
 deed were they who came to know him intimately. 
 
 "He was industrious, earnest, and devoted. He allowed himself 
 no idle hours, and discouraged all idleness in others. He believed 
 that ' nothing good was ever come by without labor,' and regarded in- 
 dustry as a duty. Hence, he never did his pupils' work for them. 
 He would guide them in the right track, and indicate methods of 
 overcoming difficulties, but nothing more. His suggestions and ex- 
 planations, and the assistance he rendered never did away with the 
 necessity of thought on the part of the pupil, but rather made it the 
 more necessary. With him no glibness or readiness could conceal or 
 atone for a want of study ; nor could self-distrust or diffidence hide 
 the evidence of faithful preparation. 
 
 "Almost invariably accurate, he was ever ready to acknowledge 
 any error he had made. The sentence, f l was wrong in my state- 
 
BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 ment or opinion,' fell from his lips, though very, very rarely called 
 for, as easily as did the contrary one, 'You were wrong.' He never 
 sought to hide, or explain away, or excuse erroneous statement or 
 explanation which he had, made ; but always endeavored to correct 
 it. He was very successful in exciting a similar spirit in his pupils. 
 
 "He had a great analytical power. While he could grasp a subject 
 as a whole, he could also comprehend all its parts, could trace their 
 relations to each other, and could determine the proper place and im- 
 portance of each. To this power he was indebted, I think, for the 
 great clearness of his explanations. 
 
 "He had a great love for thoroughness, thoroughness in study, in 
 teaching, in everything. Especially was he thorough in investigating 
 and teaching the first principles of a science. In his view, a deficien- 
 cy there was fatal. He held his pupils to a point till they mastered 
 it, and could appreciate something of its relations. Those accus- 
 tomed to superficial views, sometimes complained at first of their slow 
 progress : but, when the work was done, and they were prepared for 
 a higher course, they felt its value. 
 
 "In his teaching he was strictly inductive; developing his subjects 
 easily and naturally, and removing difficulties, and explaining just 
 enough to stimulate to exertion. He would question closely, and 
 would make his pupils feel their ignorance and need of study, without 
 humiliating them. 
 
 "He usually read character very readity and accurately, though he 
 was sometimes deceived. This, however, but seldom happened. He 
 understood his pupils much better than they thought he did, and 
 knew much of their thoughts, feelings and habits of life." 
 
 To this testimony I will only add a few considerations in regard to 
 Mr. Tillinghast's character as a man. As has already been intimated, 
 the great distinctive feature of his character was his constant reference 
 to principle, in respect to every act. 
 
 His judgment of others, and especially of his friends, was kind 
 and liberal. He was always very lenient toward the faults of his 
 assistant teachers, excusing in them many deficiencies that he would 
 have severely censured in himself, and expressing great satisfaction 
 with their performances, when it was morally certain that he would have 
 regarded similar things in himself as of very little worth. 
 
 His practical benevolence, although it made serious drafts upon his 
 moderate salary, was conducted strictly upon the Christian plan, his 
 left hand never knowing what his right hand was doing. Many a 
 man could tell of substantial aid received from him in greatest need, 
 and the books of benevolent and reformatory associations would show 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 53 
 
 no meagre sums accredited to his name, were it not that the name 
 was most frequently withheld, when the gift was delivered. Where 
 prudence and benevolence came in apparent conflict, and either of 
 them was called to give way, that duty generally fell to the share of 
 the more cautious virtue. All generous reforms had in him a warm 
 sympathizer, and a prompt supporter ; and his firm and consistent 
 anti-slavery was not without the usual accompaniments of obloquy 
 and social proscription. Naturally he was a man of strong feelings, 
 both of liking and aversion. He was the firm friend, not exacting, 
 but liberal, making his friendships more valuable to his friends than 
 to himself. His aversions were not for persons, but qualities. He 
 was really impatient of certain vices, such as deceit, pretence, the 
 putting on of false appearances, the arrogating to one's self of excel- 
 lencies to which there was no claim, the doing of things for mere ef- 
 fect, and similar maneuvering. His own conduct was outspoken and 
 straightforward, and his feeling of contempt for the opposite course 
 was very strong. But, he was free from suspicion, very slow to at- 
 tribute bad motives, unwilling to believe evil of those about him ; and 
 it was only upon very strong evidence, that men came under his con- 
 demnation. 
 
 In his religious feeling, he was habitually earnest and devout; but 
 his devotion did not obtrude itself upon men's observation, and draw 
 attention to itself. It was a modest, firm, constant, deep-seated, calm 
 and trusting devotion. At the time of his death, and for many years 
 before, he held the office of deacon in the Unitarian church at Bridge- 
 water. We believe he was a Christian, for, otherwise, we know not 
 how to interpret that teaching of our Saviour : " By their fruits shall 
 ye know them : a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit." 
 
 Mr. Tillinghast's modesty made him exceedingly disinclined to 
 appear before the public as an author, and we are not aware that he 
 ever did so except in two instances. About the time of his appoint- 
 ment to Bridgevvater, he prepared a work on Geometry for the use of 
 schools ; and, a short time before the close of his connection with the 
 school, he published an excellent collection of prayers for schools, 
 consisting of such as he had himself used, while at Bridgewater. 
 This book is highly prized by his pupils, both on account of its in- 
 trinsic merit, and because its perusal serves to recall most vividly the 
 memory of their teacher, in one of the most interesting exercises of 
 their school-days. 
 
 In the way of history, little more can be, at present, said. Long 
 continued hard work gradually enfeebled and finally overpowered, a 
 slender physical frame. In July, 1853, he left the school, as it was 
 
54 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 then hoped, to return to it in the course of a year. But his body had 
 become the prey of that fatal disease, consumption ; and, notwith- 
 standing the efforts of skillful physicians, and a winter's residence in 
 Florida, he continued to sink in strength, and, on the 10th day of 
 April, 1856, he died, in the fifty-second year of his age. For some 
 time before his death, he had suffered much from severe fits of cough- 
 ing, and had some apprehension that he should pass away in one of 
 these convulsions. But, it was not so ordered. He encountered the 
 "king of terrors" calmly and serenely, passing gently from a quiet 
 sleep to the repose of death. He died the death of the Christian, 
 rejoicing in the hope of immortality, and, with his last breath, com- 
 mitting his spirit to the Father who gave it. His remains lie upon 
 the southern slope of the southern hill in the beautiful cemetery at 
 Bridgewater, at a point that overlooks the pleasant village which was 
 so long the scene of his labors, where the sun smiles upon his rest, 
 as his Heavenly Father smiled, in the hour of death, upon his return- 
 ing spirit. 
 
 We are told, in Scripture, that the limit of our life is three score 
 years and ten, and that the strength which carries us beyond is labor 
 and sorrow. From this declaration, it may be inferred that, as a 
 general rule, the ages of men who duly observe the laws of their 
 being, will approach, more or less nearly, the limit here established. 
 Men, who receive their bodies and souls as gifts from God, which 
 they are to watch and keep with jealous care ; who do not poison the 
 life-currents of the one with the artificial stimulants to a depraved ap- 
 petite, nor shake the foundations of the other by the upheavings of 
 ungoverned passion ; 'such men may be expected to approach in their 
 journey, the utmost confines of human life, and to pass away amid 
 the consolations of a green old age. 
 
 But, there are, sometimes, crises in human affairs ; times when the 
 development of some great principle, or the illustration of some truth 
 not known to the multitude of men, demands that the work of many 
 years shall be crowded into one ; or, that the power of truth shall be 
 illustrated in one glorious moment of martyrdom ; when, at the call 
 of duty, life must either be shortened by an intense devotion to a great 
 work, or its thread be suddenly snapped as a testimony to the faith- 
 fulness of the laborer, and the greatness of the work in which he was 
 engaged. The higher life, the progress of the race, may require 
 the sacrifice of the lower life of the individual. Thus, we believe, 
 passed away the beloved teacher, whose memory we this day, with a 
 sad pleasure, recall. He entered the public educational field when 
 the skies were dark, when the star of hope had scarcely risen, and 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 55 
 
 was obscured by the cloud of an adverse public sentiment ; when the 
 Normal Schools were, even by their friends, considered only as an 
 experiment, and one that, in the opinion of many experienced and 
 able statesmen, would prove an entire failure. It was to a cause thus 
 unpromising that he gave the whole energy of his soul. With an 
 untiring industry, he devoted to his school his days and his nights. 
 He engaged in hard and continuous study, not from motives of ambi- 
 tion, but from a deep sense of responsibility in respect to his school, 
 and to its influence in advancing the cause of education. Nor did 
 the necessity for such study arise from a defective education, but 
 from a determination to adapt his instructions to the mental and 
 moral wants of his pupils, and of those whom they, in their turn, 
 were to educate. He was earnestly desirous that, so far as he could 
 exert any influence upon the character of the public schools, that in- 
 fluence should be good, should tend to their elevation and improve- 
 ment, and to the advancement of the cause of popular education ; 
 and this, not for his own sake, that he might acquire a reputation, 
 and occupy an honorable position in the sight of men, but for the 
 sake of the thousands whose hearts and minds are formed, in a great 
 measure, in [those conservators of New England virtue and intelli- 
 gence, the public schools. 
 
 Such were his aims, and the amount of labor which he thought 
 necessary to their accomplishment, could be sustained only by a robust 
 physical frame, and could be performed only by a well-balanced and 
 active mind, guided by the highest principles, and acting under the 
 influence of a determined will. For such a work we believe his men- 
 tal and moral endowments to have been eminently fit ;' but, in his 
 physical system, the necessary conditions were not supplied ; the 
 sword was too sharp for the scabbard, the energies of the spirit were 
 too mighty for the clay, and the mortal coil was shuffled off. Shall 
 we now say that his life was not sacrificed in the discharge of a high 
 and holy duty ; and, shall we doubt that Heaven approved the offer- 
 ing? Every heart instinctively answers, no. The exigency de- 
 manded the sacrifice. His example was needed to show us, his 
 pupils, what manner of spirit we must be of; with what forgetfulness 
 of self we must devote ourselves to the noble work whereon we have 
 entered ; how, with an eye single to the truth and the right, in spite 
 of difficulties and discouragements, we must still labor on, in patience 
 and in faith, believing that the harvest will surely come, whether we 
 are among the reapers or not. 
 
 And, was the work of Mr. Tillinghast worth such a sacrifice? 
 Did he, in his short life, achieve results at all commensurate with the 
 
56 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 time, the labor, and .the life that were devoted to them? Let the 
 appeal be made to every individual who ever enjoyed the benefit of 
 his instructions. My brother, or my sister, whence came your higher 
 views of life and its duties ? Who opened to your mind a new world 
 of intellectual life and moral perceptions, of which you had before 
 never had a glimpse? Who stirred your soul to higher aspirations 
 than you had ever felt, and roused it to nobler purposes than you had 
 as yet formed? Who waked up within you a moral energy that, 
 when you do not permit other influences to smother it, makes you 
 ashamed of low views of duty, of feeble and ill-directed effort, and 
 enkindles within you a glowing earnestness in your work? On this 
 point, I am sure that language fails to express what is deeply and 
 clearly felt in the heart of every pupil of his, who is with us to-day. 
 We all feel that the great work which he did for us, that which we 
 most highly value, is precisely that which can not be represented in 
 speech. The higher teaching was not conveyed to us in words, and 
 words can not impart it to others. If imparted at all, it must be by 
 the sympathy of spirit with spirit. If therefore, we would do for our 
 pupils what he did for us, we must teach as he taught, by possessing 
 ourselves the qualities with which we would have their characters 
 adorned, and by entering upon our work with a zeal and an earnest- 
 ness that will bring the minds of our pupils into sympathy with our 
 own ; remembering that only from the fullness of our own hearts, and 
 the perfection of our own characters, can we have the instruction to 
 impart; and, only by a glowing and energizing enthusiasm can we 
 make it efficient upon the character of others. 
 
 Such, friends and fellow-pupils, so far as my imperfect ability could 
 sketch him, in so brief a time, was the man at whose feet it has been 
 our high privilege as well as our delight, to sit in the attitude of rev- 
 erent and attentive listeners. I have endeavored to be strictly just, 
 to state not only the precise truth, but also to present that particular 
 combination of truths that would give the justest and truest idea of 
 the man. I have sought to weigh my words, to abstain from unwar- 
 ranted statements, and excess of panegyric, and I am confident that 
 my expressions fall below what you feel in your hearts. We all feel 
 that we are cherishing the memory of no ordinary man, and that the 
 language of an ordinary occasion is not adapted to our use to-day. 
 It is not only our teacher that has fallen, but a standard-bearer in the 
 great educational army. When we consider his exalted character, 
 and the parental relation in which he stood to us all, with what sin- 
 cerity, and what loneliness of heart, are we ready to exclaim : 
 
 " He was a man, take him for all in all. 
 I shall not look upon Jiis like again." 
 
MR. TILLINGHAST'S ADMINISTRATION. 57 
 
 On such an occasion as this, it seems eminently fit that the feelings 
 which we have been for years cherishing, without an opportunity for 
 public utterance should be freely expressed. Let us then lay upon 
 his grave the tribute of our respect and affection ; and, as we return 
 to the scenes of our accustomed labor, let us learn the lesson of this 
 experience, let us open our minds to receive and to cherish the influ- 
 ence that goes forth from the life and character of our departed friend 
 and teacher, and let us see that our own lives and the teachings we 
 impart, shall not be altogether unworthy of that which we have 
 received.

 MR, CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 
 
 THE SCHOOL. 
 
 MARSHALL CONANT, the second Principal of the school, entered 
 upon his duties at the commencement of the foriieth term, in August, 
 1853, and continued his service for seven years, till July, 1860. He 
 came to reside in Bridgewater in 1852, and was employed in connec- 
 tion with the Eagle Cotton Gin Company. His interest in all matters 
 pertaining to education was so great that it very soon opened the way 
 to a cordial intercourse with Mr. Tillinghast, and when the latter 
 resigned his position, he recommended the election of Mr. Conant as 
 his successor. Mr. Conant brought to the school a rich harvest of 
 ripe fruits gathered in other fields of labor, and immediately took up 
 the work where his predecessor left it, and carried it forward. The 
 increasing demand for graduates with higher qualifications, induced 
 many of the students to extend their course of preparation beyond 
 the year required to be spent in the school. In 1854 the Board of 
 Education recognized this demand and passed a vote that there should 
 be two long terms a year, instead of three shorter ones, in all the 
 State Normal Schools, and that pupils should slill be required to 
 attend three consecutive terms. This vote went into effect in March, 
 1855. 
 
 The following extracts from the Circular of the school indicate the 
 requirements during the last five years of Mr. Conant's administration : 
 
 Conditions of Admission. 
 
 Applicants for admission to this School must make an explicit de- 
 claration of their intention to become teachers. 
 
 Males must be at least seventeen years of age, and females at least 
 sixteen. 
 
 Each candidate for admission is required to present a certificate of 
 good moral and intellectual character, and must pass a satisfactory 
 examination in the common branches ; viz., Reading, Writing, Spel- 
 ling, Defining, Grammar, Arithmetic, and Geography. 
 
 All candidates for admission must present themselves at the School- 
 room at nine o'clock, A. M., of the first day of the Term. 
 

81 
 
 Terms. 
 
 The year is divided into two terms. The Spring Term commences 
 on the third Wednesday of March ; and the Fall Term on the third 
 Wednesday of September. Length of the Spring Term, nineteen 
 weeks ; length of the Fall Term, twenty-one weeks. 
 
 Course of Instruction. 
 
 The course of instruction embraces a period of Three Terms, and 
 the candidate for admission is required to attend these consecutively. 
 If, however, he is found to be qualified to enter advanced classes, his 
 connection with the Institution may be for a shorter period, but not 
 less than two terms. 
 
 The first term is considered as preparatory to a strictly Normal 
 course, to which the two other terms are specially devoted. The 
 studies of the first term are, for the most part, those usually taught in 
 the public schools of the State. In the other two terms, the Students, 
 besides attending to many of the higher branches, learn the Theory 
 and Practice of Teaching. Skill in acquiring and skill in imparting 
 knowledge is a distinctive feature of the course. 
 
 Branches of the Course. 
 
 Reading ; Writing ; Spelling ; Etymology ; Structure of the Eng- 
 lish Language ; English Grammar; Arithmetic; Algebra; Geom- 
 etry ; Physiology ; History of the United States, and General His- 
 tory ; Geography, both Physical and Political, with the Construction 
 of Maps ; Natural Philosophy ; Astronomy ; Surveying ; Book-keep- 
 ing ; Mental and Moral Philosophy ; Logic ; Rhetoric ; Composition ; 
 Latin ; School Laws of Massachusetts, and Constitution of the United 
 States. Also occasional lessons in Natural History ; and weekly 
 lessons in Music, by a skillful teacher. 
 
 Those who complete in a satisfactory manner the course of Stud- 
 ies here specified, are entitled to receive the Diploma of the Institution. 
 
 Tuition and Expenses. 
 
 Tuition is gratuitous to those who design to become Teachers in 
 the Public Schools of the State. To those from other States, who 
 do not become teachers in this, a fee of ten dollars per Term is 
 charged for tuition. 
 
 Board is usually two dollars and seventy-five cents per week, ex- 
 clusive of fuel and lights ; and one dollar and fifty cents is required 
 of every Student at the middle of each Term i to meet incidental ex- 
 penses. 
 
 It is expected also that each Student will furnish himself with a 
 copy of Lippincott's " Gazetteer of the World/' and with some other 
 8 
 
82 ' BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 smaller works ; the whole cost of which may amount to seven dol- 
 lars. All other Text-books are furnished to the Student free of charge. 
 
 Besides the Text-books, the Institution furnishes nearly five hun- 
 dred volumes of valuable works for reference in the various depart- 
 ments of education. This collection, though small, is increasing, 
 and is rendering very essential service to the Students of the Insti- 
 tution. And we would invite the friends of education who would 
 like to increase our means of laboring successfully to meet the wants 
 of the State, to remember our Library and Geological Collection. 
 Any donation to these would be most thankfully received, and put to 
 immediate use. 
 
 The School is open at all times to the public, and the friends of 
 education are made welcome within it. 
 
 Pecuniary Aid, 
 
 The State appropriates a thousand dollars a year for each of the 
 Normal Schools, to aid those Students of the Commonwealth who 
 find it difficult to meet the expense of attending one of these Institu- 
 tions without assistance. This aid is not granted during the first thir- 
 teen weeks of the course. Afterward, applicants for aid may ex- 
 pect to receive it as follows : Those who reside not over twenty miles 
 from the School, fifty cents per week ; those residing between twenty 
 and thirty miles, one dollar; and those over thirty miles, one dollar 
 and fifty cents per week. 
 
 If, however, the number of applicants in any Term should be 
 greater than to allow of these rates of distribution out of the regu- 
 lar appropriation for the Term, that amount will be distributed in 
 the -proportion of these rates. 
 
 Applications for this aid are required to be made to the Principal 
 in writing ', with good references. 
 
 Provision for pecuniary aid was first made April 30, 1853, by the Legislature passing a 
 resolve appropriating one thousand dollars annually to each Normal School, to be paid from 
 the moiety of the income of the School Fund applicable to Educational purposes, to aid 
 those members of the Normal Schools who find it difficult to meet the expenses necessa- 
 rily incurred by attending the same, the distribution to be left to the discretion of the Board of 
 Education, after consulting the Principal of each school. 
 
 The Plan of Study. 
 
 From the report of the Visitors of the School, made December 14, 
 1855, the following paragraphs are quoted as showing Mr. Conant's 
 views, and the plan of study which he arranged for the School. 
 This plan was followed for five years. 
 
 "The arrangement made by the Board requiring two long terms a 
 year, instead of three shorter ones, in the Normal Schools, has gone 
 into effect in this school during the past year. The longer period of 
 
MR. CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 83 
 
 study to be pursued by the attendants at this school, in addition to 
 other views of progress, has required some advance and extension in 
 the course of study. An attempt has been made to enlarge the scope 
 of these studies, so as to adapt them, as much as possible, to impart 
 mental strength and development, and an accurate and liberal cul- 
 ture, in view of the great object of the school. 
 
 " No little difficulty has been experienced in carrying out, at 
 Bridgewater, the expressed will of the Board relative to having a 
 Model School connected with each Normal School. Though the 
 citizens of the town manifest a disposition favorable to the interests 
 of the Normal School, and this disposition is, we think, increasing, 
 still, for various reasons, no connection of the School with any Town 
 School has been formed that has promised either permanence or 
 utility. The Principal has endeavored to establish such a connection 
 as would not only be mutually agreeable, but be especially efficient 
 in accomplishing the main design contemplated the practical train- 
 ing of the Normal Pupils. But his efforts have been fruitless, and 
 he has ventured to adopt certain methods of practical training within 
 the Normal School itself. The Committee are of the opinion that 
 this plan is worthy of special consideration. 
 
 "In his report at the close of the Winter Term, in January, 1855, 
 Mr. Conant observes : ' It has been a matter of much study and in- 
 vestigation with me, how to impart judicious instruction in respect to 
 teaching and management in our common schools, these instruc- 
 tions having reference more particularly to preparing the graduating 
 class during the last term of their course. After endeavoring to 
 awaken the conscience to feel the responsibilities and duties that devolve 
 upon the teacher, I have sought to draw out the experience of such 
 members of the class as have been engaged in the work. Here I 
 have found materials that come in naturally to deepen the interest in 
 these instructions, and apparently adapted to make them effectual. 
 
 'I have also selected individuals (each taking his turn) to give 
 exercises in teaching before the class ; after which I have called for 
 suggestions and criticisms from its different members, adding also my 
 own. In this way there seems to have been produced something of 
 a very -practical and available character to aid the pupils in their 
 future work ; in its nature, however, not showy. 
 
 ' ' In respect to didactics, it has appeared to me that they must be 
 given more or less at every lesson, and in connection with the sub- 
 jects in hand. Ways and methods, authors and their works, 
 seem to come up then in a natural course, and with impressive dis- 
 tinctness, and thus to be of practical value.' 
 
 "During the succeeding term, he introduced the arrangement, 
 
BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 since continued, by which certain recitations are conducted by the 
 more advanced students, in the classes less advanced. This arrange- 
 ment is noted in the Plan of Study herewith presented. 
 
 " In his report at the close of that term in August, he says : ' From 
 further experience, I am more convinced of the adaptation of these 
 methods to giving instruction in regard to teaching and discipline in 
 our public schools. In connection with the careful study of the 
 School Laws of the State, and of the Constitution of the United 
 States, I find it very easy to lead on the minds of pupils to a just con- 
 ception of the necessity of good government in our schools, and of 
 the importance of real character in the teacher.' 
 
 "And in a report made a day or two since, he remarks : ( So far as 
 I am able to judge, this course of studies appears to be admirably 
 fitted for our special object that of preparing competent and skill- 
 ful teachers for our public schools. The feature of it, which seems 
 to promise much, is that of requiring pupils by turns to go thoroughly 
 into the practice of teaching. This arrangement gives the Principal 
 an opportunity of rendering more effectual aid in the attainment of 
 good methods ; and, in some measure, of making the theory of 
 teaching become a matter of life and reality. 
 
 " 'As an element looking to the same end, and also for securing 
 more practice in the application of the principles involved in the les- 
 sons, I have divided a large class into sections of five or six pupils 
 each, with a leading pupil for each section. These leading pupils 
 conduct a part of the recitation in their own sections, in the presence 
 of the teacher. This affords the teacher an opportunity to discover 
 the special wants of each pupil, and to adapt his instructions accord- 
 ingly. The design is to have these sections different for two or three 
 of the branches pursued, in order to bring as many of the pupils 
 as possible into the actual business of teaching.' 
 
 "A few words may be allowed in fuller explanation of the Plan of 
 Study herewith presented, and in reference to the method of using it. 
 
 "The three terms of study in the school, naturally occasion the 
 division of the pupils into three classes, designated as Junior, Middle 
 and Senior. The plan exhibits the branches of study, and the days 
 and hours when they come up in recitation, so that each pupil sees at 
 a glance what his work is, and when it will be required. This plan, 
 in manuscript, is placed under glass in a frame. The right side of 
 the frame is so cut as to allow a piece of Bristol board, on which are 
 written the names of certain advanced pupils as teachers, at certain 
 hours, to be passed in and out at pleasure. This piece of board is 
 represented on the right of the table of studies, and is changed with 
 a change of these pupils."

 Progress of the School. 
 
 During the sixteen terms in which Mr. Conant had charge of the 
 school, the appliances for school work were much improved. He 
 secured the construction of a large alcove for the reference library, in 
 the south end of the main school-room ; the addition of a large num- 
 ber of valuable books to the reference library, and to the library for 
 general reading ; a set of full length anatomical plates of the human 
 body ; large historical, geological, and geographical maps and charts ; 
 and valuable pieces of apparatus, some of which he invented and 
 constructed. In the latter part of this period the number of pupils 
 in attendance increased to nearly one hundred, which was more than 
 the building could conveniently accommodate More room and bet- 
 ter arrangements were much needed, and Mr. Conant prepared and 
 presented to the Board of Education plans for the enlargement of the 
 building. These plans were not accepted, but the discussion of them 
 prepared the way for success in providing for this improvement. 
 
 At the close of the summer term in 1860, Mr. Conant was com- 
 pelled, by ill health, to resign his place. The Visitors, in their report 
 of the school, speak of him in the following language : " During his 
 long connection with the school, Mr. Conant, by his accuracy of 
 scholarship, his skill as an instructor, his industry and fidelity, had 
 always secured and maintained the high regard of the pupils, and 
 had given entire satisfaction to the Board of Education, and his neces- 
 sary resignation of office was universally regretted."

 A MEMORIAL ADDRESS ON MARSHALL CONANT. 
 
 * 
 
 Delivered by A. G. BOYDEN, before the " Bridgewater Normal Association," 
 at Bridgewater, July 15, 1874. 
 
 The Traveller slowly wending his way up the mountain side, often 
 passes from the bright sunshine into the deep shadow of a massive 
 cloud floating slowly along the summer sky above. Looking out 
 from this shadow he sees with clearer vision the broad landscape in 
 the sunlight beyond. As he toils on, nearing the mountain top at 
 the close of day, he enters a thick cloud which shuts from his view 
 all below, and the night hangs dark and heavy about him. When 
 the day dawns, and the sun comes up, sometimes the cloud that caps 
 the summit lifts for a moment, and he catches a glimpse of the valley 
 in sunlight below, seeming like another world ; then the cloud lowers, 
 and all is dark again. Frequently in the early morning, the clouds 
 sink a little below the summit, and the light and dark cumulus masses, 
 rolling arid surging in every conceivable variety of form, fill the 
 whole horizon ; as the sun tinges these heaving billows, there comes 
 to the eye of the beholder, a scene of the most surprising grandeur; 
 he can only stand and gaze, rapt in wonder at the glorious sight. As 
 the sun rises in the heavens, the clouds gradually descend the moun- 
 tain slope and disappear, and the observer sees again the broad earth 
 below, in the clear, bright morning light. 
 
 So the shadows come into the light of our lives, the lighter, the 
 deeper, and the overwhelming shadow, which makes all around 
 dark, until the soul is lifted to see the heavenly light beyond. The 
 deep sorrow which sooner or later overshadows every household 
 when the loved ones pass to the other shore, brings out in full relief 
 the life, the character, the work, the affection, and the joy of the 
 presence of the departed one. We know the richness of our treas- 
 ure by its loss. The light is more brilliant when seen from darkness. 
 
 The lights and shadows mingle in every life. The great family of 
 brothers and sisters who gather here in biennial convention cannot 
 be exempt from this universal experience. Every time we come 
 home, we welcome new members of the family and mourn the de- 
 parture of some who have gone from earth. Thirty-four years have 
 passed, since this Institution was opened to the first class of stu- 
 dents. Our Alma Mater now extends her sheltering wings over two 
 generations. Father and son, mother and daughter, parents and 
 children now sit side by side, as members of the Bridgewater Nor-

 mal Association. Eighteen years ago this month, the elder children 
 of the family gathered here to honor the memory of him, whose sig- 
 nal ability and heroic fidelity, laid broad and deep the foundations of 
 this Institution. 
 
 Another good and true man came to the head of the school, took 
 up the work and carried it forward. For many years we have lis- 
 tened with delight to the noble man, the warm friend, the beloved 
 teacher, whose genial presence has always given us such cordial 
 welcome. Many hearts were gladdened at our last convention by 
 his encouraging words, while many eyes were dimmed with tears 
 because his failing strength foretold his departure. The master has 
 called him to his reward, and we meet to-day to do homage to his 
 memory, and to gather the lessons of faith, hope and love, which 
 were so beautifully exemplified in his life. The tributes of respect 
 and love which we bring, I am sure will be offerings from the heart, 
 for no words of formal sentiment could be accepted in speaking of 
 one who was ever loyal to truth. By the kind invitation of our Pres- 
 ident, and because of the intimate personal relations with Mr. Conant 
 which it was my privilege to hold for several years, it becomes my 
 sad, yet pleasant duty to introduce these memorial services by pre- 
 senting a brief biographical sketch of our teacher and friend. 
 
 MARSHALL CONANT, the second Principal of this Normal School, 
 was born in Pomfret, Vermont, on the fifth day of January, 1801. 
 He lived seventy-two years and one month, and died at Bridgewater, 
 Mass., on the tenth day of Februrary, 1873. His father was Jere- 
 miah Conant, a farmer and house carpenter, who, in 1780, went from 
 Bridgewater, Mass., with several companions, and settled in Pom- 
 fret, in the wild Green Mountain State. His mother, Chloe Pratt, 
 was also from Bridgewater. She was the second wife of his father. 
 The subject of our sketch was the sixth son in a family of twelve 
 children, eleven of whom lived to mature years. 
 
 The home of his childhood was beautifully situated, and should re- 
 ceive a passing notice, for the, surroundings of the child give direction 
 to the main lines of thought and help to determine the chief outlines 
 of character in the future man. I will briefly sketch the place as I 
 saw it a few years since. On the brow of a high hill, a part of one 
 of the eastern spurs of the Green Mountains, stands the plain, one 
 story farmhouse in which Mr. Conant was born. As the rays of the 
 rising sun woke the sleeping boy he could look down a winding 
 valley to the eastward, and out over hills and valleys beautifully 
 wooded, and dotted here and there by a farmhouse. On the west 
 rose a higher range of hills, down whose dark green, well wooded 
 
MR. CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 89 
 
 slopes, the shadows of the flying clouds played with the sunlight in 
 the afternoon, forming an ever-changing picture of great beauty 
 until the sun sank below the horizon. Then, on that hill-top, under 
 the open sky, in the solemn stillness of the night, one could almost 
 hear a voice, saying, "The Heavens declare the glory of God, and 
 the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech 
 and night unto night showeth knowledge." Living here in this quiet 
 home the first twenty-three years of his life, with a limited circle of 
 associates, with few books to read, taking into his soul all the beauty 
 of the earth by day, and the glory of the heavens by night, it 
 was the most natural result that the young man, with his active brain, 
 became an ardent lover of nature, and found great delight in study- 
 ing the movements of the heavenly bodies and all the varying phe- 
 nomena of the heavens. 
 
 " To him who in the love of nature 
 Holds communion with her visible forms 
 She speaks a various language." 
 
 Here was the source of that wealth of illustration which so fre- 
 quently enlivened his conversation and teaching. 
 
 The District School, "as it was" furnished the rudiments of in- 
 struction to the children of the neighborhood, and there, with 
 brothers and sisters, the boy took his first lessons, and shared the 
 common boon of New England. At ten years of age, his help 
 upon the farm, in the summer season, had become a valuable contri- 
 bution to the thrift of the family, so that from ten to fifteen years of 
 age he went to school only the three coldest months of the year, and 
 whatever else was attained at this early period was a self-achieve- 
 ment. 
 
 It was the practice of the father to consult with each of his sons in 
 respect to what he desired to do when he should come of an age to 
 act for himself. This son early showed a fondness for mechanics, 
 which manifested itself in making numerous water-wheels and wind- 
 mills, and using them to operate little trip hammers, crank turners, 
 and saw-mills. He decided to become an Architect, and so it was 
 thought best to adapt his "schooling" to this pursuit. Reading, 
 Writing, and " Ciphering " were therefore his special branches of 
 study at school. Arithmetic was his favorite study ; English Gram- 
 mar was excluded ; Geography was not studied in the common 
 schools at this period An abridgement of Morse's large Geography 
 was sometimes used as a reading book by the first class. From the 
 first part of this old book the boy first gained faith in the actual rota-

 tion of the earth upon an axis. " The convincing argument for this 
 fact was so mighty in the mind of the. lad, that when it came to his 
 mind he threw himself upon his backless bench, grasping around it 
 underneath to prevent being thrown off by the newly felt movement." 
 Here was a pupil who appreciated a new idea when it came to him. 
 
 His school days ended with his fifteenth year and he spent the win- 
 ter following with a house joiner in learning to make doors and 
 sashes. His skill with tools enabled him soon to master this branch 
 of business, and at seventeen years of age, strong and healthy, he 
 was vigorously at work at his trade, receiving the full wages of an 
 experienced workman, and doing his best to improve the condition of 
 his family. When about eighteen years of age, he took cold while 
 at work, which resulted in a severe inflammation of the lungs. His 
 health gave way and his hopes in the directions of his aims were 
 blasted. He never fully recovered from the effects of this illness, 
 which so nearly proved fatal to him. For four or five years succeed- 
 ing this failure of his health, he was able to do only some slight me- 
 chanical work, and occasionally in summer to guide the team in the 
 field. He had come to an epoch in life which changed his whole 
 future course. The deep sympathy of parents, brothers, and sisters 
 sustained him in his weakness. Unable to work at manual labor, 
 mental improvement was now his aim, and he read and studied all 
 that his physical strength would allow between the frequent periods 
 of severe pain. 
 
 He took up the study of Lindley Murray's English Grammar, 
 memorized and parsed Pope's Essay on Man, mastered Morse's large 
 Geography, the astronomical part oi which opened to him a new 
 world of thought, which made him all the more ardent in his obser- 
 vations of the heavenly bodies. Pike's large Arithmetic, with its 
 introduction to Algebra, and Euclid were constant companions ; the 
 latter he carried and studied while driving the team in the field. He 
 now began to see clearly the treasures of Mathematics and Astrono- 
 my. "A few old law books, the Bible, Doddridge's ' Rise and Pro- 
 gress,' Watts and Milton, an English Dictionary, and a few school 
 books, were the literary and light-giving treasures of the house." 
 The old Town Library furnished him a few histories and biogra- 
 phies. To get more books he made a wooden clock, that was going 
 well ten years after, and having sold this for eight dollars, he bought 
 a few more volumes. In the autumn of 1823, a small comet made 
 its appearance in the heavens and he immediately set himself to 
 compute its elements ; the great difficulties he met in this effort led 
 him into a successful study of Conic Sections and Planetary Motion, 
 
MR. CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 91 
 
 and kept his eye intent upon the visible heavens to note the varying 
 aspects of the different planets. 
 
 His health was now so far restored as to enable him to realize the 
 hope he had cherished for the previous four years, and he began his 
 life as a teacher at the age of twenty-three, by teaching the winter 
 school in his own district. His wages were $12 a month ; he boarded 
 himself and took his pay in corn, except a very small sum coming to 
 the district as its share of the public money. Part of his wages went 
 'to the family ; part of the corn he sold, and with the proceeds bought 
 a few books, on Mathematics and Astronomy. 
 
 The summer following, he computed a lunar eclipse, and was 
 greatly delighted to find his calculations all verified when the eclipse 
 came ; soon after, he calculated a solar eclipse with the same success. 
 He taught the same school the next winter. This winter he carefully 
 studied the stars, noted his observations, and constructed tables 
 for a systematic method of making his computations. In the Spring 
 he bought more books, and entered upon the study of higher Geom- 
 etry and the Differential Calculus. 
 
 In the fall of 1825, he attended an Academy at Alstead, N. H ; the 
 following' winter he taught in East Alstead, and boarded around ; this 
 occasioned much exposure, so that when the spring opened, the diffi- 
 culty with his lungs again appeared, and he was confined to the house 
 by sickness a large part of the year. In January, 1828, his father 
 died, he was appointed Administrator of the Estate, and the care of the 
 family devolved chiefly npon him, his older brothers having married 
 and moved away. During the summer of 1828, he calculated an 
 Almanac for 1829, and by the aid of friends, published an edition of 
 10,000 copies, which sold very readily. In the Autumn, he taught 
 a select school in Pomfret. In the winter of 1829, he taught the 
 village school in Woodstock, Vt., and his success encouraged him to 
 open there the same year a private school, for instruction in the 
 higher branches, which he continued for nearly five years. This 
 period of his life was one of great activity. Needing apparatus for 
 his school which he had not the means to buy, he made for himself 
 an electrical machine, and the Orrery, which all his subsequent pupils 
 in Astronomy so well remember. He added to his previous acquisi- 
 tions a knowledge of the French and Latin languages, in the winter 
 evenings, gave courses of lectures to his pupils and the village people, 
 and continued his studies in all directions, having obtained access to 
 the library of Dartmouth College. Besides his labors in teaching, 
 he had continued the preparation of an annual Almanac from 1829 
 to 1834. He was now 33 years of age. He says at this time, "I

 felt a strong desire for better opportunities of development, I had a 
 strong inclination to go to Massachusetts. I wished to become better 
 acquainted with her institutions and share the amenities of a higher 
 intellectual life." 
 
 Early in March, 1834, he came to Boston and was soon established 
 as a teacher in the Boylston Grammar School on Fort Hill. He 
 secured a boarding place not far from the Old Atheneum, in which 
 he spent three or four hours a day, pursuing a course of historic and^ 
 scientific reading. In September, 1835, he married Miss Roxana 
 Darling, one of his former pupils in Woodstock. After teaching two 
 years in the Boylston School he took a private school for boys, in 
 Roxbury, in which he remained for three years, having a prosperous 
 school and a very happy home among the cultivated people of his 
 acquaintance. An invitation now came to him to take charge of a 
 new Academy in Hillsboro, 111., which he accepted. In this school 
 he found for pupils young gentlemen and young ladies, earnest in the 
 work of mental and moral culture. The ill effects of the climate, 
 both upon himself and wife, induced him to return to Boston after an 
 absence of two years. Soon after his return from the West he was 
 invited to take charge of the Academy at Framingham, Mass. He 
 began his labors here in September, 1841, and continued them for 
 four years. Then his health again failed and he was obliged to take 
 entire rest for several months, when it was thought best for him to 
 seek out-door employment. He obtained a position upon the Boston 
 Water Works, then just commenced, at the head of the Typographi- 
 cal department. Here he continued four years up to the comple- 
 tion of the works. The structure, as it went forward, called for ex- 
 tensive research, and presented many interesting problems in Hy- 
 draulics, most of which came to the hands of Mr. Conant for solution. 
 Copies of these he retained and afterwards made a book of plans of 
 the whole work, which he prepared for publication. This manu- 
 script was destroyed by fire and could not be reproduced. 
 
 The next two years he spent in laying out and constructing the 
 railroad from Dover to Lake Winnipiseogee in New Hampshire. On 
 the completion of this work he returned to West Newton for a few 
 months and then came to reside in Bridgewater, in 1852, where he 
 was employed in connection with the Eagle Cotton Gin Co. The 
 next year, Mr. Tillinghast resigned his position as Principal of this 
 School, on account of failing health and proposed the election of Mr. 
 Conant as his successor. He was elected and entered upon his duties 
 in August 1853, and continued for seven years, till July 1860, when, 
 both himself and wife being much worn with their arduous 
 
MR. CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 93 
 
 labors, he resigned his charge of the School and went to Grantville 
 for recuperation. After resting here for two years he was called to 
 Washington in 1862, by Commissioner Boutwell, to aid in organizing 
 the Department of Internal Revenue. He remained a most faithful 
 and efficient officer in this service till the time of his last sickness, 
 with the exception of one year, when he had a leave of absence. 
 He returned to Bridgewater in 1872, no longer able to perform his 
 duties at Washington, his physical strength steadily declining under 
 a most painful illness. With his mind still clear and active, he con- 
 tinued to work, and finished the manuscript for an astronomical pub- 
 lication but a few days before he was released from suffering by an, 
 abundant entrance into the better life beyond. 
 
 His life extended a little beyond the allotted period of three score 
 years and ten, though not full of physical strength, it was full of 
 activity and good fruits. The first eighteen years, strong and active, 
 with very limited opportunities for intellectual training, he lived among 
 the hills, and communed with nature. Here he observed and thought 
 for himself, learned the principles of piety and a sacred regard for 
 truth ; of sobriety, industry and frugality, the prime elements of a 
 good character. The next five years, he was nearly prostrated by 
 sickness, and although periods of suffering were not wanting, nor 
 times of great depression and discouragement, yet his mind was 
 more active than ever, and he came to a kind of calm sunshine of 
 homing and bearing. Then he asked specially that he might be 
 spared awhile to teach and to do something in the world. Length of 
 days was granted, and he used the time, strength, and opportunities 
 given him to the full measure of his ability. 
 
 The next thirty-seven years he passed as a teacher, author, and 
 engineer, alternating these vocations as the varying conditions of his 
 health required. Twenty-six years of this period were devoted to 
 teaching, and more than two thousand pupils came under his instruc- 
 tion. Who can measure the extent of the influence of his noble 
 soul upon the minds of those pupils ? He closed his career of teach- 
 ing when he left this Normal School. He says, " That period of 
 seven years in charge of one of the oldest Normal Schools in the 
 Country, I look back upon as the culminating epoch in my personal 
 history." 
 
 During the last ten years of his life, a part of which he sat at the 
 receipt of custom in the National Treasury, many millions of the 
 public money passed through his hands, but no error nor discrepancy 
 was ever found in his accounts. He was not merely a receiver of 
 tribute money, but his high-toned patriotism and loyalty strengthened 
 
94 BRIDGKWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 the hearts of those who guarded the life of the nation in the days of 
 the rebellion. 
 
 The difficulties with which Mr. Conant had to contend in prepar- 
 ing for the work of life, were neither few nor small. But these ad- 
 verse circumstances did not crush his spirit, nor prevent his doing 
 and rising in the world. They only served to develop his manhood, 
 to bring out those sterling qualities which constitute a truly noble 
 character, as they always do in every genuine man. One of the 
 most prominent traits of his character, was his great hopefulness. 
 He loved life, and his imagination pictured great things to be accom- 
 plished, set before him a high ideal of what life should be. He 
 looked on the bright side, and was sanguine of success even to enthu- 
 siasm. This trait made him a very genial companion. Scarcely 
 less prominent was his great perseverance in working out the pur- 
 pose he had formed. He was industrious and devoted, sparing no 
 pains to accomplish his object. He was never idle, and could not 
 tolerate idleness in others. He believed that earnest labor was the 
 price of everything valuable. 
 
 He had great self-respect and fully respected others. He was high 
 toned in all his action and appealed only to worthy motives. He was 
 a man of quick sensibilities, keenly sensitive to neglect, and would 
 not obtrude himself upon the notice of others. The artifices often 
 employed to secure power and position he could not use, but was 
 content to work on, believing that the time would come when the 
 result of his labors would be appreciated, and that he should not be 
 left to want. He was sincere in dealing with himself and with others ; 
 every form of trickery and deception he despised. Remarkable for 
 his attention to the wants and feelings of others, always courteous, 
 entirely disregarding his own ease and comfort in his readiness to 
 promote the comfort and happiness of those around him, he was a 
 true gentleman- 
 
 The crowning traits of his character, were his love of truth and 
 his faith ; he sought the truth with his whole soul, both in the works 
 and in the Word of God. He was a careful student of the Bible, an 
 ardent lover of its teachings. He was a man of the largest chanty, 
 always kind and liberal in his judgment of others. Though unwilling 
 to contend for place and power, he was fearless in advocating the truth. 
 Every good work found in him a generous supporter ; he wrought 
 nobly for himself and for others, but not in his own strength alone. 
 He was brought up in a religious community, and before he left his 
 native place he came to a hearty faith in a divine director and guide, 
 a resting of the soul on the Spirit that called it into being and action. 
 
MR. CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 95 
 
 While teaching in Woodstock, he became a member of the Congre- 
 gational Church in that place, and through life was sustained and 
 guided by a living faith in Jesus Christ as a personal Savior. 
 
 Of Mr. Conant as a teacher, I would gladly speak at length, but I 
 must not trench upon the ground of those who follow me, except to 
 bear my personal testimony to the excellence of his teaching. 
 Working with him as an assistant teacher for several years, I was all 
 this time his pupil, for he was constantly disbursing to me from the 
 rich gatherings of his varied experience. His whole mind and 
 strength were given to his teaching ; his genial manner, his ready 
 command of language, and his facility in illustration, always secured 
 the attention of his pupils. In his favorite studies of Mathematics, 
 Astronomy, and Mechanics, he was very clear, definite, and original 
 in his methods. By his fidelity, his devotion, his enthusiasm, and 
 the inspiration of his life, he was constantly drawing his pupils to 
 higher fields of thought, and higher attainments. He threw into his 
 .work the poetry of pure and holy motive. You who have been his 
 pupils, as you recall the old school-room; will think, I doubt not, in 
 the words of another, " It was good for us to be there ; for unknown 
 to us, were made therein three tabernacles : one for us, one for our 
 school-master, and one for Him, who is the friend of all children, 
 and the master of all school-masters." 
 
 Such was the man, whose memory is so precious 1o us to-day. I 
 have sketched his life as fully as I could in so brief a time. I have 
 weighed my words, that I might speak the precise truth, and give 
 that combination'of truths which would present the clearest and tru- 
 est view of the man. "The great lesson, the great legacy of his 
 life," is, that the love of truth, a living faith, and hopeful, persevering 
 industry will enable one to overcome all obstacles, to attain the full 
 stature of a noble manhood, according to the measure of the ability 
 which God has given, will bring one to stations of honor and useful- 
 ness, and will leave a memory that shall not perish. " What an in- 
 spiration to every youth, longing with a generous ambition to do 
 something in the world," is such a life. Not a teacher, only, has 
 finished his earthly career, but one of the best, the noblest of men. 
 Like a shock of corn, fully ripe, he was gathered. Let us bring to- 
 day, our tributes of respect and affection. Let us go hence, to imi- 
 tate his virtues, and ** let his dear memory serve to make our faith in 
 goodness strong."

 A MEMORIAL ADDRESS, READ BY ELIZA B. WOODWARD, 
 
 Before the BRIDGEWATER NORMAL ASSOCIATION, at Bridgewater, July 15, 1874. 
 
 When children, grown-up, and scattered, go home to the accus- 
 tomed family festival, and gather about the familiar hearth-stone ; 
 after the first warm greetings, the eyes turn to the vacant seat, vacated 
 since their last reunion, then vainly wander in search of the missing 
 one ; and the heart goes out with longing inexpressible. 
 
 So, pupils and friends of Mr. Conant, our eyes to-day, search in 
 vain for a speaking face and a venerable form, with us at our last 
 gathering, and our hearts turn to our missing one, our teacher, our 
 friend, our father. 
 
 We meet to-day, a bereaved family ; we do not hear his hearty 
 greeting, his cheerful, hope-inspiring words ; and we look inqui- 
 ringly into each others faces. And, because I was here when he went 
 away, and heard his gracious words as he waited, ready and anxious 
 to "pass on" to the promised rest, you have asked me to speak to 
 you of him. I cannot do it worthily ; but I cannot by refusal, seem 
 unwilling to honor him dead, whom living, I esteemed worthy of the 
 highest honor. 
 
 Many years of intimate acquaintance in the school, in his home, by 
 correspondence, and finally in the sick room, gave me the rare priv- 
 ilege of knowing the spirit of the man ; of learning the noble pur- 
 poses which actuated him, and of seeing how truly his life conformed 
 to his high standard. And, as I have read or listened to your words 
 of grateful praise, and to those which have come from loving hearts 
 all over the country, I have felt that the highest which has been 
 spoken has not transcended what was due to the purity, the justice, 
 the truth, the nobility of his character. 
 
 " How rare and how blessed it is to know one of whom we can say, 
 ' I bless God upon every remembrance of him.' Such is our bles- 
 sedness in knowing Mr. Conant. We knew him a Christian gentle- 
 man, true to every relation in life. He " cultivated the gentle chari- 
 ties,'' and was as exact in the common duties which no human eye 
 would note, as in the most public, where the eyes of the nation were 
 upon its treasure. 
 
 He possessed that broad and liberal culture which we are accus- 
 tomed to ascribe to foreign travel and study. He never went 
 abroad, but, in all the changes of his varied life, he kept a mind 
 open and receptive. He mingled freely with strangers and intelligent 
 
MR. CONANT'S ADMINISTRATION. 97 
 
 foreigners ; and by a wide range of social intercourse, local peculiar- 
 ities were lost, his character was rounded, and he made so com- 
 pletely a cosmopolitan, that his nationality was frequently the subject 
 of question by those who did not know him well. Yet love of country 
 was almost a passion with him. He always identified himself with 
 the community in which he lived; and as a citizen, devoted himself 
 to securing the greatest good to the greatest number, without regard 
 to personal interests. He was a most enthusiastic and inspiring 
 teacher ; he was thorough, exact, and eminently practical, and gave 
 a charm to every subject which he taught by the store of collateral 
 truths by which he surrounded it. He gave his pupils glimpses of 
 treasures which they could mine for themselves in the future ; he 
 opened side-doors into choice museums free to be explored by the 
 eager, curious student when the opportunity should come ; so he seldom 
 failed to inspire his pupils with a desire to obtain a high, liberal edu- 
 cation. 
 
 But you knew him as a teacher and a man ; so I have brought 
 together a few extracts from your letters of sympathy, which were 
 kindly furnished me by Mrs. Conant, that your own words may tell, 
 as they best can, of the influence which he had upon your lives, and 
 the place he still holds in your hearts. 
 
 " It is with no hollow and idle voices that the hundreds of those 
 who have been under his charge at the Normal School rise up and 
 call him blessed. Many a one owes to him an awakening and an 
 inspiration which have changed the whole current of his thought, 
 and ennobled his whole life. Alfred Bunker, 
 
 " I call him father, for never, until I came under his paternal in- 
 structions, did I have the energies of my mind enlivened, or the dor- 
 mant powers of my spiritual nature quickened into being. Through 
 his incitement I have been trying for nearly a score of years to be 
 more and more a scholar and a Christian. Rev. Nathan Willis. 
 
 "His life impinged upon my own with singular force. In my list 
 of helpers and inspirers he stands among the highest. A tender, 
 generous, courageous life, a life of steadfast earnestness and deep 
 enthusiasm. Upon the moral side, his were the loftiest ideals ; and 
 he held his pupils to them by spontaneous attraction rather than by 
 any conscious effort. Rev. John W. Chadivick. 
 
 " He was my best friend and did more for me than I can tell. He 
 was a man of superior ability and knowledge : but, better than this, 
 he was one of the best of men and truest of friends. The happiest 
 and most profitable years of my life were those I passed with him. - 
 Edward Rice.

 " I am amazed in considering what Mr. Conant, in his weakness, 
 accomplished. Ever since it was my pleasure to know him, it has 
 seemed that his life hung by a very slender cord. That he lived so 
 long was due, largely, to prudence and care ; yet, where do we find 
 those who really accomplish so much? His organization was ex- 
 ceedingly delicate, but the latent force within was ever ready to be 
 kindled whenever it might tend to arouse some dormant intellect, or 
 ian the flame already kindled in some mind thirsting for knowledge. 
 His life was filled with work, but there was that confiding trust in the 
 Good Being, that made everything about him bright and cheerful, 
 even though the sky was overcast." S. Divight Eaton. 
 
 The lamented Prof. Alpheus Crosby, who knew him well, wrote 
 thus of him : 
 
 " It is impossible for us to express our high and affectionate appre- 
 ciation of him who has gone before us, of his mind, his heart, and 
 his life ! Oh, that we all might have our work as well done as he, 
 and be as well prepared for an exchange of worlds ! 
 
 "Mr. Conant was not only a man of remarkable ability and attain- 
 ments ; but, what is much more, one of the very best men I ever 
 knew, ' Good all the way through ; ' and, what is not true of all good 
 men, he was a man not only to be esteemed and trusted, but to be 
 really loved." 
 
 When the news of Mr. Conant's death reached Washington, a 
 meeting of the officers and clerks of the office of Internal Revenue 
 was held, at which resolutions were unanimously adopted, express- 
 ing profound sorrow and a sense of personal bereavement, and the 
 feeling "that, in the death of Marshall Conant, the office has lost 
 one of the ablest and purest men that have ever been connected with 
 it." 
 
 " Is he dead whose glorious mind lifts thine on high ? 
 To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." 
 
 Mr. Conant returned to Bridgewater in his "Sunset hour." He 
 had worked through the early, clouded morning ; in the heat and 
 weariness of the noon-tide ; through the long, long day : with what 
 courage and hope, how joyously and successfully* we all know. 
 And when the twilight shadows began to lengthen about him, he 
 turned to this as the place where he would review the work of the 
 day, search his own heart, and then lie down for his rest. 
 
 He had felt the burden of life slip from his shoulders, and knew 
 that he should never take it up again. No one with health and hope 
 of life can realize what that meant to him whose life had been so full 
 of joyous labor, and for whom this wonderful creation teemed with 
 beauty, mystery, and the grandest subjects of study.

 But he bravely turned from all which had so gladdened his life ; 
 and, with but one earthly longing and regret, accepted the weary 
 watching and waiting for the dawn of the new day whose sun should 
 never set. Those last days of physical suffering, in which the soul 
 longed for quiet and release, are sacred ; but, as he had been in his 
 active life, so he was now in his weakness, the Christian gentleman, 
 patient, thoughtful of the comfort and feelings of others, and 
 maintaining always a perfect mastery over himself. 
 
 His mind was clear ; and, though his thoughts were reaching for- 
 ward and taking hold of the highest things of God, his heart clung 
 fondly to his earthly friends, and his face responded to every word 
 and look of love. No friend or neighbor entered his room without 
 receiving the cordial, old-time recognition; and many a benediction 
 fell from his lips as messages of affectionate remembrance were 
 brought to him from the absent. 
 
 Many times during the last blessed afternoon of his life, his lips 
 murmured : " The Lord will deliver him that trusteth in Him." " The 
 Lord will deliver." His deliverance came, and " He is not, for God 
 took him."

 IE. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION, 
 
 THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 
 
 ALBERT G. BOYDEN, the present Principal of the school, was ap- 
 pointed in August, 1860. The number of students had increased so 
 much, under Mr. Conant, that the-school building and its furnishings 
 were inadequate to the proper accommodalion of the school. Plans 
 for the enlargement and improvement of the building were prepared 
 and presented to the Board of Education. These plans were ap- 
 proved, and the Board made application to the Legislature for the 
 necessary appropriation. By a resolve, approved April 1, 1861, the 
 Legislature appropriated " for the enlargement and repairs of the 
 Bridgewater Normal School building, a sum not exceeding four 
 thousand, five hundred dollars." The Visitors, in their report of the 
 school fqr 1861, gave the following account of the enlargement: 
 
 " The passage of the resolve showed an appreciation of the merits 
 and demands of this school which, during the twenty-one years of 
 its history, has enjoyed a steady prosperity, and has educated 1,286 
 pupils, nearly all of whom, on leaving the school, entered the ranks 
 of teachers. The Visitors of the school, together with the Secretary 
 of the Board, were appointed a Building Committee, who have en- 
 deavored to accomplish as much as possible with the sum appropri- 
 ated. The building, originally, was a plain structure, 64 feet long 
 by 42 feet wide, and two stories high. To this have been added two 
 wings, each 38 feet long and 24 feet wide, projecting respectively 
 from the centre of the sides of the main building, and of the same height 
 with the main building. The whole makes a structure so symmetri- 
 cal that, though plain and unornamented, it is doubtful whether any 
 more convenient plan for a Normal School building could be devised. 
 Upon the lower floor are four convenient recitation rooms, two rooms 
 that are used for philosophical and chemical apparatus, one room for 
 mineralogical and geological specimens, and two ante-rooms for the 
 pupils. In the second story the whole of the original structure is 
 devoted to a school-room, which is 63 feet long and 41 feet wide, 
 while opening from it in one wing is a spacious recitation room with 
 an adjoining apartment that may be used for apparatus ; and in the 
 other wing a large library room, and a teachers' room. 
 
 "It has been deemed desirable that the warming and ventilation of 
 the house should be as nearly perfect as possible. The ventilation is 
 
MR. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION. 11.3 
 
 / 
 
 satisfactory, and new furnaces have been set which warm the entire 
 building. A forcing pump has been placed in the well in the cellar, 
 with pipes and tanks to supply closets and sinks. The building is of 
 wood, the foundation of stone, and it is believed that all of the work 
 is good and satisfactory. It has been done under the special super- 
 vision of Mr. Boy den, the Principal of the School, whose interest in 
 the enterprise has led him, without compensation, to devote the entire 
 summer vacation of the school to this work. Notwithstanding this 
 enlargement, the total amount expended by the State for the grounds 
 and building at Bridgewater, is less than the sum expended at either 
 of the other Normal Schools in the State." 
 
 The building was scantily furnished before the enlargement, a defi- 
 ciency which was both more conspicuous and inconvenient afterward. 
 For many years it had received no addition to its furniture except the 
 substitution of a good piano for one nearly worn out. The Legisla- 
 ture of 1862 appropriated two hundred dollars for furniture, which 
 was used in procuring rew desks and chairs for the platform of the 
 school-room, and chairs and -tables for the class-rooms. In 1864 the 
 school-room was furnished with new oak desks and new chairs, in 
 the place 'of the pine desks and chairs supplied in 1846, and the 
 building was repainted. The cost of these improvements was one 
 thousand dollars. The Legislature of 1866 appropriated five hun- 
 dred dollars, which was expended for chemical and philosophical 
 apparatus, and for cabinet cases.

 The Boarding Hall. During the first eight years of the school, 
 the price of board for the students was $2.00 a week, including wash- 
 ing. From the end of this period the price gradually increased till 
 in 1866 it was $4.00 and $4.25 a week without washing, fuel, and 
 lights. Board for all the students could not be found at any price. 
 The young men hired rooms for lodging, and formed a club for table 
 board. The Principal was obliged to hire rooms and furnish them 
 with the necessary furniture, in which the young ladies could board 
 themselves, or else allow them to return home for want of accommo- 
 dations. So urgent was the need of boarding accommodations that 
 an effort was made to form an Association among the citizens of the 
 town for providing a boarding house to be rented for the use of the 
 students. This scheme failed, and application for relief was made 
 to the Legislature of 18G7, by the Board of Education, asking for an 
 appropriation of $30,000 for this purpose. The Committee on Edu- 
 cation reported a bill for the appropriation of $15,000 for the erection 
 of a boarding hall for the school. This bill failed to pass the House. 
 
 The Visitors in their report of the school for 1868, make the follow- 
 ing presentation : ;' The increase in the number of pupils in atten- 
 dance makes still more urgent the need of providing better boarding 
 accommodations. A very large proportion are obliged to board them- 
 selves, to the great detriment of their health. And even suitable ac- 
 commodations for self-boarding cannot be obtained. The case is so 
 plain that it does not admit of doubt. A hall for the students is an 
 absolute necessity." A similar want having been experienced at the 
 Framingham Normal School, the Board of Education made a strong 
 appeal to the Legislature of 1869, and secured the passage of the 
 following resolve : 
 
 "Resolved, That the Commissioners of the Massachusetts School Fund be, and they hereby 
 are authorized and directed, with the approval of the Governor and Council, to loan from said 
 fund to the Board of Education, a sum not exceeding fifteen thousand dollars, in trust, to be 
 expended by said Board in erecting or otherwise providing and furnishing a boarding house 
 for the accommodation of the pupils of the Bridgewater State Normal School ; also a further 
 sum, not exceeding fifteen thousand dollars, to be expended for the same purpose, and in like 
 manner, by said Board of Education at the Framingham State Normal School. 
 
 " Said Board of Education shall collect from the occupants of the houses so provided, in 
 addition to other charges, a sum sufficient to cover the interest at six per cent, per annum, on 
 the cost of said buildings and furniture, and a reasonable insurance on the same, and shall 
 pay over said interest money to the Commissioners of the Massachusetts School Fund, semi- 
 annually. 
 
 " If said Board of Education shall fail to pay the interest of said sums, as aforesaid, then 
 the Commissioners shall have the power, and, with the approval of the Governor and Council, 
 shall sell said boarding houses, or either of them, with the appurtenances thereto belonging, 
 and the furniture therein, and invest the proceeds of the same as provided by law. Approrcd 
 March 26, 1869. 
 
 The plans for the building were carefully matured by the Princi- 
 pal after obtaining information in regard to the plans of several 
 

 
 116 BRIDGliWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 school boarding halls in different parts of the country. After com- 
 pleting the working plans, careful estimates of the cost of the work 
 were obtained, which showed that a building for the accommodation 
 of fifty students could not be erected and furnished for less than 
 $25,000. Another application was made to the Legislature, the 
 length of the session being specially favorable to this object, secur- 
 ing an additional appropriation, as follows : 
 
 "Resolved, That the Commissioners of the Massachusetts School Fund be, and they are 
 hereby authorized and directed, with the approval of the Governor and Council, to loan from 
 said fund to the Board of Education, in addition to the sums named in the seventeenth chapter 
 of the resolves of the present session, a sum not exceeding ten thousand dollars, for providing 
 and furnishing a boarding house for the State Normal School at Bridgewater ; and a sum not 
 exceeding five thousand dollars for a like purpose at the Framingham Normal School ; said 
 loans to be made upon the terms and conditions expressed in said resolve, chapter seventeen 
 of the present session. Approved, June 12, 1869. 
 
 The work was continued without delay and with the following re- 
 sults as given by the Visitors in their report of the school for 1869. 
 
 " The most important event in the history of the school for many 
 years past, has been the erection during the last year of a boarding 
 hall for the use of the pupils. The work on the edifice was begun 
 on the 18th of June, and it was completed on the 20th of November. 
 On the 25th of the same month, the management of the establish- 
 ment was organized, and the rooms were at once filled with boarders. 
 The Visitors of the school, including the Secretary of the Board were 
 appointed by the Board a Committee with full powers to erect the 
 building, furnish it, and put it in running order. This Committee 
 appointed Mr. Boyden, the Principal, Superintendent of the work of 
 building and furnishing, and agent to make all purchases. The ar- 
 duous and responsible duties thus imposed upon him in addition to 
 his exhausting labors as Principal of the school, he has performed in 
 an admirable manner, and to the entire satisfaction of the Committee, 
 sparing no pains to secure the best results at the least expense. He 
 has rendered to the Committee a full report of his doings as Superin- 
 tendent, embracing a description of the building and an account of all 
 the expenditures which have been incurred in its erection and equip- 
 ment. 
 
 " After careful deliberation upon the location of the building, it 
 was decided to place it upon the school premises, although the town 
 of Bridgewater offered the sum of one thousand dollars for the pur- 
 chase of any other lot the committee might select at that price. Sev- 
 eral lots were examined, but the cost of grading and fencing them 
 was so great that they were not available, for the means at the com- 
 mand of the committee were only sufficient to erect and furnish the 
 building. 
 
MR. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION. 117 
 
 "The building stands about seventy feet from the school house, and 
 fronting in the same direction, near the centre of the school grounds 
 which contain about one and one-fourth acres of land, enclosed by 
 fences, and ornamented by a variety of handsome shade trees. The 
 location proves to be entirely satisfactory. 
 
 "The building is a wooden structure, 40 by 80 feet, three stories 
 high above the basement, very pleasant and commodious, and neatly 
 furnished. The basement story, one side of which is wholly above 
 ground, contains the cellars, boiler-room, and laundry. The first 
 story includes the family rooms, the parlor, dining-room, and cook 
 rooms. The remaining stories are divided into students rooms, 10 by 
 15 feet on the floor, and 10 feet in height twenty-nine in number ; 
 and rooms for the help. The rooms are thoroughly ventilated, car- 
 peted, and supplied with furniture. The whole building is heated 
 by steam. 
 
 "Mr. Boyden makes no charge for his extra services as superin- 
 tendent of this work. The Visitors would, however, ask the Board 
 to refund to him the amount of his travelling expenses while so em- 
 ployed. 
 
 " The boarding hall is now fully organized and in successful ope- 
 ration. It is already evident that it will be highly beneficial to the 
 school. It affords the young ladies in attendance good rooms and 
 good board at $1.25 a week less than they have heretofore paid in 
 private families." 
 
 The Legislature of 1870 made an additional loan from the school 
 fund to the Board of Education, of a sum not exceeding fifteen hun- 
 dred dollars, for completing the providing and furnishing of the 
 boarding hall at Bridgewater, thus making the total expended for this 
 purpose, $26,500. In the same resolve a sum not exceeding six 
 thousand five hundred dollars was loaned for the same object for the 
 boarding hall at Framingham, making the total here the same as for 
 Bridgewater. 
 
 The boarding hall at Bridgewater was the first one erected by the 
 State for a Normal School. When the first three Normal Schools of 
 this State were opened, a boarding hall was considered one of the 
 necessary buildings. It was now regarded a doubtful experiment, as 
 clearly indicated by the resolve of the Legislature making the appro- 
 priation. The interest on the cost of this hall was fully paid accord- 
 ing to the conditions of the appropriation. The interest was not paid 
 at Framingham, and the Legislature of 1871 passed a resolve releas- 
 ing the Board of Education from the payment of interest on the 
 
118 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 amounts received from the Massachusetts school fund for the building 
 and furnishing boarding houses for the Normal Schools at Framing- 
 ham and Bridgewater, and from paying the insurance thereon. 
 
 During the Fall term of 1870, less than one year after the opening 
 of the boarding hall, the School numbered 142 pupils, only 54 of 
 whom could be accommodated with rooms at the hall. The pressure 
 for rooms and board was as great as before the hall was erected, and 
 required an immediate enlargement of the hall, but the appropria- 
 tions made for the establishment of a new Normal School at Worces- 
 ter, and for a boarding hall for the Normal School at Westfield, made 
 it necessary to postpone this enlargement till 1873. 
 
 Enlargement of the School Building. The school house, as well 
 as the boarding hall, was too small for the School, having room in 
 the main hall for only 120 pupils. Additional class rooms were 
 needed, and more room for cabinets and apparatus. A resolve of 
 the Legislature, authorizing the expenditure of a sum not exceeding 
 fifteen thousand dollars, for the enlargement and reconstruction of 
 the building, was approved May 12, 1871. The Committee of the 
 Board appointed to take charge of this business, appointed the Prin- 
 cipal of the School as their agent, to superintend the work in all its 
 departments. 
 
 The plans for the enlargement were carefully matured, after visit- 
 ing and examining several school buildings recently erected. The 
 building was enlarged by adding a story sixteen feet in height ; and 
 greatly improved in external appearance by an observatory on the 
 centre, a new roof with heavier projections and a new cornice, and 
 a band between the first and second stories, with quoins upon the 
 pilasters on the lower story. 
 
 The first story contains the ante-rooms for the students, four class 
 rooms, a chemical laboratory, and a room for philosophical apparatus. 
 Upon the second floor are five commodious class rooms, with alcove, 
 and cases for the library and cabinets. The third story contains the 
 main school-room, a spacious hall, well ventilated, light, and very 
 cheerful, the senior class-room, and the Principal's room. It is 
 now one of the most pleasant and convenient school buildings in 
 the State. 
 
 The work on the building was commenced immediately on the 
 close of the Spring term, and was so far completed at the close of 
 the Summer vacation that the School could go on with its usual 
 work. 
 
 Steam Heating Apparatus. The changes in the building created 
 the necessity for new heating and ventilating apparatus. Estimates

 were obtained for heating and ventilating the building by steam, after 
 the manner which had proved so effective in the boarding hall. The 
 appropriation was found sufficient to procure only ventiducts for this 
 plan. These were put into the construction of the building and por- 
 table furnaces were added for use during the winter. During the 
 summer vacation of 1872, a fire-proof boiler house was constructed 
 in the embankment at the southeast corner of the School building, 
 and a complete steam-heating and ventilating apparatus was intro- 
 duced, at a cost of six thousand dollars, the sum appropriated by the 
 Legislature for the purpose. 
 
 Art Room. An appropriation of six hundred dollars was made by 
 the Legislature of 1873 for fitting up an art-room for drawing. This 
 sum was expended in supplying the room appropriated to this purpose 
 with drawing desks of the most approved pattern, and drawing 
 boards and instruments, together with the valuable casts and models 
 which had previously been imported from London, thus affording 
 excellent facilities for teaching drawing. 
 
 The Enlargement of the Boarding Hall. At the commencement 
 of the spring term in 1873, the number of pupils in attendance was 
 150, and there was as much difficulty in obtaining the requisite board- 
 ing places outside the hall, as there was to get suitable boarding 
 places before the hall was built. The necessity for its enlargement 
 was evident beyond question. The Visitors, in their report to the Board 
 in January, 1873, say : "This is the third time that the request for 
 the enlargement of the boarding hall has been brought to the atten- 
 tion of the Board. Last year the request was so far sanctioned by 
 the Board as to allow it to go to the Committee on Education, but 
 with the understanding that it should not prejudice their request for a 
 boarding house for the Westfield school. The Committee recom- 
 mended to the Legislature and secured provision for the latter, only 
 thinking both projects too much to undertake in one year. This year 
 it is hoped that the moderate request of Bridgewater will at length 
 receive the favorable consideration both of the Board and the Legis- 
 lature." This hope was realized. 
 
 The Visitors, in their report for 1874, present the following state- 
 ment : "The Legislature of 1873 made an appropriation of $36,000 
 for enlarging and furnishing the building, and the Legislature of 
 1874 passed an additional appropriation of $7,600 for the introduc- 
 tion of gas into the building, and various other items not provided for 
 in the first estimates. The Secretary of the Board of Education and 
 Rev. A. A. Miner, D. D., were appointed by the Board a committee, 
 with full powers to enlarge the building, furnish it, and put it in run- 
 
MR. BOYDEN S ADMINISTRATION. 
 
 121 
 
 BOARDING HALL, BRtDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
122 BR|DGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 ning order. This committee appointed the Principal of the school, 
 superintendent of building and furnishing, and agent to make all pur- 
 chases. The work of enlargement was commenced in July, 1873, 
 and completed in March, 1874. The hall has been fully occupied, 
 and has been in successful operation without any increase of expen- 
 ses. Mr. Boyden, the Principal, deserves great credit for the faithful, 
 judicious, and efficient manner in which he has superintended all the 
 operations in connection with the building of the boarding hall, with- 
 out any extra compensation." 
 
 The plans for enlargement extended the building so far that there 
 was not room for a carriage way between it and the south line of the 
 school lot. The town of Bridgewater generously donated to the 
 Commonwealth from their adjoining school lot, a strip of land twenty 
 feet wide, and three hundred and twenty feet long, which gave room 
 for easy and convenient approach to the south front of the hall. 
 
 The enlargement was made by adding to the south end of the orig- 
 inal structure another building, 132 by 40 feet, the wings extending 
 from the hall 46 feet on each side. A piazza extends across the end 
 of the hall on the south front, and a large cupola affords a fine out- 
 look over the surrounding region. The hall is very pleasant and 
 commodious, and will accommodate one hundred and forty students 
 with rooms and board. Two students occupy one room. Each 
 room has two closets, is carpeted, supplied with furniture, including 
 mattress and pillows, heated by steam, lighted by gas, and thoroughly 
 ventilated. One wing of the hall is occupied by gentlemen. 
 
 The hall is under the charge of the Principal, who resides in the 
 house and boards with the students. No pains are spared to make 
 the Hall in every respect a home for the pupils. It has a beautiful 
 location, and every room is pleasant. A Reading Room, supplied 
 with newspapers, periodicals, and some of the best new books, and 
 a Gymnasium, are provided for the daily use of the students. 
 
 The Hall was built and furnished by the State. The boarders are 
 to pay the current expenses, which include board, fuel, light, wash- 
 ing, and the expense of keeping the Hall and its furniture in good 
 condition. The aim is, to make these expenses not more than $80 a 
 term, or $4 a week, for gentlemen ; and for ladies not more than 
 $75 a term, or $3.75 a week. Boarders who remain for any period 
 less than half a term will be charged 25 cents a week additional. 
 The expense thus far has not exceeded the sum specified. 
 
 Payments. $40 for each gentleman, and $37.50 for each lady, at 
 the beginning of the term ; and the same amount for each at the 
 middle of the term. The object of this payment in advance is, to 
 
MR. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION. 123 
 
 secure the purchase of supplies at wholesale cash prices, thereby 
 saving to each boarder much more than the interest of the money 
 advanced. 
 
 Furniture. Each boarder is required to bring bedding, towels, 
 napkins and napkin-ring, and clothes bags. Each occupant will 
 want, ordinarily, four pillow cases, three sheets, two blankets or 
 their equivalent, and one coverlet, for a double bed. It is required 
 that every article which goes to the laundry be distinctly and indeli- 
 bly marked with the owner's name. 
 
 The hall has been in successful operation for nearly seven years. 
 There is no longer any question concerning its utility. The habits 
 of regularity, cheerful work, full occupation, with proper recreation, 
 which are here inculcated, tend to the improvement of both body and 
 mind. It has contributed very much to the size, health, happiness, 
 and vigor of the School. The total expenditure by the State for the 
 hall is $70,100. 
 
 The Chemical Laboratory. The appropriation of one thousand 
 dollars, made by the Legislature of 1875, for fitting and furnishing a 
 chemical laboratory, and for chemicals and apparatus, was expended 
 for this purpose. The School has now an excellent laboratory, com- 
 bining the most approved modern ideas, in which twenty-four pupils 
 can work at one time, each pupil himself manipulating the apparatus 
 and dealing with the substances which he studies. 
 
 " The first Normal School-house ever erected in this hemisphere " 
 still stands as the centre and foundation of the present improved 
 school building. It has increased to the present dimensions as the 
 growth of the School has made it necessary. With all the enlarge- 
 ments and improvements, the School has no more than met the 
 demands of the public. Additional facilities will always be needed 
 to meet the constantly increasing demands of an enlightened public 
 sentiment. The outlays for educational institutions are but "the 
 ounce of prevention," more economical and far more productive of 
 good than the " pound of cure." 
 
 THE SCHOOL. 
 
 The number of pupils in attendance the fifty-sixth term, at the 
 commencement of this administration, was sixty-seven. The num- 
 ber in attendance the present term, the eighty-seventh, is one hundred 
 sixty-seven. The school has been steadily increasing in numbers up 
 to the present time. 
 
 Conditions of Admission. The History of the United States has 
 been added to the branches in which candidates for admission are 
 
124 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 examined, and a more extended and thorough knowledge of each 
 branch is now required of the candidates. Each candidate is required 
 to sign the following declaration : 
 
 "I hereby engage that if admitted to this school, I will faithfully 
 observe its rules and regulations ; and it is my full purpose to remain 
 in the school four consecutive terms, or such a part of this period as 
 is necessary to complete ihe regular course of study, and afterwards 
 to teach in the public schools in Massachusetts." 
 
 The conditions of admission at the present time are these : Gen- 
 tlemen applying for admission must be at least seventeen years of 
 age ; ladies, sixteen. Candidates must present a satisfactory certifi- 
 cate of good moral character ; and must be free from any disease or 
 infirmity which would unfit them for the office of teacher ; must de- 
 clare their full intention of faithfully observing the regulations of the 
 school while members of it, and of afterwards teaching in the public 
 schools of Massachusetts ;* and must pass a satisfactory examination 
 in Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic, Geography, the History 
 of the United States, and English Grammar. A greater age and 
 higher attainments than those prescribed, with some experience in 
 teaching, make the course of study in the school much more valuable 
 to the pupil. These requirements will be strictly enforced. 
 
 Course of Instruction. The length of the course of study until 
 March, 1865, was three terms of twenty weeks each, and the course 
 included the following branches : 
 
 First. Reading, English Grammar (and Analysis), Geography, 
 (Mathematical, Physical, Political, and map drawing), Arithmetic, 
 History of the United States, Algebra, Vocal Music, Physiology, and 
 Hygiene, which are prescribed by law for all the public schools of 
 the State. 
 
 Second. Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Book-keep- 
 ing, Astronomy, Constitution of the United States and General Prin- 
 ciples of Government, Rhetoric, and English Literature, which, with 
 the exception of the last, are prescribed by law for the High Schools 
 of the State ; and a knowledge of their elements, at least, is deemed 
 essential to a competent preparation for teaching in all the public 
 schools. 
 
 Third. The Theory and Art of Teaching, including Mental and 
 Moral Philosophy, General Principles and Methods of Instruction, 
 School Laws of Massachusetts, School Organization and Government. 
 
 Exercises in Reading, Writing, Orthography, Composition, Vocal 
 Music, and Gymnastics extend through the whole course. 
 
 * Persons intending to teach in other States, or in private schools, are admitted by paying fifteen dollars a term 
 
 for tuition. 
 
MR. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION. 125 
 
 Botany, Surveying, Geology, Latin and other languages are 
 optional. 
 
 The primary object of the course of instruction is to secure a thor- 
 ough investigation of the principles of the studies pursued, and of 
 the best modes of teaching them. All the exercises of the school are 
 conducted with constant regard to preparation for the work of instruc- 
 tion in the public schools. 
 
 The Extension of the Course of Study. In 1863 a committee of 
 the Board of Education invited the Principals of the Normal Schools 
 to meet them with the Secretary of the Board " to consider if any 
 plan seems feasible for increasing the amount and elevating the char- 
 acter of the instruction afforded by said schools." After a day spent 
 in free and full discussion of the topic, "it was the unanimous opin- 
 ion that it was not advisable to enlarge the general course of study, 
 but that a more thorough mastery of that course in all its steps, and 
 a considerable extension of it in several important branches of study, 
 in order to meet the increasing demands of the schools for thoroughly 
 educated teachers, is greatly desirable. This can only be accom- 
 plished by extending the time of the regular course." The commit- 
 tee therefore recommended that another term be added to the regular 
 course of study in the Normal Schools, thus requiring an attend- 
 ance of two years in order to obtain a diploma. This went into effect 
 in all the Normal Schools in March, 1865. 
 
 The course of study since 1864 has been conformed to the course 
 adopted by the Board in 1866, as given on page 19. The extension 
 of the course to two years, with the admission of a new class at the 
 beginning of each term, made four regular classes in the shorter 
 course, which were designated respectively, beginning with the 
 entering class, the Junior, Ex-Junior, Sub-Senior, andJjSenior 
 Classes. The Board, in adopting the course given on page 19, pro- 
 vided that, " The order of the studies in the course may be varied in 
 special cases, with the approval of the Visitors." 
 
 The order, distribution, and range of studies, June, 1876. The 
 figure after the name of the study indicates the number of lessons 
 a week in that study. The sessions of the School are held each 
 week day, except Saturday, from nine and one-fourth o'clock to 
 twelve and one-fourth, and from two o'clock to four and one-half 
 o'clock. The last twenty minutes of the afternoon session are spent 
 in gymnastic exercises, and the session closes with singing. 
 
 The Devotional Exercises, occupying ten minutes, at the opening 
 of the morning session, include Reading of Scripture, Singing, 
 Prayer, and Chanting of the Lord's Prayer by the School. A Gen-

 eral Exercise, for twenty minutes, follows, in which a great variety 
 of topics are considered. The last quarter of the term the General 
 Exercise is devoted to singing by the School.

 The Advanced Course. Hon. Joseph White, the Secretary of the 
 Board of Education, than whom, the Normal Schools have had no 
 truer friend nor stronger supporter, in his report for 1867, says, "It 
 cannot have escaped the notice of any who are conversant with the 
 conditions and wants of our public schools, that, within a few years, 
 a demand has arisen for a class of teachers, both male and female, 
 who have a thorough normal training, added to a higher education 
 than our Normal Schools now give. This demand is rapidly increas- 
 ing, and it appears to me that it has now become so general and ur- 
 gent, that the proper measures for supplying ought to be devised 
 
128 BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 without further delay." To accomplish this object, Mr. White re- 
 commended that " all of the existing Normal Schools be supplied with 
 such additional teachers and apparatus as shall enable them to fur- 
 nish, in connection with the present course of study, instruction in 
 the higher branches of learning." In accordance with these recom- 
 mendations the Board of Education, on February 3, 1869, voted, 
 "that a supplemental course of study, occupying two years, be intro- 
 duced into each of the four Normal Schools, which shall comprise 
 the Latin, French, Higher Mathematics, Ethics, Natural Sciences, 
 and English Literature." 
 
 The first regular class under this Advanced Course was formed in 
 September, 1870. The studies are so arranged that graduates from 
 the shorter course may take the two additional years' work. Or pu- 
 pils who, on entering the school, have in view the completion of this 
 higher course, may take a part of its studies in connection with a part 
 of the branches in the shorter course, and in this way, at the end of 
 four years, be prepared to graduate from both courses simultaneously. 
 The latter arrangement gives the students the benefit of the study of 
 the languages in connection with the study of the other branches of 
 the course. 
 
 The Advanced Course now includes the following branches : 
 German and French ; the object aimed at in their study being to un- 
 derstand, to speak, to write, and to teach the language. Latin, the 
 ultimate object being to have the pupil get such a command of the 
 language that he can read, and understand, and teach it with ease. 
 Greek is taken in the same way by those sufficiently advanced to take 
 this in addition to the studies of this course. Advanced Algebra and 
 Geometry, Trigonometry, and Surveying. Advanced Physics, Chem- 
 istry with laboratory practice, Botany and Drawing, Ancient and 
 Modern History, Advanced English Literature, and an extension of 
 the course on Education, including the preparation of topics on vari- 
 ous subjects, the History of Education and essays on Educational 
 topics. 
 
 Aims and Methods of the School. The ultimate end of School 
 work is the education of the child. The ultimate object of the Nor- 
 mal School is to make the Normal pupil a skilled instrument for the 
 education of children, or, in other words, to make him, as far as pos- 
 sible, an educator. 
 
 Education is training all the -powers of the child till he gains 
 the ability aud inclination to make the best use of his powers. 
 The design of education is two-fold, first, to secure the right action 
 of the mind ; second, the acquisition of knowledge. 
 
MR. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION. 129 
 
 The processes of education are instruction, teaching and training. 
 Right thinking is secured by the right use of these processes. The 
 product of right thinking is mental power and knowledge. 
 
 The " teacher " is an educator. As such he must know ivhat the 
 different mental powers are, the order of their development, and how 
 they are called into right activity. In addition to this knowledge of 
 mind, he must know each pupil as an individual. He must also 
 know the. different kinds of knowledge, the order of their acquisition, 
 and the method of their acquisition. 
 
 The mind has three different modes of acting knowing, feeling, 
 choosing. We feel because we know, and we choose because of 
 knowledge and feeling. The activity of the sensibilities and the will 
 are conditioned upon the action of the intellect, hence the cultivation 
 of the intellect is of primary importance. 
 
 The intellectual faculties hold the relation of dependence upon one 
 another. The first activity of the mind is in perceiving the qualities 
 of external objects through the different senses. All ideas of exter- 
 nal objects come to the mind through the senses. The idea can be 
 gained only when the object is present to the mind. 
 
 The memory reproduces and recognizes the ideas gained by the 
 perceptive faculty ; hence the first exercise of the memory depends 
 on the action of the perceptive faculty. 
 
 The imagination combines thoughts of parts of different objects, 
 which have been perceived and which memory holds in mind, to 
 form its ideal object; hence, the action of the imagination is condi- 
 tioned upon the activity of the perceptive faculty and the memory. 
 
 The power of generalization in forming the idea, which consists of 
 the qualities common to all the objects of a kind, must use the quali- 
 ties which the mind has perceived and remembered. The power of 
 generalization, then, depends upon the possession of the facts fur- 
 nished by the perceptive faculty and memory. 
 
 The ideas of classes of objects must be known and remembered, 
 that the reasoning power may judge of their relations ; hence, the 
 reasoning power depends upon all the other intellectual faculties. 
 
 The mind is one, not divided, but having distinct modes of activity. 
 Skill in the use of any faculty is acquired only by the right use of 
 that faculty. The right action of one power will not give strength to 
 another power that is not used. The exercise of each faculty should 
 be guided by its relation to the other faculties. 
 
 The sensibilities are to be called into normal action, and the right 
 purpose is to be formed and followed ; right habits of observation, of 
 thought, of feeling, of action, are to be established. 
 
130 BRI&GEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 A course of study is required for the training of the mind. The 
 course needed for this purpose is a series of objects and subjects for 
 study arranged according to the order of mental development. This 
 course of study, from the nature of the mind, must be in two divisions, 
 an elementary course for training the perceptive faculties, memory 
 and imagination, in gaining a knowledge of facts about individual 
 objects ; and a scientific course, for training the reflective faculty in 
 acquiring general ideas and truths, and knowledge systematically 
 arranged. The elementary course must be so conducted as to pre- 
 pare the mind for the scientific course. 
 
 Methods. The principles of education are derived from the study 
 of the mind. The methods of teaching and training are determined 
 by these principles. Having a knowledge of the mental powers, and 
 of the objects and subjects to be taught there must be a selection from 
 these of what the pupil can understand and most needs to know. 
 Ideas and thoughts are to be gained from the objects of thought. 
 The right arrangement oi ideas must be observed. All lessons are 
 conducted upon the topical plan. The same method is employed 
 with both subjects and objects. Each is considered first as a whole, 
 and then in its parts. A subject is presented as a whole by clearly 
 defining it to show what it includes. It is then analyzed into its main 
 divisions, and each division is outlined in topics logically arranged. 
 The topics for the study of an object are arranged in the natural 
 order. 
 
 The lessons thus analytically arranged are assigned to the class, 
 showing them what to study, and in what order, and each topic is 
 taught to the class at the time the lesson is assigned so far as is neces- 
 sary to teach them hoiv to study it so as to be able to teach or present 
 it to the class. Oral teaching by question and answer is employed. 
 Preliminary questioning to ascertain precisely what the pupil knows, 
 and to show him what he needs to know, is the first step ; then in- 
 structive questioning, to lead the pupil to discover for himself the 
 ideas he is to gain, and to aid him to a correct expression of them ; 
 with so much of direct statement as is necessary to set before the 
 class in a connected form the results of the teaching and study. All 
 definitions are carefully worked out by explaining or illustrating the 
 ideas included in them. Nothing is to be done for the pupil which 
 he can do for himself. 
 
 After preparation, the class are thoroughly examined upon the les- 
 son. The outline of topics is first stated to present the lesson as a 
 whole. The topics are then taught to the class by different pupils, 
 the class and the teacher criticizing the teaching. Or, the pupil pre- 
 
131 
 
 sents the topic to the class, other pupils and the teacher make addi- 
 tions, and the class and teacher criticize the presentation. After the 
 teaching, or presenting, the teacher thoroughly questions the class on 
 all the important points of the lesson. 
 
 Each day a review of the preceding lesson is made, in its outline 
 and main points, to fix the facts in the mind by repetition, and to con- 
 nect the topics with the lesson of the day. Each main division of a 
 subject is reviewed, in its outline and main topics, to teach the rela- 
 tion of the topics. The subject as a whole is reviewed before leaving 
 it, in its outline and main points, to teach all the parts in their rela- 
 tions. By the topical mode of arranging and teaching the lessons, 
 the teacher knows what he is to teach, in what order, and how he is 
 to teach. The pupil knows what he is to study, in what order, and 
 how he is to study. In class work both teacher and pupils know 
 what points are to be made, and in what order, and the work moves 
 on promptly. This method aids the pupil to understand and remem- 
 ber, accustoms him to think in a logical manner, and gives him real 
 knowledge. 
 
 The teaching of the topics by the pupils secures the most thorough 
 preparation of the lesson, for the pupil must know the subject, the 
 logical arrangement of it, and how to teach it, or fail. It gives the 
 pupil command of himself, makes him self-reliant, develops his indi- 
 viduality. 
 
 All the class exercises, from the beginning of the course, are con- 
 ducted upon the principles and by the methods that have been indi- 
 cated. After the pupils have been trained in this way, to teach 
 philosophically, in as full a measure as the time will allow, they come 
 in the last term of the course to the study of psychology, and there 
 learn the philosophy of their work by rinding in the study of the 
 mind, the principles which underlie the methods they have learned 
 to use. 
 
 Text-books are used as books of reference in the preparation of 
 lessons. Statements of important principles and definitions are re- 
 quired to be memorized verbatim. The committing of text-books to 
 memory is avoided, the students being trained to depend upon objects 
 of thought rather than upon words. 
 
 The aim of this school is to give the pupil a definite idea of the 
 true object, the principles, and the methods of education ; a thorough 
 knowledge of the objects and subjects he will need to teach, with 
 such a degree of facility and skill in the application of these princi- 
 ples and this knowledge, as will enable him to organize and control 
 his own school, and to educate his pupils.

 Students are expected to govern themselves ; to do without com- 
 pulsion what is required, and to refrain voluntarily from all impropri- 
 eties of conduct. Those who are unwilling to conform cheerfully to 
 the known wishes of the Principal and his Assistants, are presumed 
 to be unfit to become teachers. 
 
 It is not deemed necessary to awaken a feeling of emulation, in 
 order to induce the scholars to perform their duties faithfully. Faith- 
 ful attention to duty is encouraged for its own sake, and not for the 
 purpose of obtaining certain marks of credit. 
 
 Examinations, both oral and written, are made each term in every 
 study, and the result in each must be satisfactory to enable the pupil 
 to advance to the studies next in order. Only those pupils who have 
 satisfactorily passed all the examinations in the prescribed course of 
 study receive the diploma of the Institution. The demand for grad- 
 uates of both sexes, to fill good positions in the public schools, is 
 greater than the school can at present supply. 
 
 Expenses and Pecuniary Aid. Tuition is free to all who comply 
 with the condition of teaching in the schools of Massachusetts, 
 wherever they may have previously resided. Pupils who fail to com- 
 ply with this condition are charged a reasonable sum for tuition. A 
 fee of $2.00 is paid by each pupil at the beginning of the term, for 
 incidental expenses. 
 
 For the assistance of those students who are unable to meet the 
 expenses of the course of instruction in the school, the State makes 
 an annual appropriation of eight hundred dollars, one-half of which 
 is distributed at the close of each term' among pupils from Massachu- 
 setts who merit and need the aid, in sums varying according to the 
 distance of their residences from Bridgewater, but not exceeding, in 
 any case, $1.50 a week. This aid is not furnished during the first 
 term of attendance. It is expected that those who do not complete 
 the prescribed course of study, and those who do not teach in the 
 public schools of Massachusetts will refund any amount they have 
 received from the bounty of the State. Applications for this aid are 
 to be made to the Principal in writing.

 NOTES BY THE WAY. 
 
 The Town of Bridgewater appropriated and paid five hundred dol- 
 lars to aid in starting the school, and gave the rent of the town hall 
 for its use for the first three years. Citizens of the town, in 1846, 
 subscribed and paid more than two thousand dollars toward the erec- 
 tion of the new school house. Mr. Tillinghast's pupils and some 
 friends of the school paid four hundred dollars for the same purpose. 
 
 Mr. Tillinghast records the following facts : " In December, 1842, 
 Mr. George B. Emerson, to whom, in many respects, the school 
 owes so much, placed at my disposal one hundred and sixty-five dol- 
 lars, for the purpose of purchasing the class books used in the school. 
 In August, 1844, Rev. R. C. Waterston paid over to me one hundred 
 dollars, that had been collected by him for the school. This sum, 
 with twenty-five dollars raised by subscription in the town, was ex- 
 pended for a theodolite. Hon. Seth Sprague, of Duxbury, presented 
 to the school apparatus to the value of one hundred dollars. Hon. 
 John Davis, late Judge of the U. S. District Court, presented a copy 
 of the London Encyclopedia, in twenty-two volumes. 
 
 In 1846, Mr. Emerson again manifested his interest in the school 
 by supplying, at his own expense, the furnaces for heating the new 
 building. Dr. Emerson has always been a warm friend of this 
 school, and has shown his regard by frequent visits in which he has 
 delivered to the school many interesting and instructive addresses. 
 During the last administration he has secured and presented large 
 and valuable additions to the library of the school. Mr. Conant, the 
 second Principal, presented a reflecting telescope Prof. Alpheus 
 Crosby, former Principal of the State Normal School at Salem, pre- 
 sented a copy of Ree's Encyclopedia, in forty-seven volumes. 
 
 Several of the late graduating classes, and some individual gradu- 
 ates, have presented to the school pictures, busts, and statuary, for 
 adorning the school-room. A fund for the purchase of a telescope 
 for the use of the school was started by the members of the seventy- 
 sixth class, which now amounts to two hundred dollars. The mem- 
 bers of the school for the eighty-sixth term paid for the chandeliers 
 and other gas fixtures in the main school-room. Other graduates 
 have made valuable contributions to the cabinets. The portraits of 
 Mr. Tillinghast and Mr. Conant, which hang in the school-room, 
 were presented by their pupils, respectively. 
 
 In the early history of the school it was sometimes difficult for the 
 students in attendance, who wished to go out and teach in the winter, 
 
134 BRrDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 to find any chance to teach. The school was new, was not known, 
 and there was a disposition on the part of many to wait and see what 
 it would become before encouraging its pupils by employment. The 
 young men often spent Saturday afternoons in the fall of the year in 
 visiting the Prudential Committees of the neighboring towns, seeking 
 to engage with them as teachers for the winter term. They were 
 looked upon with some suspicion, the committee " didn't know as he 
 wanted to hire," or in some instances they were told that "the District 
 didn't like Norman teachers." 
 
 The pecuniary inducements to engage in teaching in those days 
 were not great. Some of the lady graduates of the first class report 
 that they taught in the country districts for two dollars a week and 
 board, others for four dollars a week, including board. The young 
 men of this period report their wages at twenty-five or thirty dollars 
 a month, including board, and one reports "thirteen dollars a month 
 and board round." Some young men in the early classes, who have 
 made teaching a profession, began with twenty-five dollars a month, 
 and are now receiving $3,200 a year; a few have reached $4,000 a 
 year in the public schools. The highest income reported by any 
 graduate is $7,000 a year; he is teaching a private school. The 
 salaries of the lady graduates, as reported, have increased in about 
 the same proportion. The highest salary for any lady graduate 
 teaching in the public schools, so far as known, is $2,400. 
 
 The school has gradually made itself known and felt in the com- 
 munity through its graduates. Some have signally failed, but a large 
 majority have satisfied all reasonable expectations. Many have sus- 
 tained themselves for a long series of years in some of the most 
 responsible positions in all the grades of the public schools, as may 
 be seen by consulting the Alumni Record. 
 
 Mr. Philbrick, in his report of the school for 1870, writes as fol- 
 lows : " The Visitors of this school take pleasure in reporting that 
 its condition is highly satisfactory. There has never been a period 
 in its history when it has not been a school of high excellence. It has 
 justly merited its reputation for imparting solid instruction and thor- 
 ough training, rather than superficial and showy accomplishments." 
 
 In his report of the school for 1872, he says : " It is believed that 
 the school is every year approaching near to the true standard of 
 what a Normal School should be. While it aims to impart knowl- 
 edge with thoroughness, it places a greater value upon right training. 
 It tries to send out teachers who shall, love and respect their profes- 
 sion, and who shall be capable of independent thought and action, 
 and capable of judiciously adapting their plans and efforts to the 
 varying circumstances in which they may be placed. 
 
MR. BOYDEN'S ADMINISTRATION. 135 
 
 Mr. White, the Secretary of the Board, in his report for 1870, says : 
 " It is but just to remark that the Normal" Schools are better schools 
 to-day than they were ten years ago. Their drill is more thorough, 
 and there is a more complete adaptation of the instruction given, and 
 especially of the method employed in giving it, to the true objects of 
 such a school. 
 
 "Although the number of graduates is small in comparison with the 
 whole number of teachers in the Commonwealth, still their influence 
 upon the public schools is everywhere manifest. . Furnishing better 
 models, they have raised the standard and improved the methods of 
 teaching. By their professional enthusiasm and devotion to their 
 calling, they have inspired the great body of teachers with a like 
 spirit, and aroused them to earnest efforts for improvement in their 
 work. In this way, through the example and influence of their 
 graduates, the Normal Schools have performed a service of the 
 highest value to the public schools, but which cannot be measured 
 by tables of statistics." 
 
 In his report for 1872, he says : " Every year's observation of their 
 working has served to deepen my conviction that the Normal Schools 
 are destined to play a far more important part in our school system, 
 and to perform a more signal service for it in the future than they 
 have hitherto done. Hence my strong belief, that no outlay of 
 thought, of labor or of money necessary to give them the highest de- 
 gree of efficiency, and to add to their number so fast as new schools 
 shall be demanded, can be deemed an unwise expenditure." 
 
 The Board of Education, and especially the Visitors of the school, 
 including the Secretaries of the Board, ought ever to be held in grate- 
 ful remembrance by all the alumni and friends of the school for their 
 disinterested labors to secure for it the means and conditions of suc- 
 cess in its work. They have taken broad, generous views of educa- 
 tion, and have earnestly sought to promote the highest prosperity of 
 the school. Hon. Joesph White, the present Secretary of the Board, 
 has been a Visitor of the school for the last sixteen years. Hon. John 
 D. Philbrick was a Visitor for nine years, and during six of these 
 years was Chairman of the Visitors. Gardiner G. Hubbard, Esq., 
 the present chairman, has been a Visitor of the school the last eight 
 years. These gentlemen, by their wise counsel and efficient action, 
 have been instrumental in securing the means for erecting the board- 
 ing hall, and enlarging the school building, for extending the course 
 of study and furnishing better appliances for school work, and by 
 their constant encouragement have strengthened the teachers and 
 stimulated the pupils to higher endeavors.

 BRIpkEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 The following Tables, 3 and 4, are not entirely correct, since the returns 
 from which they were compiled were incomplete. More than three fourths of all 
 the past members of the School have been heard from, and much pains has been 
 taken to get facts in every case. They may, therefore, serve to show with a good 
 degree of accuracy the character and amount of the work which has been done by 
 our Alumni, together with some of the important facts in their history. 
 
 TABLE 3. Showing the number of persons heard from in each class, the 
 number of graduates heard from in each class, the total number of years of teach- 
 ing for all those heard from in each class, and the average number of years of 
 teaching for all those heard from in each class. Persons who remained in the 
 School only a short time after their admission have not been counted in the record 
 given in this table.

BRIDGEWATER NORMAJL LYCEUM. 171 
 
 BRIDGEWATER NORMAL LYCEUM. 
 
 In the autumn of 1839, several of the students of the Bridgewater 
 Academy formed themselves into a society called the " Bridge-water 
 Speaking Club," having for its object, as its name indicates, the im- 
 provement of its members in the exercise of declamation. This 
 society may be considered the germ from which has grown this Ly- 
 ceum. It consisted originally of ten members, which number was- 
 increased in a few weeks to seventeen. Two public exhibitions were 
 given with success. The interest in declamation began to diminish 
 after the stimulus of the exhibition was withdrawn, when it was sug- 
 gested that occasional debate would be more beneficial. It was soon 
 after voted to spend one-half of the evening in debate. The first 
 question for debate was "Are the works of nature more pleasing to 
 the eye than the works of Art?" The debate was a success. Meet- 
 ings were held once a week, and were private until September, 1840 ; 
 after this time spectators were allowed, and their presence greatly 
 increased the interest of the meetings. 
 
 In January, 1841, a lecture was delivered before the society by 
 Rev. Mr. Thurston, on the discovery of America by the Northmen t 
 A. D. 1000. This lecture gave so much satisfaction that it was pro- 
 posed to have occasional lectures from the members of the Club ;. 
 each in his turn was to favor the Club with his ideas on some familiar 
 subject. The lectures seemed to give a new life and interest to the 
 meetings of the society. About this time some of the students of the 
 Normal School became members of the Club, a new constitution was 
 formed, and the society adopted the name of "The Bridgewater 
 Young Men's Lyceum." The meetings continued to be held regu- 
 larly and with increasing interest. 
 
 In August, 1844, it was thought that some additional rules were 
 necessary for the government of the large number of members that 
 then attended the meetings of the society. A set of By-Laws was- 
 adopted, among which was one making Jefferson's Manual the stand- 
 ard by which to decide all disputes on points of order. The Consti- 
 tution was amended so as to have a standing President and Vice Pres- 
 ident instead of choosing a President at each meeting. On the sixth 
 ballot, Horace Chapin was elected the first President. The Lyceum 
 had now passed from the Academy into the hands of the Normal 
 students, although open to all the young men. Its meetings were 
 often crowded, a large part of the audience consisting of ladies- 
 
172 BRIDGKWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 From this time onward the Lyceum continued to hold its meetings 
 on Friday evenings during the terms of the school, until within a few 
 years when it has held them on alternate Friday evenings during the 
 term. For many years ladies have been members, and have taken 
 an active part in the exercises, with the exception of the debate, in 
 which they participate only to a limited extent. The object of the 
 Lyceum is mutual improvement. The present By-Laws provide that 
 the order of exercises shall be as follows : Calling of the Roll ; 
 Reading of the Journal ; Appointments by the President; Transac- 
 tion of business ; Report of Prudential Committee ; Declamations ; 
 Reading of Selections, or reading of the "Normal Offering, " as the 
 case may be ; Debate ; Criticism by the President, at his option. 
 Music shall be inserted in the order of exercises, at the discretion of 
 the President. The "Normal Offering" shall be read once in four 
 weeks, by a member appointed for the purpose. On evenings alter- 
 nating with those on which the Offering is read, there shall be decla- 
 mations by two gentlemen, appointed four weeks previous. On the 
 same evenings select pieces shall be read by two ladies, appointed 
 four weeks previous. At each regular meeting, the discussion of the 
 question reported at a previous meeting shall be in order, and shall 
 close five minutes before the time of adjournment.

 BRIDGEWATER NORMAL ASSOCIATION. 
 
 In 1842, the number of persons who had been pupils in the school 
 was one hundred and thirty. "As they were widely scattered, and 
 had few opportunists for perpetuating school friendship, the plan of a 
 Convention was devised, having for its objects the gathering of the 
 Alumni and pupils of the school, thus enabling them to spend a day 
 in social intercourse and Normal enjoyment." 
 
 "The first convention was held in the school-room at Bridgewater, 
 August 3, 1842. Ninety-nine of the past members of the school were 
 present. Joseph Underwood, Jr., presided. After the transaction 
 of the necessary business, addresses were delivered by Mr. Tilling- 
 hast, the Principal of the school, Rev. S. J. May, Hon. Horace 
 Mann, and Dr. Kendall, of Plymouth. At noon the Convention 
 proceeded to the Academy Hall and partook of a collation provided 
 by the Normal students and their friends. From the Academy the 
 company proceeded to the Unitarian Church and listened to a lecture 
 on " Punishment," delivered by Horace Mann. When Mr. Mann 
 had concluded, Rev. S. J. May made some remarks on the duties of 
 parents toward their children, as scholars. The procession then re- 
 turned to the school-room where a committee, who had previously 
 been chosen for the purpose, reported a series of six resolutions com- 
 plimentary to the following: The Normal School, the Common 
 School Journal, the Friends and Patrons of the Normal School, the 
 Board of Education and its Secretary, the Teachers of the Normal 
 School, and the people of Bridgewater." The Convention then ad- 
 journed for one year. 
 
 The Convention continued to be held annually. In 1845, the Con- 
 vention formed itself into an Association by adopting the following 
 preamble and a Constitution. 
 
 PREAMBLE. The State Normal School at Bridgewater, being now 
 permanently established, it is desirable that the graduates and scholars 
 of the Institution should effect a more perfect organization than has 
 hitherto existed. 
 
 It is believed that an Association, embracing the advantages of a 
 "Corresponding Society , "a " Teachers'" Institute" and a " Social 
 Gathering" of all who have been or may become members of this 
 school would give permanence to the friendship here formed, would 
 strengthen the attachment of its members to the duties of their calling, 
 and in many ways be an important auxiliary to the cause of Common 
 
174 BRIDGE WATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 
 
 School education. For the promotion of these objects, we, the grad- 
 uates and scholars of the Normal School, in Convention assembled, 
 hereby form an Association, and agree to be governed by the follow- 
 ing CONSTITUTION : 
 
 1. " The Association shall be called the Bridgewater Normal As- 
 sociation." 
 
 2. "The Officers shall be a President, three Vice Presidents, two 
 Secretaries, and a Treasurer. And these officers shall constitute an 
 .Executive Committee. 
 
 3. This Association shall hold a meeting in Bridgewater, Mass., 
 .annually, on the third Wednesday of August, for the purpose of trans- 
 acting business, hearing addresses, and of discussing questions relat- 
 ing to education. 
 
 4. "The officers shall be chosen annually, and shall perform the 
 duties usually incumbent on such officers." 
 
 5. "All the graduates and scholars of the State Normal School, 
 Bridgewater, shall be considered members of the Association." 
 
 6. " The Teachers, past and present, of the State Normal Schools 
 of Massachusetts, shall be Honorary Members of the Association." 
 
 7. "In selecting orators to deliver the annual addresses, prefer- 
 ence shall be given to members, or honorary members of the Associa- 
 tion." 
 
 Many amendments to this Constitution have been made, and By- 
 Laws have been adopted ; but the main objects and features of the 
 Association have remained substantially the same, except the idea 
 of making the Association a "Corresponding Society." Articles 
 were in the Constitution for the first two years after its adoption, re- 
 quiring each member of the Association to write a letter annually, in 
 the month of June, to the Executive Committee of the Normal Asso- 
 ciation, Bridgewater, Mass., giving a full account of himself for the 
 year, with his Post-office address. This plan was soon found imprac- 
 ticable, and abandoned. 
 
 The main features of the Association have been a business meeting 
 in the school-room, a public address in one of the churches, a colla- 
 tion, with after-dinner speeches, and a social reunion in the town hall 
 in the evening. Since 1&&8, the meetings of the Association have 
 been held biennially.
