The School of Pedagogy in connection with the University of the City of New York, is based upon the idea that a degree should follow successful teaching. It has three professors and a lecturer. Only those are admitted as regular students who are graduates of Colleges, or of the New York State Normal Schools, but others may, at the discretion of the Faculty, be admitted as auditors. It was established in 1890 and has had 134 students. The courses of study are as follows:-- 1. History of Education. 2. Psychology and Ethics. 3. Institutes of Education. 4. Educational Classics and Æsthetics. 5. Systems of Education. For the degree of Doctor of Pedagogy a thesis to be known as the “Thesis for the Doctorate in Pedagogy” has to be submitted for approval to the Faculty. This thesis must discuss a subject belonging to the field of one of the courses of study, and must show original treatment, or give evidence of independent research. Each student who has been a member of the Senior Class for two or more years will be entitled to the degree of Doctor of Pedagogy upon the following conditions:-- 1. He must have been credited with attendance upon the required lectures. 2. He must have been credited with attendance upon the required seminaria. 3. He must have passed an examination upon each of the five courses. 4. He must have presented the prescribed final thesis, and have received approval of the same. 5. He must have presented upon entering the School of Pedagogy a certain certificate showing four years’ successful experience in school-room work. Each student of the School who has been a member of the Junior Class for one or more years, and a resident student at least one year, will be entitled to the degree of Master of Pedagogy upon the following conditions:-- 1. He must have been credited with attendance upon the required lectures. 2. He must have passed the examination upon each of the four courses first named. 3. He must present a certificate showing three years’ successful experience in school-room work. The Iowa University was the first to allow pedagogics to count towards a degree. Graduates of the University who have included in their course the year’s course of pedagogy may, after two years of successful teaching, be granted the degree of Bachelor of Didactics. There is at New York an Institution which appeared to me to be unique in America, but of which the work more nearly resembled the best Secondary Training as carried on in Great Britain than any other which I had the opportunity of studying. It is known as the New York College for the Training of Teachers. It received its charter from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1889, constituting it a Training College with the power of granting professional degrees. This year, however, it enters on a new phase of its life, having been affiliated with the Columbia College at New York.
