Toronto Normal School
The Toronto Normal School was a teachers college in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1847, the Normal School was located at Church and Gould streets in central Toronto, and was a predecessor to the current Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.〔''Toronto Normal School (Ont.)''. Fonds description. Archives of Ontario.〕〔''(MISSION & PURPOSE ).'' Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Retrieved 2008-04-21.〕 The Royal Ontario Museum, the Ontario College of Art & Design and the Ontario Agricultural College all originated at the Normal School's campus, officially named St. James Square, such that the school became known as "the cradle of Ontario's education system".〔''From Cradle to Computer: A history of St. James Square, the birthplace of Ontario education.'' (Ryerson Polytechnical Institute: Toronto, 1984).〕 The school's landmark Gothic-Romanesque building was designed by architects Thomas Ridout and Frederick William Cumberland in 1852. The landmark building was demolished in 1963, but architectural elements of the structure remain on the campus of Ryerson University.
==Establishment==
In the 1830s, the authorities in Upper Canada first recognized the need to establish a normal school in the colony to train teachers. It was not until 1846, however, that Egerton Ryerson issued his landmark report entitled "Report on a System of Public Elementary Education for Upper Canada".〔''(EGERTON RYERSON, 1803-1882 ).'' Ryerson University. Retrieved 2008-04-21.〕 In that year, the United Province of Canada passed its ''School Act of 1846'', which provided for initial grant of $6,000 for the construction of a building and for an annual subsidy of $6,000 for maintenance of the school.〔
On November 1, 1847, the ''Provincial Normal School'', as it was first known, opened in the former Government House of Upper Canada. An accompanying Provincial Model School was opened in 1848, in the renovated Government House stables.
In 1849, the Parliament Buildings in Montreal were burned down in a riot, and the capital of the Province of Canada was relocated to Toronto. The colonial administration required the use of the old Government House, and the Normal School was temporarily displaced to the former Temperance Hall on Temperance Street.〔
