E MIMI MI In retorting :he attention of • the Legisla ture to the elallorate reports of the Auditor deneral and State Ticastiree, relating to the Finances of the State, it hich will be laid be fore you, I cannot refrain from giving ex pression to my views on the importance of a change in the mode of keeping and disburs mg (ho public moneys. The State Treasurer receives and dishurs ea between four and live millions of dollars annually: and It not unfrequently happens that there is a balance on the Treasury ex ceeding one million of dollars. The bond of the Treasurer in but fur eighty thousand dollars. Ile deposits the money of the State wherever he pleases, and it ii paid excluoively on his own check. The month ly settlements with the Auditor General af ford some security .that the funds of the einputonisissl i th will not be misapplied ; hut it ilt entirely inadequate to the complete protettion of the public interests. f:;nill the State shall adopt a different sys tem for the collection, safe-keeping and dis bursments of her revenues. the uniney on band must be kept either 111 ( lie Treasury vault or deposited with the banking :iisti lotions in the Stile. For many years the intuit has been adopted. I respectfully re einninend that provision be made that no money shall he deposited in any bank by the State Treasurer tt ithout ru [Wiring firelatily to lie list •got en to the Commons% colt?' for the rem mem of the puma depopted—that all cheeks issued by the State 'treasurer shall be comitersLoied by the Auditor General before they are used—and that dailY accounts of the moneys received and paid shall be kept in the office of the Auditor (lent ral as well as in the TreaAttty Department.'

' - }EDITORS OF THE DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN : Towards keeping tip your supply for the Educational Department, I noller a few thoughts on the further, development and effectiveness of those most valuable auxil iaries to scholastic improvement—Durrawr AifIOCIATIONS OF TEACHERS. The first duty and objectof the members of then° associations is, undoubtedly, their mutual improvement as teachers, by regular Class practice in the lessons which they are required to give,and with the books and appa paratus they are required to use; by emend atory criticisms ; by the genial influences of intercourse, and by discussion of questions of discipline, kc. ; add of all means of sup pressing false and ,martens teaching, ancl of improving as mina as possible the pro- AtiollS (IMO of pupils and all the means and responsibilities confided to their trust. On doing this faithfully, it will certainly bo considered allowable for teachers to de vote a fraction of the tune of these reunions to their own special improVement ; and it in in regard to this that I propose tp offer few considerations. Young wen are apt to suppose that, bee.ause the ancient, languages are generally taught: in colleges,they ape the vehicles on which it is safest to take passage for future literary dis tinction and emolument. But the days of the ruinous college system of word-stuffing have gone tor forever.' The advocates of this system have claimed that the faculties of the mind should first be disciplined and eillind ed—fitted to receive future stores of appli cable knowledge—by a course of lingual and metaphysical abstract study, snd then the student is qualified to gather for himself from the fields of knowledge whatever mau -1 tal stores and futuiture he may choose. But the success of the modern schools of applied science shows that stores or useful practical knowledge may he taken in from the first, and that the mind improves the faster, and retains • more healthild tone, if arts are taught with sciences, and if at once the hand practices andatilustrates the theor ies of the hooks. Young men who wish to prepare them selves for fun& usefulness by intellectual exertion should apply themselves to thp practical scierwes. While we have a su perabundance of smatterers and professed teachers of languages; dialetts and words, dead it thousand years art , we have few inil-ed to enter the great field of Pin sics— tiros , a, the earth itself, and promising a bundsiit harvests to all laborers who enter, whether as chemists, mechanicians, engi neers, geologists, culturists, electricians, teachers of scientific echo-its, or of siliools `,reparatory, or any of the thousand daily inert n , ,ink arts and subdivisions of arts bas ed upon nature's laws and man's necessi ties. Difficulties in tho way of a young,man in the country acquiring positive, practical knowledge in this department of science, arc the want of teachers and of apparatus, and the expense of procuring the latter. But such works as Tate's First Lessons Swan. adti Brewer, Boston, 68c.j and (Porter's Principles of Chemistry' and Allied sciences. A. S. Barnes it Co., 81) teach end exhibit the profoundest and most important secrets of nature, with the ' use of simple every day agents and aptili slices : all the necessary means to per/tiros all the experiments costing less than two dollars. To an association of teachers and advanc• ed pupils the it hole expenditure for a whole course would be little ij any more than a dollar each, and if the 'principles are well studied in the intervals of meetings—say 20 to SO pages - the illustrative experiments ran be performed in the presence and with the aid of all the members in en hour or two of their bi-weekly sessions, and will add greatly to the interest and profit of the re union. And if thus learned they will be as s-cll learned at least, as if the knowledge is poured in by professional and costly teach• crc, with the aid of glittering and intricate apparatus which the student looks at but never handles W.

The char. actor of this House depends upon you, gen• tlemeti, apd not upon him whom you have chosen to preside over your deliberations.— Yet high obligations devolve upon me, and I shall not iihnok from them.
