X * I TBIP TO BLISIRAi NEW TORE. Educational Association Papers Bev. Thos. K Beeeher-Hon. Hora- tio Seymour, dcc.«4ce. Leaving Pittsburgh on Iberia, 20 p. M train on the Central, reached Harrisburg in time tor a good night’s rest and ipvig orated for a day light tide up the Basque banna to this place. I need not speak oi the beauty and grandeur of the s cenery so well known as characteristic of this route, nor the safety and comfort of these reads, now, I believe, entirely controlled by the Pennsylvania Central, as this fact is a sufficient guaranty that n«> expense Will be spared to secure these ends to the traveling pnbllc. immediate object of my visit here at this time is the 13th Annual meeting of the National Teachers’ Association. Xour readers may gain some idea of the Importance of the gathering, when in formed that twenty-nine of the States are represented in this meeting. The array of talent gathered hero has nevp| been equalled at any former session of the As sedation. Possibly larger numbers have attended at some former session, yet I learn thht the enrollment of members has never been so large. Another improve ment observed "la the heartier co-opera tion of College and Public School men, and the larger attendance of the former. The General Association is presided over by Prof. B. H. Northrop, of Conn , one of the best presiding officers this or any other gathering ever possessed. In the afternoon the Association divides it self into four sections, meeting in differ ent portions of the city, namely, the Normal '. Department, Department of Higher Instruction, Department of Ele mentary Schools, and Department of Superintendence. Carefully prepared papers are read by distinguished educa tors, in each of these followed by discus sions on the points presented in the pa pers. By this plan much more is accom plished than if the Association met as a while all the time. General meetings -are, however, held in the morning and at night, where a similar order is pursued. This arrangement gives to each teacher tbp opportunity to be present and take part in the exercises of department In which he is most interested or desires to participate. A paper on Upper Schools, by Dr. Me- Cosh, of Princeton College, elicited con siderable discussion, and was fail of prac- thought. The Dr. pleads for the fostering of Higher Schools, that shad form the connecting link between the Common School and the College proper. One of the sharpest papers that 1 heard in the Normal Department, and one which was severely handled and as ably defended, was read by. Miss Delia La throp, Principal of the Training School at Cipmobati; subject, Training School— tbelr place in Normal School work. She plead earnestly for more distinctive pro fessional training, on the part of the schools, and less attention 'to the study of the branches to be taught, claiming that the candidates for these Normal Schools should be required to pass rigid examina tions in these branches before admitted to the} Training School. Dr. Wickersbam, Superintendent of the of PennsUcania. addressed the /Association at different times, and is al ways happy ia his remarks. Prof. Atkin son, of the Institute of Technology of Boston, Mass., read a paper on “A Liber ral Education for the Nineteenth Centu ry,” in which he look ultra ground against the study of the Classics, hut failed to carry the Association with him. The view in which the most strenuous admir ers of the Classics harmonize is that their study should be used as one of the means for securing a liberal education. The Prof, is one of the finest speakers in the Convention. The first morning utter I reached here slopping at the Ralbban House, the wail-’ er seated me at the head of the then near jy empty table. Soon he seated on my right the Superintendent _of Education from Loui i ma, and on tny left Prof. Langston, of Howard University, Wash ington, D. C., both colored, yet intelligent and, 1 may add, accomplished. The lat ter Is a graduate of Obeil n, and is the first colored lawyer admitted l<> practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. Hon. J. C. Gebbs, a very dark negro. Superintendent of Education ia Florida, read an interesting paper on the “Caus- 1 of Education in the South.” These col ored men were as warmly received and as highly honored as any men of the same culture, and occupying the same pub ir and responsible n >silions, and why not? All speak hopefully of the South because of the interest taken in the cause of edu cation. lion. Horatio Seymour, one of the pur est and noblest and accomplished penile men of the Empire State, accidentally in town, addressed the Convention yester day in a very happy mariner, and whs warmly rec« ived Rev. Titos. h. Beech er, younger brother of Henry Ward, and “a chip oft the same hl-ick,” is pastor •'* a flourishing church m fl.ir place. He was called nut for gome remarks last eve ning, and responded in a very earnest and I impressive manner. He was a teacher for five years, i Sunday evenings he preaches in the Opera House sin the win ter, and in the afternoon at this season, in o-Eldredge’s Park. He draws the crowd, whereupon some ot the conserva f ive min isters who hi Hove in saving people onlv i i accordance with prescribed methods, proper to make violent attacks on | him, especially one Knox, not John, h 8 been giving some heavy knock# on the pi irate character of Dr. Bldridge, who, fosootb, is not a church member, bat has spent $309,0)3 on bis park, and throws it open to the city, and befitted ap a bean* »itul stand for the ministry, with comfort able seats for 5003 persons. Ha seeks to bring the people there at an hour when here is no service in the churches, and invites the ministers of all denominations to preach m them.. Surely every one possessed of the true spirit of the Great Teacher will say G *d bless him. The Dr., who is s*id to have been in the old Brie Ring with Gml 1 and Pish; bus added 200 acres to this park, making 400 in all, which he is going to fit up in the best style and preseat it to the city; This is a beautiful town situated ou the Chemung river,~a branch of the Basque banns, and contains about 20,000 inbab Hants. It has not been my privilege to visit a town more “beau’iful for situa- tion” in respect of extent or expansion and beautiful drives tbau this one, about tea miles from the Pennsylvania Hoe. The ci'izens have vied with each other to render the stsiy of the Convention pleas ant, while the local committee, with the Mayor at its bead, has proved very effi cient. The results of the Convention cannot fail to be widely beneficial. E locators will go down from this place, having listened to sturdy thoughts on their call ing, and many a teacher will be lifted out m| the “rot” into which he had uncon- sciously Mien. The cause of popular education was never of more importance, nor was it ever dearer to the great Amer ican people. May God speed the day when broader views shall be entertained and when everywhere there shall be found the disposition to foster with a liberal hand our educational institutions, the conservators of our liberties, and the sorest means of elevating and blessing the race.
