Association, Tbe State Teachefs’ Association met in Pittsburgh on Tuesday tbe ,13th iasi., and continued in session three days. There /were a large , number of teachers of the State in attendance,, and a few from abroad. The prepared programme was adhered to, and a variety of ideas on ed ucation brought out by the different speakers, and in tbe general discussion ihat followed every essay or paper read. ? On the “Relation .of High Schools and Academies t<r Colleges,” the H »n. J. P. Wickersham said that the interest in higher edneation was declining. It - was a remarkable fact that the attendance of pupils in bar colleges was not greater now than it was twenty or perhaps forty years ago. The attendance did not aUfll keep pace with the increasbd population and wealth of the country. Another fact was the extraordinary' expansion of the common school system. A single fact, would illustrate this point, namely : that, in the last six years, since tbe speak er had charge of the schools of the State,, the aggregate annual amount spent for school purposes Lad increased from. $3,- 500,000<t0 $9,000,000. This immense sum was spent by tbe cbil Iren of the State in the education of her children. It’ was to the credit oi Pennsylvania, too, that no State in the Union bad provided so lib erally for tbe elementary instruction of the masses. Then sie two facts which he wished to audience were, that the the Slate were lan guishing, while the common schools were progressing rapidly. The question then rose, “How shall our colleges be supplied with students?” The common schools were not organized so as to qualify pupils for entering college. There was a missing link in the educational chain, and bow could it be supplied ? In the first place, be would have high schools established everywhere throughout the State, and in the second place he would have the acad emies and boarding schools graded—made high, classical and mathematical schools. He would be glad to see one or more such schools in every county. He was also In favor of a farther development of the common schools. and distinguish ed educators bad, at their meeting at El mira, advocated tbe limiting of a common school education to reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar. He, for one. repudiated all such doctrines as that, and he tell that he would be supported, not only by the law oSakers at Harrisburg, tut by the people at large. [Applause.] He hoped to see the time when the State would extend its aid academical schools, without undertaking ''to contru thera. What was needed, was to fit to gether the common school and the acade my, and the academy and tbe college. Oor high schools are not intended to pre pare boys and girls for college, but rather for business. They ought to aim higher. But the spirit manifested by tbe majority of parents was to get their boys out of school as B*loo aa possible. This spirit ought to be checked, and could be check ed by a proper public sentiment. The colleges would have to depend mainly on tbe high schobls, for years to come, and he therefore wanted to see intimate rela tions established between them. Boys should pointed to the college rather than to the counting-house and tbe work shop. All college Presidents should em ulate the example of their worthy, chair man (Dr. Hays) and come down from their dignified positions occasionally to affiliate and fraternize with tbe common school workers. [Applause.] Too many of them stood upon their dignity and held aloof. g We have room only to publish the reso lutions, but these embody the results of the several discussions and indicate the sense of the Association on the subjects brought before it. The resolutions which were unanimously adopted are as follows; Resolved, That a vote of thanks be ten dered to the teachers of Pittsburgh for the comfortable and elegant hall provided lor our meetings; and also fqr the pleas ant and very enjoyable boat excursion down the^hio. Resolved, That we most heartily com mend the co-operati »n existing between our public school teachers and professors of the classic of the Stale ; and that we will lend our aii and assist ance to the establishment of such schools, as will connect the public schools with the college. Resolved, That a more extensive coarse of study and a more thorough school dfs cipline, are most desirable for ail who are training for teachers; and that a higher mental and moral culture, on the part of instructors, would be the cer tain means of elevating all our institu tion? of learning, and rendering them more acceptable to the public. Resdved , That it is most desirable that our teachers be required to pass examina tion in, and be prepared to teach music and drawing, and that a committee of three lie appointed to make a report on these subjects at the next stated meeting. Resolved, That the attention of our school authorities be called to the condi* tlonof bootblacks and newsboys, as well as the thousands of other children not re*, *ceivlng the benefit of our public schools. Resoslved, That a vote of thanks be tendered to those members of the associa tion who prepared and read the able pa* pers presented for discussion, and to those who have furnished the excellent and entertaining music and readings which we have enjoyed-daring this ses sion. . . . . .

F. Bearss, came to bis death at Beaver Falls on the twelfth day of August, 1873, by violence received at the hands of some party or parties at present unknown to the Jury.” It was ascertained that the man had pawned a watch and chain at the broker shop of M. Strong, No. 7 Sixth street, Pittsburgh, for which he received twenty four dollars. Mr. Streng was sent for and testified before the Coroner’s Jury that this was the same man who had been in hUf office on Monday lasi, and that he had been there before and pawned the same watch and chain. He knew nothing further about the mao, where he lived or what his business was. Mr. Crane I testified that Mr. Bearss, in company with two other parties, came Into the Cntlery works and asked per mission to 41 look aroffnd,” which was granted them.

What to do with the Girls?— “Marry them,” says a fellow at our elbow, and his answer suggests just the consid eratioo which it behooves parents to think over. It is customary for boys at an early age of life to settle upon some definite occupation which serves as a sort of guide to their future life, and an an chor of present safety. As soon as their education be completed, at whatever age, they engage in some pursuit, by which they are lifted from Idleness and frivolly into a course in the pursuit of which they attain honor and usefulness. But with girls tbe case is quite tbe reverse, for af ter completing a curse of education, which is in itself too often superficial, they enter into a period of inactivity. There seems to be a deeply rooted preju dice against her engaging in anything which should seem to be a lify*a work, and tbe idea of learning a trade is repug nant to the teachings of fasni >cable so ciety. By this entire absence of any real work to do the only thing which seems left to a large class of women is to get married, an event which is in many cases unfortunately precipitated by the force of these circumstances, which hedge about tbe life of a single woman in genteel so ciety. The prejudice against a woman in however favorable circumstances, earning her bread by her own labor is an ill-found ed and silly one, and the sooner wise men and women learn this the better it will be for the physical and moral life of this and all succeeding generations.
