From Ilarry A. ShoeinoL'.r.
f Communicated. I
FEssio. This is a subject on which much
h beu said and wriltea from time to time
by teachers and others, but very little has as
yet been . fcocomrhtibed. It 5a a tubiect in
, v,licb crery teacher aad friend of popular
j V-Latien is cletply interested. Siow there
; ;3 IO rPasoa wby the teachers profession
, ij tot to eIeVated aa to hold
a re
spectable runk among other professions, and
command the respect of the world. Is not
i e who assists iu developing the immortal
taid one of the world's greatest benefac
tors I Ought net his profession, taen, hold
a respectable rank in th world, and be
made! one that would maintain itself? Cer
fa'idy It should, and could, if the nroner
j s'ers were taken in ths right direction. But
i .n whom does this work of elevation rest?
j Cn the people ? On the directors ? On the
j Str.te Department of Common Schools? Or
' do, ., it rest on the teachers therRselvcs7 It
mutt certainly rest oa the teachers. If the
j people, tho directors, the State Department
j ami the teachers would put forth a united
j ehUrt, the work would be a comparatively
! y one, inasmuch as they can each do a
! vast amount towards accomplishing that
I end. But on the teachers themselves rests
j tUe. grfcat Work. There are several prelimi
j nary steps wkich most be taken iu order to
j hit ure Luccss.
j Fii bt, The profession should be relieved
.;i uiOii who are not naturally qualified for
discharging the duties of this high aud noble
calling. TLere arc those in the profession
who have by their practice given uumis
t iheable evi dunce that nature did not origi
nally detigu them for the teacher's profes
sion. The sooner the profession gets ria of
tbm tho soolcT will a great and irxmortant
j stop be taken in tho direction of elevation.
A profession made up of "quacks" cannot
command respect. !
: Secondly, The elevation of the profession
nue-l be precceded hv the elevation of the. I
; iularics ; and from all appearances this work
i tic valves upon h teu'-hera. They should
j iuvui iably act uj.ca tho principle that it
! takes two parties to niuke a bargain. Uu
j der the present i;te of affairs the bargain
; making power is altogether vested in one
j party. If a teacher does not feel inclined
j to a&ccpt of the salary offered, Ids only alter
j native is to let it alone, and a cheaper man
i takes the situation. The teacher should al
1 ways h" v a word or two to say in legard to
I the salary he is to receive. Teachers in
; orj' county t.hcul.1 meet, and by common
i toiisent, fix on the salaries which'they shall
i re-eive, and in no case alio1..- themselves to
be employed for a less Kinount than that
j vhieti hA been agreed upon. Let the teach-
ers of each county arrange thru solves in
j tv--o or three grades, each teacher entering
ti.e grc Is to wuich his qualifications entitle
I him to belong. A becond or third class
j to.-.cher will not long wish to remain in a
! tirst cla.-s schcKjl, and a first class teacher
. - ill hive nothing to do with a second or
i thi:ii class school. Tho teachers should
I t hen strictly ndhere to the amount of salary
which their grade requires. A teacher can
then demand f 45 or $C0 per month, and at
f
uiti buuiu urns tuvs mie assurance mat no
other teacher of his grade in the county will
f ?ach for a ltes amount. And there can be but
cue rcBult. The school cannot stand idle.
Low salaries is and always has been one of
the greatest drawbacks to the teacher's pro
fession. Ey m :.t younsr teachers it is oulv
made as a kind ef a ttart iu the world a
- .
stopp ug btcuje to something more lucrative.
- They outer the profession without having
the s'igi.tct notion of tiakiue it a nerma-
tiun Lei i in ti.ii j ntnt business, 6imply because the compen
4 weil h,i tiif-t T i satlon which they receive for their labors
will not lusilfy them in making it a work
for lifa. But eoine have labored in the pro
feesion long enough to become bo poor as
not to be able to leave it. Were the wages
raised to a standard at which men could
earn a respectable livelihood, men of educa
tion aud ability would remain in the school-
-''- r- and be ornaments to the profession.
tLc j The very best means by which theprofes
....t ?on and Commoa School cause can be ele-
. ;, j vated is to have the profession composed of
I., i- j educated, alio, faithful and eKcient teachers
teasers wno will at all times be an honor
to the profession ; and they can be retained
in it by no other means than by increasing
the salaries. When the profession is com
posed of efficient teachers, the confidence fn
toe Common School mi
, . .. ..... Ml l,1bJ
j incre.ed, aud receive the support of all
classes. There Would then be some imlnpo.
j mcnts for persons to ruake special nrepara
i tioti for this noble calling, and it would be
esteemed nu honor to belong to the grand
. army oi bumraon bchool educators. The
j person who then makes his liviug by faith-
iuoy i;.jparnng Knowteuge anu instruction
to the rising generation will occupy aa high
aud respectable a position, at least, as ho
who makes his living by the infirmities or
dissensions of mankind. J. X, Gati.

Eminsbhbs, Feb. 27, 1868.
Mr. Editor : Mr. James J. Kaylor, the
retiring Poor House Steward, publishes a
card in the Free man of last week, in which
my nnme is mentioned. I crave a short
space for a reply on the same terms. So far
as have kad anything to do with the di
i set ion of matters. I had neither the fear or
the love of the outeoing or incoming Stew
ard to sway me in the perform uce of a duty
I owe to the people of Cambria county.
The Board of Directors adopted the view
that all personal property on the Poor House
Fsrm should belong to the county, without
any mixing up of the property claimed by
the Steward, or any other perBon, Numer
ous complaints had been mada as to the
Stewardship of Mr. Kaylor, and without
deciding, iu the first place, whether these
charges were well or ill-founded, we deter
mined to avoid future difficulty. There was
no inventory to be found to show that any
of the property an the farm, or in the houee,
belonged to Mr. Kaylor, and we knew the
fact that several loads, euough to start Mr.
Kaylor at farming and housekeeping at
"Home," were removed by him from the
Poor House, under a claim of property. As
the personal property of Col. McDermitt, or
the greater part of it, was needed to supply
what was thus removed, three competent
and intelligent persons were choseu to ap
praise the articles so taken, undtr oath, at
their cash value.
The incoming Steward, Col. McDermitt,
claimed that as be was to be responsible for
all the property, an inventory should be
taken of what he found in the building and
on the farm, when he took possession ; and
the Directors thought it entirely projr, for
him as well as the county, to make such
appraisement. Accordingly, James Myers,
H. C. Devine and F. P. Tierney, three re
putable citizens, were chosen and sworn to
perforu that duty faithfully. These gentle
men pascea through the buiidmtr and over
the farm, and I need not state to those who
know them, performed their duty faithfully.
An article or two may havo been passed
without observation, for ought I know, but
of this the appraisers may "advertise" for
themselves. Indeed a superanuated "coffee-mill,"
or a "cake eutter," or other items
may not be on the list, but I am at a loss to
see that this affects Mr. Kaylor in ajy way.
The truth is, Mr. Kayl jr is too sensitive
to be honest. He stems determined to cover
-up his own tracks by bellowing as lustily as
that celebrated Poor House bull of his, at
everything done by tho present Board of

as belonging to the county, and afterwards
drive three of them away as your own?
Didn't yon get $100 for tho hire of a buggy
worth half that sum, which j-ou Used for

Johs D. Thomas.
niiMi.ocK, Feb. 24, 1868.
Dear Freeman : Knowing no goxl rea
son why the readers of the Freeman should
not occasionally have the news from Old
Washington, particularly about election
times, 1 am induced to give them the re
turns of the t lection on Friday last. The
Mongrelites had everything cut and dry for
a graud campaign, and to their great aston
ishment succeeded in being gloriously de
feated. It was the most amusing election
that Washington has had for some time. In
order to make a show at all the opposition
formed a ticket of Damocrats and Republi
cans. It is but justice to the Democrats, or
most of them at least, to say that they knew
nothing of the arrangement, and that their
names were used without their consent.
They went on the method that desperate
cases require desperate remedies, and their
efforts in behalf of their ticket astonished
the "oldest inhabitants," but was of no
avail. The Democracy have not yet forgot
ten when their friends were arrested in the
dead hours of the night and sent off to Ab
olition bastiles for advocating Democratic
principles, nor do they fail to remember
when the "late lamented" had his soldiers
stationed in Democratic diftricts for the pur
pose of running Democrats away from the
polls. These things didu't happen yester
day to be forgotten to-day.
Tho number of votes polled were 1G7, and
the following named geutlemen were elected
to fill the various offices : JusticeVof the
Peace F. M. George and P. McGough ;
Judge of Election James Noon ; Inspec
tors II. J. McCIoskey and II. Kimmell ;
Assessor R. Detling ; Constable William
Maxwell; Auditor W. II. MeEnme ; Su
pervisors Owen Sweeney and D. O'Skelly ;
School Directors G. J. Schroaderer, Wm.
Brown, M. Mconey, J. Hamilton and T.
Monahan j Township Clerk Jacob Bur
goon. -
After this result, it ia not likely that thosa
Democrats who knowingly made tools of
themselves by allowing their names to go
on the opposition ticket, as well as those
who were inveigled into voting for it on the
plea that it was not a party ticket, will
commit another ktich a blunder for it is to
be hoped, at least, that they will loek to
their friends and not their enemies, for sup
port hereafter.
Kuowing the persons elected to be sound
Democrat?, honest, intelligent, upright and
modest gentlemen, 1 have no hesitation in
eaying that they will bear their honors with
the dignity becoming the stations to which
they have been chosen. WTAsniNGTox.
