FAIMIUNG IN THE UNTIV STATEN.
As yet, the science of farming is in its
Infancy. With rare eiceptions,the culti
vation of the soil in the United States is
wastefol, eiegltgont and unsystematic.—
Our cultivated lands are, In may Sec
tions, passing through a coursa of general
deterioration, of *kWh the crwthers seem
quite unconscious, because- the souses
which produce that deterioration are not
at once apparent to them ; the same lands
are cultivated year after year with the
same crops, without a thought that the
elements of the soil which are removed
with. the productions of every - harvest,
must he renewed by the application of
fertilizing material. Excessive moisture
from an indurated sub-soil, which has
tower beep scratched, oven by a plow or
spade, checks vegetation continually, at
the very season when the atmospheric
agencies are most favorable to the devel
opment of vegetable growth; and noxi
ous weeds are permitted to dispute sue
eessfully for the possession of the soil
which ought only to sustain the life-sus
taining plants which the farmer /MS
planted.
In thorough draining, deep tillage and
liberal manuring; the American farmer
can find employment for all the time and
money at his command; and he can
not attbrd to neglect these three great es
sentials of good farming,' if he would
maintain a sturdy independence, enjoy a*
serene and comfortable old age,"and leave
something beside a good name as a lega
cy to his children. He who depends on
mother earth for support, cannot afford
to invest any portion of the
. increase
which she attbrds in stocks or speculative
enterprises of any Mild. Even the sav
ings bank bi a poor place of deposit, if he
has a muck bed, a peat meadow, or a
marl bed in his neighborhood. Let him
not fear to trust the earth, for her in
crease will be in proportion to his confi
dence and faith. The most successful
farming ever known has been done by
those who have expended upon their
lands, in a single season, an amount
equal to the value of the laud Itself.—

SCHOOL 81rIPERINTENDENDIS REPORT.
ADAMS COUNTY.—Aaron lihhely
Thouselt.—Eight new houses have been
erected since the date ot my last report.
Of this number, Franklin and Hamilton
ban
have each two, and Butler, Oxford
Dud Reading each one. The one la 13ut-1
ter', at Center Mills, Is a large, commodl
-0113 and beautiful brick building, supplied
with good furniture and ample black- I
board surface. Mr. J. G. Weaver, the
contractor and builder, resides in the vi- I
cinity, is a warm friend of common
schools, and took special pains to erect a
building in every Way creditable to him-
self and the district. The phit of the
house is excellent, and the materiel used I
in its construction of the bestquatity. lu i
short, it is a model country school house. I
Directors who contemplate building,
6hould examine it.
The other new houses erected are all
good and substantial edifices.
Houses t': V.—We have still a number
of houses unfit for school purposes. By
reference to last year's report it will be
seen where they are.
There is one district, however, that de
serves special mention in this connection, I
and that is tittlestown. This, a town of
considerable size, wealth and enterprize,
contains three schools, hut cannot boast
of asingle public school building fit for
Kubota purposes. The directors have
rented the lecture room of a church, and
in this they mauage to accommodate two
of their schools. The other is kept in an
old, meanly furnished log cabin, located
on an alley, in the out-skirts of the town.
It. is the intention of the Directors to put
up al building large enough to ftecommr
date !all their schools as soon as they
throtigh. with grading and pavinr
streets, and all other important
now engrossing their attention.

nifure.—The new houses are gener
a:_- buppl ied with good, though for the
moSt part, plain furniture, but many of
theold ones are lamentably deficient in
thili particular. It is now pretty general-1
ly admitted that a'school desk should be '
something more than a board fastened to
the wall, at a uniform height, in such a
way ns to form a steep, inclined plane, at
which it is utterly Impossible for a child
to learn to write. The opinion is fast
gaining ground, that the school should
he made as pleasant and attractive as the
home; and that to become so, it must
have all the necessarymppliances for coin- ,
fort as well as for study.
&140018.—The war has had a very-de
pressing effect upon our schools, from
which they have not yet fully recovered. ,
On account of the high bounty taxes in
many districts, directors unwisely short
' ened the term to the minimum length of
four months, and also reduced the wages
to the very lowest gates. So long as di
rectors do not pay Wages more commen
surate with the toils, trials, difficulties
and responsibilities of teaching, we must
expect to have sortie poor schools,.
'rho majority of our schools were In the
hands of eauscientioua, faithful teachers, I
, who discharged their duties to the best
of their ability, A. few failures occurred
during, the winter, owing mainly to want
of stitileient scholarship and executive
ability.
The only disttifeta which had fall terms,
were Cumberland and Straban. Iq (let,
' tysburg the school year is divided into
two terms, of feu and a half mouths
each.
Nzaminations.—My first public exami
nation of teachers fur the year was held
In Gettysburg, in July, and all the others
'during the mouths of August and Sep
tember.
A second examination was held in Stra
ban, to examine teachers for the winter
term.
(Teachers being Beane the °leaders were
generally very small, At tour of my ap- !
• poiutinents not a single applicant ap
peared.
The examinations were generally well
attended by directors and other friend& I
of education.
At the close of the public examinations
' teachers hail been secured for only about
one-half the schools. With much diffi
culty, and after In ueb delay, all were sup
plied with teachers, though many of them
were decidedly incompetent. Private
examinations were so very frequent that ;
for several months afterwards, scarcely a
day passed that I was not called on to ex.!
amine one or more applicants. I have
reason to know that teachers sometimes
Itook advantage of the scarcity, to shirk a
public examination. At the request of
directors, I renewed a few certifioates, !
There is nothing In the law to justify this
practice, and it should therefore be dia- 1
continued. By it the main object of the;
law Is defeated, Directors - and teachers
should not ask a superintendent to do'
what they know he has-no right thdo.
Teaoheiv.—Our teachers are for the

soon as they acquire a little skill and ex
perience, they, as a general thing, go
where their services are more apprecia
ted and better rewarded, or abandon the
profession altogether. Many are forced
to do this, because the low rates of wages
pald in many districts will not aftbrd
them a living. The average salaries of
males per month, last winter, was about
twenty-six dollars, and the average of fe
males a fraction over twenty-three dollars.
The highest at erage for males forty dollars
and seventy-seven cents, was paid in Get
tysburg, and the next highest, thirty dol
lars, was paid in Conawagoand Hampton.
The lowest average for males, twenty-one
dollars and fourteen eents i was paid in
Highland. The highest average per
month for females, twenty-eight dollars
And a half, was paid in Huntington, and
the lowest, seventeen dollars and thirty
three cents, In Oxford. From this it will
be seen that theeompensation of teachers
in this county is entirely inadequate.
Some very good teachers refuse to teach
because they can make more by working
as common day-laborers. A good teach
er refused' to teach last winter, because
he was offered two dollars a day for ma
king staves and shingles. Day laborers
here get from a dollar and a half to two
dollars, anti mechanics from two to three
dollars per day. I know a butcher's boy
that gets twenty dollars per month and
board. This is indeed a deplorable state
of affairs. No wonder many of our bet
ter class teachers leave the county, or quit
a profession that brings them but a scan
ty living. But there are men who think
that the teacher who is employed for
four or five months In the year, at twen
ty-five dollars a month, has a very good
situation.
Yes, there are those In our midst who
think that the man who receives a - dollar
a day forteaehing,gets"big" wages. Out
of this scanty allowance many teacher
are obliged to pay from $,2 50 to $3 00 per'
week for boarding. The teacher should
receive a compensation that will more
than barely afford him a respectable live
lihood. Life has its vicissitudes for the
teacher /14 well as for other classes of per
sons, and he should receive such a com
pensation as will enable him to lay by
something for a "rainy day."
re teachers were better paid, and other
wise encouraged, many of them would
qualify themselves better for the work,
and more thoroughly prepare themselves,

To all such, I would say that gross ne

I opinion, directors should receive compen

to pay them for their time. There is uo
good reason why other township of

there ever was a time when it was inex

reitations.-4 commenced my visita
tions to the schools soar, after their open
ing, and continued until they closed.
Nearly every school was visited once,
and many a second time, during the ses
sion. A few were not in session when I
visited -in those localities. and could not
be reached afterwards without much in
convenience and lass of time to myself.
In many districts, directors accom
panied me.
The County Insfilhte convened in Oct
tysburg, October 25th, and continued in
session three days. The attendance was
good t lroughont, about seventy-five
teachers answering to their names.
At first the attendance was small, and
the exercises not of a very interesting
character, but as the meeting progressed
it increased in interest and importance,
until at its close, it was pronounced by
all as having beeh one of the most sue
eowful anti profitable meetings •of - the
kind ever held in the county.
State Superintendent Coburn was with
us a portion of the_tlme, and by his pres
ence and aid, contributed greatly to the
interest and success of the meeting. He
delivered a very excellent and able ad
dress on the "Qualifieations, duties and
responsibilities of the teacher."
Piot Linn, of Newville, also delivered
an tit press that was well received, for its
sound, practical 'views and wholesome
advice, to teachers.
During the afternoon of the second Jay's
session, the members of the association
a v4iled themselves of a very kind invita
tion from the faculty of Pennsylvania col
lege, to visit the halls, libraries and_
grounds of their institution; and in the
evening, by invitation, they repaired to
the College chapel, whore they were
treated to a very interesting and instruc
tive lecture on the principles of Physical
Science, as connected with the occupa
tions and phenomena of every-day life,
by Prof. Mayer, of Pennsylvania college.
The lecture was illustrated chroutthout,
by means of new and costly philosophical
apparatus.
Conclasion.—The war being over, it is
to ho hoped our schools will speedily be
come more prosperous than even before
the war, To effect this, let us all exert
ourselves to the utmost. Much has been
done, and much remains to be done. I
would here return my sincere thanks to
all, for the kindness and courtesy extend
ed to me on all occasions.
