THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAAIILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. 6bucational ptpartment. BY ALBERT OWEN Our second proposition : "A more thorough district supervision is required, to awaken a sufficient interest, to provide for and keep our schools in a line of proper duty." Without proper care and supervision the best farm will become impoverished and scan ty, the most useful mechanical agencies will become powerless or perhaps dangerous ; and so it is with all human institutions. Those of the most public nature are likely to suffer from neglect or mismanagement : and they are the most likely to produce discord and conflict. When we consider the amount of effort that is required to educate the,human family, it is not difficult to perceive, that any system of education whatever, managed with indif ference, would be but a miserable failure to answer the ends for which it was instituted. In the system that we have adopted, the bur den of management lies upon the school di rectors. The duties of providing and. locating school houses, of levying and collecting taxes, of employing teachers and superintending the school, require a good judgment, a great deal of time; and frequently a faithful dis charge of duty meets with censure and hos tility. These circumstances have often caused di rectors to shrink from duty, and this negli gence has often proved disastrouS to the sys tem. If every director would enter upon a faithful discharge of duty and apply a pro per remedy for every defect, the public mind would become educated to it, difficulties would be less complicated, their own ditties would be less burdensome, and the system would be beneficial and. progressive. Directors possess much discretionary power, and a faith ful exercise of it does more to satisfy public opinion than any other circumstance. A neg ligence on their part, leads to indifference on the part of teachers, a loss of confidence by the patrons of schools, and the whole is ren dered worthless. A thorough district supervision, not only exercises control but it creates a lively inter est by the teachers and in the school, and this interest goes home to every fireside : it is then that our system of popular education begins to be consistent, progressive, and glo rious in its results. This is considered of so much importance, and a' neglect in district supervision, has been so fruitful in mischief, that we must recom mend a careful consideration of the Circular to School Directors lately issued from the De partment and published in the July number of the School Journal. Directors of Huntingdon County : Let our system of popular education be resuscitated. As it is the only safe-guard of civil liberty ; let it be the glory of the Commonwealth.— You are its guardians, and you must be re sponsible for its weal or wo. Never since the sun first lighted up the smiles of Eden was there a greater demand for an enlightened intelligence among the people. The efforts . of government in behalf of education arise from an absolute necessity. We have in our midst many a modern civilian, priest and politician who offer up their thousands to the Moloch of party, while.they tramp beneath their feet the proudest child of the Republic. The simplicity of our primitive institutions has passed away into a constant strife for as cendancy. Progress—constant mutation—is an eternal law of things. The circumstances of to-day will be swept away by the fatality of to-morrow. Let me persuade you then to help us carry forward the standard of popular, of universal education. To Directors and Teachers. Moral and Religious Instruction: The opening of the winter schools presents a favorable and proper opportunity for a few suggestions on this subject to Directors and Teachers. Polemic theology and sectarian dogmas have no legitimate place in the Common Schools of the State. The introduction of such elements would shiver the system as if scathed by lightnings, and prostrate its en ergies beyond the hope of redemption. But this certain danger on the one hand, should not lead to the opposite extreme, of educa ting the children of a professedly Christian commonwealth—judicially recognized as such —in the moral darkness of virtual heathen ism or atheism. The fact that sound moral and religious instruction should enter into all our systems of public edueation, remains none the less certain. So long as it is an ad mitted truth that virtue and intelligence are indispensable to the maintenance of a repub lican form of government, and so long as it remains undeniable that virtue has its best, if not its only security in the Christian reli gion, and that multitudes of children are growing up in our country without any pro per home or church instruction in even those elementary principles in morals and religion, that are to fit them for good citizenship, and prevent their becoming a curse and a scourge to community—moral and religious instruc tion, within the limits here indicated, should, as a matter of public welfare, come within the province of the public school. Our schools through the State differ, and it is not unreasonable to expect, will differ, in regard to the use they make of the Bible ; each Board of Directors being clothed by the school law with exclusive and absolute au thority over the subject, and determining the matter for each school district according to their own views of official duty. But that is no reason why, in any of the schools receiv ing the public money, the moral training which is so indispensable .to the welfare of the State, should be neglected. They, in fact, rest in their very groundwork. Though Religion has itsprimary elements, its uni versal truths, which no rational man can ob ject to have inculcated in his children. It has its habits of thought, of feeling, of conscien tious principle, which every body admits ought to regulate the conduct of early life.— No man worthy of the name, who sends his son to the public schools, can object to have his studies turned to such account as will in stil a sense of the eternal presence and prov idence of God, the supremacy of conscience, the feeling of responsibility; the odiousneps of theft, of drunkenness, of lying, of mean ness, tyranny, cruelty, malevolence ; the greatness and the loveliness of truth, gener osity, kindliness, reverence ; his duty to his parents, to his companions, to his fellow creatures generally; his dependence for hap piness, first upon God, and then on his own industry, intelligence, gnod character, resolu tion and fortitude. These are matters that are common to all creeds, they have little to do with the doctrinal parts of religion, they yet awaken the young mind to a sense of the duties and responsibil ities springing from their relations in life, and develope an appreciation of the blessings which flow from the great truths Of Christi anity. They subject the religious affections to a quiet, yet durable training, and awaken a desire for more definite religious instruc tion to be supplied elsewhere, at the proper time, in its own appropriate way. There is nothing in the laws of Pennsylva nia, or in the varied character of, its popula tion, to hinder the competent and conscien tious teacher from implanting broad and per-, manent elements of moral character in the mind and heart of every pupil entrusted to his charge, and that, too, within his own reg ular sphere of effort, and without danger of giiing offence to any. Though. a change in the organization of our present system may not be called for, yet improvement in its working is certainly desi rable. Cultivation of the intellect, to the ex= elusion of moral principle and neglect of the religious sentiment, but demonstrates and confirms the very objection brought by unlet tered ignorance against all education, that it only makes men rogues and sharpers, and fits them to practice frauds and villainies upon an honest, unsuspecting public. In this connection, the Department desires to state, with emphasis, the inexorable neces sity Which exists at • the present time, more than ever, that the character and habits of teachers should harmonize -with the responsi bilities of their vocation, and be fully up to the level of its exacting requirements. Ac tively and passively they exert an immense and enduring influence, for they have to deal with the most impressible period of life. And it is not to be - tolerated, if a remedy can be found, thlat serious and lasting injuries shall be inflicted upon the mind and morals of pu pils in the common schools, through the in competency, or pernicious example of the very teachers who are employed at the public ex pense, to educate them in principles, and train them to habits of usefulness and virtue. 11-lisallantotts. SCANDAL.—The Devil has a wonderful penchant for rebuking sin. Eyes which are full of beams have an unaccountable clear ness of vision in detecting . motes in other eyes. Some people are brought into "the world to accomplish a marvelous mission, and that mission is to ferret out obliquities in others. Of course it is not expected that these apostles have any business with them selves; their mission is violent, and does not admit of time to scrutinize their own position. What profit is it that they should pause to consider their own peccadilloes, when the enormities of their neighbors loom up like mountains? So goes the world over. Everybody minds everybody's business, but everybody neglects his own. What sort of a world would this be if we were without each other to feed upon? Men have eyes and ears fur some purpose, and what else could they find to do, if not to see and hear of each other's failings, derelictions, errors, transgressions and enormities? They have tongues which must lie uselessly idle if not employed in giving currency to such delinquencies. So It is with man. The obliquities of his offended brother furnish the chief staple of conversational interest. Raman error is the current of social intercourse, and too often the coin comes from the mint of the speaker's brain. GOD'S GLORIOUS GIFT—WArEn.---The eter nal father of us all has brewed it for his children.—lt has been produced, not in dis tilleries, but in beautiful fragrant places. It is brewed down in yon grassy dell, where the deer linger and the rippling rills sing their wild lullaby; or away upon the mount ain tops, where the blazing sun has lit it up with heavenly fire; or afar off upon the ocean, where showers and storms are born. It sparkles in the ice gem. It makes the graceful tissue on which the moonlight plays. It dallies in the cataract; weaves the snow wreath and the emerald settings on the mountain peak. It never injures, but always, does good. It is blessed always, at evening and at morning. It is ever beneficient and kind.—God made it glori ous. Take and drink. Take the pure liquid which God, our Father, gave us. Take it as it is—bright, beautiful and. blessed. .23a , "My dear Amelia," said a dandy, fal ling upon his knees before his adorable, "I have long wished for this opportunity, but hardly dare now speak for fear you will re ject me ; but I love you—say will you be mine?

"Never mind the wool shed," exclaimed Amelia's young brother, who had slipped into the room unperceived at this mo ment, "but go on with your courting."
