THE HUNTINGDON d-LOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. THE GLOBE. Huntingdon, Wednesday, August 13, 1856 Alltationat pepartmat BY ALBERT OWEN. Fourth proposition : Our common school system is deficient, without greater advanta ges for the jaienile portion of the scholars the support of summer schools will do, much to' supply the defect ; and by it the winter sessions will be more beneficial. - In general, our common schools in the coun try open about the first of November and con tinue four months. -In some districts they open a little earlier and continue longer than the time stated ; but my remarks will apply to them as well as to the former. During the first month of the session there is a poor attendance, for the autumn is at hand—the small children have not got their shoes and winter clothing : - their parents have been busy of late and this one thing has been for gotten. Many of the larger scholars, are yet needed at home to prepare for the in-setting winter. Thus passes the first month, and no organization at the school. December—win ter comes and so do the scholars : large and small, civil and rude, learned and unlearned ; and the little school-house with its poor n * ac commodations is filled to ore • jug. 'Thep the teacher has a glorio _ ortunity to show his ability to teach. If he possessed the fire of a Randolph, the ability of a Watts, and the devotion . of a Wesley, he would doubtless be able to accomplish much es-en in these circumstances. But we do not often find these qualities combined in the same in dividual, and it nalist be apparent that a teach er's efforts during such brief and confused., sessions are nearly unavailing. During the lon g vacations the young scholar forgets nearly all, and he is drilled through the same tedious course, one session after an other. Ile realizes no progress, and a dis like to books and to school is a very natural consequence. If in the rural districts, different schools ' would unite and support a summer school for the benefit of the juveniles, a few mouths in str uction would be more beneficial than years of schooling, such as many now receive.— These juveniles if provided for in the sum mer, could leave the winter sessions to the advanced scholars and they could have the full benefit of the teacher's time. Under this regulation the inconvenience of distance from school, would to a great extent, be over come. Competent female teachers can be employed for the summer schools, and com petent teachers should be employed for the winter schools. There is an economy, as well as other aduantages in this regulation. Some are ready to inform me that the slim mer schools have been tried, and with little success. But you have not given them a fair trial, for you have failed to employ compe tent teachers ; or sheer 4fieglect by the pat rons, has caused the failure. There is a gen eral prejudice—ancient as the hills, against female teachers ; and this prejudice has often defeated their success. A want of qualifica tions 1.4 the general cause of failure ; for a mere keeper of the children w4O will teach for the least money is often employed ; under the erroneous belief that anybody can teach the small scholars. A better faculty is re quired to develope the young intellect, than to teach the mind. matured ;—a greater effort is required to teach the alphabet, than the geographical divisions of the earth ; and the combinations of elementary sounds and char acters arc more difficult than the operations in Algebra and land surveying. Teach the young scholars proper habits at the begin ning, afford them ample opportunity, and let them realize an actual progress, and you will revolutionize our system of education. SKETCH OF ADDRESS BY BISHOP POTTER, To the Students of the Lancaster County Kor . mai School, June 4, 185&. ' To me it is a great and unexpected pleas ure to have the opportunity of „tanding be fore you. Passing hastily toe western part of the State, I have diverged from my course to give myself this opportunity; and I am surprised and gratified to find here such a group of minds. Your building itself is a noble monument to the generosity and enter prige of the people of this vicinity, and it is the advent of a great and auspicious era for the educational interests of Pennsylvania. LancaSter County has long beer famed for her husbandry. Linked with this her name has gone far and wide. Now let it go forth joine with the nobler fame of the husbandry of the mind,—that •culture which is not for the material and perishing present, but for the immortal and for- eternity. Some of the greatest of the Roman poets .had agriculture for their theme; nor can it be denied that, as an avocation, it is calcula ted to develope some of the noblest finalities of our race. Now let this great county show what she can do for the soul as well as the soil ; let her educate her youth that they may be worthy possessors of these broad acres, and faithful stewards of Him who holds all earth ly good in his hand. I m am thyself an old teacher; much of the early part of my_life was spent as one, and I look back upon those days as by no mean s the least useful, as certainly they were the happiest, of my life. NO vocation is more conducive to self-im- Provement than that of teaching. The best Mray to learn is to teach ; for the very neces sity which exists for imparting information ttfion a subject to others, is the strongest - in centive to the gaining of a close and compre hensive kdowledge of it ourselves. Always try to be learning something ; try each day to do better than you did the preceding. .It, has been truly said that as man is the only animal that makes mistakes, so he is the only one capable of correcting-them; and it is this very fact which keeps each power of the mind in active operation, and brings the most ex ailed happiness as the reward of our labor. — The ideal of the Teacher, what shall it be ? Oh ! my friends, we need not ask, when we have before us the example of the great Teacher; greatest in practice, theory, idea and person; all perfect; spotless; loving little children with warmest love, presenting them on all occasions as types of innocence and purity ; patient, gentle, and slow to an ger. Such was the god-sent Teacher. Oh! when the, days are dark and your cares are heavy, remember him and his example. You will have many—very many—trials in your teaching ; dullness and - perversity in your pupils; lack of cc-operation on the part of parents - ; mid oftentimes a general inap preciation of your labors. But do not let these. things discourage you ; perhaps you were once dull yourself • and remember too you are dealing with a iminan being, whose God has given him more or less intellect, as seemed good in his sight, and shall you dare judge of the wisdom. of His works? . 11.1 v first pupil was a colored man, thirty years of age : he was placed under my instruction af ter I left Colleff a e, by a gentleman who wish ed him eduCated for the ministry, to be the bearer of the words of life to those of his own race. Like all persons who reach that age without Mental cultivation or discipline, he was slow of comprehension ; and I remember now, with deep compunctions of conscience, my 01\71 impatience and irritability at his slow progress, as he sat hour afterhour, pa tient, uncomplaining, confiding, long-suffer ing, with the beams of knowledge slowly pen etrating the dark clouds of ignorance that en veloped his soul. At last ho had his reward ; his childlike faith, his trustful spirit conquered, and oh! the mighty transformation they wrought; and_ no thanks to me, for I might perhaps have lightened his heavy burden far more than did. Yes, he had his reward even in this life. I saw him stand in the sacred desk, I. heard the words of eloquence which thrill ed the" inmost hearts of his people. - I saw him high in their respect and affection • I saw him wield a powerful and benign influence ; and finally I saw him sink to his last sleep, in the odor of sanctity, and amid the tears and g rief of a devoted congregation. Oli7! my friends, let this be an example to you ; never despair ; draw largely on your perseverance,—on your Christian charity,— and press onward. Were I to live my life over again, knowing what I now know, I would spend more time daily in preparation for labor. This is very necessary and is in many cases, I fear, sadly neglected ; for pupils go to school not so much to learn a science itself, as to learn how to learn it. Therefore inn all cases when it is practicable, it is far better to cast aside the book and depend upon yourself and your pu pils, foi• a just apprecia . tion of the sullject.— You are thus layng for them a noble basis of self-education: There is one evil of our age, which I hope you will -set your face against, and that is pressing upon pupils such a multiplicity of studies, as not to allow sufficient time to at tain a creditable degree of proficiency in any of them. The long list of sciences and the time requisite for acquiring them, seen on school circulars, are evidences of the extent to which this evil has spread. But it is a fraud upon pupils, a fraud upon parents, and a fraud upon the sciences themselves. - Away with this race for fame—this strug gle for superiority. Teach your pupils those things which will lead to good results; and then teach them content. What you wish your pupils to be, be your selves.l,4'xample is more powerful than pre cept ; and besides, any deception on your part will sootier or later be detected, for chil dren are intuitively discerning ;—and the un faithful teacher whose crime can be greater than his ? May our school houses, then, be sanctuaries of virtue. May they be salutary cheeks upon the wickedness and vice which seem to exist, to such an alarming extent. Go to our legis lative halls, and even there see the fraud, the poltroonry, the cringing for office, the dis graceful brawls of almost daily occurrence.— From the schools of our land must come forth a better, purer, and a nobler race. My friends, what is the ultimate object of your praiseworthy endeavors? Looking upon life merely in connection with the fleeting present, it seems frail and perishing ; but viewing it as a great problem of which eter nity holds the solution, and Ohl how great does it become. No human power can ever in ensure its importance. And now, my friends, then you go forth on your noble and Ciod - - approved mission, may - this truth be, above all others, impressed upon your hearts. 'Then will success crown your labors here below, and the great hereaftcp bring your final re ward.—Peun'a School Journal. Zsclut WORTU Tin Ix piece of alum about the size of a common marble, pulverised and mixed with a wine glass full of• brandy, is said to be a sure cure for ague. Sonz fLirs.—Cold cream for sore lips, is made by mixing two ounces of oil of almonds, one ounce of spermaceti, one drachm of white wax, and inciting them together, adding rose Water to perfume them.
