EDUCATION. AND TILE SCIENCE AND
AnT OF TEACIIING.-No. I.—The subject stated
in this general form, may promise too much.
It is not our purpose to enter into the d scan
sion of it in all its bearings; nor to argue aly
new theory of education. We wish rather to
speak of its Aims anti Results, and then add iu
each number a few reflections on the Science
and Art of teaching.
THE SILENCE OF THE COUNTY PRESS.
E location has been, and is, a question ol
surpassing importance. The field of inquiry
is adke extensive and difficult. Study and
nu ierration, howaver protracted and se:ltching.
h .ce not, as ye - , exit lusted it, nor even satisfi
ed its thirsting explorers. Nevertheless, most
of our county papers seem silent on the sub
ject. Whence this silence, if not from a lack
of interst in the c.tuse ? We find nearly every
other enterprise treated of, but this seems to
be overlooked. Never have the secular pa
pers abounded in harsher or more violent ap
peals to the unworthiest part of cur nature on
almost every other subject. Why we have
even of late been invited to vote for meu w now,
if nalf their eaexiies tell is truth are... op
posed to our common r , chool system now oper
ating so successfully. Justice would years
ago have left such candidates suspended to
the neare-t tree. Every man who present,
himself for office owes it to the public to be
outspoken upon this subject. His contin..ed
silence upon this point will very naturally,
and not unjustly. be construed as at lea t
strong ground for the suspicion that in respect
to our system of public education ho is an
enemy. Falsehood, treachery, abuse, wrath,
and even bribery, in one form or other, were
seldom cheaper than just now. Against these
evils of a presidential campaign our people
need to present the strongest possible barrier,
or the political spirit will have infused into
our public Schools its fatal poison, as it was
want to do in New York, and make us the
victim of an evil that we could well have re
sisted.
During the campaign we noticed with a
feud deal of interest the speech of Mr.Kernan,
at Tammany Hall. Of course he trim nated
the national administration, and plead lustily
for "reform," but failed to designate, the spe
cific reforms needed. But the most remark
able thing about the address is its entire si
lence respecting the school question when the
people were clamoring for his position on
said question, and his purposed policy if elect
ed. As a candidate for the highest executive
office of the State, his opinions on that subject
area matter of prime interest to the people of
the State, and it is simply a matter of tuty to
the people of the State that he should explicit
ly define his position. We hold that when
countries are absorbed in political interests
they should not forget the educational inter
sett. Bnt, however discouraging the prospect,
at Airticular times, and in certain localities,
the result is neither doubtful nor uncertain.
Though positive hostility may show itself
against the modes and means employed, the
desirableness and value of the end attained,
cannot be que4tioned. The educator will ever
be held in high esteem, and his work receive,
as it deserves, the unqualified approval and
commendation of his own and succeeding gen
erations.
EDUCATION AND INNTIVICTION.
A misconception upon the general subject
of education, as to its true idea and intent,
confronts us at the very threshold of our dis
cussion, and is of sufficient magnitude to de
mand a brief consideration. By many there
is no proper distinction observed or allowed
between Education and Instruction. Accord
ing to their views, to be educated means simp
ly to be made a reservoir for the fuels and fig
ores of the sciences, and for the dates and
deeds of history. The man, therefore, of the
most tenacious memory, holding, like an en
cyclopaedia, or a concordance, or a dictionary,
the moat elaborate definitions and scientific
statements, the moat intricate forinuias and
results of study, is necessarily the man of the
most finished education. From this view we
are compelled to dissent. Let it once be un
derstood that instruction is only a means,
whilst education is the end—that to know is
one thing, to he educated qaite another ; that
the one is oft the merest superficiality whilst
the other is always thorough and profound,
and there will be less impatience on the part
of students and patrons, and much lees im
position and pretension, (and if we may use a
rough but expressive word,) there will be
much less hitrobeggery among professional
teachers. Education is not so much a pouring
into the student, as it is a drawing forth ;
it is training more than teaching. Its chief aim
and intent are to reveal and develop and ex
ere se the power of thought, to call forth and
stimulate ani direct the unused, latent capac
ity of the mind, to instruct en 1 guide and
discipline the will, and to arouse, cultivate,
nourish, nurse, and mature the moral' sensibil
ities. It is not so much to cram the mind with
iatellectu II food, as it is to exercise its error
gies upon the great questions of study and
knewledge, and by its own strivings and cf
forts to develop its utmost cap.icities and work
out its own coucln iioll3. -We cannot, there
fore, witbold our most earnest protest against
the implied assumption, that the true aim and
best results of this ancient and noble science,
are merely to communicate knowledge, how
ever valuable and necessary this may be, and
that lie has attained the best education who
may boast the possession of the largest veriety
aid heaviest burden of remembered facts. In
a word, :it is not memory, but mind, with
waich -education is mainly concerned. To
know, to recite, to repeat, to state what others
have done, is comparatively easy and of as
:little value, whist to think, to reason, to bring
forth the results of reflection and study, de
mand a sterner applicatioc, and, by strength
ening the whole mental economy, bestow a
vastly richer reward
If one should undertake to explain to any
ordinary child of four years of age the views
which governed Canning iu some great act of
diplomacy, or all the hearings of the positions
assumed by the different contracting powers
at Lae peace of Tilsit, the difficulty would not
be so much in the explanation, or in the thing
itself, as in the immature powers, the want of
instruction, tile feeble grasp of comprehen
sion of the boy that he should seek thus to
instruct. A few years may do wonders for
that boy. By reflection and study he may
possibly grasp these principles more cl early
than even Canning could, or might per haps
conduct a negotiation for peace with more
talent than either of the great powers of Rus
sia, France, or Prussia.
NATURAL ORDER OF STUDY,
The subjects embraced in the programme
of studie- should always follow each other in
natural and logical order. The primary, or
elementary subjects, should invariably be
presented first, and the elements of each ac
quired and thoroughly understood by the
pupil, before the teac her can judiciously pro
ceed to inculcate the biz her truths. Spelling
and reading; definitions of things, first ideas
of numbers, with simple exercises in mental
arithmetic, writing, dictation, geography his
tory, composition, grammar, correspondence,
social science, natural pliiio4ophy, etc., should
be introduced and taught iu accordance with
these principles; the lessons, in each instance,
being suited to the mental capacity of the
pupils. Natural and logical order should be
a motto with every teacher and student; oth
erwise success, if possible, will, at all events,
ba doubtful. It has been well said that order
and regularity “diminish labor, and propor
tionately increase the profits of business."
Pupils desirous of acquiring any branch of
knowledge, no matter what branch it be,
should be led to regard it, not only in an ab
stract, but also in an applicate sense, and
vice versa. In the acquisition, for instance, of
geometry, arithmetic, geography, natural
science, or any othel , branch of knowledge;
:hey should sissy the subject, and regard books
relating thereto as mere tools or means'for
that purpose. Many pupils /with the concur
rence or connivance of their teachers) study
the author more than they study the subject,
implicitly adopting his views without exer
cising the least thought or reflection ; forget
ful of the fact that the human mind should
never he a mere pa,sire recipient. It should
be the great and constant aim of the teacher
to incite reflection, and make mind an active
agent! Mind, in a passive state (if it can ac
quire useful knowledge as all), is little - better
tan a sponge absorbing water; whereas en
tetive, reflective, reason ing mind, grows in
cnowledge and power ns it grows in age, and
day by day approaches nearer to its divine
origin—the ever active Creator himself, of
whom it is the noblest emanation.
I think it proper that I should close this ar
ticle with some recognition of our new Conn
ty Superintendent, IVNeil. He is a native of
tills county, having his home at Httlibl.s
vine ; is about twenty five years of age; com
menced teaching school when but sixteen and
its taught seven terms in all. Goaded by a
noble ambit , . to become learned lie worked
at manual labor during the summer months
that lie might earn enough to send him to
sell of during the winter; and for the educe,
;ion thus obtained he has no one to thank but
his own unwearied industry. The first high
school he attended was a "County Normal" at
Bedford, conducted by J. W. Dickerson, Esq.,
then County Superintendent of Bedford coun
ty, and Harry W. Fisher, the present Super
intendent ;as aisistant principal. The next
summer he attended Miluwood Academy, at
Shade Gap. The following summer lie enter
sd the State Normal School at Millersville,
where, with the exception of two winters that
nr ,aught, he remained till he graanated in
July, 1570, with the degree of B. E. (Bachelor
in the Elements). He then occupied the po
sition of Principal of the Upper Pittston
graded schools,
Pittston, Luzerne county, Pa.,
during two school years. On application of
the Board of Controllers under whom be
taught to the Examining Committee and Facul
ty at Millersville, in Juiy last uas conferred
the second degree in the practice of teach
intr.
His personal appearance is youthful, has
black hair, a fair complexion, expressive fea
tures and graceful form ; is pleasing iu his
thinners, and his conversation is replete with
wit and go id sense, and would be regarded as
a favorite in any social circle of intelligeuce
and refinennut. It is said of him, that he
never been known to speak ill of any of his
brother teachers, or in fact any cue, but is
every ready to extend sympathy and aid to
his poorer colleagues who are struggling up
ward. From early youth, has been an ardent
lover of books and a persevering student, par
titularly in those branches which are needful
for the more perfect development of our
manhood. Uniting intense love of knowledge
with unusual intellectual powers and a good
physical constitution, cradled and nurtured
in respectable poverty,he was early cotkiell
ed to toil for his own livelihood. This he did
as a school teacher which gave specialty to
his tastes,
fixity to his aims, and eminent qual
ifications for his office as Superintendent of
Common Schools. A christian gentleman,
possessing a wide range of experience as a
teacher, of ai.mitted honesty and integrity,
and known well throughout the county, will
doubtless make an able and safe Superinten
dent. He will discharge his duties honestly
and efficiently, and control the school affairs
of the county with dignity to himself and
credit to his fellow citizens. Above all, he
lie has never injared his system or weakened
his intellect by the use of rum, and will bring
to the discharge of his duties the clear head and
steady purposes of the aeetotaleer. He will we
trust so elevate the standard of the qualifica
tion of teachers to such a grade as that those
who are incompetent can no longer obtain
certificates, that boards of directors may be
protected against incompetent and insufficient
teachers, an will m'ost impartially exercise
the functions of his office in advancing only
those who reach the requisite standard.

COURT AFFAIRS.—FIRST WEEK .—
OYER AND :mum;za.—Susan Dunlap, accused
of the murder of Elizabeth Dunlap, by poison,
at Mapleton, some six months ago, was ar
raigned, and plead ' , not guilty" to the in
',iietment, when the District Attorney inform
ed the Court that he had no evidence to sus
tain the charge and asked leave to enter a
nolle prosequi, which was granted and the
prisoner discharged from custody.
This offense, it will be remembered, was
laid sometime in May last, and the accused
was committed to prison in default of bail.
The case was continued from the last, term in
order to afford the Commonwealth an oppor
tunity of making an analysis of the stomach
of the deceased, under an order of the court,
which, it seems, was found to be impractica
ble, and the stomache and intestincs having
been removed or abstracted, during this in
terval from the place where they had been
buried.
Elisha P. M'Conahy was arraigned on the
charge of robbery. The facts '-licited on the
trial wore about as follows: A certain William
Long, a resident of Hill Valley, in Shirley town
ship, accompanied by the defendant, and one
Moses Hardy, hailing from the same locality,
visited this town some time in August last,
and remained here over - night, Long having
at the time in his possession some $2OO in
greenbacks. While bete it seems the parties
imbibed rather freely of "corn juice," and
some time during the night, Long, having be
come oblivious to all outward scenes, "laid
down to pleasant dreams" in the bridge Over
the Juniata, one of his companions
.in trial
occupying a position on each side of him, and
on awakening to consciousness in the morning
discovered that, although ho had lain down
under the fancied protection of Muses and
Elisha, he was nevertheless in the position of
the worthy who, on a certain occasion went
on a joarn3y from Jerastlem down is Jorizho,
his wallet having been abstracted and rifled
of its contents. The nefendant, on being ar
rested, at his hearing before the Justice, ac
knowledged that lie had taken out the pocket
book some time during the night, and given
it to Hardy, who had taken some of the con
tents out and handed defendant $25, and he
was accordingly on this admission, eonCleted
of larceny.
QUART/NC SESSIONS.—WiIIiam Ripper, charg
ed with fornication and bastardy, continued
from last session, plead guilty and submitted.
Usual order.
Moses Hardy, indicted for larceny, plead
guilty and .sub,mitted.
John Jackson and Michael Flasher, Super
visors of Jackson township, were indicted for
refusing to open and neglecting to .epair a
public road. Ihe defendants alleged that they
had reasonably and welt performed their du
ties, having found the road in bad order, and
having gone on to repair it by dilligent effort.
Quite a large number of the citizens of the
township, and others, were called to show the
condition of the road and the efforts made by
the supervisors to get work done on it. Ver
dict for plaintiff.
Commonwealth TS. 11. S. Wharton.
This was an indictment for libel founded on
the alleged publishing and circulating, some
time in August last, a certain paper defama
tory to the character of Prof. A. L. Guss. The
prosecutor; Mr. Cuss, is the Principal of the
Soldiers' Orphan School at Cas.:ville, a posi
tion which be has occupied for the last seven
years, and Mr. Wharton is a citizen of this
town. The parties are both well known to
most of our citizens, and at the time referred
to were both candidates for the nomination
for Congress by the Republican party of this
county. The paper placed in circulation by
Mr. Wharton consisted principally of an ap
plication presented to the School Board of
this borough by Rachel Popo for the with
drawal of her daughter, then a pupil of the
Cassville school, with a copy of the statement,
made and sworn to by liar, that her reasons
for the same consisted in an alleged insult
offered to an older sister and former pupil of
the Institution, by Prof. Guns, during a recent
visit to the school. Mr. Cuss, it seems, on
hearing of the accusation, demanded an imme
diate investigation, and a meetingof the Board
of Directors was called for this purpose, but
the parties to the complaint not making their
appearance, the case was dismissed by the
Board, and suit was instituted against the de
fendant for publishing and circulating a copy
of the paper, the plaintiff alleging that it was
done maliciously, and for the purpose of de
feating him in the coming political con - et:llion,
thereby furthering the interest of the defend
ant.
JASON
The defence consisted principally in the
allegation that the publication and circulation
of the paper, even if. the charge were ascer
tained to be untrue, was justifiable, under the
existing laws, as a matter of public interest.
Louisa Pope. the principal witness for the
defence, testified, in regard to the truthfulness
of the charge, that on the 15th of May last,
when on visit to the School, of which she
had famerly been a pupil, she was induced
by Prof. Goss fo go into his private office and
while there was grossly insulted by him ; that
on leaving the office she immediately cornmu
nicatcd the fact to Mrs. McManama, the lady
in charge of the sick department, and to her
mother on her arrival home. Her testimony
was partially corroborated by her mother,
Mrs. Rachel l'opc, and one or two others, in
regard to the circumstances of tier leaving
home and returning, while ou the other hand,
it was entirely contradicted by Mrs. MeMana
ma, fur the Commonwealth, who testified that
no such information was communicated to
her at the time4nd also by Mr. hindlaub, the
gentleman in zharp,e of the farm .d garden,
who testified to being in the office at the time
fixed by the witness, .d remaining there till
alter she had gone out. In addition to this
quite n large number of witnesses, principally
teachers, employees and former pupils of the
school, were examined and testified that her
reputation for truthfulness, while a pupil at
the school, was very bad. She was also con
tradictcd by some three or four witnesses in
regard to the circumstances attending her
visit to Cassville and return to Huntingdon.
A number of witnesses, consisting principally
of citizens of this place, were also pruduced
by the defence for the purpose of proving the
reliability of her character for truth.
The trial occupied two days and involved
the examination of some 45 witnesses. It
elicited quite au amount of interest, and the
court room during the greater part of the trial
was thronged with spectators, a large number
of whom were personal and political friends of
the parties.
The Court, after summing up the evidence,
reminded the jury of their duty in reconciling,
if possible, the conflicting evidence in making
up a verdict ; that while malicious and defam
story libellers should be punished, yet that
no verdict•of a jury should brand as a libeller
one who publishes a truth proper for publics•
Con ; that if they had a reasonable doubt or
the guilt of the defendant, that doubt should
operate to his acquittal ; that it was not nee
essary to show beyond a reasonable doubt
that What is charged is true, the prosecutor
not being on trial for the offence, and the ver
diet of the jury not being conclusive as to the
charge of his guilt, but only settling the ques
Lion as to the malice of the defendant in pub
lish ng it.
The jury retired to their room on Thursday
evening, and after remaining; out till 11 o'clock
on Friday forenoon, returned with a verdict of
not guilty and an equal distribution of the
costs between the prosecutor and the defend
ant.
The case of the prosecut. , r was conducted
by Messrs. Speer, Woods and Petrchin, and
that of the defendant by Messrs. Scott, Brown
andllimpson, and it 13 scarcely necessary to
say that the argument on both sides was able
and exhaustive.
CIVIL 1,43 T.-Tod Township School District
TS. Abram Chikola.
This was an action to recover $4O, the
amount of subscription try the defendant, for
the purpose of raising money to furnish vol
untaers for the township, in August, 1864.
The township, after having levied the amount
authorized by low for this purpose found itself
unable to raise its quota of n.en required, and,
to order to avoid the utaf•. started a subscrip
tion for the-purpose of raising the additional
amount by voluntary contribution from those
who were subject to the draft, to which the
defendant. subscribed the above amount. •
The defence consisted in the allczed illegal
ity of the proceeding.
A verdict was rendered for the plaintiff, for
the amount with interest, by the jury under
the instructions of the Court. l'etrekin &
Massey for plaintiff,- Speer for defendant.
John P Zimmerman vs. Martin Walker.
This was au action to recover the price of a
reaper and mower, which the plaintiff alleged
to have sold to the defendant, in the nonuser
of 1863, for $l5O, the mazhLe being a sec
ond-handed one, and the plaintiff agreeing to
pay for all necessary repairs.
The defendant alleged that the plaintiff
agreed to sell him the machine at a reduced
price, and to make it work as well as a new
one, what he had failed to do; and further
that afterwards the parties, by mutual agree
ment, rescinded the original contract, and de
fendant owns tuen to buy a new machine, the
plaintiff agreeing to take back the other.
Quito a large number of witnesses were ex
amined, principally for the purpose of showing
the condition and working capacity of the
machine, before and after its possession by
the defendant, as well as in regard to the
alleged contract, and its subsequent rescission
by the parties.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff
fur $125 97, being a deduction of $5O on the
price of the machine, with interest.
Speer for plaittifl. Petrel:ln & Massey for
defendant.
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE OF HUNTINGDON
Conarv.—The next annual meeting of the
Huntingdon County Teachers' Institute will
be held, in the Court House, at Huntingdon,
cornencing Monday Dec. 23, 1872, at 2 o'clock
P. M. and cloying on the following Friday.
It is earnestly hoped that every teacher in
the county will bb'present.
Heretofore many of our teachers have been
compelled to remain away from the Institute,
or make up the time afterward; but by an act
of Legislature, approved March 19, 1872,
school Directors of Huntingdon, and several
other cognacs, are required to aglow teacher;
time and wayes while attending the County
Institute.
%Ve hare a number of live, active, devoted
teachers in our county, willing to make sacri
fices to become more proficient in their pro
tension, who have attended these yearly meet
ings whether time ware granted or not, and
would do so again ; but the fact that Directors
would not allow the time has been the most
general excuse offered for non attendance.
Now, since this obstacle is removed, we
expect that teachers who have any profession
al zeal at all, or any desire to become better
qualified for the responsible duties of their
calling, will allow only extraordinary diffieui
ties to keep them away. T...ohe who stay
away from the Institue, are generally the ones
that most need the instruction, and you who
make no effort to take advantage of the op
portunities of improvement placed within your
reach, will please remember that the School
law provides, that teachers who absent them
selves from the County Institute, withontgood
excuse, may have their want of professional
spirit and zeal indicated by a lower mark on
their certificates, in the practice of to
than they would otherwise have received.
The money appropriated, every year, for the
purposes of procuring Instructors and defray
ing other necessary expenses of the Institute,
is lost to an extent comensuratewith the num
ber of teachers that fail to avail themselves of
the.advantages procured by this expenditure.
Special pains have been taken to make this
Institute a profitable one and we desire to have
it well attended.
Prof. A. N. Ranh, formerly of the Keystone
State Normal School and at present Superin
tendent of the public sehools in Luck Haven,
will he present during the week and assist us.
He is an active, earnest, experienced educator,
and well qualified to impart just such instruc
tion as our teachers need.
Prof-J. W. Shoemaker. who has on former

State Line and Juniata Railroad (trap:my has
given a mortgage to the Philadelphia Trust,
Safe, Deposit and Insurance Company for
Four MilLons of dollars upon which funds are
to be raised by the issuing Cl' bonds for the
construction cf the road, and the mortgage
has been recorded in the several counties
through which the road will pass. We have
been reliably informed that the road will be
built and that the step arebeiog taken to push
the work vigorously. The enterprise is a
matter of considerable interest to thin scmion
of the State, and would develop the wealth of
iron ore, lumber, &e., along • our Southern
border. The line would pass through the
counties of Huntingdon, Fulton, Franklin,
Adams, York, Lancaster, Chester, Deleware,
Montgomery, City of Philadelphia and Bucks
Couuly to connect with another railroad at a
point on the Deleware river, and be Da miles
in length, and have numerous branches. That
part of the line through the Bouthwestern end
of Franklin county and Fulton county, along
Licking creek, is represent, d to be very rich
in valuable iron ore, and there m•ed to be
furnace in successful operation in Warren
township within a few miles of the projected
line of the road. Ore was abundant but trans
portation in the dais when it was in opration
was very expensive, it being a long d,stance
from market, and iron manulheturers were not
then proteete I by a judicious tariff as they are
now. If this railroad should be built we know
no inure promising section than this far iron
manufacture, and speculators will doubtless be
looking it up and securing it. This railroad
is doubtless in the control of the Pennsylva
nia railroad company and would connect with
that rood in Huntingdon county and reach it
again at Philadelphia.—Repository. •
