To-say that'“ pro* lection to education in PcnnsjdVaniaVantl.especially in Cumberland.county, is not bken dreamed' of,” is absurd,- 1 No doubt our system of Common Schools contains many errors, bul at IKb bame time all will admit that the system itself U a good one, and hai worked wbnders, and more than realized the hopes ofils most sanguine friends. Cumberland county is ahead of most other counties In her efforts to promote education, arid her schools, with a very few excep. lions, are Jn.a .highlyprosperous- condition.. That most of pur country teabhoors receive tCo small, a salary we admit, but this the people themselves have it ip their power to correct. Employ none but com* patent teachers, and pay them a liberal compensation, and the people will find themselves to tie the gainers. With these remarks we insert the article following: , For ibt American Volunteer, jtfr. Editor —While Congress has been Invoked to gats Laws to *• protect” home industry—while our late Legislature lias been petitioned to protect me* clianical business—while we have bar slandiilg ar mies to protect our soil—protection to Education In Pennsylvania especially in. Cumberland county, is pot npw even dreamed of. Strange It tr, (hat this important subject has become almost wholly neglect* ed. Laws Were passed establishing CpidiHoii Schools in this Slate { bdt are as deficient ahd lintneoidingi as though earth fidd Been hunted b‘erio procure the greatest blockheads to conceive the project. I need only refer to the. enactment which provides that a tax shall bo levied for school purposes twice -the amount of the pro rata of Stale When the effect, of this absurd law is exposed, We shall see what ’kind of a story we*ll have to tell. The country schools are supported only from four to six months in theyear; generally but four,and the teacher paid from $l5 lo $l7 per month and board 'himself. The same.law gives the people of-each borough, township, sms., the privilege to decide by ballot whether, in order lo keep the schools open a longer time each year, an “ additional lax” shall be laid but (he school Directors give no notice of such election to bo, held in (he month of May, nor has isuch an election ever been held in the adjacent (ownahips, since the Common Schools were first in* (reduced. The Directors .can either give notice or not do if,just as they think proper; and, inasmuch, as they are generally all farmers and tho owners of farms, believe it to be Inexpedient to vote for a mea sure, or allow others to decide in its favor, which will tax them with an additional amount—they are all interested os far as dollars and cents are concern ed! The Directors are not punished for neglect of duty—no penalty whatever is* inSicUd by law. If they refuse to. attend to (heir duly, although tho Court would appoint others, yet ho one seems dls posed to bring the case before tho Court, hence nolht mg is done, and men £0 on in this respool, regardless of law, justice, or their duty. . The Legislature should so amend the school JawJ Instead of regulating the school tax by the State appropriation, (6 niake It obligatory Upon tile Direc tors to levy Sufficient tai lo support the . country schoolsul leftal 9 months in the year, and should repeal that part of tho law that relates lo holding elections, giving tho people an opportunity to decide for oroguinst-an additional tax. Hon. Jesse Miller, Slate Superintendent of Common Schools, in his re* port to the Legislature last winter, recommended that the School Directors should be compelled by law lo levy a tax to keep: the schools open at least 6 months in (he year. Even this recommendation, , if hearkened 10, would have been better than having bol four months, but wo .find our sublime law makers pass by the subject unnoticed—nothing waft done! We whofte profession it is to instruct the country schools, must lamely ahd designedly submit to our fate, by Having employment not niore than half of the year, more commonly but one third of the year, and be paid 100 a wood choppers wages—eleven dol lars per month, allowing Six dollars per month for boarding. This Is (he kind of •• protection*’ toe re* ceive by law! A (atmer-who sends from four to five children to school for four irionllU; pays on art avo roge, about four dollars of school tax. At (he usual mto of.instruction, «9 per quarter, would Cost him $10; he pays but $6 al most. In shape of. fox ; here is a clear gain of $4 made off (be teachers! Others pay 12J cents tax, and send to school to the amount of as many dollars, every session. A beautiful sys tem truly! Well may the school directors complain of a fearful want of good teachers, well may (he peo pie weep and wail and gnash. their teeth; at finding their school ' houses closed for want of competent teachers—well may their children grow up inigno ranee, whito they are imposed on by a horde of ig noramuses, in the garb of teachers, who are employ, ed, rather than have an empty house altogether I No less than 5000 Common School teachers in this Slate ore thus imposed on for want of legal proteo. (ion. Soon, very soon, unless some wise, speedy and effectual remedy is applied, will we go back to where wo stood 50 years ago in the point of education January, 1849 For the American Volunteer.
