EDUCATION*
I Wc publish the communication which follows, at
the request of ll A Teacher,” but at (he same lime
| vyo must be permitted to remark that It is not Exact
ly coi reel in'-all Us statements. 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
