'Mutational. It is not to be expected that irt the ordinary length of htmian life r any person can, from his own oblervatictia and experience, become perfect in any art or science. Indeed, to• reach any considerable d egree . of proficiency / in any art or calling, a person must make use of the experience of others who have acted before him, as they have left it on record for Ins instruction and benefit. If ii is true' ofnny e mployment that no , one can reach perfec.ion,. most assuredly it isse with respect to that of school teaching; and any information. upon 0 important a sub;ect should be gladly re ceived and carefully examined by all those who think of embarking upon this profession. It is indeed deplomb:e that so many are al lowed to teach our schools who have so few of the necessary, and often essential Analifica tions requisite in a good teacher; and that those who engage in teaching should take so little pains to inform and fit themselves for their business. In view of this, I would recommend to the attention of school teachers, school patrons, and school officers, the " The ory and Practice of Teaching: by David D. Page, A. M." It is by an experienced per ton, and as the result of careful observation and actual experience in teaching. The style is familiar and attractive, and its reasoning pointed and clear. Below are some extracts from the work: "Toe Misses OF STODY.—It is of quite as much importance hose we study, as what we we study. Indeed, I have thought that much of the iii.ference among men could be traced to their different Itab.ta of study formed in youth. A large portion of our scholars study for thesake of preparing to recite the lesson. They seem to have no idea of any object beyond recitation. The consequence is,,they study mechanically. They endeavor to re member phriseology, instead of principles; they s:udy the book, not the subject. Let any one en:er our schools and see 'the scholars engaged in preparing their lessons. Scarcely one will be seen who is not repeating over and over again the words of the text, as if there was a saving charm in repetition. Observe the same scho.ars at recitation, and it is a struggle of the memory to r..cull the forms of words. The vacant countenance, too, often indicates that they are words without me•tning. This d,fficulty is very ranch increased. if the teacher is confined to the text-book during the recitation; and particularly. if he relies mainly upon the printed questions so - often found at the bottom of the page. The scholar should be encouraged to study the subject; and h:s book should be held merely as an instru ment.- • Books are but helps' is a good motto for any student. A child may almost be said to be educated, who has learned to study aright ; while one any have acquired in .a mechanical way a great amount of knowledge, and yet have no profitable mental discipline. For.this difference in children, as well as in men, the teacher is more responsible than any other person. With ail the attachment which young pu pils will cherish even toward a bad teacher, and with all the confidence they will repose in hint, who c in describe the mischief which he can acconyi,di in one short term The school is no place fora min without principle ; I repeat. THE SCHOOL IS NO PL•CE FOR • MAN 1111rIOCT PR/NCIPLE. "If there can be one sin greater than an other, taa which heaven frowns with more awful displeasure; it is that of leading the young, into principles of error, and the de luding practices of vice. " • Oh, wo to those that trample on the mind, That deatWess thing! 'They know not what they do, Nor what they deal with.'" " Pcscruam - ry.—This, as a habit, is essen tial to the teacher. lie should be punctual in every thing. He should always be present at or before the time for school. A teacher who goes late into school once a week, or even once a month, cannot very we!! enforce the punctual attendance of his pupils." lie recommends a knowledge of Human Physiology in order that the teacher may at tend to the health of the scholars. Also of latellec:nal and Moral Philosophy. " Every teacher should know something of book-keeping,, at least by singe en.ry; and a:so be conversant will the ordinary form.; of biraness. The profound ignorance on 'his subject among teachers is truly as.oni=hing. Book-keeping should be a common school studs." The author recommends strongly that a knowledge of the Science of Government be made a requisite. Hie "Pouring-in Process," and "Drawing-out Process," give you, par errs, a good idea of the manner in NN hick your children are ()flea taught. His sections upon " The more Excellent Way," and Waking up Mind," are very instructive. This work may be had at the book stores in our village, and I hope none will neglect to avail themselves of so good au opportunity of acquiring useful instruction. _ Coudersport, Jan. 11, I°s EDUCATIONAL MEETING At an educational meeting held in the school-house in Lewisville on Wednesday ecening, January 3, 1855, 0. A. Lewis was appoin:cd Chairman, and Irwin Baker Sec'y. The object of the meeting having been stated to be an endeavor, in unison with our fellow citizens of all parts of the county, to awaken a new interest in the cause of cam. mod school education; the Rev. Mr. Pradt, our County SUperintendent, was called upon for same suggestions pertinent to the occasion. The Rev. gentleman entertained the audience with an eloquent address, bring;ng home .to the minds of all who heard it, the necessity for an earnest and united effort to raise the standard of improvement in our common schools. Remarks were also made by H. H. Dent, C. W. Ellis, Irwin Baker, and 0. A. Lewis. After hear;ng the opinions of the several speakers, the following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted 7:. Resolved, That we are willing ani anxious to join our efforts with the citizens of all parts of the.r.onnty to promote the objects bad in view ; and we earnestly recommend that meet ings similar to this be held in every- school district in the county, if practicable, to aid in Preparing the public mind for suitable action. Resulted, That minmes of this meeting be sent to each of our county papers for public.. tion. Adjourned to meet again at this place, Wednesday evening the 10th inst. 0. A.

I - find' inserted in the London Agrici ltural / Gazette--a work of- undoubted excel lence, by the way—that-two horses, in. every respect equal, were allowed each five pi - nil:ids of oats, -daily, and "hay enoagh"—amounting in all to seventeen pounds of feed per diem. For one of the horses, - the grain was crushed., for the other nut._ One hun dred parts of the. excrements, (solid) of each horse were examined chemic ally., on the fourth day after. the exper iments were commented. The excre ment from the horse fed on crushed oats contained no traces of nutritive matter, but merely woody fibre, mixed with secretions . and salts. In that produced by the other animal, one quarter per cent of nutritive matter; consisting of starch and 'gluten, was found;arising, indubitably, from the constitutional inability of the animal to the perfect mastication of the grain; an evil that must necessarily vary in the magnitude of its results, with age and rapidity of feedings No differ ence was found in the excrement of animals fed on chopped and unchopped hay, though the facility of eating the . former, and the con s equently greater period of rest obtained, was a 'decided advantage.—Germa 72 tO am Telegraph. ANTHONY Buass.,--The Boston Tele graph. has positive information that Burns has been sold by Suttle to a N'ortk.Carolina negro-trader fur $7OO, and that a condition of the sale was that be should not be sold to go North. Suttle, it will.-be remembered, bad• been_ offered, both in Boston and Vir ginia, 81,400 for Burns, and bad re fused, though he had previously pro-. mised to accept that sum. We very much doubt if such a fellow as this Suttle would sacrifice $7OO from mere love of revenge ; that difference, per haps, bas been made up to him by other parties on the ground that it was a point of Southern honor that Burns should never be redeemed from bond age So Burns,whose rendition Mayor Smith secured, was probably sent off to the South-west, to be worked upon a sugar plantation, about the same time that Boston reelected Smith for Mayor.—A. S. Standard. WHAT AN INTELLIGENT SOUTHERNER TIIINKS.-A letter received in this city from a leading lawyer and one of the largest'slaveholders in Ken tucky, has the following signficant postscript: " Where is the Northern spirit? Is Kansas to be a slave State? • Can it be that the North will tamely sub mit? That a single man should be returned from the North, who favors the Nebraska iniquity; is to me inex plicable." While an intelligent slaveholder en tertains sentiments like these, we hope allorthern newspaper may beallowed to repeat them without being invidi ously charged with ...Abolition' by ouch an utrbaked newspaper as the New York Express.—Boston Atlas. QUADRUPLE PUN.—One of the best puns (or, as Mrs. Partington would say double indentures) on record, is made of the two Latin words to dotes (thou teachest,) inscribed in chalk upon the lid of an M.
