whirliTifyou deem — ivorthi, you may
give to the public
. ,
I attended the _Convention. with_a
strong desire tobe made wise,,and,
I.
- assure you, the object was, to a sreat
extent, accomplished. Gatherings .of
this kind can but be productive.ef
much good to all who are teachers, in
the true sense- of the term . . Still,
there was not quite- as much practical
illustration as I hoped for. Theories
and theology may do. very well;
~but
for one, I had rather have one hour's
exercises reduced to -practice, than a'
whole day's. theorizing. Why could
we not, as suggested there, have had
classes formed, and taught? I am
sure there were those present quite.
competent for the task. Would it ndt
be a -capital plan Or us to have, a
" Teachers' School,": or -" Teachers'
Institute," of from one to two weeks'
duration, that we may hdve time to get'
somewhat to
,practice the different
methods of teaching, and thus be en-_
abled to select -the best . ? lam cer
tain that every "live teacher;" who.
desires "to magnify his office," would:
gladly avail him or herself of such an
opportunity for improvement. I may
be too sanguine, but I do believe that
such a "chill" would be, largely at
tended by the teachers of the county,
and I am equally sure that great good
would .result therefrom.
And now, Messrs. Editors, to be
candid, tbo , .a was one feature in our
,past Convention which I did not like.
I believe there is an old rule some
where, which says, that before we can
he taught, we must feel our ignorance. The.Ci.ncinnati Enuirer complains,
This is true; but it hardly needed as with some show. .of justice, that its

This letter will strike a sympathetic
chord in the bosom of eery true Vir

shoemakers at public auction in Vir

conduct of a Northern State which pro
poses to elect a man of that disgraceful
character to the Senate. The same
feeling exists, it. seems, among the
"solid' men of Boston," though it
doubtful whether the writer of the

not stumble over a lapstone if he at
tempted to trace his pedigree beyond
