In the moral, as in tho material world, all great births are preceded by mighty convulsions. From the formation of the Globe itscll, to the cvcolution and development of Con tinents, and of the rnocs that inhabit thotn, tho anology holds good. Tho liiblicul record, in describing the condition of things which preceded the creation of our world, tells ua that "the Earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of tho deep." liul, when "the S)nt of flod moved upon the faro of tho waters," tho dark ness fled ; chso separated into visible nnd tangible forms, and life and light appeared where there had, previously. oeen nougta out contusion, chill and death.

In the begin ning of tho XVIIth century, an Eng lish nobleman, Lord Worcester, on a visit in I'aris, took a letter of Intro-, ditclion to the celebrated llariuu' Dulormc, who could think of nulling better lo umuso her distinguished guest than lo conduct him totiio mad house, which she evidently considered the most curious thine: in tho French capital.

Tins result is liiifhly grutifying. Tho causes of the difference wero: first, that many of tho youngor ond more enterprising teachers epent their winters in leach ing und saved as much as would pay their expense nt some good school during the summer, and olhors made improvement by privulo stud)-; sec ond, public sentiment; and third, I he growing determination of directors to employ nono but competent teachers. In general, teachers deserve much credit for the nrogros made ; yet, llicro is room for improvement. The average wage remain about the same males, t:7, and females, t'iS per moiilh. The salaries in a number of dint lids aro now graded according to qualifications. This is certainly right. So lung as unqualified teat hers receive the same as qualified ones, our schools must necessarily retrograde. What i tlutro to induce young people to spend timo and money in acquiring skill and ability in the art of teaching, if the possossion of these things is no better paid than tho want of them f Modes ef Instruction. A ntonifest improvement is plainly perceptible in tho methods of instruction. The teach er aro beginning to teach more and more synthetically nnd analytically, and are abandoning the old blundering method of teaching arbitrary rules, without explanation or illustration, lo their own satifaction and decidedly to the increased successuf their schools. Asa clans, our teachers aro alive, and fully a" rike to tlio interests of llio children under their charge.

EDUCATIONAL WORK PONE DT OTHER AOENCIKS. IVivale schools are taught in many of the school bouses, during summer, but are adapted more particularly to the wants of beginners. Four or five select schools aro now in RticctWiil operation, but did not open until the beginning of lite new 3'ear, and hence further reference to them, in this report, would be improper. We feel a want for more such schools whose direct object is tho preparation ol teachers. A school established for ladies, In Clearfield borough, by .Miss Hattie ruran, has had an increased attend ance, and is rapidly growing into popular favor. It has materially aided in preparing teachers ; and if properly sustained, a it certainly will bo, with her experience, energy and perseverance will prove a lastini; ben efit, not only to tho patrons, but tho common school system. The Susquehanna Select School, un der tho control of Mr. J. S. Smith, in Hell township, has done noble work, and created an interest never before felt in that section. Academies.

Tho samo lesson has been continued throughout tho history of our raco. Not a step forward hag been made; not an improvement introduced, that has not !oen waylaid and cotuballed by prejudice, or by jealous interests thatclunir to tho old systems, in order to profit by their imperfection. We should know moroof this strug gle between light und darkness as it wa waged, before the Christian Era, wero it not for tho sud fact that the pons of historians und poets have been devoted chiefly to tho glorification of war, and not to the annuls of litoor. "Tho history of warfare," says an en lightened philosopher, "is the history ol nobles wbo disdained any other pursuit; but the history of labor is tho real history of tlio people." Discoverers nnd inventors sprang almost entirely from the ranks of the people, and hence, at tho very outset, they encountered the determined hos tility of tho classes who considered their monopolies of power and wealth menaced bv tho fresh theories or fact set forth. Jesus of Nazareth, preach ing the new doctrinonf salvation, was reviled and crucified like a common folon ) and, startling as I lie consequen ces wero to hi executioners, the spirit that animated them continued to work and still works persecution, to this day. The forms of its action aro mod ified, according to the fashion of tho times, but its stupid ferocity and malignity survive. Gtitleiiburg, the Inventor of our modern system of priuting, was driven from bis native Jfayence by persecu lian, and, when Ftiitst the capitalist nssisled him in putting bis grand idea into form, the littler was denounced as having sold himself to the Evil Ono, who was said to have borno liitu away at lust in a blaze of tiro and brimstone. Tho sad truth is that rausi wound up tiy rohlung poor Gttttetiburg of his apparatus, in order to reimburse his own advances, and left tho uiifoi tunato inventor to dio in destitution. Tho invention of gunpowder was an exceplion, in somo degree, to the proposition we lay down, no doubt becauso it placed augmented power in the hands of the oppressor, und facili tated the work of destruction.

This hostility to inventive progros is Protean, too. It assume any and every shape, disguise, and pretext. Failing to make iu point by claiming privilege or proving folly, if pretends to appeal t i the interests of the toiling masse. Whon Arkwright, the barber, invented bis cotton-spinning machine, tho buwl was raised that it would de prive hosts of the laboring poor of the means of subsislance. ell, at that time, the cotton industry employed 50,000 persons, and produced 5 mil lions of manufacture. A few years later it employed 2,0lH),(KK) hands, and yielded UOU millions of merchan dise. Yet, with sll Uiese examples before ibem, men still assail the motives, as well as tho work, of all wbo would substitute facts for dreams ; reason for prejudice; order lor disorder, in tlio existing condition of affairs.
