with globes, reading und writing tab

believed, entertain liberal views in

compel directors to act nnd act elll

modesty demands it.
Jome hilucation ln a number of
districts tho directors contemplate
erecting a central high school, for the
advantage ol the more advanced stu

tion nnd will, at once, commend itself
to tho public. 'J'ho expenses of four

Elementary Instruction Underrated.
It is considered, by too many, tluil
teachers without tho requisito qualifi
cations, and with littlo or no experi
ence, aro good enough to impart
instruction in a primary school. This
is a sad mistake, and tho evil effects of
such a courso uie perceptible in after
mo, wiiun it is observed thut book
advancement has been made without

CONCLUSION.
I can, with pleasure, inform the De

New Ideas and their Enemies.
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

iTr-it. sr.rl.!lr Invites tb. attention of
aterchnnfs wishing te porches. .1 ubolessls, as
number of qualified" teachers and liieir
success in the "Art of Teaching" is
gradually increasing, as near as I can
estimate, compared with tho previous
year. 1 can slate this not only from
my own observations, but from opin
ions expressed by directors and citi
zens in various districts. 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.

uniformity in bonk. The one adopt

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. Wo hnvo one !n Clear
field, which is In chargo of Rev. 1. L.
Harrison, A. M., and so fur as wo
have learned is doing a good work.
It i not, however, wo think, so liber
ally patronized throughout the county
as an institution of this kind should be.
The Yew. Tho county press is on
tho right side, mid tho editors have
tendered tho use of their olumna for
any article favoring tho ratiso. They
havo and will, in this way, render
material aid, for which they have the
thanks of the teachers in tho county.
Parental Yitits. A considerable
increase, in fomo localities, in the
nnmher of visits to tho schools by p
rents. Heretofore, thev cither have

perversity of the elements, and, in the
spiritunl realm, the ignoranco and
blindness ot men.
From ignorance and blindness sprang
resistance to tne trutn, and tuo perse
cution of Its advocates. Tiiobcncfb
cicnt Creator wa resisted in Eden,
and Sutnn, and after the Full of Adam
the worshipper Abel was murdered at
tho altar by Lain his brother.
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. More
over, it wa easier to niako a grand
flourish about battles (uuirtit at re-

although completed, bus Dot yet

In fine, stupidity and sclfisb inter
est aro just as blind or as malevolent
in our time, as ever, and it is only the
lacit oi power mat prevents them from
sustaining their opposition to progress
with tbo chain, the dungeon, and lbs
stuko.
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. This
felichism for old tlmiL'S is worthy of
all rcspoct, and even admirable, when
it has lo do with tbo tmmntablo con
cerns of the soul and the heart; but,
when it is brought to bear upon tho
everyday affairs of life, it ia unbecom
ing to an age of boasted light
Without presuming to stand even
within tho portico of the temple
where the august names of tbe grvftt,
originators, discoverers, and inventor
are inscribed, we, too, have dared to
attack some of tlio idols of human
prejudice, and we have had our share, -ol
wondering incredulity to meet.
Rut our couise is onward and up
ward, for we have not failed to read
in tho history of the past that "Gotl

all, with those who labor for the great
est good ol the greatest number !"
