OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.
Report of the Superintendent of Clearfield
county, lor (lie year ending tb. th day
of June, IH71.
Tbe) peoplo are slowly but surely
awakening to tbe great importance of
the common school system. They
freely adroit its claims and cheerfully
contribute to its support.
New House. During the school
year just ended eleven building were
erected, as follows: One in Bell, one
in Brady, one in Burnsido, one in
Covington, ono in Curwensvillo, one
in Ferguson, one in Karthaui, two in
Lawrence, one in Morna, and one in
Woodward. They are all large and
commodious frnmo structuros,well sup
plied with goon furniture and ample
black-board surface. Those of Law
rence and Curwcnsvilla are furnished
with McFurlund'b patent desks, which
liove rondcred enure alifuction.
New Diatrictt.To Indopondonl
Districts have been formed. One out
of Pike, called Bridgeport, and the
other out of Lawrence, called West
Clearfield. The Directors are all
energotio and intelligent men, hence
ill dischargo their dunes laithlully.
New Legislation. An Act to con
solidate the common school properly
Willi that or the Academy ol Ucnrhold
borough, erect large and commodi
ous buildings, ana thorouirbly grade
the schools, was passed .lunt winter.
After due reflection, we are convinced
this is a step in the riirht direction.
Wo trust, therefore, fur the good of
all concerned, that such an arrange
ment will be made; tbst the consoli
dation, upon trial, will prove satisfac
tory to all and mark a new ora in the
educational history of Clearfield bor
ough. Out buildings. A number of houses
have boon, during tbo yoar, provided
with the necessary out buildings; but
much the largest number are not yet
supplied. Will not jji rectors see to
this important matter 1
Teachers. We nave our lull pro
portion of poorly qualified teachers.
Four failed entirely, while others
merely "kept school." They have
not deteriorated, but some bavo iuiled
to koep pace with the educational
improvement. It is absolutely necos
sary that a portion, at least, become
butter qualinod,- cither by private
study or by attending some good
school, 6r quit the proteion. Tho
time has arrived when all teachers
should be able to discriminate between
keeping school and touching it; be
tween Laro words and learning ideas:
botweon getting losson to recite and
ono to undorstnnu ; between commit
ting rules and toaching principles.
We uave some toacliors that are an
ornament to tho profession, who go
outsido and boyound the mere text
book, and have the children thorough
ly understand what they pretend to
learn.
Graded Schools. In some of the
rural diatricts the Direotors are agi
tating the subject of gradation, and
we hope soon to be able to demon
atrale practically its superior advan
tages, w. groatiy need a mora car,
ful classification in many localities
than we now have, and tbo best way
to accomplish this is to establish, in
some central position, acooaoible from
all points of the district or districts a
school of a higher grade, to which tho
most advanced pupils may be admit
ted. Such schools could be established
at Luthersburg, Burnsido. Lumber
City, New Washington, and Glen
Hope with littto or oo opposition ;
and soon other localities would toilow
tho van of improvement. The Ir.crcas
ed facilities which such schools would
afford for complote and thorough
publio Instruction, would bo a step
ping stone to a noblor and higher edu
cation. School Examinations or Jlev'ieits
have not been so gonerally introduced
as was oxp?nttd. . A beginning, how
ever, was made, and we hope the
Directors will require evory teacher
in tho county, the coming year, to
hold ono, at the end of each month.
The chief aim now seems to be to got
over as much ground as possiblo, ro-
gardlcss or tboroughneaa or accuracy.
Many scholars are unable to answer
questions even in the elomentary
branchos, wnien clearly proves thoy
have a very superficial and imporfocl
knowledgo of tho studies passed over.
There is no other agency that will
promote more llioroughnnas and ao
ouracy In recitation and oxeito a
greater emulation among scholars,
than frequent publio reviews or exami
nations. They should not be gotten
up for tha occasion, but tb toachor
should, in all oasos, allow the Direo
tors or a spectator to conduct them.
If being ablo to toll a thing and to
ifive a reason is a true evidonoe of
oducation. then t think It must be
oonueded that the theory of publio re
Views is productive of vCTy important
and substantial benefit.

PRINCIPLES
CLEARFIELD, PA , WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9,
oducalional interests of the county.
Mav tliev never harm ma wamriaii in
well doing, but continue on ia this
good and noble work. I feel Justified,
howevor, in enumerating a few mis
takes. 1st. Paying the unqualified the
same aa tbo qualified . teacbor. Buou
a oourso is paying a premium oo igno
rance. It prevents tho livo teacher
lrom raising and tomoves tbe neces
sity of the illiterate to make furtbor
advancement. 2d. The employment
sometimes oi inferior teachers, because
they are roietivcs or friends. How
ever much this msy bs praclioed
throughout tbo country, at the presont
day, in other avooations, Directors
should never introduoe it into our
common schools; and he who does,
acts from a base motive, and should
receive the censure of all good moo.
It is your duties, as tbe guardians of
the children in your district, to em
ploy the very best disciplined minds
to mould and instruct the rising
generation, whether rolalivo, friond or
foe. :. i ,
Course of Study. It affords me
much ploasure to state that tho Di
rectors of a number of districts bave
at last consented to adopt a course of
study, to be used only as an out-line,
for the teacher's guidance, Muob
valuable time has already been wasted
by allowing children to study each
branches only as tbuir immature minds
dictated. In many cases children have
rofusod to study more than a single
branch, lor several successive lorms,
hence all the other fundamental
branches were negleclod. Directors
are, to a greater or less degree, re
sponsible for the intellectual growth
of tbe children in their respective
communities j thorcforo, this impor
tant subjoct should receive their spe
cial attention. No profession or call
ing can be successfully carried on
without a correct method.
More Haste than Progress. There
is an excessive desire on the part of
some pupils, parents, and even some
teachers, lor the filth reader, in somo
cases scholars, who should bo in the
third, or at the highest in the fourth,
wore using tho fifth ; and wlion we
suggostcd that they should bo put
into tha third or fourth they were all,
sometimes, highly offended. Why
not be displeased, also, with the mas
ter carpenter or stonomason because
they will not put tboir apprentices
upon the nicest and neatest work until
they have acquired skill in tbo use of
tools f Ihe same dimculty pertains
to other studies, especially arithmetic
geography. 1 can see no practi
cal sense or use for scholars to take
tho fifth reador before they havo mas
tered the third or to be holpod through
urithmotio and geography without a
knowledge of the first principles.
The timo hasarrivod when the educa
tion of children should be judged not
by the number of books passed over, or
by what they cannot tell, as is now the
case but bt what Titer can till.
District Superintendent. When
ever and wherever Directors havo ap
pointed a practical teachor, or one
who has had a groat deal ot exponence
in visiting schools, it is always at
tended witb beneficial results, more
is as much philosophy, howovcr, In
teachers instructing our merchants
how and the kind of goods to purchaso,
our silversmiths how to repair watches,
our dentists how to extract natural
or insert artificial tooth, our farmers
how to till tha soil, Ac, as tbore is In
that class of men to instruct teachers
how to tcaoh, unless they are tbem
solves practical teachers of tho mod
orn school. A Director's visit, in
most cascs, cannot be of any more
practical benefit to a school than a
visit from any other citizen. It soems
to mo, thorcforo, that the time is at
hand whon wo should have a mure
thorough district supervision. Thiscan
be accomplished by the Directors ap
pointing a thoroughly educated teach
er as district superintendent, whose
duty it shall be to visit tho schools
once a month or oftonor, assist in clas
sification,eourse of study, bost methods
of promoting the progress of the
schools, &o. A County Superinten
dent cannot, in this county, travel
over one thousand one hundred and
ninety square miles, and visit more
than onoe, (it is scarcely possible for
him to do even this much, do voting
the proper time to each,) one hundred
and sixty-one schools in four months.
ramiflifioR(. Twenty-si publio
and twelve privste examinations were
held. Une protessionsi and one nun
drod and fifty two provisional certifi
cates were iris n led, and twelve en
domed from othor counties. Seventy
Directors and a large number of citi
cens were present. They seomod to
be In tores tod not only In the present
success of our schools, but also In the
future welfare of the rising generation
In some districts tho Directors lot the
schools immediately after the exam!
nation was over. This was a good
nlan. It elves tho Directors and
Superintendent an opportunity (0 con
sult with osch othor boforo making
choice of teachers, as ho Isfsmlliarwith
tlio peculiar wants of each sub-district
as well as tho special qualificat'ons of
each applicant, and can onon give
valuable suggestions. Ho should not
dictate nor yet for a moment should
he hesitate todocido when caned upon
Vwi'lflfion. This important duty
was commenced tho last woe It. in Uelo
bor, and continued until the first weok
in Maroh, Visited one hundred and
fifty-three - schools on an avorogo
spending nearly three hours in each,
Met, in all the different schools, oiirb
ty-six Directors and ona hundred and
twenty six natrons. JJoccarla and
Woodward districts did not receive
thoirduo proportion of my time, ow
ing partly to not having the schools
open at tha proper time, and partly to
sicstnesa in my istniiy.
Noanal Institute. Taught eleven

as soon as the Lock Haven State Nor
mal School is in operation. The Su
perinlendent will then bo ablo to pay
more spooial attention to the schools,
and the various educational Interests
throughout tho county, during the
summer season.
County Institute. Oat County Insti
tute convened at Clearfield in Octo
ber, and. continued 6J days. It was
well atlendod and all seemed to mani
fest an interest. Tbe regular instruc
tors were Profs. I. 8. Geist, J. Hart,
J. V. Montgomery and A. D. Rowo,
who dolivored lectures and gave in
struction in the various brandies. A
number of lectures and essays were
bad from teachors of the connty.
Hoe. J. B. McKnally and Rev. J. IT.
McCorJ each delivered an able and
eloquent address before the Institute.
This was enoourairinir. When divines
and lawyers, whoBtand at the head of
thoir professions, support the com
mon cause of oducation, there can bo
no doubt of its ultimato success and
beneficial influence upon socioty in
general.
Improvements. Statu appropriation
increased to ono million of dollars.
The minimum school term increased
to six months. A graded or high
school established in every district, at
which all the advanced scholars of the
township oould attend. The appoint
ment of first-class teacbocs as district
superintendents.
The School Journal. Thin periodi
cal has been so improved in matter
and assortment of contents that it is
now the best In the country. Kvery
teacher and Director should subscribe
for it.
My thanks are due to the public,
Directors, teachers and children, for
their mutual sympathy and eo opera
tion. After summing up tbe entire
work of tbe year we bave much to
encourage us. Msy the coming yosr
be still more prosperous than the one
which has just closed.

Tn Scukci of LoAFfNO. The
Oolden Age, in an article on tho Ethics
of Loafing, says well i The one thing
that our ablost men are unable to do
is to loaf. The very air of this age
is charged with the oxygen of restloss
enterprise, and it aots upon men's
souls as a new and a more furious
alcohol. Tbe high placea of tbe land
contain men guilty of gross intemper
ance in work, regularly drunk with
eagerness to toil, sots on the firery
liquor of a tyrannous and uninter
muting industry. It may be a ques
tion whether the best nssursnce of a
long life is not a foeblo constitution.
Tho men of iron frames, of muscles
wrought of the heart of oak, oftjiurit
enorgy and endurance, are tbe verv
men who presume upon the extent of
thoir physical capital, and soonest be
come bankrupt in vitality. The ethics
of loafing need to be expounded ; and
the sin of inordinate industry to bo
denounced. No man has a batter
right to kill himself by over-working
than he has to do it by over drinking.
If suicide be a crime, be Who dies by
putting too great a task upon Ins
strength is as truly a criminal as he
who dies by putting a bullet through
his head. If a certain amount of rest
and recreation is necessary to a man's
health and life, the omission to take
it is as great an ofTunce against God's
law in naturo, as would be the omis
sion to take food ; and death by wil
ful starvation is no more an act of
self-destruction than is death by wil
ful fatigue.

The Cincinnati Commercial, a Radi
cal journal, gives tho following aensi
ble advice in reference to tho next
platform of tho Republican party I
" Tbe main thing is to affirm appro
bation of the last and the next war:
to praise tbo President for paying oft
th. national aio ootoi his own pock
et ; to approve of Long Branch as a
temporary seat of government; de
nounce the ku klux, Jeff Davis and
Hob Tombs; sympathize with tbe be
loved Bncz, of San Domingo, and also
with tha much esteemed Babcock:
condole with Billy M'Garrahan, and
insist upon keeping his claim alive, as
it represents a large bonded indebted
ness; and congratulate the Covington
postmaster upon the ability with
which be has administered the affairs
of the goneral government in that por
tion of hia department known as
Ohio. This will be sufficient, without
any botheration about tariff laws,
amnesty for rebels, or othor immate
rial matters.. Perhaps a few words
about tho onlighteneu policy pursued
toward the noble rod man, and an ex
pression of content with the humilia
tion of the British lion, would not be
absolutely wasted ; but further than
that it would bo imprudent to go."
Mintal AcTtviTT. If the wator
runneth, it holdeth clear, sweet and
frosh ; but stsgnalion turncth it into
a noisome puddle. If tho air be fan
nod by the winds, it ia pure and
wholesome ; but from boing shut up it
gvowolh thick and putrid. If metals
be employed, they abide smooth and
splendid ; but lay them up, and they
soon contract dust. If the earth is
labored with culture, it yieldoth corn ;
but, lying ncgleolod, it will be over
grown with bushes and thistles, and
the better the soil is tbe ranker weeds
it will produce. All nature is uphold
in its being, ordor, and shape by con
stant agitation ; overy creature ia in
cessantly employed in action com
formable to its designed uso. In like
manner, the preservation and Im
provement of tho faculties depend on
their constant exorcise; to it God has
annexed the best and most dcHirablo
reward success to our undertakings,
wealth, honor, wisdom, virtue, salvo
lion.
A Good Swiomtion. Ths Savan
nah (Ga.) Republican says : "The en
lire Democratic press, north and south,
'doparture' and 'antl-doparturo,' agree
in extolling Hon. Jeremiah Black's
address to the voters of Pennsylvania.
We like it oursolves, and now, to set
tlo all disputes, to bring Mr. Stephens
and Manton Marble, Msjor Thompson
and Dr. Baird, and everybody else,
togethor, we propose that the Domoc
rscy of all the Slotcs sdont Jeremiah
lilack's sddress as thoir platform, and
whon the Democratic national con
vention, when It moots, forego, tho
usual string of resolutions and where
ases, and put tho samo addreas as tho
platform of tho notional Democratic
party. Tins is good auvico, ana we
don't care if they put Joromiab Black
bimoolf upon it as the candidate."
The Cincinnati Inquirer declares
that tho action of the lato Radical
Convention of Ohio is equivalent to
an onen repudiation of uoneral urant,
and yet the aggregate of the salaries
of the Federal office holders, delegates
to ths Convention, are estimated at
about $1,000,000 annually 1 If that
amount would not purchase an en
dorsomcnt of Goneral Grant, his case
must bs dcsporfclo, indcod.

' What u to to Bona?
Yes, What's to bs dono now about
the colored cadet Smith f The gov.
ernment has been teaching the cadets
at West Point all winter to reoognizs
Smith aa an aasociato, and as a se-
3uence, have partially overcome the'
ifflculty which threatened to ensue..
But oh dear, who over thought of
looking through, this dark channel to
soo that no obstacles were in tho way
which might sink the ship of social
equality just as it reached the last har
bor on its voyage. Tbe Secretary of
War bas decided that tho annual bop
shall come off, tho ordor of the aupar-r
inlendcnt to the contrary notwith
standing. All was bustle and gsiety, the cards'
of invitation were printed and gotten
up in the most elaborate style ; and
the young lady friends of the cadets
were in ecstaoiea,when some one threw
a wet sheet over the whole mstter by
intimating that according to the new
dispensation of the government tbo'
young darkey Smith must bs a partic
ipant in that hop. The ladies frowned,
the matrons declared their diaghtera
"shouldn't dance with a Sambo," and
tho fathers looked gravo. What's try
be done ? Every cadet must be pro'
vidod with a partner, and as each and
evory lady who has an invitation has
been vainly appealed to to mate with
Smith, the matter looks serious.
Kvory argument bas been sdvanoed,
but ail to no purposo ; the ladies rofuse
to assoctato with hiui. A bright idea
was at lust suggested that some lady,
colorod lady if necessary, bo invited
who would dance with him. lienriog
of this the ladies all aroso in a body
and declared "if tho negro was ad
mitted in that ball room, other than
as a waitor or servant, they wouldn't
go ono step to that hop."

Somothing must be done. Tbe wo
men's prejudices must be overcome
or we shan't have any negro officers
in the army. Shame on you, ladies,
to refuse to indulgo in an old Virginia
breakdown with a West Point darkey.
This is contrary to the 15th com'

is to bring the ladies before a military

Signs. We don't go much on 'sign'
but the following aro so clearly signs
that we give litem for the benefit of
our reudurs :
When you seo tho sun rising before
you rise in the morning, it is a Sign
that you'd not do for a farmor.
When you soo a man Irving to
convinco a lamp post that it is impo
lite to get in a gentleman's way, it is
a sign that he has been drinking some
tiling lemonade, perhaps.
When you soe a-boy throwing
stones in the streets and spooking im
pudently to old people.it is a sign tbat
his paronts don't cure much for him.
When you see a "fidgotty girl"
throwing kisses and winks at the boys
across the street, it is the sign that
she is too young to bo out of sight of
hor "maternal rcliitivo."
RkaTi This to tour Dacoiitebs.
The character of a community depends
much on tho young women. If the
lattor are cultivated, intelligent, ac
complished, tho young mon foci the
reqnirement that - they themselves,
should be upright, gentlemanly, and
refined; but if their female frionds are
frivolous and silly, the young men
will be found to bo dissipated nnd
worthless. But rcmcmbor alwaya
that a sister is tho best guardian of u
brother's integrity. As a daughter
she is the true light of homo. Th.
pride of tho father oflcncr is centered
in liis sons, but nffeciimi is expended
on his daughter. She should there
fore be the sun and centre of nil.
Bank Blunders. A dispatch fi-orn
Washington, says :
"Tbore are at presont sbont 1,700
Nstional Banks, all of which are di
rected by law to send in reports of
their dividends and earnings semi
annually, nnd, notwithstanding blanks
are furnished on which to make out
thoir statements, fifteen per cent, of
them are gotten up erroneously. In
many instances bank clerks in lead
ing cities bsvo transmitted to the De
partment statements showing that the
net earnings at the disposal of their
bank amounted to s thousand dollars,
whilo their dividends exceed twenty
five thousand dollars. This is only
one example In the many instances of
similar errors."
Best or All. A woman may be
surrounded by all the luxnries which
money can buy, and bave the fawning
friendship of people whose families
only livo In prosperity ; but if she
feels herself unloved and alono in her
heart, tho crown jewel in hor diadem
of hnppinoss is lost, things lose their
value, nnd life becomes insufferably
monotonous.
The honoi.t, tender love of two brave
hearts who havo started out, and are
struggling to gain n horns for their
litllo ones, and money enough to food,
clothe and educate thorn, make life n
thousand times more sltractive nnd
inspiring.
A French woman will love hor hus
band if ho ia cither willy or chival

if ho docs not disturb ber ease and

if he wreaks vengeance on those who
incur bor displeasure ; an Italian wo
man, if he is dreamy and pootical ; a
Danixh woman, if lie thinks that her
native country is the brightest and
happiest on earth ; a Russian woman,
if ho despises all westerners as mise
rable barbarians; an English woman,
if ho succeeds in Igratiuting himself
with Ihe court and aristocracy'; an
American woman, if he has plenty of
money.
