Tho following address was delivered at tho recent session of the Clearfield County Teachers' Institute, by Dr. A. T. Schryver, one ol tho oldest edu cators in tho county Ladiks and Ufnti.emfn: By re quest of our worthy Superintendent, J. A. Gregory, 1 appear before you, nt this lime, to give a brief history of tho schools oi Cleiii lii'lil county during the lust half century. As 1 am not a cen tenarian, 1 cannot, in this Centennial year, o buck ono hundred years. Fifty years ago I t amo to this coun ty with the intention of making teach ing my profession. Tho county was new and sparsely settled. Tho school bouses, "like angel's visits, few and litr between." Only lour school houses wcro in tho county that were built for that purpose, and they wore poor log cabins with but little light and poor tcacliors. One was located in Cur wensville, ono on the Grampian Hills, one near llloomingtnn, and ono near Amos Heed s. Children bad to go two or three miles to school. Jlooks were few. Webster's spellers, tho Testa ment, Pilgrims Progress, History ol Witshini'ton or lleiiiumin franklin, quill pens, and lools-cup paper, consti tuted the pnpila outfit; and H ho ad vancod to the rule of throe, ar tractions tn arithmetic, he was counted a very good scholar; grammar, geography, history, algebra, astronomy, or muxie. Were hardly thought of. Theteachei had tn make and mend quill pens for ull writers and set tbem copies, and Uonrd around with the scholars. A description of one house will do for tho majority during tho first tun years, vus: A log cabin sixteen by twenty, seven feet in tbo ceilinir, daub ed with mud inside and out; a mud and slick chimney on the north end ; four liirht window of ciirht bv ten glass on tbo east, a six or nine light window on thu south, mid a loi lilt out on tho west with ono pane of glass along and sometimes an oiled paper to admit light; holes bored in the lugs and pins drovu in on w hich to uuil a long hoard lor a writing table; and slabs with legs in for scuts. Such were the ''.Seminaries' ot learning where many ot our present wealthy and good itnceiis received their primary educa tion. Almost any sti porauuuted ci ipiilo who waa fit lor nolhinif else provided hu could make a pen, write a lair hand. read tolerably well, cypher to tho rule f three, and ted what 4'i lbs. of beef would amount to at 3 and i cents ner pound was ifood enough tor a master. On Christ mas and Xow Yeur's day the ooys would get up nn article about like this: ".Master, wo want a treat: two pounds candy, two pounds rasins. inreu uozon ginger-caaes, two quarts whisky, and two bushels of abides. 1 'lease siun your namo." If the mas ter signed it, it was all right; if not, it was a free fight or bo barred out un til after Now Year's day was past. Sometimes tbo teachers liked the fun und whisky, und would make tho schol ars drunk with black strap, or sweet ened whisky, not forgetting tn appro priate a full share to himself In those days spelling was the hobby of pupils, and I mast give credit to the young men and ladies of that time for boing as good, if not better, spellers than the majority of pupils of tlio present day, and would rank number ono in any school for spelling. It was a common practice in winter for the young pen jilo of Curwensvillu, Cleurfield, Bloom niton, and Clearfield llridgo, to meet oneo in two weeks at Amos Reed's school houso and havo a good jolly time spelling and singing. The dic tionary was used for a speller. Teach- ing was not then a profession anil, of i couree. touchers woru vorv deficient i many brunches. A the population anu wcuiin oi the county increased there was a tall for belter houses and better teachers. Fifty yenra ngo there was no school houso in this plueo, (Old Town) which consisted of about eight dwelling houses, and only six or eight dwellings in uurwonsvnie. I hero was then onlv ono church building in tho county, near Thus. McClure's, two miles abovo Ciirwcnsvillo, which timo has oblitera ted ; and two stores, two or ihreo ho tels, tbreo or four flour-mills, and sec ern! saw-mills. Tho Catholic church iu Clearfield was built about filly years ago; tho brick building, called the Academy, about forty -eight yeurs ago and about tbo eamu timo the first court-house was finished, Hubert Col lins was the architect. Tbo first school I tanirht in this plueo, wus in tbo jury riHim of tbo court houso. IV o bad long seats with out Lacks, and a tublelo writeon. The second term was in a small loir cabin on the west side of the river, opposite tho stone prison, and when the Acade my was finished I tauuht one term of tbreo months in hat, and several terms in Curwensville and on tho Grampian Hills, I introduced Into thu schools, tn addition to such books as wore used, Murray's English reader and introduc tion, Murra 'a and Kirkhum's gram mars, Smith's geography, and Hose's arithmetic. Many ol the prominent ciliEuns of Clearfield, Curwcnsvillo and tlio Grampian Hills, received their first lessons in arithmetic, grammar nun geography under my supervision. I now come down to 1851, tho lime me present school system was adopted and county Superintendents elected Thero waa quito a difference ot opinion among school directors in regard to me salary and duties ol the Buiier in teiidents. Sumo were opposed to the office at all, and thought the pay came in tax directly from the people ; others, that had considerable taxable property and no children to send, made an elTort to put the salary so low that no one ,1 ..t .n. nuuiu accept mo omcepuiling It as low aa fitly dollars. They finally agreed upon two Dunurwi miliars; and now eoines the work to be done for thai small sum, 1200.

Dis trict Institutes were established . In many places, to meet on alternate Sat urdays for self or mutuul improvement, and were kept up with good results during the winter term In three years, 1 examined and re examined two hundred and fifty appli cants ; trave two hundred and thirty provisional certificates and twenty-one irvrinaiiunt ones ; summon two, and re jected loh. M r. Still.lhu second County hllKirilitenJent, waa elected with the undernlaildinir that be wus lo hold a Cou.,iy Institute, or Normal School, of! eight weeks, Tor thu Duiient or teachers. An invitation to teachers and others was givun in due timo, and tbey met in Curwensvillu. With the aid ul Pro fesser Ailen, the achmil robtioued two weeks. When Mr. Allen loft the eda- cational spark waa exlinot, Tha wt oud year waa more successful eaght weeks of subool, and thirty threw in attendance. J. Broomall, tbt third REPUBLICAN. County Superintendent, urged the ne cessity and utility of Normal Schools; but the teachers, it sooms, did not re spond to tho cull, although there were some live and progressive ones, while others seemed to study bow much money thoy could got" for the least amount ot knowledge given to tho pu pils. Mr. Still's salary was ii00 ; Mr. llroomall's, about ftiMO. In many places the teachers all re ceived the sumo salary, without regard to qualifications ; but that timo has gone by, and at the present time tliey are paid according to tho grade of com tl cato and ability to teach and govern, without regard to sex, which is all right. Thosecalled second-class teach ers a few years ago could not obtain a school now without keeping pace with tho progressive teachers. The pupils nt to-day, who nro li nnd 14 years nf uge, have as much nr more book knowl edge, than many of tho teacliers had ten years ago. In my first visits through the county, not over ton pupils had gone through any Arithmetic. In 1H")7, tho increased number who had gone through Hose's, Davie's, orGrecn leaf's Arithmetic was eighty, and the increased number in (irummar and tieoginphy over ono hundred mony of them very good. SI omul Arithme tic was not, introduced as a text book lor soverul years alter. Mr. Sandtbrd was tho fourth County Superintendent ; sulary $800, alter w arils increased to 11,000. Ho held no Normal School, uud lelt without making a reinirl lor his last year. Mr. George W. Snyder was tbo filth County Su perintendent. His salary for the first term was 11,000, and second term 81,200 per annum, which is an evidence j ihut bis services were appreciated, and " the luburer worthy ol hu hire. lie held live Institutes under tho law and ono previous, and nineteen months of Normal School. Tho average attend anee of actual teachers was filly-six, exclusive of other pupils, which would mukc an avurugo of about ninety pu pils. Tbo present incumbent, j. A.

Ignorance tends to slavery and degredution. Educate the masses, and tbe iicoplo will bo free. In IHS0, there wore 51(6,713 schools nnd 13,327 teachers in Pennsylvania. 1 wo thousand ol those wero rcKitod unqualified to leaeu, and were cm- ployed for want of better. Clearfield county at that time was supplied with about one-third of its teacliers from other counties. 1 have visited soveral graded school in Michigan and Iowa, whero they had fine huildinifa and room to accommodatefrotn six to eight hundred pupils ; I havo been present at public examinations, and t think lbs teachers and schools ot Clearfield county will compare woll with any of tliunt. A teacher from ibis county Use il. (J, vt eld teaching in the Newton High School, of Jasper county, Iowa, whero thero wero six hundred pupils and cloven teachers, was com plimented as being one of the best ! si liohint und teacher of ihe institu- i lion ; and 1 eeo no reason why our j schools should not bo supplied with nrst-viRM teacher, educated at homo. Mr. Gregory' salary for the first term wus 1 1,200 a year ; for tbo second leriii, on account of tho money panic, it was, like many others, reduced to 31,000. Uu has held a Normal School in Curwensvillo, twclvo weeks of each year, for tho benefit ol teachers end ot hem, having from ninety to ono hun dred pupils, and upwards, in attend ance.

And such boys grow up through all tho fancies and lollies, tho dreams and disappointment of other boys. Tbey play and rest and love and wander and kiss and quarrel just as do the ragged urchins who veg etato in tbe by-ways and alleys, uml there is as much ol human nature In thoin as can be found in any of tho less promising paths of our thorny journey. They may cscupo tho moth er's spank and tho father a birch to a degree that is not common among the loss lavorod who drudgo for bread from infancy, but they will bo boys af ter all, and tbo bending ot the twig a little more or less tells its story in tbo full stature of munhood. Mr. Bennett loved and Wooed jusi aa do other men wbo realize that it is not good to bo alono in I i tu. nnd being a conspicuous character tbo owner of the moot valuable newspaper property iu the country ; tho winner of various yacht races; the hem of the lust walk ing match, and a princely good fellow in bis own way h could not escaiie journalistic criticism even in his walks ami tulkg by moonlight alone, ile loved Miss May, a highly accomplish ed and most estimable lady, und there wus nothing to slurtle tbo world of fashion or of business in the fuel that Mis May loved him and consented to bo his wife. How the engagement got out to tho public is not worth ask ing ihout. Tbe liobomian is every where in tho parlors where love songs are sung; in tho kitchen whero the household gossip is retailed ; In the streets whero the gallunt displays his arts, and in tlio romantic moon mel lowed grovo w hero plighted vows nro whispered, nnd mutual love has no hiding placo for those who are tho en vied of the earlb. It was tho misfor tuno of Mr. Bennett and Miss May to bo distinguished above the commonal ty, and they had to pay its severe pen alty. Their betrotbul crept out into the public journals, and thenceforth the Bohemian has never wanted for a story with which to embellish his con tributions. Tbo timo, place and man ner of tbe wedding have pointed scores of letters and telegrams, and tbe bridal robes havo been described a dozen times by copious drafts upon the boundless imaginations of correspon dents. But M r. Bennett and Miss May aru only mortals, and they arc not free from the iiifiriuitiesof the race. While they love and engage like other peo ple, they havo angiy passions much after tbe ondownients of man and wo mankind in general, and there is no law, statutory, fundamental or moral, that prevents them from loving and quarreling, joining and parting, halo ing and forgiving, just as other folk do from day to day without tlio world taking note of it at all. They chose to be betrothed and then they chose to be unbetrolhed, and thero the matter wmild have ended under ordinary c'n cuinslnucc even with them. A few sparkling paragraphs would have told the wholo story, and the affair would be forgotton in the noxt romanco that society shall oiler to gratily tlio appe tite for social small chut. Hut tbey do not seem to havo dissevered them selves in the usual way. Instead of agreeing to go each according to hi or bur inclinations, iho heart bruises were exhibited in select circles of sym pathizing friends by ono or both of tho disenthralled pair, and insatiate scan dal came to feed upon tho thoughtless drippings of fretted pride. Dame Hu mor peered into the clubs to catch (ho disjointed offerings of tho cups and mould them into tho playings lor tbe enrions. Then came a stalwart brother to aggravate the sister's wounds that be doubtless meant to heal, and an tin romantic street encounter, wilb the unpoutical rawhide to give rest to tbo story, made wooing and whaling the thomo for every reporter to flash throughout the land, and for every drawing-room and cnnl-holo circle to discuss the names ot lienncttand .May. Foolish courtships are pardonable since so many aro nothing else, and foolish lovo quarrels do woll for poetry where tho kiss ol forgiveness gives lustro to song; but they jumble, harshly with the crack of tho raw hide and the pru rient bent of tho renorter's nen : and the indignant brother would have provca ins worthiness oi a oeiovruj sis ter, bad ho not. mado wiping and whaling household words lo make memnrv usurn the oIhco whore forget lulnosH should have been enthroned.

As a return fur hi service to tho par ty and lo tho President, Gen. Taylor, with small know ledge ot men, deter mined lo make Preston Attorney Gen eral.

I should say the happiest man ia i be whuean link tbo end ol bis lite with its commencement. There aro many who know their own wisdom, but there are few wbo know their own folly. Thero must be something wrong about a condition which Involves one in fresh trouble every day. If wo had no fault ourselvoi, wt should not have so much pleasure io discovering the faults of others.

People aro never made to ridicu lous by the qualities they possess as by those which thoy affect lo have. Philosophy triumphs easily over past evils, and evils to come; but pres ent evils triumph over philosophy. Dn.tli Is the only monastery; the tomb is the only cell, and the grave thai adjoins the convent is tbe bitterest mark of its futility. Truth is a torch, but is of enor mous site ; so that wo try lo slink pant it in rather a blinking fashion for fear it should burn ut. Hate is an active, and onvy a pas, ivo displeasure ; it need not surprise us, therefore, to see how quickly envy passes into bate. Industry is noble : It is mnnsrr-h of a wbolo kingdom in itself, and be thul is King shall never know want, or sutler from disease that emanates from idleness. It often occurs in life, that in the course of a few mi miles some thought is conceived, or somo deed commuted, which tinges the wbolo remainder of an existence. Man is of so obstinately contradic tory a nature thut be will not allow himself to be forced to his own advan Mite yet mitfer constraint of all kind which tend to his harm. Shakespeare says we ate creatures that look belore and alter. Tbe more surprising that wo do not look around a little, and see what is passing under our very eye. A particular want of good sense in ninny sensible people consists in their not knowing bow to interpret what another Rays when be has not suid il exactly as bo ought. " Dear me ! how fluidly ho takl" said Mrs. Partington recently at a lomcraiice ineetinir ; " 1 am always re joiced when he mount tho nostril, for Ins eloquence warms every cartridge in my body." Faith is a domestic and private capital, as thero are Savings Batiks und lielief Funds, out of wbicb indi viduals receive assistance in limes of scarcity ; but here the believer himself silently draws bis interest. " You see," said I'ncle Job, " my wife is a curious woman. She scrimped and saved, and almost starved all ot us, to gel tbe parlor furnished nice ; and ofitopenfora month. She is a cur'ous woman." " Didn't you tell me, sir, that you could bold tho plow 7 " said a farmer '.o a green Irishman, whom he had taken on trial. "Arrahl" said Pat, "How can I hold it, wid two horses drawing it away from mo? But give il to mo in the barn, and bejabers I'll hould it wid any boy I " It is very easy to pick hole in oilier people's work, but it is far mora profitable to do better yourself. Is there a fool in all the world that can not criticise ? Thoso who can them selves do good service are but at ono lo a thousand compared with those who cun sec luulls in the laborof other. I cannot call riches better than tho baggage of virtue ; the Koman word is butler impedimtnta.

Il would not be worth while to live if w wero to tile entirely. Thnt which alleviate labor and sanctities toil is to bave before us the vision ot a heller world through the darkness of this life.
