' Oil ward' has ever been tlie watchword
oi our l'ulhc Uool >Sy>i m. In its be
ginning, it was in many respects imperfect,
but it has been constantly growing and
steadily advancing toward perfection. Es
pecially has this been the case withiu the
la t few years. OI the many causes com
bined to produce this result, we do not pro
pose to inquire at present. But for what
purpose has such a system been built up ?
Certainly not without an object, kg it has
occupied the attention ot many of our
greatest statesmen, and tire most cultivated
minds in the country. Ambition and the
i" ve of gaiii to l" the prime movers
in, and the solo end of many schemes of
public enterprise. But who will affirm of
ilie; .-ystcia that u has been conceived or
tos to red by a spirit of avarice ? This does
n f appear at first sight, and facts are want
ing to prove it. Nor does it present a le
gitimate field for thai ambition which is the
Bod of so many—only for the ambition of
doing good—which is at all times praise
worthy. The only an.vw r thou to the ques
tion that it w; r founded and has been
nurtured v :-■> much care for the sole
purpose of educating the !• "pie. It has
been happily said by another, 4 Our Com
mon .Schools give the keys of knowledge to
the masses.'
But uo tiie people obtain ail the advan
tages they urght from this system ? Few,
it any will presume to .-ay so. And why
not .' Are Directors unfaithful ' Are
feathers incompetent ? Or are books Lu
adequate to the requirements of the age ?
Vv iCo we admit that i me particular in
gtar.ci much blame in iy be attached to any
or all oi tnesc, vet we think the true solu
tion ui the question is to bo found in tlie
irrejultir ut/> niiuiu e of the children on
the means of instruction.
Y\ c venture to say that this is more po
tent than all other influences combined, in
checking the progress of the scholar, in
dampening the ardor of the teachers, and
dissipating the good influence of iheschool
room. In short, it is a drag upon the
whole system which can be remedied only
by securing the constant and prompt atten
dance of all the pupils of each school.
Let us notice the statistics presented by ,
the State Superintendent, and see the extent
of the evil of which we complain. The
total attendance of scholars iu the State,
exclusive of Philadelphia, lor the year
1859, was 575,251, while the average at
tendance was but 375,089, or only 65 per
cent, of the whole. The cost of Public
Schools for the same time was over 82,000,-
000, of which 85 per cent., or the round
sum of £700,000 was lost by the irregular- j
ity of the pupilc. But to bring the case
nearer home, the I'ublic Schools of our
own county cost, in the year 1859, 813,-
869.37, of which the nett sum of 84,579.
90 was wasted jest ibr want of regularity
of attendance. We might add that a like
proportion of the cost of the buildings,
which was 81,372.24, has also been squan
dered, for school houses iaust of course be
constructed with a view to the accommoda
tion el the largest number.
' But,' says one, 'is it after all such a
great evil ? What is the difference if a
scholar loses a day once in a while? He
can make it uu by extra effort, or by study- |
ing at home, or at some future time.'—
A tiii perhaps he will cite some one as an
example, who by superior diligence has suc
ceeded in redeeming a considerable amount
of lost time. I>ut it needs 110 argument to
prove that such examples must of necessi
ty be very rare; besides, such energy is
sufficient to overcome all oriititury, as well
as many 'Xlraurd mary obstacles that lie in
the way ola regular attendance at school.
And the truth that 'time once lost is lost
forever, 1 is well worth remembering in this
connection. Or is time of so little value,
or education of such minor importance that
we can afford to waste the one or neglect
the other? But it is not only a single les
son. or the instruction of any one day that
is lost by a day's absence from school; both
preceding and succeeding lessons are af
fected to a greater or less extent, because
there is such no intimate connection—uch
a gradual advance from the more e&sv to
the more difficult—that the latter cannot
be thoroughly understood without the ibr
mer. The pupil, too, ha\ ing his mind pre
occupied with so much else, cannot apply
himself with due diligence, even when he
might. Nor can his loss be measured l>v
tin loss of lessors ; ! y falling L hind those
with whom be should keep pace, he is dis
couraged in his pursuit of knowledge, lo
ses confidence in himself, and fails to ac
quire a love of seiiooi or the labors oi' the
schoolroom.
_ But not only is it so much lost to the pu
pil—so much subtracted from the sum of
life —short enough at best, and badly im
proved under the most favorable circum
stances ; but more : it entails 011 him habits
of idleness and carelessness never thor
oughly eradicated in after life, fie be
comes accustomed to do business of what
ever kind in just the same style in which
lie attended school, thus dting injury
through him, to all who become dependent
upon him. For, remember, 'as the twig is
bent the tree inclines.'
And further, The mischief does not stop
wlu the scholar himself, however much he
may suffer. The school us a whole depends
not only upon the teacher, but upon each
•<iid all of the pupils ibr its interest and
general improvement. Children are not
mere machines which can he worked at
pleasure, nor are they such cold calculating
beings as to rise superior to their surround
ings: hut they are social creatures depend
ent upon their companions for the spirit
with which they prosecute their studies.
In proot of this, we need only refer you to
the every day working of any school in the
land.
The teacher, too, is brought under the
influence of the powerful spell. He, too,
is so much the creature of habit that the
frequent, perhaps daily variations of his
school are constantly interfering with his
calculations cf the kind and amount of
mental labor necessary to be expended, to
say nothing of the more apparent altera
tions in his programme of exercises. These
last are so obvious to all who know any
thing about teaching that they need not be
enumerated.
Now, having attempted to set forth ir
regular attend una' in its true proportions,
and to show you some of its results, let us
inquire into some of its causes with a view
of finding out a remedy. First in order
may be mentioned sickness. For this
there is perhaps no adequate remedy;
though we think some of the ills which af
flict the juvenile portion of the communi
ty, are owing to inconvenient and in some
instances dilapidated school houses. Next
may be noticed the grout distance many
have to go. This will ever be a difficulty
while the country is so sparsely settled and
school houses are so ' few and far between.'
But we think that oftentimes children
could be provided with conveyances when
the roads are bad or the weather is inclem
ent. We know that this is done by some
parents who are really in earnest about the
education of their little ones.
However, it is a remarkable fact, but
none the less true, that the most distant
arc often the most regular and the most
punctual in their attendance. Is this then
the principal reason of scholars being de
tained at home? We think not.
A careful examination of the subject
will reveal the fact that many parents are
very listless in regard to the education of
their children. They esteem it of little;
importance whether they go to school or
not, or if they think some schooling neces
sary, they are too easily satisfied with the :
amount. Besides, in some cases the child
ren are left to exercise their own discre- !
tion in this matter, and as a consequence, :
usually consult their own ease instead oi !
their advantage. As long as in the esti- i
mation of parents the petty* services of
their children, though not worth a dime
per day, or their love of present comfort, j
or their prejudices against the teacher or j
the officers of the school board, or forsooth j
their total absorption in business to the ne- j
gleet of their families, —as long as any of'
these things are of more weight than edu
cation, just so long will the standard of at
tendance be as low as it is.
llow then can this be remedied? We
think something may be- done by the teach
er. True, he has no authority to compel
children to attend school, nor is it desira
ble that he should have; but when they
are tnere he can exert such an influence
over them that they will desire always to I

assertion, or even visionary, but wo believe
it is altogether practieaote. However, it
' caunot be dune while those false notions of
! dignity ore retained which lead seine to as
sume cold and haughty not to say superes!-

; These are destructive of that affection
. which should exist between teacher and
; scholar, without which attendance at
j school must ever be an irksome task, lia
: hie to be interrupted by every obstacle the
! child can throw in the way. Tf this is
j true, it I- evidently the duty of the teach
er to secure both the love and respect of
the pupil, iiow this can host bo-done we
i will not stop to inquire, but leave each one
to follow out the dictates of his own judg
ment.
But while something may be dene iu the
school room, there are many other cases
; ihafc cannot Lo reached in this way. l'er
hups something might be effected by extra
efforts ou the part of directors, but after
j ad the only remedy is the better eduea
: tion of the people. This can bo obtained
only by keeping the subject of education

A Little too Semantic.
The New York Tost, of the oth Febru
ary, relates the following: 'Some five
years ago the people of a thrifty village
iii Southern Ohio were very much scandal
ized by the conduct of tlie wife oi' their
Mayor, (western villages always have
Mayors,) who eloped with an actor attach
ed to an itinerant theatrical troupe that
visited the place. The Mayor pursued and
overtook his wile, promising to pardon and
take her back to his hearth and heart if
she wouid discard the actor. She was
quite deaf to his entreaties, utterly refusing
to have anything more to do with him.—
She had imbibed an uucontrolable passion
for spangles, blue tire and reckless adven
tures horn the blood-thirsty two-shilling
literature of the day, and faucied that she
would be very happy with the fascinating
impersonator of brigands, corsairs, and
cheerful people of that sort, upsn iiie mim
ic stage. The unhappy Mayor returned
to his home and people, and, in order to
drown Lis domestic sorrow dashed into the
political sea with headlong impetuosity.—
lie served several successive terms in the
State Legislature, and even ran for Con
gress, but from the uucxpectcd circumstan
ces of his opponent receiving a larger num
ber of \otes than himself, he lost the op
portunity of distinguishing himself in
N ashington. .V few evenings since, being
in the city, the gentleman wandered into a
Bowery concert saloon, where comic songs
of a singular dreary character are sung;
where women who might be better than
they are, but who certainly could not be
worse, dance with a serene indifference to
propriety, and where men and boys congre
gate to drink and smoke, and (as they with
ghastly sarcasm term it) 'enjoy themselves.'
ihe principal dan seme of the establish
ment was the gentleman's long lost wife.
J. licy recognized each other 5 a compromise
was effected; his regard for her was as
strong as ever, and ho again received her.'
Two Alternated Suicides in one HOPSP
-V despatch irom Newark, N. J., says:
Ihe City Hotel here was the scene of an
attempted suicide on Saturday night. A
man and woman largely partook of laud
nuni. Both, however, survived, though
they sufl red much. The man's name is
said to be Moore, connected with the zinc
works, and respectably connected here and
in New York. The woman is unknown.
Ihe case appears to be shrouded in mys
tery, and strong exertions have been made
to suppress the affair.
Lt is asserted that Moore was only affiic
ed with delirium tremens, and that the par
ties occupied separate rooms, and were not
aequain ted.
Ihe lady rs from the West, and the
cause at the attempt upon her own life is
attributed solely to domestic troubles.
1 he simultaneous occurrence in the same
house is regarded as at least a remarkable
coincidence, it no other relation exists be
tween the parlies.
At \\ estiieid, N. Yiu acknowledg
ing a call from those who had assembled to
greet him, Mr. Lincoln remarked that lie
had received a letter l'rom a little girl in
that place, begging him to let his whiskers
grow, as she thought it would improve his
appearance. She promised him if he
would do so she would try and persuade
her big brothers, who were democrats, to
vote for him. He had adopted her sug
gestion, and he would like to know if she
was present to witness with her own eyes
the improvement in his looks. Some one
answered • Yes,' and a pretty Miss of about
twelve summers was blushingly led forward
and presented to him, when Mr. Lincoln
descended from the platform of the car,
and kissed her. The incident created quite
a sensation, particularly among the ladies.
An Arkansas planter was fatally shot by

Cheating/ Goiny On. —h-'ome years ago
a game of poker was being plaved in this
place. Jim C was in it, and during
the game contrived to steal the lour aces
and lay them on his knee, to Ic played at
the proper time. The player who sat next
to him saw the move, add slipping the aces
from their hiding place, putting lour other
cards iu their stead. V hen Jim's turn
came to deal, he called on all hands to go
blind. 'l'll go over all of you.' When
all were in deep enough to suit him, he
reached for his aces, and brought up .some
thing else. Throwing his cards on the ta
ble, in a tone or indignation, he exclaimed:
• Gentlemen, I can't play iu this game ;
there's cheating going on !'

During a speech made by Mr. McKeon,
ot Yew i ovk, iu the House of Represent
atives at Washington on Monday a week,
ne introduced the following pungent reso
lution :
I; Resolved that disunion a:id treason may
be made lawful by adding to article 2 of the
Constitution the following amendment:—
Whenever a party shall be defeated in an
election for- President and Vice President,
such party may rebel and take up arms, ami
unless the successful shall adopt as its own
principles of the defeated party, and consent
to such amendments of the Constitution as
the latter party may dictate, the Union shall
be at an end."
This is an excellent hit at the real posi
tion of tiie secessionists, and is probably
the only amendment of the Constitution
that would satisfy thcin.
