Tit the August number of the School Journal is an admirable article, in reply to the question—now very pertinent—" flow to conduct District Institutes?" P.ofessor Hates gives so many excellent suggestions, that every teacher in the State ought to read them ovei and study them carefully, in order to render the exercises of these Institutes as interesting and practically useful as they ear, be made. Let every teacher in Mifflin county be sure to read that article ; if you have nut the Journal, borrow it from the Secretary of the School Hoard. In these Institutes much depends upon the willingness of each member to do what is asked of him—whether to conduct a given exercise, or to prepare a report on some assigned topic, or to write an essay, or to take part in a discussion. It is easy for one or two headstrong teachers (if teachers ever are headstrong, or unamiable iii aO3- respect) to kill an Institute —by in sisting that such and such branches shall not be pursued, by refusing to du w!;ut is assigned to them, by neglecting to prepare themselves thoroughly for the exercises prescribed. I trust, that no teacher in this count 1 ' tyil! so far forget what belongs to a teacher, what disposition a true teacher should manifest, as to do anything that wili lessen the interest or detract from the ben eficial results of these excellet. t aids to Loth teachers and I am somewhat sus picious when I hear a teacher finding fault with the Institute to which he belongs ; it occurs to uie as very possible, if riot abso lutely certain, that the trouble is in the complainer, — he probably does not try to make the Institute what it ought to be. Ou the other hand, when a teacher speaks encouragingly of his Institute, my pre sumption is that he is doing his best for it. " l>o not try to crowd too many things into a single lesson, but take up a single point and make your instruction complete and exhaustive," is the advice of I'pof'egsor Bates to those who conduct exercises or instruct, in Saturday Institutes; and I wish to emphasize his advice, and to add this to it, that those who are in the place of learneps or students be determined to proLe every subject that is made the topic for study,—not wait to be told about it by the instructor, but search into it for yourselves and make yourselves masters of it. Try to understand fully all the rninu tia, of the subjects discussed, and qualify yourselves to make a clear, concise, com prehensive statement and explanation of them all. But, one caution may be pertinent here : Do not try to explain what is already per fectly understood, and when just the re quired words of a statement or explanation are uttered or written, stop! Teachers should be deeply grateful that the Legislature gave them two days of every school month for self-improvement. To be sure, these days were given for the purpose of enabling teachers to qualify themselves more fully for the proner in struction and training of their pupils; but it is impossible for them to make them selves better teachers without gaining knowledge and discipline whieh are in a high degree beneficial to themselves So, while using these days conscientiously ac cording to the letter and spirit of the law, they are really progressing in the direct line of their own interests. S. Three Pertinent Questions. Teachers, do you read the articles in the educational column ? JJo you subscribe for and read any educational journal? Would not this be a good plan : Let the four, six.ov more teachers in any District, subscribe for as many different journals, as the Pa. School Journal, X. Y. Teacher, Ohio Ed. Monthly, Mass. Teacher, Illinois Teacher, Coryi. C. S. Journal, etc., —and, by exchanging each teacher have the ben efit of all of thOm ? Thiuk of it. ? EXWITYJiiErWEEN ANIMALS— T&EIR PECULIARITIES. There is a continual enmity anion" aui mals; they are constantly attacking and pursuing each other; every element is a field of battle for them; the eagle is the terror of the inhabitants of the air; the tiger lives upon the earth by carnage; the pike in the waters; and the mole under the ground. It is the want of food which in duces these, and many other species of ani mals to destroy one another. But there are some creatures whose hatred of each other does not proceed from the same source. Those animals which entwine themselves around the'elephant's trunk, and press it till they have suffocated him, do not act so with the design of procuring food. When the ermine leaps upon, and lays hold of, the ear of the bear and the elk, and bites them with his sharp teeth, we cannot affirm that this is done to satisfy the call of hunger. There is scarcely any creature, however small, which docs not serve for food to some other animal. I k.'.ow that many people think chat this arrangement is cruel and unnecessary, but I can with confidence assert, that even" this antipathy and euniity among animals, is a proof that every thing is wisely ordered. If we con sider animals, in the whole, we shall find that it is highly useful that some should subsist upon others; for while, without this arrangement of Nature, many species could net exist; so, also, these numerous species, instead of being prejudicial are extremely useful Insects and many reptiles feed on carrion; others establish themselves in the bodies of certain animals, and liye upon their flesh and blood; and these insects themselves serve as food for other crea tures. Carnivorous animals and birds of prey kill and feed upon other animals. Some species igqltiply so abundantly, that they would become burdensome if their numbers were not diminished. If there were no sparrows to destroy insects, what would become of tire flowers and fruits? Without the ichneumon, which seeks out and destroys tire crocodile's eggs, this ter rible animal would increase to an alarming degree. A great portion of the earth would be desert, and many creatures would not exist, it there were no carnivorous an imals. It will perhaps be urged that they might live upon vegetables, but if this wprp the case, our fit Ids would scarcely afford subsistence lor sparrows and swallows; and the structure of carnivorous animals must have been quite different from what it now is; and if fish did not live upon the inhab itants of the water, l.ow would they be able to exsist? Besides, if the wars among ani mals were to cease, they would lose much of their vivacity and industry, the creation would be less animated, and man himself would lose much of his activity. We may also adu that we should be deprived of many striking proofs of God's wisdom, if univer sal peace was to prevail among animals; for the address, sagacity and wonderful in stinct which they use in laying snares for and surprising their prey, very evidently manifest the wisdom of the Creator. So far then is the enmity which exists among animals from darkening the wisdom and goodness of God, that they receive addition al brilliancy from what superficial observ ers think an imperfection. It forms part of the plan of the great system of Nature, that one animal shoqld persecute and foed upon another. We might indeed com plain of this arrangement, if it occasioned the entire destruction of any one species, but this never happens, and the continual wars among animals preserve a proper bal ance between them. Thus carnivorous an imals are indispensable links in the chain of beings; and on this account their num ber is very small, compared with that of useful animals. We may also remark that the strongest and fiercest animals have com monly the least sense aud cuuning. They either mutually destroy each other, pr their young ones serve as food for other beasts. Hence also Nature has granted to the weakest species so much industry and means of defence. They possess instinct, acuto ness of sense, quickness, skill and sagacity sufficient to counterbalance the strength of their enemies. Can any one, then, behold this without acknowledging the infinite wisdom of the Creator, and confessing that this state of warfare, which at first seems so strange, is, in fact, a real good? We should be still more convinced of it. if we were better aoquainted with the whole system of things, and the relations and con nections which different creatures have with each other, but this is a degree of knowledge reserved for a future state, where the divine perfection will be mani fested in infinite splendor. We may, how ever, in some measure, even in this world, comprehend why these hostilities among animals are necessary; but we can by no means conceive why men, whose nature is so much more noble, should be continually fomenting wars and divisions so destructive to their race. To the disgrace of humani ty, and the eternal reproach of the Chris tian religion, men pursue wais, and des troy each other with ipore savage barbari ty than the wildest beasts that range the forests; than which, nothing is more oppo site to the great ends for which they were created. Surely man was designed to ren- I der himself useful to his fellow creatures, to contribute ail in his power to their com fort and happiness; to be the defender o.f the helpless, the benefactor of the poor, and the iriend of the afflicted and unfortu nate. Let us not counteract these merci ful designs of our blessed Lord, but en deavor to live in that peace and harmony which becomes the children of God, and followers of an humble and crucified Sav iour; leaving animals, which are destitute of reason, to quarrel, fight, persecute and destroy one another ; while wo live in char ity with all men, doing good unto all men, doing unto others as we would that they should do unto us.— Sturm.
