We have before us a copy of the report of the superintendent of public instruc tion in Pennsylvania for the year ending June 5, A. D., 1862. It is an able state paper, a document weithy of careful ex amination and study. It opens with a brief yet eloquent statement of the magni tude of the work of education in our com monwealth. The very figures are elequent en this point. When it is said that there are nearly 22,000 teachers employed, 102 commissioned buperiutendents at work, 15,000 directors in office, and nearly 950, 000 (almost a millieu) children enrolled, but few words are required te arrest at at tentien iu regard te the magnitude of the work of educatiuu in Pennsylvania. ' Te this must be added the 81 colleges, acade mie.1 and private, schools of differtt kinds, with their 14,290 students (and all et thefce are net reported), and finally the 10 normal schools in actual opeiatien, with their large faculties of instruction, and their large list, of students. It seems te us there ought te be a tabular sum mary of the number of teachers and pupils" m these schools. According te our aadi aadi tieu they employ 131 instructors, and had last jear 4,280 pupils enrolled. There are 2G colleges and universities given, with b31 prolesseis and 5,120 students, though a few institutions iu this list designated as colleges are only academies. Of ceuise the superintendent is net responsible for any lack of exactness en this point, be cause these academics have taken the title of college and ai c se reported te him. These figures without any words added are eloquent in setting forth the magni tude of the weik of educatiuu in our great fctate, a nation iu itself. The number of colleges might be lcduced one half with advantage te the cause of higher educa tion, eae might suppose, because the number .1,120 is net by any means ceirect as te the teal number of college btudcuts. Neatly all the colleges, weiiud, include iu this number the students in their pre paratory ilejuitnients The nurabar lealiy in college, theittiuc, is much les than the number given. Taking out of the list tlse '.107 inGiiaid college, where no ifgiii.il college cottise of btudy is pttr.sutd and also the number in the prepaiatery departments, it is doubtful whether the regular colleges of the state could lepert, en an average, mere than 100 students in each one. Fer this leaseu it. seems te us that college education sn our slate would be mete efficient if the number of colleges wers decreased one half, and at the same time the faculty in each doubled, and the appliances te weik with, Mich as chemical anil astronomical appaiatus, vastly iu ci eased. Yet .some geed arguments can be advanced in favor of small colleges. AL.ny et them, no doubt, de quite as geed weik as the large institution, ami at much less expense te the students. But it is the laigci colleges like HaivaidandYale that exert the controlling influence be cause et the weik their professeis perform in the iateiestel science and learning be yond the leaching iu the class ie;iu. The benefit the .student leceives is scatcely hotter in any icspcct than can be oetaincd in an efficient small institution, because much of the teaching is handed ever te tttteis, and the .students seldom come into contact with the leading piofesseiv, scaicely in some cases get te knew them. 15ut then the protessers have the time and facilities te advance their departments beyond the requirements of the class room, and thus the institution becomes a real pevcr iu advancing science in general. Pennsylvania lacks such an institution, and se long as thai is the case she must ceutiuue te take a b.ick seat se far as the weik of advanced scholarship is concern cd. The state ought te have at least one university worthy of the uame. Even Mai land is eutiunning her in the course, wiih her rising Jehn llepldns Cniccisily in Baltimore. Our German population, eiiginally fiem a iatherland which Icadj the wet Id in higher education, should have laid the foundation for ene geed uistttu- turn of the higher character at least can tu i y age. One hindrance in the way of concsuliat cencsuliat ing stteugth in a smaller number of col leges is te be found iu the numcieus divi sions in the chinches, ter it is these, which most generally control our higher educa tion. We would net have this education taken out et their hands, but we could wish that they would form lertain combi nations in maintaining colleges that would lender them uieie efficient. In the theological heminaiics it is ex- pctcd that their peculiar views should be taught, but. we i an see no geed icasen i why Midi distinction should be rigidly ' keut'up in the irterest of college educa j tinn. Still such is the faet. and nethiuc : pethapscans be gained by criticising it. In ei de we mean, in these remaik, te re- J llect in any way upeu the efficient weik dene in our Pennsylvania colleges. If it , is at all iiifrrier te that done in the larger institutions of New England, the fact is te be accounted for, net by supposing that the actual teaching is less careful and , thorough, but en the gieur.d that our preparatory schools aie net up te the I standaid ofthe.se in New England Each j college ncrc is auxteus te get students, time te piepaic properly ler cntrauceiute college. Tlie. lautt then, it may be said, lies after all at the deer of the colleges. They ought te refu-c te receive students net fully piepared. Such is no doubt the cate, but it is difficult for any -".no college te attempt te lemedy the evil unless all join ; for if theone lcfuscs te receive the applicaut, he knows that sorae ether will open its deer te him. The large New Eng land colleges, by reason of their age, pres tige and large constituency iu their alumni aie never in want of students, aud can discriminate rigidly in the qualifications lenuhcd for "entrance. Theic lies the chief difference. Once iu college, the studcut heie receives quite ra geed disc i i pline and training as there, but the stand-a-d for entrance there is perhaps some what higher. This evil could easily be remedied if the Pennsylvania colleges would unite in a preparatory course required for entrance, and then honestly stand by their agree ment. Then it would seen be found that our very best teachers would he required in the preparatory schools, and these schools would take iank with these of like grade in New England. Dr. McCosh, of Princeton, called attention te this evil some years age, aud we fully ender.se his position, that what our colleges in the .Middle States need most of all is a system of academics or preparatory schools of a higher giade, or with a higher and mere rigid standard of preparation. Then our young men would net need te go off te New Euglai.d in elder te get the best ad vantages of a college course. They could find it at home. Wc have extended these lemarks be far en this lone topic that but little space is left te notice ether important points, and the consequence is that tue ptepara- crte uuy ati j. i...i., i... ii.' ......i,,,,..- ,..,.. will drive aw luijr nuuuuiu, iiuiijr tucn diuuwib w.h ( torpid 11 ver their course without giving them sufficient i ,.!lr,ed kidnc either expressed in the superintendent's report or suggested by it. One is, that it is a mistake te attempt te introduce all sert3 of tcchnic studies into our common schools, or even te attempt t J conduct them en the utilitarian prfcc". ple, by teaching children what is usually atyled the practical. On this point tue report very wisely remarks that "it is net the province of the public school system, in its separate character, te direct its train ing immediately te any or all of these various pursuits of manhood,however use ful or necessary they may be Te begin with the various technical pursuits of life in the interest of vicious utilitarianism.and crowd our schools with that variaty of studies, which the age, iu its rapid mater ial progress, demands of men, is te rnake the mind itself fragmentary and incoher ent, weak in its grasp, and narrow iu its scope of vision. The moral effect is also dangerous ; for such a course places iu the foreground merely relative cuds, and refuses te see the real worth of a full, de veloped personality." Without referring te the moral aspect of the subject, which is, of course, the most important, it must ba evident that such se-called utilitarian, or piactical. education do de feats its own ends. Teach childieu. the plea is, what they will need te knew and practice when they grew up te manhood. Teach them what in useful, hew te make a living, ifcc. Well, even allowing this te be a proper end of educa tion, the question still is, what sort of training will best prepare the young even te make a living, te provide for their phy sical necessities and wants ? Surely it :"s net wise te leap ever th preliminary training of the mind that is necessary for success in any practical pursuit in life. It would be like the music teacher yielding te the wish of the scholar te he put at once upon the practice of a piece befoie that scholar had learned the mere rudi ments, or the skill of using? the lingers en the piano. If a young man wants te leain a trade he must leceivc training fir.-t in the mere use of tools. Is it a waste of time te put him upon that prelimtiiaty tiaiuing befoie he begins what would be called practical work ? And yet this beu.-:.lc3M elimer is con stantly dinned into our ears, teach the children what is useful is practical ! Ne bensible person is opposed te tine utili tarianism in education or in any ether in terest iu life ; it is weug and ialse views of utilitarianism thatthe report se tersely and forcibly opposes. The only plea of any feics in iaver of incorporating some industrial training into our schools that we have inct v, ith is the plea, that in our day it is getting te be impossible te place yetdig men whete they can learn trades. The various trade-unions have driven efF the old custom of appien ticeship, and nowadays a young man who wishes te become a mechanic can find no opportunity te leain his trade. Tins 's ceitainly au evil, but it mut.t he fought in ether ways than by turning our schools into rudimentary workshops. If them is a demand for such industri ii schools wltcie the young may leain the piactical puicuiis of life, let some individuate or eei pota tions statf. them for that distinct jnirpesf. but de net mit up -ueii an in'eic-it; as that with the work of our ce;ntu.!i schools. Indeed, there ought lather te he a law forbidding patents placing their ehihtien iu the woikshep or factory tuuil after a cettain age, as there i.3 in Germany, atwi perhaps in some ether rntieiis of Europe", (Jhildicn .should have proper time te re ceive an education, in the pieper spuse, before they ae crowded into the piactical pursuits of life. We will come te see tLe necessity for some Mich regulation in our country after while. Thcre are mauy forms of this pseudo utilitarian priuciplc. It is a teal pretctis. It fellows our higher education with its insidious and deceptive picas. It raiis out against studying this and that in our col leges. New it is the study of Latin and Gicek that is net practical, lsameic waste of time. ; then, it is the higher mathe matics, or philofephv . 15nt it is a mistake and fiilse pica everywhere, when it tets itself thus against the tute education and eultuic of the mind for their own sr.Ie ptimarilv. and in and through these ter 11 nroerr and nccessaiv uses lb' dectrine of uses is true, but this popular cry for the iiFeful and the prac tieal in education is, for the most part, a decppHen. We aie glad the slate .super intendent plants himself en thts sound position. Let the children have at least a loasenable time te develop their little bcidies and young mitids befeie the ques tion of practical work is thrust upon them. Given a sound mind in a sound b dy, ami any young man can Fet himself te a suc cessful mastery of a practical pursuit in life. This saire view might be applied te the tendency te crowd our schn''s with t e many studies and te the evil of cram ming tnem with these they iiav.. cmi- (Iren should net he crowded with tee many studies at one time, and they should have full tim-) te master these they have But our papci h?s already exceeded the length we intended, and we shail i esc: ve what else wohnve te nay en the sup.-::ntcndent's icpeit for another ai lido.

PLAIN TRUTHS The bleed is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, geed health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way te drive it out is te purify aud enrich the bleed. These simple lacts are well known, aud the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restere the bleed te its natural condition ; and also that ail the iron preparations hitherto made blacken theteeth, cause headache, and are otherwise injurious. Brown's Iren Bitters wili thorough ly aud quickly assimilate with the bleed, purifying and strengthening it, and thus drive di(-ease from any pait of the system, and it will net blacken the teeth, cause headache or constipation, anil is Kisitively net in jurious.

Silk novelties innumerable and indescribable. Everything that ladies or dressmakers have occasion for in matching, deco rating, combining. What we are remarkable for, mere than for anything else in silks, is va riety ; or, at least, we are re puted se. Yeu hear it said by everybedy: "If you want te match anydiing, or find a rare silk, even an unexpectable one, go te Wanamaker's." The ether peculiarity that everybody expects te find here is less pleasant te speak of; lower prices. We put it second, because there are people who don't credit us with lower prices. Still, we imagine that if one should assert the con trary, almost everybody in Phil adelphia would believe it.
