itorat intelligence. Meeting of the Pennsylvania State Teachers' Association. For some time past our citizens have been looking forward to the meeting of the State Teachers' Association with considerable interest. The expected presence of so many of those who aro engaged in the groat cause of education, and actively employed in the arduous duties of a teacher's life was well calculated to arouse pleasur able anticipations. The local committee of which Colonel Wm. L. Boar is Chair man were assiduous in their efforts to provide for the comfort of the many ex pected guests. Our citizens kindly opened their houses, and the hotels agreed to re duce their rates of fares for the occasion. A committee met the teachers arriving at the depots and gave them all required aid in finding accommodations. The Court house was granted by the Commissioners to the Association as a place for meeting, and it looks very elegant in its new coat of fresco ing and all the nicety of fresh paint and fine curtains. The graining of the doors, desks, seats, is admirably done, and the curtains are of fine green damask.— The teachers of the State are the first to occupy the court-room since its thorough renovation. At ten o'clock on Tuesday, the State Teachers' Association opened its seven teenth annual session in the Court House. The attendance, never large on the first day, promises well for a larger sessimi than oven the last years' meetingat Greensburg, when that ancient village was Supercrowded, and some visitors were obliged to stop at two hotels in order to get lodgings and refresh ment, and did not fully succeed at that.— Our old city being somewhat larger, will doubtless comfortably accommodate all who attend. It is a good-look ing assemblage. Though not physically robust, especially the ladies, the faces evidence a higher intellectual and moral standard than the public assemblies to which we are accustomed. President 11. S. Jones, 01 Erie opened in a few remarks and introduced Puy. 11. C. Nuesserott, of St. John's Lutheran Church, who read front the Scriptures ( I Corinth ians, xi ) and offered an appropriate prayer. In the absence of the Secretary, A. M. Martin, of Corry, J. Morton Thonnis, Phil adelphia, teas CllO,lllll Secretary in, tem. The Treasurer, Amos Row, haring left the State and the profession, P. M. Young, County Superintendent of Lehigh, was substituted. A Committee on was ap pointed to perfect a list or the members. County Superintendent Evans read an address of welcome, conveying the good will of lin , community, which he said was no idle profession. We extend our hospi tality' and expeet to derive both pleasure and lamelit from your stay among us.— After contrasting the petteeful triumphs or education with the horrors Or war, hedrew a pleasant picture or the "garden spot," and passed on to its educational room! and its well-known names, paying a feeling tribute to the Indies and SerViel, in the eollllllollSehOoi eause, of ThaddeusSteyens, and advising a visit to thesacred spot whore his remains repose. 110 did not look upon the work to lie done with 010S:1111e vompla veney as nutny others; much has Item ac confplished, but huge barriers yet obstruct our way.

Ilis description of El t'apitan, ;frock wall rising:l,3oofeet per pendicular from the floor of the valley, was interesting and well portrayed.— TAO Bridal Veil Fall wits also beautifully lectured, twit the effect of the grandeur of the scene alleged to be removing all sense of danger from the beholder, even in the most perilous places. The recital of these • scenes, substantiated Its it is by all the au thorities, is almost incredible; a tree 1511 feet high atitl 3 in diameter standing in, the Melte in the rock, so high above the ob server :ts to be discerned with greatest dif ficulty • or the South Dome, upon the top of whic h the pyramids of Egypt, the most stupendotis work of human hands, would hart ornamental addenda to the colossal • pile. C. IL 'larding, formerly of the State ' - Normal School sang something relative to firimes' cellar door--whether the old Grimes famous in other ancient songs we do not learn; but it was well sung and displayed to advantage a fine baritone voice. The President (Prof. Jones) read his in augural address, as required by the By laws. His subject was proposed as "The Old and Now in Education." Reverence for the old too often becomes idolatrous worship, and improvement and reform have always bitter and powerful enemies. Ho drew a dark picture of ancient ignorance, instancing the persecution of discoveries. By the old in education he meant the feed ing upon the dry bones of the past and ignoring the rich healthful food of the ppcsent. The now reverse all this.^We do not condemn the old because it is old. Truth never grows gray or wrinkled —it is over young and elastic with adapta tion ; but the dead leaves and sloughed-off bark should be allowed to fall into dust, and the school stand leading and aggres-. sive in the front of the forces that are bat tling for the good of humanity. It has moved on with astonishing strides, as have business, population and wealth. Ile next "wont through" the schools of "the Hub" as they existed 25 years ago, in advanced pupils, and followed by picturing the growth of the work since, quoting the School Journal. The now education holds that a man's brain is worth more than his muscle; that the choicest property of a nation is not its material wealth, but in the children preparing for the work of the next generation that the teachers should have character, scholar ship, special preparation, executive force and enthusiasm for his profession, that study fur learning's sake is good, but for humanity's sake is far better. It holds that labor without brains is ignoble, but labor with brains is scort by of a king. The following report, laid over from lost session, eluno up for discussion as the next order: Resolved, That certificates issued to well qualified teachers. should lie permanent, except in cases where the holder is found to In, morally or intellectually incapable of performing successfully the teacher's duties Resolved, That inasmuch as itt present two permanent certificates are provided for by law, viz: The certificate gran toil by the State Department, which is permanent within the county for which it is granted, and may be made permanent Mr any other eountylby being endorsed by the County Superintendent thereof, and the State Nor mal School Certificate, which is permanent throughout the State, no ether form of per manenl certificate is needed ; and WO there fore advise that no further legislative action be had open the subject of permanent ecr- Ii /e/wohicit, That great care should be ex ercised by the County l'onimittee on per manent certificates, to avoid recommending umvorthy applicants, :0111 that said com mittee should recommend none without examination, unless they have - ample evi dence from other source that the applicant is thoroughly (pialilied.

Selsiedler, lEethlchow, oil behalf of the Verein of the (Aeriniiii 111/CNS PellllSyl- Vanill, offered the Mllowingt iftwo/rett, That, for reasons which, be cause they are well knotvli to every educa tor ill the State, need not, he enumerated lucre, the State Teachers' Association of Pennsylvania would hereby earnestly recomineml the introduction of the lierimut language into our common schools, not . , however, as a more ornament to the course of study, nor yet as a mere bait to attract and retain pupils who would otherwise go to other schools, but as a branch 01' regular, systematic, and thorough instruction. Itesolved, That in order to reach the aim involved in the preceding resolution, more tiermau-linglish teachers should bo ape pointed to the various positions in our com mon schools. Resolved,' That in order to produce a larger number of German-English teachers, a Gorman-English professorship should be established at our State Normal Schools, and the study of the German language made compulsory in each of said schools. A. 0. Newpher, Middletown, read a paper on State Aid to Permanent Teachers. The proposition he advocated was this—we give it in his own words : " That it shall be the duty of the State Superintendent of Com mon Schools to set apart, from the gross amount of all funds appropriated by the State for Common School purposes,such an amount as shall be sufficient to. pay to each school district or institution of learning that employs,in teaching or superintending any school or schools, persons holding certiti mites of graduation from Normal Sehools,or persons holding permanent certificates, the sum of four dollars per month for the first year, and six dollars per month for the second and all succeeding years, for each person so employed; provided that the number of months reckoned in any one year, for one teacher, shall not exceed ten." This, he thought, ,v °Lila act as a stimulus to all grades of teachers, and would exempt first-class teachers from underbidding by those of lower grade. It would also bring more professional students to the Normal Schools. The plan, whether feasible or not, was well advocated. Mrs. Randall being present, read, by re quest, "Toll, Roland, Toll'" Music by l'irele-90 Years Ago. The resolutions offered by the Cmmnittee on Permanent Certithiates, laid over trout last session, and discussed land published in yesterday's 1 ntelligenrcr I, now canto up for further action. Prof. Burtt was proceeding to discuss the resolutions,,\ hen Mr. New pher, by permis sion offered the following as a substitute: licxul ved, That a committee of three be appointed by the chair to pre iare and se cure the passage of a law to 7ovido a State Board of Examiners, who shat l examine all candidates for graduation from State Nor mal Schools, and all applicants for State Permanent Certifieates ; and to provide for the payment of a certain sum in addition to the quota of the general school fund, to those school districts which shall employ graduates of Normal Schools and holders of permanent certificates. Prof. Parker, Philadelphia, and Prof. Burtt, chairman of the committee, opposed the substitute, the latter saying that it was out of order, but he would waive that in order to get a vote. A motion to postpone the consideration of the substitute was lost. Prof. Burnt said those who wanted the Legislature to meddle with their certili eaten should vote for the substitute ; those who did not, should vote it down. And it was voted down. The resolutions were then collsidered. The first "that all certificates issued to It-ell-qualified teachers should he perma nent," was adopted, after smile sparring bettreen l'rof. Iffirtt and Vier ('resident \\lyers—the latter thittl:ing the resolution absurd. The second resolution, declaring that no additional form of certificate is needed, wit, laid over until to-Inorrow.

Prof. Hall, by request, sang the "Bugle Bong" in his admirable style.; On motion of State Superintendent Wick ersham thanks were returned for Dr. Cat tell's address. • Prof. Brooks called up his Bible resolu tion, postponed from this morning. It was again read. C. H. Harding Inqurled what Bible was meant? Prof. Brooks (easlvvely) answered " The Bible ;" and on being further interrogated said ho took the name in its broad sense— the Word of God—His revelation. A. L. Harrison advocated liberality.— Nothing was to be gained by passing the resolution, and there may be something lost. He moved to lay on the table. The motion was lost. J. R. Sypher regretted that such a motion had been made, especially from the side that desired further dicussion this morning. Prof. Burtt hoped no motion would be made to prevent a square vote, and pro ceeded to make the best speech upon his side of the question. He might be wrong, but he was firmly convinced of the truth of his position. Those who burned what they called heretics believed themselves rlght,l but posterity knows better. Those who hung stary Dyer on Boston Common, be muse she was? Q uak or, thought they were right; but we know better. Now are we not applying the same tyrannous principle when we say that WO will have the Protes tant Bible in the State schools, for which all are taxed—that we will tax the parents to pay for teaching their children to disbelieve in their religion? lie would not be sur prised at being voted down, but protested against being called unsound in the faith. lie was sounder than his opponents; he was willing to trust Christianity in a fair field, while they seemed to fear for its per manency as the religion of the intelligent if the earth, and were desirous of bolster ing it up by legislation or otherwise. Can we not give the live hours of school to literary and moral training--]saving all the rest ofthe clay, and Saturday and Sunday besides, for relighlus teachings at home. He slid nut wonder at the Roman Catholic fearing the light of education ; but the truth need not fear. Give a man the light of knowiedge, and ho will the quicker believe God's truth. 110 denied that the scripture alone bad made us a great and ivies people. Buckle and other great investigators of modern civilisation agree in ascribing our high position to intellectual culture. En lightened people will have a high relig ion—the ignorantare always superstitious. Many eminent Protestant divines believed the Bible had better be out of the schools. Ills own district was Catholic; if there was nothing, objectionable to them, their chil dren could be brought into the schools ;but give the priests a chance to argue against it, anal you cannot give them a chance for light. The Catholics of his district would rejoice at thepassage of the resolution, be cause it would unable them to keep up the agitation. Miss Martha Scofield, of Darby, follow ed. She said we need not give up Christ, or Christian teachings, or Christian exam ple; but must WO force creeds upon those who want such an excuse to retuuin in darkness, and would rather be ignorant titan wise. We shall think before we vote on so int irortant a question as this. Prof. Avers made the representative speech in favor of the resoltition. Re ligious instructirm must Ire based on the scriptures; ill; which he understood King James' versio n. We have been referred to the lights of this ad quarter of the 19th century—why not go hack the years, or further. Ilistory is the host proof upon this question. With the ability of a ripe scholar, he then gave us instances of the condition of the people under the various forms of ancient and modern civilization— civilization of the intellect. All had failed to elevate the masses, ruin the last had cul minated in the Reign of 'Terror—hitting fruit of such a tree. As a legislator he would, however, oppose forcing the Bible into the schools; of the State, fiery being for temporal, not religious purposes. A.

Whatever obstructs is inimical to the so cial or material welfare, impairs the vigor of the physical constitution or corrupts the moral life, must be a clog upon civilization, destructive of the highest interests of hu manity, and demands the application of some chicient remedy at the hands of the people. I ntemperance as a vice is second to none; as a scourge, its ravages surpass all other evils combined. It drags down its victims front every eminence. The cause is not in local or transitory circumstances, not in corrupt legislatures, not in the 200,000 mag azines of moral death scattered all over the land, nor in the courts which grant the charters of destruction ; those are only co effects of the same cause—the outward signs of an inward evil, deeply rooted in the life of society. This error has been propagated for centuries and the only re medy is in a rearrangement of the social and moral forces, giving the higher moral faculties a more commanding position, and subordinating the lusts of the flesh. Wo must have for this an education to develop the threefold nature of man, acccording to the principles of life and growth. The drinking usages of society prevent the ap plication of this, the only trustworthy re medy.

Newpher was chosen. " What Itt,trictions, if any, should be placed upon the State Normal Schools, in respect to the grade of pupils they re ceive?" was discussed by 11. P. Pierce, Oxford. lle was a friend to Normal Schools, but could see some Stilts in them. Ile believed pupils were graduated too young; that the standard of qualification W:1,1 1.00 b r a; and that 110110 should be ad ninted but those who desire to teach. J. It. Sypher admitted that the true ob ject of Normal Schools is to give profes sional education in the scones of teaching, which presuppost, acquaintance with the common branches. They should nut lie academies. 11th the tints has not VOL come when we have such pupils to teach, and we must do the best we can in the interim.— Restrictions, such as spoken of, will be needed hereafter, but the time is not yet. W. W. Woodruff said the question re stricted us to the grads of pupils received. What the graduate should be was a question which had not received the attention its importance demands. Ile said he could tell on entering, a school whet it had a Normal teacher. The sane time spent in a Normal Schott tither things equal) will I do more for a teacher than in any other. Prot:. Wvers said it was evident that Nor mal Schools were I fr. set b u t lie was old enough, and well enough known, G. say what, he thought without being suspected nwtive, Ile desired to ask sums questions. 'the Normal Schools, when recognized, receive SI. ,neO from the State, and slime of the pupils receive assist- anee also. If they are only Normal Schools in mune, with what Cara can they reeeive the appropriation ?—and did these benefici ary pupils sign a contract to trait two years? Prof. Brooks replied. 'rho statement of the [31. - •,00o State Appropriation was correct. The beneneiary pupils were such pupils, over 17 years, as pledged themselves to teach I'm' the required period, awl wounded soldiers of our late war. [" Amen "—said Prof. Wyers.] Ile welcomed the frank, open expression of opinions on this Hoer, even when adverse to the interest of the Normal Schools. l'rof. Wyers said these Normal Selaails were so important to the work that, he would hail the day when they SIIOIII , I Is , truly normal, and he did not want them restrained until it was entirely practicable. Ile hoped the time would [4,110 when col lege graduates would go to these SOISSIIs to learn to teach, and when he wanted a teach er of languages he could send to Professor Brooks and get one. Ile would not repeat his Greensburg questions. Prof. Brooks hoped he would do so. Prof. \\ - core said IM:objection lay mainly against the law. The faculty or one school examine the graduates of another, :n u t rice rer.sa, he did not doubt their honesty, lint WO all are but men, and would there not be a disposition to make the noire gentle, lest Sevl.rity should provoke, retaliation. Ile :lISO ,101111M1 the ex polien,y of employing, as teachers and professors of a school, its own graduates; a stream 1,11- 11ot rise above its sunree, and a certain sameness would ensue; on the same prin ciple that denominational colleges are gen erally rim in a somewhat narrow groove, Prof. Brooks said that tine had Il[und the selection of their own graduates to M I MIC. well—having so much material, they had ample choice. 'rho reciprocal ONllllOlllO.iOll was a delicate matter, but no better method had yet been suggested, though the. übject had been much thought of. Ile could re- commend to Prof. Wyer, a classical teacher IlliNV—Mr. !larding—who wmild be aeeept able. Ile lti,Stractly in facer of :Wade mir pupils, but it ilia not believe in a linii tation—ba,ed on ‘vottid shut out much of out 1),I, most available ma tot ial. Prof. Carver objected to requiringa pledge to teach—we should waste in, money on try sticks. Neither should we cut oil . the department of elementary instruction—Nve need that for the higher classes to practice poll. Mr. Newpher called up his resolution, on a State ExivAiining Board, and pressed their immediate passage. \V. Ford, Pitt_sburgh, moved that the ;nat ter be referred to a rum mitten of three, :‘tr.

The Executive Committer reported through its Chairman, C. W. Deans, as fol lows : The Executive Committee of the Penn sylvania State Teachers' Association, in compliance with article nine of the consti tution, beg leave to present the following report of their proceedings during the year now closed : First—We congratulate the members of this State Association, and all interested in th e of education in the State, upon the educational prosperity which has inarlri\the history of the year. In all .gradris olvinstitutions, from the college to the iiiilllllloll srhonl, wit heal. of the trial of a success, born of earliest rifort on the part of those laboring, in each, to earn that tared of praise which a generous public is ever willing to bestow upon those 11 hit lab., tor WC if, it i , that which can idiom give real value thereto, vie : a just rtilllllllPraliiiii toe surcirrs thin 1•111“,,11.0,1 "Beautiful Illvcr," and But 11, din ;Ind evri. 11011 i 0, 01,, kill limo pe,ple• br ,low in till.r000g16(j,,,,r(110L1,111- ,00(14herlt importance Anti V.llllO, xn,l tho 0110rIS I , llt forth to A , •lli,en. it.

The great work now partly achieved and in process of acimnplishment by the labors of this body consists chiefly in fixing inure definitely the limits within which oath laborer in this field should act, the sphere of each claws of institutions, defining the duty of the tittle and the duty of the Mill yid tud In their respective spheres, and in giving that needed stimulus which comes only from a healthy and spirited competi tion. This emoting, we trust, has not been bar ren of sonic substantial resulto. Your Ex ecutive Committee have labored diligently to nwet every reasonable ex peotation of the Association. The work must speak for it self. It is now before you. You are the judges. The members of the Executive Commit tee, residing as they do at points remote front each other, have found it difficult to communicate except by letter. No meeting has been hold or called during the year. The labor done has, in the main, devolved upon the Chairman of the Committee, and for the blunders he must be held responsi ble. lie cheerfully acknowledges the advice and timely suggestions made by other members of the committee. The Chairman of the Committo lies, dur ing the year, written two hundred and fifty letters on matters pertaining to this meeting of the Association, has had printed and cir culated over the State ono thonsand circu lars advertising the meeting, and furnished one thousand pamphlets containing pro gramme, constitution, music, resolutions, etc., for the use of the members. The local arrangements wore intrusted to a number of competent gentlemen 1n the city of Lancaster, and to them we are in debted for the admirable arrangements which have rendered this session of the Association memorable in point of comfort and every needed convenience. The repu- tattoo of this good old city for its hospital ity to strangers is still maintained. The expenses of the Committee, though large, are not in excess of former ones.— They will aggregate $43.20, the items of which will appear in the accounts of the Treasurer and Auditing Committee. All of which is respectfully submitted. Adopted. State Superintendent Wickershamimade the excuses of Dr. Van Bokkelen, announ ced to lecture upon "What Americans have done far Education." "School Illustration" was treated by T. Clarkson Taylor, our friend of the Yosem ite Valley. His experiments wore made with simple apparatus, and were moat in teresting to the grown up children, and would be admirable in the school room.— One, with two plumb-bobs suspended from a horizontal cord, illustrating the principle that action and re-action aro equal and contrary excited no little interest.— He also subjected an egg to the ac tion of alcohol,: mixing the alcohol and albumen, outside his stomach, as ho said and advised. lie made a stroll' , temper ance lecture of the experiment. lie illus trated the oblate spheroid shape of revolv ing bodies, by a hoop suspended and re volving on a pivot, and deduced the natur al law. This little frame, with various bodies suspended, was made to illustrate the lass governing matter in a manner wonderful to most of the audience. The thanks of the Association were voted Mr. Taylor for his admirable meth od of demonstrating how natural science mav be taught in the public schools. Music—" Hear Me, Norma." Brief speeches were then made by Col. Barker, Buffalo, N. Y.; and Prof. Carver, Bloomfield, both of whom expressed them selves gratified with the work of the session. Prof. W. IS. Hall was called upon and gave us " "fie Evening Brings My Heart to Thee," and being encored, demonstrated "The Folly of Wooing at Five o'clock in the Morning." - - Prof. Brooks was called upon. Ito re joiced at the harmony which had distill gtished the present session. It was right, for the work of all these builders is one whatever specialty they may puraue.— There is but ono way to do anything fur man, for society, or for the Stale, and that is to educate the people—tu give them Christian education, founded on the Ihhle —nut the ethics and moral code of Confu cius or other heathen philosophers. Ile ascribed the glory just achieved by Prus sia to her education. The Prussian com mon school, more than the Prussian needle gun, is achieving, victory. Heaven bless the great work. The Committee on Resolutions reported that, the matter concerning the introducth of the German language into the schools, being calculated to provoke diseussion,they had jusiged it best not to present it so late in the session, mid it hail therefore last transferred to the Executive Committee, to la, presented in a report or Slane other form at next session. The following resolutions were reported and adopted: That we hereby tender our thanks to the Executive Committee :And ;ill the officers of this e 'iation for their un tiring and Attece,sful efforts in preparing for us, and carrying out, a programme of interesting and practieal topics. lieAde,ol, That our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to the reporters of the Philadelphia Prexs, Inquirer, Morning Public Record, Pittsburgh I'ummer eirtl, and the press of Lancaster for their very full reports of the proceedings of this Association, thus recognizing the impor tance of scattering from one end of the State to the other its deliberations.

ReNolvt•d, That deeply sympathizing with his bereaved widow and children, the Cor responding Secretary of this a.ssoviation is hereby instructed to furnish them with a copy of these resolutions. Adopted by a rising vote. Prof. Wyors was called on, and said the President showed aj list appreciation of the laws of order. Ile had began at the summit; the Normal School; then came the College; and now he asked the humble representa tive of the Academy, to take his turn. It was cruelty to make a man squeeze his brain in the vain search fur an idea, in a baking-oven, like this. We have dune something, and quarrelled less than is our wont. We have behaved ourselves pretty well, and not needed the police. Ile was overwhelmingly applaud e d. Prof. Ilan sang " The Wanderer's Eve ning Hymn." State Superintendent Wickersham said, when vaned, that he was the last man who 4011_1111. 10 he expected to talk here--ho had lawn doing it so long anti no often.
