[ For the Bradford Reporter.]
Educational.
It a meeting of the Bradford County Teach
,.r< Association, held at Orwell Hill, on the
stli ami hth instant, it was ordered and decreed
that there be a committee of one male and one
female appointed to prepare, or cause to be
prepared, an article for the Reporter, upon the
subject of popular education, once in two weeks;
a |so a similar committee for the Argus. It
was further ordered and decreed, that your
humble servant should be one of said com
mittee.
\ o w, therefore, in accordance with said or
der and with your assent, I will proceed to
present to your readers a few thoughts, hints
and suggestions, upon school house, their lo
calitv, structure, arrangement and so forth. I
am aware, that I am treading upon a delicate
subject: every tax payer in the County, who
has no children to educate, and who cares no
thing for theeducatiou of the rising generation,
onlv so far as that education will increase the
actual value of lii.s property during his life
time : I say every such person is ready to say,
•ivhv, I do not see but our school house will a -
-•.ver well enough for some years yet—it is us
good as the one I went to school in." Now,
although I may perchance tread upon the toes
of some such person, I shall give my views
plainly.
First as to the locality of a district school
liouse. The general practice is, to select a .
piece of ground that is either in such a shape I
that it is not worth fencing, or so poor that it
will not pay for cultivating ; or else put the
building in the corner where three or more
roads cross each other, so as not to be obliged
to pay anything for the site. Now, would the J
inhabitants of any district select such a place j
for their dwelling houses? When a man is j
about to build a habitation for himself and j
family, does he look for the poorest spot on
hi- farm, because the land occupied by the
Imuse will be rendered valueless for cultivation? j
l!y mi means, the pleasantest ?}>ot on the farm !
i> selected. The place must be easy of access, |
-ightlv, descending in the right direction, and j
free from everything that shall in the least de- ;
grec impair the beauty of the situation. Is it i
not as important to have a pleasant, healthful j
locality for the building in whicli the children
and youth of successive generations are to re- !
■ their education ? It is the duty of the
inhabitants of every district to procure a lot
in a convenient and pleasant part of the dis
trict. of sufficient size to have large play grounds
f"r both males and females, which grounds j
-inmld he enclosed by a neat fence, and taste- ,
lully ornamented with trees and shrubbery. In
selecting a location for a school house, refer- ■
us e should be had to the convenience of ob- I
taming pure water ; and if no spring is near, i
a well should be dug and furnished with buck
ets, so that the scholars will not be obliged to 1
gu a great distance to procure drink, or suffer
with thirst, or trouble the neighbors. It is
sufficiently annoying to those residing in the
immediate vicinity uf the school house to hear
the noise, without being troubled by the scholars |
constant ly running to the well to get water— j
perhaps frequently leaving open a gate, or do
; ing more or less injury to the fixtures of the!
: well, or iu some way annoying and perplexing
[ the owner or his family. The place where our
I youth are to spend their days in study ought
I not to be by the road side, or in the angle be
tween two roads, where they must be annoyed
an.l disturbed by the noise and confusion of
w utever may be passing in the streets, where

THE TEACHER'S AS S OCIATION7pui*-
suaut to adjournment, will meet in the Methodist
Church, at Orwell Hill.ou the Bth day of JUNE next, at
10 o'clock. A. M.
The following Resolutions, as unfinished business, will
lie considered :
Resolved, That there ought to be in each township, a
School Officer, whose duty it shall be to inspect Teachers
and visit the School, iu lus respective township, either iu
connection with the County Superintendent, or alone.
Resolved, That the study of Written Arithmetic should
not be commenced by the child until lie is of sufficient
age to fully appreciate and perfectly understand the prin
ciples of the science, and it should always be preceded by
a thorough drilling in Intellectual Arithmetic.
Resolved, That every Teacher should be a subscriber
for, and a constant reader of, some Educational Periodi
cal ; and also it is his duty to attend, if practicable, edu
cational meetings, and in all other ways seek his own im
provement in the subjects to be taught, a. well as the best
and most approved methods of teaching.
Resolved. That we respectfully and most earnestly so
licit the hearty co-operation of all the School Directors of
the County in carrying forward the great work of educa
ting the rising generation.
Resolved, That Teachers should be sufficiently acquain
ted with Physiology, and the laws of health to "be able to
guard with care tiie health of those committed to their
charge.
Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of every teach
er to sustain good order iu school, and adopt such means
as shall secure that important end, even if it become ne
cessary to resort to corporeal punishment.
Mr. COLT proposed the following amendment: —
That order is essential to the success of a School. In
maintaining this corporeal punishment, should be a last

of three tracts of land, containing about 140U
J acres; lqoo 0 f which is heavily timbered with
White I'ine of a choice qnajitv, having on it a
newly erected double STEAM MILL, just'started and cut
ting finely-—capable of sawing 3,000,000 feet yearlv, to
which is attached a LATH MILL, and with power suffi
cient to run a single machine, and pair of Burrs for chop
ping feed, Ac.
lhe land is situated in Overton township, in the centre
of the Coal and Iron region nt Bradford County and on it
have been found large deposits of iron ore of a superior
quality. This property to Lumbering men offers greater
inducements than any other in Xoruliern Pennsylvania
inasmuch as the timber has never been culled out, ami
lying as it does within 21 miles of the Barclay Coal Com
pany Railroad, now in process of construction, and con
necting by said Railroad, with the River and Canal at this
place.
v" There have been opened upon this property three
beds of IRON ORE, of a very superior quality and rich
ness, two of which are ten feet in thickness each, yielding
about 35 to ID per cent, pure metal, and one smaller yield
ing a much greater per cent.; all extending through 900
acres of the property. This ore is easy of access, and can
be procured at a very small expense.
Persons desirous of viewing the premises will call on
the subscriber at this place. A. EDWARDS.
