Association, at its raretiv in Berra*, Friday, Februa.ry 14, lts73, Mu. Enrroa : At your request, and in response to the solicitations of the County • Superintendent and many other members of the Teacher's' As sqciation, who were present at our late meeting in Herrick, I transmit you a transcript of notes, taken in long-band of Mr. LANDoN's address on the occasion. It real:y seems too bad to tame down and mutilate a speech in this way, but many of the ideas are original, and _even in their logical nakedness cloguent, and hence . . worthy of Perpetuation by tho press I give yen a mere epaciation of the address, but your Aadeis are suffi ciently acquaintea fivith Mr. L.'s spefehes, to imagine the proper rhe torical bloom. After a few preliminary remarks not of public intek.esl, the lecturer t . . proceeded substantndly as.follOws : rn the' arrangement- Of creation, everything valtiable. is - made the re suit of effort, We (cannot expect the harvest withnutit4 antecedent toil.

Lff , rt bears the relation, to whatever is desirable, of antecedent to consequent. An an cient author has said, " The Gods have great things for the laborious;" and the master of eloquence being asked what were t her three ' principal elements - of , oratory, replied : " Ac tion ! Action I Acrios !" I put the question differently. and ask what are the 'elements: of great success? Effotlf ! t:trort ! Eirorr ! • He who will net work mast fail. The biogra phy of the lazy man is embraced in .a single line: Living--despised; dead— forgotten. The grandeit achievement on earth is'the Complete culture and development of human nature. Tills accomplished, every thing else fol lows. Show me an ignorant, unedu cated people, and I will point you to a nation ,without, railroads or tele graphs with no _outcropping. evi dences, of progress. . On the other band point me to a people educated and intelligent, and I will show you a nation in the enjoyment of all the material results of civilization. Young friends, aspire high, and then weigh the mountains and strain the seas 'to accomplish your objects. Culture should not be confined to any class or, classes of the community. All grades, conditions and colors have a right to, and should be eiincat:ol. The lower the individual, the taici need of these elevating influences. In Pennsylvania or in South Carolina, wherever we find= the ignorant and degraded, there is our field of labor. This is the broad, idea upon which rests the fabric of our government: the education of the people, the secu rity'of the nation. Human scultnre is noinzcornruandin,g more attention than in anv other' age of the world. Greater eff Its are being made to' make it thorough and universal. The• best minds of onr:times are enlisted in its cause, and the facilities for its general diffusion are great and mul tiplied. What is the grand object of human culture ? Not the mere end of getting a living with less labor, but the elevation of every individnid to complete manhood or womanhood. It is a great thing to be a true man or , woman. • It is'-the coronet of all human aspiration:. Hence we would have nen ,Cultivated simply because they .are men. We should make our information as extensive as possible, .and gather it froth all sources, re , teembering that all we learn or can I learn, may some day come into ser vice. There is nothing that man is' called npotii to do, but that may be made the means of - education. The carpenter may edgcate hirusell by of ' forts to make each item Of work more perfect than its predecessor ; the farmer by improving his. farm and stock each year;'the inusician,hy touching more perfectly the kevslof the magic instrument till the• soul throbs in „unison with its harmony ; the teacher, by studying, more assid-. riou;:ly the plastic "mind under his -care, and leading them each thy one step nearer the attainment of perfe;,t character. .The man who aims to ex -1 cel can educate himself laying stone wall or ',tilling Pine stumps. The lady who aspires to cif tune, can con summate her wishes by waking good batter or bread, or by economy in house keeping. All the skill you c in acquire in yonr work, all the mental culture you may attain, will. s9me lime come into reqnisition. ' Like an, odd quarter, each item of knowledgtt may serve to make mental change Zvi h in after, years. Nothing that we learn is superfluous, but all know ledigti,should be acquired with a vete to the proper influence upon character I make this declaration : The atter character of every individual is to a very great extent the result of early surroundings. This may be modified, it is true, by his own free volition and efforts, but rad cal changes sel dom occur.- Take the infant.. Sup ply its physical wants, and care for it, in all other respects, but never let it bear the sound of the human voice, and when that child attains the age of twenty-one, what will it be? Sim.' • •. OS DZIMICIIMON /MX i3IIT QIIASSZA. . TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY. PA., MARCH ;, 1873. ply an idiot—so many pounds of flesh and blood-no more intelligent than whale-blubber. Take the mune child and teach it ; open to it- th , door to intelligence and moral eni ture, and abut out from it all evil communications ' and wben it attabs its majority, what will it be? The embodiment of intelligence and good ness. Let the c.bild be brought up under Catholic influences, and -be will almost inyarieebly cling to the Church o Rome ;, let him be sur rounded by . the institutions, and trained by Protestant .direction, and he will seldom wander from his early impressions; let him be brought tip in the bar-room, and if he, don't ewe ar he will be a mental stint:only. Our subject this evening is culture. We shall treat it under two heads--z Child-Culture and Self-Culture. -• The mathematical student has this problem fur solwion : Given the two sides and included angle of a triangle to find the other side and angles. An application of the proper ge.omet iical principles will instro him the correct rcsnit. So the parent. has given him 10 pounds of flesh and blood, cartilage and brain to find the fully developed wan or woman. If there is any problem in the cotepass of- human .ic:4ponsibility that de mands skill, it is this. Out of this tangled skein, of stu‘ceptibilitics. we are called upon to build up a man or woman sytometirical in mind, body and character. We, may Oink it dif ficult to build the ship, bat what is that compared to educating a • child to a .proper , manhood or wo;uanhood? Hoed shall we aceoluplish this cotu- pies and difficult _work ? First, we must study careful y the child's dis position. No two children have ex actly the same temperament.' Hence, the same treatment will not knit all We st-rionsly misapprehend physiol-. ogy and pathology &we suppose so. With some a frown, *ith others a smile, is the power to incite the proper effort. Kindness gives wings to feet to fly up the shinteg; hilt of duty.. We must adapt ourselves to all natures, surrounding children at home with gracious and congenial influences. Kindness moriii suision, is the key to success in home govern ment. Scolded and puui,hed at home by father and mother, we cannot ex pect the child to attain a symmetri cal o.rowth. You might as well ex pect flowers to gro.v in the sands of Sahara, or auiong the icebergs of the Poles. pointing out error,' we should direct in the right way. Never whip or punish children fur making mistakes., If your little child is led into - telling a lie, don't make him a consummate liar by the use of a hickory. When we suspect chil- dren's veracity, and threaten, we are nt•iug the very means to teach them *to . prevaricate Don't' charge chil dren with falsehood. ; They make blunders and distort facts, but don't know what lying is, or how to he, until you teach, them. Surround them at home with the gracious influ..neti; of_ trash, let them grow up under the mother's eve and lore, and they will he flowers pure enough to adorn the breast of Deity. When they attain the age of twenty-one and are ieady to enter upon the duties of life, they will start wore half 'way to Heayen. Take the opposite course at home, and it is a marvel if at twenty , the child does not look at you throngh the grates. Pot your cbtldren to school under a teacher with heart and brain,, and let the associations and surroundings be beautiful; pore, and gentle. It is no wonder that our children sometimes "raise thunder." ,The appointments of our school rooms are not calculated to interest them. The school-room, like the theatre, should be made attractive. Don't whip and• cudgel for trivial . l causes. but weed out bad habits by gentle, tneunrcot ' A 4 rememberirw that t, a drop of mses will catch ° more; flies than a quart of vinegar." Don't whip and punish for laziness. When Non do so, yon wrap a cold sheet. around your child's naked soul. Put ,into your children's hands proper arid• interesting reading. The r secret of suttees is to awaken interest—not only in home . goverritneat but - in school government. Parents can tell the - successful school from the nn successful, without visiting it.. They merely have to feel the mental pulse of their children when they come home from school at night. If rim child's mental pulse beats strong and quick, yOur nimbi is a success ; if it is sluggish and weak, your school is a fizzle. Don't punish the child for negligemw,. but show him the benefits and necessity of carefulness. Illustrate - day by day by your oan example before the child the charac teristies you wish him to posse-s. The child's clia_racter is nothing but the impress 0,1 your own. As Son can see your own picture reflected in the camera, so you can -beh6ld your own charaeter reflected in that of the-child. Teach your child by your example, industry, vetacity, magnanimity, self-control, justice, and respect for humanity though poor and degraded, .and 'they will find a lodgment in his heart and blossom forth in, his actions. In our moral instructions of tilt young, we should no longer commit the , egregious blunder of impressing upon them the idea that to be virtu= ous or religious, man must - make sacri fices.. This is . the general tenor of nine sermons out of ten, and yit it radically shortsighted and wrong. The child'sliould never think that it must make a great sacrifice to be good, when the facts are that, man only wakes sacrifices when he cm braces - wicfcstiness and sin. - "The ways of wisiThin are ways of pleasant ries% and all her paths are - peace." Don't, tell my child that to' be good. he must give up and put away. all pleasant associations, and live with stiff neck and Puritanical visage, but - tell him to read the NeW Testament and study its characters; and believe, and go on rejoicing from- tba very moment. It a mau is going on in error, let him mid-x . ollnd that by so doing he m rites sticrife s; In', 'when he turns from sin let bun know that ,it is matter of happiness and 'Voicing —not for to-morrow and a distant futUrity • only, but for to-day—that everiliour of his life. will be r cher and fuller of enjoytnent • Chilticato the 0.%i1d, with - some ref- erence to his after• pnrsnitu in life. an.l let those pursuits be determined his own choice and adaptation._ I don't like the custom of fixing for the child his pursuit by his parent 'or guardian. It is right for the pa rent to study dispositionn, and advise, Ina not arbitrarily to Beale for the child his pursuit without regard to his particular adaptations. 'Let him follow his own individual bias, and then let the parent assist_ him in the prosecution of his work to the extent of his ability, and as far as is consist. ent with the child's own good. Im press qpon the youth continuously that hie first great duty in Ii o is to take care of inmself, and not be a pensioner upon' any one. This is Child-Culture, and now for Self-Cul- ture. 'But first allow me to advert to twp side questions which are" at present occupying public attention. The first of these is, Shall education be made compulsory ? If answered in the affirmative, the' qummiou re- curs, How 81301 it be effected? Shall we compel attendance at school tui- der pains and . penalties? know of ono feasible plan, and that is to connect education • with Abe tight towotel A lnw of this kind, however, must be made prospective, and not retrosilective!

Mae it an additional requisite for voting " on papers,'!--es you require it of the young wan of native birth who cotes «ou irge." The most effi cient means to make education Com- pulsory is for the State-to make am ple provibions ,for better and more attractive sch,ools. litt the -school tax bp ruade . unifurui throughout the State . , and let provision be made for the prior. As statistics prove that education is to a very limited extent identified with crime; encourage its diffusion amotig those classes sadict- ed to crime, remembering that " an ounce of preven , tivaii worth a pound Of cure." :Wake education compute• sory, but do it by moral suasion, by moral appliances, by 'the uttractiye tress of yohr-schools; rather than by pains and penal les. The se . coml - of these questions is, Shall religion be taught in the common school? Ma- joruies should never crush out the conscientious convictions, of tuinori- ies. Religious couviction• should be respected, wbuteier they are; but on the other baud, minorities- must never claim to rule majorities. The application of these priuciples must drive Sectarianism at least frt?m the Connuen sell( ot, but it does not drive out the elettieutury principle of all true religiou--:morality.. Teach ve racity, habor, uignanimity; love, the graud principles of a true manhood. Teach no sectarianism. The Devil never cuts a wider swath than when ,he wages the lytttle of sectarian ex- c:usiveness. Our r:ght to he a Cath olic or Protestant is our right uninfluenced either by civil co ercion or reward. Ve should not quarrel among onrs;elves, else while 'we wrangle the Covenaut Angel fly out of the window. Whether irr rt ad the Bible in school or not, mat ters not,—we should' have 'its spirit there. But to self-culture. °There nre up wards of fonr•htmdred teachers in t zis county, upon whom new de volves the duty; of cultivating and de ieloping tbeinF:elv-s.
