TEAM:RE--THEIR INFLUENCE AND
ILESPONSIBILITIES.
An Address Delivered by Col; J.A. caddlog,,'
Before the Bradford OottatiTeaeher i ti it.s-
Eociation, at Towanda, rebruarr li t - 11376i,
•
- We live in - the grand Centennial year-
of our nation's history. The booining
cannon*nd pealing bells have proclaimed
to us the joyful tidings of, a national ju-,
bilee. 1 :• • - -
: We rejoice :that a kind•Panvidence has
allowed'ns to•behold this joyous year.. A .
period 'full of 'pleasing reminiscences-of
events Which :;have transpired in the last;
hundred years. ,
Since our,ekistence as a nation, science
and the artis 1 intelligence, improvements
and learning, Lave been 'making gigantic
strides.
The experiment of popular government
has proved tore pre-eminently successful.
Our fathers a hundred year& ago threw
off the yoke of despotism--declared them . -
selves
.free and independent- and main
-Mined their liberty in a seven yeats war
with • the most powerful nation on the
eartii; gave th their people a form of g,ov
eminent which Las been the envy of the
old world: a government 'which has proved'
itself capable Of defending its. people from
enemies abroad or rebellion at home. It
has broken the . fetters of the boridmeu and
let the oppressed gO flee.. under its be
nign influence Millions of freenien are to-, ,
day prosperous end happy. „
This unparalleled prosperity has been
the result of our trust . in God and the in
itelligence of our People., Our fathers
planted the eltnrch and school house side
by side. Ileliginti titl'leltrnitig went hand
in Lad. When the 'stutilt New England
ers first laud tAI in a wilderness, they did
not wait to • bead elegant ',cathedrals or
• ,
costly colleges, but worshipped God and
instructed their youth in buildings made
of logs; and frtim those print i ve school
hotises we have had our Websters and
Lincoln of later days. • - '', - `-' I
When we 'consider the grand { improve
ments in science; iu government and use
ful inventions,- and inquire to whose ,wis
dorri and skill are we indebted for all the
pro;,rsess we have made, we shall all agree
the common School teacher Stands in the
front rank. Ours is pre-eminently a land
of teachers. Our public school 53, - stern---
commencing in New England, Lilt now
spread over all the Middle and Western
States—places a common-s4ool education
within the reach of all. The Eastern - and
Middle States Lave furnished; their full
share of teachers. A large Majority of
our most successful professional and busi
ness men have been teachers i the com
mon schools. ; I .sincerely be ieve that,
there is no better place for titleipline ftir
a young gentleinan or lady than to teach
a district school and board around. In
, this position they hare a Letter opportu-
Inity to study the working of the human
mind—to study character and disposition,
and to goserallictuselves, than in almost
any other, vocation in life., ' •
While the teacher
. is acknowledged to
be YCsPeetallle and valuable, lii.3 responsi
bility is aLsogreat. The. teacher has the
training of the immortal mind—the part
that' thinks, that never dies. chi hoW.
important that this training be ; wisely
done. An old physician while speaking
of the ignorance and nuskilifulucia of his
profession, anti especially of himself, mid
he was almost iafraid to go past. a grave
yard in view 011ie many mistakes he had
made and - errors - he had
.committed.' It
is a fearful thing to trust our health in
the hands of an. unskillful physician; it is
worse still to have the minds, of our child
ren wrongly directed or placed under ha-
Proper'inlinenees.t
. Teachers !• have' a tremendous power
over the minds of the children committed
to their care, and the influence upon their
minds goes fat beyond ibis world, and
will never be fully known here. Who.. ,
would be willing to place his ehild—tho
idol of his honaci--tlie hope of his old age,
under the instruction of an infidel? One
.has well said, "Give me the instruetion'ef
the youth and 11 can control the men Of
the state." i !
In a government by the people it - is o •
theost vital inaportance that the '
be e ducated.' A flee and enlighteded tin
tion can never. be :enslaved. We depertdi
on the'goed principles : and intelligence of
our young men' for the - perpetuity of oar
free institutions. Every man has a voice
not far
our governnient and the day is not far
distant when every woman will have the.
Sarno right. ' It I is very right and proper
that all should take a,part and be well in
formed in all our public' affairs. . '
•
When we. once resign the control of our
politics and political machinery to tboirl - --.
mates of saluony and .bar-room loafers, to
dead rabbits 'mid plukuglies, we shall
soon find ourselves living in a state of an
archy, ii. "4 vigilance committees would
right the wrong byhauging to the near*,
tree those who were ;supposed; to be eye,
mien to the- •puldie, peace, innocent or
guilty. • • - 1 i . - - •

The teachers of our land have now un
der their 'carp arid instrUction, not only
the' future presidents :and bishopi and
judges, and ministers, anti teacheM, bat
!they have'alsO the men and women Of our
nation under their charge; The poWer of
the teacher is' illustrated , by by thereply
of the Irish schoolmaster; when asked
who he w4s, answered, "I :1m the Master
of..this neighbOrhood." "How So l 7 said
the imestioner. " Well, hir,7 said he, " I
am Master . ofl the children; /the children
master their ;mothers,_ and the 'mothers
masterlteir hushandi, 7 .
Probably no, nationality has been more
successful as teachers than the natiie& of
our own country . There is in the charac
ter and style of • the Yankee, his lliquisi
tiveness, his desire to kuow evegthiug
and eferybody, and to ask evcrybody
question; which distinguishes him_ !from
the rest of mankind, and . et he is a suc
cessful 'teacher% An Englishman sjys of
a Yankee, • •
"lie would Mrs the qneen till he Mead a blletert
With his arin record her neck and hie etd felt bat on;
Would address the king by the title of mister;
And ask Men the prtce of the throne be eat o4.•+ '
The common sehooli of our larid are to
day very far in advance of the schools in
n 'land.. The school of Mr. iNniford
§queers, as - Mr. Dickens describes iti can
not be fonnd is America.; I f lnd to our ex
cellent schools must - bp I , anribed ;:very
ranch of our national prosperity; and is
the intelligence of oar citizens we have
the o strength of our government.
Our teachers should receive ample pay
and encouragement. No htuployment or
calling is more '
,• honorable or more useful,
and none more' responsible! And in*view
of your great responsibility,teachers, let
me entreat you, do right. Let your guid
ing star be truth; fear nothing but to do
wrong, Let me give you a grand, h,roic
•
example, taken from the Book of bslts.
Among the Jewish captives carraied away
to Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar select
ed certain ones in whom was no blueish,
but well favored and skillful in all tiwis
dont, and cunning in knowledge, and un
derstauding Science ) and suOt as had abil
ity-in them to stand in flip: King's palace
and whom they might teach the lean:dug
and the tongue:of the Chaldeans..
And Nebuchadnezzar, the King, made
an image , of gold, whose height was three
score cubits, and the breadth thereof six
cubits. lie set it up in the plains of Du
ra. Then Nebuehadnezzar, the king,
sent to gather 'together the princes, and
the governors, and the captains, and the
judges, and the treasurers, and the coun
sellors, and the Sheriffs, and all the rulers
of the provinces, to. come to the dedica-

Wherefore at that'time certain Chaldean

spake and said, 0, King, live forever'

May we learn well the lesson'of carting
for the wklfare of others as well as'our
selves. One who Cares for self only, can
never appreciate the blessings of society,

upon Man. Our ambition should be to

The chifd believes his teacher to be the
embodinient of wisdom, the grand store

There i no stage of human life where
there is so much fair weather; and perpet
ual suusl4e, as in, childhood's happy
days.. If the Saviour of the world.gaid
"suffer lit le children to Come unto me,"
shall we unkind to them, , God bless
the ehildnin; and the teachers who lose
all patianc l e and feel unwilling to forgive
them, shodd repent the Lord's prayer,
"Forgive is our trespasses as we forgive
them wbe ( trespass against us."
Teacher should remember that the er •
rors coirim i tted while teaching children,
may not e sily be corrected. A careless
wad whet once spoken can never be re-
Called, and its influence may go on and on
to eternityl The work of this- life is ear
nest work ; l its influence ceases not with
our probaton, but its vast ettent we may
never knout; and just how far sve must
account fo i e our . influence upon future
generation; tiod only knows. When we
reflect upon this Subject of responsibility,
we find pelpleiities and difficulties in
creasing m i ne and more, and we find our
still unable to see that which eter
nity shall reveal. ' 1
While euga l ged in this profession let us,
be honest,lupright, truthfhl and sincere,
and show by our own example that virtue
is its own reward. The good that' men
do in this 'tt-orld, often goes before them,
and well would - it be if the evil they do
could be buried with' them. If we pox;
secs great advantages to do good, our re;
spoesibiliq wi l lixi. correspondingly great.
The one pnssessing live talents will surely
be required to do tnorethao one to whm°
less is given. Do not let us make the
great mistake of thinking all the respon
sibility rests , upon others, and not on our
selves. Ifisre are responsible for our in
fluence, how very important that every
word and action be right. ..
Let all oar.actions, words and deeds be
characterized by kindness.

will say to cts, "inasmuch as ye have done

believe vemany teachers have regret
ted in afte life; that''tliey dealt harshly
ric e
with their hohrs,. while they always re
member with pleasure the kindness shown
and the haPpiness, sur.Shine and 'gladness
