Declamatiotrby Recitations by Some people, and many, of the School Directors; have complained that there - are many persons licensed to teach by the County Superintendentl%lo are not qual ided - to teach.' Wejhink the peopki Lave a just Cause for complaint. There nay hive been too much lenien cy in the granting of c_ltifitates ; there May have been other influences besides real merit, to cause_the granting- of cer tificates to same ; some certificates to teach may .have been granted without ex amination.; thereemay have been too much endorsing certificates from adjoining States and counties. Whatever the cans , : may be,, there cer tainly-are those in the county' occupying the position of teachers iu our schools, who are not worthy the name of teacher. We do not say that there are many such ; but lye 11.,pe there may be less. How can' it be doneilL -, We arc aware that our system of exam inations are not a true test oC a pet:son's ability to teach ; but it is probably the best we can have:tinder our school system. These examinatiofis should be conduct-. ed fairly, rigidly, reasonably, but firmly. The persons who are not able to pass such an examination should be rejected ; and the County Superintendent should be firm unless convinced, by proper evidence of an error in his judgment, as to fitness and qualification.. There are too many Direc tors who have relations, that are anxious to get into the schools—and iheDireetors are anxious to get them in—and in case they fail at an examination, to ask the Superintendent to change his judgment, and grant so afa so a et:treat°, "that we have hired her, and we aro eery a7q : ions to have her teach, etc."' This way of doing things we think is wrong. Such a course injures not Drily the perton who may teach and is not qualified, but also the scholars ; the school, the school sys tem, and the teachers' profession. The Superintendent's judgment as to qualification and fitness to teach, is far better than the teacher's or the Directors', and the Directors should riot ask The Su perintendent to Change his judgment un less they have very. good reasons t, know that he is in error. When certificates are given only on merit, and. those who teach iu the'county ae required to attend the pub- Hc eXaminations yearly-(unless exempt by reason of higher . grade of certificates), and the schools visited faithfully, thc3 we will hav6 better teachers, higher wages and better schools.

' EDITOR EDUCXTIONAL \ ParanTatENT—: as\ Dear . .. A'ir : You Will Pie accept solu tions to the following probi ms : 1. I have a plat* 421 feet cmg, 24 ins. wide, and 3 inches thick: Required one of the sides.of a cubic biix that\n3ay be wade from it. 2. A 'dm agreod to caw wood hit° 8 pieces that is 4 feet long at 90 • cents Nper cord. 'Row Muchmore should he receive, to saw into pieces of the same lergth; wood that is 8 feet? - - So'.Ution I.—lt will - be; found that if six equal square, pieces ar e cut from a plank or board, and Wilt: up the form of a euhical'box by a fastening at the edges so that one of the opposite edges. of 'each piece shall help to form the outside sur face of the box that the box will be com plete witb the exceptions of two little' cub& {required to-complete. the -corners), whose ditnenaiolcs are the -same as -.the thickness of ths material from. Which the box is made. Hence, since our plank is 8 inches thick, the area of one side of both. 18 square inches, this area taken from the area of plank, leaves the area of the six equal square pieces. • 421 xl2 x24=-.12168 square inches, area of the plank. • 12138-18=-1215% area of six equal squares pieces. 121504-225, area of one of the equal square • pieces.- Square root of 2021=45 inches, one side of one of the equal square ,feces. Now, since the' distance across any one of its sides is 45 inches increased by the thick ness.of the plank (3 inches) one of its sides must be 48 inches (allowis- waste in making. Solution 2.—lt is evident that it will take a certain number of the 8 feet sticks. Hence by cutting one of the 4 feet sticks luta twice, ho has 3. pieces each 11 feet long, and by cutting• one .of the 8 feet kickeinlii flee - times he has six pieces each l- feet long: Now since one of thi 8 feet sticks contains twice as many pieces as one of the 4. fegt .pieces. It is obvious that he would have to cut_np two of. the former (by sawing - into 4 times),as often as one of the latee (bY sawing into five. times) in order to get the same number pieces, whereby In cutting the same num ber of pieces of each (by cutting up whole stick) we find he does It times as much work by sawing a cord of the Bfeet wood as by sawing a cord of the 4 feet wood. Therefore shouldbave 1 of 90; cents more per cord or 22 cents. REquisrms Stic,c,Ess.—'rbe requi sites of a teacher. for success am numer ous, and many are found wanting, and this accounts for the failure of so Many, to secure perfect order and success. Some of the Principal ones are the following First—A teacher on entering a school, should by his appearance and contour of manner, impress the pupils of his superi ority, at the same time gain their admits Lion 'ma - respect. . Second—When a rule is made be should strictly adhere to the verj letter and spir. it of it; and be firm yet; gentle.. •Third—The pupils. should'he made to rely upon themselves, and to advance by their own personal labor. Above all, be obliging and always endeavor to promote in every case in the highest degree, the happiness- of your pupils. You should not be cross, surly and quick-tempered, but rather of a mild disposition. Before any One can govern a school a school, it is necessary for them to be able to govern themselves. Next in order to adVanee and wear the laurels, a teacher should perfectly under stand the:subjeet be is to teach or failure is certain. A text book may aid him, but he cannot teach successfully what he does not understand. Again, a teacher requires natural talent to interest small pupils, for any length of time . ; this most of the young people have, and in order . _to make thorough, active teachers, it should be prOperly cultivated. TEACIIING is an art. Men don't pick up art skill without much close study and patient toil. To teach is. not like pour ing grain into the hopper of a - mill. - To teach is to develop, to train, to make men wiser, better, purer, happier, and the mu sic teacher has much of this work to do. To teach, requires morelhan mereknowl edge affords, more than a mere sequoia. , tance with the subject to be taught. Fie who aims to train the minds and hearts of pupils, ought to know something about the mind and heart of the pupil. The man of great knowledge is not nec essarily qualified to teach because of hie learining, no more than he may be gifted to speak in public. To possess or to ae-- quire knowledge is one thing, to . *part it to others is quite another. • Yet few will retogniie this fact.---Brainard's .Afusieal No ni7ely. THE convention of School Directory held May 7th, elected G. W. Ryan as County-Snperintemlent-for, the ensuing three years, beginning June 3d. Mr. Ryan has had twenty years experience in the school room, and for the past five years has been Principal of the Towanda Graded pchool and made it a success. Re is a thorough and energetic teacher, and is well pasted in all the improved 'meth ods of teaching, a good disciplinarian, and a reader, of human nature. We bespeak for him success in his now position, and we feel confident that the educational' interest will be looked after, so long as he may hold the office of Coun ty Superintendent.

Also Resolved, that on account of the reduction made in our borough debt during the past year, an'tl the further reduction which we propose to make the present year. there will be no necessity' for a two per cent. tax next year, and we hereby pledge ourselves -to be in favor of a lower, rate of tax for the 'fiscal year . commencing April 1, 1879, and we believe that a majority of the thinking people and tax-payers of the borough will agree that the best interests of the borough' will be served by allowing tie power to regulate any rate of taxation to remain in thetands of our own citizens .rather titan be confined by such an act of Legislature mentioned above.
