EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENTS
, The Educational Department in - this
paper-has been successfully maintained
for about live year's. It bad its origin by
one: of the present editors haitding - a reso
lution to the Secretary of the Teachers' .
Association nt the session held at Towan
da,'in February, 1815, to the effect that
a column in one of the county Papers be
-procured for educational matters, and
that a committee of live - be appointed to
take charge of the sante. When the fea
sibility of the resolution was discussed
some of the members of the Association
- predicted that it could not be maintained,
for the reason that it had been tried and
failecL - There have been a number of
changes in the committee of Associate
Edit - ors since the column was inserted in
this.pnper, but with a few exceptions the
educational matter:bas appeared weekly
ever since. The editors labored, in wri
ing mid supplying matter for. a long
time, and felt that their labors were not
fully appreciated by the - teachers. About
this time more interest seemed to be
manifested,_ and the teachers felt encour
aged=and continued in their labor of
Soon • its beneficial results began
to become known and felt, and continued
until within less than a. year there seem
ed to be a demand for an Educational De
- partment in the Bradford •Republieva,
which is also edited by 'a committee ap
pointd. by the Teachers' Association, and
lets been maintained since. Since the es-
tablislonent of the List named depa
rent the demand has gtown, and the re
sult was, that at the last Teachers' Coun
t.g Institute, steps were taken for the
- publishing of a paper devoted to educa
tion, which has resulted in the publica
'tion of the Saiwol .I(;itrilai. Thus, we no
tice, what was alleged would be a failure,
has proved to be the father of an another
educational department and journal of
eclUeation. We are glad to find interest
e - frgliin education in the c.ountytorecord
-the history and progress of the educational
departments and journals—as springing
from 4-lie establishment of this lepart
uwnt in the ItErouTER. The people of
Bradford County cannot fail to be profit
ed by such Means of educational news—
and literature.
IMPARTING AND TEACHING
The power of imparting to .others is
p4:sessed in ditnrent legrees, by differ
ent individuals. Many persons make this
P ewer-or faculty one-of the most import
_ ant requisites in a saccessful teacher.
Children of course must become ac
quainted with facts. Facts may be im
parted, told or communicated. That
there is
,at.great ence in the poweis
• of different persims to impart facts to pri- •
Diary pupils in au interesting and pleas
ant way, we will admit. For more ad
vanc,..d pupils; this faculty of imparting
not required.; After children have ac
quil'ed a sufficient number of facts, they
are in a position to help themselves and
to learn, or ate / quaint themselves with
fa .t. Pupils ninst learn by their corn ef
forts in order to strengthen their minds,
and all that a teacher should do is to
guide and direct the.pupil's inquiry, and
see that be gets the r prnper understanding
Of the things he studies add learns.
Oitt of the fault's of many teachers is,
Wit they tell too u, urh. They are too
toady ii. assist the pupil when obstacles
1;1 ffi a) s present themselves. The
tcachers whO make this mistake labor
under the iMpressiou that they are
keolvledge, while the fact is they
ace demiving the pupils of mental effort
th e only true method of developing mind.
The only true method of Teaching is to
• teach in such a tray as to cause the-pupils
eaecsti,ale, to think, and to act for
a.:res. To determine the best methods . of
' 'lust i action the teacher should ask himself
tbe , question, hoe, and in what way
c -ti, 1 pro.e. ht this so' ect so as to cause my
i it• pits t inrestif, , ate, think, stud!, and act
firclo this requires a knowledge of the
f.ietilties id . the mind. and how to c4ll out
faculties. 'The [catcher who had
that knowledge and tad to use it practi
e diy, will succeed in the true art cif teach
ing, and teach the pupils habits of study,
investigation and thinking, which will en
able tihem to educate themselves.
DISTRICT INSTITUTES
District Institutes are more frequent
this winter throughout the county than
heretofore. In s . otne townships the teach
ers are allowed their time by_ the direr
tors, while in others the teachers main
tain their district institutes, and teach
twenty-two days for a month.• This is a
very credible showing fur the ' teachers of
the county. It shows that the, majority
Of the teachers in the county are interest
ed in their work, and desire to improve.
The only waY in which teachers 'can con
vince the people that district institutes
are of any value to them, is to have the
teacle.rs take an intertst and make their
meetings useful by not only . practical dis
c but practical and school room
To carry out this idea, we would
EOM
s;tzgest that. a class in the several branch
es 01 study be invited to 'attend, and that
teachers be appointed to take charge oc.the
tit this manner we think the teach
•: s may hate a practical example of eon
,:oeting a class recitation. In this way
the teacher can shoe hoe he conducts a
1 , citation. and need not tell boo , he does
Besides being a lxluelit to the teach
ers, it would-be profitable for the pupils.
If any should try this practical idea of
conducting the District Institutes, 'we de
sire to hear front them through these col-
DIME
iNsYVITTES.—The Teachers County In
stitute of Luzern COunty, was held last
week. The attendance W:lB . large, but the
ecrcises consisted mostly, of lectures and
addres-es, by professors and principals of
normal-schools, etc., wbo are generally
fond of airing their knowledge upon such
occasions, and make it pleasant and
agri cable for the teachers, and induce as
many of them to attend their schools as
possible. This formerly was the way of
conducting institutes in Bradford County
-until the present Superintendent took
charge, and we are pleased with his Meth
od of. rconifiug the teachers to do the
work, and not only be 'passive recipients.
Tut number of scholars attending
sehoid in Bradford County during the
school year of 1878, were as follows :
Males. : females, 7,117 ; total, 15,-
101. *The average percentage of attend
ance was eighty, and the average cost per
scholar was eighty-three cents per month.
ATHENS township nas twenty schools,
and has more scht.lars attending school
than any 'other township or borough in
the county. Towanda Borough has : but
twenty-two scholars less than Athens
township . , and employs but nine teachers.

EXHIBITIOI4 OF SCHOLARS' WORK.
I,`
A. J. Day s, Superintendent of Clarion
Comity, in is report of 18, says :
"A County Educational, Headquarters
.has been established, and II room in the
court hange r seemed for exhibition and
,safe keeping of scholars' work."
Clarion County has about half the ter
ritory of Bradford, add has tiro hundred
and twenty schools, ; and Bradford
has four hundred and seven-and yet the
County Commissioners'of Clarion County
furnish a room in the court house for ez
hibition and safe keeping of scholars'
work. If a-county with half the number
of schools can furnish a room for such a
purpose, why cannot Bradford County,
which hal; twice the territory and number .
of schools?
That a room in which may be placed
scholars' work, and be exhibited and
safely kept would be another step in the
scale of progress in Our schools we firmly
believe.
The educational display at the County
Fair in October last, was excellent for
the first attempt, and a suitable room
should be provided, in which the various
exhibits could be placed and safely kept.
We think this a subject the next Teach..
ors'. Association should discuss, and if
deemed advisable to .appoint a committee
to interview the County Commissioner's:,
and if possible to procure a room for this
purpose.
MALE TEACHERS
Male teachers have been in greater de
mand throught theteounty this fall than
for a number of years past. As a rule,
we think our schoo l s would be better if
more male teachers were employed. The
trouble is that wages are so low, that the
young man who is qualified to teach, can
obtain better wagei at most,,any kind of
employment. In this county there are
few who receive sufficient salary to in
duce them to follow teaching as'a profes
sion. .In the Southeastern counties of
the. State the male teachers are paid from
VO to per month in the rural dis
tricts. We have known a teacher to
teach 'in the same country school for from
five to ten years, in one of those counties;
this is but one of the many instances
'where teachers were paid fair wages, and
:retained in the same position for years—
even in a country behool.
1 We think if the sante policy were pur
sued by the people of our county, the
schools w.ild improveinore rapidly than
they do. -
ThaenEns general admit the necessi
ty, and the importance of teaching pupils
to compose. 'Some persons assert that if
a person knows or understands - a thing.
he can tell it. We are not ready to ad
mit this statement as true, it may be in
part. It is one thing l to have the idea,
and quite another to be able to express
that idea, so that others may understand
it. To put those ideas on papet.; and to
express them, in.conversation or to speak
them, calls into action different powers of
mind. We can see a greater necessity
for being . bble to write or compose, that
to be able .to speakin, public. Few of the
many men in the wold are ever called
upon to speak in public—while there is
never a man, even the humblest laborer,
who is not compelled sometimes, to wi ite
a letter, which necessitates an expression
of thought by -writing them. This can
wily be accomplished by practice, and
knowing something about the art of cow-.
position, and this can be learned in no
more suitable place than in the common
schools.
Trtor Borough pays the highest.-rate of
sehrol tax in the county—thirteen mills
—the average in the county being about
six mills

RANSOM COTTAGE RANGE,
With the Expansion Broiling Chamber,
SMYTH'S PATENT DUPLEX GRATE.
%Via; or without Low Closet, Reservoiror Ornamental Elevated sfielt.
The Greatest Combination of Valuable improvements Ever Presented
•
•
After the flattering experience of the past year. having' had a very large and extended sale, we
find that the Tilt RANson COTTAGE is universally conceded to be the most desirable Range of Its
class In the market. Its general features are the same as in the celebrated hansom Range. which has
for years 1 con considered the finest Range made. It contains the 11latent Expanalooltrolltna•
Chamber. which Is 11111VprsallS , acknowledged to be the milt' suceesSful and practical broiiiag attach
ment in use, It Is also furnished with Smyth's Patent Duple% Grate. Tub celebrated
Grate Is extremelpslmple In its construction.' it has now been in active use for more than five years.
and In vieirof: the universally successful 'experience t f Its operation and durability during that time.
as well as.t he highly satisfactory results obtained by us in our own thorough trial of Its quit It les, we have
no hesitation In pronouncing It the only complete and successful arrangement for removing clinkers
and refuse front the tire-box instantaneously. thereuelly and cleanly, while the degiee of combustion
obtained has never. in our opinion. lwen equaled with any other style of crate.
THE ItAxsost Taut , : is a fliorooghly first-class Range In all Its portloris and appoltitnienp,
while the prior is ..rtrimely torn. It Is so constructed that it can be changed - from a Low Closet tit a
Single oval Ratite by merely lifting the 'upper part of the Range from the Low Closet and placing It
upon a set ti Z ornamented legs.' All sizes can also be furnished with the Ornamental Elevated Shelf.
The imp , I;mlet1 .Ith Pan Is taken out at the end of the Rangelnstead of the front—a much more con.
aenicut anti cleanly arrangement—and the cafes , loos AVarsulng Closet extends underneath the whole
Range. The Rot Water Reservoir is heated entirely front the bottom; and is of a larger rapacity Itian
will be found on any other Range of this chtSS. All the - minor details 'ln the construction of this
Range have received the closest attention. t has highly burnished ends, nirkle.piated knobs of a new
and beaatiful pattern, tackle-plated panels, n ekle-plated ToWel Ricks, land the mounting and fittings
is in .the best style. _

Hints Foe the Work of the Month.
Hozo do Yoii Stand?-one cannot
lay out his work to advantage, with
out knowing precisely how he stands
with regard ta his business. The be
ginning of the year is the appropiate
time for ascertaining it. Frequently
an account of business is kept fora
month or two, and then neglected. if
it is only to encourage habits of reg=
c
rularity and pe verance, it will be
time well spent ta i keep an account,
not.only of mone _affairs, bnt a record
of events for *rig:lay. This tends
to beget promPtness and system in
every - detail of farm work,' and in
business affairs, that, foresight and
economy which are everywhere the
prime essentials of success.
lieep a Record of the events of
each day's work, and farm-life. One
of the boys or girls should do this.
A book will be , heeded, 'ruled with
plain, lines, on which to make the
entries i put , dow,n the condition of
the weather, the work done, and by
whom ; pure:bases and 'isles made,
indeed, anything thA may be needed
for future reference, or that should
be 'entered in, the account book,
I=
and . Plaids,

wbieh,ill thus' become a-valuable
and interesting record. of the farm.
Mako an. Inventory down
erery thing you, possess, from, the
farm itself, to the small tools and
utensilsnd value each item fairly.
Enter tliTinoney on hand,- , -and also
every debt owed.. This is the first
in beginning an account. The.prop
erty oWned, and money ; .Ork hand,
will be on side Of the aceount, and
the debts on the other. The balatite
will show hoW the farmer stands.
Underclothing,
This account
,will be the .4,2count.of
Stork.
Purchases and Saks, are entered ;
in the daily record, and from that
into a purchase and. sale took; ex
cept the cash trarisactions;,which ao
into the cash, book.
The Cash 800k...Z.-Every- payment
and receipt of money for purchases,
sales, or for wages, should be entered
in the. cash book; .this should be
done every evening, and before it is
forgotten ; all thee entries are trans
lerred to a ledger to the proper ac
counts. The work is very simple
and easy, and there are farmer's girls
who keel) all their father's accounts
in' the most accurate manner.
Hiring Men.:—A farmer should
try to make work ,fora, hired man,
or several if possible. Hill? can find
profitable .Work for them, he is mak
ing money for himself. A few Months
wages spent in' procuring or making
manure, draining. clearing oil-Stone„
getting out stumps, or, otherwise
snaking the' farm more productive,
will be well invested.
..162 , p the rStables (Van.; clear out
the manure; every - Morning; and
serape or paid of all 'filth from the
animals. The'stable should be made
so warm; that the manure will not
. freeze ) at night: a lower temperature
will elther demand a larger amount
of food, or the anitnals will fall off :in
condition.
Pile the .1/o/iure in square compact
heaps : ;and if" it is not frozen when
thrown out, it will heat and ferment
in, the pile; but if once frozen, it will
be; likely to remain sia during all thP,
cold weather. • .
"Cut the Litter.-1f the litter is cut
into lengths : tor even smaller,
it,'will hold more-moisture, will make
better and finer manure, will
keep the animals cleaner than long
litter. The gain in .the quality of
the manure, in one year,lbe saving
of time in the handling, and increas:•,
ed effectiveness of it„ will pay good
interest. on the cost of • a.wiud-mill,'
and:a fodder - cutter, to do the cut-,
ting:. But if the stormy and disa
greeahle, days are chosen to cut tip
straw' for this purpose, an abundant
supply can be made. A broad axe
can be purchased for iv 2 50, and with
this and a . : block, a shief of ,straw
may be cut into 3-inch chaff, in half
a minute. Two persons, one to hold
the chaff on the block or Plank. and
:the other to usel-he axe, would soon
cut up a ton of strair. Where hard
woOd saw4ust, dry swamp muck, or
pine straw Lean t be procured, these
make excellent litter and manure..

A'ND
the fodder has Proved a: saving or
one-third to tine-halt. Where but 10
head of stock are fed, if the feed of
one-third.. or one-half can be
saved, it is simply a large increase
of.the resources of th'e farm, and is
sufficient to pay the cost of a good
cutter and the time expended in Cut
ting.
Watering Siock.,--The stipply of
watering in winter is a source of
trouble. lee )gathers about the
troughs and other drinking places.;
pipes freeze and burst, or become
eiroake4, and many other inconVen
ienebs occur. These may he avoided
by methodical management. Piave
regular Watering periods, twice a
the troughs " from the
pumps or cisterns, and drive.the eat--
tle to them and see that they drink."
When all are supplWd, empty the,
troughs, and : either cover them ori
turn them over. Have no flowing
water in the yarrls 7 tir waste and

cold drink will reduce the
milk from the cowri •;0 - .per cent or
more. , S , ' . •
.1 The jlill7-rt , om or.. Spring-hoiitel--=,
Frozen cream will not. make good
butter. To prevent milk from freez
ing, have a small hove in the dairy,
and in the spring-house make a
covered box over the sprint*. Where
a run from a spring can be brought
in pipes, a Cooley creamery canbe
riser! ( - wing the winter with great
advantage; keeping an, even tem
perature'equal to that in the sum
mer -when ice is used. • • -
Horw.g.—When not at work • the
horses need but little grain,-if suffi
cient hay is given. Ilut as lay is
generally l dusty, and .'long • hay is
wasted in the•eating; we find it ecorl
omical to cut and wet • the! . fodder,
and give 3 quarts daily of bran or
around feed. The bay saved will
pay for the meal, and the increased
value of the manure will pay for .the
labor. The foist feed prevents in
' jun; ti!). the urges from breathing
I the dust of di , y' hay." • -
Mare's in Foal.:—A roomy loose
box is the safest .and 'most comfort
able place for a brood Mare. A colt
may be raised for the Same Coat as a
cow, and when three years - old may
belworth four cows. 'There there is
a/brisk demand for. good work. horses
and a large export business is grow=,
ir t ig!up, so that the keeping of mares
will beeorhe a source of income. But
'not only-the right kind be kept, and
the right kind of, coltS raised,. but
the mares must have. • proper stable
accommodations. When :11. mare. is•
idle a large portion, of the timeiexer
cise is needed, and this she canget
in a loose box. •
o , o..4—Young colts ehould.beivell
fed and eared for the first winter;
provide a warm stall for them, with
plenty of litter, and give them a good
brushing down once every - day. A
quart - of oats, daily, will be needed,
and some bright, clean, sweet hay. -
Cut-feed is not suitable kir young
colts, whose digestion should not be .
overtaxed by food packed solidly in
the stomach; - feed light and frequent:
ly.
Work Oxen.—Oxen that work on
frezen roads, although there is no
ice, should be' shod.. ''The rough,
hard surface wears down the hoofs
very Past, and causes inflammation of
the interior; the trouble may not
become apparent until later", when
the mischief is dillleult to repair. If
the feet are. tender and hot, and
,slight sameness: is perceived, exam
hie : the *hoof,. between the, .elairs;
cleanse, the fee; and. apply ' remedies,
• •
if needed. •
Cows.—. Milking cows will be bene.
fited by miring their food with warm
water,. if . this can 'tie done without
too much trouble. A family cow ,
may be treated to a warm 'mess -in
the morning without difficulty, and- .
it will increase the udlkliprceptibly.
Cut tile hay and pourapailful of hot
water over it; rnik the 'mess so that
the hay is alt Wetted, 'and . - add the
meal; mix again, and feed while
warm. In a dairy of 20' cows, the
extra milk will pay for, the labor
needed. If the food can be ~made
more digestible, and _by giving' it
warm,:the waste of animal heat will
be'avoided; and the same effect will
result as from an increase of food.
Thus the, study of the ' prineiples of _
feeding• may be made a ~source- _ of.
profit by the economy- which may be
Praeticed through it.. The card and
brush should be in freipient' use dur
ing the winter, and--if ne‘tessary
coarse cloth and warm--wate"r may be
.used. - to preserve cleanliness.. if
filth is. permitted to gather on -the
skirt iL is difficult to remove' at this
season
•
Youilg Calves wilt thrive better. if
kept in a shed together and well led.
"The shed may be littered liberally,
and need not be cleaned out until
the spring, ok until the manure has
become a foot or more deep.. Calves
may thus - lhecome good manure
makers, but it will be 'uccessary to
teed them well. Uran ancl oats, with.
a little'corn, will ibe th 6 best food
for
-them. Give one pint a day for
those-under a year, and a quart or
two daily for yearlings. Costiveness
in cold-weather should be carefully
guarded against, arid. if neeeSsary,
half a pint of raw linseed-oil; or a
pintf linseed-Meal, should be givea
with the food.as a remedyi.
She;.p.—A. flock of sheep May be
made 'the most profitable of _farm
stock,'botli - in return . of . nionev and
of manure. By feedin!T a small flock
well; through the 'winter, their .value_
may be easily doubled.. But the
feeding should be ;liberal' and the
care imremitting. .The chief requis
ities, for SULICSi with sheep
prof-ioe abundant good food and
pure well water; to feed and water
regularly ; to provide fresh pure air c
and to avoidldampness. When feed
ing sheep for market, it is well to
trythe . weights every second week,
and note-the increase. The effects of
the feeding can thus be , readily.' :IS

uf.ble j is an-unfailing sign of appoaeli

then be removed to a separate pen
and kept quiet, but visited it least
every thee hours and the last-thing
at night. It is rarely. that any help .
is needed, exeept - in. very cold
weather, to wrap a- pieze of soft
