J. 4.I:DREW WILT, Wier;
TUElditrerence between the degree. of
success in thitrue art of teaching, may
be illustrated' in the following : A young
man, intelligent, robust, healthy and
,muscular, is ambitious to become a black
smith, and hastens to the shop at the vil
lage, and by inquiry learns the name and
uses of all the tools used in a blacksmith
shoP. i lle visits the shop , frequently to
observe the workmen, and often is,invit-
ed tb give some assistance in blowing,
etriking, of tearing the worn-out shoes
from the horses feet. The young tirtan
observing that the inlay, blacksmith - . is
thriving and prosperous, conceives the
idea that he can carry on the blacksmith-
ic4 , business, and makes arrangements to
work for the village smith for thirteen
weeks, - . after which time he is sure he can
-f
excel his master in making horse-shoe
nails, and tempering the metal of the
axes properly, that may be brought to be
" ap set," ctc;, etc..
• The Thirteen weeks are spent in more,
blowing; striking, 'and such preliminary
work generally 4One by apprentices,
_which can be done by any one having the
muscular strength. While the master is
_ temporarily absent for a few hours: the
_apprentice "rune the shop," and has sue
deeded in 'doing a few "jobs" for cus
'tomers. A few times of temporary L ab-
Sence of.the master in this way has had
- the eilt+et of heightening his estimation of
- his own abilities and practical knowledge
of his trade, and at the end of his thir
teen weeks persuades his father to pur
chase a set of tools, and rents a shop at
• the cross-roads in which his ambitious
' and self-conceited son may test his knowl
edge of blacksmithitig.
The son takes possession and goes to
work. The father's friends seek to en
courage the son by patronizing him, but
the work is not entirely satisfactory. The
welds are not properly united, or else his
iron has been burned and soon gives way.
The shoes on the horses cause - them to
" intei fere," and the axes "upset" are
so "soft as not even to . stand
, phojiping
hard wood. Vet this young blacksmith
charges the same prices that ;his master
did for the same work, and his family and
friends insist.that he is a good black
_ smith, aud i will give him their patronage
and recomMend others to do so:
The truth is, however, that the young
man is but a " bungler " athis trade, and
only after many years of bungling will he
learn to do his work properly, by knowing
how to temper his metal and make his .
welds, etc.—and all this for the want of
the proper preparation. This illustration
is nbt beautiful in itself, but it forcibly
illustrates the postion of many teachers
in the schools of this country, and our
tsvn county.
The "bunglers" at teaching are not
_feu', but , .an j. How many are now in
our schools ,ivho have had thirteen weeks
prePtxration in a graded school, college,
or normal school, and who did not think
at; that time they could teach quite as
well as their filastei.' How Many have
had { their conceit heightened by being
•
placed in charge of a claSs, while the mas
ter was out? How many think because
they have attended school, college, etc.,
at such. and such a place, and been able
to secure a certificate from the. Superin- 1
ten. lent, are fit to 'teach school? How
many of those have been put in chargO-of
settings at the cross-roads because the
fond parent was a member of the "School
Boat d ? How many have made bungling
work of teachifigond the parents and re
bdions knew it, and yet sustained them
and recommended them as good , teachers?
how many failures have Occurred in
Bradford County, because the teacher did
. not understand the temper of the immor
:tal metal he was to hammer and mould
useful and honorable purposes? How
many teachers have failed to 'set aright
the shoe of industry, mental growth, no
-I.le aldrations,'and habits of study and
investigation? how many kare felled for
,raht proper preparation for the work
eV . field, lag ?
We think it is of infinitely more im
portance that.the teacher should under
stand thoroughly the thing operated upon
=the mind- 7 than the blacksmith to
understand the temper of the metal, etc.
' WHEN ALL Is Wu°:ca.—When your
school becomes noisy, all the scholars,
become restless, inattentive, and dull, we.
imve found it a good-plan to have some
-general exercise in which all join. Un
der such cireumstances wo require
all td lay aside) books' and slates, stand,
and join in some appropriate school song.
In sucli cases we have found it beneficial
- to urge all to open their mouths and
make a Ooise, although, not a harmoni
ous one in order to accomplish the effect
aimed a!t ; to exercise their lungs, and
-- throw off some of the pent-up feeling and
uneasiness.. If the room-is not properly
ventilated, sonic windows and doors
should be opened during the 'singing.
This general ekereise, should be varied.
-The teacher may vary it by requiring the
school to give the elementary sounds in
concert, or-writing on the board, senten
ces containing some principle or truth
worth remembering, or a stanza of poet
ry, and require the pupils to stand and
recite it in concert. The effect of this is
,to divert the minds of the pupils, cause
harmOny of feeling, and throw off that
uneasy and dull feeling. An exercise of
this kind'will also help the teacher quite
as much as the scholars. •
It is frequently the case, that when all
seems to go wrong in the school-room,
that the teachers are as much to blame as
the scholars—sometimes more. There
should be a harmony of feeling between
teacher and pupil—and general exercise
of this kind we find is one of the best
\ • . reinedieS.
How many teachers have used, or in
any way were beuefitted by the course of
study reonrnended by the committee ap.
pointeer that parpose by the Teachers'
A hNl , Ciat. ion ? WiAbink the report of the
committee, as adopted by the Association,
contained recommendations worthy the
trial of the teachers of the county. We
think there should be a more uniform
course of study, ,and gradation through
out the county than there has been. We
hope that the present County Superin
tcndent, who we believe was one of. the
committee to reccommend•tha course, is
doing all he can to establish a unifilirm
course of study so far as practical in the
county.
TllEedum4ionpl matter in the Republi:.
can is usually the same as that which ap
pears in the .School Journal issued the
preceding ItiOnday. •
Tr.AcnEns need more tact in conduct
ing recitations, better discipline, and
me° general information.
EitraiNS P'Oli TakCIII3O • COXPOUTION.
—Firstßequire all the pupils to lay
aside the usual work, with elate and petr ,
cil in hand. (Those who cannot write
have them print).
Sebond—Write the subjects on the
blackboard where all can see, and at first
be careful to glee easy subjects to write
about; such as The Horse, School, The
Day, etc.
Thiid—Give the scholars it brief out-
line of one of the subjects. Mention
height, siz,s, color, legs,: tail, feet, use,
etc., etc. ,
Fourth.:=-TeU your nimbus you want
to see how many words each one can
write about one of the subjects, on_ the
blackboard; in live minutes.
,
' 'Fifth—Have all begin at a given signal :I; ::::
after giving a , moment to decide which : 2 5 10 11
one of the subjects they will choose, and •4i :::
permit them to write five minutes by the ;12 '
watch. and be sure and have all cease at
the signal. . •
Sixth—pave each pupil count the num
berolti of w written, and as the nutulmy
is annou ee ;d, have one of the pupils place
it on the ard, and after this announce
the number of words averaged by each
one
Seventh—Require the pupils to erase'
what they have written, bat keep a re
cord of the average number of words
written by each. This will close the final
general exercise. Teacher must be care
ful and not call it composition, but call it
.a general exercise.
Eighth—Have - this exercise for about
twice a week. This exercise should be
continued for about two weeks, when the
teacher sball pass around and eXam-
ine the slates• of three or four of the
more bold 'ones. Thit3 number should be
increased at each exercise, until finally
the teacher will rTpiire all the pupils to
leave their slateso that:the teacher can
examine thensi •
AN independent school district has been
decreed and established from a portion of
Barclay and Leroy townships, to _be
known as Carbon Run. The district in
cludds the Carbon nn schoolin Barclay,
and it'ine school in Leroy,. The time for
iolding the election of Directors is fixed
or February 24, IgBo. The Directors of
that district can now properly grade 'the
.pupils in said district and thereby in
crease the.educational advantages for the
children of that district.
THE programme for the next meeting
of the Teachers' Association, to be held
at Ulster, February 13th and 14th, has
been published by the President, I. S.
Crawford. Rev. William Taylor; of To•
wanda, is the lecturer for the evening of
the 13th. Di. Taylor is an eloquent
speaker, and - not of the class who "says
words" that mean nothing. If those who
are fortunate enough to hear him; and do
not hear something worth hearing and re
membering, we will miss our guess..
THE able articles from "School Direc
tor," from Sayre, and "T i eaahers'
Friend," which have appeared in,this De
partment should be read by. all. Both
sides of the question seem to be fairly
and forcibly stated, and we believe good
only can result' from such a discus
sion if properly conducted. We are 'pleas
ed to notice, howeviri, that both writers
heartily' approve the work our wor i thy
County Superintendent is doing for teach
ers aridsichools in the county.
ROBERT KEENE, President of , ':the
School Board of North Towanda town-
ship, defends the action of the School
Board in closing the school houses for:re
ligious meetings On week day evenings.
Mr. Keene states that the school houses
are open to the public for religions meet
ings on the Sabbath as they always have
been heretofore, and gives the reason for
closing the school Douses for meetings
during the week. .
WILL the Teachers' Association take
some step towards providing a place for
keeping and exhibiting scholars' work?
We lidpo this will be brought up at the
next meeting.
WE are informed by the County Super
intendent, dig with but one or 'two ex
ceptions, there - has been no trouble with
teacliells and scholars in the county this
winter. •
IN the Itrorth American Review for Feb
ruary the . first article is by Cardinal MAN
NINO, and treats of the relations of the
Roman Catholic Church to modern socie
ty. The eminent author does not under
take to discuss the broad question of the
relations of the Church to the State in
general—whether the one le
.subordinate
to tlui otl'er—but simply essays to deter
mine "what can be and whit ought to
be the relations between the Church in
the nineteenth century and the political
society of the world in the nineteenth
century." Cardinal MANNING is perhaps
the most uncompromising champion of
Papal prerogative in the whole English
speaking world, and this candid and able
exposition of the principles actuating the
politico-ecclesiastical practice of . Rome
will be read with profit both by her
friends and by her opponents. Ex-Sena
tor HowE contributes a pungent article
entitled "The Third Term." He turns
to ridicule the fears that have been ex
pressed by sundry organs of popular opin
ion, lest by electing General GRANT to a
third term of office our republican insti- ,
tutions should be overturned, and "the
empire" established. The article is es-
sentially an effort to show that in the
" Springer Resolution," adopted by the
House of Representatives at Washington
in 1875, which denounced as dangerous to
our free institutions any departure from
the precedent, sent by WASHINGTON when
he declined a third term in the Presileq
cy, are compAsed "a grave indictment of
the Federal Constitution, a gross libel
upon its framers, a base counterfeit upon
our political history, and a wanton in
sult to our common sense." Rear-Admi
ral DANIEL ,AEMEN makes a very effective
reply to M. de LESSEM' article on the
American Interoceanic Canal. The ad
vantages of a canal with locks over a ca
nal a nireau are pointed
. out, and the
French - engineer's objections to a locked
canal shown to be futile. GEORGE An;
GUSTUS SALA contributes an entertaining
Article entitled "Now and Then in Amer ,
Ica," "now," being this present year of
grace, and " then," 186, the third year
of our Civil War. " The Emancipation
Proclamation," by JAS AB C. WELLING,
is a calm, judicial review of the crowning
act of President laxcoLe's administra
tion. Tee considerations which forced
Mr. LuieOLN to issue that memorable
proclamation as a measure of poldcal ex
pediency are convincingly set forth. The
author furthermore learnedly discusses
-the legal effect of the proclamation, its
constitutionality, etc. -In his opinion the
validity of the edict was not derived from
law or constitution : the act "moved
above law in the plane of statecraft :" it
was a coup etat, and its hustifleatian is
to be found in its end, which was the sa
/us popuii. The book notices of this num
ber of the Review are from the pen Of M.
W. HAZELTINE.
The Review is for sale by bookieUers
and newsdealeis generally. j - •

READ THE FOLLOWING 'LETTER
WHICH SAYS
Messrs. llowarth at IFlallarcl
Gentlemen: I take pleasure In recommending
Dr. German'aCough and Consumption Cure. as I
have suffered with a severe cough since last May.
Have used all kinds of Cough Mixtures. but could
get no relief. Mornings after getting up from rn,
bed I would bo so choked up that 1 could hardly'
breathe ; also frequently vomiting severely. A
friend directed me to use Dr. German's Cough
and Consumption Cure. I did so, with but little
faith at the time, but after using I changed my
mind, and I raft conscientiously say, after taking
only one bottle. I did not only obtain relief but am
not troubled with .that fullness In the morning.
My cough has stopped, and I can obtain a good
night's sleep—something not enjoyed by -me for
weeks before. Will close by saying if this letter
will be of any benefit to you, you may have my
consent to make it public. 'Yours very respect
fully, .1. E. DOOSII AMER,

- Hints For the Work of the Month.
The last Month of Winter has ta- -
gan for the Northern farmer, while
in the Southern . States spring has
alreadyopeneU; 'whatever. is to be
44one in the way of, preparation can
lie no longer delayed. A late begin
ni*, makes a late season, and to re=
gairi 'time Jost now, may be found
-impossible hereafter. A. farmer who
is belfindhand is a prey toraccidents
and misfortunes of the season, and
often find his labor increased,, and
the, results lessened by reason of his.
ownlcarelessness. On the other hand _
the' forward man gets the benefit or
every advantage, and many.dissulvan-
Loges of season are safely passed
over, because he is ahead of them..
Hauling out s ifanure.—While the
ground is bard or covered with snow,
the nianure• heaps can be hauled 'to
the fields with the least trouble.
Those who have profited . by our
hints for the past few, months,will
have the manure in_good conition
for hauling out now; others will
have it lying around loose and frozen,
and consequently' useless for some
time yet: '
The Finest Manure• is' made , by
turning the heap over' twice. To do
this, begin at each end of the pile,
and throw off , - the. manure to a dier
tance'of three feet, building up the
new heaps, and placing •the coarsest
manure in the center.• Then pro
ceed. until two heaps are made.
These•will soon heat, and ,a month
or so afterwards the proceis maybe
reversed and two heaps made into
one again.
Cabbages.—Every farmer should
raise cabbages, both early and late:
For early kinds, the sgeds should be
sown in a hot-bed this inonth, unless
plants started last fall have been kept
through the winter in cold-frames.
It is not a waste of, manure to use it
for a hot-bed, as it will be all the
better for application in the garden
after it has served this 'purpose.
Spring Wheat.—ln many localities
spring wheat will succeed if it is
sown early. Open . weather this
month, may permit plowing and
sowing, although the under - "soil is
still frozen. A cold spell may freele
-the ground, or cover it with snow,
but the seed is safe, the work is done;
and one may rest contented, while
others are grumbling.
Plowing should be done, only when
the soil will crumble loosely;when
the plow smears the upturnd sur
face, the soil will be injured. While
earliness and forehandeness-ire coin
mendable, one should make" haste
with caution.
Look Ahead I—A farmer should
always think *in advance of his Work.
The whole plan must be laid out in
the head, before the hands are put to
it. There is time yet left for think
ing over what should be done in the
next two or _three busy months.
Grass in the North is not made as
available as it might. An opinion
prevails that grass lands can .not be
kept in permanently good condition.
Yet there are in many localities plots
' and tracts of grass that are very old
and show no signs of failure. What
has been done once in this , way can
be done again., A permanent pasture
or meadow isti infaluable. Why can
not we try to make and keep them?
This is a subject worthy the
_most
careful study. '
Why can we not Grow Larger
Crops?—There are localities 'Where
it may pay to grow small crops
cheaply, where one may skin the,
land for a few years and leave it, ,
just as in some places cattle are,or
have been killed for their hides and
the carcases left to decay. BUt•every
year these localities , are growing ,
more and more distant - in the West,
and in time land will be too valuable
to be used iri so wasteful a manner.
In central and eastern localities the
tuture prosperity of the farmers will
depend upon the growth of larger
crops by the expenditure of more
labor on the land. To reach this
end will be a work of time, but it
will never be 'reached unless a begin
ning is made, and there was never a
more propitious time to begin than
now.
:13. STEVENS
Values are Jnereasing.—Every
relic of the long continued depres
sion—the seven loin years=now
happily gone by, is passing away.
Prices are advancing, and every
purchased thing costs considerably
more than a year ago. The farmer
who values his land and stock may
justly put up the fipres from _Ti to
50 per cent. His income .must be
made to increase in. proportion, and
this must be done to a great extent
by increasing in every possible way
the productive value , of his . property.
Better Stock Must be Kept.—The
right stock too must be', kept in the
right place. The choice . and man
agement of animals require an ac
curate knowledge which must come
from outside of his own farm prac
tice. A farmer can not test these
things for himself and run the risk
of losses that would bOuinous to
him.' All this has been done and re
corded in books and agricultural
papers, together with much other
indispensable information.
Keep 'the GOOd Calves.—As the
cows come in, the best of the heifers
may be selected - for raising. There
can be no better way to improve the
stock ofeows than to use , a good bull
and keep the best calves, well feed
ing and cawing for them until ma
tured. After these' become caws-a
selection can :wain be made for
breeding, and only the 'best ret4ined.
In a few years the Value of . itiry
cows may be doubled by the careful
practice of selections. :
Feeding and Care of Stock.-0n
this subject there is nothing to add
to the hints given last month.
Vermin.—The poultry ' house, if
closely examined, may be, found to
swarm with lide. A gray mealy
powder may be seen on the roosts,
in crevices, and in 'the corners and
joints of the building. Take kcom
mon squirt can filled with kerosene
Oil and inject the oil in every crevice
about the house. Repeat this pro.
cess if it is necessary, and very soon
the fowls will be free from these
in
sect pests.
`Young Chickens.—Earlychickens
which can be reared easily, i f proper
care is given, may be kept in a glass
covered coop protected at night by
covering with straw.. If severe cold
is foiled, heat a couple of bricks hot
in the oveni wrap them in a, piece of
carpet, and put them in the coop. A
large can or jug of hot water is also
a very good warmer. •
Fowls will need th,e best food if
eggs are desired. Wheat steeped-in
boiling water, and given hot, and
hot' baked' potatoes crushed with a
'masher, are as good' food as can be:
given; water e lightly, warmed with a
small ;quantity of Sulphate of Iron-
(copperas) in it will be useful. All. -
spice mixed with cornmeal mush Is
an excellent condiment,- and by no
means costly. Liudanum-in 10 drop
doses has been found a remedy - for
the cholera x or poultry Intestinal • •
fever, which-las destroyed 'so many
flocks.
Geese and Ducks.—Tbese are pro,.
Stable 'birds in some cases, and may
be kept where there 1s cheap graz
ing. Half a dozen geese will soon
fill a g4od sized feather•lna or a pair
of pillows. The white ducks are per-.
hops equally useful 'in this way.
Both - of _these will now begin to la);
but must be closely watched and
kept up at nights or they will drop
their eggs abroad. _The eggs should
be gathered and kept in a cool bath
not cold place until they are wanted
for setting:
OBCIIARD IitIBSERY,
Pruning.—Large branches may be ,
cut away from fruit trees in mild
weather. A saw should be used for
this ; and the cut smoothedfind
covered with paint or melted , graft
ing wax.- The objects in pruidne an
old orchard, are to remove unhesith'y
branches, and to thin the tops of the
trees, opening them for the access of
sunlight - and air. In'ease trees have
grown one-sided, they- may often be
brought into good shape again by -
judicious pruning.
Tree Plantng.=-The work of select
ing the trees . for planting should be -
done'at once, that the nurserymen
may have the orders in hand, and fill
them,promptly. Do not buy of tree
peddlers, unless absolutely known to
represent.a reputable, nursery : Most
of them are frauds, and their state
ment of the value of new and high
sounding 'varieties are fiction.. A •
list of some of the best varieties of
the various • fruits, was. given in' the
January number. -Should the trees be
frozen when they arrive, place them
inn cool place to thaw slowly.
.7'he CankerfWorm.--:-On mild days,
the canker-worms may make their ap.
pea,,tance, and the females, which are
wingless and 'always crawl, must be
prevented from ascending the trees
and depositing their eggs. - The de
vides for effecting this arennmerous;
they generally consist in placing f
some barrier around the trunk which
the insects can-not pass" Some have
gutters of oil,
'cannot
smooth surfaces
which they cannot tiavel. The
simplest, and effective as any, is
stout' paper.sm&ired with-tar or print;
er's . ink. Blowing dust and dead- in
sects, will bridge them over in time,
and to-be effective, they Must be look
ed to every few days, and renewed
as
needed.
The Tent Caterpillar's Eggs-, are
deposited in rings on the small twigs
of apple and other trees, near their
ends, and can be readily seen on
dull -days; they should be cut- off;
taking the end of the twig, and burn
ed, thus saving a much larger amount
of work later _in_ the season. .
THE FRUIT. GARDEN;
That which has been said of.select..
ing trees, in the " Orchard ar.d Nur:"
sere," holds .equally- good in small
fruits of the " Fruit Garden." Select
and order at once. Do hot. rely.for
a supply upon new•and- not . thorough
ly tested varieties. It is well to
"-take en trial;" Some . of the Most
promising sorts, and if they 'succeed,
there will be - a basis .for future in
crease by_ propagation. If indulged
in judiciously this exile imenting
'with the " new things," i on 'of the,
chief pleaSures of the fruit gal en. '•
Pruning that may haVe been left
undone last fall, can be attended. to
now. Prune the , Grape-vines on the
first milk day, and long before the
buds swell. The Currant and Goose
berry bushes ,need to have last year's
arowths• shortened, and the old stems
e 'thinned out,before theystart to grow.
Give an application of manure or
ashes between the rows.
Strawberries may be planted in
localities where the frost is out of
the ground, as may also be
. done
with -
Blackt4rries anti. Raspberries, both ,
of.which start to
,grow very_early,
and are better if planted in the fail.—

Household Hints
FLANNEL CAKES.—One quart of
flour, two eggs, one and one-half
pints of boiled (used coid), two
teaspoonfuls of salt, three tablespoon.'
fuls of yeast (added after the other
ingredients have been mixed)' Beat
and' . set to rise till morning ;
bake on - a griddle.
SICK HEAraquE.This distressing
_complaint can generally be relieved
by soaking the feet in very warm
'water, in which a spoonful of pow
dered mustard has been stirred. Soak
as long as possible, or till the water
gets cool; it draws the blood from
the head.
Cur FRUIT CAKE.—One cup of
butter, two : cups raisins seeded and
chopped - fine, four cups flour, two
cups brown smear, one cup sour
cream, three eggs well beaten, one
teaspoonful of soda, one of clOver,
four of cinnamon. Bake slowly. and
serve hot or cold, with sauce. -
INDIAN LOAF.—Take one pint of
sour milk; one-half pint of sweet
milk, one teacupful of molasses, one
-half teacupful of butter, two tea
spoonfuls of saleratus, one large tea
spoonful of salt; thrdkeggs, one pint
of wheat flour, one quart of yellow
Indian meal; bake in a deep tin ba
sln, in an oven of same beat
-as for
cake for one - and a half -hours.
' To BROIL STEAK.—The freat thing
in broiling steak is to cut it thick
Cut it fully an• inch in — thiekness. - -
'Then beat it with a rolling-pin. This
Softens the fibers but does not break
them or take the juice out. The use
of a knife to beat the steak is not ad
isabie, as it is liable to cut the fibres
.and cause the juice of the steak to
,run out. The hotter the fire is the
better. Niver.cook a steak longer
than seven minutes. After broiling
it a little butter and pepper and salt
should to put over it to mike the
gravy, but no water used.
LEMON JELLY.—Take , a paper of
gelatine and let it soak in a pint of
cold-water for one hour at least, but
the longer it is souked the better.
Then add to ira quart of boiling Ica
ter, tlie juice of two or three lemons,
and a pint and a half of sugar. Set',
it away without cooking at all, in a
form to cool,. and an excellent article
of jelly will be! the result—
OATMEAL TEA FOB INVALIDS.-
This is a good drink in -sickness, as
it 'both nourishes and refreshes.' Put
thiee tablespoonfuls of meal into 'a
quart jug, with a small pinch of salt.
Mix with a little cold water, and then
fill up with boiling water, , stirring
briskly the while. Let it stand to
settle, and use either lot or cold.
This also makes a capital drink for
the harvest or hayfield, and the less
salt .put into it the better.
