CONSTABLES' OATHS.
`We are pleased with the recent charge of
Judge Jones to the Constabulatory fdrce of
Berks county, published in the Reading pa
pers. He exposes the shameful dereliction
of duty on the part of Constables gener
ally, now-a-days, and' applies the rod with
an unsparing band. We hope his example
will be Idllowed in this County, and else-
where throughout the State, till we have
home radical change effected in the adminis
tration of these important. officers—for they
are highly important—and if their duties were
.properly discharged, the result would be an
evident improvement in the morals and gen-.
eral habits of the community. Whatever
tends to vitiate the sotemnity and responsi T
bility attached to the taking of an ; Oath;
Istrikes.art the eery corner-stone of public jus
tice and morality. Constables' oaths, it is
but too true, are fast becoming a by"4corrr--
often rendered apparently without any re
sponsibility whatever, and our Court-officers
would do much toward preserving the gene
ral purity of our institutions inviolate, by
commencing a reform among the COOstables,
•
in this respect.
But to the charge—not having room for it
entire, we only append its most important
features. The Judge, having summoned all
the lately-elected Con'stables of the County
before the Court, stated that he was induced
to address them, from a number of charges
preferred against them, from various sources,
for obvious neglect of - duty. In explanation.
of which he remarked :
"The complaints. that reach us, seem all to take
one or the other of these directions--that in making
your 'returns - to this Court you do not take any
_pains to inform yourselves of the existence of dis
' orderly hoieek,.,ping. of the sale of liquor by less
measure than a quart,. of breaches of the peace at
election-, and of the 'condition of the public roads.
That these 4.3flences of selling liquor unlawfully,
and of disorderly housekeeping, are perpetrated ,to
an alarming extent, we have no doubt—,yet looking
at your sworn returns we find nothing to indicate
that there is anything wrong, either upon or below
the surthw of society. The Constables swear tit
every Term that there is no disorderly liourekeep- I
int , . no gambling, no drunkenness, no tippling houses
—in short that the laws arc inn-t wriquilonsly obey- -
ed, in their several districts. And vet it would
seem that there is nu uian, ceoinaii or child who
does not knoll, more of these things than do the
Con-table', whose duty it is particularly to look
after them. ron.tahlet' oaths 'Tun re:trying to
Court, are like eir,toin Howie oath T, .?:rolPing to
Le a jestihrouerh th, whole rountr, side. It is.not
flattering to the constabulary that the: people have
cause to regard their sworn returns in this con
telnptitoti point of view. And if there is not
amendment in this particular, the very scorn and
contempt of the people for the morals of the orlicers
will Milder MP hohltiev of the off, eIS a badge of
iwfamy and "
lie thinks this deplorable laxity in the duty
of Constables - does not result.from any actual
dishonesty, but because they neglect or re
fuse to comprehend the true province of
their office. Constables, he thought it had
been justly" observed, saw with two pair of
eyes, official and natural. But it is very far
from an honest and faithful discharge of duty,
for Constables to swear that drunkenness,
gambling or disorderly housekeeping does
not exist in their respective districts, simply
-because they du not know of it by their own
-direct, persodal knowledge. Sue h offenders
do not purposely expose themselves before
the eyes of officers. lie adds, in this con:
nection,—
" Tin>: Constable, who is credibly informed that
l• such offiMees are committed—or who from com
mon general rumor teeeivesAiat information—or
who nom his own observation Las reason to ,as
pect a howle or person, and who takes no further
action, wading till he can sec offence with his own
eyes, swear,. adsely when lie eome , to the- liar and
deposes that ho does not know of any cii i .ine e s of
the kind haring. teen commuted within his district.
It was not be technical perjury, in the eye of the
law—but let him consider well whin it may tie in
the eye of (;od. Ile ha, heard or has seen enough
to put hint upon Inquiry. and it is his bounden duly
to inquire into the character of every person or
Mouse in his distriet which bears an evil name and
lame. lie mu,t not tduit his eyes and ears to filets,
which ring through the whole eonimunity. and be
e-an:4 of that voluntary and 'convenient blindnes s
mid deafness. come here and swear that he kno
of no - such facts. - -
Ifistructitig, them to be.on the lookout\at
-c 'Military . parades, Vendues, and other like
•
gatherings where liquor is often illegally sold
and other disorders, likely to occur, he re
marks:
" You arere<ponsd.le for the g-ood order and penee
of yOur distrkets, and we will hold yon to that re
rpons,ibil ity by all the wenn!, in our power. -
- On the.subject of Taverns the charge con
tinues,— -
" You will also observe how the Taverns in your
districts are kept—for a Tavern, though licensed to
*sell liquor, may do it in such a way as to become a
disorderly house. If you ob, , erve, idle, drunken.
diFsolute people about a Tavern—e,peetuly on-Sun
day—and they fregnent the house habitually, or are
sera liv;you frequently—indeed if a Tavern ha. , the
common reputation of being idle resort of such psr
,sms. You will report the fact to ibis Court. A well
ordered Tavern is a great conven ienee to the public,
but one which i' of that ammeter, is a nuisance,
which should be abated. Look then info the Tuv
erns--and look with flat' eves of men resolved to
do their duty." _
• ,
After calling attention to several other
topics we cannot now notice, this able charge
cOnclUdes in the following- forcible language :
" YOu uct under-the double sanction of Religion
and of the Law, and when :you tail, in the cor'rect
discliar,te of duty, yon incur the penalties of vailat
ing,.thesc obligations. The slow hand of hit
man justice maynever vindicate your breaches of
the human law, but for your broken oaths there
will come a day of reckoning sO sure as that God,
whom you have called to witness them, lives to
punish their violation. "-Your race:, if rightly ad
ministered, may make every one of you a public
benefactor. :You can do more positive good to the
cortimfmity, by an active, vv,torous, cousciemious
ibiSeharge of youvotileial duties, than any other class
of ctlicers whattoever. If you will be 91 the Melt
and will but do your dimes, the law has invested
you with inaplc powers to break up the -haunts of
vice and crime,
which are established in every di•
rection;and which are poisoning ; the morals of SO
riety. Again we would exhort you to be bold and
fearless. The miscreants, whom you will hap; t o
encounter, wilt doubtless rave a fearful outcry—but
regard them not. The Court will stand by you—
and every dectint . and liMie.finan in the community,
an d they , are yet, thank God, a vast majority, will
. stand bv you. 'The American people love to see
their viificers, of whatever grade, triiin the Presi
dent down, aislrMr the respon , i6ilitiet of their
'.otfire.t. You hare taken the office,—takethe-respon
mbilitics. In doing so, you will derive a . strength
frOm your own conscience and from:the lipprolia
tion of the people, which will enable you'ito over
cotne all opposition to your -discharge of duty."
fa" TIM BEE Cotfcrlr Press good Lo:
adoco authority—says:
" The public works are in the handy of a set of
bilgands, who - steal and rob the people to the amount
of millions per mum.",
Most of the Locofoco papers in the State
are oppostog a plan to take the Pulic Works
out of the hands of this 4 f-set of brigands,
who stcal • and rob the people, to the amount
of in - filial:Hi per annum." Put this and that
together, and honest men will see how far
Locofoco politicians can,be safely trusted.

NORMAL SCHOOLS 113 NEW YORE.
Ma. EDITOR :—ln this discustsion, reference has,
in one case been made, to the New York State
Normal School, as atfonling a triumphant argument
in favor ot such an institution. facts will
sustain that rekrence, and the accompanying dic
tum as to the results of that school, I leave your
readers to judge. - I will only endeavor at this time,
to show how that institution is regarded at home„
by referring to the course pursued - in that State
with regard to Normal School education', to the
opinions of her teachers and other public men, and
to facts which go to-show the actual result of the
State Normal School. •
I have before me, the report of the Comatirrts
OF THE NEW YOU& STATE TEACUERs' ASSOCIA;
T 1077, "On the Edneational Policy of the State of
New York," presented at their anima/ meeting in
Auburn, in August s 1845; a report embodying a
mass of facts not elsewhere aceessible. Up to that
time the State Normal School had been in opera
tion for about three years, and under the stimulus
of a munificent State patronage, had attained a posi
tion that'afforded ample ground for a fair judgment
as to its merits. From this report, which I shall
follow somewhat closely, I have selected and ar
ranged the following facts, which I present to your
,readers, as well worthy of their consideration:
Iu January, 1931. the New York State Conven
tion of Teachers and Friends of Education, a large
and respectable body assembled at' Utica,. and the
'second of the kind convened in that State, adaPted
unanimously as the Sense of the convention, a re
port recommending - the organization of depart
ments for eduCating teachers in the several acade
mies iu the State.
_ _
_ .
In 1833, Mr. Flagg, the State Superintendent
brought the subject of academical Normal Schad
departments before the ,In one of his
reports he uses, the following language :—" What
more ready or practical plan ran be offered - than to
convert these numerous academies, equal in Itten.
//ft to the countses , in the State, auto seminaries
fur trainin. , teachers. (The italicising is my own
throughout). - There is already invested in real es
tate, buildings, libraries and philosophical appara
tus, an amount of more than 5100,000 in incorpo
rated academies, which' are subject to the visitation
of the Regents of the 'University. The Regents
are desirous lifitt it should be so, and the instruc
tors of the academies are not only ' but able
to discharge the duty, in the premises. They are
generally persons of good talents, of experience in
the business of teaching, and they are the'very per-
I sons from ichose ranks the professors of a State
i nit:tut:on, (meaning a Normal School) mould be
selected, it one was established."
In 1835, Gen. Di; who succeeded Mr. Flagg,
took similar ground. In a report on the education
of School Teachers, he says It may not l,e im
proper to remark, that the question of creating se
parate seminaries for the education of teachers, has
been repeatedly brought before the Legislature, but
after a full examination, it has been deemed more
advantageous to engraft upon the existing acade
mies, depart 1711'71i 3 of instruction for this purpose.
This may now be considered the settled policy of
the State—and it will, therefore, be necessary only
to inquire in what manner it can best be carried out
to its results."

The Hon. John C. Spencer, who succeeded (;en.
Dix, was'emphatically of the same opinion. Ha
ving been empowered by the Legislature, to send
two gentlemen to visit eight academies, in which
such Normal t.....:(d1001n had been established, he was
induced by their representation to urge the wider
extension of the system. In one of his reports he
uses the-following decided language :—', Normal
Schools, which are so strongly urged by some,
must after all be essentially like these departinnits,
and the academiti in which they are established,
There must be a board of managers or trustees,
teachers, a building, books and apparatus. These
are already furnished by the existing academies;
tad there cart be no intrinsic defect in them which
should prevent their being nude as useful as any
Normal Schools. The change of name will• not
change the real nature of the institution. The sum
of money which would be requisite to purchase
ground, erect buildings /or our Normal School
and fit them for the purpose, would enable at least
ten academies to otatiztata similar schools in buil
dings already prepared, and under managers alrea
dy Organized. The Sriperintendent does not mean
to underrate those schools, nor to depreciate the
benevolent motives of those who recommend them.
He acknowledges, and, indeed, earnestly urges, the
inestimable value and absolute uecessity of institu
tions, in which our youth may be prepared for the
business of teaching. But he would use the means
we already /rave at hand for the purpose, without
incurring what seems to hint the needless e.rpense
of providing others of a similar character. lie
would respectfully recommend the extension of the
public patronage to all the academies in the State,
to enable theta to establish teachers' departments,
and, ui those counties where there are no acatle
i lea. the establishment of Normal Schools." •
The report of the State Association before ore
contains n full endorsement of these views. It says
We fraitkly assert, that we are opposed to the ex
tension of the Normal Si-hiool system through the
State, by the erection and endowment of distinct
and separate estahlishorents for edttratitqr teaeli
ers. The history of our educational poliey already
given sustains Os. The history of the Slate No --
Mu Nelson!, during three years' trial, we believe
will susiain HA. "
Here, then; so far as distinguished authority, or
wide spread opinion among the friends of educa
tion in the State of New York goes, we have
enough to satisfy any candid mind as to the views
entertained in that State with regard to the State
Normal School system. And it may be proper to
add, that, but for the presence in the convention of
IS4B, of those immediately tinder the influence of
the State Normal 'School, the expression of the
views of the association convened, would have
been doubly severe in opposition to that institution.
We will now turn our attention to the history of
the educational policy adVocated in the above pas
'sages As early as 1830 teachers' departments Were
organized in three or more academies. The favor
shown to the plan by the convention of 1831, and
by the public generally, stimulated many others to
organize similar departments. In 1835. through
the elliuts of Mr. F logg, the requisite laws were
passed for the-especial establishment of such Nor
mal School Departments, in eight academies, one
in each Senatorial District. $4OO were appropria
ted annually to each, and a small sum given for the
purchase of books and apparatus. Other acade
mies followed and established similar departinents
for themselves. Subsequently through the influence
of Mr. Spencer, the Legislature adopted measures
Or the establishment of teachers' departments in
eight more. Up to this period, and, indeed, tip to
the year 1842, the educational policy of the State,
bail been one, and that decidedly of Acadentieat
Normal School Departments.
Let us now look at the etforts made by the nea
demies tinder the wholesome SiiMU:IIS of this sys
tem. Aside from the sixteen academies especially
selected by the State, the great majority of the oth
ers, organized Normal School Departments, at their
own expense., Many enlarged their buildings, in
creased the number of their teachers,and added front
$lOO to $5OO to their annual expenses. The Call.
ondaigua Academy expended about $l,OOO in en
larging its buildings, and increasing its furniture
and • apparatus • besides employing nn additional
teacher, and adding about SSW to its annual ex
penses. The St. Lawrence Academy erected' ad
ditional buildings and procured additional appara
tus, at an expense of $5,000, besides employing
two additional teachers, at a salary of $6OO each
annually. Indeed it is difficult to represent in fig- .
urns the real amount of etlhrt put forth. but that
which has been exhibited is sufficient to etance the
potential influence of dm systena Which I have ad
vocated.
But what were the results? With reference to
these, it IS b u t just to say that these' results were
materially lessened by the stringent requisitions Irif
the State Superintendent, with reference to the ad
mission of the pupils. Notwithstanding this, and'
notwithstanding the emlrorrassments attending the
first organization, during a period of eight years,
3,369 pupils were reported as having received in
struction in -these Normal School Departments, at
an expense to the State of only $28,800, exclusive
of the small outfit furnished the academies. In
18.13, 681" pupils received instruction in.these de
partments, at an expense to the State of $4,800, or
only $7 a year for each pupil. It is estimated that
in the 120 academies in the State of New York at
that time, sonar of which furnished more teachers
than the institutions selected by the State, net less
than 2,000 young men and women were annually
in training for teachers, from 1839 to 18-13• incl
usive, at a yearly expense to the State of only $l,-
800, a stith but 'little over that paid by the State
Normal School, in one year; for tht single item
of mileage!-
So much for the working of the Normal School
Department system. We now turn to the working
of the antagonist scheme of a State Normal School.
lu 1813, Col. Young, the successor of Mr. Spencer,
began to urge measures for a change of the educa
tional policy of the State. lie first urged the plan
of establishing four large. schools in different sec
tions of the State, with more liberal endowments,
giving academies properly furnished with buildingsi
and apparatus, the opportunq of competing for the
appointment. The competition was, however, so
great, that lie afterwards abandoned the project, and
advocated the establishment of a State Normal
School. This project was finally carried, the State
giving the institution an outfit of $9,000, and a
yearly appropriation of 810,000. Since that time
the institution has continued in operation as a State
favorite, and up to the time of the report before,
we had giVen at least three years of "results,"
front which just conclusions may be drawn.
According to the 'report of the Normal School,
up to November, 1817, it had completed six whole
terms, or three years. The total number of gradu
ates for that period reported, was 25.1, of whom
only 222 were even believed to be employed in
teaching district schools. Of these there port Of
the State Teachers Association remarks "We have
every reason to believe that a large number suppos
ed, or reported to be teaching in District Schools,
ale engaged in other and entirely distinct Ewen-
potions some as professional men, ' others, .and
those a large body as hook Agents, and one or two'
either on the way to, or preparing for California,' in
search of a metal more attractive than is to be
prixaned by the District School 'reachers •in this
State." Of the whole number of pupils taught du
ring the• those years, 283* did not remain and gna
dilate, of whom 199 were supposed to be teaching.
The Normal School at the period referred to,
was reported as graduating about 100 pupils annu
ally, and as sending out ahem, the same number of
under graduates who left before the close of the re
gular course. But place this whole number. of gra
duates and non-graduates amounting to 537 for three
years by the side of the 2,000 persons estimated to
have annually remitted Normal School instruction
in the academies, rind it is to say the least not a
large result. Place it by the side of the 16,500
teachers estimated to be annually employed, in the
11,000 school districts al the State, and it is eaay
- Wire that it is a result, that so far as its effects cm
the mass are concerned, is not a particular occa
sion of boasting. Allow the State School to send
nut annually 200 teachers, and it must take a period
of 55 years to fill the District &heels, and one of
82 years to train the whole class of District School
Teachers. Bat of these 200, taking the data of the
Normal School report as our guide, not far from
one quarter must bo deducted which goes to de-
MESE
create the result; and upon this, pile the fact that
thesupply mmt be renewed to a great extent eve
ry ten years at least, and the amount"acComplished
by that institution in the education of teachers,
dwindles to almost nothing: since at this Wile it
would take it about 73 years to supply the schools
of the State for ten years, or once-only.
But at what expense is even this to be , accent
'dished? The first class of greduales of the State
Normal School cost the Stator $3OO each' ",-,a sum
(spill to that given impunity ttieach of the Sixteen
academies selected to educate teachers, one of
which alone, had in one year 106 , pupilsjAn its
Teachers' Department. The average exPense of
the 222 teaching graduates of the first three years,
was. $135: The estimated expense to the State; for
graduates geoerally,according to the Normal School
Reeorli is $lOO, each; and of each teacher s so.
ThLs, however, appears to be simply the amount
for the 200 teachers covered by the annual appro
priation of ,SI0,000; for in that same retort. is
found the item of $3,128 paid to. pupils for Pd.
euouols to have established Teachers' De
partments in TO academies like that of St. Lau
rence, and to have afforded instntetton to 1,000
pupils annually, at a simple errata to the State
of 4its than three dollars mek. At the lowest rate,
however, it would, according- to the above data,
cost the State to educate one set of teachers, , the
sum of 5925,000; an expense 'requiring to be. re
peated in a great measure every two years; and
according to some, every five year:. But this
sum would give each of the 120 academies in that
State, nearly 5700 each year for the Yen years,.;, and
aderd instruction to, at least, 6,000 pupils armtially,
instead of 200 only. So much then for the results
of the State Normal School as to expensiveness.—
ELM your readers look at the facts candidly, end
judge . for themselves as to „the correctness of 'my
pompom. •
PAWL now notice only one mote point, the re
sults of that school as it regards influencing the .
Common Schools. It is true , that the Common
Schools of the State of New York have made
great advances; hut the advance is not due to, the
Neon! School, but to the Academical Normal
_School Departments, arid the County Teachers' In
stitutes mainly. Whet says the report before me?
" About one school in 50 or 75, may have been
taught by a graduate. We ask each member of this
Association to look over the district of country . in
which he resides nail determine for himself the ia
fltience exerted." Arid Pilola:sitate to say
from my own knewle4e several districts of
country, thattbe Committee who drafted that re
port, might safely have challenged any one to tra
verse the State and look into her Common Schools,
and find any perceptible eject produced on the mats.
I(eminot be perceived even now. It is from 'the
preceding facts, übsurd to suppose. , tt. The facts
speak for themselves. Here then leave them.—

VALUE OF AN Apar. OF COAL LAND.
Mn. B. BANNAX—Dear Sir :—The communica
tion of "Figure," in the Journal of the 10th inst.,
correcting an article in the Regi tier of the 27th ult.,
on the above subject, will bear a little correction.
The average weight' of a cubic foot of Anthra
cite Coal is' 3.75 lbs. • an acre, therefore, 1,-foot
thick, will give 1823 1:10 tons ; and assuming that
out of the 13 veins, whose total thickness is put
down at 9.0 feet, one-half is lost in faults and mining,
we have 1823 1-10 x 45=W0491 tons per acre of
merchantable Coal (supposing the strata to lay hori
zontally) which taken , at a rent of 25 cents per ton
Will amount to $20,512 37 per acre.
But this is far from being the present value of
such acre of land. If, for instance, " Figure"
owned a tract of Coal land of 100 acres, which be
wanted io and on which the full thickness of
Coal, as above 'mentioned, had been proved, Itiying
in a horizontal position, his land would 'contain 8,-
20.050 tons of merchantable Coal, yielding, When
all worked out; at a rent of 25 cents per ton, the
enormous stun of- $2,051,237. 'The preient value
of the tract would depend upon the_lepoh of time
it, lay before operations were commenced tb take
opt the Coal, and the yearly quantity mined .ailer
spch had been begun," Thus, if 12 months hence
shipments were commenced. and continued with-
Out intermission until all the Coal was exhausted at
100,000 tons per year, the Coal would not be worked
out, and the rents accruing therefrom would not be
received until the expiration of 83 years : the value
of the tract, therefore, would be the present Worth
of au annuity during the expected term of duration,
say 82 years, mid allowing a purchaser 10 per cent.
Per annum for' his capital ' would be worth, at the
present time, 8224,887 50, or $2,248 87/ per. acre.
Your correspondent "Figure " asks," how much
more the acre would contain if the veins dipPed at
.39.1 or 621 degrees?"
At the first pitch we have natural secant of angle
3'.1 deg. 43 min.. multiplied by , square- feet per acre,
°Muds 56,654 square feet,the area of the vein at this
pitch, and, therefore, by proportion,
sq. ft. 45,500 : t sq. R. 56,04 : : T. 82,041 : T. 106,708
the quantity of merchantable Coal in an acre, the
vein dipping at an angle of 39 deg. 45 min.; and
at the pitch of 42 deg. 30 min., the number of tons
of Coal contained in an acre at this pitch, equals
the tons contained in an acre horizontal, multiplied
by the natural secant of aiigle dip (li2 deg. 30 min )
equal 177,1;93 tons. -
"Figure " also asks, " how much more the acre
would contain if it covered one of the 'Ridges'
or Rolls' or 'Saddles' illustrated in the Ledger of
inst." This, with his question "us to the q
tit)) o( Coal contained in- an arre if it covered Shatiß
Mountain, where the veins are nearly vertical,' I
leave till he has famished proper data for calcula
tion.
to calculating the production of the veins under
consideration, It will be seen, i have departed ma
terially front the correspondents ot the Ledger, and
other papers, as to the quantity of Coat contained
in an acre (horizontal) one Mot thick.
A cubic foot of Bituminous Coal weighs 79.37
lbs , and an acre of such Coal, one foot thick, will,
therefore, contain 1543 tons, (Thomas Fenwick in
his work on Mine Surveying, published in 1804,
gives 1510 tons per acre,) from this quantity it is
customary to deduct one-third for waste and loss in
mining ; hence, for breYity and case itLealchlation,
an acre, one foot thick, is said to produce 1000 tons
merchantable Coal. But Anthracite is nearly one
fifth heavier than Bituniinons Coal, consequently
tile difference between the above calculations and
those .furnished the Ledger, Register and your
Journa, which .are based on the estimated produce
of the Bituminous Coal Fields of ther,orth of Eng
land. . '
In round numbers an acre of our Anthracite Coal
one foot thick, laying horizontally, will produce
1200 tons Merchantable Coal, after having deducted
one-third for waste raid loss in mining. K. S.
