MINERS'. JOURNAL :—A. spirit:of emu lation in a community is always praiseworthy and laudable,' provided it arises from an hon est wish to excel either in the attainment of good to ourselves, or in , promulgating those • principles of virtue which exalt the mind and purify the heart. Any community is benefited, when the citizens strive in the just and true way ..to improve the tastes, and en large the minds of their neighbois, either by improvements, in architecture,. wi e legisla tion or public displays. But while 'these tend to the xalting and ennobling ofeur race, bow often are their re sults rendered ineffective and of, no avail, by , men of. position, 'wealth' and . influence, ruled by private malice, insatiate 'ambition, inordi nate, -vanity and vulgar flattery, refusing to act or take any part in public improvements, simply because they are not' first consulted, or are given positions for which they are un qualified either by -common sense, sterling worth, or intellectual capacity.. • How we all love that noble and generous hearted man'whd will give freely of his time, talents and •wealth• to the education of the poor; to the erection of public buildings; to public and innocent meetings, parades and displays, and yield a portion of his social hours to the enjoyment and, improvement of his less fortunate fellow-citizens, without de • siring more than the love and esteem• of .his friends, '111:111. harboring no jealous dislike against any who may receive praise or' cora mendatiobobecause he acted and performed a more conspicuous part. How we loathe and detest the man who' uses his wealth: for, ostentatious'display. giv- . • ing it - freely to causes and objects wherein he has theruling• power, and for the, fickle praise, and flattery, and worship o" the no ble. thereby gaining hosts - of sycophant ad mirers and securing homage. How loathesome indeed to be the fourth man in a'country . in 'regard to wealth, pub licly to boast of that wealth, and deeds done with it, when its poasessor has not the brains of a flea, or the heart -of an ape. It is in ' deed praiseworthy and convenient to be wealthy, but'where ,is the man that abhors not the miser, or he, more than miser, who by chance accumulates wealth, and uses it only wherein, it gratifies .his love of public and indiscriminate praise, and personal van . Hy. regardless as to whether it benefits any human being or not. 'We have in this Coun ty men whose greatneza of mind and soul will yet redeem us froni misrule, and disgraceful Representatives and Congressmen,' if their 'labors are not rendered useless by silly pup pets, who, will 'attack ,a man on the street simply because be has done a good deed and received doe praise therefor, while "he has got none." Yet I ask our noble leaders to work. - on regardless .of "the asses that `bray." • • Yours Respectfully, JAUK SLow: - • • A VALLIABLE INvENTIos.—J. O. Woodruff, of Albany, lc.

Jototicat e , to of- . fer a few criticisms •on the- Manner In which the late County Teachers' -Institute was con ducted, and'l trust Mit all teacbera and other friends of poPular educattowititho may-peruse this article, will give me credit Pot a- ! proper motive in doing , : - Pint, =I would suggest -that teachers, as a general thing, receive such meager. salaries— barely sufficient to enable them to liv.e com- = fortably—that- they - are not warranted-hi go ing to the expense necessarily Incurred in at tending a convention of this "kind, unless they are certain of obtaining theft:ill worth - Of the money expended, by being benefited by the • exercises of the Institute, which- methods" to improve his ethoda" of teaching, 'and to encourage Aim in, the prosecution of his noble-work- otedumting the minds of , the young. If the Institute fails to accomplish this object, -- itio a failure altogetherousd - the teacheris poorer than he was beforepoorer In purse, and not a whit richer in intellect, and he returns to his work miter discouraged • than otherwise. - • With all- due " defereice to our worthy County Superintendent; and the able teach- ' ers who principally conducted the late Insti tute,'.l cannot avoid arriving. at the painful conclusion, that it. was a failure;.that, With , the exception of the exercise in orthography, the lectures upon that subject by Prof. Raub, and the: lectures by Dr- Plumer and 'Prof." Wickersham,, there was nothing doneSealcu lated to benefit the teacher. in : . the, leasts I don't think that this failure can be attribititeti to any want of energyor interest ou th e part of the County Superintendent, but it was partly the- fault of the teachers themselires, and partly the result of the. - Stepping ,aside - from"the usual . Methods of conducting these. 'lnstitutes, and resolving the entire convention - into one class instead of dividing, the- mem bers into six or eight classes, and.thus dis cussing the best methods of teaching as many • branches as there were classes at the semi time. It seems to me that the advantages ot this method over that which was pursued, are too obvious to need,comment. But I object principally to- the manlier In • which grave and important questions were disposed of. Questions were brought before the Institute for general discbssion, in which every one had or should haire had an interest. No good resulted from these, discussions, no new ideas were elicited. Nor were any good or new methods of teaeliing presented, sim ply beeause the principal participants in these • discussions; treated the" subject entirely too lightly.. • They seemed to think that here was ' an opportunity for them to display their wit, .and if they succeeded in making the audience ,laugh, and themselves ridiculous generally, their object was accomplished. It was a matter of little importance to them, whether or not they uttered a single word to the point. Thus the time was fnttered away, and , we failed to be benefited by the views of so- , ber, able acid practical teachers, simply be . cause under the eircumstatces, - they would have compromised their clignity..by entering . upon the discussion ,of the questions at aIL I think they did right by maintaining silence. Others would have done equally well had they listened more and saidless. But I "shall desist from further criticism at this time.' I simply wish to'call * the atten . tion of teachers of Schuylkill County to this matter, and to suggest to the Executive Com mittee to adopt the old, but good method ot class' drills for the next Institute, and that all questions which may arise 'for deliberation, may be discussed "earnestly and soberly;` as becomes theslignity of the teacher' profession with the.view of comparing methods, elicit leg new idees, and instructing the less suc cessful teachers, rather than to make a dip ..play of wit, which, by ° the way, • more fre quently proves no wit at all ;""and Alien we may expect to have an interesting'and suc 7 cessful Institute. Texcuza. We not unfrequently hear - parents com plain that their children learn very little or nothing that, proves useful to them after)eav- - lug' khool. , Judging from the number Of t o complaintsof this kind, we are constrained to believe there must be some cause for them. A boy may perhaps, be able to work all the examples in a common school arithmetic, and vet if he is asked to compute a question in, simple interest, or to find, what will a certain number of pounds of beef cost at a given price per- pound, he will 'stammer and hesitate, and finally seek to excuse himself by saying there were no questions of - that kind in the book which he used; or he may, after spending four or five years in the study of grammar, offend the ear of every person - of good taste by saying seen for saw', him and me for he and I, and by 'committing-43th 'er blunders still More. ridiculous. A' good plan to makechildren Anick and ready at. figures, is to give them.frequentlyy . during the recitation hour,-long columns of figures to add, or bills of merchandise to com pute or test examples in any of the rules - which "have been explained to thin. Letter writing, too, calls for some atten tion in our schools. There is - no' person with does not need at some time or other, to write letters of friendship or business; and &im peratively speaking, but few' persons are able when 'they leave school, to write a letter neatly and as it should be' written. . Errors in grammar, orthography, and corn- - position, crowd one upon another: Some lit erally cover the - Page ' with capitals, others are too sparing in their use, , while others cannot spell the simplest word correctly upon paper, 'although they may be able to spell it orally. Any person who has taken the pains 'to examine letters written: by most children, will find that they commence something like this: •"I take my pen in hand to let you know that I am and: I hope *this , will find you in a good rtate of, health, as -this leaves Me at present." • An exercise in letter-writing ,be given about - once a week.''lt is only by*con stant practice and close* attention that - The . mistakes above mentioned will be corrected.. Teachers should instruct their pupils how far from the margin 'of the paper, they, should begin to write, how to fold the letter, and how to write the address on the envelope.-- In nothing, perhaps, do children require, so much encouragement as in writing letters.,- Sometimes they will sit for half an hour with out writing a word. Ask them what 'they would say if the person to- whom they-are writing were.Oresent. Ask them to tell of something they have ;seen; of something that occurred during, the . :day, at hone or, at school. • . • These few remarks may save to suggest to the minds of teachers other methods. of in structing their pupils haw. to turn the knowl edge of other branches of study to some ac count. However, Wis to be hoped thatnone will be , so utilitarian as to suppose that notit-. ing is of.real use only so far as it ministers to the bodily , wants. - Everything that, elevates us above mere soulless animals is practical so far as it tends to that object.
