STATE TEACHNIIS' ASSOCIATION YOH WISTS.7OI Pzun'a.—Second Day—Wednesday, Deo. 29th.— Assooiation came to order at 9 o'clock, Mr. Ber ry in the chair. Mr. Baste called up the reso lution as to the expediency of forming a Teach ers' Association for Western Pennsylvania. Be dwelt at some length upon the propriety and importance of forming this Association now. Messrs. Avery, of this city, and Carothers, of Beaver, followed to the same effect. Mr. Berry, of Lawrence, did not feel quite satisfied as to the expediency of the step contemplated. We had already our State, County and Township or , ganizations ; Lhasa were seldom well attended, which of itself went to show that an additional association was not needed. If there lurked in this movement any bostilly to the State Associa tion, he would oppose the adoitlon of the reso lution. Mr. Avery was sorry thismovement should be looked upon by any body as •second "gun-pow der plot" to blow up the superintendency, and in fact the entire school system. We do not desire to be considered; nor are we, the teachers of this county, revolutionary ; we wish, how ever, to biprogressivel 8. P. Bates, Esq., of Crawford county, advo oiled the adoption of the resolution. Mr. A. H. Wenzel, of this city, alio favored the fanning of the Association, and argued that it would be productive of great good, Mr. Berry never folt more discouraged In his life than when he found the teachers of Pitts burgh in hostility to a measure whiehoos seen In the improvement of schools throughout the State, had tended to elevate the standard of ed ucation. After some further discussion of the matter the VeMion was taken on the adoption of the resolution. The 'result was, that It was adopted unanimously. The Chair then appointed a committee to draw up and submit a Constitution for thegovernment of the proposed Association, consisting of the following gentlemen: Messrs. B. N. Avery, B. M. Kerr,S. P. Bates, B. Carry and A. H. Wenzel. The subject of popular errors in education then came up in regular order, for discussion, after which Mr. B. M. Kerr offered the follow ing resolution : Resolved, That Clarke ehool Viritor, designed for teachers, in worthy of our hearty support, and that we will cheer the editor of that paper in his good work, not only by our words but by our actions, in aiding to extend its circulation. This resolution was adopted. A committee was appointed to enquire into the propriety of establishing a School Journal for Western Pennsylvania, in this city, as fol low: Messrs. Burn, Bates, Findley, Carothers and Farr. Afternoon Session.—According to the 'order of the day the resolutions offered yesterday morning, by Mr.',Burtt„ were again taken up. Mr. Burß took the door, and •proceeded to answer the objections urged on Monday against those resolutions. lie thought something was needed to quiet the dissatisfaction felt with the working of the County Superintendency. The decisions of a committee of three. would be more respected, and give more general satisfaction than the de- cisions of one man, and there would be leas op portindtfloilalaittliatTratininututal fy . lir tbrd...l!”:..2 l u.fir!... o fc.nloty. fledier theretantion,rnany ,.. do not. These are intirdiniptirtiorto - thepriskpailtfettielitinltehati , examinations. With regard to the third resolu tion, it is admitted by the friends of the law, that the power objected _to is so arbitrary and un reasonable that no Superiniendett has exercis ed it, and none will. If that be true such an enactment should not disgrace the statute book. Mr. Avery wished strangers to understand that the opposition manifested to the office of the Superintendent, is not the result of any-objec tion to the present incumbent: No one man could properly perform the labor that devolved upon him. C:LUMI Here Mr. Burtt interrupted the speaker, re: questing him to mention the (set that the Super intendant in addition to his other duties, was pastor of two churches. Mr. Avery declined to do this, stating that- be would adopt the gentleman's ideas when-his own were exhausted. it was Impossible for a Superintendent to visit more than two thirds of the reboots of the County in a single year, and thus in many districts the people were obliged to dispaise with the most important duties of the County Superintendent. The only examination for professional certifi cates was held in August last, and such has been the pretsure of duties upon the Superintendent, that he has not been able either to grant certifi. mitee or even to examine the papers. ' Prof. Bates, of Crawford county, woo not par tioalirly interested in the subject, although himself * county eupetintendent. He had not expected to find the sunerlnteadency so oopOp olor this region.. •He fayored the plan of having assistants ap pointid toaid in examining teachers. His exam insane, were 'always public. Teachers should undoubtedly have the privilege of, appeal when their certificates were annulled. i'rof. Dickson thought that the prosperity of the school de pended more upon the efficiency of the teacher than upon anything elan An efficient, energetic man—a practical teacher—might do great good in inch an office; but if such men cannot be chosen, it would be better to abolish the office. If certificates should be cancelled he thought an appeal should be allowed. Prot Bates remarked that be always gave complainants a re-examln altos when desired. Mr. Bartt moved that the subject be indefinite ly postponed, whiob was agreed to. Mr. Avery, chairmn 51 the committee ap pointed for that pur pose, reported a preamb:, , sod constitution u follow, which was adopted by a unanimous vote Pastuants: ,With en earnest desire to advance the interests of popular education in the State of Pennsylvania, to elevate the character of the teacher, and to enlarge his field of usefulness by affording means of mental improvement and social intercourse, and especially to co-operate with the State Teachers' Association, in the groat Objects of its organization, the undersign ed agree to adopt a constitution [in substance, as follows :] That the association shall be styled the "West ern Pennsylvania Teachers' Association. That any person may become a member by subscribing to the Constitution. That the annual meeting shall be held in De cember, and that two conseautive meetings shall never be held in the same county. The Executive CommlUee announced that Prof. Bates, of Crawford county, would deliver a lecture before the 'Association in the evening. Adjourned. At the evening session of the Convention, Prof. Bstes delivered a lecture on "The Dignity of the Teacher'e Profession." A more appro priate and beautiful leoture we have not heard for many a day. A comparison was Instituted between the profession of teaching and the call ing of the farmer, the ortiet, and the lawyer. The teachers of ancient Rome and Greece were alluded to. Aristotle's fame has out-shone the renown of his world-conquering pupil, the life of Socrates wee so pure and unsullied and his death so sublime, that his name still stands as the eyrobel of morel excellence and heroism. The profession .will confer no dignities upon the unworthy—but upon the bead of hint who • proves faithful shall be placed a crown of honor which conquers and kings might envy. _ • We cannot, at ibis late hour; gives - faithful abstract of the lecture.' We will only add our regrets that so fine an effort did not draw an 'Ludlam worthy of the occasion. • Tun Blair Whig sayst—The, extensive and enterprising Iron fret of .Wood,, Morrell& Co., of Johnstown, peUtioned- our Court at.
