FOR TIIE LEHIGH "REGISTER."
Essay on the Classification of Schools.
The subject selected for my essay, was
the classification of schools, but as it is a
subject upon which but little can be said or
at .least but little done at present, I shall not
confine myself to that subject. 'Tis true
we
. might recommend some very good
plans •to adopt in classifying our schools,
but under present circumstances we can
not adopt them. Hence we will give
loose reins to our imagination, and note a
few ramdon thoughts.
The present is truly an age of wonders
in the literary, artistical and scientific
world: The man of genius is exerting his
ingenuity in the construction of magnetic
and — steam propeting - machinery, while
the man of literary attainments is striving
to register his name high above that of his
14ows, by the productions of his pen.
Literary institutions are being founded
throughout our land, in which we may
qualify ourselves fig the duties of any
station in life. In those institutions we see
the emaciated youth porin g
id
his stud
-ies-from early-morn-'till midnight;_and_for_l
I what? why that he may take some honor
able
and elevated position in society. In
our imagination, let us suppose thl juve
nile world to compose an army, which is
endeavoring to ascend the hill of science.
On its lofty summit they see the temple of
fame and honor, while their eager eyes
gaze upon its glittering spires, and they
see written legibly in letters o f ! gold, upon
its massy columns, the names of worthies,
who have gained its portals. The fire ofam
bition is kindled in their breasts. As we
in our imagination look half way up the
mountain we see a part of the army placed
under the command and direction of com
petent and experienced guides, some of
which have left the temple to assist those
who have been so fortunate, through their
own exertions and the assistance of their
friends to get thus far, there being but few
who have gained the summit that are will
ing to mePt the advancing party more than
half way. Thus being placed under the di
rection of experienced leaders, having "ex
celsior" written upon their banners, with
bounding heart and buoyant step, they
readily press their way through intri
cate windings and over craggy rocks,
until they are able to write their name in
some conspicuous place, where future
generations can read it.
As we have followed that part of the
army, let us now turn our attention to the
base of the mountain, and what do we see,
and heart Something, which, if rightly
viewed, is calculated to move our hearts
with pity and cause the tear to moisten our
eyes. Here we see promiscuously thrown'
together, the youth of both sexes, white and
black, the youth of middling circumstances
with the poor and half clad, the young
child, with those about entering upon the
stage of woman and manhood. But hark !
we hear one simultaneous cry arise from
the vast assemblage ; it is the cry of help,
help, which appeal, as it salutes our ears,
should at once excite our sympathy and
demand our attention. Who then will
I obey the call and extend the helping hand ?
Thanks be to the author of all good,, for
having blessed us with the ability of im
' parting instruction to others and for giving
us hearts to feel interested in the education
. of the rising generation.
Rest assured, worthy colleagues, that the
calling in which we are engaged, is a no
ble and exalted one. We should rejoice
that we are counted worthy to occupy sn
laudable a position, and in view of the great
responsibilities resting upon us as teachers
of the young, having it in our power to
make correct or false impressions upon
their young minds, we should enter upon
the duties of our station, with pure,
honest and interested motives.
0 &J SAEGEI:
The question which was given us for
discussion now presents itself for our con
sideration, viz :
How shall we divide and arrange our
juvenile army, so as to accomplish the
most in the shortest space of time, and
most effectually aid them in their rugged
and arduous ascent. One thing is certain :
that without order and system, work will
not harmonize and prosper.
1.4 us now inquire, and endeavour to as
certain the cause why our scholars do not
make more advancement in study, in our
public schools. Are the children in fault?
Perhaps partly, though we presume but
very little. Are the teachers to blame
Perhaps a little blame may be attached to
them, but not much. Schabl Directors, is
it your fault t Undoubtedly you are ready
to say no, we have endeavored to dis
charge our duty, as far as our limited pow
er extends.- Are our -legislators to blame?
We answer no; Although the power of
making laws is placed in their hands,
yet they do not wish to make laws against
the will of their constituents, but, on the
contrary to consult the Wishes of the peo
ple, We hear - the question going the
roundS, among Directors, Teachers, and
Parents, who is to blame We dusWer.
praitity,
and we httieie •toriettly, that
most if not the blame rote urn lbe
•
BY E. MOSS
Parents and Guardians of the children.
They are to blame first, because they do
not feel sufficient interest in the cause of
education,
to give it that encouragement
and aid which it needs, in order to sustain
it properly. 'Tis true they are anxious
that their children should learn. Some
will send their children to school three or
four days in a week, and sometimes ask
them when they return home, how many
scholars the teacher has. Upon being told
that he has fifty or sixty, the father will
say " well, really, that is too many for one
teacher to have. You can't learn much
that way. The teacher can't do justice
with so many scholars." And there the
matter rests. II the school referred to is
a country school, those fifty or sixty
scholars are composed of male and female,
large and small. And to that number has
to be taught : alphabet, orthography, read
ing, writing, grammar, geography and
arithmetic, with perhaps something else,
and if thil children do not learn, the fault
generally, is said to be the teacher's. Often
upon going home the question is asked
them, how many lessons a day does
--Your- teacher- hear:you recite ? On_tieing_
told two, some will say " what a lazy
teacher he must be." " Why, when we
went to school, we used to say. four lessons
a day and my teacher had as many schol
ars as yours, if not more:" Well, admitting
all that to be true. What good did your
four lessons a day do you ? Were not
your lessons said over hastily, without
note, comment or explanation from the
teacher? Yes, such was the case. And
according to the present arrangement of
our schools, teachers have to practice the
same error. The truth is you have given
your teachers too much work to do, if you
would have yOur children learn. You
admit that your schools are too large and
that your children do not learn much.
Parents do you, ask.why you are to blame,
because things do not work better? We
repeat what we stated before, that you
.do not feel sufficient interest in the cause
of education, to give it that encouragement
which it needs. Our legislators have pass
ed a law giving us the privilege of keeping
our Public Schools open ten months in a
year if we wish. And have appropriated
a sum of money towards enabling us to do
so. All that is wanting now is for us to
make up the defibiency.
Remember that our schools cannot be
kept open, and properly conducted with
out money. Then the very thing that we
want in order to sustain and forward the
cause of education is money. We want
more school houses, and money to pay
teachers fur teaching in them. Then, in
the first place let us go to work to building.
And here permit me to suggest a plan in
the construction of your school houses in
the country. It is that they should be
built large enough to divide into two or
three apartments. If into two, have the
boys in one room, under the care and in
,struction of a male teacher ; and the girls
in the other, with a female teacher hppoint
ed to take charge of them. If the district
is thickly settled, the school may lie divid
ed into three apartments. First into the
primary department, including both male
and female;
second into the female ; and
third into the male. As female teachers
can be employed cheaper than males ; let
the primary, and female departments be
placed in the charge of females. Un
doubtedly this arrangement would be a
very good one where,it could be made.—
But in districte-that.are thinly settled, per
haps this plan cannot be adopted, owing
to the great distance the children would
have to go to school. According to this
arrangement we would not need as many
male teachers as we now have ; conse
quently the cost for instruction would not
be much greater than at present. Then
our schools would not be so• crowded, the
work of the teacher would not be so labori
ous, the government of schools would' not
be so difficult, your children would receive
more attention from their teachers, and
the cause of education be promote&among
us. Then I would say in conclusion, Pa-:
rents and professed friends of education,
show yourselves to be its ,true friends by
opening your purses, and giving liberally
towards its support, and your children will
rise up and call you blessed.

The Will of John MeDonoglit
The evening edition of the New Orleans
Picayune, of onday, the 28th ult., furt+
shes the following interesting particulars re
lative to the funeral and the contents of the
will of Mr. John McDonogh
Mr. McDonogh was buried yesterday af
ternoon in the cemetery erected by himself,
near his residence, at McDonoghville, for
his negroes. It was his wish that he should
be buried among them. The funeral was
plain and unostentatious. Prayers and a
short sermon were delivered in the small
church attached to the house; built for the
negroes, and where the deceased himself
often preached to his slaves. A very large
number of persons, white and colored, were
present. The coffin was placed in the plain ,
oven shaped tomb-usual-here.----.--
On Saturday evening. C. Roselius, Esq.,
for fifteen years the legal adviser Of the de
ceased, appeared before Judge BuChanany
of the Fifth District Court, and informed
him that Mr. McDonogh had left an ologra
phic will, which was deposited either in the
Louisiana State Batik, the Bank of Louisiana,
or the Union Bank. An order of court was
issued, in consc. uetice,foran , of the cashiers
of said banks to bring the will into the Fifth
District Court this morning at 10 o'clock.
Accordingly; at the above hour, the Ca
shier of the Union Bank, Mr. Frey, ap-•
peered, having a tin box containing a dupli
cate copy of the will, .with a portfolio con
taining memoranda for t•xecutors, notes, &e.
Another copy of the will is in the, posses
sion of Mr. Joseph Montgomery, of this State.
The court room was crowded. M r..,Rosetius
presented the will, which was proved by
Messrs Grytnes, Frey, and Grivot. The
will is of twenty-four foolscap pages, close
ly written in the testator's own handwriting
Judge Buchanan unsealed, opened , nnd react
it, occupying in so doing some hours time.
After leaving $OOOO and some landed pro:-
perty in Baltimore to his sister and her child
dren, the deceased bequeaths his entire es. ,
tate, of which he gives no aggregate amount
to the Mayor, - Aldermen, and citizens of
New Orleans and Baltimore, half to each•
city, for the purpose of establishing here a:
free school for poor children of all classes;
and an asylum for the poor. To the Prete ,
stant Male Orphan Asylum of this city, he
gives $400,000 in yearly instalments. The
The two other institutions' bequests are also
