CLEARFIELD, PA., AUG. 19, 18.37.
CtE AH field CorsY ICoemal School. The
Convention of School Directors, which met in
May last to elect a Superintendent, imposed
tipon that officer the duty of teaching a Xor
taal School for a period of two months each
year. In accordance with this obligation, our
worthy Superintendent, Rev. L. L. Still, open-
" ed a school of the character named, a week
since, in the Borough of Curwensville. Dur
ing a portion of Hie time, Professor Allen, of j
M'Kcan county, a gentleman of flue attain
ments and well qualified to act tho part of in
structor, has been in attendance, imparting in
struction, and also delivering lectures on educa
tional subjects, on several evenings during the
time ol his visit. There arc, we loam, be
tween 25 and SO teachers in attendance. This
number may appear small, but when the pecu
liar circumstances by which many teachers
are surrouaded, are known, it is rather a mat
ter of surprise that the number is so large.
For instance, some of the teachers, we are
tld, have not been paid their last winter's wa
ges, and this tardiness on the part of districts,
is preventing their attendance. One other
drawback Is, that in several districts, tiie di
rectors have either opened, or failed to close,
kb they should have done, the public schools,
so as to give their teachers an opportunity of
.Attending. Ave mention these facts to show
the obstacles that intervene, and the diflicul-
tics that have to be encountered by the Super
intendent. There is certainly no way in which
those who follow, or iutend pursuing the oc-
-cupatiou of teacliirg, can reap as much bene
fit, as by attending a Normal School, and in
, this instance, at least, at so trifling a cost, for
. no, tujtiou feo is charged, and boarding is the
only expense to bo incurred. TRc advantages
are much greater than is generally supposed,
and we trust that not only the school teachers,
for whose special benefit the school is intend
ed, but that the citize.ns of the county gener
ally will take an interest in the matter, and aid
In this cQort to advance the cause of 'educa
tion in our county.
oabbatq &cuool celebration. i he anni
versary celebration of the Episcopal Sabbath
School ol this place, which was held at Liber
ty Spring on last Friday, was a very fine affair.
Appropriate exercises were had on the occa
sion. There was a bountiful collation of "tho
good things of earth," done np in the choicest
style, for which those who. prepared it, are de
serving of high commendation and the. thanks
of all who participated. Everything passed
e-fl agreeably and satisfactorily, and a vey
pleasing feature was the spirited and enliven
ing musical performances. It was really heart -
"cheering to see parents and children, teachers
and scholars, out in the free, pure air, ming
ling and enjoying- themselves in such an ap
propriate, and felicitous manner, and it is only
lo be regretted Wat such occasions do not oc-
cur mora frequently.
