(Educational Department STATE KOBMAL SCHOOL. WHY HOT HATE OSE IS CLE.VttFIEI.D ? All persons who wish to examine the law on the above subject, I refer to the July number of the School Journal, 1857. These Institutions combine Slate authority with private enterprise, with the intent to aid in the perfection of our noble school system. They will inspire confidence in the friends of free education, and assist in elevr.ting the Teacher'scalling to the true standard of a le gal profession, by a diploma which gives the holder a right to "teach in any part of the State without a re-examination. "It will render uniform all over the State, the standard of ac quirement amongst teachers, and thuH systema tize and elevato the course and degree of in struction in all the schools." The school will be conducted by six professors of liberal edu cation and ability to give instruction in all the common branches, to which will be added Book-keeping, History, Mathematics, Theory and Practice of Teaching, Mental and Moral Science, Languages, &c, together with such other branches as the condition of the school and the number of students may require. There is an increased demand for higher ed ucation, and wherever an institution of this kind has been rightly located, ably and faith fully conducted, it has been profitable and honorable, will pay the interest of their cost in money, and be the gainer of a large divi dend in social benefit. Clearfield county alone has the material to fill an institution of this kind, and with little exertion it is believed the means can be procured to put it in operation. Education ! How significant, bow expres sive of something beyond this mundane sphere of ours. Above, how high its progress; "around, how wide ;" how deep below extend. It fathoms the depths of tiie sea : searches the innermost recesses of the earth to bring forth their hidden treasures, and soars beyond the regions of space to view the celestial world, and by the aid of astronomy and geometry to observe the motions, measure the distances and comprehend the size and magnitude of the heavenly bodies and the laws of nature ; while tit the same time we perceive the wisdom, strength and beauty of the great creator of the universe. "When smooth old Ocean and each storm 's asleep. Then Ignorance may plough the watery deep ; But when the demons of the tempest rave, Skill must conduct the vessel thro' the wpvc" How many youthful minds, what amount of bright intellect has been tortured and recked In the sea of ignorance by untutored peda gogues ! What amount is lost to the State and society for want of skillful pilots to con duct the first impressions of the mental and moral laculties aright, to train the youth in the way they should go, and bring them safely to that haven of knowledge, that will make them ornimcnts of the State, bright and shi ning lights of the first magnitude in society lit emblems of Heaven ! Education is progressive. We live in a pro gressive age, and Clearfield has as good a right to take the load in the establishment of a Stato Normal School in her District as any other of the ten counties name 1 in the Act. Let a normal school be established in this place or its vicinity, having all the necessary fixtures and Professors for the different branch es, as the law requires, to carry out success fully its intentions, and the benefits resulting from it will be almost incalculable. It will bring into your midst from 300 to CuO students of the various counties i;i the district, who will be dependent in a great measure for their necessaries and convenience of Jiving, on the farmers and merchant 1 this place and vi cinity. This alone would increase the value of property very much. But a higher and jjore noble end is in view than that of dollars and cents, viz : to store the mind with useful J knowledge, to develop the powers of intellect, to train the youth physically, mentally and morally, so as to answer the great design of their creator. This will not be a school for a favored few to monopolize. No! its aspira tions are "excelsior" higher and higher. It is to be the People's college, a school for the masses a truly democratic institution, doing the greatest good to the greatest number open and free to all, rich and poor, high and low ; "cheap enough for the poorest ; good enough for the best." I think no argument will be necessary to convince any person that State normal schools will be the most powerful aids to preparo our children for the multifarious, the high and re sponsible duties of life, and the teachers for the position the' are to occupy in the dis charge of their duties. Our motto is Educa tion, is Advance, if we would gain the victory over ignorance. Perfection in a system of public instruction should be our aim. Penn sylvania has begun the great work of reform in education, and will be a shining light in the galaxy of States that mav compose our na tional union. The school system better pre pares the teacher for his vocation, gives in struction in the branches to be taught, as well as in school government and the art of teach ing, induces teachers to meet and have an in terchange ot thought in their experience and compare the modus operandi of their works with each other, so that the knowledge gained by each separately becomes tha common prop erty of all. We are not yet able to employ competent teachers for ail our schools: but under the office of Superintendent, men unac quainted with the business of teaching cannot impose upon the credulity of the people as heretofore, and obtain the public funds with out giving an equivalent. Through the aid of normal schools we shall be able to place com petent teachers in every school in the State, and in proportion to the increase of their num bers will be the increase ot pupils receiving instruction, wuo will return to their homes and friends as useful and honorable members of so ciety, and living examples cf the benefits of physical, intellectual and moral culture. The rode implements of husbandry in times past, are not sufficient for the present : nor is the teacher prepared to discharge his duty without previous preparation for the profession. By the aid of modern improvements and steam power one man may control and perform the work of a hundred in ono day. This to a lim ited extent is literally true in the art of teach ing. It was thought in times past if a teacher could look over twelve or fifteen littlu urchins and make the girls and boys smart with the oil of beech, he had wrought miracles. But that will not do in these fast times, when lightning is learned to talk and electricity conveys our thoughts from continent to continent with the epecd of liarht. anil wliAtl.1 nfittfn tnlr ne bodily over the iron rails with the velocity of tc. wmd alraost annihilating time and space. TV here schools are properly graded and classi fied and furnished with the necessary fixtures of the school room, it is almost a's easy to teach and demonstrate 100 pupils as ten. Students of law, divinity, medicine, and the other learned professions, have their schools of theory and practice. All mechanics have to spend a certain length of time to learn their art and mystery in the use of tools and mate rials used in their trades. Why then should not the teacher go through a careful profes sional training to prepare him for the school room ? He who shapes the immortal minds of our youth shonld possess a knowledge of the laws that govern the powers of the mind and their development. This is as necessarv as it v for tie pxciia meciaalc to know how to use the tools made for his service. In a few years our normal institutions will staud forth as the sun in his mid-day brightness to illu mine the path of all who resort there to obtain a full knowledge in the art of teaching. (Conclusion next tceek.) The School Directors of Penn township, as we learn by the Secretary of the Board, have adopted the entire list of School Books recom mended by the Convention wnicn met in Clearfield on the 2oth of June last. A schoolmaster down cast has been fined ten dollars for whipping the girls in his school. High price, that, for "licking lasses." The grain is God's bounty the floweis are his smiles. J. R.
