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.
