FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Miss Benedict said she had been. in the
habit of detaining scholars that failed in their
recitations. In this way she obtained good
recitations without much di fficulty. If schol
ars knew they would be detained till their
lessons were' perfectly learned they generally
came prepared.
Mr. McKibbin said he -first endeavored to
enlist the interest of the parents. He never
forced a study upon a class ; but when once
engaged in it he used the rod if unable to se
cure good recitations in any other way— as a
general thing, however, he had found it much
easier to lead scholars than to drive them.—
He recommended mental exercises for all
grades of pupils, as an excellent means to
excite interest. He had used prizes, but dis
continued them, finding they had a tendency
to awakiM a wrong ambition and create a
spirit of envy.
Miss McDivitt said good recitations are
those which scholars will retain in their
minds. Such recitations require more than
a mere answering of the questions in the
book—they include a thorough understand
ing of the lesson, To secure this the teach
er must manifest a proper interest, must tho
roughly explain the lessons when,assigned,
vary the questions, and ask such as do not
occur in the order of the text. Scholars
might be able to answer, in their order, all
the questions in the lesson, and yet not un
derstand its principles. To stimulate schol
ars to be thorough in the work of prepara
tion, she thought a general review, each day,
of the previous day's lessons very effective.
Scholars would be tempted to slight the work
of to-day if they knew the deficiency must I
be made up to-morrow.
Mr. Porter said he had been in the habit ,
of giving rewards. He• let it be distinctly
understood, however, that he was under no
obligation to do so. He had not yet'discov
ered any bad effects from the use of rewards.
The rod he had not used, but would not liesi- ;
tate to use it as a last resort.
Mr. Hall said he was happy to find the
strong points of the subject all presented with
such clearness and power. He would mere
ly recapitulate them. First, the classes must
be made to feel an interest in their lessons,
and the parents must
. be so far interested as
to - allow their children time and opportunity
to mem'orizethe lessons at home. Again, the
principal difficulties should.. be
,explained
when the lessons are assigned, an privilege
granted the class to ask questions before call
ed to recite ; and no recitation Should beCon
sidered. good unless the pupils thoroughly un
derstand. the subject. The -,mere answering
of questions as they occur in - the books was,
asahe ladies insisted, 'a Very' prior evidence
of the Scholars' ' proficiency. He. had often•
wished there were no answer, to questions.in
our text-books—they -were only made to ac
commodate stupid. teachers and lazy pupils.
As regards the use of rewards and putt ish
ments leagreed that the teacher should.be
able to reach a large majority 'of his pripils
without recourse to either. 'But as long as
the Governor of all things presents rewards
and punishments as motives of action to his
rational creatures, he believed both to be
right, and-each, in - some cases, necessary in
the school-room. 'He did not advocate beat
ir, knowledge into children 3 but when all
other means failed,, he had always felt it to,
be his ditty, however unpleasant, to try the
effect of- corporal punishment, andhati gene
rally found it attended, in such cases, with
the most happy results. •
Mr. Brigham presented a 'set of Felton's .
-outline-maps, arid after an introductory ad
dress, proceeded to show the advantages of
teaching from
- them and the manner of doing
it by chanting, He saidthis system of teach
ing as based upon the well known principle
that a.thing'fixed upon the mind through - the'
orgaraof-sighC is. - much more lasting than
things learned: otherwisn; - that this system
exercises not only the memory but the judge
ment-also, and - thns gives•the mind a degree
of -cultivation , not acquired by the old Meth.;
ods. The science of music' which was also
connected with it, was . one of great power
andin sortie Cases had moved when the logic
of a Plato or the eloquence of a Cicero had
failed. He predicted. that the system of
teaching-from outline maps and by chanting
would sepercede all other systems now in
use.
Mr. Hall said he considered the system of
teaching geography described by Mr-. Brig
harn-an.excellent accompaniment,of the re;-.
War mode of study, recitation and mapping
practised in our best schools, but. he thought
it a miserablesubstitute for these. He used
the system, as. a recreation •and to impress
more permanently the principal facts of local
geography un the minds of his pupils. But
he insisted that all the facts should be first
learned by , study and drawing the maps on
slate or black=board, and that . the mere than=
Ling of lessons, without such . study, was per
fect humbug. .
Mr. ,
McKibbin agreed with Mr: Hall ;he
had 'tested the' matter and found that those
had no foundation, by previouS study to build
upon, passed, through this so called match
less syhtent,without acquiring any connected
knOwledge of the subject, or any taste fot
the requisite effort to become good geogra
phers. • •,. .
Mr. Baker said he was in favor of outline
mapS'and thought they should .be in every
school. He considered them a most` excellent
aid'in tea - Ching the locality of places, but
said it was impossible to teach "geography
froln - these =alone.' •• The definitions and-des
crip“veparts should be taught from books
or .orallr; the , rest- might be learned from
thess maps.. .
Mr. McDiVitt said the only method of im
pressing the facts of local geography perma
nently-,on the-minds of scholars,. was to teach
them.to make the, maps, themselves. This
was chiefly relied on in his school, arid if
there he could - sfy.:l.v the evidence of its com
plete Success:' -"-
Mr. Benedict said no 'system of teaching:
geography.; could be, called good unless, it
leave an abiding impression on the child's
mind': Does t heoutline system do this ? Is
it the best way 'to impress the mind? 'He
was not-, prepared to say it was: He•thought
it was•apar; of the bestmethod„. - but dikl-not
reg;ar.d . it as erninglr to meet the wants of

FRIDAY EVENING SESSION
Mr. Baker,, on Distinct Articulation, said
the subject was more important than most
persons suppose, and also more neglected
than others. Teachers will attend to all oth
er branches and lose. sight, of this. He had
visited many schools and conversed with ma:
ny teachers, but seldom beard anything on .
this subject. He had heard a great deal of i
indistinct articulation in schools and very lit
tle notice taken of the defect by teachers. ii
It was very unpleasant to hear a reader make
a noise and not understand what he says.—
It was often easy to understand people when
conversing who could riot be distinctly heard
when reading,. This was owing to early
training. He did not pretend to he proficient;
had not been very successful, and wanted in
formation. He thought it very important
that the teacher should speak and read dis
tinctly and require his scholars to repeat ev
ery sentence and word until they were dis
tinctly heard. - He had been in the habit of
standing at the greatest possible distance
from his, reading class and having the schol
ars read so that he could understand them
without looking on a book. He also, at least
once a week allowed otie in each class to, se
lect apiece in a newspaper or book, prepare
it, and read for the class who were required
to make the corrections. Such means ; if reg
ularly and rigidly practiced, will soon pro
duce treat improvement; but the manner in
which reading is taught in many of our schools
is time worse than wasted. He closed with
some •arnusing incidents ifinstrating the in-•
distinct; mumbling manner of reading gene
rally practiced in the country.
The Origion of Know-Nothingistn
Many good citizens, both native and adop
ted.desire to know from what germ this new
party vegetated. We can present them the
hist seed that 'was planted, and which has
been mutured by bigotry, proscription and
treason, until it has grown to the full size of
a bad weed,'Which will soou die and rot, as
all bad weeds do. Its origion was in the
Hartford Caiivention. That memorable as
semblatze of traitors to their country adopted
the following resolution:
Resolved, No person who shall hereafter
be a naturalized citizen of the United States,
shall be eligible as a member of the Senate
or House of Representatives of the United
States nor
,be capable of holding any-civil.
office under the, authority of the United
States. . •
It is:well known to every American citizen
that the infamous Convention which adopted
the above resolution were acting with the
enemy against. their . country, and_ hoisting
blue lights, to indicate tb :the. foreigr,foe the.
points at which. "they could Jo the most in
jury to our country.• And While they were
aiding the armies .and fleets of England 'to
devastate our fair land, and indicate to them
that they would be received •• with fraternal
friendship, they gravely resolve to exclude
foreign ers•froin ail offices in - the gift of the
United ; States ! What profound wisdom and
admirable consistency in sentiment and ac
tion ! They, first hang up their . bide lights
toladicate the points at which a foreign ene
my coaild butcher :American citizens 'with
the greatest facility, and, then turn round arid
disfranchise al/ citizens of foreign birth ! •
The inconsistency of this course might re
quire an explanation to a casual reader, but
to a majority it is as plain 'as the sun at noon -
day. They were the bitter enemies of their
country, and desired to see it beaten in strife;
but the patriotism of the adopted citizens
who rallied to the defense of- the stars' and
stripes excited. all their: malignity,' and they ,
therefore, resolved that if they could not se
mire to the enemy the privilege of desolating
our country, they would make aliens of the
brave men:who volunteered to defend it.
• The principle-of this infamous Convention
is now, revived by our noted K .N. party.—
The leading tenet of their creed_ is identical
with the sentiments of the Hartford Conven
tion, and they declare, in as bold terms, that
they are determined to carry them'out.—
Brit a short time will show that its'vitality
cannot hold beyond its-seeon'd birth-day, and
when it dies it will be buried in the tomb of
the Hartford ConVention, without any ray to
ilkimine its memory. except the blue light
spirit in which it had its origion.—Pittsbtog

ConstitutiOn cif that State so ,as to deny to

tune is almost entirely composed of Know
,Nothings-67 of, Whom are ministers of the
Gospel, and mostly of the methodist persua
sion. When this reform is perfected in the
old Bay State.—w hose commercial capital is
dubbed the Athens of America—as
,a matter
of course it will be 'followed in otheiSlates,

Know-Nothing Consistency.
The Boston correspondent of the Evening
Post gives the following facts in connection
with the disbanding of sundryforeign mili
tary coMpaniesin Massaehussetts :
"n.n Irish company having voted to dis
band, in consequence of the remarks of the
Governor on such organizations, a morning
paper states that -in ovember, 1553, Gov.
Gardiner paid to that same company the sum
of one hundred dollars for firing a salute in
honor of the rejection of the new constitu
tion, which rejection was affecteclb_y a union
of the Irish voters with- their old foes, the
Whigs. This shows how men can change
under the influence of patriotism—and so
forth. I fear that all the details of the bar
gain between the Whigs and the Irish are
likely to come out,' now that the parties to .
that bargain are seeking one - anothees des
truction. It appears, further, that Governor
Washburn appointed an Irishman to the of
fice of Justice of the Peace, at the earnest
recommendation of Mr. Gardner. The new
Governor can defend himself in the .spirit of
Be.iedick, and, declare that 's.v hen be, patroni
zed Irish soldiers and Irish Justices, he had
not the remotest idea that he should ever be
a Native. it is, however, rather unfortunate
that the weight of his message is likely to
be lessened by the laying bare of his antece-•
dents.
New Hampshire always Erect.
- The democratic meetings in New Hamp
shire, now almost of daily occurrence, re
mind one forcibly of those monster gather
ings which characterized the campaigns of
1840 and 1844—the same outpouring of the
masses, the same enthusiasm, the same vigi
lance and fidelity, ai.d the same heartfelt in
terest animating the chosen leaders as well
as the rank and file. The tone of the demo
cratic press of that State is hopeful even to
exultation, and the indications are unmista
kable that in the coming struggle New Hamp
shire will stand where she has ever proudly
stood.
Among the resolutions passed by the late
democratic senatorial convention of the first
district were the following :
"Res'olv'ed, That we have unWaveriNy, con
fidence in the administration of Gen. Frank
lin Pierce ;that his official acts meet our can
did and hearty approbation ; that his foreign
policy is a triumphant vindication of the sen
timent enunciated in his inaugural; that the
American name should be a protection, to
American citizenship in all parts of the world;
and that the principles upon, which our do
mestic affairs are administered by this ad
ministration are sound and•democratic.
"Resolved, That we. recognise in the prin
ciples of the. Kansas and. Nebraska act a
practical exemplification of the vital princi
ple of popular sovereignty. '
"ResolVed, , That we are opposed. to the
know-nothing organization because it is a se
cret society of the character- described by
Washington as dangerous to our free institu
tions"; because it. is .founded upon an intoler
ant basis and: because we believe it to be
entirely subservient to the leaders of the whip
and abolition parties,,and intended-to:pro
mote the interests - and secure the accession,
of federa:ism. We also believe that the
democratic party is never adverse to any just
reforms, as it is - never ashamed to avow its
political principles."
neiv'Pha.se . of Robbery..'
CriLOno.rourvx orr' THE Cans—A Woman in,
the Case.—We learn the following facts res
pecting a recent robbery committed on board
the cars of the Central Railroad. On Friday
last a young woman took the cars for the
West, at a station a 'short distance beyond
Utica. Her baggage was checked for Buffalo.
After proceding a short - distance upon the jour
tieyi-a woman who was-a fellow passenger,.
with an affected desire to.relieve the lonelf !
tress of the young lady,.took a seat With her,
and became very sociable. She was, in fact
quite attentive, and, among other -marks of
familiarity, offered her protege
,her bottle of
smelling salts, which was accepted and used.
Soon after inhaling the
,pungent odor of the
vinaigrette'she became powerfully affected
by the influence Of some subtle - soporific
agent which it contained, and-fell asleep.
She remained in this unconscious condi
tion for some time, and on recovering from
-her stupor discovered that she had 'been rob
bed of .her purse, baggage checks, &c. On
arrivingat the Clyde station she made known
the facts to the conductor, and the railroad
men made up a sufficient sum to take her to• ,
her destination. This circumstance deVel
opes' a new and dangerous :scheme' for . the
robbery of unsuspecting persons on the rail
way trains. Doubtless the female adept had
,caused her victim to inhale the vapor of chlo
roform, and - thus - had'her fullv in her power
while She perpetrated the robbery. If they
carry on their i operations to the extent of ta- ,
king baggage, also, it is a still More serious
.business: Let every one be cautious about
encouraging, the:approaches of plausible stran
gers on the . cars.—Rochester American Jan
uary 23. •
Another "Infernal Machine" Case at Cia-
.
A diabolical attempt was made on Monday
evening to destroy the'family • of Mr:' Cyrus
Swishelm, at Cincinnati, the 'particulars •of
which the Enquirer gives
"On,ihe evening hi question,. Mr". 'Swis
helm and family, consisting of five persims,
were seated around the fire, wheh a huge ball
descended the, chimney, and-bouncing into
the fire, rolled in a bright blaze into the mid-
did of the floor,. It was made of Cotton satu
rated With turpentine, and during its brief
contact wilt the fire; had become ignited.
Luckily,,a pail of, water was .standing near,
and Mr. Swishelm, catching the burning ball
in hiS . hand, instantly immersed it in the wa
ter and extinguished it. - Upon opening the
ball, it was found to be filled with .gunpow
der and slugs, and fortunate indeed was it for
Mr. Swishelm and his family that the water
.was near, as citherwise he says 'Ha would
have hurled it into the 'fire, in whicty case,
in all probability, it. would have been our,
painful,• province to have, recorded another
event
,as horrible in',its details as that which .
