The writings of nature V farfUnicd bard, William Siiaksi'lauk. contain portraits of the living as well as of the dead, and impressively illustrate the truth that human nature varies but little from age to age. We have arranged and copied below, for the entertainment of the readers of the Chronicle, a number of quotations from Shakpeare, and prefixed to them the names of such famous or at hast notorious characters of our day, as ! they seem to clearly point out.

ProPcr penormance t iuav uUlJ, sU .a . ffect tIje original design cf the liberal and far-seeing legislature wnicn esiaonsnea j the office, will be of incalculable benefit to j the State ; and the contrary will be equally ; injurious. It is, therefore, our design, as one amongst tbe thousands of I'ennsylva- nians who are watching the workings igs ox this new feature in our educational system ... ' . with intense interest, frankly to state tbe . 1 t l . 1 conclusions io wnicu our ooservauoos uare led. Three years ago, few Directors or others bad any dear view of the necessity, nature, mode of operation, or probable results of this office. The natural consequences were. ia the first instance, numerous mistakes in : selection and compensation. These have e, .ur, io ..j .... r .k. . ..ttUA niirnn 1 to defeat the office, cut of general hostility ! to the system itself. In a few asses, this j ,-t: u.A infloan hut in i mc lb. action comnlaiaed ef really erew ! eut of mere want of knowledge of the nature of the offioe itself, and an honest belief that su.han add.U.n to the expense and tha working machinery af the system wu wholly unnecessary. Whatever may have been the cause, it is certain that tha duty of selecting County Superintendents was so performed as to produoe ana of tba three following results : Either, 1. An incompetent person was chosen, who failed, no matter what tha salary. Or, 2. A competent person was ohosoa,who failed, ar was crippled io his operations, by total inadequacy of salary. Or, 3. A competent person was selected, with adequate salary, who fulfilled the just cxpectatioas of the friends of tba law. From this it weald appear that fitness ia tho person and adequacy of compensa tion are the elements tho essential con- ditions of success. Of course, as in ail ntlior onmnlor afT ir ilirn are instance that appear to conflict with this conclusion; j lut on 1(lM j.ntion they will be found M u F86mpIe : one j Superintendent may have been so well ; fa,i for ,h, gtation .and e devoted to the system, that he discharged its duties at a most shamefully inad.auate salary. But who will arvue from this.that it is the rih j of the public to impose such a burthen on rrivate means' or individual patriotism ? j Or it may have been that all the conditions appeared to be secured both adenuacy of i salary ana "sKiil anu experience in me an I of tn.nlnnit" ret failure ensin d Hut I gKd teacher may have made j a poor Superintendent r Many an able .... - . . . . .. 1J" nittkci n",e"ble J ude ' ,eW ' j tbe m suceessful practising physioians ! re qualified for the Professor's chair; so capital teacher of boye may not succeed as Teacher of Teachers and administrative officer of a complicated school system.

Some ability therefore to speak in public should be embraced among tbe requisites of fitness for tbe office. 4.

Wh ; ,k... ...., in I.,.,. Are .n . m.H. ! ium of qualification ia other respects may sacceed. I Amongst the Qualifications necessarv to this most impertant office, it is, of course, ' not deemed requisite to speak of temper ance, honesty or industry, nor of common sense, suavity of manners, or knowledge of human nature. These are requisites to tbe safe and efficient discharge of every public trust; tbe one in question being no exception to the general rule, bat rather demanding them iu greater degree than most others. Io a word, and aside from j special requisites, the nearer the character j of a County Superintendent approaches to I that of the Christian gentleman, tbe greater ! will be his acceptance and success. The answer to tba question, What is : an adequate salary ? will depend mainly on tbe locality ; and the experience of the past three years will, in maay cases, modi fy past aotion on this point. Many of tha liOBVeaMOUS UUU SUB saiaijr iu uu- der a total or very material mi?apprehen-! Conventions fixed the salary in lbol, uu aion of the nature of the office, the amount : of service renuired and the dri?rce of eood ! to be effreled. Now, in many parts of the : State, all these points are clearly eompre - hmM SDll th; ,elion of the director. will no doubt be diff.rent. No one who I knows the peoplo of Pennsylvania wiil.for a mon ent, suppose that injustice will be ; done in regulating the compensation of i those who are found to be amoncst the I most useful, most laborious and most im- : portant of our publio agents. The salary ; must, as just remarked, depend on tbecir - , cuwstances of each case ; still, certain gen - erai riuipirB am muitaiau uj mi uuum of the office and the wants of the sehaolf. , 'i ' , .

This will wholly depend on the number of Bcbools in the county. If they are materially over 100 and should be increased, then the best po- i licy and the course most productive of g0od, will be to pay for bis whole time and B,i"iM- Io 8Uch Cls" more tLi0 hlf f .ue j.ar .uajr u, uis- ucuemaai.j, uev.i.a to school visitation, which, to be c&oetual, should be full and frequent.

The only other general princip.S) to be u . - , kept id view in arranging tbe salary, is . tbat of making it large enough to coin- mand the very best professional talent within the reach of tbe Convention. For reasons already given, no other should be thought of.

At tbe present time it may be proper to recall to the attention of Conventions to elect County Superintendents, that Section 40 of the school law of 8.h May, 163. co&fer upon the State Superintendent of Cumuion Schools, very considerable powers . , , iu reference to tbe eouimissioninc of tbe fcrsous elected.
