Our Common Sehools. Our Want»-No. 3. We want men as school Directors, who possess a spirit of self-denial, and who are willing to make sacrifices for the good of the cause. It is one whtch demands these characteristics, and he who dues not possess them, is not the man to whom so important a trust should be oommitted.— Eyery earnest school Director lias learn ed from his own experience that the work requires a large development of these qualifications. Why ? Ist. It is a gratuitous work. Every other office, however unimport. ant in its character, affords some remun eration for the time and labor required in the discharge of its duties ; but, this " one, though involving a large amount of labor and responsibility, is wholly gratu itous. So great have been their respon sibilities during the last three or four years, owing to the extra duties imposed by the Legislature in the provisions of the Bounty laws, without any remunera tion, that the position in many cases be came an excessive burden. Whilst all ' other offices of public trust were remun erated, no provision was made to reward School Directors for their labor. This i extra labor is now happily over, and it is j to be hoped may never again be needed ; [ and especially, that the school cause may never again be so much crippled by the imposition of duties upon Direotors which have no bearing upon the interests of the schools. Still, though relieved of these labors, the duties of School Direotors are, by no means, light. Much time, labor and no little care and anxiety, especially in rural districts, are required. All this demands self-denial and more or less sac rifice. If those who occupy this position have not these characteristics, the cause of the Common Schools will suffer under their supei vision. Whilst it is reasona ble that men who perform these onerous duties should be remunerated. Still the mere motive uf pecuniary compensation is not sufficient. Men who were not in terested in the sohool cause when (he work was gratuitous, are not likely to be the right kind ot men to have charge of its interests when paid for their labor.— We want men in this work willing to exercise whatever of self-denial may be required, not for the pecuniary reward, but for'the love.of the cause itself. This is t.he only motive that can call out the right men. and hence in the selection of men for School Directors, these are the ones who should be chosen. 2d. It is a thankless work. No one it ii presumed will dispute tli a declaration, l'oubtless there is NO work for which men receive so little thanks, and so many com plaints. There are but few who faith fully perform their duties in this offioe, who do not incur the displeasure of some of their neighbor*. It has been my very unpleasant priv ilege to hear complaints uttered often against men who were conscientiously striving to discharge their duties. There are so many unreasonable people—of all meu preserve us frim such—that dissat isfaction-complaints and injust criticisms upon the acU of i ireotors are insepara bly connected with the office. If Borne unruly urchin happens to bi pnuished smartly, then forth with tb< teacher must bedismissed.and it.the Direc tors do not at once ooa ply with this de mand the child is kept at home and dirt anathemas are hurled at them for refusal That tometimet there are justifiable case; of this kind is doubtlesa true, but the) are exoeptions. If the Directors, wishing to promote fixt best interests of the schools, as the; are in d.yty bound to do in every possible way, purchase some maps or school ap paratus for the purpose of aiding the pu pita is the branches taugh and of facilitating their progress, then there came up from far and near, mur merings load and long for auch extrava gance. Man who are to introduce every modern improvement for the culti vation of their land, and who become greatly interested in well trained horses and fine cattle, growl most piteously at Directors when increase some expense is incurred to facilities for the training of their children in those branches assential to their usefulness and happiness in so ciety. And so we might goon, at great leagtli, and enumerate the many causes of dis satisfaction and of complaint agaiust Di rectors, showing that the work indeed in a thankless one, and henco requires men possessed of the spirit of self-denial and a willingness to make whatever may be required in order to promote the eaufo. and confer upon the rising genera tion the priceless boon of a well trained and well stored mind.
