The Visit to Ilnrritbitrg. [The following account of this inter esting event in the history of the schools, is mainly taken from the Philadelphia 1 nquirer] IlAßßisni'RO, March 1G; 1800. Three hundred and forty-five orphans of deceased Pennsylvania soldiers,arrived here to-day, from the schools at McAllis tcrville, Mount Joy and Paradise. The girls and boys were neatly and uniform iy clothed, the former in brown hoods, 11luck cloth cloaks and checked froeks, und the latter in dark blue gold-laced caps, roundabouts and gray pantaloons. Each [party had its drum corps. The McAllisterville school, of which Col. G. F. McFarland is principal, contains 84 boys and 62 girls; that of Paradise, of which Mr. Seymour Preston is principal, 65 boys and 54 girls; and that of Mount •Joy, of which Mr. J. 11. Carothers is principal, 53 boys and 35 girls. They were loudly cheered on arring at the Cap itol, where they were taken charge of by the citizens who entertained them. At 4 o'clock, p. m , they appeared be fore the members of both Ilnusos of tho Legislature. In the hall of the House* which was crowded with ladies and gen tlemen, Governor Curtin and Speaker Fleming, of the Senate,occupied seats on either side of Speaker Kelley, of the House. Hon. Tlios. 11. Burrowes, Stetc Superintendent of Soldier's and Sailor's Otphans being introduced, spoke at length, explaining the system of educa ting and maintaining the orphans. He said the children present only represen ted one third of the orphans in the more advanced schools, and about one fifth of the whole number now in charge of the State. He said it had been noised abroad. _ that these children had "been starved, kept'dirty and without clothing, mid lie directed the attention of tho aud ience to the little folks present, and ask ed them to say, whether the report was true. Not a sick boy was left behind; all were healthy. lie then called on the children for songs, vecitations, and other exercises,—Col. Mcl'arland, teacher of I he McAllisterville School, taking charge of the exercis s. ' Rally Around the Flag Boys," was then sung with great spirit, especially by the girls. Master Henry Albert, of the McAl listerville School, made the opening speech, in which ho, on the part of the orphans of Pennsylvania, thanked the Governor, the soldiers' friend, and the Legislature, for their liberality in provi ding homes for them. His delivery was fine, and his words were gieeted with applause. The girls from Mount Joy then sang the "Bear Old Flag." Master David Leche, from Paradise, delivered an original address, which he spoke wilh real eloquence. Ho thanked , the citizens of Harrisburg for their kind ly entertainment of his fellow orphans, which they could appreciate. The boys of Paradise sang "Uncle Sam is rich enough to send us all to School," to the great amusement of the audience. Master Hubert Booz, of Bristol, Bucks county, son of a cOlor-Scrgeant, killed in the Pennsylvania Reserves, spoke pa thetically of the fallen heroes, and the care their orphans were now receiving; and the McAllisterville School, sang the ' Little Octoroon." Master George Jacobs, of the McAl listerville School, recited the "Orphan's Appeal," an original poem. The Mount Joy girls then sang "Tent ing on the Old Camp Ground." Edward and Alice Prinkwatcr, Para dise, spoke an amusing dialogue on "Life Insurance." The McAllisterville Drum Corps then played "Yankee Hoodie." Master Severns, son of a dee'd Penn sylvania Reserve soldier, recited "Our Fathers," having reference to tho fath ers who fell in the recent war. He said, if need be in future, when they should have reached the age of manhood, they would "rally around the flag" like their fathers. The McAllisterville School sang "On ! on! on!" a sequal of "Tramp! tramp! tramp!" This was greeted with great enthusiasm. Maurice Fitery, of Paradise School, from Harrisburg, delivered an oration on "Our Heroes." Ilis reference to Abm. Lincoln and universal emancipation, was loudly cheered. Paradise school sang "The Angel's W olcome." Daniel llcedor, of McAllisterville, de livered a poem. Master Captain Fry, of McAllister ville, spoke of the battles of the war.— His reference to Governor Curtin was warmly received. The valedictory was delivered by Mas ter William Hunter, son of a former member of the Ist P. V. He promised that the boys would improve, tendering •thauks to Superintendent Burrowes and the teachers. The exercises closed by signing "Tho Orphan's Prayer," by the McAllister ville school, which brought tears to many eyes not uuused to weeping. BI'KECH OF GOV. CURTIN. The Governor being called upon, said:— • 1 have boen in the habit of addresing the Legislature for several years past,but only in obedience to the directions id' the Constitution. I would add a word to what we have heard. 1 could say much if I thought it was nec essary. But there is more in the mute eloquenc and sad silence of those chil dren,—more than I can say. I pledged to the brave men who were encamped here, and all over the Commonwealth, ; when they were about togo into the pub- ! lie service, that if tlicy fell on the field i of battle, we would take care of their orphan children. (Cheers.) A voice—"We will." My words were applauded. Orators and journalists pledged themselves to tho work. Just bclore the battles I said it to thousands ; and after the battles,when chaplain, and priest and good men pour-1 ed the words of comfort and spiritual consolation into tho ears of the dying,— I said, your children shall be protected, j (('hecrs-) If it may b*. Ido not desire i war. lam opposed to war. I trust our country may never he called upon again to engage in war. We have shed blood enough ; but if war should come again, here are the boys to fight our battles.— They would say, "My father died for his country' the State pledged itself that his sons and daughters should be maintain ed at public expense; that pledge was redeemed ; I would be an in "rate to my country and my State if I fa ; led to offer my life on the same shrine with my brave dead father." (Cheers.) I knew that n State so great, so grand, ■ ) noble as Pennsylvania, w >uld not turn these children out. I koow that it will not turn them out—the boys to crime and misery, the girls to worse—God for bid it should. One morning, when the people were gathered in their places of worship, in obedience to my call, to give thanks to Almighty God for the victor ies vouchsafed to u*, three little ragged children appealed to aie for alms as I stepped from my doorway. 1 learned they were children of soldiers who had fallen in defence of the country. What was nij train of thought then I said to myself, H it possible that the people of Pennsylvania, thanking God for victory, can do so when tho children of the brave men who brought us the fiuits of hard fighting, and giinad us our victories, are on the streets bogging for bread. (Ap plause.) This beneficence, gentlemen, is there suit. Pennsylvania has something where of to be proud; she has taken the lead in this matter. Other States have followed her. Ohio has such a system. Connect icut if about inaugurating it. It was only to-day wo forwarded to her in obedience to his request, the plan em braced in our system. Other States will soon follow our example. What a thing to bfc proud of. All over the Common wealth, after a great war, tho greatest the world has ever seen, exhausting our en ergies, attacking our borders and crip pling our finances, —wo have been able to pay our debts, and at the same time take care of our soldiers children. We boast of the liberality of our people, we boast of our extended charities. I know how beautiful they sound and how noble they really are; but no charity of this age or of the past can compare with this. (Ap plause.) Were itnot for these soldiers,my friends this Capitol would be in ashes, tho whole State would he sacked, burned and ruin ed, death, and fire, and desolation would have passed over this good old State,and the fair land would have been smitten with it. lam not here to persuade you. These children are not here to affect pub lic opinion ; they are here only, that the people may see and judge for themselves. If you are satisfied, then L ask you to con tinue this beneficent plan. But if you are not satisfied, let those children go. Voices—' Never, never, never." I will not say more ; yes, I may as well add something; you uiay as weli know it now. If this licgislrture adjourn with out doing these little people justice-;- if it neglect its duties, let me say, gentle men, I have the power to call you back. (Immense cheering.) Before L leave this 1 pray God that the electric spark may fall upon all: that we may all determine to do justice to the poor orphan children, and that we may thus do ourselves and our great Commonwealth an honor.— (Cheers.) After the exercises the children flock ed around the Governor, to whom they were introduced, and who manifested great interest in them. Tho boys then adjourned to the public grounds, where they were engeaged in drilling and mili tary tactics until supper time. On Friday morning all the schools, with their teachers, called upon the Gov ernor at the the Executive Chamber, and had a most delightful, and to them memorable interview. There was no speech making or other cold formality ; but the Soldiers Orphan's were received by the Soldiers'friend, in a manner which evidently niadeja deep and the right im pression upon their young hearts. It was very cheering to them to be told, by such high authority, that their visit was not only a pleasure to himself, the Legis lature and the citizens of Harrisburg, but their own conduct had bceen such as to reflect credit upon their heroic fathers and the State. After the termination of this reception tho schools repaird to tho Court House, which was crowded to its utmost capacity and repeated the exercises of the prece ding afternoon with several other addres cs, to the evident satisfaction of tho aud ience. Again Governor Curtin addressed tho assemblage, as did also Col. Allen, a soldier and member of the House of Ilepresentaiiv.es from Warren county, and Mr. Lee a member of the House from Philadelphia. Want of space pre vents the giving even of a brief report of the eloquent and appropriate remarks of these gentlemen ; but they were fully appreciated by those to whom they were so kindly and cheeringly addressed. It would be as pleasant as it would be credible to the schools, to iusert here the addresses of the pupils, but want of room again forbids. \Vc cannot, how ever deny the reader tho pleasure of pe rusing "The Soldiers' Orphans' Appeal," written for the occasion by Mrs. N. Eys- Harrisburg, and recited by Geo. Jacobs of the McAllistcrvilie school.— While delivering the first five stanzas, with his face to the audience, the atten tion and interest were such as have not often been exceeded ; but when, on com mencing tho sixth, he turned round and addressed the Governor, the effect was such as to make an impression which no one who watched the scene can ewr for get.

On last Friday evening, Mr. Jno. Ayres of this place, left his shop for home, about 10 o'clock, P. M., in usual health —having felt rather indisposed for some time past. On reaching home he in formed Mrs. Ayres that ho felt unwell. He soon went to bed, but finding his in disposition increasing, he got up and, with .he assistance of his lady, seated himself in a rocking chair. Hut findim; it difficult to remain long there, he again was helped to bed. A physician was at once sent for, but before any assistance could be procured, he expired, after a few parting words to his wife. His im mediate illness did not last more than an hour and a half. Heart disease was the trouble. He leaves a large circle of friends neighbors to mourn his loss ; aged 55 years and 9 days. Admitted to tltc Bar. Lieutenants George Fl ei'ger and Joseph 15.

To the .School Directors of Kutler County. GK NTI.KML'.N In this number of the CITIZEN you will see the notice of the tri-annual Convention of School Direc tors. You will also observe that you are to meet on the first Tuesday of May in stead of the first Monday, as heretofore. This change has been effected by an act of the Legislature. In this connection, 1 am constrained, from a deep sense of its great importance te the cause of ed ucation anil our Common School System, to suggest to you the propriety of spend ing a short time, after the main business of the Convention is closed, in devising and urgin» some measures whereby the interests of the Schools may be promoted and the system developed. The time has fully come, when some forward steps may betaken. We have struggled through a gigantic rebellion, and its blighting efleCts have been felt upon our Schools. But we have reason to be thankful that we have passed through the ordeal with, comparatively, so little injury to the Schools Whilst the School Department is, doubtless, willing to recommend and urge measures calculated to advance the School cause, yet if it is perceived that those who are most closely identified with the Schools and the people, are taking the initiatory steps, it "will, with greater confidence,"bring its influence to bear in whatovei measures aro conducive to the end proposed. If all the Conventions at their tri-an nual meetings were to take into consid eration sone of the most urgent wants of the School system, great and good results would certainly follow. Whilst other things may be suggested to your minds, I would respectfully present for the consid eration of the Convention the importance of taking some steps looking to the ex tension of the School term. This is one ef our greatest wants. The most of our districts have but four months schooling during the year, and hence it is not strange that there is so little progress.— This is one of the caufcs. Nor is there much hope that the term will bo extend ! cd in the great majority of the districts, until required by an act of the Legisla ture. This will bo done so soon as there is evidence that it is desired by the peo i pie, and a liberal increase in the State appropriation will also, without doubt be freely granted. What we want now is, action! We dare not, in this crisis of the School system, fold our arms in sto ical indifference. With the earnest hope that the interest in the work which has prompted these suggestions may be re ciprocated, they arc presented. A. H. WATERS. Our Common SCIIOOIM. ourWante-Xo. 3. We want well qualified teachers. | Of all our wants, this,doubt less, is the | greatest and most difficult to supply. An experience of several years in the work of teaching—the advantages derived from our intimate association with schools and teachers, together with the knowledge acquired from an examination of practi cal works on the art of teaching, arc enough we suppose, to exonerate us from any charge of ignorance or assumption in undertaking to specify the particu lar qualifications requisite to constitute a good Common School teacher. Thess are A good judgment. ' This is one of the chief qualifications necessary to success in the work of teaching. A defective judgment will seriously, if not fatally in-j tcrferc in the successful prosecution of ! any work,and especially that of training. , theyouth. Wo have known many who poss i ess'nghighiy cultivated minds, but wautin™ ! in judgment,, never succeeded as tcach • ers. Good judgmect is essential in School government , the teacher is the autocrat in his little oommunity. He must make and execute the laws necessary for the government of the School, and as the : variety of cases brought before him for consideration is great and ever varying, : the exercise ot sound judgment is de ! manded to meet them. lu this, many i teachers fail and become involved iu trou« He from which they cannot extricate themselves, except by dissolving their ! connection with the School. More attention shoifld be paid to the ; cultivation of this faculty of the mind. With some there is a uatural superiority i,n this, as in other faculties, but in all I the judgment is undoubtedly susceptible of great improvement. An extensive course of mental training iu which the mind is compelled to deal with a great ( variety of studies, and to compare ideas and truths, the judgment is exercised and developed, The great majority of those who are teachers in our Common Schools have never eujoyed such a course of mental training and hence the faculty I is but little developed. Institutions which have as their special object, the j training of teachers, should have some . study pursued having particular refer ence to the cultivation of this faculty. In the employment of teachers this i important requisite shoujd not be over ■ looked, and indeed, as far as possible, should be mode an essential qualification. Closely allied to this qualification is 2. Age. It is a sad necessity which has required the employment of so many - very young teachers. Such have, for the most part, neither the judgment nor the experience essential to success, though , they may be sufficiently well versed iu 3 the branches to be taught. The School . system has suffered greatly from this j cause. Nor could it be avoided without . perhaps greater injury. Thousands of experienced teachers entered the service t of their country, and their places were t of necessity, to be supplied with new C teachers, who were generally quite young . and inexperienced. In some instances they succeeded remarkably well, but in the majority the success was not at all such , as was desirable. The law docs not fix a , period under which teachers should be 3 prohibited from taking charge of public 1 schools. It were well, perhaps, if it did, s as then there would not bo so much haste j to enter the work, and more time would , be occupied in preparation. Superinten r denis examine and issue certificates to the applicants and often they are disposed to t reject persons on account of their youth fulness, and yet they have sustained so < good an examination that they hesitate, t in view of the possibility of their being 1 quite successful as teachers. If a certain > age were fixed by law, which in some t cases', it would, perhaps, act unjustly in 1 the great number, it would bo a most , wholesome provision, and the schools , would be supplied with old el- and more ex , pericnecd teachers. One of the disadvantage- under which the youthful tcaeHfer 1 -is the a ■ of that in/i'ft which ir ye only can com mand. Children are taught to respect p age iu every well governed household, , and if it is found in the school, as it r dily is, that the toucher is but little old [ er than many anil younger than some of . the scholars, their feelings of respects arc at once lessened, and the least error that is committed is eagerly seized and turned to his disadvantage. In every school there aro always some scholars whose constant effort is to "stall" the ( teacher, especially if he is younger than themselves. < (Id and cxporienced teach , ers arc not so easily " stalled". Not al ways, indeed, because of superior attain-' ment, but because they better under! tand how to manage such critics. But there of still greater force why age is an essential qualification in a good teacher. The mind of man is not a simple ma chine whose motions can be understood j. and studied in a day. There is no mech anism so complicated. The profoundest philosopher have made it a life study,and yet profess not to understand its wonder ful workings. Should the training and development of such an incomprehensi ble mechanism as the Human Mind be committed to novices ? Is it possible for youths, who yet in their mental vision, have but a glimmctming perception of the natures and powers of those minds ■ which they propose to train and develop, 1 to properly understand and discharge so : responsible a duty ? Under the force of ' circumstances there has been a necessity I for the introduction of teachers too young, 1 and it may still bo necessary, for a time ■ but every instrumentality should now be ! employed to call into the educational ranks i those whose age and experience have fur i : nished with good judgment and mature ■ | minds. Amongst the ancients it was supposed . that the Sun was a. chariot of fire drawn by fiery steeds. "Pharthon, son of He lias the sean-god, extracted from his father an oath that he would grant him whatever he wished. The and am bitious youth instantly dcmanJed permis sion to guide the solar chariot for uue day. llelias aware of ihe consequences, remon strated. but to no ]iurj.o>e. The jontli persisted, and the god, bound bv his oath, reluetently committed the reins to his hands, warning him of the dangers of the road, and instructing him to avoid them. Pharthon grasped the reins, the flamo breathing steed sprang forward, but soon aware that they were not directed by the well known hand, they ran out of their . course ; the world was set on liro and a total conflagration would have ensued, had not Jupiter, at the prayer of earth, launch ed his thunder, and hurled the terrified driver from his seat." The white bolt, called the Milky Way that wiuds its tor tuose path across the heavens,<\v;ts tho't to be the path caused by the chariot at this time. This is a mythalogieal narra tive, but ooutains a lesson well adapted to our present purpose. There are thou sands of very young persons entrusted with the training of the Unman mind who, unquestionably, are as unfit to train the mental faculties and develop their power aright, us l'harthon was to hold the reins and" direct the fiio breathing steeds. Ihe result of such mental culture is a fearful waste of' time, and a sad d varfing j of the brightest intellects. We must have experienced hands to hold the educational reins—to train these immortal powers so that their natural vi vacity may not, by unskillful hands, be suffered to run into wild and hurtful va garies or be cramped and stunted for the want of proper development.
