Eizhtv-uiue schools have - uniform serie; i
of bjoks, and eig':ty'-fiir are uii.idiing well

the school is not well classified the teacher
is not always directly biaiueahle. Parents

its wants ; or a child is compelled to remain
iu the second reader longer than there is j .
any teed, just b -cause the parents treat the
mat:er as though it were of little impor
tance. Under these adverse and deplora
hie circumstances the teacher does the best
he cau ; but fully half his efforts prove
fruitless. We speak of various kinds of
hindrances to progressj but, alter all, the
book question is e hindrance. We always
have books, but never the right kind or
grade. Though the law aiiows a change
every three years, yet if a school board
e-flect a change in ten .' ears to secure uni
formity, aa iu the case of Walker and Tus
carora ltst fall, parents clamor and refuse
to get necessary books promptly at even a
trilling sum. The trouble will never be
fully and finally settled until we have thor
cmih legislation on it. Let us have a la
prohibiting changes oltener ihan every ten
years and then have the books lurnished
Iree, the teacher cart then give the pupil
tbe kind and grade of book it needs the
first day it enters school, no time will be
lost, bojks will be instantaneously uniform,
classification pcr'ect, progress w ill be one
fourth better, and money will be caved.

Tnii-teen vubl' j examinations were held.
and on applieaat was eianiined privately
to fiil a vacancy. One hundred and twenty
seven provisional certificates were issued,
two were endorsel, and six applicants were
rejected. The examinations were almost
entirely w.itten. but this caused no lack of
interest on the part of directors and citi
zens. Scenty-two directors ere present
at the different examinations, and in niatiy
places accommodations were too small for
all who came to witness the trial and de
portment of thoso who were u to ba en

two. Better satisf Ktion Could be rendered

Directors aud parents are beginning to see
that ia order to teach successfully, two
things or couditi-.ns aro necessary : Fust,
the teacher rpust have a knowledge ot the
laws of the mind be is about to train, and,

Many of our teachers aro yolirig and inex

six years. During the year aieteen taught

and twenty niore had taught lew! than ox

years, and righty-..iue tUnft iheir nleut.on

een that those who have learned by exoe-
rience to impart instruction an. constantly
leaving the profusion, and their places
must U filled by tyros, who in turn leave
us as on as they are somewhat prepared
lor i Cective sc.hol room labor. This state
of things will' exist just as long a teachers' '
wages are iusutlictent to supoit tlicuiselves
and family. How to remedy this difficulty
has ever been and still continues to be k
problem. I may instance also that of the
Hve partial failures iu the county, four were
teachers who never taught beiore. I do not
say this to discuuiage any one who may be
prepa.ing to "pass the examination," for as
long as the eider ones leave, their places
must ba supplied f uui the recruiting lUt
a Decessry evil, as it weri. The.succuss
lul schools were those taught by experienc
ed teachers, and this class was genrriy
uccsstul, with oue or two exceptions,
"here the mustert were too indolent, ot had
something else to engage their atleutior:
and atl'ectious. School officials should be
t-ustaiued in their eB'orts to keep out of the
teachers' ranks any and ail who, after a fair
trial, have proven themelves unworthy,
either by reason of want of tact to teach.

business, and ought to be allowed to do his

These annual meetings are growing in in
terest from year to year iu the good work
they are doing, which is ailested ly the
fact that they are so largely attended by
teachers, directors and citizens. The
teachers of Juniata seem to regard it as a
privilege to attend them, and we have, con
sequently, no trouble to secure a large at
tendance ut our Countv Institute, which

points, ours was the most successful Insti

11L.de to bring out home talent, and iu this
we were successful in au eminent degree.
Fully one-third of the time was consumed
bv speakers of our own county. Instruc

No one can estimate the amount of good
done by these meetings. They afford pro
fessional training, no much needed by the
large number of ir.ex-erienced teachers
annually employed, a ueir tendency ' is to
elevate teaching to tbe dignity of a profes
sion. The general masses are enlightened,
and made acquainted wifh fhe immediate
trials of the teacher, and thereby brought

In the quarry at Huntingdon where stone,
arc being taken oat to build the foundation
for the new Penitentiary, a terrible explo
sion took place on the 22d. Three men,
Michsrl Kyan, of Philadelphia, Joseph Kan
eoroni, of Huntingdon, and John Keefe, of
LocK Haven, put three kegs of powder 111 a
crevice of the rocks, and, while stamping
the powder with an iron rod, started the
explosion. The explosion blew the bodies
ot the unfortunate men literally to atoms.
Tbse of Rancoroni snd Keefe were
thrown over the tops of the surround
ing trees and carried for a distance of at
least one hundred and fifty feet across a
rsvine, where they were- gathered rp in
small pieces. The body of Rytra, tt.6 scb
couiractnr. was thrown Into the Juniata
river, a distance of about three hundred j
yards from tbe scene of the explosion. His
remains were not recovered for live hours
afterward. Another workman, named
James, was so terribly shocked by the fear
ful explosion as to be entirely bereft of his
hearing.
