Post Rotal, Pa., Dec 21, 1S80.
EniToa : Dear Sir, After reading
ronr statements of the actions of certain
li.. a kA iuij . .f :
i scents oceratine in this Countv. I ; " B ' ""
. . , ! the clot should expire, and yon will
' Cl: -. .i... ..,: o n ;t i these lovers of hamani'y the sum of
ne to rite on that stiMect, as this tidal i -
OBe . . . ,,: .. , .u- ! time $15,000, or $210,000. But if theel
this 5 years at- die under, therefore, this
table of expectations used by the New York
Mutual it certainly correct. S oppose only
20 of the class would die the Brut year, eich
member weuld pay 20 assessments of $1.00
each, also $5.00 arising from this 25 cents
extra, and the 1000 members thereby would
pay $J,000 to the company, which, with the
$3,000, would make $3,000 for the erst year
of yonr class. Now if the class could be
kept full till the 35 years expire, one mem
ber would pay his $1,000, also $2.50 to ex
pense account, beside $.00 first payment,
also hit 35 annua payments of $1.00. Now
if thit class could be kept full there would
annually past into the company's hands the
the sum of this $5,000, and also, the $1,000
annual dues, also, the initiation fee .n the
28 new members, that enter to kep the
class full, this will bring the further snm of
$140, for by tbis time they can discharge
their army of agents, and do the Hno wdik
from a central office. Carry this income

The last, bat b uu means least (Indeed
in many communities the greatest) impedi
ment to common school work is the want of
co-operation among parents and teachers. In
too many communities the parents work one
way and the t.-acher the opposite. Apply
here the great principle of Political Kcoao
my with reference to Labor and Capital,
and you will see its counterpart the tnb
stance of thit principle it thit manufactor
ies are built up only by the co-operation of
labor and capital. Now, applying the tame
to our schools, we have a parallel case,
namely, that our common school are built
np only by the co-operation of parents -and
teachers ; and in the same proportion tint
this rinciple is carried out in practice will
the woik advance. The principle with re
gard to education is just as true at the one
concerning manufactories. Eeccive the
one, and yon must receive the other ; reject
the one, and you reject the other. There
is a great work to be accomplished by the
parent and tcber individually, bnt there is
a rutieh prtater work that may be accom
plished by a co operation of both. Each
w ill be rewarded in proportion as be does

Why, a few dis ago a certain doctor, ac
companied by a minister of tbe gospel, came
over from Perry county, and insured the life
of one of worthy old ladies In Port Koyal.
I suppose the minister seldom reads, "Thou
shalt taKe no money in thy purse, neither
two coats." Probably he thinks there is
more lelhtnce to be placed in an immense
policy than in these ancient instructions.
But let us hope, for the honor of his calling,
that be was only a spectator to that transac
tion. If he was concerned iu this specula
tion, he should have stopped on the top ot
Tnsearora mountain, is he was then nearer
Heaven thin he is likely ever to be again.
The oiilv real good feature in these com
panies is, that alter you bate bought your
witciea'lyyou can draw out. Since old
people are in dematd they should make
speculators pay well fur their policies. It
is not every person that h is the honor of
being SO years of a;re, and a sura of money
might cvine very handy wilh which to hire
persons to guatd your bed when you are
ei Jo iug the rest thai should belong to tbe
aged.
And now, Mr. Editor, perhaps I am all
wrong when I notice the great number of
philanthropists I thiuk Ihe Millennium has
come. This is but a fraction of what might
be written, and if yon can find room fori
this, since tbe ice is broken others will take
up the fight, and the community will be
warned, until our Legislature arises from
their sleep. Tou neer knew a .uore in

curity under the sun has a poiicy-holder for
his money when dun I Most persons who
have their lives insured would require tbe
best security of their neighbor for uiouey
loaned, but will risk Urge sums with these
entire strangers. What else can we think
than that tlw insured belong to one of tbe
tliree following classes : First, those that
ht e more money than they can use; or,
they know they are diseased, and wish to
act fraudulently; or, they are no tinaiM-.iers,
are not acquainted with the simplest rules
of Arithmetic. But these companies gen
erally take in moneyed men. and they can
afford to pay for their expedience, and this
article would seem to be unnecessary as tbe
people are well acquainted wilh these
agents, and being mostly strangers, are
treated accordingly, and the business has
declined in the rural districts, and the peo
pie weie sale; but now, as you know, an
infamous act has been passed bv our angust
Legislature, that makes it possible to estab
lish an institution on a plan of mutual ex
penses, and benefits, principally the former,
in any town or county, aud as all the stores,
offices and shops are filled with ihe pros
pectuses of companies of men that have
just now found out how dear the people are
to them, especially those poor old men
verging on bO years, that they seem to think
they can take better care of tbem than their
Maaer. Has the Millennium come I
Xow, as the first part of this communica
tion has dealt with a dying fraud, tbe latter
part will deal with a very live one, aud tbe
greatest that this country ever grappled
with. These mutual plans form their in
sured into classes a very good way to form
boys into, in school ; but when you form
boys of 85 years into classes it means much
more. When France takes her census, she
does it all io one day, by having an army of
enumerators. These companies operate on
the same plan before the Legislature knocks
tbe bottom out of it, or the people knock
the bottom out of tbem. The Sat has gone
forth from all quarters of this Common
wealth, agents wanted, $2.00 fee to the in
sured, and the meanest part is. you will find
your nearest and best friend will try to take
yon in. Let me illustrate this ickeme. First
class consists of members aged 20 to 85
27 J years is an average, and a full class of
1000 would pay to the company the sum of
$3000, and to the agents $2000, and during
the time insured would pay 28 assessments,
yearly, for the whole class will past away in
35 years, or that it the time that if nuuier
out cla&aet were formed they would past
away, and be is" just as likely to live o'v

LETTER FROM EAST SALEM.
East Salkm, Pa., Dec. 23, 1880.
Editor Sntintl and Repnb'.icun Dear Sir,
As it is seldom that an article from Our sec
tion of the county appears in jour worthy
paper, it is our purpose to wriie a small one
on the Impediments to our Common School
Woik, which article, if you deem worthy,
you may insert.
At we observe the progress of onr educa
tional interests in the present centnry, we
cannot but notice that there are still many
obstacles, which, uutil they are removed,
will present insunnountable barriers to tbis
great, grand work. We cannot but feel that
the citizens of Juniata county are recreant
to a duty, gnat and responsible, which
every parent owes to his children, and
every teacher to his pupils. As said, these
impediments are numerous, seme of which
are much more impressing than others, in
deed from which neatly all others appear to
originate.
One of tbe first and greatest impediments
to this work is the lack ot interest on the
part of the parent. To a very great extent
the future happiuess and prosperity or mis
ery and want or a child will depend on the
disposal of his early life. Truly has it been
said, "The boy is father to tbe man." If
every parent could but realize all that it
contained in these seveu simple" words,
many more than do might go down to the
grave, rejoicing iu the good work accom
plished by their children. Who hath mis
ery aud woe 7 Who but tbe parent that be
holds his child plunge into vice and crime,
characteristics of an uncultivated mind.
Who hath peace and joy I Who but the
parent that sees his fondest hopes realised
in a dutiful and obliging ton, whose mind
has received snch a cultivation as will char
acterize him, nothing less a man. O parent,
cannot you realize the great, the pressing
responsibility resting upon you that of ed
ucating your children, and thereby bringing
upon your declining years the blessings of
a cultivated and obedient progeny J
Another, and no less important barrier to
the work of education, lies in tbe teacher
himself. Too often do we enter a school
room and there find the teacher incapable
of performing the work intrusted to his
care. It is now time for the teacher to
awaken to a knowledge of the woik before
hidi, and properly prepare himself for its
execution ; for at certain at the body of a
tree cannot give tap to its branches until it
first receives tbe same, to certain it it that
tbe teacher cannot impart to his pupils the
rudiments of an education until he first re
ceives tbem. Many promising youths have
been ruined by inactivity on the part of the
teacher, which inactivity must have origi
nated either, from incompetency for the tit
nation, or from negligence to doty..
aud tbe tree will yield spiringly.

If yon failed to see the eclipse on the snn

you will have to go so far south as to tbe
