THE OFFICE OF SCHOOL DIRECTOR.
The tl'cht of another year has gathered
the teachers of this county and other friends
of education into this p?ce to share the
duties and enjoy the p'-asures of the four
teenth anuual Institute of Juniata county.
And whilst exchanging our congratulations
and renewing our friendships it is well to

Well supported ai:d sustained by so many !
ttliei.t and gallant snooidinates. Both he j
and you can now i-r.j y the pleasures ot suc
cess, as you have shared the toils of the j
conflict. The task h is betu assigned to lue j
to i;;.ve ycu some plaiu and practical j
tDui!j:h;s on the 0. of School Director.
1. And iu the hrst place we ay i: is an
honorable oGL-e. To the Dire:tir is coiu
luilied by the law of the State the chief
control and management of ihe school edu
catijn of the rising generation. If it is an
hnnor to be eutrusted with the property of
another, how maeh greater is the Lt.nor of
having charge of the isouMing of the cliar
ae:er of luat most precious of ail human
p jssessiuL our children I We honor a
uau for acquitting hitnse'f well in the
sphere tf lite iu which he ni sy be called to
act ; ani his honor is hi'li in pioportion as
Lis duties are onerous atid diiHcult. But
what duties can be moreditlicult, and there
lore mere v.orlLy of hur, than the train
i.g t tliose young immorUls who are col
lected iu the school room The faithful
school director, therefore, st.icds in the
foremost rank of those who deserve well of j
their countrymen. We a.-e all reidy to
praise the tuau sbo has fallen on the battle
field u defence of his C'iHuty , or who has
successfully steered the ship of stale
through tempests that threatened her de
struction. But he that rears a g'joi citizen
confers a grea'er benefit than he that de
stroys one.
2. !t is a responsible office. The law con
feis lon th-' direc;or almost plenary power
as to the whole management of the schools.
He Lu; s the real estate, erects the build
ings, improves tht grounds, and gives all
needful attention to their well-keeping. He
determines the nuniuer of schools in each
district, aud the cumber of pupils in each
school. lie levies the tax to be raised lor
school purposes, and controls its expendi
ture, as weil as all other school moneys in
the dUtrict. He invades the sacred jce
cincis of the fatuilt circle, and sends the
children to school, unbidden of their pa
rents, and not utilrequently against their
expressed will. According to bis sovereign
plwure, he lakes one hook out of the
child's hand and puts another iu ; dictating
what bocks shall be used, and what shall
not be used. With the same almost impe
rial power, he employs the teacher, uuin
fluenced by citizen, neighbor or parent. He
also has power, tor sntlicicnt cause, both to
discharge the teacherand suspend the pupil.
These are only a few of tLe powers aud re
sponsibilities devolved by the law on the
director; and surely they are ample enough
and weighty enough to weigh down bis
office wi:h a heavy pressure. In the light
of time and eternity, I ask, what township
office, what county office, what state office,
is equal to it I Other offices are concerned
mainly with the material interests and bodily
comforts of the people; but this claims
cognizance o-er the intullec tual and moral
powers.
3. It is an office both of great difficult
and great delicacy. The questions to be de
cided are so numerous and various as to
require the most masterly skill in deciding
them. The acquh-ing of real estate, when
the owner is willing neither to sell nor to
lease ; the lev) ing of the tax, so as to nice
ly and duly adjust the proportion betwuen
the wants of the schools and the ability of
the tax-payers ; the location of the houses,
so as to suit the convenience aud wishes of
the people ; the choosing of the books to
used, and the arranging of the course of
study; the appointment of the teacher, and
the election of the County Superintendent.
All these responsibilities the director must
meet fully and fairly. He cannot, even if
he desired it, shuffle off the burthen to the
uroad shoulders of any one else. And yet
to decide these questions rightly, demands
some of the highest qualities of manhood.
Take, for instance, the question of adopting
or changing a set of school books. He has
a large cumber to choose from, some good,
and some uot good. The book agent is at
Ilia elbow, with bis tongue ready to rehearse
for the hundreth time the stereotyped argu-
ment for the superiority of his books ; not
scrupling, sometimes, to offer a bonus to
insure success. Here, and in like instances,
the director needs honesty, knowledge, de
cision and independence, for by changing
the boobs too frequently, ha may do great
injustice, without intending it. Or take Cue
appointment of a teacher. How many mo
tives are brought to bear on the mind of
directors to secure some favorite appoint
ment. Political influence, denominational
influence, family influence, social influence,
and sometimes lh influence of gold all
these furnish motives adapted to sway the
director's mind in appointing the teacher.
But, utterly ignoring all these, he mut be
abl! to look steadily and only at this point.
Who will best subserve (lie interests of the
school for the salary which we are able to
pay f and make the appointment according
ly. And here, gentlemen directors, permit
me to enter a short plea for die female
teacher, however unobtrusive and neglected
she may seem to be. Woman is the natural
and Heaven appoiuted teacher of the human
race ; and so long as the human intellect
ami human heart nerd culture and moulding,
she must occupy a conspicuous place as in-
I structor. . Who of you is not indebted,
j ,ImuCisurablv indebtedto her frame whose
. , . ,
bo,ora oa dn"k ia Dot on ,he fir!t ruur"
j ishui-nts for your mortal body, but the first
manna for your immortal soul f And who
is better adapted than the cider sister to take
op and continue the work which the loving
mother has laid down f By all means, then,
give the well-qualihed female teacher a fair
chance; and If, in the race for success, she,
like the fair Atalantra of old, outstrips her
stalwart competitors, let the glorions prize
be hers. Or take, as another instance, the
election of the County Superintendent.
The school law confides this duty entirely
and exclusively to you. It presumes that
you will meet this responsibility in the full
light ol nhat you owe to yourselves aud
your neighbors, but especially to the parents
Ai)d children. If it is possible to obtain
such a person, yonr County Superintendent
ought to be a model ma: With requisite
qualifications as to scholarship and execu
tive ability, with the indispensable aptness
to teach, with the character and deportment
of a gentleman, with attractive manners,
wilh a self-sacrificing disposition, and, above
all, with a soul fired with zeal for the true
success of the schools and the wettare of
the children, he might be expected to stamp,
I in the course of three years, the impress of
j his own character on the minds and hearts
! of the children. That impress cannot be

,

matters ; he should be of sufficient inde
pendence of mind to discharge the duties of
his otlice without fear or favor; he should
have leisure enough and willingness enough .
to visit me scnooi occasionally, as suen
visits are useful both fo teacherand scholar;
he should sustain the teacher aud endeavor
to enlist the parents ; he should see tint the
children ire not only instructed intellect
urlly, but t'uat their manners and mi mis are
not neglected; he sTiot.IJ feel, generally,
that he is, in a wide sense, ia the place cf a
lather to all the children in the school.
5. It is not a gainful office, but, some
times thsnkless aud full of trouble ; and we
believe it is belter that it is not gainful.
Being benevolent in its nature, competent
persons are mre likely to be chosen to it
tlutl they won! I be if their seivices were
paid. Tue otlice not being lucrative, there
will not be the rush for it by the average
office-seeker that thi re woli'd be if the sal-'
ary were an object, and generous and public
spirited men can generally be found willing
to take it without copipensation.
6. Wheie llten is the faithful school di
rector to 1; t for the reward of his toil

for his reward I Where does the philan
thropist look I . Where does every public

The baby stare is described as follows, by
a city journalist : The latest fashionable
nonsense is the '-baby stare." It is consid
ered quite the thing for young ladies who
desire to look odd and attract attention in
young gentlemen's society. Some practice
is require-d before it can be acquired to per
fection. The eyes must appear as if fixed
upon some object, and the lips pouted just
a little, so as to display their cherry-red
loviiness. This can be done by pronounc
ing the word "mouse" five times slowly.
j That will give the proper pout.

Editor Sentinel ani Republican Dear Sir,
The "Report of Examinations of the Schools
of Norfolk County, Massachusetts," by
George A." Walton, Agent of the Stat
Board of Education, ia attracting much at
tention in that State, and, indee 1, in all the
leading educational States of the Union.
The Report contains a series of tests ap
plied in the schools of that county to as
certain the acquirements of the pupil: in
reading, writing and arithmetic, together
with tables showing the results obtained
and in some cases fac-stmiles of the work.
The examination and investigation seem to
bare grown out ol a conviction that the
public schools of that section of the coun
try were not accomplishing ail that could
reasonably be expected of them. The ex
amination, as stated in the report, brought
out "lamentable ignorance" on the part of
the children in ti e schools; and yet the
committee say they "believe that the re
sults are as good as can be obtaiued iu any
oihcr county in Massachusetts, or, indeed,
in any other State, when 'similar tests are
applied in a similar manner.'' They al
most challenge a comparison by urging, that
" if any school authorities elsewhere doubt
the truth of this statement, let them try the
experiment in their county." Now it is
fairly supposed the schools of Pennsylva
nia ought to show better results linn those
exhibited iu this report. Do then I Our
chiidren ought to make at least fair progress
in reading, writing and ciphering.
The Comity Superintendents of Fennsyl
rauia will dispense with the regular exami
nations this year, so that similar tests"
may be applied in a " similar manner," and
that the results may be "tabulated and pre
served." The examinations will be written.
It is intended to complete the work in Ju-
niata by the middle of March, or sooner if
need be, before pupils begin to leave school
to engage in siriug work. If necessary, a
competent person will be secured to assist
in holding the examinations. In all cases
the name of the school with the age of the
pupil giving the answer will be required.
Notice will be given as far as possible of the
; tiiu'e when the Superintendent will be in :he
several schools, so as to afford directors and
parents an opportunity to witness the exam
inations. WELLINGTON SMITH,
County Superintendent.
