Anittingbn *runtal. NEWS ABOUT ROME., --.e•e-- For Mc Jounitil. MESSRS. EDITORS :••••As the public mind is becoming awakened 'to the necessity of adop. Ling some plmr to render the system of Com. ' mon Schools inure efficient, and l'er HOMO of the • citizens of Huntingdon talk of resuscitating the Academy, I have thought the publication of the following letter from Wm. V. Davis, Princi- pal of the Lancaster High School, might throw some light on the subject, and aid iu directing • public sentiment in the right channel. Mr. Davis is recognized by the friends of ovation over the whole State, no one of the most experienced, popular nod successful Teachers in the Commonwealth. Permit 'Me to enquire whether the amount of money paid annually by the citizens of the Boning!' of Huntingdon lee educational purposes, as school tax, salary of the Jimmie teacher in Seminary, amounts paid for boys cent out of town to Aeadetnies, by pa• tents and guardians living in the borough; add to this the cost of proposed building, Lc., to start the Acadcmy—would not all this thrown together Make a fond of nearly live thousand dollar's a year ; and would not this amount be sufficient to pat. into sueeesstul operationthe system of graded schools, such as they have in Lancaster. Washington and other places. • Yours truly, .D. B. LANCASTER, Feb. 11, 1857. D. SLAM. ES Q.: • Dear .4f. .'L--13y a "Union School" in my last to you, I meant one similar to the High School of this city, and elsewhere. In such a school, boys and girls of the proper age and qualifica tion are admitted, free ,f dative, and who re vive a good and Substantial education. The JiTerent languages, such as Latin, Greek, French and German, together with Music and Drawing, are taught to the children of such pn rents as desire it. Now to ex/at/id/a a school of this character, in your place, it would ho neces sary fee those pumons,: who might desire their bons to study tho languages, or their dp,m_rhiers to learn ittusie, etc., to agree to pay a sum in addition to their regular Sehir tax. Besides, boys front the county or elsewhere might he Permitted rmitted toent, upon paying a specified stun. SUM which your citizens would.havc to pay to keep up a classical 'School it) } - cur , Acade my would t., ouwl, than sulticinat to establish a “17nion Saliool:' Your .I.ntrotigh tax, I,..dre sume.,.would justify a salary of 5110 or COO larxto du! Principal el suet, a.sehool. 'rho great advi:nta;e of a 4 'l:Mon School' IA that it renmvea that ludividnom distinction be. tween the rich and poor its a community. and unites all in the support of wet good s e h ei d. Our school here werica admirably, and the whole city is muted in its snpport. The tax here, hirmer, is satEeient to defray all expensii,i, witniiat an extra nie, mile, up. alt 111. , 00 or the city. In Wit,liititsai, Pa., and in loam/ other townaprey hate oro'shtd suitable building-sand hays a School al this chanteter. The children pars regularly through the Prim ary and 'Secondary schools, and those properly ipmlified then ante!' the ltiglt `'School. Hymn. citizen; think of coatis_ it new why not put up in. capable of accommoilming till your children, :tale teal female, and have them all carefully trained and instructed,under the liapervision of ono .head ? .1Y ith three or four pond female assistants I could teach all the chil dren you bave.of au ape suitable to study grate !ear, geography and arithmetic.. 1 say Amide assiatants, because abetter article as a teacher can be procured of that sex at a less coat. It wonld coat, in your Academy, nearly $lOOO to sustain a small lirllool at' buys. Yon tell me it ousts $5OO to teach 25 girls! . There is common oort, h on urged by many parents against a "Uni en Sch.s.l,” viz: that it brings into contset withqhcir children the ri chte and worthless. This is not correct. The Aaracter of the studies pursued by the different classes regulahs this matter. A poor man's son may, for instance, take up the study of La tin—bat should he do so, he is always such a boy, that nu person would object to their chit dres associating with him. The same remark is applicable to the girls. In all my experi ence 1 have found this to be the fact. In our largo school .of 230, mule mid female, every thing is conducted with more propriety and greater attention to everything , which the most fastidious might • demand, than in the private schools with which have bees connected ; and .1 am certain, with much more metho. is our female seminaries. I have thrown thi,e remarks together in great haste, and 'written them with a bad pen. Thanking you for your kind attention to my lust, I remain, Yours truly, IV. V. DAVIS. L 211744 EoucATiusAL.—.lle...re. Editors:—Having lately attended a meeting or the teachers of Morris and adjoining townships, together with a number or other friends of education, held in Shaltersville, near Water Street, io this county, commencing on Fridav the 13th inst., and con tinning in session till Saturday evening follow ing, 1 have thonght that a short account'of the same, together with a few thonghts suggested in the occasion, might not be uninteresting to your numerous readers, aad theretbra subunit the same for your ethtsideration ' all tn. a part of which you ate at liberty to publiSh if you think proper: The me,ting teas organized by appointing William Wieman President and MreJohn Shaffer Viee-Prwitlent, Mr. A. R. Miller being Secretary of the Association., and opened with prayer by Rev. S. Reid. An oration was then delivered by A.R. - Miller, subject, 'lle influ ence and reward of the teacher,"a copy of which' was requested for publication; after which rho us' iect for discussion was anuouneed, !The mt. duties of teachers, :elm) direetnrs and . parents. , • Mr. R. MoDivitt being reqn voted lb . open the subject, responded in un address (dame length ' and was followed by 1). F. Tussey, Rev. S. 11, Reid, A. It. Miller, .1. D. Brown, W. 0 utinaN G. I'.

SATURDAY MORNING SESSION. Or ,, aniaid by apointing Mr. Win. Walters to the chair thedispute of thu President. Sublet of iv:telling Unography, opened by A.

Soule 'very appropriate remarks were also made by the eintippatr at the t e of the Session, when the AS,ociaiiou ash journal to tucettn tit 'adleinutin ut AIITEI:NOUN 5i.:66165. 'Vito subject of teaching, Atithmetie . was open. ed by Mr. TosSey, who illustrated his method of teuching-Mental and written arithmetic, and as 3to evidence of its efficiency introduced one or hi 4 pi ilu,, Al4of as ,years uf, ago, wime en. tire 'readiness in suiting correctly :Lila, almost instantly all questions proposed, is mental and written arithmetic, astonished nll present. I have frequently visited School Exhibitions, so called, And have seen pupils of almost every are introduced on the stage r to stammer over, in a hurried and awkward manner, a "piece," which has cost weeks of labor, and tune, to the exclusion of other more valnableittidiee, *lieu perhaps that same pupil Lad never been taught to connect two original ideas and 'commit :them to paper. and hove been convinced of the fart that the time so spent had been needlessly and eritninally. wasted. We are told, howeVer, by the advocate:l,of this sy;tem,,that they,are i t c. pessary in Ord* to discipline the mind—to ac quire habits of self-reliance, and a ready com mand of language; but here was a boy, a mere child, before an audience, computed almost en tirely of strangers, with the most perfect self confidence, without betraying the slightest em barrassment, and scarcely pausing for a reply, solving problems without difficulty, that would have tested many a atom mature mind, an evi dence of what . may lie accomplished by a skil ful and laborious teacher, with an intelligent rind industrious pupil, far inure convincing to site the least of it, than any of the popular school exhibitions I ever witnessed. It must be remembered also that Mr, T. has received n course of instruction at the Millersville Normal School, and this fact speaks volumes in favor of this Institut*. In the language of his Ex cellency, Coy. Pollock, ''just so lung as mind and intellect, with their far-reaching energies are superior to the things of earth, so lung will lustittitiunxof this. character be known.aud,ap prociated." The remarks on this subject were participa ted in by all the teachers present, and a free in terchange of opinion on the different methods of teaching suggested, wee elicited, together with many appropriate and useful remarks, which want of space compels me to pass by, but which I should be happy to notice more at length. The session on Saturday evening was opened with prayer by lb, McDivitt. A similar meet ing wtts then appointed at the "Loop" School house near Alexandria, to commence on Fri day evening .20th inst., and one at Mechanics ville, Franklin tp., on the 27th. Mr. Tussey tl;en introduced to the audience Master S. P. McDivitt, (not quite eight years of age,) the boy previously alluded to, who deliv ered an oration on wile Character of Napole on," which for clearness of style, natural elo quence, and distinct ennunciation, - would have done honor to many an older and much mote experienced speaker. A round of applause gteeted the youthful orator as he resumed his seat, And many were ready to predict fur him a splendid car v er. may ho so—in this free and glorious, and happy laud, the path to fame, honor, and distinction is open to all—but there will never arrive a period in his history ulnas he will not lea: hitch to the faithful, patient and persevering efforts of that teacher as being mainly instrumental in laying the untlatain of Ititurti usefulness, and claiming the tribute of his gratef u l remendwanee and lusting grati tude. The subject of the County Septrintentleticy. it i cite, nod ultieetosas intrOiliteed iiir discas. sion, 110 opened by Mr. Tosscy, who was ful. lowed in his retnarks by a number of ether tea. chore and directors present.

That we consider the otlice 61 County Soperinteorlent, properly administered, as the right arm of our Public School System ; sod ilia it is the ditty of this Assuriscion to use all honorable tneutis to secure its continuance, as well as the election of an experienced and true man, to that imperious 0111 e:, The following resolutions we:, uls) offered and adopted : That it is the ditty of each and ev ery member of this Association, to use all hon or:tide means to seoure a Inure extensive ;intro s:lgo of the Peawylvania School Jourool, is his own particular locality. ------ - That the utility of teachers and friends 01 education holding township associa tions for mutual improvement, is now clearly demonstrated, and that we consider them a ne cessary acemnpriniment of our school systeth. .I:,xolecd, That while our thanks are clue, and are hereby tendered to that portion of thee put lie press which has from time to than, published fide and impartial accounts of our, pruceedilith we regard the occasional efforts made by 11110- . I.ller portion of the press to injure the cause of education, by wilfully misrepresenting our pro• oeedings as an Institute, as beneath the reach of contempt, and unworthy of further notice, having already received a sufficient rebuke front an intelligent community. . . Resolved, TGtit t h e thanks of this Associa tins are deo to the citizens of this place for the interest and attention shown by them in our proceeding's, and roe their courtesy sod hespi• tali!y it: gratuitously entertaining the teachers during the present meeting. The meeting was well conducted and inter. esting throughout, the large and a4teetive dienco in attendance stench sessio- ; the inter est and attention in:stilt:stud by the citizens in all the proceedings, together with the spirit pod energy shown by the teachers; clearly demon• straw that the cause of Education is not• retro grading in that locallity, and that the old fogy system is rapidly declining is favor of a better. The degire manifested by every teacher present evidently was to rise to a higher place iu his profession, nod why should not this desire be realized ? It is true that mach yet remains to be done, but the proper step has already been taken in the right direction, to 'accomplish this Important result. We have, in this county, us good material sot of which to manufacture tea chers, as can he.found in the State,. and all that is required is n little, of the right kind of train ing. Heaven speed the day when our Common School System shall be so perfect that nu high.. er inbtituticns will he required in our laud— when the streams of knawledgealiall Sow ttee us air, and when all classes,' the high and the low, the pour ss well as the rich, shall comet. getter . and drink from its streaming fountain, and enjoy the tall its unfailing beauties. • Touts truly, • • REPORTER. • For the , Journal.
