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,

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

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.

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

same, together with a few thonghts suggested
in the occasion, might not be uninteresting to
your numerous readers, aad theretbra subunit

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

was requested for publication; after which rho

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

we regard the occasional efforts made by 11110-

education, by wilfully misrepresenting our pro•

of contempt, and unworthy of further notice,
having already received a sufficient rebuke
front an intelligent community.

interest and attention shown by them in our

The meeting was well conducted and inter.

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

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
