An Academy.

There is no reason why good Academy
or Seminary conld not be established in
Bloom sburg. A great amount of money is
every year carried out of the county which
could be retained at home, and many chill.
dren are seni abroad for all education who
could receive quite as good an one under
The eyes OF their parents, and with more
safety 10 the moral control of the scholar.
But if the matter is undertaken il must be
in seli-sacrfcing spirit, and not for specu-
laion to" sell LOTS" !'set job" or snake
money" III any way. There must be no strife
for private or personal interest, and yet il must
pc private enterprise. Three or four intel,
lgenl persons (and in lime twice that num-
eer) could make decent competence in this
way, with the pleasant reflection of dong
good. We shal have more 10 say OF this

for an abstract idea and confused interpreia-

EDUCATIONAL
TO school Directors and Teachers.


The several Boards OF School Directors are
requested 10 inform me at what time and
place this fall it will best suit their convent
ence TO have. the examinations of teachers
take place for their district. and appoint
mepts will be made accordingly. 1t is desi-
raDle and important that the examinations
should be conducted publicly in the presence
OF The Board of Directors who are to employ
The teachers, as that will afford Directors the
best opportunity TO Judge OF the fitness OF
each applicant. In no case are teachers to
be employed before they have certificate,
upon the promise to obtain one. II is taken
for granted by the School Department that
Teachers have embraced every opportunity
of improvement during the past year; and
the examinations are 10 be more thorough
aud detailed than at fret. The grade of pro-
ficiency in the different studies will be ndi.
Gated on each. teachers certificate, and il is
highly important to the prosperity and sue
cess Of the sysem-to the encouragement oil
good teachers-and as an inducement for the
improvement vi oil tcdtuCio thot ~
reclors should establish marked grade in
the wages Of teachers. A number of good
teachers have heretofore received too little
pay, and deficient ones have received too
much. AT the close of each examination in
the districts lecture will be delivered, and
all are invited to attend.
Before the schools open for the term, the
Directors in each district should meet and
adopt uniform series OF tex, books for the
use of the schools, where this has moi already
been done. When the schools open the
most important subject for the Directors 10
urge is the regular attendance of each scho.
ar. The monthly reports of the teachers
should be filed with the Secretary OF the re-
Epecliye Board, aud open al all times TO the
inspection OF every citizen, SO that he may
know how res sularly his children attend
school, and with what success and prospect
oi improvement. The attention of parents
should be invited 10 these reports, and also
to frequent personal visitalons of the school.
My own visits TO the schools will be as soon
in turn after The examinations as | shall
learn that The schools OF any district are
open. r. w. WEAVER,

81 FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER,
HON. ARNOLD PLUM Err,
OF vENANGo COUNTY,
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION.

TN accordance with the rule of the Demo-
i. cratic party, the Democratic voters of the
several election districts of Columbia county
will meet at their respective places Of holding
the gene raj elec tion, on SATURDAY the 25th
Jay Of August next, between the hours of 8
and z o'clock iu the afternoon to choose two
delegates from each township, 10 meet in
County Convention at the Court House in
Bloomsburg on MONDAY. the 9Th day of
August next, at ! o'clock, T.. NJ, for the pur-
pose Of making the annual nominations of the
Democratic party.
The Democrats Of the several townships are
cnjoined to strict vigilance that none Lut Dem
ocrats participate in these elections and the
success and integrity OF the party impe ativcly
requires that Know-N othipgs cannot and sha II
not have voice either as voters, officers or
delegates in the formation of a ticket which
they would not support when formed, unless
hy some unfortunate accident some Of their
own kind should be on it. The Democratic
party sccerds to these men the same right
which it claims for itself to support men of
their own principles; but they must do it in
sheir own household and not attempt to force
shem on the people under the name of Dem.
ocrats. Although it may lie difficult in all
cases to know who belong TO the Secret Order,
the precedent Of the Democratic State Con
veniion seems 10 be the only safe one-lhal
ihe ,fee must be judged by its fruit, and that
those men who year after year openly and no.
toriously oppose Democratic nominations ond
support Whig and Know Nothing candidates
nIe not Democrats. and can have no just or
honorable claim TO control or direct the policy
of patty which they have refused to support
and vainly attempted to destroy.
