"a The Orleans County Agricultural
Society held its annual meeting in this
village on Tuesday of last week. A
pressure of business at the time pre-
vented our attendance, so that, in the
absence Of any report from the Secre-
tary, we are unable to inform our read
ers as to the business transacted. By
the way, why is not the report of the
Secretary forthcoming? We expected
1t, of course, in season for our last weeks
issue, but it came not; and now we again
60 TO press without having received it
What can this meani Why this delay !?
Are we first to get hold of these pro-
ceedings in the New York Tribune. or
whence may we expect them? Our
readers very naturally expect to be duly
informed of the doings of all such meet
ings, within a reasonable space of time
after they take place; and We mean that
they shall be gratifed in this respect
To be sure, we have no claim on the
Secretary, which requires him to furnish
US with these proceedings; but we had
supposed that in sending them, he would
only be doing what the Society expects
Of him. Are we mistaken in this? We
feel deep interest in the success and
usefulness of the Agricultural Society in
this county, and mean to manifest this
interest in our columns. When we as
certain what was done by the Society at
its annual meeting, we shall have some
thing more to say of the Society, its aims,
capacities, &c.

For the Standard.
School Government.

MIR. EDITOR just before the de
cease of the Gazette there was a shor
piece written upon this subject and APP.
peared in that paper, the writer wished
Others to discuss the subject. Now dc
not consider myself SO competent to dis
cuss this question as some others are but
still would advance few suggestions.
consider that in order that a school
may be carried on successfully it must be
governed sufficiently to keep the scholars
still and orderly, without that harshness
which will create fear or hatred in the
mind of the scholar, yet demand from
him respect for the teacher. And, as in
all places those persons who are superior
TO others are honored and respected.
conclude if teacher would be successful
he must be superior to the scholars, phys
ically, mentally and morally.
1st, he must be superior physically, be-
cause there are in many districts set of
youth who associate the idea of a whip
ping with the word master, and measure
men not by their mental, but by their
bodily powers; and when they see the
school-master they begin to mediate at
once upon the probability of their being
able to put him out of the window or door.
Let teacher in such situation (if he
doubts his ability in this particularly be-
ware how he participates in the games
which will be devised to test his strength
until he has gained the good will of his
scholars.
lie should be superior mentally, for
soon, very soon will his deficiency be
found out in this respect, and if he is de-
fcient he will lose the respect of his
scholars, and it is hard to govern where
the teacher is regarded with contempt.
He should be superior morally, for pa
rents who feel deeply interested in the
welfare of their children are very 10th to
put them under the influence of a person
whose example and conversation would
tend in any way to corrupt the young
minds and turn them fiom the ways of
virtue.
| think in some cases it is necessary to
punish scholars, though not often in dis
tricts where parents cooperate with the
teacher in trying to secure good behavior.
But in many cases when scholars are
punished, good, kind word would have
been more efectual in gaining respect
and obedience to the teachers REQUIRE
ments.
l would Ike to hear more upon this
subject from those who are experienced
in school government.
Yours with respect,
JAMES.
