TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.


AS the season for the opening of
the public schools is drawing near, this is a
suitable time 10 call the attention of Teach.
ors to their Associations. They are not re-
quired by the school law to form such Asso-
Citations; but their own success demands il
OF them. The Teacher has a heavy respon.
sibility resting upon him, which he can rid
himself Of, Only, by faithful discharge of
his duties. This he cannot do without pre-
peration. And mere intellectual qualifica-
lion is not of itself sufficient to enable
Teacher successfully to do his hole duty
in the school room. He may thoroughly
understand the branches he teaches and vet
be a poor teacher. In order that he may be
instrumental in advancing his pupils he
must understand the best method of apply.
irs his knowledge. Herein lies the secret
Of many talented young men being poor
teachers. They do not understand the ,heo-
yy of teaching. Many young teachers Of
the most brlliantintellect have formed m eth.
DDS of teaching when they were tyros in
teaching the young idea to shoot, without
consulting age and experience, and thus
have worked into their method many errors,
which prevent them from accomplishing the
good they desire and expect from their IN.
finching exertions. Many teachers may
ask how they may learn their errors. |
would reply by attending Teachers Associa-
tlons. These are conferences composed of
teachers, where they discuss in friendly
colloquial manner, the methods each one
pursues in teaching. Those who have little
experience, learn from the ability and expe-
rience Of their elder brethren. This is te-
lieved TO be the best, if not the only way for
teachers 10 qualify themselves fer teaching.
The Common Schools o! Pennsylvania are
looking Up, but they are not yet what they
should be. They should keep pace with
advances in all oiher Improvements, and
can do so only when the teachers those who
have them underlheir control are fully awake
to the importance of the position they occu-
py. The Legislature has done its part nobly,
its demands on the teacher are extremely
reasonable, and now with the teacher re.
mains the solution of the problem of ouI
State rising 10 that degree of eminence in
education and intelligence which lis friends
are anxious TO see it occupying. Teacher
associations are powerful mean, for accm
plishiug this. They hold in their power to
great extent the destiny of the rising gen.
Grafton. Then teachers arise shake off your
liihargy and go forth TO the discharge of your
day panopled in the cloak of preparation
and full consciousness OF your worth, aud
ere long you will see our glorious State rs
ing amid the shouts of universal Intelligence
and calling you blessed. AMERlCUS.

The Currency Question.

The Mississ'Ppian states that the expert
me:.t of excluding all paper money of de-
nomination less than five dollars, has sue
ceeded perfectly in the State of Mississippi.
1t says:
"The measure was wise, and has been
found TO he easily enforced. 1t was at first
haoitualy dsregarded, and produced con-
siderable clamor, but its benefits are now
universally admitted. The shinplasters of
other Sta;es-hat loathsome vermin of cur
Iency-were scattered Broadcast over the
Stale, and when the financial revusion came
the people were made aware Of their deu-
sion and bewailed it bitterly.
''The experiment at last succeeded. The
nuisance was ex,irpated. Shinplasters took
their Sight, and gold and siver-the only
currency of the Constilution-have flown
in to the extent that small bills have been
banished from circulation"
If we could but induce the people Of this
Stale to trythe experiment Of excluding all
paper money of less denomination than
1Wen'y dolia,s,"in one year the same results
might be chronicled in Pennsylvania as
those which have followed the punishment OF
all below SIS in Mississippi. Gold and silver
would flow in and supply the wants OF the
business community up TO that point. But
the objection is that such movement would
interfere with the basis of credit. How can
substituting real money for its substitute i'm
pair credit The reverse would be the ca,'e.
But more than this, such a movement woui d
be OF The utmost importance 10 the laboring
classes, as it would insure them gold and
silver at all times in payment for their labor.
Again, the nearer we approach specie ba-
sis the cheaper we can produce, and by this
means command the market and insure a
speedy sale of all articles manufactured In
all points of view the substitution OF gold
and silver for paper is beneficial TO the cem.
munity, and it should be adopted at once in
this Stale.
