ANENDNFNTs TO THE SCHOOL LAWS are suggested
in a few cases by the Superintendent Among the
provisions Of the act passed az the last session of the
tepisature "to arerd the statutes in relation to
"publc instruction., was one authorizing the cleo
tors of each district at their annual meeting, 10 choose
one or three Trustees as they might by resoluon DC
termine. Many districts, svaiDg themselves OF thn
privilege elected a single Trustee; and 50 far as the
kpoyedee of the Department extends, the change has
in most iptances proved satisfactory. In some cases,
however Trustees have subjected thens selves TO DJu-
rious imputstions and given rise to dissensions IN
their districts by the employment of their chill
dren or immediate relatives az teachers IN the schools
subject to their supervision. As remedy 1t Is pro-
posed to enact that such school officer shall not en-
poy relative teacher without the assent OF ma

great difficulty is frequently experienced IN obt am
ing a site for school house near the center OF die
trict il is suggested that law be passed authorizing
distrcf to obtain, when necessary such site as they
may require by appraisement and conhscation, as IN
the of highways, &C. In conclusion the Super

The sem-annual exercises Of the State Normal
School were held last evening, in the Normal School
Building. The address before the literary sOcleties
was delivered by ANsoS g. CHESTER, esq editor OF
Tie Syrocuse DAILY Journal. His subject was,
Educated Fools" and the address lasted for full
hour viii write ont from my notes passage in re.
lation 10 the Lobby which at this time will command
more than ordinary interest. Mr.. Chester said;
al think that those educated Senators and Assem-
bl2m.n are fools who will consent to be governed or
controlled by corrupt Lobby, rather than by the
plainly expressed VII les OF Their constituents and by
tie own sense of right. make no psrticu charge
apainst any indvidual make wholesale charge,
which Includes sll who have places In the halls OF
legislation. but i do aek what in the name OF the
Prophet does that volume which contains the laws OF
the State of New-York mean, If all our legislators
are incoiruptble! That porty volume is filed WITH
laws the great majority Of which special ensct-
ments designed 10 benefit individuals and corpora
tions insesd of the State; and desire to know how
these enactmen,s obtained if rot through lobby
influence believe that the lobby in Albany i. Just
ss vile and pesferous place exists under G DDS
blue canopy. believe that it is just as much a "a
'den Of thieves as that which was broken up IN
Jerusalem by the Savior of Men. almost wonder
how the citizens of Albany can exist in an atmos-
phere that reekB with deadly e1halations. almost
wonder that the churches not cosed; that
the voice of prayer is not sthed that ministers
not drawn and qu4rtered, and that the Lobby
is rot proclaimed the lIeTod of this Ju1ea.
God either particularly mercfnlo Albany, or He in
tends 10 overthrow fair State as Sodom and Co
morrsh were overthrow. The vines Of the Lobby
must work later, uDess, indeed remedy is
speedily applied; and from what source that remedy
is to emsnae, is more than can tell. have no dis
position TO trife with sacred things when say that
should not blame the inhabitants of Albany if they
should ipterpolste in their daily utterance Of the
Lords Prayer, the words especially the Lobby, i'm
mediately after the words Deliver us from evil.
The Speaker received two distinct hear and pro-
onged rounds Of applause at the cose OF this portion
Of his adGTes.
