FRIEND DIGGs:-I hereby forward
you sketch of the proceedings of the
Teachers Association, which met to-
day, at the Seminary Most of the
members present, and three new ones
obtained. After transacting some pre-
liminary business, and receiving re-
ports from different members, of the
books used in our schools, there was
exhibited more uniformity in our text
books than | anticipated, still there is
yet room for improvement in this re-
spect. The resolution respecting gram
mar being profitably taught in common
schools, elected considerable discus
sion. Many good suggestions were
made in regard to the best mode ofim-
parting knowledge oflanguage, when
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted
Rcsolped, That it is the received
opinion of this society, that grammar
can be profitably taught in our com
mon schools.
The following resolutions were offer
ed for the consideration of the Assoca-
ton. at its next meeting:
Resolred, That we consider the
propriety OF acquiescing with the rec
ommendation of orr State Board in
reference to the introduction of new
series of readers into our schools
Should corporal punishment be re-
sorted to in the government of schools?
Resolced, That most teachers aban-
don the study of orthography too
soon.
Resolred. That physiology be in
troduced into our common schools.
z. Hiatt, p NJ Mcfarland and E.
VI. Ives were appointed to examine va
rious works on grammar, and report
their Judgment, as to the best one for
schools. at our next meeting. Then
adjourned. to meet Saturday, Dec. IL,
1859, at half past nine o'clock. hoping
that more teachers would become in
terested and turn out.
There is nothing wanting but an in
: terest on the part of teachers to make
our State come out of the mental leth.
argy, which, like London fog, covers
, all our educational efforts and weaken.
, our energies. Think of an army Of
Mirty.fre housond voters marching tc
the ballot-box, unable to read the
names of the candidates printed or
their tickets. Add to this, ten Mous
! and more voters who can read but car
not write their own names, and oul
political and educational prospects ap
pear rather discouraging. No wondel
, our State Executive begins to or,
\ more Penitepfidry room.
Then | would say to teachers and al
Others of literary character rouse NJ
.IAnd enlist in the work. The masse,
look to us to lead the van in the estab
: l;.hment and management of schools
