CHTTTENDEN COUNTY TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION.
FIFTH sEiI-ASNUAL SESSION.

CHARLOTTE, May llth, 1850.
This Association commenced its fifth semi-annu-
al session in the Congregational Church in Char
lotte, at il o'clock on the llth inst, Rev. C. E.
Ferrin, President, in the chair. Tho exercises
were opened by singing, and prayer was offered by
the President. Rev. s. W Boardnan, Of Middle
bury College, delivered the opening address. His
subject was The dignity and importance of the
calling Of the primary school teacher" That the
dignity and Importance Of this calling are surpassed
by those If no other he argued. lst from the facts
that the mind, upon which teachers operate, sur
pass worth and Importance all other earthly
things and that its early impressions-giveu in a
very great extent by the primary school teacher
are the most important Of ali. ID, from the fact
that the qualities required in a teacher-industry.
energy, perseverance, patience, selfdenial, and
enthusia.m-aro among the noblest traits Of hu
man character.
AFrsEsooy.-The chair announced committees
as follows:
On business-Messrs. Conant Of Burlington,
Leavenworth, Of Hncsburgh; Rev. c. ". seaton,
Of Charlotte.
On place Of next meeting-Messrs. Ciley, Of
WiIliston; seaver. of Burlington; Bass, Of In
dorhill
Mr. 4. \. Allen. Of Colchester, read m essay.
His subject was "Thoroughness.' This must be
insisted upon by the teacher, even at the expense
of rapidty Of progress through the text books and
notwithstanding any cont rary influence arising
from the ambition of teacher, patron, scholar to
secure such rapidity ofprogress. It's pre-eminent
Importance arises from its absolute essentially as
an elementary principle Of correct habits.
The discussion Of the subject was continued By
Messrs. Conant and Boardman; the latter gentle
man strongly recommending, as a means Of secur-
ing this thoroughness in study, frequent reviews
Of all the ground passed over.
The Association was t-en entertained by very
spicy essay, most emphatically delivered, by Peter
E. Pease, Esq, of Charlotte. J. 5. Adams. Esq,
and Rev. c. E. Ferrin spoke briefly.
Evsning.-After singing and prayer-ofered BY
Rev. Mr. seaton, Of Charlotte-Nr. J. S. Cilley,
of Williston, delivered an address, the object Of
which was to impress upon the public mind the
facts, that EIucation consists not merely Of in
tellectual, but also Of moral and social develop
ment; that the operations Of education are carried
on not merely or mainly in the school room, but
also at the home Preside, in all places Of public
concourse, in all the haunts Of business and amuse-
ment, and mast actively in the streets. Soe,ay,
then, is the great and universal educator, and each
individual, in whatever relation he comes in COR
tact with it. assumes, Of necessity. the Office Of
teacher; and for the proper discharge Of this |
function he must be held accountable.
After the address, Messrs Ferrin, Seaton, Nash, /
Lsa7envorth and C5nant made brief remarks

coin, giving him the nomination. Many Of the
audience were busy with pencil and paper, caicu-
lating the relative position of tho candidates anu
they discovered the result soon as the Conven-
tion did. Then commenced the most tremendous
scene of excitement and exultatiOn 1 have ever
witnessed.
You may, sometimes, have seen in the summer
season. a pond or inlet, upon the Intervale dried
away to the size of wash-tub and to the depth OF
an inch, and containing closely packed within II
all the little fish which inhabited it when 1t was
hundred times IS large. and have started as you
dropped a stone into it, TO see it change from
still surface of water to an intensely active mass
of fish tails and fms. Now enlarge your puddle to
an acre; fill it with ten thousand men for fishes;
let all start erect at word; place in every hand
hat or a handkerchief waving and tossing, and let
all be cheering like mad;-and you will have
some approach to a representation Of the scene IN
the wigwam. The cheering rose and died away,
and rose again with roar like the thunders OF
Niagara, for many minutes, and as it seemed about
to cease, the first gun for LINCOLN doomed heavily
from the outside, and again the shout arose IN
response, with redoubleI power. 1t was tall
cheering, and few thousand people are toleEably
hoarse tonight.
The nomination of Mr.. Hamlin q short piece
of work, and took almost everybody BY surprise
