PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Relief of the Sureties of Daniel Zeigler


Several subscribers having expressed a
desire to see the proceedings in the House
of Representatives in this case, which came
up on Tuesday Of last week, we publish
them in full, as reported in the Harrisburg
Telegraph
No. 1872 An Act for the relief Of the
sureties Of Daniel Zeigler, late treasurer
Of Mittlin county.
Mr.. Htldey | would like to hear an
explanation Of this bill
Nr. Barholome3c. For the informa-
tion of the gentleman anG of the House,
| will state that in the examination of this
bill by the Committee on the Judiciary,
the facts were fully ELECTED and the Com
mittee reported favorably. Il appears that
IN 1852 Daniel Zeigler was elected treasu-
rer OF the county Of Mif1in-that Zacha-
rlah Rittenhouse, Samuel Belford and
George Strunk were his sureties. In 1858,
his account was settled in the Auditor
Generals office, showing balance due the
Commonwealth, as exhibited by notice
published in the newspapers. In 1854,
his second year, his account, as settled in
the Auditor Generals Office, shows also
balance due the Commonwealth but the

EDUCATIONAL
Edited by 4. SMITH, Comfy superintendent
For the Educational Column.

-Nr. Ediof:-The educational column,
| notice, still appears from timc to time
with choice, well written, and instructive
articles, but very few teachers have con
trlbuted anything to it. Is it possible that
the teachers of our county are Indifferent
III regard to the great subject Of educa-
tion that they will not aid you in your
rraiseworthy efforts to maintain column
in our county papers devoted to the inter
ests OF common schools and the teachers
profession
Teachers may be divided into four elias
ses
One class have no time to write, are
kept too busy, are SO devoted to their cause
that they cannot possibly spare few hours
once month to prepare am article on some
educational topic for publication. Their
schools require their whole attention day
and night-they think and dream about
them-cant allow their thoughts to be
drawn from them by any such trivial d.
version as that of writing for the papers.
Another class 'cW nal write. To this
class belongs those-lortunateIy their mum
Der is small and growing beautifully less
who are too indolent, or if you prefer to
smooth it down a little, they are so desti-
tlte Of energy that they cannot get up
the requisite amount Of electricity Some
Of this class are likewise so Indifferent to
the best interests OF their pupils and the
cause of education that they cannot be in
dgced to ylad educational works and peri
odicals, much less write for them
This brings us to those who can't write
"a class Of exceedingly modest, humble,
and sensitive creatures. How they are to
be pitied. | take it that he or she who re-
ally has so few ideas, so little originality,
so little knowledge of the rules Of gram
mar, made sad mistake in assuming 10 be
a teacher Of the young.
The fourth class are those who intend to
try to write, and you will soon learn who
belong to this class, as each one who does,
intends Hereafter to send you an article oc-
caslonally. PERsEEERANFIA.

Precision.

Teachers should have a constant care to
teach with the utmost accuracy all that
comes within the range of their instruc-
tlon. Children are sent to school 70 learn
truth, and truth only. 1t is thcriorc the
duty OF the educator to understand thor
oughly all that he means TO teach, and to
labor a>siduously to give his pupils the
same clear and truthful views Of things.
Whatever is worth doing at ALL is worthy
Of being done i'll the best possible manner,
is u maxim which teachers need to rcmem-
ber and act upon. II this rule is appIca-
bic anywhere, it certainly is in teaching :;
and all instruction which is not precise is
faulty. There arc but few teachers, com
paratively, who come up TO just standard
of exactness in everything they teach, and
in the language which they use. In the
school room no error, however slight, should
be allowed to pass uncorrcctcd. The schol-
ar attention should be called to every mis-
pronunciation and incorrect expression
which he is heard to make. Let the teach
er first ascertain what is correct, then
strictly adhere to it himself, and then re-
quire his pupils to do the same. Tie
child'S first lessons should be characterize
by habitual precision, because these are re-
tanned the longest; and all intelligent
teachers know how difficult it is to unlcarn
what has been learned amiss, to eradicate
erroneous habits of expression and con
duet. And there is bot particle of ne
cessity that children should at any time in
life learn error instead Of truth All that
we want is competent aud accurate teach
ers who will carefully exclude all error
from their instruction. The teacher should
be no less pattern of excellence in lam
guase and scholarship, than in character.
There is no hope that children will he pre-
else in their attanments if teachers are
not so and there should be developed in
every school love Of exactness and spir-
it Of generous criticism. Tc further this
end, let critic be appointed to report at
the end Of each day or week, as may seem
best, list Of all the erroneous expressions
noticed during that time, requiring the pu-
pill who made the mistake TO correct it
himself
In spelling and residing, require every
sound to be distinctly enunciated, every
word clearly and correctly pronounced.
Let it be understood that to every ques-
ton which is asked in recitation, there
must be given an answer which, in sub
stance and grammatical construction, is en-
tirely accurate. 1t is not sufficient to be
precise in few things only, and careless
in others, but this same precision should
extend through every exercise in the
school room scholars should be encouraged
to do everything neatly and Systematically,
even the very common act of writing fig
ures upon the black board, in the solution
of examples in arithmetic. BY this means
precision aoiU become hdbu, something
which Is most truly desirable.
