Method of Conducting District Institutes

Happening not long ago to meet school
director, the conversation turned upon Dis
trict Institutes. 1t was after the passage
Of the law requiring teachers to devote eve
ry other Saturday to these meetings. "We
are now obliged said he, ''to devote two
days in each month to Institutes. In our
summer schools, which are now in session,
we have employed all female teachers, most
of them young girls, who have never taught
before. They know little or nothing about
Institutes. What shall we do to fill the re-
quirements of the law?"
1 asked him if his teachers could spell
well. ''No," said he, "they cannot. Ire
ceived note from one of them yesterday,
in which number of common words were
misspelled."
well, then, could not portion of the
time be very proftably spent by those young
teachers in practicing in spelling, and trying
different methods of teaching this branch 2
1T certainly could; and at our next meet
ing we will have that tried For common
practical branch, it seems too much neglect
ed; and if we can in our meetings attract
attention to it, and improve the methods of
teaching it, District Institutes will have done
some good
To help that director out of his difficult
ties, and others who may perhaps be under
like cloud, l propose to offer few practi-
cal suggestions upon
Orthography and the methods Of teach-
ing 1.-THE purpose for which we learn to
spell is indicated by the ctymology of the
word Orthography -Orthos-right, and
Grqpho-I write-ri -right-writing. 1t is not
to be able to spell a word orally when stand
ing in class, with chance to try twice,
and teacher to pronounce it SO plainly that
the pupil cannot help spelling it right; but
to be able to write correctly such words as
one needs to use in any piece of writing that
he may have occasion to make. This is the
need, this is the end that we must labor to
attain. 0 t.:.
What are the means that we can make
use of that will most surely contribute to
this result? What plan of teaching, what
of instruction will make a right

THE SCHOOLS.

1t is daily becoming more evident that teach
ers are scarce in this county at the present time
Many who STOOD at the head of their profession,
quit the school room for the camp, and are now
fighting the battles of our country In this
way our ranks have been thinned, we have lost
our brightest ornaments, and their places must
be taken by others. "Cose up the column and
move onward" Raw recruits must be taken
into our ranks and drilled for effective service.
Let all who are willing and at all qualified to
teach, be examined, We may be mistaken, but
we are of opinion, they will all find employ
ment; and that the demand will still be unsup-
piled. This is a good time for young teachers
to enter upon the duties and responsibilities of
their calling.
Many of those just to enter the profession
should be females With few exceptions, we
have the smallest proportion of female teachers
of any county in the State. We have always
believed the policy that excludes them to be a
mistaken policy. Our schools would be better
taught, and the cause of education better pro-
NOTED by employing larger per centage Of la
dy teachers. The stereotyped objection, that
"Women can't keep order," may have some
ground, but it is not of sufficient weight to ex-
clude them almost entirelY.from the profession.
They can ''keep order," ifscompetent, and men
can do no more. We are aware these views are
not likely to be adopted at present by most of
our directors, but we confidently appeal to facts
and experience to establish their business. Ma
ny counties employ large per centage of fe-
male teachers-some, more than half-and these
counties, without an exception, are known and
admired for the excellence of their schools
Allegheny has 269 males, and 302 females;
Bradford, 100 males, and 344 females, Chester,
167 males, and 230 females; Susquehanna, 144
males, and 243 females These are examples
We have yet to learn that the employment of
females in these counties has had any bad effect
on the schools. On the contrary, there is the
best reason to suppose it has worked to the sat-
isfaction and advantage to all concerned. Bed
ford county has 165 males, and only tceaty-one
female teachers. The schools should, and could
with advantage to all parties, be at least equal
ly divided between the two sexes Directors
could thus avail themselves of the highest grade
of female teachers for the same salary they must
now pay for the lowest grade of male teachers.

ABoLITIoNIss, AS VIEWED BY THE New I YoRH
TRIBUNE IN 1844.-We copy the following ar
guments from campaign eectioneering tract,
issued by Greely 6 NfElrath, from the Tribune
office, New York, 1914. Current events, in q
great measure, produced by that very paper,
since it changed its ground, are establishing the
truth and force Of this reasoning in striking
manner. The same paper noV would pronounce
such arguments ''apasoa," or at least an ev-
idence of sympathy with the rebels" if they
were put forth by a Democratic paper.
From the Tribune Tract.
We are not fond of alarming topics, nor dis.
posed to excite unnecessary anxiety. But the
ecils of political Abolition, RISING up in the Norts
must be faced and the consequences it tends
to must be considered. However averse the
people of the free States may be to slavery,
(and we believe they are almost universally so,)
yet they cannot but feel that this remedy Of Po-
Htica1 Aboltion is coise than the disease, first, be-
cause the rudeness and violence of the treatment
only aggravate it and next, because they fear
that the medicine, if administered as proposed
will ksR both patient and the doctor. A dtSSota-
ton Of tile Union would be as certain as any eff
feet of moral cause that can be reasoned on
Nor is 1t likely that tins would be the end. Inc
political asperities and exasperationsthat would
grow out of such conflict would themselves
naturally be breeders of other convalsons; and
it would not be strange if some ceftain or chief
tains should rise up in the struggle, to make
slares Of all the fieemen, and bind in stronger
chains those whom, by such means, it is pro-
posed to set free.
We are a family Of States, bound together by
a covenant solemnly ratified, which prescribes
tie rights of EACH In this family, concord is
beautiful but family quarrels are the worst OF
all. Look at Spain. Will any one say, that
such a increment as The POLITICAL ABOLITION OF
THE NORTH, does not put n jeopardy the peace o
tbs Union, AND THE UNION ITSELF? And can
any human foresight tell what scenes Of strife it
is likely to produce, if it should be encouraged
to pass on its way towards the supreme power
of the nation, which is its avowed aim ?-1ri-

ezy-A curious case Of suicide occurred at Nj
agara Falls a few days since. A little boy
named Armstrong, aged nine yearsywas aversal
to attending school. Ills parents ordered him
to go to school with an elder brother, but he
steady refused, and while his brother was try
ing to compel him to go, he stated that if he
was compelled to go to school he would jump
into the canal and drown himself Suiting the
action to the word, he started on a run to the
canal, and before, he could be caught, jumped
