WE WANT OPINIONS, WITH REASONS FOR
THEM

| Our intention was, to hazard our own editorial
opinion onsome points Of educational interest that
viii suggest themselves to the careful reader on
perlsing the contents Of this number, and on an
other that win be stated But of time and space.
and that, too, probably well for u.s. and better
for the reader, prevents this. So, instead Of
giving oar own views, we have modestly concluded
to throw the burthen upon such of our readers,
correspondents actual and prospective, as viii
kindly undergo it. The following are the ques-
tions:
l. LIS it expedient that member of the proper
Board of School Directors should preside at the
meetings Of the district Institute las asserted to
be- in the educational item in this number, under
the head of Luzerne county? Alsois the splicing
of the proceedings of an Institute with politics,
desirable; and why or why not T?
2. What remarks win suggest themselves to the
mind Of the thoughtful teacheror school officer on
reading the graphic account of the spelling contest
in the Chester County Institute, as given by Prof
Brooks, in this number2
3. What impression does the proposition of the
well known author on School Morality, Mr.. Cow
dery,,- that pupils must not expect ever to be
reproyed by the Teacher, make on the mind
which regards displine for the formation Of char
acter to be duty, at least, equally incumbent on
the teacher instruction for intellectual improve
ment2 See the 3d. 4th and 5th paragraphs ofpage
l52, of this number.
T. The Rev. DIR. Bellows (of Boston, we believe)
in an address at the opening of school in San
Francisco (which address is in the November num-
Der of the California Teacher) says: ''I tell you
this-that the domestic life of California is the
most unpromisiug thing here; that you have not
yet established it, nor even the foundation of it
thatyou do not yet know what the true domestic
life is, And further being informed that the
school he was then addressing was the frs public
school in San Francisco IN which the separation of
the sexes had been attempted he says: 'Well, as
one who has long been an observer in matters of
education, am glad of the experiment think
it will succeed, and it ought to. We do not want
the sexes mixed too early in this community. -
Now, on this we desire the carefully considered O.
pinion, with the reasons, of some correspondent
showing the probable influence of such pro
cess Upon a community destitute" of that feel
ing and those sylnpathies which produce the do
mestic life of a community.
Here are topics of great interest-loeal and gen
eral We.should like to expatiate on them oursel-
YES. did time permit but we throw them before our
correspondents, not only that ourreaders may have
more variety but better articles, than the worn
pen editorial could give-Rs Pennsylvania School
