For the Union.

MsssrS. Editors One of the largest and most
deeply interesting meetings of the Baltimore Co.
Teachers Association, was held on last Saturday
at the County Building. Every commissioner
district WIS we'll represented. Out of sixty-three
members, about fifty-6ve were present. In adj
diton to this respectable number, several profess
sors Of the High schools Of the city and some Of
the Grammar School teachers were also in attend
ance
An address on the Importance OF teachers as
sociatious was delivered by Professor Newell Of
the Normal school, in which the teachers iu-
creased power, the fostering Of professional feel
ing, the elevation of the profession and the great
er efficiency which would result from frequent
ssso citation, were clearly set FORTH ably discuss
cd and logically enforced.
Professor Baird made few extemporaneous
remarks on the same subject.
The State Superintendent ever ready, even at
great personal inconvenience, to meet and coun
sci the teachers of the State, bot especially of
his own county, favored the association with his
presence at the request of the President of the
County Board, and with more than usual earn
estness aud feeling addressed the members on
the great and glorious work in which they were
engaged, and complmented them On their auSpi-
ciuuS surroundings. 1t was well worth trip TO
the Association TO receive some Of the inspiration
of high educational officer, who infuses 80 much
energy and life into the great system offree pub
lie instruction of which he is the accomplished
and skillful engineer. Every teacher with whom
conversed, expressed more than ordinary salts
faction with the entire proceedings and M doubt
went back TO his humble sanctuary of learning
in bis rural home, greatly benefited by the exer-
cises of the day.
The next meeting of the Association will be
held on the Friday and Saturday succeeding the
first Tuesday in February.

Tha1kssiylae Day,

We h0be there will BIZ general JbsSfvahde
Of next THURSDAYS 18th instant, as day Of pub
lie Thanksgiving; in Rccordan6e With the Proc
lamations Of President johnson and Governor
Bradford. Let US adopt the languageand spir-
it of the Governors Proclamation:
"Not only has a merciful God spared our lives,
averted So far from our State the pesLilence
which has infested other lands and crowned
the labors of the year with abundant fruitful
ness, butin answer to thejprayers which have
been everywhere 80 earnestly uttered, He has
vouchsafed us the blessing for which all hearts
have of late chiefly and most deyoutedly yearn-
cd.
The clouds of war. which for the Last four
years have SO fsarfully darkened our prospects,
have been dissipated; the bright and blessed
light of Peace again illuminates our whole ho-
risens; esfraternal strife in which we have
been engaged is ended; the Nation has been
preserved, It's authority re estab lished and uui
versally acknowledged, and its people prepared
to re-unite as OF old, are looking forward again
to the glorious destiny of the American Repub-
lie under auspices more encouraging than
ever before greeted US. y i1 y ~tta
With hearts gladdened at the Thoughts ofthese
results and grleved only at the recollection of
the gallant men who have persisted 10 secure
them, let US join in the public Thanksgiving
that the National Authorities have already or
dered. Let upon that day abstain from all
ordinary business pursuits, and with meek and
reverent hearts, return thanks to our Heavenly
Father for these and all the other mercjes re-
ceived at His hands: and invoking His especial
blessing upon the Widows and Orphans of the
honored dead, let us entreat Him 80 to direct
the hearts of their survivors, that they may
prove themselves worthy of the great sacrifice
by which their deliverence has been accom-
plshed.
Service will be held in the Churches of Tow
sontown and Govanstown on Than sgiving day
and the people are invited to attend

The Responsibility of Parents.

The Icelanders have Law which makes the
Court inquire, when child is accused of any
crime, whether the parents have given the often
der good education. If not, the Court inficts
the punishment on the parents.
In the Massachusetts colony Laws of 1916, tits
written: g If any child or children, above six
teen years of age shall curse or smite their nat
ural father or mother, he or they shall be put to
death; unless it can be shown that the parents
have been very unchrstianly negligent in the ed
ucation of such children. ~ i1s-#f
= In the laws of Connecticut of 1850, parents
and guardians are required to have their children
taught to read and to learn the catechism, un-
der penalty of twenty shillings for each neglect
.therein.n 4-aas a-e-. s-
8 In Prussia and other German States, where the
people have attained such high degree Of gen.
eral intelligence every child is required by law
to attend the Public schools at least seven years
And there is law in Connecticut at this time,
which forbids employing children under fifteen
years Of age in any manufacturing or other bu-
siness, unless they shall have attended school
certain time, under penalty of S25 for each Of
fence sI * aH
- These statutes go to show how great in the
eye of the law is the responsibility of parents for
the education of their children. Such laws may
seem harsh, yet who will deny their justice?-
Children are born into the world totally helpless
and ignorant The tender muscles are without
strength, the mind is blank, the heart loves on
" by instinct. The entire being with all its ia
culties, physical, mental and moral is placed in
the care of the parent. Aud woe to him who
through avarice or negligence withholds from
his precious charge the light of truth and knowl-
edge, or carelessy suffers the prolific soil to be
sown with tares
We believe there was an article in the Public
School Bill reported to the Legislature last win
ter by Mr.. Van BokkeIin, requiring that every
child should be sent to school certain time each
year up to certain age Unfortunately, this
article was stricken ont by the Legislature. Uni
versal education is a question of national impor-
lance. 1t ought to be question of national pol
tics. We cannot too soon recognize the great
fact that the salvation of our country and her
institutions depends upon the education of the
people--that ignorance and its consequent, vice,
are fatal to Republic. And il parents will not
assume the moral and national obligations OF
giving their children suitable education, then
it right for the law to require this work at
their hands, making provision for those who are
needy, as means Of national safety and protec-
don.
Z Great and weighty is the responsibility of pa
rents in this matter. He who could stand on tn
shores of the Atlantic and on a dark night would
knock out all the lighthouses on it, would be
chargeable for the shipwrecks that might occur
during that darkness. But he who through ava
rice or negligence witlhoIds from bis child the
light Of truth and knowledge and suffers it to

The summary OF the crops of 1865, pub
lished by the department of Agriculture, pres
ents several interesting features. The wheat
crop is very deficient, both in quantity and
quality, the decrease in quantity alone from
1854 being estimated at IL, 1894 bushels.-On
the other hand, the corn crop was never sur
passed in any respect. In quantity alone the
excess over the crop of 1854, is more than 49,
100000 bushels. The quality of other crops is
equal to the general average of former years /;
and the total excess for 1856 over 1854, is 2l5,-

The Martvred President.

The last number Of the London Spectator re-
marks as follows, in long review Of President
Lincoln life and services
To our minds no funeral Grafton ever exceeded
in pathos that spoken by the President in dcdi-
eating AS a national cemetery part of the battle
field Of Gettysburg Nor can the message in
which, before the issue of the Emancipation Proc
lamation he entreated the border States TO sacri-
fee slavery. not at their own expense, but at the
expense of the nation, be easily surpassed in the
depth and esrnestness of its enireaty.
And again, speaking Of bis religious character,
it says:
Perhaps Mr.. Lincoln'S religious faith and SIM
plcity are the only traits which still remain un-
appreciated by the American people at large
For ourselves We cannot read his last inaugural
address, delivered only five weeks before his as
sassination, without renewed conviction that
it is the noblest political document known tohis-
tory, and should have, for the nation and the
statesmen he left behind him, something of sa-
cred and almost prophetic authority. Surely
none was written under stronger sense of the
reality of Gods government, and certainly none
written in period of passionate conflict ever so
completely excluded the partially of victorious
faction, and breathed 30 pure strain ofmingled
mercy and Justice.
