What the Common Schools are
Doing.

We consider that Pennsylvania and
every other State whore system Of free
education has been in operation, is now
fairly beginning to reap the benefits OF
educting the masses. When it was an
nounced that peace was at hand, the
croakers began to forbode as to the evil
effects which would follow the the muster
ing out of large armies. Our own mass
cs were estimated by a rule which APP
plies only to the ignorant Hence it was
asserted that the disbanding of large for
ces would fll certain sections of the
country with lawless hoIdes of marauders
and tnat these men, disdaining labor,
would organize for rapine and plunder
But just at this point we may truthfully
asert that We are reapiug the benefits Of
our system OF common school education
The men who composed the armies which
fought the battles of the Government are
intelligent. industrious and thrifty citi-
liens. Every soldier in the ranks of the
Union fought for principle, on the sue
cess Of which rests his hopes of domes-
tic and political prosperity. Hence the
transition from peace to war and from
war to peace is the same to the educated
freeman. 1t is but an appeal to patriot-
ism to make soldier of an American
Citizen, while an order from the Govern
meat changes the soldier to the citizen.
Education, as we have already said, has
done this-the education of the common
school, which elevates the masses of this
country above and beyond those of any
other land in the world. And thus our
soldiers of yesterday--thc men who only
a few days since, it required the ster- est
rigors OF discipline to hold in check
will to, morrow become industrious and
peaceable citizens, adding by their pro-
ductions to the wealth of Government
which they have forever made imperish-
able by the impetuosity of their valor.-

THOUGHTS ON TEACHING.

Fault-fnding should be seldom or never
practiced 1t has the most pernicious
effect upon the minds of children; only
tending to discourage them, and render
ing their tempers sour and morose. Try
to find something which you can consist
emily and consciously commend, and you
will find it has far more cheering result.
When fault finding must be done at all,
let it be done in the kindest and most
considerate manner OF the two extremes,
| would prefer not to find any fault what
ever, than to do so continually. Many
children have been entirely ruined, by a
course of persistent fault-fnding, on the
part of teacher or parent.
Another evil habit which teachers are
apt 10 contract is that Of having to many
rules. They, very frequently, weary the
patience of the pupil, while they shackle
the teacher with unnecessary trammels
He is often obliged to break some Of
them, thereby placing himself III an awk-
ward and uncomfortable position, which
will weaken his authority considerably, if
not destroy it altogether Have but few
rules, and let them be as brief and com
prehcnsive as possible.
Situated as IA teacher is, he becomes III
himself centre of influence. How
careful, then should each teacher be, that
his example be exerted for good upon all
who come within the circle of his inhu-
ence. Pupils generally look up to their
teacher, and all their words and thoughts
imperceptibly take color from him. To
WELD this influence successfully, the tea
cher should have, first, good sound moral
principles. lie should inculcate both by
precept and example, love and obedience
towards God, and under him towards pa
rents, magistrates aud all who have au-
thority; also adherence Of all proiane or
indecent language, lying, stealing and all
other vices and respect and reverence
for all things holy and sacred
Next, the teacher should cultivate a
cheerful, amial lie and obligng disposition
1t viii 60 far towards producing the like
qualities in his pupils. Respect and at
tentiou to the aged; kindncs and forbear-
ance towards one another, should lie es-
pecially dwelt upon.
The personal manners of pupils should
also receive a full share of attention, I he
teacher should by all means, endeavor to
correct all improprieties Of manner in
walking, standing or setting. Cleanli-
ness Of person and dress is indispensable
to secure selfrespect and the respect of
others. There is more gained by atten,
ton to these little matters, than most per.
sons are aware of. It's these little things
that make up :he sum of lile.-Nncr's
