THE OBJECT AIMED AT.

The New York World, with charming
frankness, admits its expectation that res
toration would result in the restoration of
the Democracy to power It says:
s'Most certainly there is nothing which
would so powerfully contribute to the reac-
QUESTION by the Democracy of its old ascen-
dency in national politics, and only political
shutters will affect to doubt it. Is it then,
so surprising thing that the Democratic
party should act with view to It's obvious
interests2'
The way to prevent such result, which
every true patriot must dread, is to defeat
the Democracy thoroughly in the North
and this should be strong incentive to ac-
tiyity in the present election. Pittsburgh

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS.

MEssRs. EpiroRs lit win be seen by the
published notices that the annual examination
of teachers is soon to begin, and directors and
teachers caU, if they win, aid us greatly in
this work
Teachers can aid us by coming prepared.
Heretofore, many have come without pen,
pencil, paper, ink, or books of any kind,
some such have been supplied by us, others
have borrowed of their neighbors, and still
others have been compelled to drag through
the day, as best they could, under such disad-
vantages. Those wishing to acquit them
selves creditably, viii do well to bring with
them good pens, good ink, good paper,
Brooks Intellectual Arithmetic and MeGuf-
fy's or Osgoods 5th Reader They can also
aid us by coming ils time. Those who strag
gle in after the days work is begun, as many
are in the habit of doing, not only add greatly
to our labor and retard the examination OF
others, but they make it impossible for us to
give them full and systematic examination,
and consequently often get worse marks than
they could otherwise show themselyesentitled
to. The doubts are always considered against
such laggards, in marking their certificates.
Directors can aid us by making an effort to
secure the attendance of enough applicants
for all their schools. This we think can IN
most instances, be done if the proper effort be
made. Teachers are as easily hunted up be-
fore the examination as after. Ifpresent and
examined in presence Of the board as the law
intends they can be artieled with at once, and
there is no further trouble about the matter.
If enough are not present, the chances are
that all the schools cannot be supplied. Few
are willing to make trip to Bedford for
school at the meagre compensation paid by
most of our districts. Directors can also aid
us by having the school-houses, in which the
examinations are to be held, opened and put
in proper order, and if the weather be cold,
warmed, before nine o clock. 1t is impos-
sible for us to get there much before this time,
and if the house is locked, and the keys to be
hunted before it can be opened, if the wealth
er is cold and there is neither fire nor wood,
nor axe to chop it with, all which has frequent
~ Aappeheu' the examination must pe peSuh
late and consequently often be continued late
in the night to the great inconvenience and
annoyance of all concerned. 1t certainly is
not asking too much when we request Direc-
tors to see that their school-houses are open
ed and put in proper order in good season.
1t is no part of our work to hunt keys, borrow
axes or cut wood, and we object to doing it,
especially when we have quite as much with
in the strict line of our duty, as we can attend
to. If Directors and teachers will aid US in
the particulars above mentioned we shall be
under many obligations.
