The delay of the Prussans in attacking the
French has been constr ued by some as an evil
dence that the former were seriously crippled
by their late victories. The delay very nat
urally seems long TO these who have nothing
to do but look on, but with the actual parli-
cipants the time probably seems short because
filled up with preparations. Ordinary wars
furnish no precedent for the rapidity which
some OF our newspaper critics seem to ex-
pect. In the Italian campaign of 1859, one
of uninterrupted success for France-the
Austlians crossed the Ticeno April 81, and
almost month passed without active host.li-
ties. Then came the battle of Monticello
May 20, and another delay of ten days The
incOnsderable battle of Palestfo came Nav
81 and June l. Again three days after on
June 4, came the great battle of Magenta.
Then came another delay of twenty DAYS.
and on June 18th, the last and greatest battle
of the war was fought at Sollellno. Those
who have been expecting that the Prussians
would make no pause, fail to consider that
it takes time for an army to pick up after
battle. So far is the course of the Prussians
from being exceptional or Indicating severe
check that the contrary would be very unu-

BRIDGToN, Aug 10, 1870.
The Institute to-day has been welfattended;
many new members have now come in. We
notice other teachers from your city, also Mr..
Clarence G. Buck formerly of Portland, now
teaching in Boston, and sMr. Head, once a
teacher of Maine, but now principal of the
largest commercial college in California.
Twenty towns are now represented in the In
stitute. The interest and even enthusiasm has
been unusual. Teachers evidently mean bust
ness and in the right direction too We have
rarely seen so much practical work done in any
institute, in so short period of time.
The lecture this evening by Hon. Warren
johnson, State Superintendent, was again lis
tened to by large audience-Gibbs spacious
hall being well filed. The lecture presented
the present system of education in Maine
clearly and forcibly, and showed what's being
accomplished by the present educational forces
now in active operation.
Mr.. johnson is an effective speaker, always
making good telling points.
AUGUST II.
The Institute opened this morning by read
ing portion Of scripture conducted by SUPER
visor Webb, after which Rev. Mr. Wilson of
this place offered an appropriate prayer. The
usual exercises of the Institute engaged the
hours of the day, especially in grammar and
arithmetic. The lecture this evening was given
by Rev. DR.. Shailer Of your cty-subject "The
Ideal Teacher The lecture commenced by
saying all great works have their ideals exist
ing in the minds of the workman Every work
of Gods was the creation of hat was an ideal
in his mind. After presenting in a very clear
and forcible manner the connection of ideals
and their Outgrowths; the speaker veiy IA
mliarly asked the teachers of the Institute to
enumerate the characteristics of their "ideal
teaching" The responses came as rapidly as
they could be placed upon the board. Pa
thence, steadfastness of purpose perseverance,,
enthusiasm, cheeriulness, love of children, de-
sire to improve, faculty to impart knowledge,
soundness of judgment, Kindness conscen-
tiousness, etc. The DR.. then enumerated
some of the attributes that he should expect to
hnd In the ideal teacher--authority, order, dis
elimination, self government, love of children,
knowledge, ETC., ETC.. at the same time clearly
setting forth and illustrating how these char
acteristics belong to the ideal teacher. The
lecture was listened to with the closest atteu-
tlon by large audience. We think the teach
ers all felt that this was oftbc most profita.
BILE exercises of the institution. The subiect
was ust the right one, and DR.. Shalar knew
how to present it SO as to open new fields of
thought for our teachers.
Tomorrow the Institute will close with an
examination of teachers and an award of Ger
tificates to such as pass satisfactorily.

The Limit 10 the Duration of Office Hold


It is often asked what rule should deter
mine how many times an official should be
reelected TO office. 1t was dlnefcoce Vi
opinion on this question that caused the bitter |
controversy at our late District Convention,
and the mischief resulting from the disagree
ment is a warning that sounder ideas on The
subject need TO be disseminated in the com.
munity. 1t is difficult 10 find rule at once
Just, expedient, and easy of application. a
rule that will work very well in relation TO
some offices, may, when extended to others
produce very bad results. The system OF TO-
tation in office at fixed periods, is one of very
easy application, and in regard to offices not
requiring any special capacity or training, may
not produce any serious ham. Yet it is
founded on vicious principle, and when APP
piled to those offices requiring higher order
oftalent, it is altogether too crude to be toll
Grated. The same thing is true OF any arbi-
trary rule. In some ofthe States judicial ten
ure is limited to persons within certain aye,
and while this is less mischievous than the
system of rotation in political offices, it is too
blind in its operation. 1t deprived New York
of the services of Chancellor Kent, at the age
of seventy, when his judicial abilities SO far
from being impaired, had only attained full
maturity.
A rule is wanted which shall give scope for
the exercise of intelligence and discrimination,
and thus act with tlexibility. 1t should result
from combining into whole all the consider
ations which bear upon the case. Natural ca
paclty, acquired training, whether the incum-
bent has reacl ed the limit of his usefulness
on account of causes either physical or moral
whether any other man can be found so
greatly superior to the incumbent in natural
capacity as to justify the sacrifice of the expe.
rience gained by the latter, and lastly an al
formation in localities where it does not re
quire sacrifice of more important considera
tions-all these ale elements to be weighed
in the solution of the problemn, and according
to the accuracy with which they are COM
pared and balanced, will be the soundness O.
the decision. This method is necessarily some
what complicated, but it is not above the in
telligence of the people. Besides intelligence
vigilance in watching not only office holders
but aspilants for Office, is essential. As wei
might the merchant expect to succeed with
out watching the markets, as the people to Gel
good rulers without keeping an eye out iol
merit whenever it appears. Popular govern
ment can never be complete success if tn,
people will allow themselves to be enslaved tx

large.
The Prussian and French iron clad fleets
were recently in close proximity off the mouth

The Prussans hold all the avenues of COM
munication between Metz and Strasbourg.
A Berlin despatch says the concentration of
Prussian forces on the French territory con-
tinues. The First Corps of Bavaran troops
have crossed the Vosges mountains and bivou-
acked near the village of Dienierngen. Other
corps of South German forces will probably be
advanced to the support OF the Bavarians.
