NOTHING DONE.

The Legislature will adjourn in a few
days. Nothing has been done on the sub.
ject of education. The County System
will be the only channel through which
we can expect to have Common Schools.
Experience has taught us that the people
are not prepared for advanced ideas on
education. The legislature reflects the
will of the people, at least, to a certain
extent.
The cause of education will suffer,
schools will languish and die. and the
croakers against free schools will have the
satisfaction of seeing ignorance and vice
abroad in the land. In the mean time,
let the agitation of the school question go
on. The day is dark and lowering, but
it will not always be SO, for educational
light is breaking in the councils of the na-
ton. There never was a time iu the his
tory of the country when the public mind
was more capable of favorable impress
sions respecting the establishment of a
sound educational system. The pulpit,
the press and the forum arc all pleading
for it. The subject is up everywhere. 1t
cannot be put down. There may be
doubtings in the minds of some, and 9TH
ers may cease their efforts, because the
opposition is great or the progress slow /;
but the friends of education will succeed.
We as teachers have a work to do. We
must work outside of the school room.
Our profession is not honored as it should
be. We are to blame for this to a great
extent. We are not interested ourselves
In the great work of training the young.
We lack self preparation. for many of us
close our eyes upon the grand and beauti-
full in nature around us, and content our
selves to walk blindly through the world.
Teachers, strive for the best gifts and then
you can see that it is best to honor
your professions.
According to the censu returns, there
are in the county over 5000 children of
school age, that is, over six and under eigh-
teen years. Most of them are out Of school.
We have in the county about seventy-fve
school houses, four academies, one graded
school and two colleges. There is no good
reason why We should give up the struggle
for public schools. Let us try the County
system. If there be any thing in it, the
children ought to have the privilege of en-
joying it. Unless We bestir ourselves
nothing will be done.

TEACHERS AND THEIR PRE-.
PARATEON.

The following is from the Report of
JOHN EATON, JR., L. S. Commissioner
of Education, and deserves a careful read
ing by every American citizen:
Gail educational improvements coacen-
trate themselves upon the work of the
teacher. He is protessedly the educator.
The young are specially and formally COIN
mitted to him for certain hours during a
long period of their youth. They bring
to him their various natures and the effect
already received from parents. from home
from the surrounding community, and the
influences of material nature. With these
germs of character placed In their hands,
the teachers make the nation. To 9TH
er class is the future of America so fully
committed. Therefore, what the charac-
ter of the American TEACHER is in the va
rious grades of instruction, how he is pre-
pared, what he proposes, what he does.
and with what instrumentalities he labors,
most deeply concern the body polite.
This statement of the responsibility and
public concern that centers in the teacher
implies no dis%paragement of the influence
of the parent, the pulpit, the press, the TO-
rum, or any of the other mighty educa-
tional forces. These, with the exception
of the parent, operate chiefly upon the
adult mind. Legislators. who determine
the very framework according to which JUS
tice among the people is administered,
can only make laws the pulpit is limited
to those who can hear intelligently the
press, to those who can read understand
inglv but the teacher determines to what
extent and in what degree there shall be
any intelligent reading and hearing, and,
in effect, largely shapes the sentiment
which decides whether the law shall be a
living or a dead letter"

New TEXT Book ON AsrRoNovv

NEW TEXT Book ON ASTRONOMY
ID. Appleton & Company, of New York,
have recently published anew and improv-
ed text book on Astronomy, by j. Norman
Lockyer. Mr.. Lockyer is an Englishman
and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical
Society. 1t is duodicimo volume of 312
pages, illustrated with numerous maps and
cuts, so that the whole system of this old
est OF the sciences, is presented as favora-
bly, to the student as can reasonably be
desired. 1t is in our judgment, the best
text books for Schools and Academies in
Astronomy, published in this country
While it is thus fitted for the use of class
es, it is not unsuited to the wants of the
general reader. 1t contains the latest re-
suits of the discoveries in that science and
is written in a popular readable style.
CoRNELL's PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY,
has just made its appearance, from the
press of the Appleton's, who supply us
with so many of the very best text books.
This has been prepared with a great deal
of care, and adds much to the value of the
Cornell series of Biographies. 1t con-
tains 10 pages of maps, and a great varie-
ty of map questions and 100 diagrams and
pictorial illustrations. Also an excellent
detailed description of the physical fea-
lures of the United States. 1t is not only
the last, but the best Physical Geography
yet published.
A NEW LITERARY WoRK.-A valua-
BILE work of rare merit has just reached its
last number, from the press of J.. b. Lip
pincott, & Co., Philadelphia. 1t is cnti-
tied Universal Pronouncing Dictionary of
Geographic and Mythology" containing
memoirs of the eminent persons of all ages
and countries, and accounts of the various
subjects of the Morse, Hindoo, and classic
Mythologies, with the correct ~pronuncia-
ton indicated, of their namos in the diff
ferent languages, in which they occur
10 every scholar this is a most valuable
contribution to our literature. The work
has been published in thirty-seven parts.
Super Royal Octave, two columns to the
page, and in all 2345 pages. 1t is design
ed to be bound in two volumes, making
the most complete Biographical Dictiona-
~ yet published. 1t has been prepared
with great care by j. Thomas, A. NJ. M. d.
and with an immense amount of pains
taking labor. Great effort has been made
to secure accuracy in dates, names and all
the facts stated SO far as possible. Every
article has been made as brief as possible,
and at the same time be able to present
all that was important to be said. One
can hardly imagine, without examining the
work, how vast an amount of knowledge
has been compressed into this work. While
it is fitted to supersede all other books of
its class, no mans library, with any pre-
%tention to scholarship, is complete with
out it.
