ignorant persons for baking powders (even
if articles are pure) they render the food
very indigestible, as the chemical action,
when they enter the stomach, prevents
their being digested. Of these mixtures
it requires but a small uantity to make
food very unwholesome. DIR. Price S

plain Words About schools.

A school might be very popular in Knox
vile, but not be tolerated in some other
locality. On the contrary, school and
system of instruction might be demanded
elsewhere, for which public sentiment here
is not prepared. What would the mass OF
our people think of an instructor who
should propose to teach arithmetic and
algebra without text books? Text books
in these branches should be used, but by
no means in the order and way they gen
orally are.) What of him, who should
Danish from the school room that nuisance
and time-killer las it is generally used),
the spelling book ? or, stranger still, who
should take primary pupils through two or
three readers and primary geography and
arithmetic with no attention to spelling
other than directing their attention to the
form and looks of the words they read, till
they can write them readily on their
states. "A few days since a mother told
me, with much satisfaction, how well her
little girl, who cannot read much and has
never gone to school, could spell. Loves
labor lost" and worse than LOST There is
no subject upon which the multi
tude speak with more assurance
than upon schools and education. There
is no other more intricate and with which
the multitude are less acquainted. There
is no other upon which more crude and
erroneous opinions are formed. A popular
school, even in which parents f1atter
themselves that their children are being
well educated, may be we'll nigh useless.
The children like their school, seem inter-
ested, bring their books home for evening
study, and the teacher, from time to time,
sends fiattering reports of good lessons,
and the inference is that the pupils are on
the high road to eminent scholarship.
This process may go on for years without
any substantial and valuable mental
growth. Mr.. Y, shrewd, intelligent,
leading citizen, but who has given no spe-
cial attention to education, and Mr.. Y, a
trained and experienced teacher who
knows the mind as an engineer does his
engine, visit school teacher. The pupils
recite their grammar, philosophy, &c, and
give the rules for the operation in algebra
and arithmetic with ready and off-hand
volubility, and while Mr.. X pronounces it a
great school and the teachers to be possessed
of eminent qualifications Mr.. Y sees
through all that show and superficiality
and would prefer that his child should re-
main at home at play than attend that
school. Almost all the graduates of some
schools are Independent thinkers, with
minds instinct with life, that seek the
truth on whatever subjsD they bestow
their attention, and march right to it by
clear, rapid and sure reasoning. Their
scholastic training, the way they studied,
recited and demonstrated their lessons es-
tablished this habit of minds, while some
other schools seldom send forth a thinker,
but, instead, minds filled with a multi
tude of facts, knowledge, so-called a heap,
heterogeneous, inert, and without form,
ard in most cases was worse than useless.
The actual business of life will develop q
much more efficient mind than such an
education. A TEACHER.
