Is it fact that the moment hitherto
inoffensive and mild dispositioned individ
ual signs a contract to teach school, he is
seized with an uncomfortable mania to
lounce upon every little innocent urchin
in his neighborhood ard maltreat him
>hamefully? Is there something in the air
of the schoolrOum that soitens the hearts
of boys and girls who are sometimes obdu-
rate at home, while at the same time it
inspires their teachers with a ferocity

Association fer the above mentioned
officers
On the conclusion of business the Pre.i.
dent announced the next subject in order:
In what Manner can this Association
Further the Educational Interests of the
County.
Mr.. kirwsR commenced by SAYING that
teachers should labor to make she orsaniza
ton permanent. The Association, in order
Co live, must further the educational inter
eats of the county. When it ceases to be
of educational value, it will cease to exist.
To make 1t serve the purpose for which it
was instituted, there must be harmony
among its members. Harmony does not
necessita:e the abandonment of principles,
nor simply hero worship but that all should
be guided By q common motiyc-rhe ad.
vancement of education. The Institute
subserves The same interest tina. the Asso-
citation does. but it is conducted differently.
The Institute is under the control Of one
man; the Association is essentially demo.
cratic, ahd, as consequence, gires more
liberty to the individual. Teachers should
then, labor to sustain an institute which
extends equal privileges to all, and which
is dependent on them for support.
Mr.. Walker continued the discussion.
Educational meetings will do good in ali
communities. This Association has already
advanced the interests of education. The
teachers present, even though they may not
derive any direct benefit from the discuss
ions Of the subjects on the programme, have
beer induced to give some thought to them
subjects. Teachers absent have been tene'
flied; the fact that a convention of teach
ers is beng held here viii make educational
matters be a topic of conversation, and
good will come of it. When teachers rea
lie that their attendance at associations
will enhance their reputation, all portions
of the county will be represented. An edu
catIonal colomn would lie Of considerable
aid to the Association.
Mr.. Barns spoke of an Association with
which he was connected thas was insignif
can't in numbers when organized, but which
Is now one Of the most successful in the
State.
Mr.. Walker proceeded to give his views
on the subject assigned him, Teachers
Certificates Certificates show authority
to teach, and are ~ evidence ct scholar ship
A first grade certificate shows industry,
culture and professional pride ii its posses

should disqurify a teacher, as it indicates

PACIFIC BRICKS.
john NAGLE, Secretary.

Messrs. Flood & O'Brien, managers
Of the Consolidated Virginia and Cali
fornia Mining Companies, says Tho
San Francisco Chronicle, announce
their determination to represent tho
product of those mines during the
month of May at the Centennial Exhi-
bition at Philadelphia. During that
month there will be placed upon these
two mines working force to take out
an amount OF ore sufficient to produce
$40, 600 worth of bullion. Ar
rangements have been made to employ
the Sharon and other mills for its re-
duction, and in June it will be forward
ed to Philadelphia. 1t will require Is
cars bearing 10 tons each to transport
the silver bars; there will be $500 bars
altosethcr-150 tons of solid silver
bricks. These will be exposed at the
National Exhibition as an evidence Of
what the Pacific coast can do. Such a
spectacle as this will, we are quite GER
tain, be complete and satisfactory an
swer to the question of the value and
the permanence of our mines. 1t will
90 further than volumes of writing or
rcams of scientific reports to give as

wealth Of our coast This ten millions
of gold and silver, bearing upon it the
MINIS stamp Of iineness and value, will
be the product of so days labor from
creviee in the earth only 1900 feet in
length. 1t VIII give such assurance of
the vast possibilities of our mining fu-
ture as to astonish the world The
equal of this bonanza deposit has never
been been found. From the Consolida-
ted mine alone there has already been
extracted $4,000, geo If the Cali
fornia shall, as we understand 1t will,
be put at once to sending forth its ores,
the next four months will add ST., 600
/ 600, and if Messrs. Flood & O. Brien
keep their promise for May, so, 000,00
will be added. Then if the two mines,
dropping down to their everyday habits.
shall yield $4,000, 600 per month, We
will have for the balance of the year
$4,000, 600, so that by the 31st day
Of Decembe of this year this 1900 feet
of the Comtock lodes will have added
S67, 100000 to the wealth Of the
wcrld-and all this within period Of
three years. In speaking Of this display
to be made at Philadelphia, we style
the bullion " silver bricks" it will be
understood however, that the bars con-
tain IS per cent of gold to so per cent
of silver.
The figures we have made above are
all within sober probabilities People
from abroad will reflect that $24, ooo,-
900 have within the past few months
been taken from the Consolidated Viz
ginia mine alone and that the Califor-
MIA, although fully opened and prospect
ed, is still virgin mine. These mines
are now upon the market, their shares
selling at price that gives little less
than S1oo, 900, 900 as the value Of the
two mines.

Mr. Kirwan said the question was =
whether uniformity could be secured inc"
ether way, but could II De as tceL secure
as By means of FREQ text books? Scho.
boards would be forced to ascede TO the
expressed wish of the district, and would
naturally act toward uniformity. Some
teacher. might not regard uniformity -
desirable, bit it is absolutely necessary for,
the success o. majority. There would
be great -aring Of expense. This board
having adopted series of text books, the
teacher would not feel at liberty to change
then fer others to which he was psrtisl
II ia extremely repugnant to many poor
people to apply to the town for books, -
it is a virtual acknowledgement of their
dependency on public charity. Pupils
would be more prompt in procuring needed
text books and works Of reference would
be obtained.

it now remains for the members thereof to
discharge the obligations resting upon
them as individuals, TO the end that the
Organ Of the Association" be we'll sus-

But the members Of the committee are
not a lone interested in this matter. Teach
ers and others having an interest in educa-
tiobal progress are invited to let their light
shine. The column is open for items Of
news and free discussion Of appropriate
topics, and We hope use will be made of it.
So faT as We are personally concerned,
We shall endeavor TO dispel the idea that an
educational column is necessarily a stupid
enc. Ii is fact that our School Journals
as rule are. famentahiy dry and iusipid.
They are burdened with articles Icing drawn

Deliver US from such. We shall attempt

Superih,, ndent our co operation in his
efforts to raisa the standard of education in
this county.
Reso7rrd, That moro attention should
be given by teachers to the svHdy OF meth
obs Of teaching and OF such scenses as are
of practical value in the school room! and
productive of true culture.
Resoired, That higher standard in ex-
animation, than the present, should be
required of persons, wishing to teach in
this county.

promoting the cause Of education, wherever
we are called to labor. Some Of these
means are teachers meeting and tie dis

Minutes of afternoon session read and
approved.
Mr.. Barns opened the discussion on Free
Text Books. He considered The subjec,
under the heads Securing Uniformity,
Economy, Equal Privileges.
Mr.. Viebahn was not absolutely N favor
of free text books. Uniformity may be
secured 10 another way. 1t is at the option
of schoJl-boards, but they rotely exercise
that power. 1t is true that frequea,
changes of teachers produce frequent
changes of text books, but the people have
j: in their power to remedy this BY encour-
aging the teacher 10 remain with then
permanently. The system can not be
commended for its economy. People are
usually lavish of public money.
Mr.. a." alker was opposed TO free tex
books. The State does enough now to-
ward the education Of the people. Parents
should not be relieved of all responsibility
/ They should BE as deeply Interested in .h'
, education of their children as the State il
/ the education of its citizens. School book
: should be owned by the pupils, and, in
number Of cases, those constitute The en-
tire library. In nun Der Of districts j
would be impossible to End eompeter
