ACCIDENT, Md, April 9, 1877.


Editor Republican - We notice
that there is discussion going on in
Baltimore between the editors and
certain school men, in regard to a
change of school books, and the
multiplicity of studies provided for
school children in modern times.
Having given the matter cOnsidera-
, bic attention we areinclined to think
that both are right. The course of
instruction for all children, is very
nearly the same up to certain Pc
piOd, but beyond the common rudi.
ments of the English language, a
very wide field opens in which wise
regard should be paid to natural ge-
MUS and bent of inclination. Were
parents to oftener unite with the
teacher in seeking to discover the in
clinations Of their children, and to
endeavor to map their course accord
ingly, their progress in learning
would be much greater, and the sue
cess of the teacher would be assured.
1t is lamentable fact and deplored
by none worse than by our teachers,
that a large majority of parents send
their children to school, before know
ing even the letters of the alphabet.
Such children besides being a very
great annoyance to the teacher, are
sufferers themselves, from the evil
dent fact, that a teacher cOnnOt de-
vote to them sufficient time TO adj
vance them much, and by the time
they are fairly started on the way
they are already so large that study
becomes WeariSome task. If, how
ever, children We're first taught at
home and far enough advanced as to
he able to spell in words of two or
three letters, or two syllables, the
case would be different.
Many fond parents send their chill
dren to school with an armful of
books, thinking great results can b.
obtained in single term of II or IS
weeks. Of course the teacher catches
the infection, and all hands aim at a
rapid manufacture of the mind. The
show made at the close of the term
delights the parents, but it is all frost
work, which passes away with the
occasion, having served its purpose
of proving the skill of the teacher.
a slow and healthy growth of the
mind, the formation of the taste and
habits, which will only appear when
maturer years have developed their
tendencies, a solid and substantial
foundation in the rudiments, being
the first and primary object to be OBJ
tanned. Seeking thoroughness in
all things. Our teachers should
really be judged by their faculty in
imparting what they know, in a
thorough and practical manner
rather than by their requirements in
the higher and oftimes useless
branches. Certainly the higher the
standard, and the more varied the
teachers qualifications the better;
but this should not be accepted at
the sacrifice of thoroughness and
want Of adaptability to the work
which SO often obtain.

Passenger Train Attacked.

Tuesday morning as the express,
going west, due here about 3 o'clock,
was passing through Bloomington, it
was attacked by concealed parties,
who threw stones at the cars, smash
ing windows and otherwise DANA
ging the smoking and lady's cars.
Several of the missels came near in
f1icting injury to passengers. One
lady was sitting at window asleep,
when stone crashed through arely
missing her head, and almost bury
ing itself in the woodwork on the
opposite side of the car. If it had
struck her it would undoubtedly
have inflicted fatal injuries. In the
same car a stone barely missed the
head of a babe in the arms of its
father. Such cowardly miscreants
should be apprehended and dealt
with in such manner as to put a
stop to anything Of the kind in the
future.
