Died, in this city, on last Saturday
morning, Jerry Shirley (colored), re-
siding on Cooper street, aged 76 years,

man, correct in his dealings to u cent.
On last Sunday at > u, NJ, his re-

cemetery, east Of town, and many of
his white neighbors came and paid the
last tribute of respect to the good old
black man, who had lived in our COM

for number of years. In his sickness
he had the care of his white and color

HINTS ON TEACHING.
How to Govern-Govern Yourself,

III D. ls >.
Any teacher who fails to study and
know his own disposition, will never
make u successful instructor. Let him
ask himself the questions: How can |
best goyernP Must adopt the meth
ods OF llr. SO and soa Must | rule
with the rod, or guide by love?
| will take the liberty of answering
these questions for you, You can fol-
low the course of efficient teachers so
far as they coincide with your own nat
ural fcelingsi but to make any one
teacher Il guide for the general man
agcment of your school, will make you
feel awkward and unnatural. You can
not rule entirely by the rod; although
a proper administration of the same of
ten has pleasing effect on Il rude and
ungentlemanly lad, that will not stop
to reason about the propriety of his ac-
tions. But if you correct every misdc=
meanor by an application of the birch
in proportion to the gravcness of the
offence, you will soon have no time to
do anything but ply the rod. | could
recommend this system to no one but a
lazy, sleepy teacher who might get up
an excitement of this kind to keep him
self and his school from taking their
usual nap.
The next method then would be to
rule by moral suasion, or love, | am
sure this would be q better plan than
any | have mentioned. But II you de-
pend on it entirely, you will meet with
many dispositions that are hard to rule
by love alone. The question then to
answer, is, How must | govern my
school? If you can answer this query,
you have solved one of the hardest
problems in teaching and one on which
all else depends, You can not have a
good school without good government
You may be industrious, well educated
and conscientious in your labors, but If
you can not properly control your
school, you are failure as teacher

Should the Higher Branches of Math.
ematicS BE Taught in Our Coun-
try SchOolsP

Mr.. EDITOR:-In answer to the ques-
ton, often asked, whether the higher
branches of mathematics should be
taught in our common schools or not?
If you will allow me space in the edu-
cational department of your paper, |
will briefly consider few objections
urged against their being taught, and
advance u few reasons why they should
be taught.
The first objection to their being
taught is, that it is unnecessary at
this present epoch, as college and acad-
emies are so numerous, that whoever
wishes to continue their education to q
high point, may 90 to them. If this
objection were once carried out 1t
would destroy the noblest purpose of
our common school system, which is
to provi lie means of education for
those whom poverty prevents from
entering higher institutions. 1t
would also degrade the high stand
inc of our common schools, and de-
stroy their independence by making
them simply the rudimentary depart
ment of the academy or college, to
which we would have to look with
slavish dependence for our educators
and scholars, for then no scholars
would be of the gallant selfmade type,
that rise by thousands from our COM
mon schools. 1t is, to my mind, an in
considcratc and cruel objection. Take,
for instance, pupil quick to learn,
unusually apt in the art of master
ing knowledge, whose parents, (and
there are thousands of such,) are too
poor to pay for an academcal course.
Now the only objection of having the
school routine of only ordinary branch
es, is thatin few years he will
uluSLtl lHSlH ull' w Hul Snull nc uOg
We have in great many of our COM
mon schools pupils who are masters of
the ordinary branches in their l4th or
18th year. What must they then doP
Must their school days here end9 Must
they be forced to give up the bright
prospects that await developed genius,
and forget the hopeful aspirations of
their school days, and dwarf their
young mental and physical systems in
never ending manual toilP But, it
may be said If parents are solicitous of
their children's welfare they may, in
time, procure their children the means
Of an academical course. Very true, if
parents are solicitous, yet every teach
or of any experience can name instanc-
es where they are not, at least not as
much as they ought to be, besides there
are many instances where such is i'm.
possible; we all know the great advan-
tage of keeping q child, when once

THE WEST POINT CADETsH1p.
A ColOred Applicant is the Cause of
Bolt--JOseph Frazier the Lucky
One, With the Obnoxious Col
ored Man Second Best.

Last Friday was the day fixed by
Congressman Hale for the competitive
examination for the appointment at
West Point. The examination was
held in the school building. Fifty-one
young men had notified Mr.. Hale of
their intention to contest. Forty-cight
of them appeared at the school room,
and underwent slight examination by
n board of physicians, who rejected
four of them. Mr.. Hale began calling
their names for them to come forward
and get their numbers, and when he
called the name of Nathaniel Sawyer,
a young man Of color, some .Sevcn or
eight of the applicants (most all of
whom were from Carroll county, left
the room in a body and did not come
back
This left 81 competitors who were
examined in several branches that day.
That night the examining board looked
over the competitors papers and next
morning notified twenty Of them that it
was no use for them to compete furth-
er. They then went on with the exam
nation of the remaining fourteen. AZ
ter the examination was completed
they selected, to be thoroughly exam
ined by the physicians, the five highest,
whose names and grading were as fol-
lows:

j22, average 81.
Joseph Frazier, 5l0 average So.
j. NJ Traughbcr, $40, average So.
NJ. f. Martin, i92, average 81.
The physicians rejected Lewis, Mar
tin and Sawyer, and reported the phys
ical condition of Frazier as 80 and Of
Traugber as 81. This left Frazier the
victor
Prof, Schmitz, of this city, and Lieut..
Crowdcr, OF Trenton, were members OF
the board who conducted the mental
examination. We did not learn the
names Of the othrra.
The bolt was considered foolish

it,
Sawyer was educated in the coiored
branch of the public schools of this
city, He is one of Prof. Henry Madi-
sons (colorcd) scholars, and his stand
ing in the examination puts 4 feather

We hear no complaint whatever of
any uhfairness practiced by anyone
connected with the examination.
Frazier is 20 years old and weighed
ljj pounds.

The best place to learn something
about school teaching is at an Institute.
Every teacher that ever attended ono
knows how much can be learned in q
