3y whose agency, ai d by what
happy instrumentality must its ap
proach l>e hastened ? Heie. as. in
ili great enterprises, here is some
difference of opinion. Sonic have
urged that the establishment of
Normal schools and other semina
ries for the better edu. a ion of
teachers, and the ins ituiioa of a
more vigilant system of supervis
ion, by which our schools should
be t ffe tuailv guarded agains the
intrusion of the ignorant and iuef
ticieut tea her. as all d.a' is neces
sary to bring on this brighter day
Others haie zealously urged that
such preparation and such super
vision are entire y superfluous and
premat in a in the i resent sta'e of
the public mind. They say that
the public must first become mote
liberal in its appropriations for
school; it must at once double
the amount it has been accustom
ed to i ay to teachers, and thus se
cure, without further trouble, the
best talent to this vocation. To
this the former elius reply , that
jhe p lblie has seld an been known
to rpise its price, so long as its
van’s could lie supplied at the
present rates. They say tlitu the
lust cen ury Ims afforded ample
opportunity for the exhibition of
; this voluntary generosity of the
| p ib'ic. an Iyt we s’ill wt <o
see t'is anomaly in hum in pru
i deuce, of offering in a.lvnn e to
| pay double the price for the same
thing; for until better teachers are
raised up. it must be an advance
upon the present s ock. So there
is a divid.in among them, “for
some cry >ne ihiug and some an
the*--”
Now, I believe, in this case us
in most others, the truth lies be
tween the extremes. As the evil
ami plained of i, a mutual o.ie, as
lias already been shown—that is,
an illiberal public has toleraed in
competent teachers, and die iu
eompetency of teachers has en-
Imnced in turn the p rsimony of
the public—so the re nedy must
lie a public oue; the public must
be enlightened and teachers must
lie improved ; t lie pay of leacheis
j must be raised, but there must be
also some 1 hing 'to warrant the
higher ra e. s>ris ii easy to de
term ne which shall begin first.
A'e can hardly expect the people
I to pay snore iih they tint an arti
| cle worth in ire ; nor o;-, the other
hand, can we expect tlie teachers
to incur any considerable outlay
improve themselves, until better
encouragement shall bo held out
to them by their euipl yers. The
two must generally proceed togetli
or. Just as n the defending
►cole, here was a mutual down
ward tendency, s i Imre, be ter st-rv
ice vyiil command be ter p,.y, and
in toru tha libeiality of employers

j labors.
lii his condition of things, the
question recurs, wha is the duty
of teachers iu relation 10 their
calling ? I anawer, they are hound
to do what they cun to elevate it.
Lord Bacon said,“Every man owes
a debt to his profession.’' Teach
ers being supposed to be more ;n
--telligen' than the mass of the com
uiuiiity, may justly lake the lead
in the work of progr. ss. They
sliquid as a matter of duty, take
bold of this work—a work of sac
rifice and self-denial as it will he,
at leust for some lime —and heard
Iy do what they can to magnify
their cifflce and make it honorable.
Xu the meantime they may do
what they can to arouse the peo
ple to a sense of their duty. The
mere elighteneU are to some ex
ten with them already. The
press, the pulpit, and the lt-gisla.
ive Hbsemlilibi, all proclaim that
-omething must bo done. All ad
mit the faithful te icber has not
be-n duly rewarded, and some
are found who are willing to do
something tor the improvement
both of the mind an 1 condition of
the teacher. This is encouraging;
amd while we rejoice at the law
gleams ol light tnat betoken our
Lawrence ville ecrgia , Tuesday March. 4 tdß4,

H’ sp ue, how we can hasten die
“coming in of the perf.ct day.
Iwo many teachers are found
in cur schools without the spirit
for their work which is here iusis,
ed on. They not only have not
given attention io any prepaiat on
for their work, hut resort to it
from motives of personal Conveni
ence, and in many instancs.s from
a coos 1 lusuess of being uo ti t for
every-thing else! Li olhe- pro
fessions this is not so. The law
yer iB not admitted to the bur till
he has pursued a course of thor
ough preparation, and even then
but warily employed. The pnv
siemu goes through his course of
eadiug and his course of lec tir
es. and often almost d rough a
course o' alnrv'i.tioti in t|j9 conutiy
village while lie first puts up his
sign, before he is called in to heal
the maladies of the body. ft is
long before tie can inspire confi'
deuce enough in the people to be
i: ti us e 1 with < iflicult
cases of a,bug ancßmrv likely .lie
noon of life is pissed before ho
can consider himself established.
But it is not so with the teacher.
He gains access to the sanctuary
of the mind without any di.ticul v
and the most to ider interests for
bo h worlds are intrusted o his
■ruidame, even vv.ieu ho makes
pretension to no higher motive
than thai of tilling up a few
months of time no other .vise ap
propriated, and to no qualitiea
>ions but those attained by acci
dent. A late writer in the Jour
nal of Education hardly over esti
mates this matter : “Every strip
piing who has passed four years
within ihe wails of a college : ev
ery dissatisfied clerk, who has not
ibility enough to manage the 'ri-;
fling concerns of a common retail
shop ; every young f irmer who ob !
tains in the winter a short vaca-!
lion frcitn ihe t fils of summer ;
in slior 1 , every young person who j
is conscious of his imbecility in
other business. esteems l.imself fill
ly comp* eu* t > train the igno
rance and weaktn s of infancy in
to all the virtue at.d power and
wisdom of matin - r years ; —to
form a creature, the frailes and
feeblest dial heaven has made, in
to the intelligent nul fearless sov
uriga of the whole animated crea
tiou, the interpreter and adorer
and almost the represen ative of
Divinity !’’
Many there are who enter upon
the high emp'oymeut of teachinc
a common school as a se cordary
object. Perhaps .hey are stu
dents themselves in some higher
institutii'n, and resort tc this as a j
temporary expedient f. paying
their ho .rd while their i' f ob
ject is to pursue their own studies !
and thus keep pace with their
cl ts»es. Some make it a step
ping stone tosomi hing beyond,
and, in their estim.iti m, higher in
the scale of respect ibili y—treat
ing the employment, while in it,
as irksome in die extreme, and nev
er m nifes ing so much delight as
wheu tha hour arrives for the dis
miss il of their schools. Such
have not he true- spirit of the
teacher ; and if their labors are
not entirely unprofitable, it only
proves that children are some
times submitted to imiuent dan
ger, but are still unaccountably
preserved by the hand of Provi
dence.
The teacher should go to his
duty full of his work. He should
he i iipf: ssed with its overwhelm
ing iippqrtrnoe, Ha should feel
that his mistakes, though 'hey
mav not speedily ruin 'dm, may
permanently injure bis pupils.—
Nor is it enough that lie should
say "I did it ignorantly.” He ha*
assumed to till a place where igno
ranee hself issiu ; and in lifferenoe
to the vyeli'being of others isequiv
olent to wilful homicide. Ho
might as innocently assume to he
the physician, and, without know
ing its effects,give aresenic for the
coho Ignorance is rot in such cas
«s a valid excuse, becau e the as
sumption of the place implies a
pretension to the requisite skill.
Let the teacher Tien, well consul

Let him come to his w. rk only
