At In many of tba largest school di»trlcU In thli count/ St la becoming the '• cotton) to employ «n ataintant teaqfear, ' whose boil i>eu it i» to take charge of '' tbe small children, or tb#*Priiuary D«- 1 1 partwtyt, afl it U called, it la important that tbe people ihonld conildrr tbe aatnrt and object of primary instruction, *" In order that the ccbooli should be properly organised, and ancb teachers proelded as are qualified for tba work. In ordar to call tba attention of tbo people to thie b'ghly important matter, I beg i. leave to awy a few word*. In School where only one teacher bag entire charge of scholar* of every I; grade, tbe require meate of the more ' „ adraoctd popila demand nearly all of the teacher's attention, and the 'little coea are doomed to ait in idleneaa all day, being extremely loeky if tbej art beard to aay a lesson more than once or twice a day, nod thee only a vary fc* mi rates, each time. It (pent upon them I" The firft object, then, when an assist ' sov teacher is employed, la to gTsde tbe j, gcbool bo that the primary scholar* will ' receise their fair proportion *J etustlon . Tbia will be tbe first objorc w\h the true trecber, and with all school officers who are deeply intateated in the great work of education.

assume a mixed character, as la aomelitAcs the ease. In aotue schools 1 hasc •nan both teaebers inatroctlng scholar* brlongiag to the tube visa* ; the principal taking aoroo of iba arholsrs belonging to tbe primary school, for theaake of teenriog tbe fasor of home partic-nlar Individeela hi the district, and the aaalau ant taking some of the more adraneed, for tba sake of obtaining a fueled i booor. This la certainly a waate of tbe eebolera' time and tbe people's money. It would be Jnet as wise for tba farmer to blra twp persona to hold one plow or to harrow at tba same lime, or tbe man building a house to hire two men to posh tbe same plane. Tbe second object will be the aecnrirg of a proper teacher to take charge of thfK1 little ones. ■ m # And It la here that we meet with tbe grant alnmbilng block. A great many people say that anybody can teach tba small children, and tber> fore anybody wbo offers to do it tbo ebawpees is employed. The Consrty Examiners hare decided that a license la net necessary for en assistant teacher, and it happens, in consequence, that — isiaat tascaere are often employed who would be suable, if examined, to rneftita tbe lowest grade. "Wow, bare not tbe people and tbe County Examiners nude a great mistake in (Me matter f la tbe opinion of the best and wisest edweaton of onr emery, k requires . talents of the highest order to tench ' 3S?igSS

is rapidly hastening when drones and imbeciles sod ignoramuses will no long* ' er be alloired to trifle with tbe roost precious yeers of childhood, aed peril tbe beet Interests of society by being allowed to ocrspy onr ichoolbooscs, and present, instead of assist, the netoral growth of the yootbful mind of tbe nation. !ftow often we bear tbe remark, mafle by persons who assume to teach, that it la so tiresome to teach none bet little ■cholera. They oaly wish tbey could "bats tome gaograpby or grammar, or something Uigur r; it would be so much more interesting." Wben*we hear sncb remarks we know, of a troth, that tbese .persons base mistaken their at ocation. They leach without interest, and the Children leant with disgoat; end though it might be more interesting to them to baes "aome grammar or something higher" — as tbey would probably be learning something themselves — it is rery evident (t would not be either interesting or profitable to those whom they attempt to teach. Tbe true teacher (we mean by this the teacher who makes it bis profession, and whose whole son! is in ths work) is In fiis , element in tbe primary sbhoo). How it fills his .soul with pleasure to hear tbe | f eager questions of the little ones, and to j see tbeii eyes sparkle end glisten as he j ( imparls to tbsm insirnclloe ! This subject of primary schools it beginning to attract that attention which . its importance demands At the Teachers' Institutes, where tbe , best and highest learned of onr teacbrn ! , assemble, (t receives tbe largest share of r attention. "If, at Edward Everett declares, the r child st four yean of age learnt more , than ths philosopher st any subsequent , period or bis existence ; tf, st Professor f Henry effirms, tbe character of tbe fodi- , v ideal is in a great measure formed,beI fore the seventh year; If, ss Is smarted t by competent authority, a child may be r taoght, during tbe Brat ten years of his , existence, to violator without remorse, every law, human end divine »tben -it ia impossible to oser-estimata tbe im- , portance of the Primary School." "W« I need not affirm fbat a new era is dawning npon ns. Educators are beginning „ to be governed by the principle# which , intelligent mechanics have practiced t npon for cenlnrivt, vis : that the strength and durability of a struct are depends in , a great measure npon the solidity of its . foundation.

, Primary !•• instruction whieh stands ' , highest io importance. In proof of this, ( . it may be stated that some competent . ; primary teaebers are receiving from $400 , t to $100 salary per annua in many parts ; r of tba eoootry. Teachers of fina talents < are laboring in tbe field where their ' efforts have so long been needed. May 1 j those wbo have pat tboir hands to the plow never look back! Tbn field is ' . broad, and we need more laborers *bo . t are worthy ef their hire. 3 These remarks have been hurriedly 3 written, and as before re«arked, only ' , for the purpose of calling attention to t this highly important subject.
