'l‘o rue ’l‘caciiiiiv.’s Association. Gl:N’I‘LlMl:N;

At our last ntc:-ling held in this institution, on the 29th .\l;ircli, ult . having agreed to prepare an rd- dress relative to our fed: o-"cal I’:ct'c:sicr-, per- mit me now to suggest a few remarks respecting School Duties and School feelings.

In the first place, riiy inclination directs me to olfer a few words to Scholars by way of advice, hoping, that I may not be deemed too aﬂicious; my motive for doing so is calculated to promote the beneﬁt of pupils, as well as of those who have the charge of their education. Be assured i feel very anxious, not only th-it scholars should make a respectable ap- pearance in school, by their Il2lpl'0VGﬂl2i‘.I and good conduct, but also that their scholastic education may it the means of making them useful and res- pectable members of society. The first questionl wishito prop--und-to scho'ars, whether they have ever considered what a school is designed for? (l have known children to entertain very dissimilar ideas on this subject, whose actions speak louder than words, that they never took into consideration the utility of education ) If you are not. prepared to answer this quer allow me to answer it for you, or rather to tell you what I think a school is deiignad

A school then, is not designed as a place of idle recreation; where children meet together to talk and play; and in order to avoid work at home, they will go very willingly to school, so long as they are there permitted to spend their time in their own way. Nor yet is it a lace of torture and sutfering, but a place where children may learn those things which will make them useful and happy: for none can be very useful or very happy, if they have no learning. There are many things for you to learn which are to (it on to become useful men and women, and these are to be learned at school. You will not for- get, therefore, that a school is designed as the place where children are to lay the foundation for future usefulness and happiness; and all scholars who are disposed to not well, iv‘ be both praised and es- teemed. And now let me ask, if you have ever thought of the ditliculties with which your teachers have to struggle.’ Have you considered the unplea-

sant nature of their employment. and the riiany cir-: oumstanoes which tend to disslfect the minds of their

pupils? lfysu have not, I shall say a few words in the wny of explanation: As there are few, ifany oinployriients more useful, than that of a teacher of youth. so there are few more diflicult. I shall not attempt to enumerate all the dilliculties of the em- ployment, but some of them are so obvious, that you cannot help seeing them. You are aware that in every scho " "" various ' r " , views and feelings Now how can it be expected, that when thirty or forty, or even sixty of these are placed under the government and direction of one

‘practicable with the instructions given b the Boa

To stttetnpt_ therefore, to please all his

taught. scholars and all their parents, is quite ahopelesa

task and the teacher has no alternative, but to try to please himself and endeavour to comply as near as ‘ rd of Education and Visitor or Sclinols. ut in doing this, he has several perplexities which meet him at every step. Among the several of his troubles, is the insenslbillty and iiigratitude of scholars. Teachers Ofilll others, are in riiost danger oftloing wrong. How can it be expected. I t every act of theirs will be perfectly right; nlbo hat everything they do will be as correctly done, as if they had but one person to deal with, or but one thing to attend to and eiitlicient time for ietlectien. A 'l‘eaclicr is soiiietiines led to think, that certain conduct of the scholar proceeds from obstinacy or malice, when per- liups nothing in the world’ is further from his mind or intention at the time; and the conduct which the Teacher supposed to oceed from contumiiey, is found to proceed altogether frorii ditlidence or mis- undcrstandiiig. \Vliat en is the course, that a scholar corrected under these circumstances ought to

areas? Ought he to indulge in angry, and malignant eelings against his Teacher, for having done what lppt.-:it‘ctI to him to be right? My view of this is, that the scholars should address the 'I‘eiichers pri- vately and respectfully on the subject, and in this iniiniicr, it will be very easy Io l8lIl0\’0 any false im- pression from the mind; and I presume to any, that no Teacher, when convinced he has done wrong to ascliolnr through mistake, but will be nnxious to make all the I‘t'[‘|llfllll0l'l in his power. And further, Ittould insinuate to scholars, that the 'l'eaclier’s right to exercise niillioiity over them, is recognised and cszaliliciied by the Laws of the Country. And ivlieu your parents send you to school, they stthe some time IlZI'lSf8|' the ri lit to govern you while ere, to the 'l'e;ichcr under whose care you are placed.

By private letters received yesterday, from the Madgalen Islands, under date of let May, we are informed that some of the large sealing vessels had returned with loads of seals, but the smaller ones have not been quite so successful.

Errscrs or TIIE Winri-zit on CROPS AND 'I‘iu~:ias.—From the best information that we can glean from exchanges and corres- pondents, we are disposed to believe that the growing wheat crop has soldoln if ever looked more promising at this season of the year. As for the effect of the hard Winter and deep snows upon the soil, we. believe it has been highly beneﬁcial. Many farmers, particularly at the South, believe that the freezing has destroyed numerous insects and pests of the fnrrn. The effect upon trees, particularly in the rich lands of the West has been anything but hcneﬁciiil. 'l‘ho

At the south, great destruction of sweet potato seed has taken place. In some sections, it is said, the entire stock of seed has been destroyed by the unpre- cedentedly cold weather of the past winter, against which neither master nor man had made any provision. The cold has been comparatively more intense at the South than at the North; the low- est range of the thermometer, however, seems to have been in the middle portion of the Western States. the ice started at St. Paul’s, Minnesota, on the 4th of April; and at Oswego on the 16th, Lake Ontario was open for navigation; while Lake Erie, above Buffalo, for anght we have seen, is still closed in this vicinity, very little owing
