All county super intendents, we believe," agree that their great difficulty is to find well qualified teachers, The ? demand is always greater than the supply, for the reason that schools are increasing and teachers,! -when thejr arnveat t prbfuaency, often seek more remunerative employment. The result is, thatT certificates are often given to persons ,of,t little-or no teaching qualifications, and v because such persons can be hired at a low price, the ." economical school board'f will, hire them" 1o preference to good teachers who demand more compensa tion. That this policy is ruinous to many, and perhaps the majority, of country schools, is a lamentable ; fact, and no one is in a better position, to judge of the results than a publisher of a newspaper. ... We frequently, receive epistles from those who have graduat ed, and some who have taught, or are teaching at our public schools in coun try districts, and it is quite, evident therefromj lhat sthe kowieoge tof the English language possessed by the writers is exceedingly meagre, although they have enjoyed the privileges of many years' instruction in our public schools, k ' . '"'"''' js..i, We know I' it is objected that the printers' standard is too exacting, that we have no riht to expect a studenfor a teacher even, to approach thepricti cal execution acquired y its every day experience Jn a printing office; that even eminent writers owe much of the leauty arid accuracy of "their produV tions to the practical taste of the com positor, and the quick eye of the prac tical proof reader. ' This may be the case in a few instances bat we main tain that this is none the less a dis grace r to the schools. Because rspme men, by .the foree ot natural genius and the necessities of the times, are requu -edt to express their views in a.manner cot contemplated by their early educa cators, only shows the requirements of the present age are greater than those of the past The standard of edudation must be raised, in order to meet the re quirements of, the -present and the Aturej : ' . vv.wj ; iyjys. i The teaching profession is now look td upon as a stepping stone to ? sdrne thing else, and not as a profession to be followed through,; life, with i honor and distinction." It was not so in the past. Income and Greece, in their palmiest -days, the teacher, as he iulvanced'in ge and wisdom, simply advanced in the line of his profession j: he tecamd the philosopher, and wm venerated for the good he had doae, and was still doing. True, he sometimes died, as ; martyr, tmt his name was writtenl'nig orr the pinnaclei- of fame, and deep: in I the Learts of the people, The teacher, now leldomhas r this high ambition, and seeks; with' many faooorable exceptions, to first pass an 'inspection, obtain a certificate, and then to get a school, so as to get board and clotbcs for the time befng; until :8omef thicg tarns up that will present an op portonity Jbr jjrpraotion, not panicalarljr ip the' profession, Imt In any other -fine of business that; offers compensation at higher wages, -, - ; In our remarks on the efficiency of schools, we mako no reference to par ticular schools, certainly not -thdSe of Burlington county, for we have every reason to be proud of our schools hero, but we speak of the general necessities of the State, and especially of the country districts. i Aj ,r ; - g. 4 4 ;,TU supply of competent, 'efneient teachers will work out all other reforms needed; in "our: school system. fA good tea'cher" will , insist ou ventilation,or hours' of. school adapted to the strength and capacity of the children, and will introduce practical instruction, such as will fit the pupils for tue business of life.; v;:, , . '-fr:, ; buliTying.' From the Journal of Education. . It is" unfortunate that there is a place in our vocabulary for the term "bully." But human nature, approaching, as it often docs, the brutish, necessitates the expression. 't',r'-.?-., '. 'Vt..T rx There is "bullying' on sea ship masters over sailors ; and on land, be tween ' "sharks of diffefen t degrees, and wherever men are found whose lower passions have been cultivated at the expense of the higher parts of their nature. - We have examples of this in places high and low ; among the rich and the poor ; a certain amount of the brute or physical force overmasters those who may have less. l uWe confess to a peculiar hatred of tne nnuying aisposition ever since our sdhool days. This spirit is not confined to full grownf men--rthe school boy un derstands it too well. It is 'that mean, contemptible spirit that dominates unjustly over the one who is often only ph vsically weaker than his tormentor. ; Nay," Wa know of many cases .where the boy. who was ridiculed, sneered at, trampled oa at school by the , heel ; of, prej udice, has afterwards risen as much higher thau his sneering, bullying contemporaries, as the eagle rises above the ground sparrow io Its lofty-flights. a f We have in mind a most marked instance of this nature, ;:i f s. $ a There is no man liviner. Derhans. who, considering all the c'trdumstancea, has made greater attainments in lan guage, literature and descriptive power, with pen or tongue, than 'Eli ha Burritt, the. learned blacksmith; and yet, when at school in his native village, he meekly bore the epithet bestowed by his superiors (7) of 'tow head 1" Now, almost every school will fur nish examples of rough,4 untaught, un disciplined, un principled, selfish boys, who fancy it is brave or manly to cause one in their power to auuer.) Who does not remember to child hood, scenes of torture, when the suffer ing consisted not merely in I the physi cal pain caused, but also in the sense of shame, anger, degradation, and in the pent up fires of indignation at the bold, dastardly injustice of the bully f 'ho that has experienced such personal - in sults can; forget3 the "offender during lifetime tTbo effect b terrible. on the career of the injured boy, sometimes catuing him to be estranged from soei ety, shaking fh is confidence in men and in himself through life. : Here is a matter for the faithful teacher to look into, .When justice thus falU in the street near the school , house, let the teacher set her upright again ; show the pupils what is and what is not true courags: teach them that the meek, uncomplainingf though often sensitive one, who comes under fist or foot of your "bully," is generally the manliest. Lqt no one in; school boast of his brute forced when unjttstly matched against another. . Let such an one be put to shame in the presence of the school, and fthus let all be taught that moral and intellectual attainments are vastly superior to mere physical prowess., . , The teacher will thus have created a public j sentiment,; and the teacher who cannot do this, will surely fail in his calling a sentiment which shall .be salutary, in the school itself, and he will have contributed his quota of influence towards lessening that demoniac taste tor prize i ring performances among grown up people called menl" i ( Where education has been entirelv neglected or improperly managed, we see the' worst passions ruling with un controlled and - incessant sway, v Good sense degenerates into craft, anger ran kles into malignity, .Restraint, which is thought most salutary, -comes too late, and the judicious admonitions are urged in -t vainv-i'.v-: Subscribe for the Republican. JUSTICE VERSUS LOVE. : . ' '- 1 - i . . - - , .. . c From the IteT6iuti6n,3 J -1 Women have been taught,Uhrough all the past, that the great and priceless treasure, of, man's love would make up to them for the disabilities of distinc tive womanhood. In this way, com pensation was to be made, and the bal ance struck between the exceptionally unfortunate condition of woman. : The doctrine for women , was, to give allbody and soul,' will and energy, time add thought abjectly, unrestrict edly; and for men, in retnrn for this splendid, lavish, magnificent -present, give love, only love. ; iln this way, .through long ages, the longing and sighing for love . have stifled in woman's bosom the demand for justice. She has been taught that the more unconditional her surrender to this principle, the more favor she would receive , from, Heaven. ThU teaching has dwarfed and warped, be littled and cramped her whole nature ; and the revolt which women are now making against traditional customs and methods of education had its inception in a glimmering idea of what justice is , that without it there is no basis for character, no perception of truth. Women at last have dug down to justice, and they find that it buttresses the whole universe. Take it away, and there is nothing but a show of thing remaining. They are beginoing to ask themselves whether this principle can safely be eliminated from any -of. the relations of : life ; whether man's capri cious, uncertain gift of love can com pensate for th terrible wrongs they suffer when justice i denied them; and the answer gent back from thou sands of thinking women, is emphati caly and indignantly, no:sj ;i : ; A new love creed is now ripe for adoption. It declares that Jove is worth loss wheu not based on j uatice. The province which - has so long been J abandoned to the caprices of sentiment; is itself to be subjected to that.crucial analysis, that modern spirit which weighs and : measures every . region of thought, and everv relation of life,, The new creed says the demands shall not be all on one side, and the concessions all ? on the other. Such a hideous doctrine only fosters the prac tical ' belief : in man's ownership: of woman. ; It says that demands and con cessions shall be equal; that an en ligctened woman's right to control her: self shall be sacredly observed. This new principle calls for a discipline of manhood, such as never before was dreamed of; it calls for aa education of the consciences of women which shall cause them to turn from honeyed love, be it ever so sweet, ever so intoxi catingbreathing its soul out in sighs, while weaving a silken chain to bind the will and fetter the - free motions of the wife.vl. tU- '-di, r s- i,; -r;. . The evmbolio garlands which Cupid twined about the hymenial altar of old were onlv prettily disguised chains to be hnng upon the limbs of; the bride. Man has always snapped the bonds at his own free will and pleasure, and walked forth - free master of his own lordly self, wdile as soon as the flowers withered, the chain began to weigh upon the woman's body and soul. We will have no more Garlands at onr wed ding fetsts which cover chains. They shall henceforth be made of innocent, harmless roses, with no sinister badge of slavery lurking underneath. ; ::;r:l ; . Tne Next Appoefiomment The House of Representatives how has 244 members; - By the new law. Congress under the next apportionment; is to have 234 members. The census returns indicate 1 that the population is about 38000,000, an increase of 7,000.000 since 18C0. This will give about 163,258 population to each member. The New England States will each lose one Member, Massachusetts losing two. New York will lose four, Peonsylvauia and Ohio three each. Of the Southern States, Virginia South Carolina, 'Loui siana and' Kentucky , will lose one each, and Texas will gain one. Of the West ern States, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin : and, Kansas gain tne each, ahdIUinoia and Missouri two. New Jerseyit is thought, may gain one, and is the only State on the Atlantic coast which will gain. Of the whole country, New England loses seven, the Middle States; moo, and the Southern States three,' while the West gains nine--tho Padifle States remaining as heretofore. --New Jersey Mechanic.

IUGII JLIFC Mrs, ' Dloba at Iong llraneh : ...5 1; f ;''v-;.;n , 1,; ; -'at-A ; In the middle of the season, the Rev. Mr. Blobbs, who is theologically " sound," sent his wife, who was physi ologically unsound, and their son Billy, to Long Branch. Billy, who is a pre cocious child, and whose father had cautioned him not to forget to write to to hini, penned a letter a few days after, and, unread by his moeher, sent it; 1, The same mail carried- to, Mr. Blobbs ; a letter from his wife. .We print both, letters below, i The, first, Billy, reads thus: " ' Dear Daddy : It's awful nice here in the country, and me and ma are having such jolly times! I think the nicest place in the world is a watering place don't you, daddy f At first it was awful lonesome without you, and says I to dear ma : ' When is pa coming up from the city, ma V Never, 1 hope, Billy;" says she ; your father is such a dry old stick, and we are so mnch better without him.": :::!':-i-:' O daddy I Yon wouldot know ma now if you had seen her betore she's looking so well and young. She has taken to wear such lots of fioe things ; and eur maid, Sally, says she docs'ot look older than many a gat of seventeen.

Your stfectionato'iony7 J Mrs Blobbs read as follows, the only point of eontrant being hatrit gives a different view of the same matter: 'MyDcarest Hosband : ( My health is a little better, thank the Lord, and I be" gin to enjoy the Sabbath-like peace of this place. I miss you very mach, and my thoughts are often with yoa ; but for the sake of your flock, I will not ask you to join me at present Dear little liilly and the Bible are my usual companions, though, when I seek it, I find a good deal of religious society here. Are you lonely without me, dear h usband t I hone not, - for the fresh, invigorating air here b doing me more good than medicine, and if I could re main until September, I believe I might be quite restored to my former health.' & ?-i?Uyi h -.u:- Q ive my fondest ; love to the dear sisters of .our ehurch, and tell them I remember them in all my prayers. I read your soul stirring sermon in Mon day's Inquirer. It filled my heart with great! peaoe and comfort. With love and many kisses, I bid vou adieu. Will write you again. Our Billy sends you a note, which yoa will receive with this. Your loving wife, LccY Blobbs. Mr. Blobbs, in a state more easily imagined than described, left for Long Branch , immediately after reading the abovo epistle. How Mrs. Blobbs 're ceived her lord, and master, we don't know, bat he has brought her back to Gotham. Last Sunday jhe -eat in her oldf ' pew at chttroh, looking very sor rowful. :ii The ? pastor, 1 Mr. -Blobbs, preached a very eloquent sermon, tak ing for his text the following: " Who cani find a virtuous woman f for her price is far above rubies: IIow BoYsCATcn, Gophers. No ticing a couple of lads, each with a live ifooher. and a string tied around , their hind legs, on the outskirts of the city t the other day our curiosity was a little excited as to how ihe boys caught the animals. -Upon , inquiry one of them gave a practical illustration by going to 4 gopher hole, and letting the rodent; into ittaking care to hold fast to the atrinir.
