who would be useful to:the whole school, to the
district, and to the public—and, in this way.the
children might all have several occasional op-
portunities, during the season of youth, of being
somewhat benefitted in a common school.
I would mention the instance of a person who
had been employed as a teacher fifteen years.
and who recently offered his services to a dis-
trict not for distant. He had numerous testimo-
nials. but after a fair examination, appeared to
be utterly unqualified and unfit to have the
care_ of a school. So plainly was this the case,
that boththe’ examiners and the district. consid-
ered it an imposition that such an one should of-
fer himseiffor such employment. But. in all
probability. he will find employment. and con-
tinue to receive wages, for which he will render
no equivalent service. And so it will continue
to'be-—.parents will pay money for which they
receive nothing valuable, and rudeness and want
of intelligence will prevail, until more interest
and care are given to common schools. But, it
is not always the fault of the teacher, if child-
ren continue to be ignorant, and uncivil, anti
indecent. There are some teachers and many
scholars who would do much more. and do it
much better if they were provided with a com-
fortable house, conveniently furnished, and in a
suitable place. Next to the poor children them-
selves, that teacher is to be pitied who is turned
into a building with a rickety door, shattered
windows. broken floor, under which a considera-
ble portion of a hurricane might easily pass;
benches which can neither stand still nor be
moved, and perhaps so high that any one short
of a six-footer must sit in pain. because the feet
would be “anxious in vain to find the distant
floor ;” writing tables high enough for the Ken-
tucky giant. and the whole. perhaps, so situated
that every passing waggon will stop all business
for a time, while on every side it is open to the
observation of the neighborhood. There are
school houses so "heinously unprovided,” that
indecency is almost 8 matter of necessity. I
have long pitietl those children who are sent
where. if they have any decency. they must
lose a part, and if I could say a word for them,
helpless and uncured for as they appear to be,
Why ‘ire those"
neatly dressed children poraded or grouped in
that peculiar manner? They have some sym-
pathy and delicacy left. But it may be said,
that a good situation for a school house cannot"
be obtained. This man will not sell his land,
and that one will notsulfer a house to stand op-
posite his lot, and so the children ofa whole
district, generation after generation, must suffer.
because tbatthese men have such an exclusive
right to that which they did not make. and per-
haps never paid a dollar for. Now these own.-
ers have no title to their lands but what was de-
rived from the public. and the public has re-
served rights which can be assumed when there
is occasion. If it highway is wanted. individu-
slownsrship becomes a secondary sleir. and
