theme, is ha* been announced, is the qa«r£: What ia es?eDtial to the success of tichool? The first stept in forming a school is the making of a contract, by the people with the teacher. The aehool is gimply the result of the contract, and whether good or bad, sacc6Mful or unsuccessful, depends wholly on the manner in which the contracting parties meet their obligation*. The responsibility as in all other contracts, rest alike on both partie*. The failure of either is the failure of the enterprise. The people agree to support the school the Jeaoher to teach it These two things embrace all that is essential to iu success. The one is the arch, the keyatone take away either and the superstructure must fall. A school may be aupported in two ways by money and by .influence. To support a school, then the people must pay for it. But why must they pay for it? Because it is for their benefit. When a man builds a house for himself, oomrnon honor prevents his asking his neighbors to help him, common honesty preventa his asking the curpentcr to make it for less thnn fair wages common sense prevents his asking either lo be at auy risk in the enterprise, and fear of the common execration of the commuuity, prevents his asking the carpenter to risk a cent of his just wagea. The same consideration should prevent a community from asking their neighbors or their teacher, to be at any expense or risk in their school enterprise. If a commuuity wishes to have a fine school house, they must pay for it. If they wish musie it must be paid for at

For if ho attempt to inforcc his rules, unruly scholars will leave the school their bill unsettled infirm themselves' for life, defrauding the teacher, and wronging the school. To compel a teacher to bear this loss is the gross•t est injustice. No safe business can be done unless tho parties are respon tible. ltosponsibility has some interest at stake. The millionaire is responsible, because if he does uot pay his debts the sheriff will sell goods i. below their value, and pay them for hiu). The man who is doing busineys t-or credit must meet his obligations or his credit is gone, and his business at an end. Tho scholar must be responsible by having something at stake.

~~T*'

Kvery successful school in the country recognizes this principle. In free schools if a scholar is unruly the gift of free tuition will betaken from him. lie will be expelled and not be gratified by the thought that tho school has lost money. The people can support a school by their influence, directly and indirectly indirectly by letting the school alone, and not attempting to assume the powers of the teacher directly by always speaking well, of it, and respectfully of tho teacher. Hut why should the people let the school alone? Is it not their school? Yes. Are not their children attending it? Yes. Have they not a right then to say what branches shall be taught? Yes. And how uia'uy weeks there shall be iu a term Yes and how many terms in a year? Yes and who shall teach the school? Yes. Ah they have chosen some one to teach the school have they? Yes. Then it is his business to teach is it not? Yes. It is not their business to tcach? .No. Then it is their busiucss to let the teacher do it, is it not? Of course it ia. Then you see why the people should let tbo school alone? But in what doce letting the school alone consist?^ general terms it consists in doing nothing to support it. In specific terms, it consists of allowing the teach cr to teach, regulato and control the school in his own way and by his own means, and in permitting him to exercise freely, every power delegated to him in the contract. And above all. it consists in allowing him the free cxcrcise. of his individual personal rights as a citizen and free man. For ex ample, every one has a right to use hi§ leisure time as he sees fit. lie has a right also, to worship where he pleases, and board where he pleases. A man who would surrender these rights would be a cowardly wretch, not worthy to speak to a child, much le6S to tcach it. But why should a community speak well of their school? Because otherwise, they will get no aapport for it from abroad. And if they are to poor

support it right at

home, a6 some communities are, it will fail. Suppose a stranger should comes into a place and asks an influential man about the school, received the reply "I am anpporting the school myself,"(a lie on it* face,)"butcan not recommend

it to any one else. Do you think the

wag a trustee. But why must the I people speak respectfully of their teacher Why, if parents speak disrespectfully of the teacher, they teach the chi'dren to di.-respect him. And when a child censes to respcct its jtcacher, it might as well be taken from school for it is not in human nature to be taught by one whom we de?pise and hate. And the teacher, in

stheir

own ex-

peuse. If they want a piano, they 1 must buy it, and pay for it themselves. I If they wish all the learning of the universities taught, and that of the comiiion school too, they must not •V expect one mau to do it. They must hire assistants, and pay them. In short they must pay for the school in 9 all its departments, and details and if they want a successful school tlicy must pay the cash down. A cloud of debts will shut out the sunshine of prosperity from any enterprise. Tui I tion and incidental fees especially must be paid in advance. This is es sential to good discipline, It differs not whether the money is paid directly to the teacher or to the trustees, it •J must bo in advance. Otherwise the 5 teacher keeps order at his own cx^pense, at the haeard of his daily bread.

Nl\v all these commodities are iu the market and can be had for the cash. Have you paid for such a school as you expected? Have you paid for a pjuno? No, What did you do? you asked your teacher to buy one on his responsibility when there were only five persons in the whole community who would take lessons- and no posibility that they would take more than one term. Then a portion of you began to be dissatisfied, being disappointed in this hobby, ami to say, "O .that we had a live man at the head of the school that is, a man who would furnish you music at his own cost. Did you hire a music teacher? No. What did you do? you asked your teacher to do it and were again disappointed. And then "O that we had a live man !"—a dead man is one who will not buy a piano and hire a teacher on the promise of Jir: scholars for mie term. You wanted an Academy. Now Mr. Ilobbes said, in a lecture at Crawfoidtvillc a few weeks ago, that on? man could not propoiry teach a common school of 25 scholars. Then in an Academy where the number of studies is doub le, at least one assistant is necessary aud there should be two. Did you hire them? no. What did you do? you asked your teacher to do it. And on your pledge of support he did this much for you at his own risk. What was the result The whole income of the school hardly made respectable wages for the principal and so he was compelled to pay the assistant out of his own pocket. 1 suppose you thanked him for it no indeed. That was the wedge that split the school. Some withdrew their support because they did not like the assistant, others because they were disappointed in not getting the place themselves. Have you furnished your building for the proper accommodations of such a school as you desired Have you furnished the recitation rooms with stoves? Have you furnished the school with globes, charts, maps, aud philosophical apparatus? Far from it. You have not even furnished your teacher a chair. I have sat for two terms on oue borrowed from my boarding house. Have you bought a bell for your schoolhouse? no. Have you paid for your building? no. If I should attempt to teach auother term here, the Sheriff, iu all probability, would close the door before three weeks. Have you paid your bills in advance, thus enabling your teacher more easily to maintain order and discipline? no. What did you do? You have almost universally resisted this order of things some openly, and if possible, honorably, others secretly, as they supposed. For example, one man, a trustee, (who had the circular of the school in his hands, and knew the terms exactly.) the same who was "supporting the school himself, but could .not recommend it to any oue else," this man, when the grades of the scholars had been made out and sent home, took his child from school, telling his neighbors that the price was outrageous, nnd to

Parents think of this when nest you are tempted tj speak disrespectfully or even lightly of the teacher of your children. Some do think of it. And yet there are some so blind that they will thus destroy a teacher's power to benefit their children and then glory in the fact that they have made no progress, and boast of it, parading their shame as if it were their glory. A schcol originates with the people, and if they do not faithfully discharge all their duties to it, and it fails, they have themselves to blame. What is the history of this school How have the people discharged their duty toward it? How have they supported it? About nine years ago first heard of the Alamo Academy. Before that I scarcely kuew that your town existed, I onlv knew it from heresay for 'tis true I had heard ?onu things about Alamo. But hereafter I can say in the language of the Queen of Sheba, "the half had not been told me." You desired a school here, you desired that the higher English branches should be taught, in addition to the common school. You desired that music should be taught one desired this feature of excellence, another that. You all expected to have the cream off all other schools .gkiuinied of and bottled up here.

building to me, and after their pledge to assist me in gettin the public school in connection with the Academy if I wished it, after this did they not meet and pass a res olution virtually prohibiting the ad mission of the free school? And when the trustees, having become ashamed of themselves, met to rescind their un just resolution, did not the Odd Fel lows, moved by one of the trustees (the man of threats,) send down committee and threaten to sne the corporation if they admitted the free school Bccause forsooth, their arti clc of agreement said the Hall should be over an Academy, and if the free school were admitted the Hall would not be over an academy but over a free school! What words have microscopic power sufficient to describe the supreme littleness of the thing! Again, haveyou supported the school by speaking well of it You know more about this than I do. Have you supported the school by speaking well of the teacher? Toil know more about this than I do. But enough of this. I have now shown you some of the causes that have not been at work for the school. I will now show you some of the causes that have been at work against the school, for this is due to yourselves and to me. Then I must say to you, (for I believe it is always proper to give the Devil his due,) that the failure of your school is not maiuly chargeable to your man of threats, but to your honorable men. There is a family, numerous, wealthy and influential, two members of which are school-teachers, and were trustees last term, none so friendly to me as they. ^)uring the vacation, none so full of promises as they. None promised as many scholars as they. At last, alas! the cat slipped out of the wallet. The two teachers asked for the position of sistants, I could not employ them, change came over the spirit of their dreams. One of them weut to the trustees meeting and proposed the prohibitory resolution referred to a moment ago, and then kept at home the two scholars whom he had promised me. And out of the whole family and connection, but one child came to school, and he does not bear the family name. The other resigned his trusteeship, and, Absalom-like, stood at the gates of Jerusalem, trying to steal the hearts of the people. "Capt. M.— do you send your children to the Academy?" "No I am not able." "Docs the Professor visit you, or is he too proud to visit poor folks?'' "I am a stranger ^in Alamo, and havo not got much acquainted yet." "Oh, that I were made judge in Israel, then should the stranger have his due! Oh that we had a live man, a man who would visit aud flatter the poor, bow and smirk to the rich, and like a beggar, ask alms for himself nnd the school, as I wovld do. Gentlemen, I 3aw long ago that it would be ueslcss for me to ask patronage for this school. Thqje were men engaged in the erection of this building, who designed it simply for a rainy-day work-shop. You have too many ex-officic schoolteachcrs, who want to farm in the summer aud pedagogue in the winter. They could not get hold of the school at first, while public expectation was high, so they, by flattering promises of support, pursuaded a stranger to come, intending all the while to let the school die just as it has, and while the people were discouraged by its fate, rush in, like vultures, and feast upon the carcass. Rethinks if you will carefully examine the sky, you will see them, even now, hovering in the horizon, "waiting for something to turn up." You have men who would suppoit no measure counter to their own private designs. Men who would sustain no tcacher, who would not employ them to whittle in the "work-shop." They remind me of the little boy who was afraid to go to the woods pasture for the cow, after his grand-pa had told him about "catching the bear." It chanced that he had a whistle, so he cast his eye about to find a large, brave boy, whom he might gain over with the whistle to go with him. About noon he met neighbor Jim. "Jim," said he, "would you like to have a nice whistle?" "Is it a good one "Yes, see how it blows." And sure enough it did toot nicely, for he had just taken the precaution to soak the old thing. About dark he meets Jim again, and says. "Jim,

The We3t especially, is forced to bear an undue proportion of the burdens of this unrighteous policy, for which her representatives in Congress do not seem to have either the back bone or the brains, or the integrity to demand a remedy. Of course when we say her representatives, we mean that portion of them who sustain the present abominable tariff, which makes fatal discriminations against the West, and in favor of the East.

It will undoubtedly be tho purpose of Mr. Yoorhees and those members of Congress whose views correspond with his, to endeavor to inaugurate measures at the approaching session of Congress to remedy this unequal, unjust and oppressive condition of things in the West and we shall look with much interest for their early action in the matter.—Lafayette Dispatch.

"Taking" ail Elephant. "Romeo" on the Rampage. An Exciting Seene. The war elephant "Romeo," belonging to Forepaugh's menagerie, and better known among showmen as "Old Canada," has been celebrated for years as being the most vicious, vindictive and mostrj-dangerous elephant in the country. He has killed, at different periods three of his keepers, and has frequently created the most, dire cousternation, besides damaging property to a considerable value, in his surly moods. Tt will be remembered that two years ago this winter he killed his keeper, Williams, at Ilatboro, Pa., and remained iu a freuzied condition nearly the entire winter, before he ould be subjected. Since then he has caused but little trouble, until Monday last, when he made his quarters, near ('ounersville, Tnd., the scene of considerable disquietude and no it tie danger. A day or two previous, tho female elephant "Lalla I'ookb," which Mr. Forepaugh had recently purchased at the sheriff's sale of Dr. Thayers's circus, in this city, was a in a in it meo, but was confined some distance apart.

Grant's Srhente of Repudiation. There is one point in Mr. Grant's rather pointless message which will hardly fail to excite universal attention, and provoke general condemnation. It is Mr. Grant's recomendation that the government shall repudiate its solemn obligation to p9y that portion of the public debt which is represented by treasury notes ("greenbacks''). y,.|'

To "put an immediate stop to fluctuations in the value of the currency," Mr. Grant can "see but one way, and that is, to authorize the treasury to redeem its own paper at a fixed price, whenever presented." And further on he says '-I suggest the propriety of redeeming our currency, as before suggested, at its market value at the time the. law goes into affect, increasthe rate for which currency will hi1 bought aud sold from day to day or week to week, at the same* rate of interest as the government pays upon its bonds."

If the market value of greenbacks at the date of the enactment of the law should be seventy-five cents per dollar, that would be the rate at which the government would "redeem-' this porliou of the public debt. It would, however,graciously allow interest from that date, at the rate p^id on the bonds, which (if the debt should be refunded in 41 per cent, bonds would increase the rate at which the government would "redeem" its promise to pay one dollar to 7fli cents at the end of the year, 84 cents at the end of two years, S8i- cents at. the end of three years, 93 cents at the end of four years, and iMii cents at the end of five years. In the course of the sixth year after the inauguiation of such a scheme of "redemption" by the proBo- cess of repudiation, the interest would amount to twenty-five cents on each dollar, which, added to the seventyfive cents that the government would pay to "redeem" the principal, would give to the holder one hundred cents for a greenback dollar.

If the market value oi greenbacks at the commencement of the scheme were seventy-five cents per dollar, the plan Mr. Grant proposes would be a repudiation of twenty five cents on every dollar of treasury notes in exis a whole amount. There are 6441,000,-

This was instantly resented by Rouico by seizing his keeper with his amount of the public debt, which the trunk and throwing him violeutly government has solemuly promised to from him against tiie wall.
