Tisi tors .ftie, Site fll formal UniTersiij , The Committee appointed to visit the State Normal School, at Peru, arc happy to sUto that It is.ln a prosperous condition. Tho pro cess of building up an institution of (this kind, upon abroad and solid basis, even un der the most favorable circumstances, is nec essariljr.Blow. Tha history of the Normal Schools through out theland, amply; attest to the. Justness or this observation. Nearly all the Normal Schools of the' older States were inaugurated under the most favorablo auspices;, costly and (suitable buildings had been erected,, and appropriately furnished; every necessary ed ucational appliance was supplied ;,.thd most accomplished. and experienced .teachers were employed; and such pupils only as had re ceived proper previous Instruction, were ad mitted to: the schools.' Still, in all cases,'they were slow toassume thodeflnlte and distinct form of successful training schools. The NormaiSchool of Nebraska was organ? ized, and has been carried forward thns 4ar, In' the face of many serious difficulties. Tho means at the disposal of the Board of Edu cation, have been quite limited ; tho school building was in an unfinished condition, and had to bo completed nnd furnished ';, the school was; and indeed stlll'ls, quite destitute of necessary reference books, apparatus and library; the pupils necessarily admitted to tho school have proved to be quite deflclont in their knowledgeof the elementary Eng lish "branches, and It has been found necessa ry to carry them through a. primary course of Instruction and training; and the school has been .in operation comparatively but a short time. Notwithstanding all this, it has been rapidly passing through tho various stages of formation, and, during tho recent examina tion witnessed by tho visitors, gave unmis takable evldencoof its superior efficiency, as compared with ordinary Institutions of learning in the State, in preparing competent teachers for our common school. It has not reached the high standard attained by many of tho older schools of other States ; but, cer tainly. In Its progress, the expectations of Its friends are more than realized. And the Board of Education, and the Principal of the school, are deserving of much praise for the marked energy and good sense, which they have displayed in tn'o administration of Its affairs. Still, although so much has already been done, and generally AcelT done,, much yet remains to, bo accomplished. And, while wo "regard Its post history, and present pros perous condition, as a sufficient guarantee for Its continued success, we feel that It not only merits, but neeclt.thesympathy a.ndjsqp port of all. trtle friends of popular education in Nebraska, and the fostering care of the Statu. The school building, to' are not misin formed. Was originally iritended nnd arragn cd for a. boarding school, and, though the Board of Education have greatly improved the building, thoy could hot materially alter the design. It Is neither heat nor Imposing In Its outward appearance, and Internally Is awkwardly arragned and ill adapted to tho. requirements of a Normal School. The build ing, however. Is not always a true Index of the character of the school -within. It cer tainly is not In the present Instance, for within this plain edifice are being laid, the foundation of, a noble school, whose Influ ence, in due time, will be felt throughout the State, elevating tho standard of teaching and the character of our.common schools. It can be mode to subserve an Important work, until the State shall have erected a more suitable and beautiful structure for her Nor mal University, when It Will still be a valua ble adjunct of tho school; The land belonging to jthe University is of an excellent quality, and may, and doubtless will' at some future day, be converted Into an experimental arm. The Principal, Mr. J. SL AIcKenzIe, Is an earnest, conscientious, nnd indefatigable worker, and a thorough nnd practical' teach er. Hlsiarge experience as a teacher in Ne braska,, doubtless, has proved highly bene ficial to him, in his present Held of labor. At all .events, he seems clearly to have compre hended the situation', and has shown himself to be well qualified to discharge successfully tho duties pertaining to his important office. During the post year he has been ably assis ted by Mr. P. M.Martin and MlssOlcott, both graduates of the Michigan State Normal University. As a teacher, Mr. Martin. Is exact, system atic and thorough ;, and his classes especial ly those in Geography and Mathematics In tho searching examination to which they wero subjected, reflected much credit upon themselves and their Instructor. Much at tention hos been given to music, vocal and Instrumental, and his services In connection with this Important part of the teachers in struction and training, have been truly val uable. Miss Olcott, Is also, In most respects, ai ex cellent teacher. Her classes, generally. In i their examlnatlonsi sustained themselves In a very creditable manner. Her pupils In the important, butgreatly neglected art of draw-. mg,, uispiayeu a laciuty anu sk.iu m inu use of tno crayon, that was quite remarkable; About SO pupils have attended t3:e school during the past six months; -JO pf whom were members of the "Normal Class;" the re mainder were connected with the "Seminary Department." Many of those belonging to, the, Normn.1 Clas3 have had more or less exper len ce In ac tual' teaching. This expcrJcrico enables them 1 to perceive clearly thenecesslty of a more thorough and complete' preparation for t&elr chosen calling, andjuslly to; appreciate t(bej excellency d the methods empjqyedin thehl course ot instruction anu. iruiutug. u suj renders them therriore eager to nvall Then? selves to tho fullest cxtentof the. special!

Set exerclscsleadlng questions and answers by rote; were discarded. No attempts were made at false dfiplay. The visitors were urgejl to take charge of theclaasesandconduct the axamlnatlpns la their own way. Thht, the visitors,, ,'however. .declined to do, as they wero quite as anxious to witness the meth ods arid aklil of the-teachers, in conducting the clasf exerclses,'as to test the knowledge of thopupUs. Th examination, as far as practicable, was conducted" by the topic method; and not the visiters' 'only; but all other persons present", were qui to free at all times to select the topics for the examination of the classes,- and to ask questions until they were satisfied that the pupils 'fully comprehended thp subjects under consideration. Tho methods employed lnl .teaching the highly important art of reading, and the reading of the pupils, we think, fall consid erably below the; requisite standard of" a Nor mal School. But generally,- the'methoda aro excellent'; "the teaching is earnest and 'thor ough, and the Intellectual activity pf the pu pIlK, and their proficiency in study, are high ly satisfactory. The ripeclal'object of tho school Is, of course, the tducntion of teachers, and the practical preparation of themor the duties.. of their profession. Tills is accomplished in two ways; 1st. By carrying the pupils through courses or study-in the different branches of science and literature of aa high a character as shall ultimately be required in thehlghest grades pfour common schools; 3d, ,By.a series of exercises In teaching, in which tho accu racy of.the knowledge acquired shall be brought to the practical test, and the' best means of communication ascertained by practical application.' The success of the school In the first of these particulars, especially In view of all the circumstances to be considered, is such as ought to bahigbly gratifying to oil .concern ed in its welfare. But In respect to the sec ond, the results are not so satisfactory. This deficiency we think. Is solely due to the fact that, for tho want of adequate means, the school has not been mode sufficiently prac tical. An hour has been devoted each day by the Normal Class, "under the supervision of the Principal, to the consideration of matters of general interest, pertaining to the art of teaching. Schoolorcanlzatlon.schoolroDorts. -methods pf teaching the various branches. means of lntercstlngparents lnthe school, of awakening mind, of securing regular and punctual attendance of pupils, &x, Ac., have all been duly considered. Members of the class haveTecn required to give object lessons; make out school reports, fca, ;and their efforts have been freely criti cised and re-critlslsed. This hour, we think. has been quite profitably employed; much valuable knowledge has been obtained ; many false notions corrected, and much skill acquired. It was, unquestionably, the best thing that could be done under the circum stances. Still, It could but fall far short of carrying out the true Men of a training school. It Is too theoretical, and not sufficiently prac tical; too much Uke'mtiklng war on paper, and not enough like actual campaigning in the open field, against the enemy. The remedy here is obvious, viz : a model school. Such a school should be organized at once, and so disciplined and taught; as to af ford the pupils an, exemplification of. what the public schools of the State should be, fur nishing at the uime time, a suitable field wherein, under the supervision of thePrln clpal,. they might, by actual teaching, test the extent and.accuracy of their knowledge. and the true value of theories and 'methods. For somo time past the teachers havo had entirely tod much work to perform, and it" Is a matter of surprise that their labors: have bee n so successful. Thqin tercsta of the school Imperatively demand that an adequate force of -teachers should be employed. It Is, per haps; hardly necessary- to add that- they should be amply and specially qualified for the ir respective offices. Every moment of the Principal's time du ring school hours, has been employed in con ducting recitations.. This, tp say the least, Is very bad economy. He should be free much of his time. In order that he might exercise a personal supervision over every department, and Interest of the FchooU The spirit of the schools admirable, demo cratic, liberal. We witnessed no lnd lea cat Ions of aristocratic feeling; no extrava gancies in dress or otherwise; no silly, detes table affectation or false politeness; no fool ish displays of any kind. Economy, sim plicity and frankness are prominent charac teristics. The moral tentiment of the school Is veTy high. Wesaw no Indications in the besirlng of the pupils, of n want of due respect for those In authority; none of that abandoned, lawless fecUng of opposition to wholesome and necessary restraint, and reckless d Uro garil for sacred things, so frequently mani fested In our western schools, and but; too characteristic of western llf . Due respect la shown to teachers and other superiors ; a proper regard forlawahd'a truo Ibvh for good government, are constantly dis played, and a becoming .spirit of humiltty andxeverence pervade the schools. We are inclined to theoplnoln however, that the teachers have not bestowed sufficient time nnd pains In cultivating the courtesies of tiia school room. Ce-rtalnly the manners of many of the pu pllsare not sufficiently refined., Thcyshould be not only respectful, but deferential to their teachers; Aiid in all their relations, their manners, should be ;courteous and elegant. Wn are not unmindful of the fact that. Ne- hruikalslrtthe far west, but in view of the high character, the special office of the school, too much Importance, we think, can noc be attached to this matter,, and the aim and.the efforts of the teachers In. this direc tion canhot'be too hlghi. The Well bred" man" nnd woman, the perfect gentleman and lady, should bathe models of the school. "Nfe feel that this school Is not sufficiently well known, nor Justly appreciated. And it Is a. matter of sincere regret that a larger number of tho aspiring young'men and wo jriiki of the'State, Intending to make teach in;; their profession, dp not avail themselves oflts special advantage.

Strange ideas some peoplo get. Strange, too, where they get them. They surely come not from Heaven; and they curse theearth. These ideas get enterwoveh Into the-mind uatillt is a complete tangle of errors. Then these minds communicate with each. other until the nation gets Into s tan gle of errors j an 3 ifee consequence Is treason, war, assassination, murder and all' minner of evil things. Some of these strange ideas are, that bon dage Is a beautiful thing; oppression is' good for man ; "slavery is a divine institution." The straneest cart of It f, bondage, oppression and: slavery are- right and beautiful for & certain portion of men. It is not good- for those "who ad vbcateit. towsrage! These Ideas work-out a belief thai ''thebTack'man'hasnd rights whicH the white man is bound to respect.' Could a inbreblaok-hearted sentiment eminate from the evil one ? A person with but a spark of intel ligence and a mere gleam of moral sense, Tvill ask : truly, has the 'black man no rights to be respected ? Th silly response coines1; Oh I because ha is black. The same reasoning would make It, the white man has no rights .which the black man is' bound to' re spect because he Is white. Which should be the slave, the black or tho white man, would then depend upon power and numbers. ' v '" ' Intelligence and moral worth de mand respect because of their Inhe rent power and grandeur, and beauty; not upon' the form or the color of the form in which they dwell. It shows a very iow appreciation of Intel ligence, a very small degree ofmbral attainment not to give proper respect to mind, a due regard to rights because the body Is black. Shame on such meanness. It disgraces humanity. It Is the duty of each human being: to develop, cultivate and Improve tho talents given him, let it he one or ten ; and he will have to take the' cohse' quences if he does not. And woo ta those Vho try to prevent the develop ment and proper exercise of mind, let the individuals be black or white male or female. Often oppressors and tyrants ap pear to prosper for a time, and nour ish like a "green bay tree," and tho people loose faith in rightand justice, and say : "See how the wicked pros per and the righteous mourn." But there are undercurrents silently at' work, and in the fulness of time tho I moral upheaval comes, and Indignant' Justice, says to usurpera and oppress ors: "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther;" and the banners of evil- idoersdragfn the dust, and just men. ;rejoice with exceeding great jor. Those who would take rights from others, walk in dangerous ways ; they tread' on slumbering volcanoes, and sooner or later they will be swallowed up in ruin. Let no one be deceived" by the apparent safety and sham pleasures of the wicked. Let no one fear to do right, though clouds and' darkness may be round about them, for they "walk in safe and guarded paths ; and In due time they will re ceive their reward, If they faint not; It is unfortunate for humanity, that so many think the world, and all things therein contained, -were crea ted expressly for them ; and Heaven and earth mnst be laid under contri bution for their comfort and pleasure. All the rest of mankind must do just as they say, believe just as they be lieve, Or march right on to perdition. I heard a man say, not long ago: "I read a great deal, but read only what our brethren write." Others, It they do not say this, act It. Xand my brethren are right; you and- your- brethren are wrong. Persecution and' strife are the consequence of such nar row views of things. The rights of: others must not be abused, for they are right and you are wrong. Of this .unjust assumption, comes cruelty and. slavery But It Is fortunate for humanity jthat there are others who are continu ally striving against these direful In fluences. They have reached a high er degree of intelligence; they have,. ttained n greater moral culture; they re willing to yield each one his rights, let him be black or white, and would scorn to intrude upon tho ighte of one hu an boing, and would onsider It a degradation to live on tho labor ond toil of others whom they ad brbUglit Into subjection to their njustice. Such ones will always trl- mph, though It may cost a great jamount of self-sacrifice in a constanfe- uevuuon 10 ngni, jiuu iruiu, uirougn ong; weary years. The Fifteenth Amendnrent is an ex ample of this. A few years ago sla very was holding high carnival in de fence of the demands of justice. Tho' 'first families" of the South were re veling amid the lash and chain ; the croans, and tears, and depredation of the poor slave. Those palatial resi dences have been swept away by the devastation of war. 1 ne besom or de struction has, passed over the land be cause of t"he curse of slavery. The plave-holder has worked out his own. ruin , anu uie leaaer, in conspiracy against a righteous government JefC Davis the infamous, like Cain of old,, is a fugitive and vagabond on. tho . earth. The oppressed black man is receiving" the respect in the Senate of the nation, which should ever be giv en to mind. Thanks be to-God who ever givetb. the victory to the right, and praise; bo given to those men and women, who have worked and prayed for freedom. And may the advocates of slavery fear' and tremble, and turn from their e.vil ways, lest a worse evil come upon.: them; and instead of keeping the minds and bodies of men in bondage, may they try'to "create peace on earth, rood will to men."
