SCHOOLS IN MAINE.
The present prosperous condition of the Schools of Maine afford ample ground of encouragement to her citizens, and to all who take an interest in the cause of general education. Each year's development of the system and management pursued exhibits a marked and gradual improvement.
From the last Annual Report of the Superintendent of Common Schools we learn that the whole number of scholars returned is 238,248; the number of teachers employed was 6,696 ; of these 2,559 were males, and 4,137 were females.
The whole amount of money raised was $333,019.76, while that required by law was $281,148.00, showing an excess of $51,871.76. This, of itself, is a gratifying indication. The amount received from the State the past year was $54,398.96 ; from local funds, $16,990.57 ; and that expended for private schools, $23,813.00; forming an aggregate of $128,252.29 as the sum defrayed for school purposes. The amount raised by law gives to each scholar, on the average, $1.36 ; that received from the State, 30 cents; and from local funds, with the sum expended in the support of private schools, 12 cents ; forming an average sum to each scholar in the State, of $1.78.
There has been expended the past year, in the erection of new school-houses, the sum of $62,808.00; the estimated cost of all the school-houses in the State is $870,005.00. This fact exhibits how important an object of interest our Public Schools are. The sources of income to the Public Schools are the Bank Tax and the interest on the Permanent School Fund.
There can be no greater object of interest to the patriot and philanthropist than the training of youthful minds. For as sure as the harvest, by the blessing of God, depends upon the care and attention bestowed in the sowing, so docs the well-being of society and our stability as a nation hang upon the mental and moral culture which our youth have received.
Our Public School System is one in which every citizen of the State has an equal interest, for each is alike affected by its growth and improvement.
In our sphere and according to our ability, if we would come at once to the standard, our motto should be the noble sentiment of the Prussian Dintner, who, with what result is now known world-wide, infused his spirit into the hearts of his countrymen. "I promised God that I would look upon every Prussian child as a being who would complain of mne before Ilim, if I did not use my utmost endeavors to provide for him the best education, as a man and a Christian, which it was possible for me to provide." Such being the motto we would adopt, the time is not far distant when our Public School System will be in a condition unequalled by any in the Union.

The collection of manuscripts and pamphlets is a considerable and valuable one. Two volumes of Historical Collections have been published, the first in 1831, and the second in 1847.

Banks, Josiah Pierce, Jr., James Merrill, Associate Managers.
This deservedly popular Society was organized in 1813, with a respectable Cabinet, which had been increased by continued additions of valuable articles till it contained more than six hundred mounted birds; upwards of four thousand different species of shells, and ten or twelve thousand specimens; more than two thousand varieties of minerals ; a large number of rare fossils ; several cases of reptilia, crustacca, skeletons, and preparations of animals ; more than one hundred species of fishes, and numerous other specimens of interest which could not be conveniently arranged in cases. On the Sth of January, 1854, this whole Cabinet, together with the Society's choice collection of books, was con- sumed by fire. As there was no insurance, the loss of the Society was at least twenty-five thousand dollars. We are, however, happy to learn that, through the liberality of the citizens of Portland, and other friends of seience abroad, a new Cabinet has been formed, valuable in itself, and a nucleus around which, we trust, will speedily gather another still more valuable than that which was destroyed, and which will do credit to the Forest City and State.
