Though opening with an apology en ac count of his voice, for he was sull'erlng from a scvore cold, It wus well delivered. We arc told, said he, te proceed from the known te the unknown, from the near te the remote, and from the well-understood te that which is net se well woll woll tindorsteod: and it Has doubtless this thought which led the county superinten dent te select for him the subject of lead history. Thus, the recent struggle in this city ler the location of the new public building might threw light upon the strug geo which took plnce a century age for the location of the national capital. A primar.v election might threw light upon even mi electoral commission. Se. tee. the history of the organization of u township, or of n-i county, illustrates mat el a territory or a state, The local history of no county in the United States furnishes a better subject for study, nor ene inore instructive, than that of Lancaster. The spcaker illustrated this by mentioning u number of striking and interesting historical facts; that Lancas ter was ence capital of this state, and, for a abort time, in 1777, capital of the United States; that two governors of Pennsylvania are buried within a square of the court heuse ; that ene et them was prestdent of Congress when Washington surrendered his commission ; that the first canal beat in the country was built In this city in 1628; and that the llrst turnpike in the state, and ene of the best in the land, was built between Philadelphia aud Lancaster, in lT'.iJ, at a cost of $109,000. Thcse and many ether facts of local history Itebcrt Fulton and our ether distinguished inventors, our statesmen, our soldiers and our educators, our colleges, schools and philanthropists were mentioned as subjects of study in their rulatieu te the larger history el the w hele country. Laneastcrceiiiily pessessed ene of the first abolition societies, ene el the llrst advocates of woman's rights in Its best sense, the Quakeress, Susanna Wright, and the polyglot character of Us original settlers, of be many nationalities, has pro duced a race which In all departments of the progress of civilization and of hunun liberty li.is furnished distinguished leaders. Dr. Buchrle's address wus loudly applauded. Music "Tline Deth Pass Away," led by Prof. Carl Matz. "The Heart," by Dr. A. K. Maltby, su perintendent of the model bcIioeI at Mil Mil lcrsville, was the next subject upon the pregramme. Although u sciciilifie ad dress upon the structure of the heart and its unions functions, it was neither child ish, en the ene hand, nor dry, or ubstruse, en the ether. The speaker undei steed the rare art of infusing life and spirit into the dctaiU of science. He began his address with an amusing quotation w hich at ence put everybody in a geed humor. He Illustrated the construction aud action of the heart by drawings upon the black board ; llrst, that of a tlsh ; second, of a snake; and, third, of a human being. This was followed by a number of surprising facts concerning the hticngth of the heart and the amount of dully work It peiferins. Hoclesed an excellent uddiess, in eloquent language, and'w lth a pathetic illustration of the Mjer of the human heart. The speaker was heartily applauded. Music V Doparted Days" and "Pretty Pear Tree," led by Prof. Matz. " Hew te Intreduce Methods Inte ltural Schools," by Dr. T. M. IJalllet. Dr. Ualliet opened Ills address by mentioning the feet that many country teachers think that it is mero difficult te intreduce new methods Inte their schools than into these of the city. This is a mistake. He had taught in both city and country, and If the salary be the same would prefur te teach in the country. The country teacher has mero freedom ; his city brother Is te a certain extent the slave of the superintendent. Our school svstcm is democratic tee democratic. The school beards have tee much power ever methods; they have no right te interfere, in any way, with methods of teaching, for they knew nothing about theui. The time Is coming when they will be denied this authority; when superintendents, like judges, will be elected for a term of ten years, and teachers for life. Hut, under present conditions, the teacher, in niderte Intreduce new methods, must bring ever te his view of things both directors and parents. If teachers ca nnet de this in a country school, It is the fault, net of Its location, but of the teaeher's own lack of ability. Directors and parents were often unreasonable; controlled by prejudices and old, worn out or exploded theories, nut In some things they were ex cellent Judges. If a teacher pos sessed leal ability and character thev would be very apt te discover It in a ten minutes' coversatlon ; if he did net, all the certllleatcs and diplomas he jiossessed would net command for him their respect. He should endeavor te gain their geed will at the outset, and te main tain it by every lessen their own experi ence had taught them, and by overy rule drawn from the exporietice of ethers. The speaker then laid down a number of i tiles drawn Irem his. own oxperienco and founded in geed strong common sense and in common human nature. De net visit a parontfer the tirst time with a complaint against his child. Invite the parent te visit the school : let the children reel te their lessens, and praise theui te the parents for everything which they de well; say nothing about theso things which they de ill, but let the parents see aud hear for thomselvos. Held school exhibitions, and glvote theso children whose parents w III net otlierwlso visit the school a brief de- clamatien. All the family his uncles, his cousins and Ids aunts will turn out "te hear Johnny 8eak hU piece." Then glve au Illustration of veur Improved methods, but de net argue the matter. Simply allow thointeM'O with their own eyes, and hear with their own ears, liew much belter they are than theso te which they had become endeared through old custom. Again, when a child does miiiie plecoef work of extra nierlt, enclose it In a letter te the arcnt, mailed through the iMisletllce. The material for your object lesvins you can borrow fromiiie parents whose children attend your school from the farmer, a bushel measure; from the carpenter a rule; and from each something connected with his vocation.-no matter what, and vell will net only find that they will gladly lend you thcse thiugs,hut that each person from whom you have borrowed the subject of an object lovsen will very likely defend object lessens en this very account. He feels that he had "taken stock" In the method, because he has subscribed, some thing towards it. In fact, a teacher who docs net possess sufuricut tact and force of (haractcrte establish new methods in the u tttry by the exercise of a little diple macy of this kind, by a little harmless flat tery, and by humoring peer human nature as far as he may honorably de se.

Music, "Beulah Land," led by Prof. Carl Matz. The closing address of the afternoon ses sion upon "Hew We formulate Words," waa delivered by Dr. 8. B. Hclges. Great changes have taken place In Lancaster, said Dr. Helges, since my last visit, sev eral years age, te your county institute. Many changes, tee, 1 note, In the personnel of this body. Of the faces with which I then became familiar, I de net recognize mero then ten or twelve j and thin lack of permanency In our profession is ene of the chief difficulties with which we are obliged te contend. Slnce I last addressed you, I bare learned I did net understand many things which I then thought were slmple and clear. One of these Is the man ner in which we formulate words, t was awakened te a sense of my defi ciency in this respect by endeavoring te teach the meaning of words te children who hail nover previously attended school, or received any instruction. I then began the study of the philosophy underlying this Mibject, I read every work bearing upon it that I could procure, or of which I could learn riot only in KnglUh, but In German and In French, and I believe that I have studied harder during the past three years than ever befere in my life. Yeu knew that Max Muller holds thai without words we could net think at all ; aud that the language of a nation Is a clear and accurate chart, or map, of Its advance In the arts and sciences of Its progress in civilization. That words are ne-reaary te thought, I de net believe. There are times when the mind works with the rapidity of lightning are words necessary nay, are they possible at such times? Our pewer te fermulate words dc ?nds primarily upon the physical basis of the mind, which is the brain. We de net mean that old exploded pseudo-science of phrenology, or "hutnpolegy," as taught by npurzhelm, Oatl or Combe, the professor of which pretends by running his hand ever the surface of my brain te guage my ability in using it, and who may mark Imagination, 3; ideally, 0 ; aud number, 0. Leng age, the experiments of Fleurcns, the distinguished French physiologist, performed at Paris, upon the brains or the lower animals, convinced the scientific world that all this wns an hypothesis unsupported byaslngle fact But we speak of the facts brought te light In Germany by the vlvisectinnists. Hitzlg and Christz. liy vivisection a scieuce denounced by false philanthropists that is, by cutting Inte the brain of living animals, they discovered what is called the " area of motion," which lies upon the top of the head ever the parietal bone, and from which we derive the power ofgostio efgostio ofgestio ulation. They found the " area of sight " In the back part of the head above the cerebellum ; the " area of taste and smell " in the frontal brain ; the "auditory area " abeve the ears, and the " tactile area," or that from which wedorlve the seme of touch, lying back of the " area of motion." All theso are cennected by a tine network of nerves, and all are necessarily brought Inte play in the formulating of a slngie word. The spcaker then said that these facts would form the basis of ills remarks during the week, when he would illustrate them with his apjiaratus and charts. The doctor premises te be ene of the most interesting and Instructive of the educators who will address the instltute during the week. He was cordially ap plauded. Tuesday Jerniny. On Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday mornings the insti tute is divided into two bodies the teach ers of advanced secondary, grammar and high school grades meeting in the orphans' court room, and all ethers in the main room. enniAss' ceubt room. The morning session in the lower court room was opened with devotional exer cises, consisting of rospensivo readings, hymns and prayer, led by llev. E. li. Heed, pastor of Christ Evangelical Lutheran church, of this city. Preliminary remarks, by Dr. It. K. Ihichrlc. The oxercisos of thcse special sessions of the institute for teachcis of ad vanced uiluc. grades are hoped te preve of great Teachers who have practiced their profession for many years de net learn anything from instruction intended for young, inexperienced teachers. This is, theretere, a large stride in advance. The instruction hore given is intended for teachers of advanced grades. Dr. Huehrle, who presided ever the ses sion, then introduced the llrst speaker. Aids te Composition, by Dr. S. B. Hclgcs. The seaker opened his address by a ro re vlew of his remarks en Monday afternoon. He then Illustrated the formation and convolutions of the brain by drawings and models. The greater number of convolutions in the brain, the greater the power of the mind. In teaching composition, the pupil, until the age of sixteen, Bheuld nover be allowed tow-rite upon an abstract subject, " hope,' independence," eVc, but always upon some conereto subject or rather object, "an apple, u chair, a book," Ac, Ac. Children are net philosophers, but seers, feelers, tasters, smellers anu nearers. Hew de I knew that the philosophy upon which this Is founded is true? that these recent German scientists who have disco vcicd the brain areas of motion, sight, hearing, taste, Ac., are net mistaken? Dc cause that fifty successful operations out of soventy have been performed, .upon this basts, slnce ISbt. Theie have beeu mero successful operations upon tne urain areas man in consump tion, dlphtherla, scarlet fever, and In many ether diseases. An operation by trepanning the skull is perfermed upon a man who-has lest his hearing, sonse of touch or taste, and the lest sonse is re stored. Teach, for oxamble, a pupil the meaning of the word apple, by exhibiting te him an apple, and teaching him te ob serve its (iialities. Eacii sense area is brought into active play. He sees that it is round, feels that it is smooth, tastes that it is sour or sweet, Ac, Ac. The het or girl can then wrlte an in telligent composition upon the apple. Compare this rational, natural method with the old-fashioned method, "a-p, ap, p-l-e, pie, apple," and this was all they learned about it. Fer what is monieiy? Each memory is the relic of a past porcop percop porcep tlon gained by an organ of sense. The spcaker wished that each tcacher In the county pessessed a copy of Proyer's "Mind of the Child," (J. C. Applcten A. Ce., li&S), in which all thcse facts and their applications are ably discussed. Thoaddress was followed by a running discussion, and question ami answer, bo be twecn Dr. Hclgcs and the members. A number of subjects were discussed, among thorn that of marking pupils by porcentage, which the doctor declared te be a" hum bU'r from beginning te end." "Advanced Arithmetic," by Dr. Balllet. Dr. Balllet began by explaining that tlgures and numbers are very different thingf, A figure Is inorely a conereto symbol standing for an abstract nuinber. The amount of arithmetical knowledgo the pupils should acquire In each grade, or in each vear of their school life, was dis cussed. The Grube method of teaching arithmetic is new almost universally adopted. Theso who opposed It some years age liave almost altogetuorwithdrawn their objections. The doctor then discussed the number of different branches contained in arithmetic ; number work, figure work, lauguage work, teaching the pupil te sce conditions, explaining business operations, taxes, Ac. Pay but little or no attention, te definitions, hut devote all this time te teaching, by Illustrations, the meaning of the operations through which the pupils are carried. a general discussion followed in which Dr. iluehrle, James C. Gable, and ethers joined. "Physiology," by Dr. A. E. Maltby. Many pawns object te this study In the public schools and blame the tcacher for introducing it, although the law prescribes Its study. It is well te liegiu in ix slmple manner that does net roquire great techni cal skill en the part of the teacher. Take the subject of Joints. Thcse can be illus trated by theso of the pupils themselves. If veu ask for thorn the children will bring you specimens, se many In deed, that if you de net check them they will !e llable te turn your room into a bone yard. One child se Interested his parents that they boiled the flesh efT a cow's head, and the skull which he brought te school was the whitest, cleanest and best specimen I ever saw. A number of experiments, which can be per formed in the school room, were described In a clear and entertaining manner. Kvcry primary teacher should loam te sketch and illustrate his Instruction by drawings. Thoaddress was both amusing and In structive and held the clese attention of the audience. IK8TITUTK IK MAIM ROOM. Tuesday Jtfomfne Opened with dovo devo dove tlonal exercises, led by ltev. C. L. Fry, of Trinity Lutheran church. Music, " Ma jestic Sweetness." The superintendent announced the committee appointed te take subscriptions for the iVJtnfyfvrinfa Scheel Journal : J. C. Gable, city ! J. M. Feltz, Caernarvon ; S.G. Zcrfass, Ephrata; A. U. Lcsher, Baphe ; II. M. Stokes, Ml. Jey ; Bolle Mooney, West Lampeter MtssM. K. McCleary, Lancaster township. The superintendent also suggested that it would be odvisable fee the teachers te take a few notes of the lectures, as he pro poned te review the subjects during the week. "Advadced Artthmelle" was the tople discussed by Dr. Balllet, When the child Is taught figures he Is only taught ab stractly, net arithmetic. In any sense. Figures are nambera and are entirely dif ferent things. Notes In music stand In the same relation. The child alx years old knows the elements of addition and subtraction before he comes te school even though he may knew nothing of numbers. A brother or playmate may take ene of bis marbles during an absence, yet be knows en re turning that ene has been taken away; this is subtraction. If the child has been taught the numbers te ene hundred thoroughly, the teaching of arithmetic can be easily taught him. A child knows the elements of fractions befere he comes te school. This he finds te be essential in his play, or te knew hew te dlvlde uploer cake among his soveral brothers. He should net be given any rules for showing hew we obtain one-hulf of one-half, but should be taught te obtain it from the conereto by the division of lines or spaces, which was Illustrated by the lecturcr. Music, "Men of Harlech." A paper by Miss Mary Breslus, of Dru Dru mero, was read entitled "Importance of Making Geed Sllent Headers." Few pee- file can visit all the places of interest n the world, yet the bumblest reader can get a description of all that Is interesting by the master writers. Three things are necessary te make geed silent readers: Intorest in tne subject, con centration of the mind en the subject, and te form proper mental pictures in the mind. A discussion of the paper followed by W. G. Haupt, Columbia; O. Z. Hunter, Ephrata; F. 81 Greff, Salisbury: W. S. Taggart, Paradise ; Jehn Weaver, Leacock, and Supt, Urecht. Music " Paddle Your Own Canoe," "Sotnewhoro." "Itospiratien," Dr. Maltby : All rosplra resplra rosplra tlen In animals must lake place through ene of three different classes of organs, lungs, gills, or air tubes. In the fish this act is Iwrformed through the gills. Itospiratien ty birds is through the lungs, but there are air sacs distributed throughout their bodies. The ostrich has many aud very large air sacs. In water bugs, such as the scorpion, the air enters through tubes called stomata and is carried te all parts of the body. The higher erder of animals breathe through lungs. A number of chemical experiments were given by the lecturer, designed te show the action of the oxygen en the bleed and the changes of color the bleed irecs through by contact with it In the lungs; also ether oxperlmonts were given te show hew the contact of exygen with some different substances produces heat and hew it is maintained in the body. Music "Forever and Forevor." "Development of Subject" was the theme taken up by Dr. Hclgcs, in which he fol lowed the subleet taken by him in Mon Men day'n talk. The senses are developed by doing, the perception by perceiving, etc The names of the sciences are mero diffi cult te learn than the sciences themselves. Our system of teaching is false in net using the material all around us. Au apple was used by the lecturer te demonstrate that te distinguish the apple called Inte play the three faculties of the brain perception, taste and feeling. Beys should be made familiar with the objects around them, the plants, stones en the farm and animals. The description of theso should be given en piier, and by this means composition would be aided. Pupils delight te wrlte or tell about what they see or knew, if given the proper on en on ceuragoment and direction by the teachcr. SI!, DC MOTTC'S LCCXtTRK. A Sclentttte Dlscourse Illustrated by it Wealth of Apparatus mid Original Views. In splte of thuTuclemcncy of the weather the court houfce was crowded last evening, both citizens and teachers gathering te hear the lecture of Dr. Jehn B. De Mette, pro pre pro fessor of natural philosophy of Depauw University. Grccncastle. Indiana. The subject, " The Light Heuse, the Sentiuel of the Sea "a popular exposition of many interesting scientific facts connected with the protection of theso who "go down te the sea In ships "Is net a hackneyed one. Indeed, it is mero than probable that uoue present large and intelligent as the audience was had ever befere heard a lecture covering the same ground, and but few popular lectures have ever been de livered In this city which wero illustrated by such a wealth of apparatus and by se many original vlews. The llrst thing which struck the atten tion of each person, upon entering the court room, was the large display of scientific apparatus upon the lecturer's stand; the magic lantern, or storceptlcan, which steed upon a table in the alsle near the main entrance; and the bread canvas reaching almost te the celling, and stretching from the left hand of the speaker te the wall en the right hand of the audience. The lecturer, who Is a handsome gentlo gentle uiun in the ptinie of life, was introduced by Supt. Urecht, and was greeted with hearty applause. Like Hemer, he began iu the middle of things, losing no thus; and after mentioning the rolative area of laud and water upon the surface of the glebe, he Illustrated by a slmple experi ment the dlfl'orcnce in the specific gravity of water taken from the Atlantic ocean and the "beautifully clear and crystalllne spring water taken from a Lancaster hy drant." The Importance of this dlll'erenee te mariners was shown a fair cargo for a vossel in salt water being a very heavy cargo in fresh water ; the greater weight of salt water making its action in gales mero destructive, Ac, Ac. Au aiicmomo aiicmemo aiicmome tcr was then produced and the manner In which It registered the speed of the wind illustrated : a pressure gauge, and hew it registered its force; a marine dynamome ter, and the manner iu which it registered the force of the waves; hew the height of waves are measured; and hew the pouring of "oil upon the waters" changes tjie dan gerous overlapping wave Inte u harmleiti. rolling billow. These subjects were also Illustrated by views thrown uiouthe large canvass by Dr. Motte's assistant. Tlie perils of the sea were then discussed, and storm waves, water-speuts and ieebeigs described and Illustrated. A striking view of the Arizona raiumiag an iceberg was ex hibited, and also an Instructive sea chart showing the area w here icebergs are most common. The prccautiet.s against danger which modern selonee made feasible were described ; and the lecturer exhibited a low grade thermometer; the S. H. iudl-ana'slifo-beat compass, which had crossed the ocean -10 times ; aud a Walker's pat ent harpoon leg. Illustrations and de scriptions wero then given of the steam ship, from Fulton's Cloreiiiont te the City of Paris, the modern ocean greyhound that crossed the Atlantic Iu lle days and a few hours. The erae for speed meets with many difficulties In barnacles, Ico-ceverod shrouds and dense fogs. But the iKirlls of the sea are as nothing compared te theso of the coast, illustrated by views of Kirkwall harbor, a essel en a lee shore, and of the Ill-fated Oregon. Tin precautieus against these exist iu our pilots, buoys, fog horns, llfe saving and signal servlce stations, and a'save all in the splendid system of IJuhl heuses established upon Ithe coasts of all civilized nations. The lectuur related the hlttery of the most neted of theso and eieclnllv that of the famous Kddystene light, A large number of vlews or this torrlble rock were cast upon the canvas and explained. Vlews were given also of the Bell Heck, Skerry Skerry vere, Bishop Reck, Dhuhoertach, Wolf Reck, Chicken Beck, .Minet's Ledge and Flllatnoek lleck. A sixth order i resnel lens, costing M.OOO, was exhibited and Its actions explained In a aorles of experi ments, showing hew light houses are dis tinguished from each ether by the charac ter of their several lights the fixed white, fixed red, flash white, Hash red, Ac, Ac A number of Interesting anecdotes wero related of the keepers or thcse lonely beacons pathetic tales of their endurance, courage and sufferings. The lecture closed with a beautiful view of the grandest of all light houses, that which stands at the portals of old time's yeungest and greatest republic In the glgantle figure of Liberty Enlightening the World. The lecturer had held the closest atten tion of the large audience for nearly two hours, and he concluded amid their en thusiastic applause. llKFOJUS TUB MAYOR. A Queer Let erllumannri Dfimks Up te Get Justice. The mayor had Iu addition te Baltimore Joe five ethor cases, and four of the pris oners were as tough a looking set as was ever gathered together at ene time slnce Mayer Edgorley went Inte eftlce. One was sent te the alrashuuse.a second te loll and a third was shipped te Reading. The fourth was Rebert Armstrongs phrenologist, who claimed that he had just returned from Eurepe, dead bioke, and was en his read te Teledo, Ohie. He and the firth subject, a traveling printer, wero discharged. The Reading man,who gave his name as Daniel Grlggs.had a peculiar make up. He woie an old high hat which looked like a plpe crock but was badly crushed, lfls coat was a llttle cutawuy without a button, end his pantaloons wero away off. He hed en two pairs, but the basoments were out of each, ami the mayor did net wish te dlscharge bim in that condition. Officer Crawford hustled around and so se cured for him a alr or old blue treusers that some policeman had threwu away.but It was found necessary te use u gleve stretcher aud button hook te get them en him. After they wero en he looked llke a dude, but his nose, which looked as though a wagon had recently run evor It, sadly marred his appoarance. He was satisfied with himself and said that after he get into the country he would take off a couple of pairs or trousers and thou the blue eiks would lit him. liriunore Township Nete.
