He Uolteves-tln Sewing, Cooking- and Manual Ti-atnlnT Schools The Duty of Directors, Teacher and Parents). Thundav Afternoon. Tlie announce ment that Governer Denver would be pres ent nt thin session of the Institute had much te de with crowding the court house, nearly eVery feet of space being occupied. All the allien were filled even the win dow sills and many of the ladies were compelled te stand. The hallways and corridors down stairs were filled with peo pee pee peo unable te get into the large room and hundreds were turned away. The streets wero crowded with strangers, nearly all of whom had been drawn te town by the in stitute and it was altogether one of the liveliest days known fii the history of county institutes. The afternoon session began with music, " Beulah Land," Pretty 1'car Tree," led by Prof. Mat. " Common Sense lu Education," by Dr. Balliet. I hare beeu requested te address you upon this subject, because a large number of persons net teachers are new present, and particularly en account of the presence of the directors. However valu able common sense may be, If In Itself Is net sufficient. A man may possess com mon sense and have no knowledge of ped ped aeogics. Yet common sense with knowl edge is necessary te make a geed teacher. Directors, in Judging of a school, should use their common souse. If a school dis gusts a child with knowledge, it is a peer school if it causes the child te love it and its acquisition, it Is n geed school : you need apply te it no ether test. All toacherj ought te knew that children love knowledge If Im parted te them in our interesting manner. Even dogs and eats have curiosity, which is a form of the love of knowledge. The speaker ridiculed the old use of defintlens: the attempt te teach a child what n noun is, by making him commit a dellnitien te memery: or the meaning of anything by memorizing definitions. He also udvo udve cated the election of teachers for a term of ten yearn, as Judges nre electcd. It would draw morenblo men in the public schools nnd drive incompetent men from thorn. ltweuld.be mere economical. It would be an Improvement upon the present method. He denounced the present sys tem of paying teachers according te the size of the child-the larger the child the higher the salary. It requires mere know ledge of pedagegics te teach a primary school than u high school. If your child is ill, de you send for a cheap " primary " doctor? If the legal Interests of your In fant ward are at stake, de you send for a "primary" lawyer? Use your common 80isn in tlicse matters and reform them. It will impreve your schools a hundred per cent. Music, "Bennie Doen," led by Prof. Mntz. Supt. Brecht then introduced in a few appropriate and graceful sentences the gov ernor of Pennsylvania. Gen. James A. Beaver, who was greeted by the hearty ap plause of the large audience The governor began his address in a humorous manner, saying that upon the printed pregramme Dr. Hlgbce's uddress proceeded his own, but the doctor had exchanged plates with him because the doctor could then speak an hour the time allotted te the governor while the governor could only speak half an hour the time allotted te the doctor. He had brought a pamphlet with him te read en the train, and the character of that pamphlet did net strike him as humorous until the train reached Lancas ter when he happened te think of it in connection with tbe purpese of his visit. He was coming te address a teacher's institute, and had been rending en the way a compendium of the laws of Pennsylvania en the subject of ins nltyl Alter these pleasant specimens of our chief executive's wit and liumer, which were f reeled v 1th great laughter and applause, ie said that he did net by any means con sider the teachers Insane, "although, te tell the truth, many of them were great cranks." Dr. Balllet, who proceded him and "whom we raised up in Bollefento," would net have said one thing If he hnd had a little mero experience He would net have advised you te criticise in the nowspapers the politicians of your school beards. In order te bring them te a sense of duty. " Why, bless your innocent heart," cried the governor, "that Is what they live upon Unit is their chief stock intradel And I bollevo" and hore he lowered his voice " that much of the newspaper abuse of politicians is bought, and paid for by the politician, himself, in erder te nrometho interest, sympathy and support of his own party." Tlie governor sold that Cel. Parker, of Qiiincey fame, had told him that Pennsyl vania ha'i a better system of school laws thnu aily -uthur state In tlie Union. Our laws are he Ucxlble that any intelligent school beard can construe them te meet any advance whatever in the science of educutien. Many people possess the notion that our school government is of n dual character ; that it is the duty of the direc tors te take care of all school interests out side of the school room te cellect taxes, take care of the propeify, pay teachers' salaries, &c, but that their duties step at the school room deer; that it U the duty of the superintendent and teachers te take care et nil school Interests inside of the school room te decide upon what shall be tuuglit. This is all wrong and has no warrant in the laws. The school directors are Individually nnd collectively respon sible both for the " what" and the "hew " of public Instruction. It is net safe te allow theeQ questions te be decided by teachers alone. The tendency of ineii and women who are engaged for life in this profession is te cause them te fit thuir pupils for performing, the same kind of work which they themselves are doing. Tlie speaker then described a school kitchen which he had visited in Pittsburg, and which pleased him greatly. He be lieved in schools of this kind, lie also be lieved in seu-Ins schools for girls, and in schools of manual training for boys. The school statistics of Philadelphia showed that the boys who devoted part of their time te manual training steed higher in all ether branches than the boys who devoted all their time te these branches. If I were te reform our schools according te my ideas, I would cut away the fanciful cornices and fillngrce work and take down the pretty cupola the Latin, Oreek and lesthcties and bieaden their foundations introduce manual training, sewing and cooking. Our pres ent method of educatlng boys and girls unfits them for the work in lite for which nature Intended them. Nine-tenths of our school girls are destlned, whether they like it or not.te beceme the wives of labor ing men, and we can confer upon these men no greater benefit than by educating their wives te de the things which they will hereafter be compelled te de. This st. blect w us discussed at length, the sneaker wlsliJng especially te Impress his remarks upon the school directors. The address t-eucludedauild the applause of the crowded house. Music: "Swinging in the Old Apple Tree," led by Prof. Matz, the audience standing. A recitation, "Johnnie Has'LIsted," by Miss Klsie Peet, or Marietti. The recita tion of this handsome school girl was delivered in a natural and pleasing manner and was cordially applauded. Dr. E. E. Higbee, state superintendent of education, was next Introduced. Education Is better than finogeld and inet-s precious than rubles. I wish first te consider the prejudices against public- education which Mill exists fii certaln quarters. I saw in a newspaper recently this sentence, "The hand familiar with the spelling book is spoiled for the plow." This U utterly, cempletelv, unqualifiedly false. Iek at the Amerlcnii Indian his hand was never spoiled Ter-tho plow by the spelling book. Compare with him these peo ple familiar with the spelling boelr. Loek at our vast facteries, our com merce, our systems of transportation, railroads, steamships all these fellow the spelling book lu the common schools. But these are mere material splouders. Upen the common school system depends .pur best literature. Where de we find itkSJ-k-m.''ei-A, .aLajfsn n. it iatfc.i,. ,L 07. Whlttler, Longfellow, Irving, Hawthorne? Wherever you tlnd readers. II you demand mere work In manual training a well as In Intellectual discipline, you must give us mere time. Te-day In many lecalltitawe have a school term et but six months, and the remaining six month tbe children run wild. The speaker censured and ridiculed the present aystem of employing teachers by the month, which turned them Inte " pedagogical tramps," and also tbe con temptibly mean salaries which were paid te them. Dr. Higbee delivered an able address, and the large audience manifested Its pleasure by frequent irursts of applause. Mimic ; floral NlrM "SUilnr m 'Savier and Friend, " led by Pxef. Mat. uur work." by Miss Mathllde Coffin. Parents ought te learn and acknowledge that teacher a well as mothers and fathers are Interested In the wellare of the chlMren under their care. Why are hundreds of teacher hore thin week? " Oh, " you say, " they are paid Ter It. " De you expect them te come here, peer inen una women as they are, and pay all their own week' expenses out of the petty salaries you pay them? They attend the local Institute and are net paid for it ; tbey crowd the Nermal schools, and are net paid for it, but they pay for it themselves. Mis Coffin then spoke of the objection once urged against the introduction of science, of kindergarten methods, and of manual traliitng.and hew they had all been overcome. These several things had all been taken up because by their use we find that we cart make of our pupila better men and women. We want In our boy and girls physical, Intellectual nnd moral strength, and all our efforts are directed te this end. This, and net the inere acquisi tion of dry facts, 1 the purpese of our work. Miss Coffin's eloquent address was warmly applauded. Friday Morning. The session opened with music,- "While the Morning Bells are Kinging," and with scriptural reading and prayer led by Kev. Themas Thompson, of the Memerial Prosbyterlan church, of this city. A kind of experience meeting was then held by Supt. Brecht, who acted as moder ator, or " quiz." A great number of teach ers, each speaking but a few words, called ntteutien te the points made by the teach ers who have been instructing them dur ing the week, especially by Drs. Balliet and llelges and by Miss Coffin. Musle, "Waking or Steeping," " Helv night," led by Prof. Matz, the audlencj standing. " Heward Parental Ce-operation," by Dr. Heiges. The speaker was greatly pleased by the criticisms, which he had heard this morning. He felt like the father who had ceme out second best In a diffi culty with his son he was glad te knew hew well Johnnie could scratch. I am glad te knew hew well you can scratch. Turning te the suhject of his address,the speaker dis approved of rewards, merit cards and medals as incentives te study. Children should be se taught that tbey will study from the leve of study. The co-operation of the parents In inciting this love is of vast importance and the speaker described several geed methods of obtaining this co operation. One of these is te held exhi bitions, with recitations, declamations, music, Ac, and let the children wrlte ana mail neat invitations te attend te their parents. Muslc,"Chrlstmas Time is Come Again," "Jelly Old St. Nicholas," led by Prof. Matz, the audlence standing. The audlence then called loudly for Prof. 1. 1' Hall, of Massachusetts, who speke for a few moments. Prof. Hall lectured before the institute last year and was greatly pleased with what he saw here, se much se that he would say te the teacheis as ene of his pupils once said te him, " My father told me te tell you te keep en doing as you have done." "An Address," by Dr. J. P.Wickersham. Thespeaker objected te t he superi ntenden V s calling him' "old." He would net make an address, but a little quiet talk upen what he ebserved in Europe He would net exchange the educational syBtomef this state for that of any which he saw in the Old World, but would greatly dosire te intreduce certain features whicii they possess. He did net go te Europe te study educational systems, lu his seven months' visit this year, but as he is always deeply interested In this sul)Jo2t,':e learned many things of value. The Paris exposition of 1878 was greatly superior te that of this year, se far as tlie oducatlenal exhibits are concerned. In all ether respects, the exposition of 1889 is the great est the world has ever known Infinitely suporlerto ours of 187C. The progress of Europe In education during these years lias been wonderful. Millions of dollars have been expended In overy land upon buildings. Yet, everywhere the tcachers and pupils nre doing mere and mero work outside of the- school room. I met them everywhere betanizing, geolegizing, visit glaciers, art galleries and museums. In hwltzeriand alene there are four pedagogi cal museums, and It contains a population of only 4,000,000 less than Pennsylvania. Teachers are everywhere turning from words te things from the book te nature. They s iv all ever Europe that they wet 1 1 rather dispense with their books than with objects and museums. Tbey are also de manding mere flexibility in the laws be that they can modify the fixed classifica tion of pupils, and Instruct each scholar according te his individual tastes, ten dency and capacity. Other interesting features and incidents of his tour, se far as educational svstcms are concerned, were discussed. The address was frequently applauded. Music : " Cradle Seng of the Soldier's Wlfe. " led by Prof. Matz, the audience standing. " Motbeds of Teaching Ferm, " by Miss Coffin. Our object Is te teach things, net words te turn the eyes of the pupil tnwaid the object, net the symbol. In order te teach the pupils te use their Imagination in geography Miss Collin insisted upon the primary study of color, form, ifcc. She illustrated the use of the study of form in goegrapiiy by a diagram of the centiueu upon tlie blackboard. Music, "Savier and Frlend," led by Prof. Matz, the audlonce standing. "Scheel Discipline," by Dr. Balliet. Geed discipline can be maintained togethor with aboiulnable teaching, if by geed dis cipline we mean it quiet room and geed order. A bad teacher may be a tyrant In a quiet room, but he Is a thief he is stealing his salary. Yeu must keep order by Inciting a love of study. The best disciplinarian is the teacher who never thinks about discipline, Just as theso peeple are the best who never think of being moral they are moral naturally because that is their inclination, a part of their character. Yeu cannot maintain discipline by methods alene, by leve alone or by moral suasion alene, though each of these is an important factor. Behlnd the "Hocratle method" you must have a Secrates; behind love you must have force of character; behind moral suasion you must have energy, The doctor's address was cordially applauded. The election committee was then called upon, and the report was read by the chairman. Mr. J. T. Weber. The following is their repert: II. E. nehman, Ephrata, 358 votes; Miss Laura Hess, Urn mere, 85S votes; A. S. Klein, Ephrata, 310 votes; J. II. Sheuk, East Hempneld, 311 votes; J. B. Stroh, Man lieiui, 305 votes. Signed, J. T.

Hensen, of Chicago, 111., upon the subject or "The Other Half." The lecturer was Introduced by Dr. Buehrle and began by referring te Ills residence in this state as pastor for twenty-two years In Philadelphia. He would consider his subject, woman man's ether and better halt under three heads: Equality, educa tion and enfranchisement. Then followed an ordinary comic lecture, and much of it was " low comedy." Doubtless, te para phrase the wordsef President Lincoln uien a similar occasion, " All these who like this kind of a lecture I should think that this is the kind of lecture they would like." But the people In the opera heuse last night were net all or this kind, for a large number left before the lecturer had con cluded. It was the smullest audlence of the week, especially at the close of the leituic. Institute Nete. The teachers of the Gap local district lustitute met this inerniiig. Mr, J. F. W.

" It was a surprising thing te learn from the lip of se eminent a man that Lord Bvron was a woman 1 Dr. Hensen says that woman arrives at new truth bv Intuition quick as lightning that man can only And eat what he did net knew before by the alew process of his logic, which proceeds by the syllogism.

Thore was n party at the heuse of Jerry R'eltzel, en Nurth Mulberry street, last evening, and among these who attended were a crowd of young fellows from down town, who had net been invited.

Wliut Steam Machinery Dees According te a recent publication of the statistical bureau et Berlin four-fifths of the steam machinery In the world has been constructed within the last twenty-five years. France has 49,500 boilers, 7,000 loco motives and 1,700 ship boilers; Austro Austre II ungary, 12,000 boller and 2,400 locomo tives. In the United NtaUs the steam machlnery, exclusive of locomotives has 7,600,000 horse-powor; in England 7,C0CCO; In Germany, 4,500,000; in France, 3,000,000; in Austre-llungary, 1,200,000. There are seme 105,000 locemotlvos, with 3,000,000 herse power, In the world. All the steam machinery In the world poasesaos 40,000,000 herse power. The one herse power of a machine eperated by steam Is equivalent te the strength or three ordinary herses, and the strength of an ordinary herse It equiva lent te the combined strength of seven men. Frem all this the statistical bureau nt Berlin draws the conclusion that' the steam machinery of the world does the work or 1,000,000,000 men, or twice the working population of the glebo.
