Tills done, Supt. Dixon addressed
himself to the teachers, iu which lie as
sured them that they had come together
for the purpose of work hard, earnest
persistent work, and that they should
not depend entirely upon the Daily
Democrat for the doings of the Institute
but use their pencils and note books
freely. He also touched upon other
points of interest to the teachers, after
which he appointed J). C. Irwin, R.
J. Thompson and J. W. Eldred ushers

troduced Prof. A. N. Ruub, principal
of the Central State Normal School at
Lock Haven, who spoke eloquently
and well for about mi hour on "Self
Help." We have nether time nor
room to dilute upon the le.tture, or to

was replete with good sense, good
humor und practical knowledge.

Uie noun, pronoun, verb, adjective and
advero are modified nnd took the
j, round that a preposition, conjunction
and interjectiou are never modified,
dating tout with reterence to the
preposition lie was combatting what
is generally considered good author
ity, lie then laid down -these prop
ositus. The modifiers of nouns and pro
nouns are always adjective elements.
The modifiers of adjective and ad
verbs are adverbial eienient.
The direct object of a transitive verb,
active voice, is an objective element.
Ail other moUiliers of verbs are ad

from "Pure Go.d" was sung.
Supt. Dixon occupied the attention
of the Institute for half an hour witu
a talk upon the proper way to teach
language, and the lime to commence
the teaching of language, the sub
stance of wnich was tout as soon us

and participated in by II. D. Earl,

Johnson and Supt. Dixon, the con
clusion readied being that both oral
und "written methods, if used in their
proper sphere or proportion, possess
great advantages.
Prof. Raub took up the subject of
"Primary Teaching," und urgued
strongly against sending children to
school too young. Six years he said
was entirely too young. As for him
self he would not permh u child of his
to enter school eurlier than eight or
nine. He gave an instance of a young
man who did not enter school until
he was ten, and graduated in a Stute
normal school at fifteen. With re
ference to the length of the day ses
sion, he thought they should be short
ened and mentioned the fact that the
Meadville prinriry schools were kept
open but three hours a day.
The Institute then took a recess of
ten minutes.
After recess t lie Institute took up
the subject, "General Lessons Their

introduced, and delivered his lecture
entitled "Africa iu chalk," the finds
of which were drawn principally, if
not entirely from Stanley's works on
that comparatively unknown country.
The lecture was copiously illustrated
on the blackboard by Prof. Jones iu
ids inimitable way, who it is claimed,
is t he equal of Thomas Nasi as a cari
caturist. Then followed nnofher selection,
entitled 'Watching and Waiting for
Me,'' at the conclusion of which the
county supt. stated that Todd Ford,
who was announced to lecture to-morrow

"Elements of Success in Teaching"

gave it as his opinion that reasoning
faculties and determination are neces
sary. Emmet Hoveiieainp thought
that order and a knowledge of human
nature arc necessary. Mr. Fee said it
is necessary that you should be sure
you are right and then go ahead. Prof.
Johnson thought that character and
decision are necessary Mr. Mullhol
land said give your scholars plenty to
do, and keep them busy.
Prof. Raub entered upon a discus
sion of the subject of "Primary Read
ing'' and brought out a number of
good points. Among other things, lie
said that If we teach reading iu the
fiist, second and third readers well,
we have done a grand work. He
thought that the sum of good reading
consists of
1. Reading intelligently.
2. Reading intelligibly.
3. Reading attractively.
He thought that the pupil should,
liketheFrcnch.read silently (or intelli
gently) first, and aloud (oriutelligiblyj

able production, indeed. .
Prof. Jones contrasted Ideas with
words, showing, first how few of Ihe
former we have as compared with the
latter, and second, how little we teach
ideas in the school room.
After announcing the arrival of Rev.
Jessee B. Young, the lecturer of the

WEDNESDAY EVENING. .
The Institute was called to order in
the M. E. church at 7:45 by Supt.
Dixon, who announced the first exer
cise to lie n vocal selection, entitled
"Swallow, Happy Swallow," by Miss
Jennie Gresh and the Misses Squier,
which was very pretty.
Rev. Jesse B Young, the lecturer of
the evening was then introduced, who
took up the interesting theme of
"Echoes from Round Top.'" Begin
ning by outlining the position ol
the armies of Hooker and Lee as they
lay on the Rappahannock, he traced
the march of both from that point to
Gettysburg, which lie did with the
aid of a finely-executed map of the
country through which they passed.
He then took up the story of that
dnguimtry Held and described in
detail the movements of the several
forces and the result of each day's con
flict, not forgetting, of course, to nar
rate the circumstances attending the
death of the gallant Reynolds, and to
pay a high tribute to ids memory.
Wilh beautiful language he portrayed
the manifold horrors of war, and us a
relief to the dark and bloody picture,
interspersed it with humorous anec
dotes of the bivouac, the inarch, and
the forage. It was a rich (real, indeed,
to sit and listen to an actor in that
memorable conflict relate with elo
quence and fervor the story of those
three long and bloody days of anxiety,
hope and fear. His voice was fine, his
manner earnest and impressive, and
his language eloquent ami thrilling.
The apostrophe uttered in conclusion,
to his comrades who laid down their
lives that the union might be perpet
uated, was as line an outburst of pa
thetic word-painting as we have ever
heard. It Is such a lecture as every
man,, woman and child in the laud
should hear, as it illustrates the liner
qualities of the human heart.
At the conclusion of tlie lecture two
vocal selections, "Jamie'' and "Steal
Away," were finely rendered, when
tlie Institute adjourned.
THURSDAY MORNING.
The Institute was called to order by
Supt. Dixoil, and opened with the
Lord's prayer.
The question
fiCMotvcd, That general information
is an indispensable qualification of a
toucher, and should be established by
law as a branch and marked in the
certificate,
Was ably argued by Messrs. Rishell,
Thompson, Dixon, . Mulholland and
Eldred.
The conclusion was reached that
general information shorld be brought
into tlie questions on history, gram
mar, etc,., but should not be marked as
a branch on the certificate.
Profs. Rishell, Johnson, Mulholland,
Lenig, and Mrs. Johnson were ap-
'potnted a committee on permanent
certificates.
Prof. Raub then instructed the In
stitute on "Grammar," including tlie
use of the apostrophe. The apostro
phe is used to denote the omission of
letters, abridgement, and the posses
sive case.
Essay by Miss EfTie Butler, Subject
"I looming the culiara, winch was

A short recess was then taken, after

interesting talk on "Cultivation of
the Memory," in which lie stated that

3. Mnemonics.
4. Observe order.
5. Review.
G. Yoke what you know with what

Stnesslcy and Prof. Raub with refer
ence to the relations which school di
rectors bear to the schools,
Dr. Williams then sang with fine
eilect a song entitled "A Leap lor
Life."
Prof. Owen talked logically and well
upon "Millstones," showing tlie nu
inerous drawbacks which operate to
retard the progress of our common
schools.
After another song by Dr. Williams,
Rev. Young gave a treatise in 'Geog
raphy," in which lie l id down the
following rules
1. Point toward localities.
2. Locate current events on map.
3. Use maps in travelling.
4. Connect history und geography.
6. Use the globe.
6. Study Bible geography.
This done, lit urged teachers to lay
the foundation of 1 heir library by get
ting both Webster's and Worcester's
dictionaries, if they are able. If they
cannot get both, get Webster bv all

Music "When the Rippling stream-
e:s Flow," by Misses Heaiy and
Kline
Col. Sanford was then Introduced In
complimentary languoge by Supt.
Dixon. Instead of plunging at once
into bis subject, "Old Times and
New," as Is the usual custom, the
colonel went Into a humorous Intro
duction of himself, which worked the
audience into perfect good humor.
Tliis done, he took up his subject, and
for one hour und forty minutes held
the undivided attention of his hearers.
From his -home lie took his hearers
across the Atlantic to Westminster
Abbey, thence to Rome, Athens, Pal
estine, Egypt, China, Pompeii, and,
in fact to every country under the sun
except Australia, Patagonia and New
Zealand. Taking up the ancient won
ders of each, he depicted the marvel
lous achievements of three and four
thousand years ago, and showed most
conclusive that in many rospecs they
were far in advance of this boasted era
of cnlightcment the rinctccnth cen
tury, not forgetting the while to inter
lard his surprising statements of fact
wilh scintillations of wit and flashes
of humor. After devoting an hour
and twenty minutes to showing the
upcriorit.y of past ages in many
branches of art and science, and pretty
thoroughly satisfying his audience of
tlie truthfulness of the saying,
There's nothing new uudcr the sun,"
e laid aside the old times and turned
his attention to the new, and in a few
moments demonstrated clearly that
although in many respects we of. the
present day are far behind those of two
or three thousand vears ago, in others
we are far in advance of them, and
have this advantage over them, that
our inventions are more wonderful and
more useful to the world than the
pyramids of Egypt, the wall of China,
or the catacombs. Among other won-
lers of this century be mentioned the
sewing machine, the railway, tiie lo
comotive, the electric telegraph, the
telcpiione and the phonograph, none
of which the ancients had. Having
finished the comparison between the
old and the new. he paid a irlowinsr
tribute to the greatness and glory of
our country and her institutions, and
took his scut amid hearty applause.
We need hardly say that the audi
ence were pleased. Indeed, they were
more they were dcligl led. They
laughed and wondered, and wondered
ind laughed alternately during the en
tire evening, ami received impressions
that will not soon be forgotten.
Miss Florence Osterhout played and
sang with line eheel a ballad entitled
The Rose Blush," which was fol
lowed with a duett by Dr. Hartley
and Miss Squier, entitled "Who's to
Blame," at the conclusion ot which
the Institute was dismissed.
