Curtain rte at 8 r. M-, the house beiDg crowded " from pit to gaUery." Solo Mias Mime ITiI, of SoaaerieL Encore. County Superintendent IWrkey then introduced llev. Sam Small, in hia lec ture, "From Bar-room to Pulpit, He said : Ladies and Gentlemen : It is related that on one occasion an old and decrepit ttranetr, came into an F-istern city, and walked about the naiket !ace until he s.iw some bird cases bought one of them, o;ne.l it, and turned out the bird. At first the wiugs of the cap tive refused to do its bidding, but at leopth nature asserted ibielf; it winded its way up till it caught a sight of its na tive hills, and then winged its way afar off to its native. forestA. So the old man did with all the birdf, and when asked, Why do you do this?" be replied, " I was once a captive." So I say to yon I was once a captive, iK.-inJ in the thraldom of an infernal Iridic. I was reared by iny mother in a religious home ; I was led to believe that I had aa interest in thoae things ; I went to coih-ge; graduated with some distinc tion, read law, and was admitted to the pract ice of my chosen profession. I had ahondant mear.a, as well prepare.! for the profe.ion, but by and by I saw that tr.en who were looked upon as leaders, were in the habit of indulging in thofe thing's that I had been taught to think were all wrong. I followed their exam ple ; I had warning? that I ought to have heeded ; I saw men totter to their fall ; I faw youths pucb as I was dropped into the grave, and I saw their comrades pass by their new-made grave, and none ever top to plant an immorteile totheirmeni ory. I thought these were the mere ac cidents of fortune, and I kept on. After seventeen years of most desperate evil, I was at length turned awaj from that curse. I want to eay that no man can run a course of vice wich as I did, can saturate every corpuscle of his ay-stem with the hellish poison, and abandon the ! habit by the mere strength of his own naked ill. I m.imed a noble wife and a hen fche remons; rated with me, I said, " You don't understand these things ; mhen we have laid cp a competence, then we will discuss these 'moral ques tions, and settle on some line of conduct for the future. Cut 1 found long after, that lucU-ad of reassuring her, I only drove her to brood in solitude over her trouble. Children came to me ; I often looked at them, but never thought that my ioes would overshadow their entire young live. I at length reached a point at hich I discovered that.I was no long er master of rayseif. I tried physicians but, though I took their medicines faithfully, I derived no benefit from lheni; next I tried antidotes, with the same reso'.t. I procured an appointment from President Hay?, to Paris ; there I fell into deeper debauchery ; I grew ill ; I railed in the bet medical talent in France to attend on me. I got well, but uiy horrid appetite still existed. I rt turned to the United State; I j went deejier and deeper ; my habits j grew worse and worse. One night my ! wife sent to Ju Ige Hammond and asked him to write out a n.Hice to the bar i keepers of Atlanta, forbidding them to sell me li.juor. lie did so ; the not ires i were served ; did they heed theui ? No ! I They took them an.t stuck them np in every bar room in the city, and made them the jf-st of every drunken loafer in the city, and then sold me just much liquor as they had done before. Why di in"t the law stop them?- Be cause the law is not estoppel. The Li. ; nor dealers association, of Kan sas City, Mo., presented their petition to Judj;e Field, a personal friend of mine he ref.ined it as treasonable to the State, and contrary to good moral and reli gion. The same occurred at Columbus, Ohio, w hen the Liquor dealers of Cincinnati, desired incorporation. If the horsethieves of the country were to demand incorporation, they would ie run out of the country with g:-.t'.ing gucs. If the thieves and burglars of this cjunlry were to demand incorporation, the people would rise in their might ind drum them into the sea. We don't want any more law in this country of the kind we Lave. Ciive tne a just Judge, honett Sherifis, honest Prosecuting Attorneys, and have all honest Jurors in Pennsylvania and I can take the present law of Pennsylvania and can run every liquor dealer out of Pencsylvania,in six months and he won't ouie back until the world burns down. Then they say; What do you want with law? I want law to make honest Judges, and other public officers by. We bear in some places Prohibition, won't prohibit don't 6uppoee you have heard it here trot everywhere you hear that. same old red-nosed, flannel month tang saying Prohibition won't prohitit, "I ask bira, where dont it prohibit?' "I'on't prohibit in Maine." "When were yon in Maine?" "Never was in Maine." "How do yoa know it don't prohibit T" Well I heard so. I say, who did you vote for for President 5 years ago ?" "Why I voted for James G. Blaine." "I say do ycu know James G. Blaine is a common liar?" "Why"; he asks; "Because James G. Blaine says it does prohibit in Maine." Coming out fro n Chicago in the train w ith Sam Jones, several gentlemen were talking of Prohibition, a big, bay wind owed fellow got on and talking of Prohi bition said he was going down to Illinois to go into business again. "What bosi res were yon in in Iowa." 0 bell, I ket a saloon." The other side of the picture An old man removing his fataily from Brunswick, Moto Iowa to try to raise ti-' remaininachildren free from thecurse tif rum. Prohibition does prohibit every where that the officers are cot pusiilani- j mous knaves, or perjured scoandreup 1 SO ESTABLISHED 1827. ; In Atlanta, Georgia, a city of 80,010 pop ulation yon can't get liqaor on Sunday for love or money. In a sober, lucid in terval on a Sabbath day, I was led in the pleasure of God to attend a meeting at which the Lev. Sam Jones was to speak, about fifty miles away : I had a great reverence for religion ; and I did'nt like the idea of his talking slang. I took my children to bear him after weeks of neg lect on my part. I beard him in that wondrous sermon of his ; scores and hun dreds went to the altar, with stream ing eyes and began a new liie ; I was aa deeply a convicted man as any in thai audience, but I made so sign. For forty eight hours I sought in drunkenness and debauchery to stiiie my, convictions, but at length I went on mr knees, and I wrestled with my God until I was brought from the horrible pit and the miry clay. My awful appetite was taken away and I have rever experienced the least re tarn of it and for four years I have preached in the pulpits of the country. Some persons say ; "But, Mr. Small, you needn't use such forcible expressions and such lurid rhetoric I'm just aa good a temperance man as you are." I say ; 1 m not a temperance man. I'd as soon be th Jud s Iscaru t in hell as a temperance man. J-.very orewers convention nas passed temperance resolutions. I'm not a temperance man. I don't want to be called a temperance man. I'm a prohi bitionist, from the top of the tallest hair on my head, to th heads of the nails of my boots. The Chinese who refuse to take money for opium would pay a handsome admission to see a Christ ian church that'ym could split by preaching: on temperance. The people of Madagascar whose queen refuses to sell the right of traffic in liquor, would do likewise. I'd like to see one of those churches split ; I'd like to see what's in it. Why the devil can come into such a church and gallop np to the chancel, and take his perch on the chancel rail and have a regular fourth of July, right there in front ot the preacher and the whole congregation. Thank God the preachers are getting right on this thing. Alexander H. Stevens, the Vice Presi dent of the so-called Southern confedera cy said to me ence, "Small, so long as the discussion of the slave question was con fined to the hustings or to the State capi tol, we paid no attention to it. But when we found that evey preacher in the North was preaching and praying on the subject, we knew that slavery was dead; or soon would be." Then they say, "O, Small, you musn't bring politics into the po! pit. I don't believe in it" Well, I say, neither do I. But there's no poli tics in liquor. Its about as non-partisan athingasl ever got my eyes on. It'll make a iVmo crat drank jast as quick as it will a Re publican. In the church they say its a political question, but in politics they say its a great moral question. O bat you say I will regnlate it. But where hare you regulated it. Why Judg White refused issuing license in Pitts burg, to ai! applicants but 93, and the papers show that there was over .sX) plaecs where liquor is sold illegally. This is a record of business that can't be parallelled anywhere. lli.;h license is nothing but a minting machine, patented by the devil, run by politicians, to grind out old bii7.7.srd dol lars to lay on the eyesof dead consciences to make the corpses look respectable. The peroration of the speaker was a beautifully spoken piece of word paint ing, occupying about ten minutes in iU delivery, and as the reporter was unable to get it in full, none of it is given. The lecture was one of the longest that have ever been delivered in Somerset, occu pying two and a quarter hours in its de livery, and yet no one sermed tired. TFESDAT jiobxisq sesios. Institute called to order at 8.30, a. tn., with IL IL Sanner in the chair, who rec om iien led the careful use of ail the time to be devoted to the dismissions. What should teachers read ? Referred to C. F. Livengood ; not being present, M. L. Snyder called, who said : When we look over the field we are appalled by its breadth. We cannot read all and we should make a careful selection. There are works which when we hare not read we seen) to feel an aching void. There are works we would read such as Robison Crusoe, Vicar of Wakefield, David CopperSeld, an I some others might be named as novels that every one should read. C. F. Livengood said : What teachers should read is self-evident. They should read boiled down literature, such as you can get the most thought from in the least space and time. An hour every day should be spent in reading current literature, novels, standard works, hu morous works. Ival humorous works to break np the monotony, and let the rest of your reading be according to your taste. A. O. McKinley said : The great point is, bow shall we create an incentive to read? I have made my pupils promise that daring vacation they would read at least one good book. A good instructive novel is a very good thing to put into Ihe hands of a boy. Each teacher should have several good books on mental sci ence and theory of teaching. It is not always that one can read with interett what another can read with interest. J. W. Bell said : There is a time for everything. There ia also, then, a time to read. I never had time to read nov els, because there is too much other mat ter to read. In teaching a branch the various authors on the subject should be studied. Read the newspapers, becatse tbey tell you what is going on in the world. If yon read novels, be very care ful in their selection. I Lave never bad time to read any nonsense. Music, conducted by the Musical Di rector. Question opened for general discussion : Miss Cora Knepper : How would you teach literature without reading novels? Mr. Keim : Teachers need careful in struction in what to read. Very few have mentioned the Bible. Our grandmoth ers had nothing ebel There is where they got their strong characters. It con tains views as broadening as those of Cbartea Pickens. There one finds the most sterling rules of politeness. Many books are read because others read them. Queries called for; manager said be. haI none. J. W. Bell said : Read novels, if you have time. I have a boy in my school who reads nothing bat novels, and bis ID JANUARY 8, 1890 mind shows the character of his reading. He has not the sound judgment of those who read solid works. Music a Language Culture C. L. Sjylor: The word of ambition at the presen day, is culture. The busia of education, is lan guage culture. No tuatter what business you follow, lanaae will lie your great need. The subject may be divided into primary, language lessons, and advanc ed lessons in English. The child gets his first learning at borne, at his mothers knee. The same method should be ued in the schoolroom. Have children com mit recitations good recitations. The first two years of language teaching should be wholly incidental. Have pu pils write descriptions on the board. Thus you lay a good foundation for composi tion. Read poems to thetn, and have them read. A child should not leave school unless he can write a good letter, a note, and its answer, receipts, and all the business papers of life. Composition in the higher classes should be tborotgh ly taught. Not teaching them to write what tbey don't know, but what they d. know. Have theta read gyod literature. The characters of Charles l'i. keus give children idea that thy can nowhere else obtain : ue correct forms of speech. Children learn by imitttion ; let them learn correct foran ; the importance of language lessons cannot lie overestima ted. Lmguag? is not given to us as a whole, but is a development.

Prof. Frye, on Geography : The earth is made up of slopes ; every part of the earth hai its elope. No pirt of the earth is perfectly fiat. We cannot study any one part of Ihe earth by itself. II we at tempt to study Europe alone, we are oon confronted by the Gu!f Stream as a cli matic influence, and so on with other di visions. The problem is the influence of the slopes upon life. Tost the mountains are the great rain condensers, is only part true. Other influences are felt. We want to discover whether the great sloj.es of the cont-nenla are open to receive the moist open winds. In South Auierk-a there is so vast an open space to the winds of ocean ; hence the rainy regions and forests of the Amazon. The rainy regions of the zone of ca!.ns are due to atmospheric influences. The winds do not depend on structnre. Suppose the Andes were in the East of South Ameri ca, the water would be taken oat of the clouds in passingoverthe nioun'ains, and we wonld have another Sahara iesert in South America. Take North Aroeric. First was formed the Laurentide Minn tains, the oldest land on the Continent; then the Apalachian system ; lastly, the mountains of the Pacific Slope. (The speaker illustrated his. remarks by maps and blackboard drawings, and most of his talk on the subject was so il lustrated, and would be uninteresting un less accompanied by the drawings.) A general law is the wind's sweep to w.rds the sun ; that is, to the qnarter of space from which the sun is ehinins. I have made no reference lo secondary highlands ; only to primary highlands, which the children can readily under stand. The secondary highlands cut the surface of the earth into rain basins. The continents differ in the placing of the secondary highlands. The greatest use of the study of secondary highlands is to show how they cut the surface of the earth into rain basins. The height of land, only 8 fet high, docs more to determine the course of the rams of Eu rope than all the other heights of the continent. Sink that height of land and yon change the geographical fa-e of Eu rope. If we take a stream (lowing into a mud puddle and examine it, we shall find it a type of the drainage of the earth. Asa result of solar heating, the tendency is to give us belts of tempera ture, and belts of vegetation. Oar text books do not group animal life according to nature. There is more di;i"ren'e be tween the animals of Northern Asia and Southern Asia, than there is between the animals or Asia and North America. Animals are distributed f cc-ording to nat ural regions. Music, by the Institute. Prof. Conghlin: " II w to March On, in the Practice of Teaching." Teachers should be employed on a kind of sliding sraie. If a stranger comes into the com munity and does good work, allow his wages to be raisl during the term. For instance, a lady comes in and agrees to teach for $ vi ; if she do good work, let the salary be raised to say $ 10, Ac. Yon have a right to ask hew the judg ment of the examiner is firmed, and you have a right to be answered. It is posi- ble for a person to make a judgment in a single hour. He can make some judg- f mentsin less time. For instance, clean j writing I always secar- a sp?cimen of and well ventilated rooms. How long the penmanship of each one at tiie bj do you suppose it would take an exam- ( ginning of the term, and they would not iner to discover theso ticts? If there are recognize their ow n wort in a few no means of ventilation the program months. Cl.il dren should be taught to should show a time for changing the air of the room. Every schoolroom should have its janitor. Good order doesn't necessarily imply a qniet school. Directors look usually at quiet ; teachers at your knowledge, but County Superintendents will try to look along the whole line. It's impossible to place things in a position that is not cus tomary. Lecture by Dr. Edwarl Brooks. He said : One of the most distinguished teachers of the present century. Sir Wm. Hamil ton, used to write on his blackboard, On earth Inert 'a nothing prat but man : ' In man there's nothing great but mind M We are to deal with mind ; to cultivate it a"d instruct it. All the great improve ments and advancements have been the result of study of mind. Socrates, Fesla loxi, Herbert Spencer, Bain, aad all oth ers have devoted their attention to the stody of mind. Thoogh we don't know 1 what mind is. we know that it can do three things: It can think and know ; feel and wiH ; indicated by intellect, sensibility, and wiiL So men form a definition of mind, and many say, '"Mind is that w hich thinks, and feels, and wills." He If we knew wbit particular faculty ae- quires grammar, or arithmetic, or any other bran.-h, wa could teach th-e branches more ttTectuall. But we must not make the mistake of teaching lhee braoche merely through the memory. The decimal basis of notetion is not th best Eight wonld be better ; twelve ww-i'd hi better. I'm not si. re but Ed rather have cultured sensibilities than a cultured intellect. How ! you govern your scholars? Yon govern them through the sensibilities. Love is the secret of in liuence.

When we study a school district and go from it to thegiobe, that is method ; when I place clay in a child's hand htid say. model the school dU'rii'., that is a device. The imagination canuot perceive a new for n, we can only repeat f run that we hiv? seen or heard of, but we cannct ever imagine a new form. If I wished to bring t. your mind the Sahara desert I would have to carry you from soir.ethirg you bad known to the connected whole we call Sahara. The child ds n-.it go from the known to ti... unknown, but from the known to the related unknown. The boy who h-is e-en siopr?. however small, can go on until hi imagines; a continent, goin g from the known to the related unknow n. So, the boy may know of brooks; he can goon until he has imagined an entire c jnt'.r.riUl water system. Much of the primary teaching of the texts loks violates this principle of going from the kno'vtI to tiie related unknown. A child cannot rea l a map. ' jje c-4nnot set- the cofctineut o:i the map until he Las b"en taught to do to. If I were to say, " As I came from the hotel I saw a dodo sitting on a piece cf calci um," you would have no con.'pption of my meaning. In drawing we look at the ontline, in modelling, at solid forms. I wonld never give a child a definition of a natural form. I would say : Yonder U a hi!' dewcribo it to :ne. Every defi iiitioa fci:i,r!.t to primary pup'.s is but a stroke drawn ia front of the child shut ting him out from nature. I 1-elieve in sand modeling, but I do not fcelirve in letting the sand come K-tueen the child and nature. If the hild is lo study brooks, or hi'I.s or mountains he imt tro out and see them. We often hnag'nc we are tench in j tho chili, but if we kep then away from nature we sre teaching them in spite of o;irsilve. When we teach children definition in ;i-grphv they learn geography ia spite of the definitions. When you are out beside r.a'r.re. ask questions thai ae simple; don't a-k u question for the sak"! of th? question. Don't ask a child to draw for the sake of taedrawing.

By and by th; litt'e forms perceived now must become the tyj.es of continents, of mountain systems, of river basins. But maybe we tind a child who doesn't have the pow er to see the continent by and by. What is wrong? We hive fiiied to teach him to form the conception from nature, while he in out with natu-e.
