Mr. Frar.k fiaul, if Meyersd.l-, had his patent American Ba!'-H B-x"or exhibi tion at the Soroeraet Hoif. several days last week. The tox i very simple in every particular, and should it be adopted by any of tte State, or be tl gteneral govammei.t. the cry for ballot reform would be met. Mr. l.aul patent requin every elector to make np his badot and enclose it in a small tin tube, furnished ty the election oiiinerw. The ju.lpe of election, it! tbe presence of tbe voter, deposit the tube ia a slot ia the top of the box only large enough to admit a single tut at a lime, when by tuniir-g a small Wer. tbe ballot is deposited within the g!as Uix in view of the eijr and the num ber of the ballot is registered by an aoto-n-.atic device in large tigunes. There is no poib;iitj of fraud being perpetrated with thi bix, asewry ballot is in a tube by itself. Mf . tiaul has had hi patent on exhibition in several of the eastern citie. and last winter had it in Washington, where it was insfect ed and e!l. cited favorable comment from a larw nnui'ier of Senators and Eeprewla ttvea. In evetit of a National Flection law lviu paseed by the present congee. Mr. Caul hopt to have Lis patent adopted- fads, witicisms and local Iterative of swallowing a camel and strainina; at a gnat. It is well kiM-wn that we have here in Somerset a so-called reii jiouseletnenl that ia deal set against ail theatrical performances, hi fact against any and all kinds of amuse ments, however innocent. Congregations, in Sii name of morality and religion, are warn ed against them, and .Demher of enurcbes threatened with tbe ecclesiastical rl tcrrnt fjn in the event of patronizing them. Tbe silliness and light character of Ote amuse ments are beid up as spectres to iis-'iniilatt tbe stifrstitions, and the admison fee of twen tv five cents is nondemned as a sinful waste of money, and tlie time drvtted to the hour as at inexcuoabie wate of so many minute. A firtit-cla.ni roioatrei show is an aggregation of monstrosities, in the eyes of this class of persons, of such a hideous mien, to le hated is only to be seen. The piint I want to make is this, that no class represented at the Opera House per formances during tbe last week clapped louder, laugiied more lies rtily. gave greater evidence of wliole-souh-l erjoymer.t over some of tbe anecdotes and witicisms that did n.t meexure ap io dooency and dignity to tbe lowest grade heard at a flnst-claas minstrel show.

Henrr lionck, who has ao ably filled the olH of Ueputy Super intendent for inaoy years. County SaperiaU-ndetit Cotigblin Language stu dy: Tbe refonnt that corn acToswi the tiorison, of professional work, always do aome rood. Lanjraage aa we stojy it, at the beginning deals with the symboU of thought, after time it be comes incidental. Language will not ever be taught by teaching at one time, and in one branch, and then neg lecting it in all other branches. It must be tnht incidental! The first language lease nt that were published were merely easy methods of learning grammar. Language lessons should lead to composition and not to technical grammar. What we need i an elementary rhetoric rather than an el ementary grammar. Composition ahould be oral and written ; oral being of pri mary importance and having the prefer ence. Lead tbe cuiiaren as soon as pos sible to tell you their own stories, that nobody else know and yrfa don't know. Don't criticise the ichildren too closely at first My idea of go! teaching is where the child is at absolate freedom of thonght and expression and yet never oversteps the bounds of propriety. Lead the children to accuracy of expression. The highest power of expression is lan if'aage, and it is your business to see that the child gets at the correct form at the troth. A child cannot tell what he does not understand, a man can't either. It is a very important thin; to know a thing, and it is, perhaps, still more im portant to know when you don't know hing. E luitation is finding the truth and giving it expression. A correct sen tence doesn't always prove the correct ae oflangnRge. Children will use correctly word they don't know the meaning of in sentence. Pr. Brooks continued his lecture on the ue of perception. Th3 firs: faculty of the intellect U called perception. The avenues of the mind are the five senses. They have been called the gateways of the soul. Perception gives us the lowest kind of knowledge, but w ithout percep tion there could be no knowledge. If all the five senses, the gateways of the soul, could be closed, whatever tiie Great Father may have in store for such an imprisoned soul, I can see no means of ievelopmenL In our teaching we have too much neglected the perceptive pow ers. e nave not cultivate! toe percep tive powers. When the child starts to school the teacher closes the book of nature and starts him on an entirely new lice. The first class should be Geometry. The children of five years of ags should be purpling the study of Geometry. In the liest schools this is being done. The second class should be the Doing class.' Get a table and put the children at it with geometric forms, paper and pencil. and let them draw these forms ; let them geooietry. Tlie third class may be the "Talking class7 for the study of language. Professor Frve continued his Instruc- titis in Geography. At the request of the Institute, Professor Frye gave a syn opsis of the revolution in Brazil. Tbe second step in teaching ieography is to develop the powerof the child to perceive, to imagine the forms of natural , o 'jects. When you study the brook, the mountain, etc., take the moat beautiful gems of poetry and prose bearing on the subject and store them away. Adjourned to 1:1)0 p. m. wctisrspAT ArriK5oox session. Institute was called to order at I.X. Music by tbe Institute, conducted by tbe Musical Director. A talk by S. D. Erick. of Berlin. He said : A profession is tbat which one profess es ; one that he claims to understand. We, ic? teachers, are engaged in the profession of teaching. II ow shall we retain otir pi aces in the profession ? Think of the nnmber of per sons who are fitting themselves for some provision. Is there not. then, some danger in store for us older teachers ? May not the future bring forth a uirior set of teacher ? Y'ounger men, who will be onr superior in every respect ? Schools are r ot made for teachers.

Music, by Miss Fee, of ConneJlsviile. Dr. Brooks continwd bis instruction : In teaching the elements of fractions, have tlie pupil use the percept'1' powers. Tbe con ception of a fraction is a very complex con cejit ; Erst we want the conception of the unit, then of the fractiion. Indian boys and girls, who thoroughly understand tbe funda mental rules, as weii as white boys and girls fail n hen tbey come to fractions. Tlie same is t roe of tbe colored boys and girls in the South. Never forbid a thing before tbe thing is done. Teach the abstract by means of the concrete. Measure the actual units of denom inate numbers. We learn rather by the eye than by the ear. Never call attention to the misspelling o.' a written word ; simply erase the word and write it in correctly. Percep tive power may be cultivated in the writing of cottipoaitiotis. lKn"t try to tell what yoa don't know ; let the child look at something, get an idea of it, and then tell what it knows. Tbe greatest writers have written from what they saw. Homer, and Milton, and Shakes peare, and Byron, and Wadsworth, and Burns, and many others, have filled their writings with w bat tbey saw.

Will Caileton. iu his poera lecture, "The Srleoce of Home." This lecture ia ra Jstly in rhyme, and the reporter can only catcb a striking tbouirht bere and there, and turn the rhyme of the poet"' into prose. The truth is, men are prone to n science in things with which she has nothing to do. Men spend time looking at the children (moons) of Mars millions of mi'fcs away, who know nothing at all of their own child ren. The science of home is the chiefest of all. Tbe man wbo wrote ' There's no place like home" never bad a horn? of his own. The Almighty intended the world to be crowded with homes, ' rich, radiant, and rare." The science of home is no theme of an hour, but one to be studied during life here below aud until we reach the horns above. Tbe fi jwers of true love never grow frjro the soil of a faithless heart. Heaven and earth aren't so far apart as some folks try to make out To keep bays at home keep yonr house nice and dark and quiet, and your boys will stay there if they are blind. Keep your house good and cold, too; let no heart thrills of love ever warm it and you will keep yoa boys at h ros wben you've cut oT their feet, trim and neat and refuse them all access to crutches. How shall we feed and clothe the poor creatures that haven't any home? When we are dis posed to shove some one aside on account of roughness or unpleasant ways, remember that sq nes.ro. ishness IS sham. Iu the line of love and loving, what is to be is apt to be. Thoughts unexpressed may fail back dead ; but God himself can't kill them once they're said. However may prosper our toil, our amusements should strengthen us. Adjourned to 9:3h a. m.

An Empire has fallen, a Be pub lic has sprung np in a day a nation has been bom. and people did not go to war about it New things are coming into light. Education is makiug progress. Sixteen or eighteen years ago it was customary to pass resolutions complimenting each other on our success. At tbe institute years ago, the first one I ever attemled, we bad two lectur ers, neither of whom has ever been bean! of since. They were not very prominent. Tbe Institutes have improved. I have seen a your.g man resign bis position in disgust, and I have seen a young lady succeed. In Quiney, Mai, a number of years aga, the schools were about on a par with titose of the cities. But on examination it was found the pupil eight years in the schools were grossly incompetent in tbeir studies. They concluded to employ a man to remodel them. They employed Col. Parker, and after five years tbe yuincr schools attracted the atten tion of the world. Col. Parker introduced no new principles. He merely put in prac tice principles taught by FroebeJ, Spencer and others. Fifty per cent of all tbe pupils in the public schools are not over fourteen years of age. Vt'e do five times as much work" in the Institute in a day now as we did years ago. The same ought to.be and will be the case iu the schools. Professor Conghlin : Mistake in Teach ing. An important theme for an education al talk is: Facts that are settled in educa tional minds. The first mistake in teaching is the con founding of means and ends in education. Recitation is a means, but the end ia that which has touched tbe lifV of tbe child. Will the little girl wbo has carefully written a copy book do untidy work in her own home? Certainly not Will the boy wbo Don't reprove a trifling ofiVnae with too much force. Pju't try to startle your school into quiet you ran t do it. Speaking in too high a key is another gieat mistake. Culti vate the pewer if not expressing your feel ing in your face. It Is a mistake to think that everything presented from this platform can be taken and applied io your own schools. You can't spply general principles to par ticular cases, Tbe Professor thanked the Institute for the welcome accorded him, and bade them farewell. Music conducted by the Musical Director.

Cram sr Suhj-s-t, " The School Board " : Paring my experience as a primary teacher, tbe visit of the ditectors consisted of going toronjli the school exam ining copy books. The dim-tors looked through these copybjoks and went away, well p!e.ed with the teacher and school. The public school system has been entirely revolutionized. The world moves, and we must move with it. The progress of the age will not obey a halt If directors visited tbe schools once a year, it was deemed suf ficient ; more ts demand?! of them bow by the progress of the times. They should con sider that tlie laborer is worthy ol his hire, and should pay such salaries as will keep ttfi j'ent teachers iu the profsjsioo.

Address, by Dr. Brooks : I do not feel a familiarity witb the directorship of tbe schools. We have a system of schools or ganized and controlled by the people. We do not have a State system, that is, a system controlled by the State. Yon occupy the corner-stone of the oairam school system. Y'ou select the ground, er.i the buildings, and you are responsible for it Y'ou select tbe bwks; the law a'dowi you this ; you possess more jower than all other scbooi of ficers combined.

I believe that the time is coming when we will have ideal schools ond school building. I have a very high appreciation of the work you are doing.

Hecke! : Teaching little folks is the first ; interest carried home, is the second evidence ; good work done, is the third : neatness of work, and order in the doing of work, is the fourth ; respect shown is tbe fifth. Should teachers have a special course iu reading? H. H. Keim: Yes: my eiri ence teaches me that tbe more I hsve to do the more I can do. rrof. J. P. Meese agrees with Keim ; says too, that teachers do little reading ; there is no better measure of a teacher's success than tbe amount of reading he does, and the number ot books he possesses. What bocks would you recommend for a teacher's reading ? Prof. Charles Savior : Wtckersham's w:ks on teaching; Brooks' works on the same ; these an d standard lit erature ; standard novels, .tc Give yojur best method of teaching history Prof. Meese : To do so would lake loo fong : I am not averse to memorizing a good deal of history ; memory was given to man to be used, and the main, leading facts, should inemorix -d. Should a teacher be paid acccrding to his work ? Prof. Meese. Music by the Institute, conducted by the Musical Director. Topical Talk, - What shall we teach rR.

It is a curious fact says the jlnlinil JItut i, that the lr.tluenza prevailed in America one hundred years ago, and Pr. John Warren, in a letter to Pr. Let tsnm. 'says that '"our be loved President Washington is but now re covering from a severe and dangerous at tack of it." In 1 1 an epidemic sLa-ted in China, it reached Russia ia' January. ?.;t, and by May it had spread to western Europe; but it only reached this country in Jsnuary. ls-'Ji and then prevailed but slightly. Another and more severe epidemic started in Russia in Peceniber, IKK; within a month it appeared in London, and rapidly spread over Europe. This time, again, Ameriia was not affected. An epidemic of consider able eiteut prevailed in the United States, about ten years ago, and there have he a various mild manifestations of the disease. On the whole, however. North Amerka d s not seem to be very favorable to the dive! opment of epidemic in":ienia in its wor-t forms, and it is unlikely that we shall have a severe visitation. The disea-e is mat dan gerous, except sometimes to children or the aged, while the former often show a decided exemption. Tbe disease is undoubtedly die to some micro-organism which ffoa's in the air, and which infects the human system il is generally killed in so doing. For in fluenza is but slightly if at ail contagious. We observe that some feeling .of alarm pre vails lest this epidemic be a precursor to cholera as was tbe casein 1SU and ImT. There have been, however, plenty of cholera epidemics without a preceding influenza, and a great man influenza epidemics with out any associate cholera. The niic-o or,-an-isnis of tlie two diseases are as essentially different as are the diseases themselves. The cholera germ lives in water and toil, the in fluenza germ in the air.
