END OF INSTITUTE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER HELD HERE A Full Sfiime of the Lectures and Addresses G;ven and Resolu tion Adopted Superintend ent Westbrook is Highly Complimented. Wednesday morning the devotional exorcises were conducted by Rev. rcrot. Tlie opening song was America. Professor Fox occupied the first period of the morning and continued his talk on history. He said in part children speak from a knowledge they already have. This knowledge they pick here and there in fragments. Then the duty of the teacher is to systematize this knowl edge or to help the child to discover itself. Show the pupils why the progress of the human race has always been toward the Belting sun. To do tills a teacher must know more than simple United States History. Then the reason for the different degrees of activity in the different zones enters also into history. Back of the simple statement of the settle ment of the different colonies stands the reason for such founding. How the early training of these different colonists influenced the laws and industrial development. Children should be made to understand the immense sacrifice made by the colonists who sought political and religious freedom in America. Give reason for the establishment of the Mason and Dixon's Line. The professor showed how the doctrine of State Rights sprang into existence and how the breach between the north and the south. He main tains that many do not prepare for an emergency, and declared that Eng land, once the great power, is slowly declining, and that Russia and the United States are destined to become the world powers. Following a short recess and the singing ot several selections, Prof. Koehler gave a very interesting lecture on Imagination. The product of a perception is a percept, of memory a jiercept, of imagination an image, percept or concept. A percept is conducive to memory and also to Imagination. Following imagination, and next In order, stands reason. The speaker clinched his arguments by various illustrations. The person who creates must think deeper than the man who constructs. For younger pupils we should teach more by pictures. At the close of Professor Koehlir'a talk another short recess Was taken and after several selections of music by the whole institute Professor Itiblo occupied the remainder of the fore noon. Prof. Bible chose no particular subject but spoke chiefly on literature and primary language. English literature did not spring up like a flower but was a slow growth. He then Illustrated upon the board the interchangeable uses of Anglo-Saxon and Norman-French words and how their uses change with time. In the teaching of primary language I think we have swung to other extremes. Some language books begin with sentences which are too hard lor the children. Teachers should teach the usi-s of "is" and "are" by simple conversational lessons. Have children write sen tences and language by use of real objects. The next method by means of pictures. By information lessons, by teachers telling story or reading, or through any other source. An other nieiliod I y paraphrasing; some slmple, btory. By writing simple le!t Adjournment until p. m.

Ills subject wns Fads and Fanei"s In F.dii'-ntion. When we devoted most of our time to spelling we had Itctlor spellers then than now. Then we threw out of our school the spelling book and taught spelling in connection with reio.ing. The snuie we did with mental arithmetic. Then we heard of various different fads and methods then of the New Kdtiention. Then we had child study mid the new psychology. Then the kindergarten You can study psychology from the chilli. With all our advancement we ought to have better pupils than 2r years ago. Pupils Imitate teacher. Io not sidetrack in your teaching. Do not talk too much in the school room. Class criticism by pupils should be indulged in w ith caution. Observe your own voice in school room, it Is a great factor in the government of the pupils. Do not quarrel with your pupils it is a disturbing factor. Parents often make a mistake In quarreling with children. Professor closed bv thank ing teachers for their kindness. Talk on history continued by Prof. Fox. Do not take the pupils over history as rapidly as I have taken you over this subject. It was not slaver j that caused Civil War. It was a number of questions. The attempt to form a national government occa sioned two parties one in favor of state rights, the other in favor of a strong central government. The result was a compromise and our present constitution. Following the administration of Monroe the storm, which led to the Civil War, began to gather. In teaching history maps should be used. The climax of civilization came with the battle of Gettysburg. This battle was the result of an attempt on the part of the south to gain recognition from Great Britain. Tills was thwarted by Russia which has always been friendly to the United States. As a result of this friendship on the part of Russia the United States purchased Alaska as a slight recompense to Rusela for keeping her warships on thY Atlantic seaboard during the critical period proceeding the battle of Gettysburg. The evening lecture was delivered by Prof. Frank Koehler. Piano Solo Miss Myrtle Ryder. Prof. Frank Koehler, principal of the Polyteenic Institute, Gilberts, Pa., was the speaker, who used as his subject, Heroes andy Heroism. The speaker gave an epitome of the life of Pericles and his decision to follow in the footsteps of duty. The hero in early times was bred upon the battle field. The modern hero is he w ho saves lives. Vnother class of heroes are those who have lifted mankind from sin and degradation to the highest pinnacle of freedom. Exercises closed with a piano solo by Miss Myrtle Ryder. Thursday Running the devotional exercises conducted by Prof. Fox. Opening hymn, Coronation. The professor in a few words pointed out the duty of the teacher in seeing that the day is begun In the proper manner. Following the opening exercises, Prof? Fox continued bis talk on history. His discourse had led up to the battle of Gettysburg. The speaker detailed and explained, how It hap pened that the battle took place where it did. Neither Mead nor Bee had piiiiiucd lu huve I he Tiiil here. ieo's troops were divided and he saw that unless his troops were concen trated they would be caught, each alone, and defeat and capture would result to his army. It was not until the night of the second day that nil the Union tioops reached Gettysburg. The morning of the third day was the supreme moment. The Confede rates saw this, because of certain events that had happened during the proceeding day. Notably among thc.-s was the pos-cvioii oi Utile I'-'inl Top, vt.ich was pr.ici.-a!!y the k.y to the battlefield.

No intima tion of illness had been received and, in fact, he was in the enjoy ment of his nsual health np to the time whon the last summons sud denly came, Saturday afternoon, October thirty-first. He was a son of Samuel H. and Luoinc'a (Rogers) Rowland and was born at what is now called Rowlands January 18, 1837. His parents came from Saratoga county, New York, and located at that place a few years previously. His father engaged extensively in lumbering and after finishing his studios at Fort Edward Institute, Washington oounty, New York, and teaching some time, 'Laf ayette assisted his father in the oon- duct of his affairs until about 1870 when ho began business for himsolf . He was elected county treasurer in 1873, representative ia the legis lature in 1888 and reelected in 1890 and in 189 4, was eleoted state sena tor for this district, serving one term. In all these responsible posi tions he sorvod his constituents with dilltgence and was faithful and conscientious in the discharge of all life's duties. He became a member of Milford Lodge, No. 344 F. & A. M., in 1870 and was one of it3 most esteemed members, July 1, 1869, he married Arabella, a daughter of the late Ephriam Klmbol of Klinhlos, who with "one son, Otis F., a civil engineer of Scranton, Pa., and one daughter, Uolon B., at home, survive him. The funeral occurred Monday and Interment ia the comotery at Ki ru bles, Pa. There is no doubt what will happen if Tammany wins. There ought to be enough decent people in New Y'ork to lay out the tiger. It cannot be said that the Hon. Mark Hanna of Ohio has not fully and pointedly warned one Tom John son as to what would happen to him election day. - The Chicago A Alton has advanced the wages of all its trainmen twelve per cent. Evidently the railroads can see prosperity ahead even it others can't. The house servant question is not confined to the east. A Denver woman, according to the Kansas City Star, advertises that her husband has left her taking their two children and the hired girl. District Attorney Folk has an nounced his candidacy for Governor. He has been brought into great prominence by bis prosecution of the St. Bonis boodlers. The politicians of the democratic party in Missouri have had no liking for this class of boodle prosecution, and if ihcy yield to Mr. Folk's nomination it will be with extreme reluctance?

Visitors to the White House are at present received a little later than usual, as the president devotes as muoh time as possible each morning to the work on his annual message to congress, which he dictates to Secretary Loeb, who is one of the most competent stenographers in the oouutry. List year the chief topio in the president's message was the public regulation of corporations but the laws enacted by congress on this subject are regarded as satis factory, and the trusts ore now left to the Department of Justioe and to the D apartment of Commerce and Labor. There is not the slightest ohance of any material trust legisla tion at the next regular session. The president will refrain also from any suggestion which would lead to the consideration of the tariff. The re construction of the financial system will be discussed to some extent, bnt the president agrees with the party leaders that there is little need at this time for remedial legislation. The main topics in the message will be the isthmian canal, the needs of Alaska, conditions in the Philip pines, the upbuilding of the navy, irrigation, land laws and the In dians. Reference will be made also to the postal frauds aud the punish mont of the offenders. Members of Congress and the general pnblio ex- peot from the president and the state department news of the nego tiations and the present prospects of canal legislation, and the message will doubtless oontain a full discus sion of the subjeot. Governor Taft and the war department have sup plied the president with a mass of ficta from whloh he can describe the needs of the Philippine Islands and suggest legislation of different kinds, President Roosevelt believes that Alaoka has a great future and his disoussion of the conditions in the territory will be made easier by the facts which have been furnished by the Sub-Committee of the senate which visited the territory this summer. Considerable legislation for Alaska is part of the republican plan for the winter, and the presi dent's suggestions will be especially important. The improvement of the navy ia a popular theme with the president and he will make a plea for ample funds for gun pract ice and allowances for prizes to en courage readiuess for an emergency. Ha will warn against any halt in making the navy a large aud power ful arm. With reference to the postal frauds the president hopes to show that the matter has been so thoroughly handlod by the govern ment, tlint congress will not need to make an investigation of its own. He will make publio everything in the clearest and most comprehen sive manner, so that the investiga tion may be regarded aa completed.

In December the national republi can executive committee will meet here to consider the time and place for the next national convention. For some time it has been rumored In republican circles that owing to his ill health Senator Hanna's place as chairman of the committee would be vacant and there has boen much speculation as to his successor. Former governor Crane has been moutioned as the most like candidate although Senator Lodge has also been named. However, Senator Banna's health has now grnatly im proved and it is more than possible Prosidont Roosevelt will try to In duce him to retain his position so that the republicans can have the benefit of his experiouoe and judg ment. The disturbed condition of business affairs in some place makes It possible that the campaign may be franght with difficulties, aud with Biich a loader as Oorman at work it will be necessary to keep a sharp lookout, as he will not fight on serious national issues, but seems bent on "mud slinging." This is a very strong reason, even if there were no others, for moving Perry S. Heath from the position of seoretary of the committee. He is too closely identified with the postal scandals. The Tulloch charges accuse him of serious indiscretions, while he held the position of first assistant post master general, and it is rumored that the Bristow report aoousos him of offloial corruption, of such kind that only the s'atute of limitations oan save him from indictment. In nocent ot guilty, he would be an object of attack for Uorman or other leaders and it is best for the party that he should go. Friends of an isthmian canal are somewhat alarmed by reports trora the west which indicate that in the Pacifloe coast states a systematic attempt is being quietly made to oonvinoe the people of that section that the advantage to all that part of the country in the trade with the Orient will be destroyed if thb oanal should be built. The argument is basod upon the fact that the geo graphical position of tbe Pacific coast is such that the prodncta of that puat of tbe oountry will have a marked advantage over other seo tions in the trade- with the Orient, and that all impjrtions will have to enter the ports of the Paoiflo coast. while if the canal were completed there would be oompatition from the east and trotn Europe. It is not known whethor this argument will have potent influence with the pres ent delegation in congress, but it indicates that strong interests in tbe country are opposed to cinal con struction. President Roosevelt has written a letter to the Interstate Levee Con vention in New Orleans in whioh he expresses a keen interest in the proposal to protect the Mississippi lowlands by levees. He declares that such protection is of importance to the whole country, no less than to the people immediately adjoining the river. He wishes tbe convention success and says he will follow its proceedings closely Fifteen states are represented and it has been re solved to appeal to tbe Federal Gov ernment for adequate aid to build levees on both banks of the river and to maintain them at the maxi mum grade, thereby making possible reclamation and protection of the alluvial lands and improvement of navigation. Secretary of Agricul ture Wilson was present at the con vention and expressed thorough sympathy with its purpose. A small flurry was created at the Japanese Legation here by the pub lication of a telegram of General MacArthur, dated Manila, December 28, 1900, ia which tho General da olared that evidence h'ld been dis covered of the dealings between an oHicial of the Japanese consulate at Manila, and the insurgent loader Triad. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister here has givea out a long interview in which he declares that General MaoArthur must have been mistaken, and that Japan deairel no conoessious from the Philippine in surgents, The controversy has not yet boon settled, and the Japanese declare that it is aa attempt to alieuate American sympathy from Japan in case of a conflict with Kiissia. General MacArthur must have had some gruuuds for his ac cusation aud Japan's explanations wid be interesting. To Cure a CuM in On Eay Fake La;ttive Bnaiio Qiiinine Tab lets.
