LOCAL & OTHER ‘MATTERS.
Centre County Teacher’ 's Institute.
Reported for the Democratic Watchman.)
This venerable and flourishing organiza.
tion was convened during the holidays in the
German Reformed Church at Centre Hal't—
Teihaps none of its thirteen sessions was
more deeply interesting and harmonmious.—
Although many of its members have left
their homes and accustomed spheres of duty
and repaired to those scenes of conflict
where intelligence an’ ‘ue are arrayed
against error and rebellio. , co restore the in
integrity of the Union, yet we were delight~’
fully surprised to find at least one hundred
tea J5&xs convened ; and to listen to their de-
liberations on the best modes of imparting
instruction and ads ancing the cause cf hu-
wanity. One would almost forget that the
storm is, abroad in his anger and desolation,”
save, when, in answer to the roll.call, the
witty response had the savor of patriotism
and valor, Much of the vivacity and energy
which characterized is sessions, was owing
to the part which Mr. Thomas Holahan per-
formed acting as County Superintendent and
elso as President pro tem. The Secretary,
Mr. L. O. Neff, also the Treasurer, Mr. W.
B. Wagoner, were very active. aad presided
with grace and dignity. We must not forget
the amiable Vice Presidents. viz.: Misses
Emma Tate and Kate Reese, who among
about fifteen other lady teachers, frequéntly
favored the Institute with interesting re-
marks on the various topics under discussion.
A letter was received from {he regular
President, regretting his absence. The Con-
stitution and By-Laws having been lost. a
provisional Constitution was adopted, which
was laid aside when the old Constitution was
found. This fact was quite refreshing, as
the President, not being a secessionist, (nor
an abolitionist, we hope. —Eps.) was deter-
mined to abide by the Constitution.
The various sessions were opened with
prayer by Mr. John H. Keller, the Superin-
tendent, Prof. T. Weaver, Rev. N, Shacfier,
Prof. J. E. Thomas, Mr. W. B. Wagoner,
Mr. R. H. Crosthwaite, and H. Y. Stitzer,
respectively. Accordiug to a resolution our
remarks must constitnte only a synopsis of
the discussions, and in consequence many
names must remain silent which occurred
frequently in the journal. We must also
condense even the mention of topics.
Elementary instruction received the most
attention, and deservedly. The topic, ¢ At
what age should children commence the
study of Enghsh Grammar 2” elicited con.
flicting opinions, but most of the speakers
were in favor of oral exercises exclusively
until the pupil was tolerably proficient in
reading, writing, and ‘mental arithmetic —
Next topic ¢ Fo what extent should oral in-
struction J adopted 2”
The, President said oral instruction was
anterior to written and printed works, and
that the latter were only the helps to the for-
mer ; and, consequently, while teachers
have books they should also use the former
freely. Mr. A. A Kerlin sprung the ques-
tion, ** what constitutes oral instruction 9’
when a number of gentlemen informed him.
Prof. I". Weaver said’oral instrustion should
be the preface or first part of a recitation,
and should be suggestive for the next one.
Penmanship was opened by Mr. E. 8. Dar-
worth, in an Essay, and subsequently by
blackboard exercises, illustrating the prin-
ciples and their combinations in the Spencer-
ian system. Mr. Lose also illustrated the
principles of Potter & Hammond's system,
and by comparison made it appear that his
system being a modificatiou of Spencer's,
was more simple and more serviceable for
common school purposes. It seems the for-
mer system which is the ‘more ornamental,
has five principles, while the latter has onty
three. Blackboard exercises, it was decided,
should accompany penmanship.
Spellng or Orthography was discussed by
Mr. A. Kerlin advocating oral spelling and
¢ trapping,” or * shooting words.” Mr, W.
Weaver explained his method of blackboard
spelling. He requires his pupils to note the
vowels whose quantity is important by ex:
ponential figures, also the accent, and the
parts of compound words. Mr, W. B, Wag:
oner advocated the use of slates for the
same purpose, and noted the failures by an
exchange reading by the pupils. Prof. 7.
Weaver referred to phonetics to remedy Ger-
man provincialisms in pronunciation,
Composition ; various metnods were pres
sented to teach this very important branch,
Mr. W. Weaver opened it and said he re-
quired his pupils to writein alternate lines,
giving him space for corrections in false |
syntax, orthography, &c. He would ana-
lyze a complicated subject for the pupil be- |
fore he composed.
of words to express ideas modified.
Geography ; Mr. A. A. Kerlin conducted |
a class drill on this subject, and gave hints |
to interest a class, when questions were ask-
ed him by the teachers, as *¢ Should a teach-~
er conceal his ignorance, or should he dis
semble before his class > ¢ Why are the |
circles located where they ar: on the globe?”
The former was negatively answered by sev- |
Zoval teachers; and Prof. T. Weaver explain. |
‘ed the latter upor. astronomical principles.
Witten Arithmetic ; Prof. T. Weaver
Mr. R.F. Holmes used
® the board to show his method of teaching | tual family concerns, whose burthen society
children to construct sentences and the use
the right to the separatrix as in integers.--
Various questions were asked and answered.
Readins ; WB. Wagoner showed the
necessity of having pupils to read intellizent-
ly inorder to read naturally. Mr, E. S. Dar-
worth would teach reading before spelling to
children by mears of cards. Mr. A. A.
Kerlin would have them to spell well in or-
der to make fluent readers. Prof. J, E-
Thomas spoke at length on this subject,
showing a preference to the spelling bo k
rather than to hasten on to Fifth Readers
too soon. The sunject bemg postponed,
Prof. T. Weaver was appointed to open it
next morning. He said to be natural is the
perfecticn of art, and to he good readers re-
quires a knowledge of elocution. Te illus
trated various styles of reading in which
the voice was abused, affected. and unnatuo-
ral. Ile said children at play talk most un-
affectedly, and should be taken as models.
Prof. J. Pattern said even children imi.
tated the affectation of parents. He would
explain every word in tke lesson, and show
the nicest shade of meaning, and why an
exchange of o her words would destroy the
sense. Mr. S. S. Wolf asked ¢ How shall
we teach German pupils to read English 27
D. S. Keller replied that the use of German
conversation should be prohibited among the
pupils. The Superintendent said he had
taught a German school in a German settle-
ment. where he had to employ an interpreter
and teachers sheuld not be influenced by the
German, but should influence it.
English Grammar ; Prof. J. E. Thomas
conducted a class drill on the verb. Ile said
the predicate was very imperfectly under
stood by our teachers, and gave examples
for classification on the board, illustrating
the copula as modified by identity and
tribute. Messrs. II. Y. Stitzer and Patter-
son also spoke on the subject.
Proportion of Numbers was explained by
Mr. G. Y. Earbart, and answers were given
to a number of questions in which all were
interested.
Object Lessons ; Mr. E. CO. McClintock
explained his method of contrasting the
quelitics of objects, and recommended the
introdaction of this branch into our sc ools.
The Alphabet and Mental Arithmetic receiv-
ed very little attention at the Institute.
Miscellaneous Questions; Scveral ques-
tions were discussed, postponed and resam-
ed at difterent times, in which many took
an active part. On the question, * Should
public school-houses be used for other than
common school purposes 27 Messrs. A. A,
Kerlin, J. IL Potter, Wm. Neff, J. B. Wag~
oner, J. lI. Harpster, W. Weaver, Prof. J.
E. Thomas and T. Weaver, and the Super
intendent spoke. The result of the discus
sion is’ that the 1.w gives the Directors ex-
clusive control of such houses, and that when
they are used for other pnrposes, security
should be given by such parties to return
them in the condition when lent,
these conditions being complied with, sensi.
ble Directors should not interfere with the
people’s business, whose servants they are
n this matter.
On the question, * What use should be
made of the Bible in the Common School 2?
fourteen persons spoke, the same as on the
former question, adding the names of Miss
©. Tate, E. S. Darworth E. P. Foresman, R.
F. Homes, L. C. Neff, Dr. R. C. Wier and
Rev. -
The result of the discussion is that the
Bible should be used without note or com-
ment for devotional exe cises as expressed
in a subsequent resolution. Sectarianism
was frowned down, and immoral teachers
were shown in what responsible relations
they stand.
On the question, “To what extent should
the teacher associate with his pupuls ?”’ a
number of persons spoke, and the tenor of
the remarks decided that the teacher’s con-
duct in word and deed should always be ex.
emplary, and this being strictly adhered to,
all his associates must be benefited. He
should be a teacher everywhere.
On the question, ** May teachers use tobac-
co in the school-room ?’ a spirited discus-
sion was carned on by ladies and gentlemen,
and the result of it is summed up in one of
the subsequent resolutions, namely that
teachers discontinue tliis leafy branch intheir
course of pedagogics at the peril of forfeit-
ing their certificates !
On the question‘ Is the labor of females
in school inferior to that of males ;—if not
way should they not receive as much salary
as they 2" neaily all the lady teachers spoke
alternating with gentlemen. A number of
facts demonstrated that many females had
succeeded in superscding gentlemen in ob-
stinate sehools. Their labor, it seems, was
as valuable in quality, and nearly as great
in quantity ; but it was not unanimously
conceded that they shoald receive cqual sal
| aries, because their income was chiefly ex
pended for personal outlays while that of !
gentlemen was invested in prospective or ac-
mainly imposes upon the male. By a sub-
sequent consideration, however, it was agreed
that both should receive equal compensation
| for equal labor.
A number of philosophical questions were
proposed which elicited much interest, such
pass : “Why does frost bring bring down the
| leaves ¥* «In what direction from the base
| of a ship’s mast will a l all fall when dropped |
from its top 7 Does a halo about the sun
or the moon indicate falling weather ¢7— |
| “Why are the great deserts near oceans ?”
| On motim, the teachers of t e Centre
and that |
appointed to nominate regular officers for |
the Institute, which being done and an elee- |
tion held, the tellers reported the following |
officers elected for the ensuing year, viz:—

It was then decided to hold the next Conn.
