There are now a few over three hundred teachers in the county and a very large percentage of them were present. All of Monday morning was taken np with the reception of the teachers and awignicg honor cards, ete. The institute was formerally opened in the opera house at 1:30 o'clock on HMon- day afteraoon with singing and a prayer by Rev. Fred W. Barry. Soperiotendent D. O. Esters made a brief speech in which he impressed upon the teachers the importance of attending every session and bearing and heeding the advice of the various instruo- tors, Thue first speaker introduced was Prol. A. L. Warren, of New York, ‘who spoke on the subject “This Way ;'’ or in other words told the teacher» how to teach school. Al- ways smile and be pleasant, see that your own deportment corresponds with what you expect or exact of your papils, be pa- ent as well as evergetic, and above all pleasant and kind. Prot. H. E. Hall, of Mausfield, Ohio, spoke on the present day methods of ad- vanced education and urged the teachers to ges out of the old rats of readin’ writin’ and ’rithmetic, and teach according to up- to-date methods. In some of the public schools of the west they seach clay model- ing, lace making and the baking of bread, and while this is an age of davgerous specialization, all schools should be organ- ized to suit the locality in which is is, and nothing is too good for the boys and gitls of today. The entertainment on Monday evening was a lecture hy D. Gabriel McGuire, of Cleveland, Ohio, his sabject being “The Land and the Game Where Roosevelt Hunts.” It was a very interesting de- seriptive talk and to make it more impres- sive Mr. McGuire exhibited a fine collection of idols, snake skins, bells, poisoned ar- rows, ete., used by the various tribes in Africa. The first speaker Taesday morning was Jonas A. Wagner, who earnestly recom- mended a reading course for teachers. Dar. ing the past year seventy-three teachersin the county pursued this method of self- study and all approved of it. Saperinten- dent Charles Lose, of Williamsport, spoke of the good derived from the literary work in the school and urged teachers nos to neglect it, Prof. T. I. Mairs, of State College, gave an interesting talk on the importance of agriculture and strongly sdvocated the teaching of it in the common schools so far as it is possible to do. The very fact that tbe big majority of boys and girls from the farms never get to college and probably not to a High school is a strong argoment why they should be taught something about their own vocation while they dogo to echool. Dr. Warren and Prof. Hall co. copied all the time Tuesday afternoon. The Tuesday evening entertainment was a lecture by Prof. Byron W. King, of Pitts. horg. Wednesday forenoon institute was en- tirely taken up with talks by Prol. King, Dr. Warren and eoperintendent Charles Lose, of Williamsport, and in the after- noon Prof. C. D. Koch and R. M. McNiel, of Hartisharg, were the principal speakers. Wednesday morning the High schoo! teachers in the county held a conference in the W. C. T. U. room in Petriken hall over which C. L. Gramley presided. Yes- terday’s sessions were equally interesting with those of the preceding daye and the concert by the Rooney boys last night drew a packed house. The institute will close thts morning. To their credit it can be eaid that the teachers this year were unosually regular in their attendance and gave close atten- tion to all the instructors and lecturers. SCHOOL DIRECTORS CONVENTION.

This address was fall of suggestions and advice on the bes- termment of the High sohools of the Sate. Prof. H. E. Hall, of Mansfield, Ohio, fol- lowed in an address, on keeping the boy on the faim. Prol. Hall urged upon di- rectors the need of teaching the elements of agriculture in the schools and as a means of keeping the boy on the farm give him a piece of ground to farm and allow him to bave ail he shall succeed in raising thereon by working is in the most intelligent and skillful mauner.

He was oat in the woods nos far from Clarence one day last week and spied a cab bear lying at the foot of a tree. He took deliberate aim and fired two shots into the little animal but was somewhat discon fitted upon going up to the bear to discover that it had already been killed by some other bunter and its legs tied together so as to make the carry- ing of it easier. Of comise Mr. Kachio is especially pleased to have his lriends eom- mend his marksmanship in shooting the bear and also congratulate bim upon the turkey he won one night last week. GRANGERS AT BraTE COLLEGE.—Slate College bas been overcrowded this week with farmers and representative business men io attendance at the thirty seventh annnal meetiog of the Pennsylvania State Grange. Up to noon on Wednesday just oue thogsand four hundred and sixteen delegates had registered and this number with about one bandred exhibitors, news. paper men and others attending the meet. ing swelled the number to about seventeen hundred. The town was taxed to the limit to entertain such a large crowd hat the committee of arrangements bad done their work so thoroughly that everybody was comfortably taken care of. The sessions began at ten o'clock on Taesday morning when Hon. Leonard Rhone made the address of welcome. The responses were by W. T. Creasy, master of the State Grange, and lectarer J. T. Ail- man. Io his speech Mr, Creasy stated shat the grange in Pennsylvania was making rapid forward strides. Thirty new granges were organized daring the past year and the State bas advanced from fourth to third place in the list of membership, eto. Mr. Creasy also advocated local option, an increased tax for good roade and purer politios. H. N. Clark, of Westmoreland county, was the father of a resolution urging grang- ere to insist on the nomination of a farmer for Governor at the expiration of Governor Stuart's term of office. A resolution was also passed recommending that the coosti- tation heso amended that all candidates for office be elected by a direct vote of the people. On Taesday evening a public meeting was held in the auditoriumn at which a nomber of very able addresses were made. The one important thing at the granger’s meeting on Wednesday was the report of the legislative commistee. In it they at. tacked the high tariff as unjust to the farmers and laboring men, advocated the enactment of laws compelling the corpora. tions to carry their share of the cost of run- ning the government, scored the State Highway department for what they term exorbitant charges for building state roade, declaring that there was an appearance of graft where $14,000 were paid for building a mile of road which ordinarily should not cost over from $8,000 to $10,000, and in the same paragraph denounced the Govern. or for cutting the appropriation for town- ship roads when there is such a large balance in the state treasury ; they advo cated the election of United States Sena- tors by direct vote, the enactment of a law creating a parcel post and favored a revi sion of the national banking laws. Miss Frances Broomal, of Delaware county, created a little sensation when she introduced a resolution favoring the sul: fragette movement and had the same re- ferred to the committee on resolutions without debate, and the question now is will the State Grabge place itsel! on reo- ord as endorsing the movement. One of the speakers of the morning was Prol. R. L. Watts, who talked on apple growing. Wednesday afternoon was devoted by the grangers to an inspection of the college and its varions departments and all were astonished and likewise pleased at its immensity. —— p+ CELEBRATED SILVER WEDDING —Mr. and Mrs. D.
