Tlio New York World Is acknowledged
to bo tlio lending Democratic paper In the
United States. Everybody ought to take n
city paper In addition to n local one. Wo
have made arrangements with tho Weekly
World to club with tlio Coi.umiiian.
price of tho Weekly World Is $1.00. On
receipt ot $2.80 wo will send tho two pa
pers to nny address In tho county, for onu
year. Clubs of flvo persons at ono post of
llco can get them for $10,00 If ordered at
ono time. This Is a very liberal offer, and
Is mado for tho purpose of extending our
circulation nnd not because there Is any
money In It.
Wo do not bcllevo In tho chromo busi
ness. All the county newspapers aro pub
lished at , rates so low that tho margin of
profit is very small, and unless all aubscri
bers pay up, tho loss Is nearly equal to tho
profits. Wo consider that our readers get
tho full worth ot their money out ot this
paper at $1.00 a year, and wo cannot af
ford to givo every subscriber a gold watch
or a piano, at that price. But wo will do
this : Every subscriber who will pay up
all arrearages and ono year in ndvanco will
receive for ono year, Good Cheer, a monthly
paper devoted to the interests of homo and
family, and containing much valuable
reading matter. A sample copy can bo
seen at this olUcc. This oiler will stand
only for a limited time, and all who wish
to get $3.00 worth for $1.C0, should attend
to it at once.

The nineteenth century Is un age of mar

Every thing seems to move with a system,
aud to its utmost tension. Tho arts are in
tho highest state ot development and per

adapted to every conceivable industry, nnd
they hnvo also become the great mollvo
for transportation of huge and collossal
burdens, which are carried in every direc
tion, and from every point over our vast
domain, nnd all over tho world with the
velocity of tho wind, not by strength,
nerve, or muscle, nor by tho forco of
beasts, but by tho will, ingenuity and skill
of man. Not only will this continue until
every portion of tho Inhabitable globe Is
peopled, settled and supplied with pro.
ducts, commodities uud industries iu nil
countries alike, but until every barrier and
vestige of national supremacy are broken
down, nnd an equilibrium produced iu civi
lization, Christianity aud sscial conditions,
and ull tariff aud labor protection swept

Its level. The sciences emphatl.
cally demonstrate this idea, und
every decade it becomes more evidently
manifest. Ignorance and supeistltlonfudu
before their glaring light ns tho darkness
Ikes from the light of the aim. The full
and complete realization ot such u result
In the natural order ot progression is us
inevitable and irresistible ns the uoouday
sun which courses his way through the
heavens unobstructed by the shadows
which continually recede ou his approach.
Messages aro now sent nil over tho globe

After the resolutions wor udopted Prof,
Balliet continued his tall; on primary utltli
inetlc. Ho would not touch figures during
tho first six months or year of tho child's
schooling. Children cannot think of num
ber without thinking of tilings. He show,
ed tho several processes ot thought lu tho
child's mind In learning its first lessons In
figures, This closed tlio forenoon ses.
sion.
Tho afternoon session was well Attended
by the teachers. They ar not required, by
law, to attend longer Uiuu til noon,
Prof Balliet then answered and dlscust a
few questions uskt by some ot the teachers.
Ho would nol teach the multiplication
table. To understand u number tho child
must understand all tho process in that
number. 'Ihe child has lerued proceses
beforo it came to bchool j but thoso pro
ceses must bo repeated with numbers 111
it understands proceses la connection witli
uiimber and number itself. He would
teach all the proceses, addition, subtrac
tlon, multiplication uud division In tho
lame recitation und of tho samo numbers.
lie condemns rapid calculation : because
it Is a mechanical operation rather than
onu ot reason. A soon as tho child can
think of objects without having them pre
sentcd to the senses, then figures can be
introduced with safety. Objects duro not
bo i.ttracllv for such draw tho child's atten.
tlon from thnt to bo taught to Uie contcm
platlon nnd admiration of ttie object Itself.
To reform a bad boy ho would try personal J
attachment t nnd keep htm busy at mens-
tiring schocl grounds, farms, houses, &c.
8-nal boys should not be cxpcled 1 but
tinged.
Prof. Harrison then recited "The Little
Girl's Wish."
Dr. Waller spoko on school discipline.
Tho school must bu properly heated and
lighted. Tho teacher must bo wldo awake.
Ho should hav a smooth temper and n dls.
position tn bo Impartial. Prof. Walker
spoko of tlio grentnes and grandeur of the
teacher's calling. Tho Prof, ought to
know for ho bus been In tho harncs for wcl
nigh n half century. Prof. Balllct then
mado his last and the last speech of this
Institute. Study tho child. Walch that
you mny not weary It In rocltnllon.
Make tho child tho object ot study and
adopt the means and methods used In Its
education to Its capacity and needs. In
compllnnnco to a resolution pased by tho
Institute, tho county was divided Into three
parts as follows 1 1st Berwick, Mlfilln,
Briarcreck, Centre nnd Scott, 2nd Bcnvcr,
Bloomsburg, Montour, Hemlock, Ccntra
lla and Conynghnm, 3rd Benton, Fishing-
creek, Jackson, Pine, Greenwood, Orange,
Mt. Pleasant and Madison. For each of
these districts a committee wns appointed
whose duty it is to nrraugc for a local in
Blltuto time, place, etc. The committee
nr as follows t for 1st district Amelia
Armstrong, II. M. Evans, Anna Millard
and J. L. Snyder, for 2nd district, O. H.
Bakelcss, Frances Becker, nnd Clins. W.
Gearhart j for 3rd district, James Robblns,
Thomas Kcster and Cora Keeler.
A resolution wns pased that a committee
lie appointed to nudlt the treasurer's ac
counts. No such committee was appoint
ed Hint I know of, nor has tho treasurer re
ported to mo the condition of tho Institute's
funds. I suppose thnt ho intends to fur
nish you with a copy of the receipts and
expenditures of the institute. If I had not
already taken up so much space I should
like to dlgres nn the probable good the in
stitute has don. That it was a complete
succcs there can be no doubt. Tho instruc
tion was the very best and was as a rule
well rcceiveed by the teachers. Thcro ar
however, too many teachers who attend
the Institute for the purpose of having a
good time, with no thought of being made
better teachers. 1 have no thanks for the
persons who saw tit to make me I heir
scribe. I had the mlsfortuno of not hear
ing a great part of what I havo here re
ported. I will say iu conclusion elect a
reliable person for your scribe next time
nnd don't forget that the absence of which
makes all disinterested labor unsavory.
