They bring forth a litter of two or three, be-

The new ro.ad law proposed by Senator
Gobln contemplates some most radical
changes in tho manner of maintaining our
county roads. Whllo there aro sbmo pro.
visions that commend themselves to those
who desire good roads and hopo to see th
day when It will be possible to drive faster
than a walk without fear of "breaking a
spring," yet the radical changes provided
tor in this bill seems to us to bo nor) than
Is demanded at this time. The Idea of a
county engineer, under whoso general su
pervision all tho roads would lie made and
repaired, Is not a bad one, but tho people
will be slow to accept a law that purposes
to remove from them all control over tho
roads. The manner of the selection of
this engineer, however, Is decidedly ob-
jcctlonable. Instead of being selected by
a convention of supervisors or road con.
trollers, as provided in the bill, he ought to
bo appointed by tho Court. In tho ono
caso the engineer would bo a politician who
could pull tho wires, and who, if ho was a
very shrewd man, would havu countless
wires to pull before he had been In olllco
many years, wbilo in case of appointment
by tbo judge there would bo a bare possl
billty that ho would have somo qualifications
required for tho placo. This is only ono
feature of many that Is contemplated by a
bill that would, If it became a law, Intro
duce a wholly tew road system into tho
State. Those who aro interested in the
subject ought to glvo It somo attention.

A very successful Tpnchcts' Institute
was held In Centralis, Friday and Satur
day, April 8th and OMi. Many eminent In
structors wcro present, Including Deputy
Stnto Superintendent Houck, Profs. Wal
lcr anil Noctllng of tho Bloomsburg Stato
Normal School, County Superintendent
Grimes, aud Profs, Mlchcncr and Estlcr, of
Ashland. The local teachers also took an
actlvo part In the proceedings, and a very
extensive programme, embracing a broad
rango of educational subjects was very
successfully carried out. The Instltuto
was called to order In Odd Fellows' Hall
on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Mr.
Buckley, of Ccutratla, delivered an ad
dress of welcome, and was replied to In
fitting terms by County Supt. Grimes.
Prof. Mlchtner, of Ashland then addressed
the Institute, on "Tho Teaching of Eng.
lish." "An educated man is bo who knows
his language the best. Besides the me
chanical knowledge of languago one must
know tho UBo of words, but tbo story of a
word Is not the mother tongue, the point
is to mako every slnglo word produce a
definite idea in the mind. Educators must
remember that there Is a power of think-
ng to bo generated, and that" there must
uc given 10 ino mind ot every person a
perfect instrument for seizing hold of
thought. When words suggest dcflnlto
thoughts to a pupil, ho Is becoming master
of the tnnguo ho is using." At tho closo
of Prof. MIcbener's remarks, tho Instltuto
sang "Work Away," and then tho pupils
from Mr. Curry's room gavo a class drill on
the "bones and muscles." Declamations
and essays by pupils from tho various
schools followed, after which Mr. Hcffncr,
of Ccntrnlla read a paper on ''Hindrances
to tho Success of our Schools." Deputy
blate Supt. Houck had one of his charac
teristic talks with tbo Institute, graphically
contrasting old with modern methods of
nstructlon, humorously described "Yo
Schoolmaster of Ye Olden Tyme," nnd
closed with a strong appeal for the protec
tion of our public school system and np
prcclatlon of the labor of tbe teacher. Tho
Institute under the leadership of Prof.
Houck then sang "There is a Good Time
Coming," after which, at 5.30 p. m. tho In-
tituto adjourned.
In the evening Prof. Houck addressed a
argo auuience in the Opera House, on
The Old and the New." Frequent bursts
of applause testified how thoroughly the
uudience cpjoyed the effort of the speaker.
Tho Institute reassembled nt 10 a. m. Sat-
unlay morning. After declamations, etc
by the pupils. Prof. Noctllng, of Blooms
burg Normal School, spoko on "Methodeof
Tcaehing." "By oral objective method,"
s meant, that which adds to tho purely ob
jective method, tho use of such words, as
are necessary to direct the learner's mind
n thinking of the objects presented. Hie
written method substitutes language for
things, other methods arc known as the
analytic and pyntbentic. Ono leading tho
luind from a study of the whole, to a view
of its parts, and tho latter Just the oppo
site. Tbe truo method will be that ono
which will best accomplish tho purposes
for which the act of teaching is exercised.
These purposes are to direct tho pupil to
the acquisition of knowledge, to the true
way of thinking, and to tho right develop
ment of tb5 whole nature. Tho child
which Is blessed simply with senso at first,
must have those senses well cultured. For
this you arc to uso object, lessons, and
pictures, and bring things In contact with
the child. The first faculty a child ex
hibits is simple imagination, also concomi
tant with that, comes memory, by tho time
the child Is 11 to 13 it begins to develop a
thinking power. The great work is to
train every faculty of tho child. There
should be sound oral instruction, about
the great deeds of the past, the great works
that have been accomplished. Prof. Wal
ler then addressed the Institute on "School
Manners." It is a common mistake to
suppose that manners should only be cul
tivated at home. It is tbo work of tbe
schools to prepare a child for life's duties.
Manners enter far more largely into tho
failuro or succcs" of life's voyage, than wo
aro apt to suppose. First Impressions are
very potent, and tbo person of polished
manners, all other things being equal, Is
apt to dis'anco his less cultured brother.
A teacher should have frequent talks with
his pupils, on the subject ot manners
Seek to have them cultivate the highest
possible types. A teacher should never
criticize any lack of culture in a pupil in
the presence of others, that should always
be a personal subject. Education, really
begins tho day tho boy leaves school It ho
does not know a single ono of the ologies,
if you have taught him to uso his knowl
edge for practical purposes, you havi done
n good work.
The afternoon session was opened by a
class drill "The Blood Circulation" by
pupils from Mr. Curry's school after which
Mr. Kelly rend an excellent paper on "How
to teach History" and was followed by
Prof. Waller, who delivered his celebrated
lecture on "What shall wu do wltu our
boys." Tho learned gentleman advocated
the establishment of industrial schools, us
meai.a of perpetuating our Common
Weal uud Wealth. Mr. Curry then read a
paper on "Aids to inc success or our
schools," aud then County Supt. Grimes
read a very able paper ou "Tho Influence
of the Teacher " A class drill on "Lai
guage" was conducted by Mr. Burke aud
onu In "Penmanship" by Mr. Haunon.
after which Hon. C. G Murphy delivered
a very humorous auu entertuinlug discourse
on "School Reminiscences", addrcstcs
were also delivered by Messrs. Geo. W.
Davis, Edward Reese and Profs. Wllber
and Estlcr. Tbe following resolutions
were then adopted.
Resolved, That the heartiest thanks ot this
institute aiu due to i'rurs. Urime.-, Waller,

Tho Iustltute adjourned at 6 p. m. sine
die.
Thus closed one of tho most interesting
educational meetings ever held In this sec
tion, and It la to be sincerely hoped that
the lessons ot tho Instltuto will not be lost
on teachers and patrons but on tho con
trary, that tho former may bo stimulated
to renewed efforts in tho noble causo ot
education, and the people by understand
Ing and appreciating the efforts of the
schools may do their sbaro in carrying out
tho purposts of their establishment.
