TEA0HEE8' INSTITUTE. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. pr. John B. DeMott lectured on Teaching that Pays." Facts which cannot be gainsaid are what pays. It is not the discount you do that nukes you strong. It is exceedingly difficult to tcich children unless you teach them facts historically. lie showed many objects illustrating the different processes of manufacturing. An arith metic written in 1546, with very cur ious problems, Indian relics to get pupils interested in Indian history. Kxperimcntal science with home made apparatus for our common schools wns discussed by Prof. Russell of the Millville Seminary. In the first place teachers should have soma experimental knowledge of these sub jects and then it will be both profit able and interesting to teach in our public schools with liomc-madc ap paratus. Children should be taught to observe anil have them examine so that they fully understand the experi ments. "Sweet 13y and By," was sung and then I'rof. Sperry spoke on the science and art of successful living. More colds are taken from over eating or want of exercise than by draughts of air. Dyspeptics sometimes come to me wondering why they feel so badly alter being so careful of their diet, eating no pastry, drinking no tea nor coffee ; yet if these same men would go to work in the woods they might eat fat pork, drink black coffee and eat solid biscuit and perhaps feel none the worst of it. Fresh air with exer cise is the best medicine. Worry lays the foundation of disease. Never worry about what you cannot help and never worry about what you can help are the two best doses for the wearing away ot pleasant life. We want a recognition of all (rod's laws ; a scien tide, practical common sense hygiene rtocr.ilcs once saia to some young men : "I have no time to talk with you fjr what you are speaks louder than you can." Supt. Johnston made some sugges tions and the Institute adjourned. TUKSIMY EVENING. The exercises opened with a solo by l'rof. Parker, a piano duett by Misses Rose Haas ami E'la Stump, ami Dr. Levin Irvin Handy, the lec turer of the eveniug, then in a most amiable manner told what he could in two hours of Patrick Henry. In con trasting the lives of Geo. Washington and Patrick Henry we find them both brave, noble and patriotic, but while Washington caused a pause and si lence to fall over a company of child ren, Henry was their most trusted friend, their best playfellow. The former rose step by step as the nation's father and greatest statesman, the lat ter by a single bound took rank with the greatest orators this worl'l ever knew. We cannot lie down to sleep one thing and wake up another. Pat rick llenrv had hid failures as well as all arduous youth must have.but he al so shared in the successes that awaits all such. He took to reading and when a man takes to reading seriously lie touches a door which swings on tolden hinnes. Eloquence. is not act ing ; wlierever there is a sublime emo tion there the snark of elomience be gins. W'EIJNKSDAV MOKNING. The teachers were assembled in two sections this morning. In the Opera House Rev. Mr. Brandt read a part of the 7th chapter of Matthew and led in prayer. Dr. DeMotte was yreeted with heartv aonlause as he stepped on the rostrum to resume his practical in structions on success in life. He said success means sacrifice. Teachers need to sacrifice : first, caprice for ca pacitv: second, leisure for labor : third dissipation for self discipline, and fourth sham for sincerity. " 1 here room for a soul to grow, and I'm bound to climb," exclaimed a boy as he paused while picking brush and only twenty-one years afterward he kehl the highest otlice attainable in 0 the church. Sinnine was indulged in for som time with a marked interest, Prof, Parker conducting. TI-... r.rnwinir Child' was the sub ject of Dr. Ilandy's morning I will narrow nivse'f down to lecture the in tellectual crowth of a child. A child is not a body. Men have a period of intellectual crowth as well as a physi tal one. We grow by individual effort His definition of an, old maul is woman who is not fool enough to be fooled bv f-verv fool who tries to fool -j j her. Dr. Snerrv talked on what he said might lie called "Bands and Chains or Breakage." We are all bound by bands "and chains which we must break. The first one I will name is heredity. We have certain tendencies that some are destined, to prison; igcorance is another band. Many persons will not eat at a table sur rounded by thirteen persons. De lusion cften leads men to the minis try or the school room when they shculd be hoeing corn or shoveling gravel. ; No other thing is deluding more people today than drugs. 'Habit was the last uamed chain. Truth will break, all 'these bupds. - Du.ll pupjls have genet ally proved to be superior to the bri limit ones in the end. At the. iligii fcchool building . Prof Children Cryfor Pitcher's Castorla. Sperrv occupied the first period, fol lowed by Dr. DeMott, who said it is the duty of teachers to take care of the body as well as to train the men tal power. J'upi's should be taught to govern themselves. , Mrs. Klin B. Greene, cf Hvde Tark. Massachusetts, spoke on Physiology and Hygiene. Teach pupils to ob serve the form and structure of the body and kinds of food necessary to propel ly develop it. Mipt. Johnston spoke to the youim teachers on some timely school topics. Always nave a regular tune to open and close school and be sure to live up to it. Better not keep scholars in after school. Keep a prom-am. WKPNK.SDAY AFTERNOON. When Prof. Parker took charge of the music this afternoon, the house was nearly full and before long it was evident the people were going to beat an former records of attendance thus far during the week. Dr. Sperry gave his last lecture this afternoon, on retlex activities. Laugh ing and singing are rellex as well as walking. Training our organs to do the right thing in the right way at the time is the secret of success and by and by this house of ours will take care of itself. F.very thinu we should learn to do well, then we will have no trouble. Retlex activities will occur can't help it. John Burns the engineer, trained himself m this way, when a freight car had been hurled across the track in front of his moving train, he seized the lever, turned on all the steam, rushed into the car with such force as to split it in two parts leaving the train to pass on without any loss of life. This man had train td himself to do the right thing in the right time at the right place, in the lit way. For this one rellex act he not only saved many lives but was pre sented with a purse of four hundred dollars. Prof. L. K. A. Crouter, of the Penna. Institution for the deaf and dumb with two bright looking boys from this institution illustrated to a very atten tive audience what they arc teaching the deaf, for he says there are really dumb persons. These boys could talk and answer any question asked them, write sentences ot their own formation, containing any common word suggest ed. After distributing tickets to vote for five teachers of the county as a commit tee to examine applicants for perman entcertificates. Mrs. Ella B.Greene talk ed on physiology. Fermentation is pro cess of doing away with that which na ture does not need. This should be ex plained with the use of objects by the teachers using microscopes to show the pupils the existence of life too minute for . the naked eye. Do not try to teach children what you cannot verify to them. The Mctherell Orchestra with Prof. Richardson at the piano accompanied l'rof. Parker's voice in singing one of his choice selections. Miss Haas san a solo in a clear musical voicn which held the house in a death like silence. WED.VF.SDAY EVENING. In a few well selected words Prof. J. P. Welsh introduced Col. o. W . Bain, of Kentucky, who lectured on Pro-.e Ballad's o! Human Life. The large audience evidently showed the general favor of the speaker, for he has been Here Delete, ana wouiu re ceive a most nearty welcome again. It is impossible to convey the silvery tones, the exquisite oratory, ana ine inimical wholeheartedness of the speaker in his life work of elevating the standard ot morality ana ine building of human character on a basis of malice toward none and love to all mankind. Among the many good thinirs he said we select the follow ing : While music fills the soul Thom as "Pavne's Home Sweet Home filh our hearts with glorious memories. We speak of life as a shadow but treat it as the rocks or the everlasting hills. Instead of takins the doctor's niedi- n,r,P ant nn in the morning and after taking a bright walk in the pure morn ing air you will go back with an ap ,,.f?lte the doctor can never give you Oh the golden links nature would add to our year if we would get up and let the morning paint roses on our cheeks and sparkling brilliants in our eyes. 1 have never rounded the globe, but I have rounded nearly every curve on nr r.ii I mads and seen the mountains covered with natures beauties and no where have I found life so cheertul as u,h..n thev "list to natures teachings." Some people make life miserable by rrnnnariiiir what little they have to u,hnt nthers have.

One thing makes me sad while traveling for the last ten years up and down'this beau tiful land and that is so many country boys going to the city. 1 believe there is more comfort and happiness awaiting the l.oys in the- country .than will evvr be found in the city. Country .life is, .-the fjweetest. God bitss the country ooy. . , , THURSDAY MINING- I The teachers were again divided in Children Cryfor Pitcher's Castorla. two sections this morning. In the Opera House after singing several new pieces the Rev. Mr. Heilman Conducted the devotional txerciscs by leading a portion of Proverbs and prayer. Mv,s F.lla L. Richardson of the New York Normal Art School by ex planation and lruv'.ra'.ion rr':sentcu 1 t.ie subject of diawnig in nn instruct I ive and at the same tune a very cnlcr taing manner. Drawing is receiving mote attention each year. In many States teachers must pass an axamina tion on this as well as the other branches. She said pupils should be required to study and think about their lessons in drawing the same as arithmetic. Don't talk if you have nothing'to s.iy, was sung by the institute, after winch Mis. Ella Greene resumed the talk on Physiology. It is necessary to know the origin of the narcotics in order to teach physiology well. Water, sugar, ferment and heat are the four necessary things to produce alcohol. Anything that deadens or stupifics the nerves is a narcotic. The use of opiates even among scholars is grow ing to an alannilig extent. We must lay the most of the blame to dishonest physicians and warn our children against it. Disintegration of muscles and exhausted nerve force is the cause of heart failure. Prof. Parker led in singing, after which geography was discussed bv Prof. Cbas. H. Albert of the Normal School in a practical way. The end of teaching he says is to find a new truth. Not only impart knowledge but test and prove it. No teacher in Columbia Jcounty needs a moulding table to teach what a lull is, but it may be used to test his knowledge of it. You cannot discuss climate, soil or products without you know the re lation of the different divisions of land. Develop conscious powers in order to find things. Childre-i should know what they know and you know what they know. They will get in their minds a conglomeration of stuff without any definite concepts of the relations of places and things. Have a high school boy load a vessel with a salable cargo to be unloaded and re loaded at all the principle ports in a journey round the world with salable goods. This will require rhany months but I believe children will consider this a pleasure and this will be of more value than nine tenths of what is usually taught. In the high school building Mrs. Greene spoke on physiology. Prof. Albert on primary geography and Miss Richardson ,011 the subject of drawing These talks were along the same line as were given in the Opera House, but were more especially de voted to the needs of the primary teacher. . The directors also had an interest ing meeting in the High School build ing this morning but this atternoon they will assemble with both sections of the teachers in the Opera House. TEACHERS LAST PAY MANY DIRECTORS HELP SW'IXL THE CROWD. Some people who pretend to know have saiiTteachers' institute are a waste of public money. How any teacher could attend the sessions of the pres ent institute without being benefited in some or many wavs is certainly more than any one would be able to say fearless of a successful contradic tion. 1 he rural teachers are brought in contact with their town neighbors ; those in the higher schools get a con ception of th leaders of the country minds which have always proved the nation's able leaders, and all receive that inspiration aid high ideal of a noble education, which only those who have climbed the ladder are able to impart. It is an utter improbability that a teacher can be moved by these inspirations without lifting their pupils to a higher and a nobler life. The Opera House was full Thurs day afternoon when Mrs. Greene spoke on brain and nerve work, ex planing the power of the mind, struct ure of the brain, cause of the delirium and the power to think. In a very pleasant voice Miss Haas sang a beautiful song. Charles C. Evans addressed the teachers and more especially the di rectors on the subject of "Our Public School System." Our schools were not properly represented at the Chi cago Exposition. Columbia county gave but $20 of which Berwick gave ten and Beaver and Locust each live dol lars. The highest function of a school system is not to teach books but make character. It is preposterous to think an examination of a few days will cover the ground of a year's work. We know of several pupils suffering from nervous prostration brought 011 by worry over examinations. We be lieve no more institutes will be held . .... .1. . fiii. . in this state in inu untune 01 ine school term. Prof. Albert thin in a most lively , ... 1 . 1 1 : .. .1: l- maimer upcue on -senooi wiscipunc. He said the fust thing a child should know was to govern itself. We should govern our schools by appealing to the pupils conscience. bo long as our school houses are not furnished like our homes we should not expect good order. - ''The Proper Relation of -Teacher, Pupil ancl Parent," was'lhe subject of a very able address by L. B. Kline, M. D. Parents should visit the schools Children Cryfor Pitcher's Castorla. if they wish the highest success at tainable, it not only inspires the child ren but helps the teachers. Prof. Parker led in singing a few of his choice se'ections nndon account of the illness of the next instructor, Miss Ella Richardson, the institute ad journed. lllL kSPAY EVENING. The Ollie Torbett Concert Com pany had a crowded house and enter tained them in such a way as to re ceive rounds of apt) ause. Tne smil ing face and gracefulness of Miss Ollie Torbett in rendering the most exquisite harmony from the liveliest of all musical instruments, the violin, sent a thrill of enthusiasm through the vast audience which was greeted with well deserved applause. It would have added somewhat to the enjoy ment of the Lutteman Sextette, who are from Stockholm, Sweden, if they would have sung less in their own language and more in ours. FRIDAY MORNING. The institute sang "Autumn Weath er," and Rev. Patterson read 1st John 3rd chapter, and offered prayer. Supt. Johnston named the teachers who are to take charge of the local institutes in the several townships, made some explanations and stated of the 233 teachers in the county 223 were present and three were unable to come on account of sicknss. The . various committees reported as follows : Permanent certificates W. W. Heff ner, chairman , Boyd Trcscott, Secre tary; E. K. Richardson, Mrs. L. L. Steadman and O. H. Yetter. Auditing committee, of which B. F. Kellcy was chairman. Report of 1892: Receipts $914.51; expendi tures $047. r 1 ; balance $67.40. Committee on resolutions, E. K, Richardson, chairman. Be it resolved by th teaahers of Columbia county in Institute assem bled : 1. I hat we tender our thanks to our County Superintendent for the in teresting and profitable instruction and entertainment which he has fur nished lor our benefit and to all our instructors for their earnest efforts in our behalf. 2. That we resptctfully urge all school boards to lengthen the school term. 3. That if it can be done, the Institute be held so as not to interfere with the school term. 4. That the teachers have at least a little benefit of the five and one half millions in the shape of more equitable wages. 5. That the teachers be employed as soon after the meeting of the new board in June as possible. 0. I hat we teachers will strive to improve our methods, systems of teaching, and ourselves by reading regularly, professional books and periodicals. E. K. Richardson, Ella McIIenry, R011KRT Bardo, Harriet Cook. I Com. Prof. Albert next talked on the ob jects and methods of the teacher Teach princip e instead of facts. All literature is founded on human nature. What is the difference whether Evan geline lived or not ? Civil Government was next presented to the teachers by P. E. K. Richard son, of Berwick. Teachers should be familiar with all recent school laws, Younger scholars can be taught the different township officers as well as the older ones. After teaching town ship officers take up borough, county city, state and national government Cultivate a law of patriotism and 1 love for law. Prof. Parker again took charge of the musical department which has been receiving so much attention that the teachers now sing with a spirit and a will. After a short recess Mrs. Greene made some excellent suggestions on school woik. Teachers should re ceive much help in order to be sue cessful. Book companies find it does not take quite so many books since they are bought by the directors Study your children, some of them will help you and some will need your help. This year especially when so manv milh and factories are closed we should try and be successful in our teaching. Alter singing " I he bweet By aiu By," Rev. Mr. Heilman spoke a few words of admonition recommending the Bible as the best of all books to help over difficulties, and after prayer the Teachers' Institute was a thing of the past.
