Stauffer was introduced and gave a talk on,"The Problem of attention." "Some causes for inattention are physical con ditions of the pupils, poor ventilation, indolence, poor seating capacity, obstinacy, weak will on part of puips,ccn?uriug puplis iu presence of the school and allowing unnecessary whispering. Two principles to gain attention are, create an interest and secure effort. Good questioning is a goad means in securing attention, ltapid work in addition, reading a story aloud and t hen have it reproduced, telling stories, and a good program are excellent means to secure and hold the attention/' Dr. S. E. Schmucker was then introduced and gave a talk on "Some of My Foster Friends.'' He said, "Some of the psychological features of an animal helps us to understand the children. One of the best ways to teach children kindness to to give them a pet to keep." Intermission. Dr. 8. D, Fess was then introduced and gave Ilia talk on, "A Method in History." "A good teacher should never allow his coun tenance to change when pupils are reciting, nor should he ask questions in such a way as to sug gest the answer." "The House of Burgess. The Mayflower Com pact, The Connecticut Constitution, The Declara. tion of Independence, are facts in hi6tory, but their combination will lead to a general truth, namely, that all men are equal and shows also the growth of self-government. Having pupils commit history is not teaching. In teaching history, teach truths, and then have the 112 acts to cover them over." Inititute was then adjourned until nine o'clock the aext morning. TUESDAY tyORNING. Institute was called to order by the President Miwi Mattie Collins, devotional exercises were conducted by Dr. Johnson. Music . Koll call. Prof. H. F. Staufl'er gave an interesting ad dress on "Spelling." "Some reasons for poor spelling, are mispro nunciation on part or the pupils and teachers, imperfect vision, and imperfect artifical vision. Good wjitten spelling may be acquired by good oral spelling. Throw out the words that may be spelled easily, but spend time mostly on irregular words. Words should not always be taken from the spelling book, but words commonly mis pelied in composition should be used. Dr. S. E. Schmucker gave a delightful talk on the "Geology of the Country." Intermission often minntes. Music by Institute. Dr Fess spoke on "Samuel Adams and Nation al Spirit."

Stauffer discussed "Sonft Factors in Discipline." He said, "A class is poorly dis ciplined that cannot be left alone. One of the requirements for good discipline is thorough pre paration of work for class. To build character a teacher must not rest un til a pupil knows the difference petweeu right and wrong, and is able to choose for himself. Music. Dr. S. E. Schmucker gave a most interesting discussion on "My Three New Friends." He told about going to Bronx Park, New York City for the purose of studying two chimpanzees and oneorang. He said that they were very much like a human being, in a great many things that they do. Especially iu their manner of playing, and of teasing one another. He showed by illu strations that they had a highly developed power of thought and feeling. Intermission of fen minutes. Music. Dr. Fess' talk this afternoon was "Patrick Tlenry, the Prophet of the Revolution." Patrick Henry I ad lhe faculty of working upon the feel ings of his audience. Moses Tyler says, "Patrick Heny was the greatest lawyer "that America ever had." Not by any meaus the best educated lawyer for he was far from that, but the greatest in argueing his case before a jury. He was one of the most famous orators that ever spoke con cerning liberty in America." Institute was then adjourned until Wednesday morning. WEDNESDAY MORNING 9:00. Institute was called to order by the President Miss Collins. The devotional exercises were con ducted by Rev. J. M, Robertson. Music. Roll call. Prof. H. F. Staufl'er compared some of the edu cational ideas of the past with those of the future. That a teacher should get his own kindl ing wood, and that particular attention should be given to the principles and definitions of geography, were some of the ideas ol educational people, fifty years ago. "Why should not every school have a course in manual training, sewing, and cooking! They will come in the near future." It is a common tendency not to adjust our schools to tke ueeds of our people. Intermission. Music. Dr. 8. E. Schmucker spoke on"The Geography of the County." • The rock formation in Cam eron county are Chemung and Catskill, both be longing to the Devonian period, or one of the divisions of the second oldest formation of rocks and Pocani, Mauch Chunk, Kinz.ua and Coal." "The Geology of this county is very simple and affords the best fields for elementary study. The mountains here are the land which has not been washed away by the rivers and other tor rents. Water does not wear away the hardest rock. It is the wearing power of sand, which is in the water, and not of the water that wears away the land. In this county the level laud is on top of the hills, while in the eastern part of the state, the level land lies in the valleys which are made by the action of the water. Most all of the steep clifl's are composed of Pocara sandstone. The Sinnamahoning Creek cuts down to the Chemung only in and about Emporium. The gentle slopes' are of Catskill rock, composed of blue and red shale. Pocam is the hard rock on the tops of the mountains, and is a hard gray sandstone. Where the Sinnauiahoning Creek leaves the county the elevation is 800 fee' above sea level, the hill south of Emporium is 2000 feet, this being the highest point in the county. The mean an nual temperature of Cameron county, is about 4H degrees." Dr. Ftss gave an interesting talk on "Thomas Jefferson the Representative of Liberty." "There is no man in America who represents the sense of liberty more than Thomas Jetrerson . •ielferson was favorable towards France, hut prejudiced against England. England wanted Louisiana. JeffVrson, in order to protect United States from England, and keep our western border free, purchased Louisiana from France." "Jefferson had no sense of humor, and I pity the teacher or any one in authority who does not possess any sense of humor." Institute adjourned until 1:30. WEDNESDAY, 1:30 P. M. institute was called to order by the President .uiss Mattie Collins. Music. Roll cail. Mr. W. H. Schoff, of Philadelphia, told us how a commercial museum could be secured for the use of the schools. The only condition is that a suitable case be made in which to place the exhibits. Dr. S. E. Schmucker gave an interesting talk ! on"The Life of a Tree,"' After a short interiulsion a piano solo was rend ered by M Iss Ida Seger. Prof. Sweeny, Superintendent of Elk county spoke a few words of congratulation to the teachers, on our good Institutes. Dr. S. D. Fess then gave a talk on Alexander Hamilton, the Representative of Power." Institute adjourned until 9:00 the next morn ing. THURSDAR. 9:00 A. M. The Institute was called to order bv the Presi dent Miss Mattie Collius. The Devotional ex ercises were conducted by Rev. Allen. Music. Roll call. Dr. S. E. Schmucker talked on"The Biology of the County." He said, "The county is In, what is know as the transitional zone. Consequently some of our animals as the porcupine belong to the cold er zone, and others as the possum belong to a warmer region. Our pines and hemlocks belong i to a colder region, while the chestnuts and oaks to a warmer region. Dr. Fess next spoke on "Some Elements of History iu Literature." By studying some poems, or a selection of prose, the history of the people can be learned. Their manners, customs and traits of character can be more easily seen than in any other way. Dr. Fess took lor example, "The Cotter's Saturday night" by Burns. He brought out plainly the life and home of a humble Scotchman, a?; Burns wished it to be known. Institute was adjourned until 1:30. THURSDEY, 1:30 P. M. Institute was called to order by the President Miss Mattie Collins. Music. Roll call. Dr. S. E. Schmucker was introduced to the directors of the county. He said that Pennsyl vania did not have as well regulated school sys tem as some of the other states. Because of the fact that so many different nationalities settled here. Each with their own ideas about educa tion. Before a bettej system, or in fact any sys tem could be organized, the ideas of the people had to be changed. Hence are school system is of only receut origin. We are rapidly gaining ground, and it rests with the directors of each county to perfect the system. "One way to help this work along in your own county is to secure the best available teachers. Now you are compelled to pay lorty dollars for a teacher, see that you get a forty dollar teacher. When you are selecting a teacher ask, "what baa she done to fit herself for this position?" If she has done nothing, turn her aside for one that has donesomething. Then when you have a good teacher, keep her. She is worth much more to you and to your community than the money you are paying her. She will inspire your boys and girls to live for something more than self. She willlgive them a taste for higher education. She will teach them a love for home and their 4urroundings.,' "We must raise up men of strength and spirit fit to grapple with the new problems of life. Consequently we must have our boys and girls under gi.od noble teachers, Select the noblest manor woman you can get and then keep them." Prof. Lynch, of St. Marys, waR introduced. He spoke of the daily preparation on the part of the teacher as the means of holding the attention of the class.

She was the best representative of fashionable society in America." He spoke ol her good qualties anil iu closing, gave as parting words, a quotation from Horace Mann, "Be ashamed to die until you have achie'ved some victory for humanity."

The Castle Garden Church. EDITOR PRESS:—AS there has not been anything in your paper for some time about the Castle Garden Church, we would like to say that we are pro gressing slowly but surely. God's mills grind slowly but sure. The church walls are up, sleeepers and all the material is on the ground for the roof and it will be put 011 in a short time. God is opening hearts and money is coming from near and far. We will quote from a few private let ters: "We are glad you are building a church at Castle Garden and I enclose you my check for $25 to help you along. I remain yours very respect fully, J. VV. Cochran." Another from Houghton: "I have just received $21.00 for your church which I hasten to send. "The only way is to keep everlastingly at it and not get discour aged." "I am sure you will see the Castle Garden Church go up. Push it along. Hiram C. H. Dow." "Your rafter timber is ready. Barclay Bros." This is a gift and is worth $117.00. This is only a very few of the many letters we have received and surely we have great reason to be thankful to our Heavenly Father and to all who have in any way heiped us. To those who have subscribed and have not yet paid we would ask them to send it at once. We would be very thankful. The money is needed just now to put on the roof. This is God's work and we are only the workers. Give and it shall be given you—pressed down and shaken together. We have faith that the work will be done, for by faith the walls of Jerico fell down, and by faith the Castle Garden Church will go up. Faithfully at His work. JOHN M. ENGLISH.

David Belaseo's, "The Girl of the Golden West." One of the beauties of a Belasco pro duction is* the sklful way in which he manufactures atmosphere and re tainp it. In the average production, where the time represented is any thing but the present, the atmosphere, such as it is, remains always on the stage, the audience realizing through out that it is watching a play. Mr. BeJasco's efforts have been directed to taking the audience along with the players into the atmosphere represent ed upon the stage and by various means he has succeeded in doing this so that those watching a Belasco pre sentation foruet that it is only as spect ators on the other side of the foot lights, and actually live with the char acters of the play. In the case of"The Girl of the Gold en West," which comes to the Empori um Opera House, on Thursday even ing, Nov. 14th, Mr. Belasco has used a device for transporting his audience to the scene of the play that is at one® extremely simple and admirably clever.
