The forty-first annual Institute of Cameron
County assembled in the Court House at 1:30 on

tute was called to order by the President Miss
MatlieCollins, after which Dr. G. H. Johnson
conducted the devotional exercises.
Music.
Prof. 11. F. 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.

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

Intermission often minntes.

Miss Mattie Collins.
Music.

Prof. H. F. 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

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.

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

of the most famous orators that ever spoke con
cerning liberty in America."

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.

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.

society in America." He spoke ol her good

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.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wil

The death of this bright little child is a
great affliction to the fond parents.

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.
