TEAVRERS' INSUITUTE. Three Hundred and Fifteen Instructors Acting Poplls This Week at Belirfonte —Excellont ¥peakers on Program. The sixty-eighth apnual teschers’ institute, which will close on Christ- mas, at Bellefonte, is being attended by every school teacher in the county with the exception of two whose ab- gence is due to sickness. Three hun- dred and fifteen teachers are playing the part of the pupil and being in- structed by a corps of able institute workers, The institute was called to order on Monday morning byBuperintendent D, 0. Etters. After a few words of kind- ly welcome, the formal work of the in- stitute was started by the introduction of Dr. C. P. Colgrove, of Iowa Biate Teachers’ College, as the first speaker Dr. Colgrove reminded the teachers that, as in the business world we de- gire to get as great a return as possible on our investment, go in the intellect. ual marts we shou'd get as much as possible for ourselves, He said that each teacher would carry away from this institute about as much as he de- pired to carry away and asked: “ How much will you carry away in your basket ? 7 Dr. Colgrove enumerated teachers bv classes, calling one the unprepared or ignorant class ; another, the eilly class ; cruel, kind, energetic and cul. tured classes, He emphasizad the fact that the real teacher has character back of his scholarship and that it is his heart, mind, spirit and conscience which create the impressions that last, Dr. Colgrove is a forceful and interest. ing instructor and your correspondent remembers with plessure the reading of his pedagogical work, * The Teach- er aud the School.” The rext instructor, who spoke dur- ing the remainder of the forenoon and the first part of the sfternoon, w ¢ Superintendent 8. R. Shear, of Pough- keepsie, New York. He spoke from the standpoint of a practical, progres- give and energetic ichool man, who for many years has been fighting for better things for school children sand school teachers. He said that children are entitled to be well educated and that country children should have just ss good an opportunity as city chil dren. Buildings must be decent and represent the best the community cap afford, People who are not willing to furpish properly equipped buildings and desirable surrcundiogs are not conscious of their responsibilities. Teachers are entitled to respect and support. No principal or superintend- ent can do Lis best work in such ca- pacity if he has his bands tied and bie mouth gagged. He must be free to formulate and earry out a roliey. Dr. Colgrove was the last speaker of the day. His sul ject was ** Efflclen- ¢y in School Work ” For the evening, Glenn Frank lec- tured on the subject, * Lost in the Crowd,’”’ a typical picture of life in a democracy. Mr. Frank is, wi bout doubt, one of the most foreeful speak- ers on the American rostrum today. His plea is for clear, intense and inde- pend:nt thinking on every public question by every citizen of a democ- racy. The individual must not permit himself to think ss the couvention or plstform dictates, but broaden Lis ho- rizon., When public, conscience ie sroused and a man’s business morals must be as clean as his private morale, then and then only will social justice be possible, Time prevents a further analysis of this lecture, but it could not fail to have maden deep snd lasting impression on every thoughtful hearer, Le ————— A — tp A Spring Mills.
