PROCEEDINGS OP THE HUNTINGDON
COUNTY TEACHERS' INSTITUTE—MON
DAY DEC. 26, 1870.—Pursuant to pub
lic notice, the Convention assembled in the
Court House, at Huntingdon, at 2 o'clock, P.
M., and was called to order by the County Su
perintendent. The exercises were opened by
reading a portion of scripture and prayer by
Rev. J. W. Plannett. Superintendent Tuasey
addressed the Convention substantially as fol
lows:
Fellow Teachers—We have again met for
the purpose of mutual improvement. If there
is any class of persons whose duties, more
than that of any other, require that they
should make the most vigorous and persistent
efforts to improve their minds and widen their
sphere of usefulness, it is that to him is en
trusted the education of the young; those
whose tender and plastic minds are so suscep
tible of either good or evil influences. It is
not usual for young persons, who have but a
very superficial knowledge of the most Com
mon branches, to be highly offended if permis
sion be not granted them to enter upon a work
which the most virtuous:and intelligent may
well tremble to undertake ; the training of
that priceless treasure, the human mind. It is
a most lamentable thought, that so many per
sons are eager to engage in the business of
teaching, who have no adequate conception
of the solemn responsibilities resting upon the
teacher, and whose aspirations rise no higher
than to secure a paltry sum of money for their
service. A young lady at the close of one of
our County Institutes, remarked that she felt
like going home and never attempting to teach
again. '"I always knew," said she, "that I was
not as well qualified as I should be, but I never
before felt so entirely unfit for the work of a
teacher." Now, permit me to say, this lady
possessed something of the true spirit. It is
not the teacher who imagivee that he knows
all that is necessary for him to know, who is
most likely to learn anything more. Such a
person will not condescend to read works upon
teaching, take an educational journal, or at
tend a county or district institute, because for
sooth he values his own contracted ideas
higher than those of the most experienced and
successful teachers.
J. It. Baker, A. H. Kauffman and M. R.
Evans were appointed Secretaries. The teach
ers present now came forward and enrolled
their names. Messrs. M'Kibbin, Black, Atkin
son, Giles and Piper, wero elected a committee
on permanent certificates. D. M. Giles offered
the following, which were, after some debate,
adopted:
Resolved, That the members of the Institute,
who open discussions, be limited to twenty
minutes, and those who follow to fiftcon min
utes.
Resolved, That no speaker shall be allowed
to speak twice on the same subject until all
Adjourned.
NVININO MISSION, 1310. 26th.
The exercises of the Institus were opened
with martial and vocal music by the Cassville
Soldiers' Orphan School. The question,
"Should physical culture be made one of the
branches of study in our common schools?"
was discussed in a spirited manner by the In
stitute. J. R. Baker, regarded the subject as
too much neglected in our common shools.
The work of education should develope the
whole man. J. F. Schock followed in the
negative. He regarded our schools as already
too much crowded with studies. Rev. A. L.
Gins contended that our bodies are construct
ed and governed by fixed and immutable laws;
that these cannot be violated with impunity
and believed, that if they were properly un
derstood and observed, it would add twenty
years to the average of human life. J. H.
Michener thought physical culture might be
highly advantageous in the country on ac
count of the shortness of the term, and be
cause pupils are generally required to take
considerable exercise at home. A. H. Weid
man thought it inexpedient, under existing
circumstances, to make it a regular study of the
school, but favored the most vigilant and care
ful correction of all improper positions and
bodily habits of the pupil. Messrs. Fisher,
County Superinter dent of Bedford county ,
Henderson, Weir, Kauffman, and others follow
ed with remarks mostly in the affirmative.
Music—" Pledge Song," by the Cassville Or
phan School. A discussion—subject, "How
can good manners be best taught in our com
mon Schools ?" was opened by Prof. Guss.
In the first place the teacher must be a living
example of good manners. Secondly, he
would teach it by precept and by carefully cor
recting the ill manners of the pupils. J. 11.
Michener followed with a few remarks on the
same subject.
A song, entitled the "Grecian Bend," was
sung by one of the pupils of the Cassville Or
phan School, and elicited great applause.
Adjourned
110IINDI6 018810 N, DEC. 27th.
Devotional exercises conducted by D. F.
Tussey and J. P. Giles. R. S. Henderson,
who had been appointed to conduct the spel
ling exercises, stated that three hundred words
had been carefully selected for the purpose,
and that not only teachers, but all who desired
to do so, were cordially invited to engage in
the contest, and compete for the prizes. He
then dictated one hundred words which were
written by most of the teachers and some
others present. Music by the Orphans.
Prof. Shoemaker, of Philadelphia, was in
troduced and presented the subject of Elocu
tion and Reading. The lecturer eloquently
and forcibly urged the importance of the sub
ject. He did not desire to have teachers re
gard the subject extremely difficult. The
practise so common in our primary schools,
of confounding the mere pronunciation of
words with reading, productive of great evil.
The cultivation of proper and natural tones of
the voice in the conversation of pupils one of the
first duties of the teacher. No pupil should
be permitted to attempt the reading of any
piece of composition which he is incapable of
understanding and appreciating. A piece of
vocal music, •'The Lord is our King," by the
Orphan School. The roll was called 941 those
who had come in during the mornings ere en
rolled, after which the Institute
Adjogrned.
AFTERNOON SESSION, DEC. 27th.!
The subject of Geography was ably present
ed by E. 11. White, who spoke briefly in rela
tion to the importance of the study, and the
best methods of teaching it. He favored the
topic method for advanced classes, and regard
ed Scriptural Geography as of far more im
portance than is generally accored to it. J .
F. Schock considered it important to teach
the derivation and signification of Geographi
cal terms. J. 11. Michener would commence
at home with primary classes. Prof. J. A.
Stephens would give prominence to latitude
and longitude, and would interest and instruct
the pupil with mathematical problems, involv
ing a knowledge of these subjects. 11. M'-
Kibbin, Prof. Atkinson and others made re
marks on the same subject. A piece of mu
sic, "The Old Mountain Tree," was sung by
the Orphan School. Prof. Shoemaker resum
ed the subject of Elocution, instructing the
Convention in regard to the manner of getting
pupils to take a proper position for reading
and speaking, and presenting a logical analy
sis of the subject by illustrations on the black
board. The Superintendent announced eve
ning exercises and the Institute
Adjourned.
EVENING SESSION, DEC. 27th.
The exercises of the Institute were opened
with vocal and instrumental music. An able
and elaborate essay, "Ithetories and Belles let
ters" was read by Miss M'Grim. The Institute
was very agreeably entertained with delight
ful music by the pupils of the Huntingdon
Public Schools, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. E'
J. Greene. Prof. J. W. Shoemaker, read in
his own inimitable style the following selec
tions, viz: "No God," "Katydid," "The Va
gabond" and "Darius Green and his Flying
Machine." These readings were greeted with
frequent outbursts of laughter, and great ap
plause by the large audience assembled. Mu
sic.
The question, , Should Singing be one of
the regular branches taught in our Common
Schools?" was read for discussion. A. H.
Weidman ably and eloquently advocated the
affirmative. The vocal organs are developed
by their exercise and should be trained in
early youth. Singing promotes cheerfulness
and happiness, expands the chest and is con
ducide to physical health. It is entertaining,
attractive, refining and elevating. J. P. Giles
was not opposed to music but did not deem it
advisable to make it a common school study
on account of the multiplicity of branches;
because not all teachers could learn to sing.
Prof. Atkinson regarded the science as easy
of acquisition as any other and strongly favor
ed its introduction. H. W. Fisher, Superin
tendent of Bedford County, favored singing
because it cultivates the human voice, facili
tates the acquisition of the art of reading, and
also for its refining influences. Tho subject
was further discussed with spirit and interest
by Messrs. Brown, Wier, Greene, Baker,
Michener and Guss.
MORNING SESSION, DEC. 28th.
Institute opened with music. Devotional
exercise conducted by A. 11. Weidman. The
question—"are our courses of study, and
methods of instruction sufficiently practical ?"
was ably discussed by Prof. J. A. Stephens,
who urged upon the Institute the importance
of thoroughness. He regarded the practice
of crowding the pupil with too many studies
an evil. D. M. Giles followed, dwelling chiefly
upon the importance of orthography, reading
and arithmetic. Prof. Jos. Waugh, of Holli
daysburg regarded graminar and the principles
of morality, as among the most practical sub
jects that can engage the teacher's attention.
J. R. Baker would regard a radical reforma
tion, the adoption of a system of Phonetic
characters for our language to supercede the
one in vogue ; H. W. Fisher thought the na
tive talent of every pupil should be specially
developed even at the expense of some loss
of knowledge for which he has less taste and
talent. Prof. Shoemaker would regard it the
duty of the teacher to study the mental charac
ter of the pupil, and endeavor to make the
best of him. Labor, spent in the direction of
genius, will produce the grandest results. W.
R. Baker and others followed on the same
subject. J. 11. Black favored the Institute
with a brief and practical lecture, on Map
Drawing by angulation illustrating his method
of instruction upon the blackboard. Re
marks on the same subject by Prof. Waugh,
D. M. Giles, Rev. Mr. Brown, rroy. Autumn;
and others followed. Prof. Shoemaker occu
pied the remaining part of the morning ses
sion with instructions upon the elementary
principles of elocution.
AFTERNOON SESSION, DEC. 28th.
It. S. Henderson conducted an exercise in
spelling, W. S. McPherran favored the Insti
tute with a practical exposition of Penman
ship H. L. Atkinson introduced the subject
of English Grammar, presenting a logical ana
lysis of the subject by means of the black
board. Prof. Shoemaker followed with a lecture
and drill in reading. Pupils should be able to
pronounce every word of a sentence quite
readily before they are permitted the attempt
to read it. In advanced teaching learners
should be familiarized with the character of
the author, and the circumstances which in
spired the sentiments intended to be expressed.
EVENING SESSION, DEC. 28th.
Exerzises opened with music by the Cass
vile Orphan School. Prof. A. L. Guss road
a very able and instructive essay, subject
"Self Discipline the True end of Intellectual
Exertion." Music by the pupils of the Hunt
ingdon schools and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Greene.
Prof. Shoemaker then read a number of selec
tions both grave and humorous. "Twenty
third Psalm;' "Over the River," "The Gam
bler's Wife," An extract of "Cassius against
Caesar," by Shakespeare, "Sam Weller's Val
entine," "Will the New Year come To-night.''
"The Kiss in School," "Scott and the Vete
ran," "The Beef Contract" by Mark Twain,
and "The Ghost." These readings elicited fre
quent outbursts of merriment and applause,
and were interspersed with most delightful
music by the Cassville Orphan School, and
some of the pupils of the Public Schools of
Huntingdon, to whom the Institue is greatly
indebted for the very agreeable entertainment
of the evening.
MORNING SESSION, DEC. 29th.
Devotional exercises by Prof. Buss. Spel
ling exercise by It. S. Henderson. Music.
"A Motto for Every Man." The outlines of
united States History were presented by J. 11.
Michener, and his method of teaching illus
trated by means of the blackboard. He would
not strictly follow the order of any text book
in this study. but would place an outline of
the subject assigned upon the blackboard, to
be copied by the pupil as a guide to study and
give prominence to the leading events of His
tory. B. Brown thought it important for the
teacher to interest and instruct the pupil by
illustrating facts and events of History by re
lating appropriate anecdotes.
The subject was further discussed, D. M.
Giles, E. Baker, M'Carthy, Bev. Mr. Ziegler,
D. D., and others participating. Music,i'rof.
Shoemaker concluded the morning exercises
with instruction upon Reading and the Ele
mentary sounds of the language illustrating
his method of teaching the latter to young
pupils upon the blackboard.
AFTERNOON SESSION, DEC. 29th
This being Directors' day the question :—"Can
graded Schools be established, in rural dis
tricts to a good advantage T' was read for dis
cussion. Superintendent Tussey said be had
recommended graded schools from the time
he first entered upon the duties of his office
and his views hail not changed. A number of
young teachers (natives of Huntingdon county)
are graduates of Normal Schools, and all but
two have left the county for want of remuner
ative positions at home. David Hare, Esq.,
(Director) of Porter, regarded graded schools
in the rural districts the cheapest and best
means affording all an opportunity to obtain
the elements of a liberal education and thought
such could be advantageously established.
Prof. Atkinson spoke at some length upon the
advantages of graded schools and the evils of
crowding together pupils of great diversity of
attainments. Theo. 11. Cremer, Esq., (Direc
tor) and others spoke in favor of the affirmtive
of this question. Discussion, “What motives
and incentives to study ought to appealed to ?"
Opened by A. H. Kauffman, he would endeavor
to gain the confidence and effection of the
pupil, and carefully adapt the subject matter
of teaching to his intellectual capacity so as
to make the acquisition of knowledge a pleas
ure. The approbation of teacher, parents and
friends proper, and if judiciously applied fre
quently effectual incentives.
Rev. Mr. Ziegler, D. D., of Selinsgrove re
garded the favor of God as the highest motive
but under existing circumstances inapplicable
to many young pupils. A good conscience to
be appreciated, also requires a high degree
of moral culture. Pupils should not be
taught facts alone, but also the great princi
ples upon which they are based. The discus
sion of this subject was continued with much
interest and instruction. M. C. Piper, D. M.
Giles, 11. 11. M'Kibbin, W. S. M'Pherran,
Prof. Guss, 11. L. Atkinson, E. S. McCarthy,
D. H. Schultz, Mr. Dunn, M. Zentmyre, Esq.,
It. C. Wier, David Blair, Esq., H. F. Brown
and Ilonnali participating. "What disposition
should A teacher make of his time out of
school hours?" Discussion opened by J. IL
Michener by presenting and analysis of twenty
four hours upon the blackboard and showing
that five hours remained after deducting those
spent in actual school duties, sleep, &e., even
after allowing three hours for preparing les
sons. These five hours the speaker contended
should be spent in physical, mental, and moral
self culture, that the teacher should be well
posted in regard to the news of the day, and,
that if all the leisure moments of teachers
were properly improved the charge of incom
petency would soon he removed. H. W.
Fisher, divided teachers into classes; the dead
and the alive. Those who make a proper dis
position of their time rise in the avocation,
while those who do not, retrograde. Remarks
on the same subject by Messrs. Henderson,
M'Kibbin and others.
EVENING SESSION, DEC. 29th.
Institute opened with vocal and instrumen
tal music. A well-written and instructive es
say, subject :—"Management of Children" was
read by Dr. W. H. Flenner. Music.—Recita
tion :—"A Leap for Life" by one of the fe
male pupils of the Cassville Orphan School.
The admirable manner of this performance
was greeted with great applause. Prof. Shoe
maker delivered a lecture, subject: "How to
Say Things," which elicited frequent rounds
of applause and great merriment. The deliv
ery of this lecture was admirable, and the sub
ject matter replete with instruction, as well as
entertainment. Prof. Guss, in behalf of the
institute, briefly addressed Superintendent
Tussey, presenting him with a handsome copy
of the "Holy Bible," which had been procur
ed for the purpose and occasion. As it was a
complete surprise, the Superintendent merely
arose, and expressed his gratitude for this
token of esteem. Music. Prof. Shhoemaker
then congratulated the teachers on the suc
cess of the Convention and hoping all present
would persevere in the great work of educa
tion. R. M'Divitt addressed the Institute in
behalf of the pupils of the Cassville Orphan
School; adverting briefly but eloquently and
feelingly to the great cause for which their
fathers had offered their lives, and the circum
stances surrounding these orphaned ones;
their joys and sorrows ; their noble bearing
and deportment during the sessions of the
Institute; and the great pleasure and enter
tainment their sweet voices had daily added
to its exercises ; concluding by offering a Res
olution (not handed to the Secretaries) ten
dering them the thanks of the Institute, which
was unanimously adopted with an ayo that
left no room to doubt that the groat heart of
the Convention had been touched.
Several pieces of music were sung with
great effect, both Orphan School and pupils
of the Huntingdon schools participating.
MORNING SESSIONS, DEC. 30th.
Devotional exercises, conducted by Super
intendent Tussey. Vocal music. Prof. Ste
phens instructed the Institute upon the sub
ject of Practical Arithmetic, urging upon
teachers that importance of presenting the
subject to pupils in such a way to develop
thought. He would teach but one method of
treating Circulating Decimals which was illus
trated upon the blackboard. After a - further dis
cussion ou the subject in which several par
ticipated, Prof. Stephens, 11. MlCibben, and
H. L. Atkinson gave some instructions on the
subject of Mensuration. Discussion—" What
are the prominent causes of failure in teach
ing ?" W. R. Baker regards I the cause as
arising partially from Directors, patrons and
teachers. 111-constructed, ill-arranged and
uncomfortable school houses are frequently
great obstacles in the way of success. Patrons
sometimes fail to furnish pupils with the ne
cessary books, &c., and withhold the requisite
support. Teachers frequently fail in govern
ing the school properly. The mental charac
teristics greatly diversified, and hence the sub
ject of school government invested with great
difficulty. J. S. Mitchel regarded the practice
of teachers entering the calling withaut due
preparation and interest a promident cause
of failure. Prof. Stephens made some forci
ble and well-timed remarks upon this sub
ject, contending that the teacher should real
ize that he is moulding the immortal mind,
and that the want of a proper appreciation of
the work before him is frequently conducive of
failure. Prof. Atkinson regarded it unfortu
nate for teachers that they must be like other
men. No man can live by teaching four
months in the year at a low salary, and hence
has to neglect the pursuit of knowledge to a
great extent. The subject was further dis
cussed by D. M. Giles, W. S. M'Pherran, Black
and others. H. M'Kibben instructed the con
vention upon the subject of Algebra, explain
ing the elements of that science. Prof. Ste
phens recommended the subject to be intro
duced to every young pupil. Ho would com
mence with easy practical examples, illustrat
ing his method upon the black-board. A
motion to have an afternoon session of two
hours was carried. The first prize in the
,spelling contest, consisting of a copy of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionary was awarded to
G. S. Rea, now a student of Penna. College.
Mr. Rea being absent on account of indisposi
tion, Prof. Stephens received the prize for
him in an appropriate speech adverting to the
energy, perseverence, and other noble traits
of character of the youthful victor. D. M.
Giles offered the following, which was on mo
tion, adopted, viz : "That the Secretaries be
requested to furnish a copy of the proceed
ings of this Institute to each of the newspa
pers published in Hunlingdon for publication.
AFTERNOON SESSION, DEC. 30th
Discussion, Subject :—"Does the pecuniary
prosperity of a nation depend on its intelli
gence 7" Opened by J. P. Giles in the affirm
ative, proving from history that all wealth is
the product of intelligence. J. 11. Michener
thought the prosperity of a nation does em
phatically depend upon the intelligence of the
masses,. Subject further discussed by I. J.
Atkinson, J. M. Miller, and others. "Are pub
lic school examinations desirable 2" Discus
sion opened by J. R. Baker, who contended
that much time is wasted in preparing for ex
hibitions, and that their tendency is immoral;
that examinations are not beneficial to pat
rons, and that they beget emulations among
pupils. J. 11. Michener regarded the tendency'
of exhibitions as not necessarily immoral,
that they embolden the pupils to appear in
public and cultivate the memory, and that
examinations inspire the teacher with energy.

of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks
and tobacco, and so far as practicable pledge
ourselves to these principles. Superintendent
Tussey congratulated the teachers in atten
dance on the success of the Institute, but re
gretted that so few of the Directors had been
in attendance, He urged upon teachers the
importance of self improvement, and hoped
all present would attend future meetings of
the kind, even if Directors refused to grant
the time. This was followed by music, lifter
which the Institute adjourned sine die.

bers present :
Chief Burgess, Mr. Elliott.
Met. Burgesses, Messrs. Africa and Murray.

Williamson.
The minutes of the last stated meeting were
read and approved.
Mr. Africa from committee On Fire Engine,
reported that they had not carried out the
instructions of the Council relative to the
purchase of a F•re Engine, for the reason that

the report was accepted and the committee
discharged.
The special committee to which had been
referred the petition of citizens, of the

No ConuT.—According to a decision of
the Court, made on Monday last, the array
of Jurors for the present term was quashed,
and the holding of Court, of course, dis
pensed with.
The motion to quash the array of Jurors,
was made by Mr. Speer, immediately after
the calling of the Grand Jury, on the
ground of informality in the selection of
the Jurors, on the part of the Jury Com
missioners. and after hearing some evidence
on the subject, the principal of which was
that. of Messrs. Chancy and Vandevander,
Jury Commissioners, his Honor Judge
Taylor was compelled to sustain the motion,
and dismiss the Jurors in attendance. The
evidence as to the manner of selecting the
Jurors, disclosed a number of informalities,
either of which would be sufficient to sus
tain such objection. when made by counsel
in behalf of parties having suits at issue.
The Court, in reviewing the evidence,
and referring to a number of defects in the
present system of electing Jurors, which
need to be removed, remarked, that while
regretting exceedingly the necessity for the
action, they were compelled to take in the
case, and assuming that the Jury Commis
sioners had acted with the utmost integrity,
and in the manner that they felt to be
their duty, nothing having been done by
them that was intentionally wrong, still
there were irregularities at almost every
step of the proceedings which demanded
action. The manner and order in which
the names of the Jury were drawn from
the wheel ; the leaving of the wheel in the
hands of another party, unsealed, were
conclusive, and over and above all this, the
work was done without the oath required
by law having been taken, and it would be
idle to prosecute the investigation any
further—a mere waste of time. Tho de
cree was therefore made setting aside the
present list of Jurors and continuing all
the cases, civil and criminal, till the Court,
in April next, the earliest time at which
any of them can now be reached, trusting •
that by that time provision may be made
to fill the wheel again, as was done before
on a similar occasion, and that a general
, law may be passed providing for every
emergency of this kind.
This circumstance, occuring as it does,
at a time when our Court is crowded with
civil and criminal cases awaiting trial, is
much to be regretted.
TnE BEDFORD AND BRIDGEPORT
RAILROAD CoNTuovEusr.—This matter
came up for argument in the Supreme
Court, at Philadelphia on Tueseday of
last week, and was postponed until Friday,
When the argument was heard, and on
Saturday a temporary injunction was is
sued, enjoining the stockholders, at their
meeting on Monday last, against doing
anything in relation to the action hereto
fore taken by the board of directors on
the subject of the lease proposed to be
made to the Pittsburgh and Connellsville
Railroad Company, until the motion in
this case argued shall have been decided
or until further orders. This would indi
cate that the Court will sustain the
lease and hold the Wood, Morrell & Co.
subscription to be a valid subscription.
This is all, and in fact more than the Bed
ford people bad a right to expect, and
much better than the stupidity of a large
number deserves. We have seen some un
grateful and inconsistent people, but for a
set of down-right STUPIDS, those, that
played in the hands and become
the dupes of the opponents of the
best interests of the community in which
they live, occupy an unenviable position.
The President, we suppose, who exhausted
all his best "tricks" to wrong the people
of Bedford, will now satisfy them that he
was their best friend, and then will, no
doubt, proceed to bush the road to comple
tion rapidly, and when this is done the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville Company
will take charge of the road from Bedford
to Bridgeport and run it, while the re
mainder, seven and three-fourths miles,
will be run independently or in conjunc
tion with the Broad Top or a rival road.
So Bedford will have what she has con
tended for--COMPETING LINES. We pre
sume that the men who have made this
successful fight for Bedford and ad
ministered this Waterloo defeat to her
worst enemies can now, as usual in Bed
ford county, occupy back seats.
COUNTY CommITTEE—The Republican
County Committee met in the Court
House, on Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, p. m.

tive Conferees, to meet the Conferees of
