THE road from Port Allegany up the
river to the County line is said to le in
an execrable condition. It is a shame
that the authorities of Liberty town
ship hare allowed the road to ft into
the condition that it is. A little IHIKU
during the good weather of the summer
would have made it good, and cveu now
if some of the holes were filled up, it
would improve it v..stly. It is very kid

THURSDAY, A.M., after recess, J —Mr.
J"iif#: A teacher shmild IK- sui>erior io
liis wnik. Toe physicnui consults his
l>okN but conforms to his judgment.
Father llassetas said, "A teacher should
laliortomake himself usiless:" lie should
so teach that the student will use all his
faculties.
firodiiuj the T'TI. —The tesreher should
make nearly all his examples in arith
metie. The text lKMiks ai"e baillv ar
ranged. For example : short division
i-omes Vn'fore long division. It is not a
'■asy matter for the little child, just IK
ginning to divide a l-mg row of tiguri-s
hy nine of twelve. It is much easier to
work the whole thing out x>that he can
x-e the process. It is often as easy to
divide by ti r*i figures as one if they are
well fin'S n. ll4f>.lis easily divided
by I_3. Tia 1 little child's mind readily
follows the process. The examples
si on hi U- made rt little more didicut dy
aftei day. and an interest will U awak
t-neil -o tliat t!ie learner will r.evi r stop
but will go tver onward. As most of
our busim ssconcems decimals, Prof. J.
prO|xed that the teachers sh Id begin
at units and write the table of decimal
not at ion. lle found a deficiency in t h,t
direction a?>d advised further practice.
Itu'f. Every decimal, whether spoken
or wiitten, ends wit}) "th" or "t..5,"
Mr. Carry next t.x.k the stand. Ques
tion: "Is it better to talk finely and
fluently or to advance ideas?" Mr.
Curry pro}*.sed to advance the ideas.
Text-books are not the objects of our
study. The true teacher wants to be
seen as little .is possible; lie is not will
ing to subtend too large an angle in their
vision; be wants tin in t<> see the trail).
Me have only two original sources of
truth: ti.e B ok of Xature and the Book
of RfVelatiou.
I'he hrsl is full <if object lessons. We

Mr. Jones'story of the "Howling Wil

fit shed by tiie entertainment and bet
ter prepared for the severe drill o. the
following day.
FRIDAY, a. in. —Session opened
with prayer by Rev. Mr. Vanvraden
burg of Lew isville.
Prof. Jones called for an answer to
his problem in Interest: the worth of
half a cent for one year and one day at
six iter cent, lie only ltojel to awaken
a little enthusiasm in the study of Uhsl-
N'>s. The majority of examples have
no ring of business in them. An illus
tration of ignorance in the commonest
tilings was furnished by a lady woo wish
ed to purchase stove-pi}*- and found her
self in ii dilemma as To what size to
i li.Kise. Xot know ing that tiie areas of
circles are as the squares of tneir diam
eters. she took the wrong pipe. An ex
ample involving the relative areas of
circles was then introduced.
Mrs. Martin exercised her class in
" Vocal <gymnastics." in which they
showed marked progress -ince the !e
--giuniiig and es]ieeially since last year.
Half-past ten found Mipt. Curry tho
roughly in earnest on the subject of
En'jlteh dn'tuoiur.
Many different view sap- entertained
with reference to the pro;*>r time and
phi.- for this important stir"v. Differ
ent ideas us to tic nature ot this study
underlie these views.
Little children <get i correct and ele
gant ii>c of i.ingu. ge linougi imitation
if surrounded by those wlio use it well.
They may have no science i.i connection
with it. There :s a distinction b -tw.-en
tis? and sci. nee. The correet use is to
le taught \"i v . arly. before there is a
sufficient hi:o\<. Ii d_jf <.f ,it'iiT s dea •>
to enable one to grasp its higlier lessons.
Through a ]>er verted use of language in
childho hl. many a man has been unable
to employ it w. U after its scient i.'i-.: prin
ciples were tin-roughly understood. The
use of it should i<* correct and elegant,
even in the pr nia y schools. Teachers
should train themv Ives to an easy and
ovulate expression of thought, and by
vigilance make it the every-day styie of
the school-room.
Mr. Curry. in ;i clear and simple way.
1 ti'i o the four scientific divisions of
Grammar:
On vt. '• I literally means "to w. lie
correctly." but it has come to be applied
to tiie construction of words. The
highest product of this department of
Grammar is the primitive word, both
c*>keii and w itten.

A Iter this the Institute adjourned till

Afternoon.—Mr. Allen offered the

. • even tlioiigh tl-ey were not then
npared: they could remit the money
:o him aftei waid. Supt. Curry argued
at every teacher should read at least
•:ie -CI.IM>I y iuru.il, and if but one. the
- ''• (.</u SI-IK/A Journal is surely to
•' preferred.
Mr Jones gave si me general instruc
"ii- in letter-writing, notes, bills, re
•• ipts and orders. He said there is
much in the manner of doing business;
. letter is quite a test of character
IIIII aig business men.
Prof. Curry s'.mke again of Social
K'r ■iiti- n; it is 1 ecissary to fit one for
ipicial work, no matter what the gene
raldueut ion may be. The tailoi must
nake special effort to understand lira
liusintss; the lawyer must know much
more of His profession than a general
•ulttire can give.
(Mr. Curry was here interrupted by
whispering and he took occasion to say
that in Lis years ot teaching lie had not
lieon accustomed to a whisper or even a
communication from pupils in study
I iours.)
Then, resuming His subject, he said
that every teacher should buy some
work on Physiology and study it. since
the good teacher is to educate the body.
He should study the science of mind;
that intellect lias its own laws, its own
principles and its own natural order of
ievelopment, as well as the body; nor
should moral science be neglected.
True education seeks a true develop
ment of the whole human nature. The
teacher therefore will lie but initially
prepand for his groat work without a
knowledge of physiology and of intel
l< dual a d moral philosophy.
After recess. Prof. .Tones (who was to
leave in the evening', in a little parting
talk to the teachers, sjnike of the im
ixirtance of doing one's best. A care,
less, slovenly manner will never lx* es
te> med. To be a good, earnest, honest
teacher, one should t>e as nearly perfect
in character as jxvssible. He (Mr. J.;
got thousands of faults from his teach
ers; habits of putting off", of dejx'iul
enee and of inefficient action. There
is a cry for l>ettor men and women even
in our day; thus" belter able t" fulfil
fiuy trust; all high positions are gained
hv crawling; rrren of genius and women
of genius go slowly anil steadily; ttoy
Ciiiiuot fly or leap into place or power;
yet tLe place will oe found for tbeui if
t!iey can afford to labor and to wait.
lie had high aspirations for toe teach
ers of Polio county. His purling ud
v ice uas touching and fraternal, full of
tie pathos that goes from one human
in art direct to other hearts, lie re
ferred to the picture taken in Coaders
port last year, in which he and the
teachers "were male one." and spoke
