If tho times hiuko such nil urgent
demand for a knowietlgo of drawing,
in oven the most ordinary callings of!
life, how is the teacher to iret olomr
successfully without some knowledge!
of it? He needs it in every brunch
he teaches. Children reeeivo knowl-
edgo much more readily through their
perceptive and obsorving faculties than
in any other way ; thoy may listen at
tentively to ull that their teachers may
say, and yot not hnvoacloar under
standing of what bo says. A . talk
about things yields only apparent
knowledge, but an examination of the
things themselve8,real knowledge; the

the cyo perceives ; nnd the toucher
who has the power to show to tho eyo
what ho speaks about to tho car.teacli-
os with twice the euso and success,
compared with one w ho has not this
skill. Knt tins is not ail, it is not so
much tho aim of a successful teacher
to put bo much arithmetic, geography
and grammar into the minds of his
pupils, as it is to unilonnly cultivate
and refine all tho faculties of their
minds, and in no way can this be more
readily accomplished than by draw
ing; fiir it is studying nature, and
it therefore cannot tail hut bo produc
tive of good.

.The question for consideration, "IIow
literary exercises should ho conducted
on Friday afternoon," was discussed
by M. L. Savage, In siibstniico as fol
lows :
On motion, a recess nf ten minutes
was granted for friendly intercourse,
after which Prof. .Slioomakcr resumed
the subject of Elocution, taking as his
subjoct "Culture of tho voico in con
versation." Tho speaker impressed
upon the Uwhers tho iniportuiioo of .
setting a good example by a strict ad-
hcrnnce to the principles of Klouution,
us applicable in convorsation, nnd then
observing the habits of coiiversation in
their pupils, tatting advantago of every
opportunity to correct tho errors they
may muhe.. It was his oninion that
no teacher can muko a good reader of
of a pupil by giving him fifteen or
twenty minutes instructions each duy,
unless he is able to impress upon him
the importance of a strict attention to
habits of conversation.
On motion, a committeo of threo
persons, consisting of J. F. MeKcnrick,
W. S. Luther and J. JJ. Moore, wore
appointed to revise tho proceedings of
the institute and prepare them lor
publication.

G. W. Jlarstlen took up tho subject
of writing, dwellingnpon the principles
nnd their application in tho formation
of letters. Said there ia but ono sys
tem of Penmanship. Although many
different authors claim for themselves
an original system, yet in reality thore
is no diffcrenco, and tho teacher who
understands how to teach from ono
author can teach from all others.
Tho outline of Written Arithmetic

and Superintendent Gregory.
Question for discussion, "Should
pupils bo compelled lo remain during
recess or nflcr school hours for bad
conduct 7" R, B. Lodcr on aftlnnativo
said, "1 believe pupils should bo do-
' privod of recess or clctuirnxl after the
1 n,atbvo been dismissed, for bad con-
duct. Pupils nil desire to have their
recreation togethor, ami to deprivo
them of this privilcdiro is a creator
punishment and more effcetitui than
many harsher modes sometimes resort

recreation, but only with tho other
pupils, by detaining them after school.
Tho tuachcr has more time to reason
with pupils, nnd in many casos thus
accomplish moro, than by punishing
in the presenco of tho other pupils."
J. V. MeKcnrick on negativo said
"Mr. Chairman: This is not simply a
question in which tho most effectual
modes of punishment aro to bo con
sidered, but also the riirhta of the pupil.
Whilst the teacher is monarch of all
he surveys in tbo school room, each
pupil has certain individual rights
which must be respected. Custom has
limited tho timo for teaching to six
hours, and whilst tho school law gives
tho tuachcr authority over the pupil

bo returns homo, it also gives tho pupil
certain periods during the school tluy
for recreation. These periods are bo
foro school, at roccss, at noon.and after
school. During these periods of recre
ation, tho pupils only required to koep
within the limits of certain general
rules, and should be at liberty to enjoy
himself in any way he desires, so long
as ho does not transgress upon theno
ruled. Tills liberty is not given him
nut of courtesy, or as a reward for
dilitronuo and deportment, but because
it is as osscutiul to health, vigor of
mind, and a proper development (if
his physical powers, as tlio air lie
breathes or the fbod he oats. ' It Is ad
mitted by all eminent educators that
one of the evils of the American school
system is "Too much time spent in
study, and not enongh In recreation,"
or, as those in favor of tho afDrmat,:ve4
would have It, 'The mind educated.
and tho body tortured." It Is ermting
too much to educate the child when it
is don at a sacrifice of his. health. We
clsitn that no tescher hau a right, tin
dor any olronmstuiioos, to coiifino a
child more than nix hour in tho school
room. The prectieoofdotainlngpiipils
in tlio evening or at recess to prepare
lessons or an a punishment tor miscon

had collected at various Institutes,
showing how many teachom fhil to

attributed tho reason why many per-led

Tho speaker apologized for coining
before tho audience unprepared. Said
it was only to comply with a request
of Stipt Gregory, that ho appeared be
fore the touchers on this occasion, and
would confine his remarks to tho Teach
er and bis works. As ho had some
experience in school teaching, could
sympatbiio with tho teacher in all his
trials and rejoice witli him in nil his
victories. Alluding briefly to tho pro
gress our teachers nnd schools havo
mado in past ten yours, said there
was a rule that applied to the teacher
as well as tho merchant or professional
I man. J I was tins, if you wish to suc-
eoed yon must persevere, determine to

duwn of a bright future in tlio teacher's

For example: Indestructibility. He

wonl, district Institutes are an imnosi-
tion upon 1 lie people, nnd that tho di
rectors and tcucliem are doing w rong
to tolerate them iu tbo manner in
which they are generally conducted.
That he believed thatdist'rit t institutes
had done more to lower tbe cause of
our free schools in tho cslimution of
the people than uny other trgeney.
Thai ho knew districts in the county
where institutes were conducted as

doing away with the present school
system, for no other reusons than Hint

such impositions wero ubolished, and
something to produco a bettor desired

that lie believed local institutes were
what was wanted, thoy . were much'

REMARKS OF g. ft. BOOT '
A very few brief remarks, I wish to
stalo on this importnnt question. It
will be noticed first, its good purposca
That is it will bo the proper means of
bringing together a goodly number of
nil tho teuohers ill tho various district
institutes to well repnwnt a local In
stitute, which is intended in its Immd
st senses, to l of more useful, prac
tical Importance, to produce more good.
It will ho a ro-union of tho various
teachers. It will be a friendly meet
ing of all in good faith, Ifhd will. It
will then naturally follow tube a change
of noblo motives, greater interest man
ifested and more benelita will bo derived
thorefrom ; hence the teachers can go
nway feeling satisfied that they huvo
wrought n good work and leaving,
reaping the reward of kwal institutes.
ii Secondly. r It savwi the teachers
timo. Thut is It gives the lonelier
more timo to prepare himself and
school. Ho can muko chnruj of differ
ent kinds nt his leisure on Sntuiihiyn,
which will provo to ho of a vciy grent
iniportanco in his school. It will add
soul, now life, awaken bis pupils to do
(heir work well. Belter do this thiiu
go Idly to the district institute on Sat
urduys every two weeks, w here no ben
efit can bo added to his work.
Thirdly. It saves tho teacher's mon
ey on tho whole. Just look fora moment

Mr. Chairman The study of histo

been admitted. In all ages it has held
I11," I'1'', tts mosf Important study
thut could occupy tho attention of the
student. It has been truly styled,
'The torch by whose light wo aro en
abled to penetrate tho dark vista of
the past, and glean from her silent
pages tho records which Hie ambition
of kings nnd tho skill of tho artist
have luilod to preserve. .
We may search in vain among the
crumbling ruins which . timo has
wrought for somo trace of thetr ori

historian, nil the past would be but a
faded blank, and tho deeds of great
men and tho achievements of mighty
nations would live only In tradition.
The examples of the past would re
main us uiicertuin ns the events of tho

Notwithstanding the fact that mod
ern progress owes more homngo to t he
historian than tho philosopher, His
tory has been looked ujxm us an un
necessary acquirement, and although
made one of the studies required by
law, it has been much neglected in our
schools, nnd in many canes altogether
excluded, whilst much attewtinn bus
been given to others of less import
anco. It cannot ba denied that in tlio edu

should bo to instill lido the minds of

"Mr. Chairman. This is tho first
timoinmy lite thut I have appeared be
fore a body of touchers, and 1 do not
feel a bio to discuss tho subject of school
work, or school teaching, but its 1 have
nut during tha week and listened to
your discussions and witnessed the ex
ercises of your institute, the idua very
forcibly suggested itself thut mora than
the mere cultivation of the mind und
tho development of t lie) mental facul
ties is iut rusted lo tho charge of the
teacher, thai which wo should value
much higher than and of infinitely
moro importance thuncitlier, the I'liyn
Ical development of our children. Th is
requires much more care and attention
than I fear many of yon aro able to
give it, from tho fact thut tho great
mass ot tho teachers give this subject
but littlo thought. How many of tho
touchers present possess a fuir knowl
edge of the science of anatomy, physi
ology, or hygiene f Perhaps you have
not thought that such knowietlgo is a
roquisito of the school teacher, as well
as the physician, but let mo assure
you thore are no studies in the w hole cnt
nloguo, of moro iniportanco ami more
frequently required in tho work of the
school room than these.
You go on from tiny to day Imparl
ing to your pupils a knowledge of read
ing, writing, arithmetic, grammar,
googmphy, philosophy, ami the vurious
brunches which tend to strengthen the
mind mentally, and yet wholly neglect
to impart tho knowledge which will
ennblethem to strengthen it physically.
Kvon tho discipline of your schools, iu
ninny cases, is contrary to every law
of health ; whilst you require of your
pupils correct grumulicul expressions,
und precise mntliematieal demonstra
tions, you permit them to acquire
habits in silting, standing, walking,
und playing, which if indulged 111
through life, will lend to impair tho
health. In administering tho disci
pline of yotirschool, you require pupils
to devoto tho time allotted to pluy and
recreation, in punishing them iivr some
trivial olienco. There is no ollenco of
ji'i'jhiTijmpwto
in tho school room more than three
hours nt one time. A teacher should
slrivo also to cultivate in the pupil a
good nattired nntl jovial dismsition,
as anger is injurious to health. The
temperature of tho school room should
receive his attention, cleanliness in Iho
school room, and of pupils is also in
dispensihlo, Beautify tliesiirroiindings,
unit by pleasing the eye yon please the
heiirt. Jio ehoortul and always wear
a pleasant countenance, thai pupils
may imitate, and thus cultivate u cheer
ful and kind diiKXitio!i. All these are
subjects for your consideration, anil as
1 did not expect to instruct or amuse
you, I trust 1 huvo thrown' out a few
ideas that vou will tuke up ami profit
by their study. .1 I
Wishing yon Hod Sliced in youri
