Tenders' County Institute. WKDNKSDAT MORNING. Indilutc opened by singing, followed by prayer by Dr. N. II. SchaelTer. Dr. Scliaer fer then resumed his lecture on tho "Menr ory." The In-cltanlail part of the memory was discussed In his former lecture, so he now look tho second part or the Logical Memoiy. The lotlowlng laws of association Rroofpnmo importance: 1st. Contiguity or Time and Place. 2nd. Similarity nnd Contrast. 3rd. Cause ond Effect. -Ilh. Gen ernlsBiid Particulars. The Dr. gave many practical Illustration!, proving lhe Import ance of observing (heso laws. The next of lmKrtance Is methods nf strengthening tho memory, which ore as follows i 1. By rcpo' tlllou) 2. By manifesting Interest In what you wish to remember; 3. By clear percept Hons; 4. Mcmcnter exercises. These points were discussed at length and many practi cal suggestions given to the teachers. The Institute then sang "While the Morn ing Bells are Ringing," and after a recess, W. I. Marshall, of Fitchburg.Mass. ,was in troduced or.d lectured on the subject of Ten manshlp. Wo nlm at two kinJs of writing. 1 Good writing, which Is that which Is leg ible and can be rapidly and easily executed 2. Elegant writing, which Is that which is beautiful. Legibility depends on the fol lowing! 1, The form or letters; 2, Theslopo of letters; S.Thearraugementorthe writing on tho lino. Tito loriaof lettersdepends on, 1, The position oftho body i 2, The position or tho hand and arm ; 3, The holding or tho pen loosoly In any and all positions; 4, The movements ued,;whlch are: 1, Finger movement, which Is accurate, but slow ; 2, The arm movemcnl.Ali;ihe above points wcrelully illustrated. Tho instruction glv eu was practical and to the point, and was received wjthjmarked attention by tho In stitutc. After singing "All Hall the Power ol Je- sua' Name," Colonel James P. 8anford, of Iowa, woa introduced, who by his wit and humor kept the Institute in a roarof lough terforobnut twenty minutes, uftcr which the Institute adjourned. AFTKRNOON SSSSIOK. The Institute was called to order at the usual time, nnd after singing "Shall we Meet Byond the Itlver," Dr. N. C. Schaef- fer look up lhe subject or"Decimals." The things wnieh give teachers the most trouble are the following: I, How to leach pupils to write decimals; 2, Circulating decimals; 3, Duodecimals; 4, Division at decimals. The speaker illustrated his method or teach ing these points and showed how better re sults could bo produced if tlio subject whs properly lought. The mbje?l or Slocks and Bonds, was ihn fully discussed, and the terms Bulls and Bears traced to their origin and defined. T. A. Snyder, Principal olthe Lehighton Schools, then snoke on the subject oP'Oral Grammar." There are two distinct mcth o Is ot leachiiig Gratnninr tho Analyticand Synthetic. Beginners should bo lattght by the Synthetic Method, nnd as they grow older ami better versed in the subject tney should bo taught by'the Analytic Method. The child first talks by using words ond uscs sentences as his mind grows stronger, and this, to my mind.prnves c inclusively that the chiM should be taught the Science of Language in tho same way. Toach first the parts ol speech and their properties, befuro commencing to analyze sentences. Teach first the iden then the d. finltion. Haye the pupils form Ihctr own definilbna. Don't,',have the pupils commit long and nt stnuodi.finit!ons,but teach them the subject so that they make their lesson a matter of thought, and not an exercise of the m-mory. Teach them mainly through the eye, by means of objects nnd show them how language Is used, in telling about those o'ljecls. If you teoch Grammar in this wov you will toon see the change in your Gram mar class, Instead ortho dull, listless class, you will have the active, live class. The speaker Illustrated his method or teaching lhe pnrts or seech"ond their properties, so as to make the subjebt practical, interesting and instructive to the class. W. II. Ilauch, Principal or the Weatbcrlv Schools, then read an essay on "The News paper iu the Public Schools." The follow ing ore a few or the leading thoughts: Americans are proverbially a fast people; everything is done In a hurry. We study in a hurry, we eat in a hurry, we drink in a hurry, and eonsequeEtly we die In a hur ry. And now, just as lhe loth century is winding up, there comes a stentorian voice from New England saying that the news papers must bo inl-uduced into our schools, or the intellect of our pupils will shrivel in- todeformily. Few persons will deny that we live in on ago wonderfully practical. Therefore, it is argued that tho news of to. day i of more practical value to the pupil than lhe history or a dozen centuries ago, And In keep up with the times, the pupils must acquaint themselves with the current news. But since thought is immortal; sinie thought is not checked by dUense or death. since wo think on after death the same a now, since mind is Infinite in Iho fullest senseof the word and since culture means the strengthening, developing, liberalizing and harmonlzingof this infinite mind.lhere- hire, the storing ol facts and the learolng of news, as facto in education, are subordin ate in ronk and secondary in itujiortanoe. newspapers are not appropriate reading for children. They cultivate a wroug idea of life. Somo are sectarian, others are' politi cal in their noturo. Much of the matter In the newspapers of to day is improper read ing for the child. The essay wos carefully prepared and well read. The subject wos then open for discussion. J. M. Koberts, or Summit Hill, opened the discussion. Ho differed WU, the sneaker who had just preceded him. He believed a judicious selection of papers would do good in tho school room. We want more inter est In our reading classes, and the use of newspapers will produce that result. The readers become uninteresting and the papers present something new and attractive. And as for the reading contained in the papers olfectlng their morals, iu my opinion would nly strengthen them. Let them read of such characters as Jesse James and see what lives like theirs lead to. The committing or bad acts can be shown o produce had re sults, thus giviug the teacher an excellent opportunity nf giving a lesson on morality. uy the um or papers vou teach children to read and think lor themselves. Mr. John Tievaskis said he accomplished excellent results by using the newspaper lu Ins school. I (aught my school more ubout the geography ot England and Egyptby using tho paiiers, during tho late Egyptian War, than I could in a whole wiuler by using the books. All were highly interest ed iu the lesson, and everything taught in connection with the reading of the accounts made a lasting Impression, It also leads the pupils to lead for themselves, and in a ho: t time you will find your pupils, home evenings reading the newspaper to their parents, instead ol wandering about tl e s rets gettlug into mischief. The lime for the diie.ussion having expired, Supt. Wood. rulTlken tookuptno subject of 'Pronur.i'. atlon. First lesch the sounds of letters. Not I all the sounds, but all the cr cut sounds. Have Hie pupils keep a lil of all words tntf-c uld le maintained with tho same precis pronounced. Good pronunciation Is of prime ion ns on the other evening. importance. You can ofteu ju.lgonf a man's character by his pronunciation. It reveals the company ho keeps. The Professor's tlmo hiving expired, he announced that he would resume his talk ou "Pronunciation" to-morrow, and would like ell lhe teachers to prepare themselves with lists of words that thoy would like to have pronniincea llr Schoclfer then made n lew remarks, before leaving, which were loudly applaud cd, after which the Institute adjourned. KVKNIXO 8K8SION. After listening to seyeral beautiful pieces nfinnsioon the piano accompanied by the cornet by Mrs. Arthur Wells, ond Mr. Del lerllne, the lecturer ol the evening, Col James P. B.nfoni,of tuwa.was introduced to tho large und intelligent auliencn that had assembled to hear him on the subject "Old Things and New." The speaker after giving a short sketch of his life and travels, carried hisaudietice in Inugliiulioii nterthe continents ol Europe, Ai:. mid Africa, de scribing the many points of interest and showing the wonders of the ancient times as compared with modern times. The lec ture throughout was relieved with uumer our ouecdotes of great pertinacity and hu mor. The many rounds of applause through out the evening, and the hearty applause al the close, showed that the audience was highly pleased. THURSDAY MORXIKQ The exercises opened byimusic from the supplement entitled "Beulah Land," alter which Itcv, J. E. Freeman, of Wcissport, lead in prayer, Prof. E. V. DeGraff, or Patterson, N. J., was then introduced aud spnko on tho sub' ject or Primary Reading. There are eight methods or teaching pri' marv reading, which are aR follows 1. The Word method, 2. The 8enlence method, 3, The Phonic method, 4. Phnnltlo method, 5. Phonolykie method, 0, Look und Say method, 7. Drawing method, 8. Object method. The speaker explained ull these different methods. Tho true method Is lhe Eclectic method, or a combination of all the other methods, cominenco with the Word method and gradually pass Into the sentence method." In teaching follow tho following outline: 1 Present un object, 2 Ask ques tions nbout the object. 3. Give information about the object, 4. Show a picture nt the object, 5. Mukd a drawing or the ol ject, 0. Name the object, 7. Write the word on the board, 8. Havo lhe pupils copy the words, 0. Group words or similar formation and sound into phrases and sentences, 10. Teach the elementary sounds nf the letters, 11. When necessary tcoch tho names of the let ters. The lecture Has practical ond full or valuable information for the teachers and all tho points were made so plain that none could fail to understand. Supt W. W. Woodruff then continued the subject oT "Pronunciation." He showed the great importance of good pronunciation and how to obtain better results in this work. After which ho pronounced a list of words that ore generally mispronounced. The papers containing words that the teach ers would like to have pronnunctd were then collected and some lime wos spent lu pronouncing them correctly. After a short recess Iho Institute song "Whllo the Morning bells nre Ringing,"nnd Prof. DeGrofT resumed his lecture on Pri mary Reading. The following cautions should be ffbscrved In teaching primary reading: 1. Teach words as wholes. 2. Present about one hundred Words ns wholes. 3. At first only two or Ihreo words should be. giv en for h lesson. 4. At first give no attention to oral spelling. 5. Never let a pupil at- tempt lo spell a word orally whilo reading. 0. Teach words which represent actions, qualities, etc., by objects, or by their us in a sentence. 7. Tcoch new words, their use, meaning and prouueiatinn. 8. Form a chart ol tho word developed. 9. Never let a pupil read a sentence through orally. 10. Always commend effort, never discourage tho pupil- 11. Be cheerful, pleasant, frank, and make the children feel perfectly nt home. The following results will be obtained by this method. 1. Naturalness or expression. 2. Easo of expression. 3, Accurate articulation. 4. Ready pronunciation. Tho minutes of the Institute, up lo this time were then read and approved. Tno names of all lhe teachers eligible as members ou the com niitlco of Permanent Certificates wero then put upon the board, and tho teachers in structed lo vole for five members on this committee, on entering tho hall in the af ternoon. Institute then adjourned. AFTKRXOCN SKSSIOM. Music by tho Institute "Shall xre meet beyond the River," after which Supt. T.M. Galliot announce! that tho book entitled Caolkln'a Object Lessons, could be had in the towr.,and heodvised every. teacher who had not a copy to get one hofore leaving town. He considered it a book that every teacher should have. Prof. DeGraff then spoke on "How to Teach Language. " Do something and ask your children to tell you what you did. Show them an object and let them tell some thing about it. The first thing necessary is practice in observing. 2. Have them form the habit and power or description. 3. Study industrial things. The sieaker then guve a class drill illustrating his method orteach ing the subject. Supt. W. W. Woodruff then followed on the subject or Mathematical Geography. This subject is generally neglected in our public schools. The reason for it,I think,is because II cannot be committed to memory. Don't attempt to teoch Mathematical Geo graphy without using concreto objects to illustrate the subject. If yaujiave uo maps or globe, make them for yourselves. Get a pumpkin Irom the neighboring field and moke a globe out of it. Pay special atten tion lo latitude and longitude, the changes ortheseusons and their causes, the move ments of the pianeta around the sun. Hate pupils work out the definitions for them selves. Teach them to think, not In com mit a lot of definitions which nre meaning less to Ihem. The speaker gave many practical suggestions to the teachers oh this Iniportannl subject. After a short recess iho Institute sang, 'Akk tho Children," from the Song Wae, published by D Appletoit A Co. Prof. DeGrairthen formed a rlass aud IV luctrated his method of developing tho Mens of surface, luce, straight an I curved Hues, etc. The Prof, showed greut skill 111 leading pupils to t lie thought intended, und made tho instruction practical by showing teachers exactly how to conduct the exer cise in the school room. The Committee on Election now reported the following persons as the successful mem bers of the Committee on Permanent Cer tificates. J. F. White, T. A. 6n)der, Mrs. E. B. ."risbee, J. F. Snyder nnd II, A. EieenharU The Institute then adjourned. KTr.siNd sissiu.v. Owing to the bad stato of the weather the attendance on Thursday evening was not as Urge as on the proceeding evenings, but the excellent m'islo rendered by Mrs. Wells and Mr. Deiterline showed that though the elerpents might rage without yet their part i Pror. DeGrnlT, of Pallerson, N. J , was then introduced, and look as his subject "tiuccessiui wen." Tho lecture was a prac Ileal one, presenting no visionary schemes, in life Tor our young men and women to follow, but on lhe ether hand, good sound common sense views on what cnnstllulo suc cess in life. Tho lecturo was not only practical one but lhe speaker made it very interesting and instructive as well. We re grcl that there were not more present In hear rrof. DcGrafT, for we need more ol the earnest, practical and thorough Instruction to make our young men successful, and not si many fino spun theories nnd fanciful I lens of life which hate n tendency to make our young men look upon labor as degrad ing. All wero highly pleased with the lec ture, and they felt liiat lhe siieaker was thoroughly iu earnest in his views, and, not gotten up especially to entertain his audience. rntniT jikrxivo Institulo opened by singing seyeral pieces irom the ilusie Supplement after which Bey. I,. D, Hoffman lead in prayer. W. V. Woolrulf tlien sp-dtoon "School Management." 1. Necessary qualification is good executive ability. 2. Good address. fcyerv teacher should he careful of his e i pesranre. The parents ami pupils judge you trom your personal appearance, at find to n great extent. Wit It an element nt g-eot power In the school room .but It should be judiciously used. Humor is not as dan gerous In Its use, and often can be used to avert a crisis In the schoolroom. The fol lowing are some or tho necosnry qualifier! Hons or the teacher: 1, You must uuder stand what you attempt to leooh. 2, You should hoye a genernl knowledge or what Is going on in the world. You ahnyld be fa miliar with the current news or the nay 3, You need professional knowledge. 4, Head good books on teaching. I knnw or no bet tor book, to-day, on Ihis subject than Dr. Urook'a Method or Instruction. 6, Intelli gent practice Is very essential. It is not the number of years you have. taught, but the number nf years you havo taught intelli gently that is of value. A profound sense oftho Importonee of your work is yery es sential to your success. A determination to succeed must ba added to this. Bo punn tuul in ail that you do. The first morning or school go to the schnolhouse early and be come acquainted with each scholar as he comes, nonsuit Iho scholars as to the arrange ment of the things in the schoolroom. Open your school by reading a chapter from the Biblo, if the people in tho coinmunitv do not object. I wi.ulj be governed wholly by the oplo of the community In this matter, read the Bible yourself, don't have the pupils read it In concert. The time al lotted having expired tho completion of the subject was left until another time. John Travaskis, the leader or the music during the sessions or the Institute, then sang a solo, entitled "For AwBy " which waa loudly applauded. Pror. Littlo then gave a practical lesson on drawing straight nes- fieuies. The Professor believes in teachlhg children how to draw by drawing themselves. So ho had all lhe teachers of the Institute draw the figures after him, and so Well did he do his work that the teachers were surprised to see how well they had succeeded in drawing the figures by following his instructions.
