"Tho Responsibility of Teachers for tho Voice Culture of their Pupils'' was dlsr- cussed by Miss Sadie Barber of, Palatinate College. Holland .classifies humanity as follows: Tho artists, the teachers and the taught. Artists aro few, teachers are many and the world Is large. This puts weighty responsibilities upon all classes of teachers. The Creator has furnished each Individ ual with tho grandest, most impressive and most delicately constructed musical instru ment. Tho ancients recognized tho value of these gifts and attained great skill in Its management. In modern days thoavcrnge human voice shows absolute carelessness In the management of this God-given In strument. Tho duty of a reform In this Important matter fails upon the instructors of the young. "Gymnastics of tho Voice' by Askac?Guttman, is an excellent manual After a drill in music and a recess of five minutes, Miss Magglo E.

He spoke of the Physical and Spiritual elements that enter Into a child's teaching. Dr. Schaefcr spoke on "Final n aud d in grammatical Inflections." He gavo valuable hints and drew a ycry skillful diagram to illustrate tho laws that govern inflections. rrof, Redway lectured on "Geological Chances." The rrof. Is a profound stud ent niul his talks are listened to with marked attention. Miss Barber gave a talk on "voice cul ture," the correct use of the yoke consti tutes a source of grace and strength to the Vital organs of llu body, it also requires a natural position ot the body. Guttmau says, "Without tne muscles it is impossi ble to accomplish anything " Thoughts original from tho brain, tiie brain acts up on tho nerves, tho nerves act upon tho miwles, and tho muscles act upon tho bones." Decomposing exercises consist of withdrawing the will power from tho fin gers, hand, forearm, entire arm, head, tor no, foot, lower part of Jhe leg, entire leg and entire body.

Prof, nail gave a drill In vocal music, Miss Twecdle, the accomplished ac companist, presided at the piano. Dr. Schaefcr made a forcible plea for 'Industrial Education." He related Ills visit tp the Toledo High School, and what ho saw there. Tho lady who graduates from that school may well feel proud of the dress she wears on commencement day because It was made by her own hands. Ho advocated the necessity of teaching the young people of both sexes how tocook, ne also spoke of GIrard College and of manual training boys receive there. He denounced the old system of apprenticeship. Tbo ad vantages of a school of manual tralniug are many. The time will come when every public school will have its workshoo, our cities have are already failing Into line.

Prof. Redway gave an Interesting talk on cyclones acd other atmospheric pheno mena, Miss Barber gave a fow comic reci tations; Miss Spear talked on "Language." Thought Is a power which God -has given to tbo$r whom he has created In his own image. When a thought is born In the mnd there comes a desire to express It to a fellow being; there are several means by which thoughts, feelings or emotions are expressed : Perhaps the ono most generally IN THE LABORING WORLD. Items of Interest Gleaned, from the Busy working world. An eight-wheel locomotive costs about &850O. Pittnliurg steel is being ucd for mann fnctoring In Great Britian.

Wode's Fibre and Foblic sayw "The rapid building up of tho Knights of Labor organization and its equally rapid divinte gratlon hns been one of thojneans that ha made men think more of themselves. Poli tics; co called, are on tho decline in the United Stales. Parties cannot make prom ises and not fullfill them nnd still exift a they once could, and tlio niorcwe eduralo the workingman to do his own thinking, regardless of creed or polities, just in that proportion shall wo lift him up where he will bo fully fitted, for pelf-government and self education." Tho Journal ofl'iiilcd Ijibor says: All agitation was started forty years ago look ing tothcthorteuina of the honrs of labor from twelve and fifteen per day to ten. At that time capital could not be brought to see the necessity for such a reduction, and bitterly opposed it, in somo cases even to the extent of closing their factories and allow ing riot to run rampant, in the hone that with btarrulion staring them in the facu tlio "poor, blind fools who knew what was -best for themselves" would be forced to succumb and the old order of things would still con tinuc. But. thanks to the advice of n few and the wishes of many, the fight for shorter hours was won. And what was tlio result? Human happiness was increased over Till per cent, tho workingnien and their families wore more cheerful faces, more men were given employment, and tho compensation for labor instead of decreasing, increased. iutnuugii we may miner a temporary ucicai, the not distant future will see eight linn the recognized work day of America.

The clght-roomed school handing at ne anuiuou oi a Chronic Catarrh Let It be Held Here. The 25th session of tho Carbon county Teachers' Institute has been an unparal leled success. At no time In the history of these gatherings haye tho sessions and lectures been so well attended by the peo plo, and without exaggeration it Is safe to say that in 'no other town In the connty would tins nave been tuecase. Why should tbo Institute not bo held here again then? It was held at Mauch Chunk for two con secutive years, why should tho same ad vantage not bo granted to our Instituto patronizing people ? It Is only fair. Again, we possess all the necessary conveniences, viz: Excellent railroad facilities, unex celled hotel accommodations, a splcDdldiy, illuminated and comfortablo opera house, and a school building with well apportioned rooms for the sessions of tbo several sec tions or grades of the Institute, anda people, who liberally patronize hy their presenco 'lie sessions both day and night. Theso facts should bo carefully wolghcd by the teachers ere they vote ou the question of changing tho place for holding the Insti tute next year; pettv prejudices should not beallowed to conflict with tho wolfaro of the Institute. Remember, 110 season lec ture tickets were disposed of heie against 45 at Mauch Chunk last year nearly three times as many; this should speak for Itself. Let the teachers vote ones, but yote right, and Lehlghton will haye tho Institute next year because it paja to hold it here. Sunday School Supplies.

Tho lust Instituto was held at Munch Chunk. Tho attendance ol teachers was un precedented In tho history of the county, an attendance of Oiiv, per cent being made for tho week.

Tho mere spending ol tho time in working problems and obtaining answers n ill not do, teachers must require the pupils to thoroughly analyze their work and thus fill o culture iu the subject, 'loo much timo Is now spent In teaching pupils how te work particular problems or hon to pass an examination or u pauicuiar hook, Instead of teaching tho subject.
