THIS LOCAL INSTITUTE.
One of the largest and most successful Local
institutes in the history ol Carbon county was
held at Mauch Chunk, on last Saturday. There
were one hundred and six of the County teachers.
In attendance, and several from other districts.
Prof. Uandy's lecture, on Friday evening, was
.thoroughly enjoyed by all who were so fortunate
as to be present. The audience was small, but
It seems to be the rule In Maurh Chuuk that the
better the lecturer the the smaller the house.
The Saturday morning Besslon was opened
with music by the Institute. The devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev. Stevenson,
ot Mauch Ohunk.
The following officers were then elector!
President, BupL Suyder j vice presidents, Messrs,
McCabe and McLaughlin: secretaries, Miss
Haukand Messrs. Keleerand Minnich.
Following a brief address by the chairman,
Prof. Handy took up the subject of History. Hy
emphasized its Importance In the school, citing
the Benefits to be derived from Its study, and
gave the methods to be used In teaching the
ublect and in Inspiring the child with a love
for It.

was very Instructive. It aroused a discussion of
the raetht-ds ot teaching iiumDer In which
several primary teachers took part

Mr. Watklns was the first speaker of the after
noon. Ills subject was "The Object In View."
Us showed very clearly why the work of that
teacher who has no definite object In view Is a
failure-.
After apiece of music by the Institute, Prof.
Handy concluded bis talk on History. As a
lecturer Prof. Handy has few equals and be is
ecmally good as an Instructor.
Mr. Kldd then took up the subject of irregular
attendance. The teacher must direct his ener
gles to overcome this point, as Irregularity ot
attendance is subversive ot mucu good
Miss Dana then gave an excellent class drill
In primary reading.
The teachers were very much Interested In
the work. The class drills reflect credit on the
teachers In charge.
A carefully prepared essay on The Poetry of
Burns, was then read py Mr, siCLauguiin
The characteristics of Burns' poetry were well
brought out by the reciting of appropriate ex.
tracts.
An address to the teachers by Mr. Toung, ot
Wichita. Kansas, closed the exercises tor
the day.
The Institute adjourned to meetatAuden-
rled on March B and 7. Supt. Snyder announced
that Prof. Handy would deliver the Friday even
