LANCASTER DAILY INTlaLieENOK WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 15, 18. Lancaster Jntclltgencet. WEDNESDAY EVENING NCtfT. 15. 1882, A SeHBible Platform.. General Butler believes that free trade i3 best for the country, but that at pres ent it is impracticable. In other words the theory is excellent out the practice impossible. It is a very good platform for a national politician to adopt and for u national party to proclaim. It happens to suit this case very well. It is about the only platform upon the question of tariff and free trade upon which a na tional party can be harmonized. A free trade party and a tariff party must both be sectional, because people are guided in their decision as to which policy is best for the country by their determina tion as to which is best for themselves ; and we find that manufacturing districts always favor a protective tariff, while commercial sections clamor for free trade. It will always be so, and any party that undertakes to plant its adher ents upon one side or the other will find itself localized in its strength. The great parties have not been treat ing this question very honestly. They have not said that it is one upon which they refuse to take a position on either side, but they have essayed to put their party in sympathy with the strength of sentiment in the distriot in which they were working. In the last national convention, it is true, that Watterson, of Kentucky, who happened to be chair man of the committee on resolutions and who lias free trade as one of the ques tions on which he is more or less crazy, succeeded in putting a call in the na tional -platform for a tariff for revenue only. It did the party a great deal of harm, because it was a false declaration. The party as a national party does not believe in that doctrine. The party in Kentucky dees ; iu Pennsyl vania it does not. The declara tion of the national platform lias been freely repudiated since wherever it is not in accord with democratic sentiment. It will always be thus repudiated. So would a decla tiou in favor of a protective tariff be re jected by the Democrats in the states where tho people think that their inter ests demand a tariff for revenue only. It is sheer folly to pretend that the Democratic party in the nation can at present be harmonized en a declaration for either free trade or protection. Some time in the future we believe it maybe. The interests of the country are steadily advancing towards the free trade point. Whenever the manufacturing industry becomes such thatitneeds to seek to sup ply other nations to keep it busy, the hour of free trade will have struck, for it will be the hour when tho interests of tho whole country demand it. Meanwhile Democrats must agree to disagree. Tho party lines cannot be drawn on this question, because the party members are not agreed upon it. Free trade or tariff is not a test of Democracy. The party is based upon other and more vital issues, which must be subordinated to our purpose to preserve tho integrity of the Democratic party. We observe, with regret, that there is an idea to force it obnoxiously upon the party, as the test upon which its candi date for speaker of the next House will be chosen. Already a year in advance of the selection, Mr. Randall of Penn sylvania, and Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, are announced -as the opposing candi dates for the speakership. One repre sents a state in which the Democratic sentiment is for free trade, and the other one in which that sentiment demands a fair protection for its great industries. It is right for these states to differ, as their interests differ ; but it is not right for their representatives to decide their vote for a Democratic candidate for speaker of the Blouse upon this difference, unless it is right to make the differ ence a test of Democracy. It is no such test now, and it will never do to make it one. The party should not be arrayed against itself upon the question in the selection of a speaker. Both Mr. llan dalland Mr. Carlisle are undoubtedly lit for tho office ; and the representatives should decide between them according to their ideas of their superior fitness or according to their personal predilections; not safely accordiug to their views upon a question of political economy, which is not one upon which Democrats are united. There is no difficulty at all in pro claiming thi3 division ; there is none in admitting it to exist in a political party which is built upon other and greater political foundations. The question of tariff is a great economical one undoubtedly, but its decision is not vital to the existence of a free and prosperous Democracy. We can safely agree to disagree upon it. Nature de mands that we shall disagree, because nature has made the interests of Ken tucky and Pennsylvania to differ. Yet we are in a common country, which must be kept united and harmo nious, and which must have a united and harmonious party governing it that is to be found in its strength in every section of it. It is far more essential to our national prosperity that its political parties should not be sectional than it i3 that they should be iu accord upon the question of free trade. Let us agree upon this to disagree ; or to embrace it theoretically, and reject it practically, as Ben Butler does. The Democratic party of Pennsylva nia won its victory last week, elected a a governor, gained senators and carried the lower House on a platform which pledges it to " an honest, just and true apportionment." It owes it to the com monwealth and itself to make this. In casting the eye over Republican gerry manders it is difficult to see a worse one than exists in the present division of Lancaster into wards. At present the wards are all too large for single voting precincts, and for this purpose, at least, there should be a division. But the ine quality of councilmanic representation is too flagrant to remain as it is. The First ward has four common council men, and tho Eighth' with 50 per cent. more population and voters, has only three representatives in common coui cil. An "honest, just and. true appor tionment" demands relief from" this gerrymander. ' ' - The few renegades who left the Demo cratic camp for tho first time this year to go wool-gathering in Republican herds got terribly shorn. Reviewing: last week's battle a Repub lican contemporary asks : '' Where were the young men ? " The obvious answer is: "Voting the Democratic ticket, the best of them." TnF.nE was an unfortunate young man who turned from tho party of his faith and his father's this year because " the d d Democrats never win." Ho should put his hair in mourning colors. The Philadelphia Press thinks Demo, cratic newspapers should " straighten out their record" so as to show tho election of Longenccker, Rep., over Reynolds, Dam., in the Bcdford-Somerset-Fulton senatorial district. Meantirao the Press will do well to straighten out its record and confess that it was doing some straight Blaine lying when it claimed tho election of Bosler in the Cumberland Adams district. Now that the contest is over, tho une quivocal endorsement of Pattison as gov ernor and the universal unanimity among leading Republican journals of his fitness for the position are subjeots for congratu lation to the Democracy. In the popular and well-grounded belief in his iutcntions as honest, in the assurance that ho will ex erciso his appointing power with justice and impartiality,and iu the firm conviction that ho will reduce unnecessary expenses, guard the public credit and abolish tho sinecures that so plentifully exist in tho state government, can easily be detected tho reasons which call forth the unstinted ftvor of Hie governor-elect's opponents. Mil says : Arthur's solo organ in New York " The Republican party is in a bad, almost despsratc condition, and it acid would ba the height of foolishness t'j dony it. Tho men who put it where itis can not save it. Blaine and his tools have gone in too far to bring it back, even if they would bo permitted to They have got to take their hands oft". Tiioy cannot gciide and direct affairs cither in Pennsyl vania or New York. The ouly safe course to pursue, then tho only thing that will rcnove doubt of Democratic success two years hence will bo to raako a clean sweep of everything and everybody con nected, directly or inrtirostlv. with Blaine." Ci,.yu. Bull, whom many supposo to bo a man, but who isn't, beiug a school marm of Jersey City, thus writes of tho " Jersey Lilly " : ' " Suo is a large jointed woman ; with big hands, and her elbows aro larger than the parts of her arms betweon them and the shoulders, as was plainly disclosed by tho tight sleeves of her costumes. I fancied that she was about seven-eighths bone, and when she smiled, with her extensive mouth and white teeth, tho unpleasant thought camo tome that sho was exposing tho whole front of her skull, which might any miu ute drop out, leaving her head a shapeless lot of hair and skiu. Having expressed that honid idea, I must not fail to do the woman justice by saying that, as an en tirety, sho is about as wholesome, healthy, clean-looking a creature as ono would wish to see."

Tuomas Skinner, a wholesale liquor dealer of Baltimore, died suddenly in his counting room yesterday morning. Benjamin: S. Beckwith, a well-kuown petroleum broker of Now York, died on Monday evening, at his homo in Port Richmond, Statcn Island. Ho was about 55 years of age. Stechen Jenkins, who is well thought of for tho speakership of tho House, is Irom one of the old Wyoming valley fam ilies. Ho is an historian and famous col lector of Indian relics, whoso cabinet con tains no less thau 20,000 rare specimens, representing the life and customs of tho aborigines of tho Wyoming valloy. Mr. Jenkins is a closo student and a forcible writer, who has lived the greater part of hia life upon tho very spot where tho bat tlo of Wyoming is said to have taken place. To his energies the people of tho valley were mostly indebted for tho. cen tennial commsmmoration of the Wyoming massacre in 1878, and ha was tho poet and historian of the occasion. He has now iu manuscript ono of the most valuable his tories of tho valley ever written, besides a number of local legends in prose and verse. Unlike most poets, Mr. Jenkins it a man of sound practical views. A rAl.SU LOVEU'S VICTIM. vuped by Uar uctrothed, a Young Woman Loses tier lteasoii. The train that arrived in Allcntown from Reading at noon on Monday had among tho passengers a young, well dressed lady. On the train it was noticed sho behaved strangely. No sooner had she alighted than it became apparent that sho was deranged. Sho was greatly ex cited, and her conversation with railroad officials confirmed tho belief that she was mentally unbalanced. A. W. Lee, the station agent, had her taken into the ladies' room and carefully watched. Chief of Polico Good was notified and he had her taken to tho Clack Bear hotel. Sho had forty-threo dollars on his person and wore valuablo jewelry. She had the appearauco of belonging to a good family. Dr. Slough was called in, and after ho had pre&cribcd for l.crsh-j became calmer. She said her name v;:is Lizzie Hooter, and that her stepfather, Frank Early, resided at Eighteenth and Wa&h ington street, Scranton. A telegram to tho chief of polico of Scranton brought nil answer from that official that-no one by thenamo of Early resided at tho place inaicatea. Later in the day sho said her home was at Hydo Park, a suberb of Scranton, and a telegram was sent to that place. An answer came saying that she had given tho right name and place, and a brother and sister would tako her .home. She became more violet raved continually, and completely lost her reason. During ono of her more lucid moment she re marked to a gentleman that she had gono to Reading in obedience to tho request -of a man named William Hartman, who promised to meet her flfcthe Keystone house. Prom a bundle of letters in her possession it appears that sho was engaged to Hartman aud that a day for tho mar riago had been fixed. It scorns that lm did not meet her. though she waited three days for him. Realizing finally that lie had discarded her, she left Reading to re turn to her homo. The cruel disappoint ment of her lover was a severe blow, anil uwiwhqb gare way under the strain. Her brother and sister arrived and took tne unfortunate lady home.

Presbyterian In the Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon at five o'clock Miss Dora Wick ersham, daughter af Dr. J. P. Wicker sham, ex state superintendent of public instruction and late United States minister to Denmark, was joined in wedlock to Mr. William Henderson, son of Mr. Amos 'S. Henderson, the well-kuown banker. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. J. Y. Mitchell, pastor of the Presbyterian church, in tho presenco of a very large audience of invited guests aud as many moro whom curiosity attracted to the church to witness tho tying of the nuptial knot. The space reserved for the former was indicated by a whito silk ribbon stretched across the church. The pulpit was very handsomely decorated with flowers aud growing plants that added greatly to tho spirited effect of the scene, occasioned by the rich toilets and happy faces assembled together. Promptly on tho hour of Jlivo whilo the joyous strains of the wedding inarch rang Through the church, the bridal paity entered iu the following order : Ushers, Messrs Horace A.

The reception was held at tho residence of tho bride's parents, on North Duke street, whero from G to 8 all was joy and merriment, tlra guests coming and going constantly and the street in front of the house bciuo at timer, almost blockaded by J tho coaches that passed and repassed during tho evening.

Quiet Bart is quiet, even after the ex citement attending the late election, which election, by the way, passed off smoothly. All parties being previously prepared, were firm and determined. The canvass was closely made before tho elec tion, aud the result was not a disappoint nient to any ol tho "knowiug" ones. There were, however, several Independents who failed toJonie to tho polls, nottico ably tho Independent committeeman. Since tho result has becu announced it is apparent to ail that no real dissatisfac tion is noticeable even among the strong est Stalwarts.

The Walk Around ol the Can caster Demo y cratsCaptive Coons and Crowing Kootter. Last night the Democrats of Lancaster city had their walk-around iu celebration of the recent sweeping Democratic vic tories in the oity, stato aud nation. Tho air was keen, the streets were muddy and the routo was necessarily long, in order to give each of the nine wards a good show at the spectacle. Nothimr daunted bv these disadvantages, however, the zealous members of tho party turned out iu force, and graybeards, who had waited for moro than a score of years for the day of politi cal deliverance, touched elbows with tho beardless voter "on age" and kept step to tho music of Democraticjubilation. The Hue was formed at North Queen aud Orange, amid great enthusiasm and to tho stirring sounds of music and burst ing rockots. The sidewalks and streets were thronged, and at a few minutes after eight the procession moved in the follow ing order : Chief Marshall Wm. B. Fordnoy aud staff. Ironville Baud. Young Men's Democratic Club. Franklin & Marshall Collego Democratic Club. Central Club. Millersvillo Baud. First Ward Club. Keystone Drum Corps. Second Ward Club. Third Ward Club. Washington Borough Band. Fourth Ward Club. Fifth Ward Club. Excelsior Drum Corps. Sixth Ward Club. Goodwill (colored) Band. Seventh Ward Club. Keystone Band. Eighth Ward Club. Eden Band. Ninth Ward Club. County Clubs aud Horsemen. Somo Special Features. Owing to the lack of torches tho lino was not as brilliant in -somo parts as it might have been, but the blazo of lire works, bon tires and tho illumination of residences and places of business along the route shed their light upon the lino sufficiently to make conspicuous tho more picturesque features of tho display. Among theso ono of the most striking was tho device rigged up by Mr. Henry F. Hartman, the popular linio burner of East Lampeter. It cousistcd of his team draw ing a wagon on which were a party of men engaged in drilling a rock, and it attracted a good deal of attention and applause. " Uucky" Hambiigkt's Salt River boat and tho disconsolate crew of representa tive Republicaus was another uniquo fea ture. Tho Yohn steer was driven iu single harness to a wiigou at this side of which was the inscription "Our Ox is Not Gored." Nearly every division of the line carried banners with a great variety of comical and suggestive mottoes such as "40,000 Majority," "After 1 wenty Years Absence Wo havo Como to Stay." Thero woro many gaily decorated vehicles with men riding in them, -and groups of merry maskers. Tho Seventh ward banner had a representation of tho ' cooked coon," and the Ninth ward among its various devices carried a live rooster and an opossum, looso on top of the banner, labelled "They Had No Coon." Tho lino of march was as follows : Down North Queen to Center Square, to South Queen, to Middle to E. King, to Shippeu, to Orange, to Duke, to James, to Mulberry, to Walnut, to Prince, to Orange, to Mary, to W. King, to Dorwart, to Manor, to W. King, to Centre Square, to E. King.to Marshall, countermarch to Lime, theuco to tho resi dence of W. U. Hensel, esq., No. 42 North Linio street aud dismiss. The llliiniiuaUoiis. As will bo seen it was a very long route, involving the marching by most of the organizations of about six miles through muddy streets and iu some places over freshly macadamized highways and a great deal of up and down hill work ; so that by tho time of tho countermarch tho lino was well thinned out. The first of it was halted at Mr Hcnscl's houso and tho Young Men's club with the Ironvillo band tendered him a serenade. Later tho Ninth ward club and its baud also sere naded him, and in rcponso to calls, the state chairman, who had marched over the routo iu tho ranks of his (tho Second) ward, appeared at his front door and made a brief speech of congratulation to tho Lancaster Democracy and of thanks for their uniform courtesy to him. The illumination of tho city was very general ; Democratic homes wero lighted from cellar to attic, tho blinds raised and tho windows, doors and interiors decorated with flags, evergreens, 'inscriptions and portraits of the governor elect. It was wonderful in how many places the face of Mr. Pattison was displayed. Of public buildings the Intelligekcki; office was conspicuous with Hues of lan terns around every story ; Goo. Wall's, Wacker's and John Pontz's aud other sa loons were brilliant, as well as a number of other business piatvs. Aiuoug the more imposing aud prominent lesidences of tho city that of S. II. Reynolds,esq., was hand somely aud tastetully decorated and made a striking appcaranco ; also those of A. J. Stcinmau, esq., and Mrs. Kollcy, Mr. G. N. Reynolds, P. A. Metzger, R. H. Brubakcr, Ncwlou Lightncr, W. W. Brown, H. E. Slayniaker, Mrs. Reilly, S. P. Eby, U. B. Swarr, H. E. Leamau and mauy others in tho interior of the city. But tho most effective and interesting illuminations wero iu some of tho smaller houses, where live Democrats of humbler means but of equal fervor and earnestuess. On Middle, Dorwart and Manor stieets especially there wero solid blocks, iu which not a dark window was to bo seen. Rows of blazing caudles mado a most brilliant effect, heightened by wreaths, mottoes, portraits, flags and unique devices of every sort. As the parado moved past these tho enthu siasm of the clubs was unbounded, aud cheer after cheer from tho ranks sa luted tho occupants of tho houses. On the front of tho houso of Geo. Pontz, tho campaign bard, were a number of blaziug torches, which lighted up tho whole square. Hundreds of houses testified by their display tho political sentiments of tho peoplo who lived iu them and their re joicings in Democratic victory. The wholo affair passed off without un pleasant incident or disorder, aud tho gen eral decorum which prevailed was ob served with pleasure by good citizens of all parties. M. Brosius, esq., defeated Republican candidato for congressman-at-large, viewed tho procession from his front door and was saluted with cheers of good will to which ho gracefully bowed acknowledgment.

Ho said that ad dition constitutes the basis of all arithme tic, and in order to teach children bow to add by object ho mado tho suggestion that teachers take an ordinary slate frame and by mcaus of beaus strung upon wires or threads aud ruu through tho framo they can improvise a very effective " arithmoluian "I that will unable them to count very easily, and an swer tho samo purposo as the numeral frames sold at, tho bookstores. The proper way to begin to teach addition is by single columns. It is then a very ready step to teach them to read double figures by merely telling-thcm of tho little connecting phrase "ty, " as for iustance a 4 placed before a 5 is kuowu as 4 ty 5, aud such exceptions to tho rule as aro furnish ed by " twenty," "thirty" and "fifty" can be impressed upon young pupils by special drill. Iu tbo " t:cus " tho samo principle can be applied. In primary schools it is necessary that thero shall bo moro of art than of science. Teach tho littlo peo plo tho '' how " of a thing .before you try to teach them tho " why." Tho lect urer said that it is not necessary to lake the children way up among the thousands and millions and billions and trillions ; teach them tho tens and units first, bocauso they rarely need to go higher than the hundreds. Tho lecturer added that ho is not an advocate of tho Dolan or Pittsburgh system because he did not think it met tbo wants and needs of practical life. Prof. Heiges introduced a number of objective systems that possess advantages iu teach ing addition, and pointed out different combinations of figures that can ho form ed. Music "Tho Rosy Crown," Homo's Not Merely Four Square Walla." Geography. Prof. Buohrlo, after answering a few questions that had been propounded bear ing upon his remarks of tho morning, re sumed his discussion of ' ' Mathematical Geography." Ho said-that if the oarth was at rest it would, by tho law of gravi tation, bo a perfect sphere. Tho rotation of tho earth, therefore, accounts (or tho fact that it is not a perfect sphere, but ' is llatteuod atf tho poles. This rotation gives us tho idea of the axis of tho earth. Wo get an idea of the zones by tho inclination of tho axis, and aro enabled from the inclination to determine the width of tho. zoucs. Iu illustration the lecturer drew upon the board a figure from which ho demonstrat ed how tho climate of tho various regions oi the earth is determined by tho rotation of tho earth, by reason of tho greater or less degree of speed had by tho gulf stream at certain points. Tho direction of thetrado winds is determined tho same way. One question answered by Mr. Buehrlc was as to whether it was right for a child to study geography it forbidden to do so by its parents. Mr. Buchrlo said it was not right to encourage a child to disobey its parents or to practico decep tion upon them, and if a parent said his child should not study geography tho lecturer would not allow him to study it and tell his father or a mother that he did not study it. Superiuteudeut Shaub spoko for somo timo on reference to this question, and said that, whilo he would rot eccourago decep tion on pupils or teachors,ha would say to tho teacher that ho ?hou!d;liavo it known throughout his distiict that ho was teach ing everything for which ho found time, aud if parents did not wish their children to study auy particular branch that was taught in tho school they had better keep them away. Prof. Shaub pursued tho lino of thought suggested and pointed out that school work is a missionary work, and that its influence should bo used for educating popular' sentiment. Prof. Buchrh) coincided with the super intendent's view of tho missionary charac ter of school work, but did not think tho courts would sustain any teacher or school board in forcing a pupil to study any par ticular branch on tho alternative of expul sion from tho school. Music "Beulah Land." "The Chapel." Drawing. Prof. Georgo E. Little, of Washington, was tho next lecturer, aud his subject was "Drawing." Tho teachers we're furnished with copy books, and tho lecturer drew a number of augles upon tho board, aud then mado squares of different sizes, which wcro copied oy the teachers in tho books, and a number of figures of various shajies wcro formed by tho junction of angles. Music "Away to School," "Music Everywhere." .Heading ana Klocutlou. Prof. Brown resumed bis lecture on reading and elocution, premising his re marks by quoting from tho letter of a friend tho meaus by which Mr. Bcccher formed tho picturesque imagery that illustrate his sermons. Tho lecturer de fined memory as tho faculty by which tho mind retains and recalls events ; the lav of association'!.'; the central law that dif ferentiates man from tho lower animals. Imagination is tho mind's artist, tho picture-loving and picturo-making faculty. Reason is that faculty which infers, judges, compares and understands. Generaliza tion is that faculty which takes theso com parisons, judgments, inferences and understandings. Thought controls ex pression. No thought and feeling control expression. Reading is getting thought and feeling. Reading is giving thought and feeling. Tho first hangs upon Del sarte's law. Tho lecturer raid theso definitions would havo their place in tho remarks that ho would have to-morrow. Music " Vesper Hymn."

Iligbcc, state superintendent: of public instruction, was introduced aud spoke for about Rvq minutes, reviewing tho impressions ho gathered from tho great contrasts that aro to ho observed in tho educational facilities of to day and those of his boyhood. He told of tho rongh old schoolhouso he attended and of the littlo uncouth pedagogue in blue spectacles, who imparted instruction, but that old pcdagogue.if ho was without the appliances and facilities of 'modern education, was not a mechanical peda gogue ; he did not care for outsido appli ances, but struck straight and with force. ; The distinguished educator illustrated the practical methods employed by his old pedagoguo by relating how he first gave him a real knowledge of geography, not the dead meohauieal sort that h& possessed at tho time. It is not. said Dr. Higbee, appliances, methods or facilities that com prise the real means of instruction, but the power of personal character, of mind' meeting miud, ol soul, looking into soul, ami of deep auswering deep that aro tho truo element of education. Superiuteudeut Iligbeo was listened to with attention aud loudly applauded. ' Prof. Thomas M. Balliet. a graduate of Franklin and Marshall college, aud now superintendent of Carbou county, and Col.

Coluuul Copeland mado a semi-humorous speech of somo ten minutes, iu which ho took occasion to pay a deserved tribute to tho tcauhors of tho laud and to express his sympathy with tho great work they aro carrying for ward. Vol. Copelaud'it lecture. Tuesday Evening. Fulton opera houso was tilled, tho attraction being tho second lecture of tho Iustituto course by Col. L. ll. Copelaud, of Indiana, on tho subject of " Snobs aud Snobbery." Col. Copelaud is au ex-teacher himself, and his discourse was iu a humorous vein, comprising au almost uuiuterrupted sorics of funny stories that kept tho audience iu a roar of laughter for two hours. Wednesday Morning. Opened with music, " Twickenham Ferry," " Whistle and Hope," "Song of Seven," "The Mil ler's Daughter," after which Rev. C. Reimnusuyder read tbo 112th IValm and tho audience sang " AH Hail tho Power of Jesus' Name." Some OueHtionn A.mvoied. Prof. Heiges answered a several que ries that had been sent up by tho institute, throwing out a number of valuable sug gestions in regard to object teaching and subjects of kindred interest to teachers, but was cut short before ho got si chanco to take up his subject ot tho " Philosophy of Questioning." Superintendent Shaub briefly addressed the institute iu relatinu to several inter rogatories that had been sent up, ono of them being as to legislation beneficial to tho teachers and how it could bo best se- L cured. Superintendent Shaub said it was a subject ou which a lontr speech could bo made, but with a me cry twinkle added that the whole matter had better bo left to tho " Democratic Legislature," and if additional benefits could bo secured from this quarter he certainly wonld bo very glad. Laughter and applause. 1 Music" The Miller's Daughter." . Tho next period was occupied by, City jvf' Superintendent Buehrle iu answering questions. Ho thought that teachers should excuse pupils from tho study of particular branches of study only at tho request ol parents, and ordinary decency would lequiro that tho xnrents should give a lcosonable causo for wishing bis child excused ; tho teacher might nso his influence upon the parent to briug him to understand that it was best for tho child to study the regular course ; it so hap pens, tco, that usually tho trouble is with tho teacher if ho does not taf:o tho proper degree of interest iu a branch of study the pupil will bo certain to manifest tho samo indifference, and vice versa ; tho right thing for tho teacher to do is to throw himself with all tho moro ardor into a study that he finds to bo unpopular, with pupiUand patrons', and he is almost certain to overcome tho prcjudico exist ing agahut it. Prof. Buchrlo answered also a' number of question, bearing upon his runner remarks upon geographical and mathematical subjects. Music" Let Others Dream." Drawing. Prof. Little occupied the ensuing fifteen miuuto period by drawing figures upon tho blackboard, which wero cbniad by the teachers. His idea is to arouse au interest iu tho subject of drawing among tho teacher.'-', who may carry it into their schoolrooms and reach the masses of tho pupil:-- not merely those who havo niaifi I'estcd a special adaptability in this direct tion. Music "Shall Wo Meet Beyond tins River?" (low to Teach Kcadmg. Prof. Brown told his audieuco bow tho i child may bo taught to think in English whose surraundiugs havo all been German, Milieu i iu vriug uuiuru uiiii xjiigiuui tyiu bols aud s lead his ideas in that direction. At somo length Prof. Brown discussed tbo subject of generalization and tho ways leading to it, and took up tho manner of teaching the littlo child to read from ob ject.", by which vivid, vital, central, living impressions are formed, aud from which vivid, vital, central, living expressions aro called forth. Prof. Brown illustrated aud had two cf tho teachers aud a little boy to i cad a sentence upof tho chart hanging upon tho blackboard Music "Vesper Hymn." The Work l the Teacher and Hon to lo It. Col. Copeland was introduced and began his remarks by protesting nga'nst tho manner iu which tho audieuco at this institute arranged itself, with tbo roses all on out', side and tho thorns on tho other, alluding to tho dictribution of the sexes ou separate sides of tho room. Tho speaker said it was not the business of teachers to mould their pupils and turn them out all alike, small editions of them selves, but to take the child nature and treat each ono as an individual, study their respective bent of mind and to understand that each possesses faculties that rcquiro separate treatment ; it is the old notion of moulding that puts so many round pegs into square holes and square pegs iuto round holes ; tho law of differentiation is ono of God's laws, and it's the business of tho teachers to apply it iu their work ; to see to it that each boy and girl having a different liuo of lifo before it is fitted fur that lino ; habit, disposition and temperament must be taken into con sideration. Children are plants iu the gardon of life, and tho office ofa teacher is to aid this plan to reach the trellis aud to grow and grow until tho vino reaches far up into the sunlight of knowledge aud the fruit is lipa, rich aud luscious, not soar aud stinted as it is s- fre quently wbero tho moulding system is pur sued. The speaker pleaded for a broader and more liberal cultura for the teaching fraternity, a moro thorough understand ing of that which is iu onr hands to do. School government occupied a portion of tho speaker's attention, and ho made an offectivo plea for tho children who arc sent to schools from homes that aro devoid of good influences or proper associations. Tho bad boys and girls need caro aud Iovo and kind attention oven'morottban the good childten who have tho Iovo of a mother aud tho holy influences that pervade homo. The speaker il lustrated the necessity of tender care for tho unfortunates and moral out casts by relating an affecting iucidesit i;i hia own nchoclboy life, and paid a tribute to tho memory of his school teacher, a whito haired "old maid," v.l ' by Iovo and gentleness had goyerm d a lot of un ruly young rascals who had i-it to :ut lusty men whose only idea : (I-MupliiM. and school government was, tho jmwer or brute force.
