II, Heet, of Mount Jey, wns tuvtlgned the openlnR speech en this topic llu begin by stating that tbe fundaineiital Ideas of a Ireo school system are free school homes, free text hoeka. When the text books nre nut free an obstacle Is thrown In the way becsuse peer chlldren de net hae tba Uncnt of the education glven te ethers tnore fortunately situated. 1'oer children cannot stleid te purcbase nil the text books needid, and In conee,ueuce tliey cannot purtue all the studies In the course. Anether otxtaUe where there aie no fic) ext teki Is the flent lug population They iorueo from one dlatrfct te another mid there being no uni formity el text books, the expense is tee groilen the parents. The cbaugei of text WKiks made uece-ary occasionally Is slsu a sourceoraiiuoynuce te parent, particularly thoee of large fauilltea. These e lis are net fnucy dreams butsucli as couie te the notice of all director, nud If thny en be rem rem rem odled by free text book", oery benrd In the county should adept that plsu. The recent set of the legislature lrgallrleg free text books will help te piliti tlie work forward.

In the three or four years that text books were owned by the beard, thore has net been a single objection te the sy stem. It places the ixsir mi ttie haide bads aa the rich and is MipuIar v, it Is all el . D.nvler Hlieulc, of KM lleuipfleld, be lleC(t in a uniform tuiu of text books, aud suggested ttmt a oniTuiilten be cilled te dlm.'iisi Um (natter and arue en a uniform system. He whs also in tater of the books being distributed te the scholars by the beards of directors. Director SelilinurUUe, el the Ne Mill town Indepeiulent school diitrlct, did net lelieve In a uniform sytitrni of text books, lint In free books, in hl district the schol ars were furnished with books and the coat was trilling Director Herr, of West Lampeter, asked ler Information as te whether the tax raid of districts would hare te be raised if the pupils were furnished with text books. OenrgeH. Hanek, of New Helland, stated that Hve years nge the directors el Earl town ship, partially iiileptisl the Ireo syatem. tlramtusrs, geographies and hlntories were purchased and distributed. It cost the town ship about ene eighth el the tax rate te pay this additional expeime, but slnce then the total additional exismae has only been about f.W. Their books were Ijeught direct from the publishers. It was thought that the pupils would net take proper euro el the books the beard paid ler, but such was net the case, the books w ere as well cared ter as when purchased by their parents. His beud expected seen te make all the books Ireo, se well pleased nre they with the partial introduction of that sys tem. DirccUr Mayer, of Maner, asked what was done with the books during vacation, and he was told they were lecked up In tbe school lioiiBei, aud none had ever been stelen, lie favered singing books and Webster's dictionary being placed In every school. Director Andrews said the teacher la fur nished with a list el books when he takes uhargeat the In-ginning of the term and te account for the same at the end of the term, and since the system has been In use net a Ivjek had lieeu lest. The tax rate of the ten iishlp Is new nearly the sauie as it 1m been for join m, no thnt the lree system did net add te the ex pnne. Mr. Reet, of Mount Jey, thought ttiat a uniformity of text hooks In the county would destroy the lundaiueiitul hloaset a free school system, eh It tended te centralization. He belleedln each district adopting- whatever series of books It thought proper. Director Itndls thought the question as te whether the beard or the parents purchased the books a Htcendary consideration. The llrst thing requisite was te get tbe pupils te attend school, alter which the been, system could be determined. Dr. Wlukersbam was glad se many dis tricts favored free text books, lid had en deavored te have the Lancaster city beard purchase icaJeia Inst session, but he was voted down. He loekod upon the free sys tem as the cheapest. In this city the peer are furnished with books, but before getting them parents are obliged te sign a paper that they are in destilute circumstances. He was opposed te drawing a line between the rich nud the lxr, aud be gave notice that he lu temled te Introduce a resolution looking te a free text book system in tbe public schools of Lancaster, and if again defeated, he would net rest but would eiler nfter that a similar resolution, nnd would keep at It until he had tbe matter uccouiplisheJ. AN IMI'OllTASI lOI'll DlbllSSIIll. What can directors de te Improve the morals el children, was the tixt topic en the pregramme, and Dlrenter lra ueisi, ei Manhelm, toad the opening essay. He held that the dlrx'ter hlmsulf uitist be moral ; he must practice morality at beuie, morality In the every day walks erilfe. Many lead a moral lite lu the lleb te be popular. They are moral in business because It pays them te be. Anether way te Improve morals Is ilie rometal erihat which causes Immorality, nud he limned the Intoxicating cup as a great producer of Immorality. He rerorred te the law passed which requlred the teaching In the public schools et the effects of narcotics en the human syatem, nud coinldered tint a great step forward. He concluded Ills essay with nu earnest nppent te all telimd temperate liven. , ,, Dlrecbir LsiidK el I last Lsm peter, in dis cussing the question held Hut the director must lie strictly mural and that noun but moral teachers should Ixi employed. He be. lleved In directors frequently vliUIng schools and giving dlcJU) tescheis and liujilla, nnd when the work of the pupils cirrus JiraUsd te nay a Wind word te theiii. - j , Director Andrews bollevext that directors In visiting the schools should dollter moral addresses. The teacher should be told that the beard holds lilm responsible for any Im morality In the school loom or en the school ground, for thete the Uischer' takes the place of the isiruuL HirtKCTOHs' visits te sellout.. This tepi a was discussed by Dr. 11. I". Hhaub, of M lllersvllle. The doctor began Id essay by stating that the law allows ladles te be elected te the elllcn of school directors, and his experience waitlist they made geed dlrocters. The large attendance of directors was nu Indication that educational allslrs were healthy In Lsiicsaler county. All sections of thoceiinly nre represented. The statistics nl the past year show that only lf.9 of the schools or Lsnuastrtr oetlnty, outside the city aud Columbia borough, were vislU-d regularly by directors. As thore are In the county ever AOiJ schools, net uiore than one ene flttli are regularly lulled by directors. He was net hsre te scold directors ,for neglect of duty. In the pant, but i te cill te the minds of all a remem brance el the duty that all ewe te the schools. Directors should visit schools, because tbe law Is mandatory. It reads that the schools must be visited once it month. Itlsnlse the duty nl the director te visit tlie schools lre quentlytoree that the tax pnjers' money Is preiieriy expended. It Is the directors' duly te visit schools for the sike of tlie chlldren, Tbe chief objects of directors visits la te nole tlie condition of ground, school house nud school, te lilt the Huhoel ten higher plane, te Improve the morals el the ichoelanrf te make report te the beard. Many directors de net visit txvauae thelr business will net allow time. He would suggest that the work of visiting be divided le large townships. Heme dlrocters are Indifferent as te visiting, because they de net thoroughly understand the reci tations, othersstay away from school bnoause they de net want te be called en te address tlie pupils. He was a bellever lu the paying of geed salaries te teachers. AN ALL, DAV SESSION. At the conclusion of Dr. Hhatlb's address a niolleu was made aud adepted requesting the county superintendent te call aualldav convention of the directors a year hsuce. Scheel visiting was further discussed by Directors Lsndls, Oberheltzer and Leman. SHOULD WAtlES II tt OKADEtl. (ioerge II.

Jostles and Ulrntwa In tils opinion demanded that they be se graded. This essay was follenod by su interesting discussion. It was nsserted that the beit work In the school mom was net alwajs done by the teucher having the highest cor cer cor tltlcate andthal the greatest failures as toachers were thete holding high certlll catee. A system lu -.osue In some of the districts Is that n certaln salary Is sUd and If Uie work Is satisfactory an additional amount Is paid the teacher st the end el the term. ThU plan was found te work well. It made the teacher ambitious te succeed, for his success meant additional pay. It was after 5 o'clock when the Institution of 1m4 adjourned. Ilrettr' Da lu eHMr County. Thursday beiug directors' day, the Chester county institute at West Ohester was swollen In its number of altendauce until the hall was tilled te Its utmost capacity. Ilev.

Miss Hess could net glve her lecture en clay aud aaud modeling en account of the great crowd. She gave n talk however, stating that her remarks wcre suggested by the Inspiration of the moment. She would establish that trick el the trade, manage te hae no whispering lu school and yet lme no rigid nile againnt It. Children cannot develop high moral natures lu a dirty school room ; the room must be cleau, nu matter whose business It Is te al tend te It. As much of nature as can be had ought te appear In the school room j cultivate Mowers and teach the pupils hew te attend te them. CALM. NO Allll.MION le a UKrLenAnLi: nisrKcr. Ilov. J. Max Hark, of .this city, made the following remark : Instead of dwelling upon the greatneu et the toacher's work, the speaker said, timet t of pointing out what geed results hadalready been attained, he would refer te a great nud deplorable dofect In our public school sys tem, namely . the lack of bread and true cul ture among teachers as n class. He said It net In a spirit of carping criticism. Hut he grieved for the children who sometimes came Irein school with narrow minds nnd ruined luanners , he sympithlzed with these teach ers who by their lack were put at se great a disadvantage evor against these who pos sessed mere culture ; aud he deplored It ter tbe sakA of tbe cause et popular education, because ou account of It Its representatives wero net generally accorded the high social Coeltleu aud regard they should occupy ; and ecause through It Anally the school syatem In se far railed te fulfill tbe1' great end et Its being, which is, net technical training, but culture unto manhood and womanhood. Culture he defined as " the symmetrical, harmonious development et our humanity." It meaua breadth of thought, refinement of feeling and taste, and lefty aspiration, at ter noble Ideals. The need of emancipation from the homage we pay te what Bacen called the " idol et theden," loeklngat things through our professional spectacles alone, and Judg ing them according te our special technical staudards. We need te realize that first and nlwnys we are men aud women, and as such hive but ene master, Truth. Our feelings need likewise te be I reed from prejudice, that goodness and beauty may be recognized and appreciated w her evor they appear ; that our huuiane sympathies mv un out as fur as the universe. Family, aud perhaps most of all, we need In these days of raise realism aud short - sighted practicalness, te held fast te eternal reality of the Ideal. There nre things better and greater, and mere essential than dollar hunting, Heroism Is net a sentimental notion. Hener, vlrtue, selfaacrlUoleg love still lire, and for ever shall. We want te think et them, 8ympatbl7a with them, love and live, or suffer and dle, for thorn as tbe most precious and atone essential realities of life, flood litera ture is net by any means the only means te the attainment of true cultura ilut It is a nieaus and u most ellecUve ene. The speaker then went en tonliew hew the resiling of geed literature did this, inscribing the kind el books that ought tu 1st read and the kind that must be avoided. He also referred te Ilia question hew te read se as te be profited, and concluded by warning his hearera net te bring the stain iixnuse of having un time, declaring that net ene wirseil In n hundred .thousand was se busy as net te lis ahle te read the best thnt bid been thought and nald In the world, If they only tissd their time rirnpe'ly ' Dr. WblW lectured en "The Principles or Teachlng." The mind Iscompesod of three iHiwcrs twrceptlve, inprosentatlon and thought theso are tlie three activities of the mind. Kaeh el these threo xwern has nlse three powers or a trinity el towers. The pcrcrpltve power has I lie iewer of conscious ness, sonse ixirwptleu hih) Intuition. The second or rejirciciituHve power also has the tbtoe Kiwrers of memory, Imagination and phantasy. The third puiver, IheuyM, has three powers, coiueptlen, Judgment and reason, the last being tlie highest power of tbe Iruiuail seuL. Thus we have nlnedlstlnct powers el knowing thrrve distinct mental activities. Are these nine powers possessed hy the child when he llrst enters school T Dr. Whlte thought the child had them all, though they changed relatively aa the child fl rows elder.

In Columbia, Strasburg aud lu some ethor districts they have school libra ries Htid Lancaster city district has the advantage of many Ubrarles. The teachers of ether borough districts should usj tbelr Inlluencn with directors and ethers te secure libraries for tbe schools. He thought that It directors of ruial nchoels would appro priate a small sum annually In tbe purchase of books for the school, Ubrarles might seen bs formed. There Is ue doubt they have a right te de se. If they de net de se the teachers theuiRelves may get money for this purpese by giving school entertainments or by thelrewu voluntary contribution of meney or IsKiks. Many families would no doubt be willing te contribute books, magazines or newspapers for ube In tlie schools. Care must be taken that the lxeks aud newa. papers be of a proner character. Thus a taste for geed reading will be developed. This tate ence developed will prevent the pupils from reaching out alter the vicious and demoralizing literature which tend se much te degrade aud ruin them.

He urged tbe high Importance of cultivating the por per por ceptive powers el the mind a knowledgo el our common animals, our common plants, and minerals. There la adltleronce between rocks and minerals. Any large masses or boils of the earth's surfaoe are called rock, A small portion of the same Is called mlneral. Thore are net tnore than six rocks or minerals that are common In this section el the state. The llrst that he would call attention te Is celcite, the white vein that runs through limestone ; another whtte line in the Umestoue 1 quartz. It you can out the mineral Willi a knife It Is celcite, Ifjeu cannot cut It, It Is quartz or Hint, lfjeu put celcite into vlnejrar or ether acid it will ellerversce; the quartz will net; the colclte will, under the hammer, break Inte crystals ; the quartz will net. Anether mineral, felspar, breaks nnder the hammer in plates, but will net like, quartz, cut glass. In the limestone and ether rocks there are found yellow cubes, called "feel's geld" or Iren pyrites. (Anether Is mica or isinglass. Anether Is sospstene, easllydtstlngulshed by Its greasy feel ou tlie hands when touched. Passing' from minerals te tbe rocks he described limestone, which Is recognized by Its softness ; It may be cut w 1th a knife and effervesces In acid. LI met tone is of various colersblue, white, black and green. It Is one of the most common rocks en earth. The second abundant rock lu Lan caster county Is sandstone.

That successor Is going te be James A. McDevitt, el your city, the candldate for state treasurer against Quay one year age.
