The thlrly-ievsnth annual session at lbs Laneaster county teachers' Institute wai opened at tbe mart house te-day. Tela morning wu Uken np lathe enrollment el teacher and np te neon tbe number en the rella was 651 tetebers and 75 who we re'. teieher. Tbe secretary and bla as sistants were kept baiy all morning, bat everything wte se arstematleally arranged that then waa no een fusion, Aa each teeeber wu enrolled ha or ahe received a card, tbla waa preasnted te Mr. Yeeker and his assistanta and aeata were secured ler the evening lectures. Theinatltute waa formally opeeed thle afternoon with an addreia by County Super lntendent Breeht. He aald: Yeu are familiar with tbe faet that there la a general feeling in tbe publle mind that teachers' Institutes sre net success, Met a few ate disposed te go a step further and proneunoe thorn a failure. While etbera snrienely doubt tbe wisdom of closing the schools and spending time and money te consider tbelr Interests In a general conven tion of the teachers. These different opin ions de net arise from nothing. Tbeyare grounded upon several things directly con- -...mwu nun no KluniU M1U lUlIHjn Ol U38 publle sobcels. Tbe first source of opposition arises from tbe singular prejudice still bti bored by some Individuals and communities against tbe schools and their usefulness. This spirit of antagonism te the cobeols naturally breeds a spirit of war against a teaeaeta' In atitnte whose primary object is te promote educational work. These maloententa are few In number, yet have sufficient voice in some localities te rxelte a suspicion and "tens of small talk" against the object of their attack. A second and mere pepularclement may be found wboae faltb fn tbe schools 1 or thodox but wbese sentiment la against teachers' institutes. The peculiar view which Is held by this portion of our people la but seen when it la remembered that wblle it believes the school as necessary as tbe eburcb, law, medleine, or oemmeroe, BUP'T. IT. J. BRKOHT. yet it sanctions meetings and associa tions of all these bodies until It reaches tbe teachers when te the sur prise of any reasonable mind its moral courage falls and Jt preaches a ernsade sgalnst tbe felly and extravagance of teach ers engsgl ng in a practice which It approves as oemmendable and Important for sll ether professions. Mew It would puzzle tbe ordinary mind te discover anything in logic or etbies why teachers in their pro fession Bheuld net be sccerded the same privileges that are granted without ques tion or veto te ether lines of labor and liv ing. But tbe little mother wit that we all iunerlt In oemmon Is suifie'ent te explain tbe distinction made In pointing it out aa tbe arbitrary ruling of a surviving preju dice. Here the matter would naturally rest were It net for tbe faet tbat back of the pre judice several sources are discovered that feed and pamper it te a certain extent The most Influential of these Is a complaint against tbe value of Institutes that is en couraged if net dlreeted by the members themselves. Wltbeut any particular griev ance there seems te be a disposition or a most unfortunate bablt frequently among teachers te disparage tbe eflerts and the Instruction of tbe Institute and te convey the Impression abroad by speech or ao'.len tbat ita geed results may be honestly denbted. Me motive may exist te hsrm or prejudice tbe cause, yet en tbe principle tbat we rely upon tbe physician te diagnose tbe disease or the attorney te knew tbe quillets and technicalities of tbe law or the minister te expound tbe principles el Christianity with authority, se tbe publle expects a teaeber te knew mere ana talk wiser about teachers' institutes than any one e'se. Therefore It fellows tbat every mem ber or an institute Is challenged with the significant fact tbat he is responsible In a larger degree for its moral and financial support than any one outside of tbe mem bership. The application of tbli simple faet abeuld caution members against the bsnelul praetlce of promlseuous comments where sueb grave Interests as tbe welfare of the publle schools Is at stake, and furthermore ahenld Impress them with tbe spirit and example whieb the members of every successful fraternity must pledge themselves te put into its business and record. Unless ite feeling is shared in common tbat tbe In stitute's light la eaeh and everjece's fight, there Is of necessity a vague sense el responsibility and lndillerent ambition for improvement. Objectionable features are found in the management and exercises of these bodies. These mnst be corrected by the numbers. Bat tbls should be done by Judicious criti cism, In tbe way open te all exeeutiye bodies and net by agitating It In plaees where It ferments only a spirit ofsntsgenlsm. Free and unresirleteu criticism given at a time and place wben Its value can be tested la alwajs wholesome and in order. And every healthy, Intelligent organization aa we claim a teachers' Institute te b, never shuns, but always invites honest criticism frcm til sources; bat It Is a serious blunder te mistake tbe tbengbtless talk and gossip wbieh pulls down and blocks the wsy of progress for tbe open, manly criticism tbat seeks te build up. A third ereund of orpesltlon te teachers' Institutes is the claim that the character of tbelr work Is net what it should be. If tbese critics tre asked what It should be, the answer Is some glittering generality that is as clear as the Sphinx's riddle. It Is safe te ssy. however, tbat tbls notion Is held largely because tbe nature of tbe work te be done and of tbe work done at tbese meetings Is net understood, nor Is It aa easy te understand as tbe gain and less In any ordinary business transsctlen. it would be a strange proceeding tbat would enable a man who baa only given Inci dental thought te a matter te knew mere about or even as mneb aa tbe man who baa given bla whole time and thought te ihe subject, Yet tbls Is the point In tbe criticism; tbe individual who gives his lervlces te tbe cause Is called te account by another who occasionally leeks that way. However, it Is admitted, and obeer ebeer fully admitted, for Institutes claim te be progressive, tbat tbe work at teaehetV con cen con vintleas is net wbatweexptet It te be in future, but this critlelsm applies with equal feres te all public bodies, and hence If they are entitled te the confidence and support of the publle wby sbeuld teachers' institutes be crowded eat of the king's highway into tha weeds ? As already Implled.the Ideal teachers' In stitute has new been held and what la still batter, It never will be held. Yet this fact be Masen te be disaeurBKtdt no te Jeel p7I7j NtBBBBBBBBl Ik) tbe present Institutes an net Held days uisstneasleeal work reaching out te every grade of teachers of high aad low profs prefs profs saeaftl degree, sad tasptrteg them with nobler else aad loftier ideals. What tbe character of the work at these aheald be la what educa ters are trvlaa- te find eat as fast as, brains aad expertonee eaa point out the way. It this thing were a millionth part a easy aa son people would bavs us Issagtaa that it is tbese meetings would anticipate tha mlUenlum aad would have te be held ea a farm te accommodate tha people. Perhaps it ts Bearer the truth when we remark that there la net be much wrong with tbe ehsracter of the work as with tha spirit la which It la eftea viewed and received. Tha modest ratad which seeks te knew mere because 11 feels the need or it will find ample prevision te gratify Its laudable purpose, white the Pharisaical humor tbat comprehends the whels and all the amendments will return home be wleer than It cam a. Let net any of ns commit the felly that because we have bean attending institute for a dozen or mere years therefore It Is ae longer of any help te ns though It may be very helplul and Instructive te new teachers.

The net gain In eaeh case la determined by the disposition, the mental maturity, the Intelligent application and net by a longer or shorter stewardship In the profession.
