mental anthracitic, and to have the great
est T.ofsilile. use of the blackboard, are not
worthy of certificates, and should not be
employed 1./ - directors.' • -
3. Briartd, That the, practice, of re
.quiring teachers to "board around " Las
not the argument of economy in its favor,
and that. iu winter at least, it should be
discontinued in Bradford gonnty, as it
has already been in many counties of our
State, and in some townships of our
county. •
_
4. &solved, That the. , advanced schol,
are in our wititer sehnolikbouldbetaught
the pririciplcs.of mensuration.
I. Rewired, That the studies in our
common scirools.do not meet the require
ments of the times.
G. Resolved, That diagraming is,not es
sential in imparting a knowledge, of the
structure or meaning of the sonten.-e., ;
":1. W. Parsons called for the first reso
lution.
Prof, Burgan thought as a .small pro
portion..of the teachers were present, it
would be better to postpone the. discus.
iion, as it is one in Which teachers should
takeintcrest. Discussed by IL E. Thies
ley, followed by G. W. who . men-
Coned an'instance showing the necessity
of: adopting the resolution. Mr. Parsons
thought the teacher needed rest •as well
as pupils,-and be should be able to con
trol pupils while on the play-ground,
which is impossible While having a part
of the School 'in charge. Prof. Berg=
said much should be left to the discretion
of the teacher, apt he should be guided
by the wishesi of the directors And the
County Superintendent, and thought
, some tact required to keep those pupils,
who.are in, at work. • E. B. McKee seg
gested giving 2) minutes for recess, (10
for each di vision, ) and. while one division
is at play, allow the• v other division to qui
etly talk, thus alloWing the teacher a rest
from work , and an opportunity of watch
ing those . at play. T. McColloin
thought the resolution countenanced neg q
lect on the part of directors in'regard to
properly arranging the school premises.
11. S. Patterson believed directors' consid--
er many of the resolutions discussed by
Association as made in a fault-finding
manner ; and also that be has claises in
algebr-s and philOsophy which•llll the re-
cows period.
The resolution was further discussed
by 11, E. Itaesley and A. T. Lilley.
The following substitute to the resolu
tion was offered by J. T. McCollom :
80i,,/red, That it is-the duty of direc
tors of the'several townships to proVide
the school premises with such convenien
ces as will-permit the teachers to give re
cess to all pupils at the 'same time, but
where they have not done so, it is advisa
. ble that teachers should. 'give boys and
girls recess separately. • Substitute ac
. eepted. t.
Prof. Ilurgan remarked that the resole
- tion was to benefit teachers, not to in
struct directors. A. T. Lilley thought
the resolution comprised all. The substi
. tote was further discussed by G. - W. Ry
an, Prof. ;Gibbs, Arthur Head,- M. fi. Par--
,
sms, E. 11. Jiclice. Prc f Ryan thought
directors are not able to do as they like
in making ilapnwemetih4, : aS they starid
between the teacher awl the people—their
power is limited, Prot Gibbs said the
expense of properly arranging the school
grounds would be trilling. Arthur Ilead
thought this'negleet more attributable to
carelessness than to any unwillingneis on
the part of directors.
• E. 13. MCKee thought a reduction in
teachers' wages Would enable-the board
• . to MAC the necessary atrairgements. .1.
. T. MCCollotn believed the .surroundings
of the schoOl houses, and the wages of
a selux i d teacher correspond., A vote tut .
taken and the President declared the sub
_ stitute to tIM resolution adopted.
• - The President appointed as committee.a
to solicit new members and to enroll - old

.1. S. Bovingdon gave an exercise on
penmanship, followed by G. W. Ryan,
-
who urged the necessity. of 'teaching pen
manship by principle.
Sarah E. Ballard followed with ail ex
••• creisO in geOgraphy which was finely illus
trated bye class of four small scholars
who drew a map of Europe, and answer
. ed all questions readily, - showing much
system and thoroughness in the drill
Prof. Ryan Commended the work that
had been doneby the class, anZ strongly
_ 'urged the practice of map drawing ; he
reports an iniProvereent in the work-that
1 is being done by many teachers in , that
branch.
E. T. Burgan asked the length, of time
required to teach a class 'to draw a map,

the resolution on the table. Lost.
Ttemaiks by J. T. .3LcCollom. Arthur
Head thought some of the discussions
- sfionld - be for the benefit of the teacher
instead of all for the henefit of the pupils.-
Rev. Mr. Hayden" advanced the idea
that the advantage of boarding around
was the power it gave over au uneentroll
able scholar. 11. E. Raesley and Prof.
Ryan said the health of the teacher is
often undermined, as many districts in
the county ere not suitable for a teacher
to board around. 31r. Garrison consider
ed it the duty of the patrons to call on
the teacher in girder to become acquaint
ed. George Moscrip, I. S. Crawford and
Ed. A. Thompson also Spoke on the resolu
tion.. Carried. • • -

EVENING SE,SSION.
At 7:30 r. w., the President called the
mcetingio order. Prayer .by Rev. Mr.
Hayden. Music by the choir.
A paper "Methods of Discipline," was
read by .1. I'. ,NlcCollem; dividing • the
subject into horn,
,fiebool and social; he
showed the necessity of system its school'
work; as the child's habits formed -while
young, are tti shape his life ;. he cousideis
calisthenics a good drill, which must be
conducted with systetn, thus establishing
ideas of order while they improve the per
w nal appearanCe. -
Remarks on the subject were then trade
by several ; Prof. Quinlan considers con,
stint- work in the school to be, the very
best aid to discipline, since it' assists in
forming industrious habits, in enforcing'
discipline • and - in acquiring knowledge.
Rev. Mr. Hayden says all discipline should
be intended for the benefit of the one dib
cipliiied, and notes k Vent forany irritation
a teacher may feel,hence it should be given,
kindly, friendly, and-with dignity, thus In
spiring confidence and respect. 11. E. Itacs
ley said much tact was required by the
teacher, who should govern tie school
through its leaders. E. B. ,McKee says the
teacher should never punish while angry.
.1. S. Bovitigdon suggestsaski ng refractory
scholars to do some favor. Rev: M. 'Du
rand* thought the teacher's example 'to be
of moist importance, for as is the teacher,
so will bo the pupils. Prof. Ryan urges
the motto, "Do right ; because it is
Right ;" be condemns letting pupils have
too much liberty in order to study their
nature—, Mr. Moscrip suggested if the
teacher see .an indication of failure to stu
dy; the method he has used is correct
whatever he,finds at fault. Eugene A.
llanupson says' to . use uo deception. 1. S.
Crawford says,-let the teacher discipline*
himself, then the school. 11. S. Patterson
thinks a teacher should make no rules,
let common sense judge. Rev. Mr. Naive)
says:nriost of our beit s influence is uncon
sciously put forth, having conquered him
self, thus command resPeCt. Music. D

An exercise was then given by Clement L.
Ileverly on " The Time Examples." They
weretclearly xplaitied, and every teacher
present should have received benefit ; an
opportunity was then given for questions
on the subject. A question on the practi
ability of such work was asked by E. T.
Burgan, and answered by E. E. Quinlan.
A word by G. W. Ryan in favor of men
tal work in developing accuracy, rapidity
and discipline. A. T. Lilley gave an ab
breviation .of the work already given.
Eugene A. Thompson gave his method of
arranging a programme from his' own
school, which designated not only time
for tecitathins, but for study. E. T. Bur
gall suggested that the teacher leave a
programme with the report on leaving
I school for the benefit of his successor.
Piot% Ryan tlnmght the system of making
programmes was being improves'•' in the
county. 11. E. Raesley said that students
in his grade arrange their own pro- .
grammes. 11. S. Patterson apprOved the
prograittne for study,, which he consider
ed as essential as one for recitation, many
pupils are apt to give more time to sonic
favorite study. Further remarks by I. S.
Crawford, E. A. Thompson, .1. T. Went
tom mid E. E. Quinlan.
'Charles Warren then give an exercise •
on common fractions, treating - of addi
tion, multiplication; etc.; other methods
were given by Messrs. McCollom and
Thompson. Singing..
The following resolution was accepted
In place of the second' resolution
-Reached, That teachers who persistent
ly refuse to teach map drawing, the prinii
pies of penmanship, mental arithmetic,
analysis in written arithmetic, the, princi
ples of reading, and the sounds ofletters,-
and diacritical marks, as given in Web;
dictionary, and to make the great
est possible use of the blackboard, are not
worthy of certificates, and should not be
employed ; by directors.
Discussed -by Messrs. Crawford, McCol
lom, and . Nason in favor' of diacritical
.marke—being taught as giVen by stand
ard dictionaries. A. head spoke of the
disagreenientToiind in diacritical marks
in different editions by the same au
thor. A vbto was then taken and the res.
olution carried.
The sixth resolution was discusied by
I. S. Crawford and E. T. Burgan. Mr.
Crawford donned diagraming ; to be a
great aid, 401 an essential, and a short
way of imparting a knowledge of the rob
tion existing between parts of a sentence,
by appealing to the mind through the
eye. George Moscrip thought the pupil
must understand the relation of the parts
of a sentence before diagraming, 'there
fore it was unnecessary work. Prot Burgan
thought it a nssffnl means Of showing to
the teacher the pupil's knowledge of an
alysis. J. T. Mt:Collo:a offered the follow
ing amendment to , the resolution :
Resolved, That diagraming is not itte
ful means in imparting a knowledge of
the structure or meaning of a sentence.
The amendment was amended by :strik
ing out the word net, and, as se amended
was discussed by G. W. 115 P, Edward
A. Thompson, Eugene Thompson, George
lloserip and.l. S. Crawford. Resolution
as, amended 'carried.
Mr; F. A. Thompson offered the follow-
Ing
'Doi:teed, That the sounds of letteriand

the change. that takes place in the

muck as converts it. from Muck . itto
manure. The quantity' of manure is
then increased not only by the s-av

which saves the urine and abspilis.

DEEP AND SIIAI4.OW
Fe* subjects - attract More attention
and gdve.rise to More discussion and
want' of:agreement, than that of
depth of plowing. 3fanY , do not;co
sitter the very. important fact
deep. and shallow plowing depend
upon
.the nature of the soil. Ttie
truth is, there are many soils in whieh
if one plc's deep he may find great:
.profit in, so doing; hut on- the other
hand - there are thousands and tinjus- -
ands of acres ofland:where it'isheer
madness. to plow deep. On flat clay ;
land where waterlcannet draln
raiid-
Iy away,and where the lack ofdrain
age is the bane of the "cultivator. it
is found by experience that a shal
low but rich surface soil is much
ter than a .deeply:stirred one. 5i i
the reason is obvious. if water- he
an injnry,, and- it cannot get hitt) the
soil by reason of the hardness of the
subsoil, the rain will 'pass '.over the
-surface to the open (aches. which
always : have - to be -madi'_in a flat,
country. If we loosen such suit too
deeply, - we harbor: more of our liquid:
enemy, and that chunterbalanek-s
what otherwise might be a good thing
in a deep soiL• • Besides these, tlierc
are other considerations. If‘lie sur
face soil he poor. and 'we .turn
down :into -a still . poorer
_subsoil-4

A little learning is. undoubtedly a
dangerous thing in
_farming: There
is no department in industry allele
:
n- circumstances alter ea - ses more
than in this. While deep plowing is

APPLE OnenAuns...4.-In the report
of the discussions at the ; `
Xew York Farmers' Mb, 'furnished .
by the _Rural Home, we find the Vol.
lowing statements, which we- glean
from that account: Mr. Holton
' , bought a . six-acre achard,which was
about six years old, but for 15. years
afterward • obtained no. fruit.' He .
then\spread a wagon load of manure.
around each tree, thinned the top
as to :favor lOW Jwanches, and can
now pick\ three-foUrths of the crop
from the grouncl.. He allows no grass
to grow on . the ground, bus does not
plow; and nowobtainS heavy Crops.
It is becoming'well established that
no treatment tends more to promote .
Iproduetiveneashi`rather feeble - trees
of some age, than the application . of
.manure..
M
r.'Srewinan tire years ago, Le-
MAW the owner of an orchard of 300
trees, some 20 years Old,\which for
severallears past bad -been in grass.
One-half were Paldwins, the rest
Greening,s, Itussds, Spys, etc -.Smart
crops *ere produced; about one bar,
rel on an average to six trees. Air-
other orchard adjoined it, which gave
large returns for Many years. This
orchard' - was constantly tilled aio
minuted.- This. induced 'Mr. New
hman to plow his orchard, which cut
Otlthousanda of small roots.. It was
Manuted . at the - rate of tivelte or fif
teen loads per acre:- "The result wris
a heavy 'crop last year (the -scarce
year) and. nearly no crop this year.
The, bearing year - seems to have . been
changed—a result which we - have
known in. other instances by linanur
ing at the.proper tithe. We do not;
know*in which part of the seasonlie

in spring, before the buds opened.—

Honsas i at regular work, should he
kept in good-condition. Two quarts
of corn and oat meal, added to. a
bushhel cif cut straw, will make it
equal to so much - hay. This will
