The Committee on Resolutions 'report
rAl the folloWing :
1. Risoired, That graded. exercises in
7.nglish composition, including letter
'writing, should be substituted in our com
mon schools in the place of technical Eng-
fish grammar.
• it. Resolved, That history should be
taught by means of the typical method,
and should not take the place of a read
ing exercise.
3—Resolved, That directors would ad
vanci3 the interests of education, by giv
ing teachers their time while attending
tbciflocal institutes.
4. Resolved, That a system of examina
tion similar to the Regent's Examination
in New York, Ought to be introduced into
the public schools of this State. .
S. Resolved, That teachers should from
,time to time instruct the pupils concern
ung their duties as citizens, by giving oral
le-sons in patriotism, truthfulness, re.
spect for superiors, and kindred subjects.
6. Resolved, That it is the duty of the
teachers to attend the County
, Institute,
and do all in their power to make• it a
profitable session.
The first resolution 'Was called for. J.
T. McCollom offered as substitute, as fol. -
', lows:
I?esolved, That graded 'exercises in Eng
lish composition, including letter writing,
, should be added to the study of technical
English grammar, in our common schools.
~ The subject was carried without discus
-
The second resolution was then called
for; discussed by` G. W. Ryan, who fa
vors teaching by, the topical method, but
objects to the last clause of the resolution
as in many cases it may be successfully
taught as a reading exercise. - Eugene
Thompson approveii,the topical method,
but objects to it as reading excercise. 4
1. S. Crawford offered the following
amendment :
Resolved, That history should be taught
by the topical method, and not merely as
a reading eiercisc.- -
A votes' was taken and the ,amendment
carried.
The third resolution was discussed by
.1. T. McCollom and Eu gene Thompson.
- G. W. llyau refers to atime when local
institutes were held in Bradford County,
and the time spent in attending them was
given the teachers, but the privilege was
' forfeited by teachers' idling away their
time, which should have been spent in
work ; but 'he thinks the teachers •of the
present day willing to Work-in the district
institutes, if an opportunity were given,
S the interest on their part Were given
for the interest of the schools is increas
ing; he mentioned townships Where teach
ers are paid for attending the institutes.
I. S. Crawford thinks the failure to
keep up the schools not a failure of the
directors. The resolution war carried.
Tha fourth resolution wak ;then taken
up fer discussion. The system of Regent's
Examination was briefly explained by J.
T. 3lcCollom, E. Z. Wood, Ettie Doty,
' and G. IV; Ryan, all of whom are as
with the system, either as it is
or as it has been. gr. Brown thought
the subject not sufficiently understood to
be iutelligently voted upon. A motion
'was made to postpone the further discus
son of the 'resolution till the next meeting,
in order to gain information on the sub
ject, as it is one that should engage. the
interest of the teachers. •
Superintendent Ryan gave the Associa
tion his idea of having a public review at
the close of the school term, or at some
=oilier time, to which the patrons should
- be invited"; he also urges the teachers to
make a report of theftrork done by each
pupil at such 'review, to which may be af
fixed the standing during the term, which
is taken frmn a , class register,; he believes
it to lie a fine way in which to stimulate
the pupil's ambition. • '
The session adjourned till 1:30 r. x.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was called 'to or
der by the President, E. E. Quinlan.
The discussion of the - fifty .
- resolution
was opened by Prof. Burgin, Who sanc
tions teaching. some things not specified
in the programme, as it - is the - teacher's
duty to putt the spirit of the resolution in
to practice, and do all fit his pourerto pre
pare his scholars to be intelligent ioters,
and to fill honorably any offices to'which
they may be called, .J. T. 31cCollorn
spoke in Tayor of the resolution, but
thinks a mare radical change needed than
that which the school-room can control;
he spoke on the abstract qualities men ,
tioned in the -resolution, and showed the
practical - use to which they may be put
,in such work.. Rev. J. 11. Nason alluded
to many of the things most important to
be taught--some of which are not sciences.
_One of life's gfeatest mistakes is. to ed
ucate the bead and neglect the conscience.
The discussion . was suspended for practi
cal work. - •
E. B. McKee was called on for an ex
planatibn of Voice in Granimar, which, he
made very clear, illustrating each stepby
an ex ample. I
Various questions on the Subjict
brought out different opinions anesoine
new ideas. Mr. , Qrawford further illus
trated the idea and went deeper into the
subject of transitive and intransitive
verbs. Other remarks by A. T. Lilley
and J. T..McCollom, W. 11. Brown, H. S.
Patterson. As the property of voice is
dependent upon the relation e i xistirig be
tween verbs and objects, the talk was up•
_ on the relation which gives rise to voice.
X song by Misses Foster and Sherman.
After a recess of live minutes J.N. Nor
rish gave an exercise in, latitude, longi
tude; and the use of the; globe, showing
shape and size of the earth, the rotary
and revolutionary motions of the earth,
and the consequent changes, the relative
position of place, absolute arid relative
time, measurement of distances and anti-
poded. Eugene Thompson 'Ballasted
the rule given in Robinson's Higber
Arithmetic for. corupating longitude and
time, by showing how the ratio of oneio
15 is obtained, Prof. Ryan explained the
change of day and night. Mr. Crawford
gave a little time to explain the direction
of the earth in its orbit; E. Z. Wood in
determining:place and distance by com
pensation at time, then the students'
searching for the given place mrthe globe.
Mr.-Morgan explained the lyres and their
limits. Mr. Crawford showed why a ray
nf gunligla may shine in a north wind'ow.
Mr. Patteraon, by the; globe, gave the use
if meridians and parallsls. •
The following were appointed to solicit
new members and enroll old members
Misses lia4 Poster, af. E. •Bullock and
Ida Bedford.
W. H. Benedict, then gave an ezmkNi
in pronunciation.
Adjourned .to meet at 8 o'clock r. Y.
• SPENING BEB3IOI.
The °yeah* session was called to order,
by the President. Singing by the choir.
- 3. H. Nason then entertained the audi
ence with a very instructive lecture on es
tronomy. It is a subject 'which cannot'
fail to be thrillingly interesting to aU, and
it was rendered
: particularly so by the
easy style and fine language of the speak-
er. song b male voices. Deelaination
by George Cooper; subject, "Opportuni
ty." A fine voice united with a pleasing
distinctness made it pleasant to listen to.
In the-absence of Libbie Shannon, Miss
Kate Coney recited "liana's. Waters,"
with much expression.
After a good night song, and benedic
tion by J. R. Mason, the Asiociation ad-
journed to mccl, at 0 o'clock e. u.
'NORMS° SESSION. t •
Morning cession was called to order by
Vice Presideekti% S. Crawford. Music
by the choir. bcovotional exercises by E.
T. Burgin.
Ernest F. Thompson then gave a letter
in eschange, which be illustrated by ex-
arapks under the several eases as given in
Roliirisou's Higher, comprising domestic,
foreign and arbitrated exchange ; be used
a shorter aad more comprehensive meth
od than Robinson gives, the difference is
more in thWforril and analysis than in the
principle: G. W. Ryan commended the
work Mr. Thompson had done, and show-
ed that a course of reasoning i iii - fol' ‘ owed
instead of its being nrerelY ‘ mech anical
work. Prof. Burg= advocates,:re_agening
frora the unit, which is always possible,
as was shown by the' work that" had been
done. I. S. Crawford showed wherein
the method used coincides with Robin
son's, be advises teachers to teach the
principles first, then the rule, if the rule
be taught at all ; but neverio teach a rule
without first thoroughly teaching the,
principles. Mr. McKee anggests working
in full, each operation indicated for be
ginriers, then as the principle is thorough
ly understood abbreviate the work. Song,
"Teaching Public School."
Superintendent Ryan called attention
to a neglect on the part of some teachers
to mark lateness and absence, this, how
ever, has been the fault of directors t who
did not consider it necessery ; ho advo
cates teaching the sounds of letters as a
generaLexercise ; he wishes specimens of
map.drawing given him either at the In
-stitute or before, for the County Fair, as
such an exhibition will show to the people
who are progressive teachers, :also incite
students-to be accurate in their,work ;he
spoke very highly of wall maps in Sheshe
quin township, which were neatly . drawn , '
on the plaster walls and colored ; it it
economy and ornament to the school, as
maps thus made are substantial.
A. T. Lilley interested the Association
for a short time in the Geology of Brad
ford:County ; he distributed specimens
for inspection, and - explained each as far
as time would allow.
Miss Stiles conducted a recitation in
grammar. The four young ladies who
formed her cleats reflect credit on the
teaching of Miss Stiles. The method
used is one given by Prof. Quinlan at the
Institfite of IkS. An opportunity was
given for any remarks on the subject. W.
H. Benedict prefers to consider the aiject
a part of the predicate rather than a-prin
cipal element of the sentence. 'G. W. ;Ry
an approves having much of the practical
work of the Association done by classes.
H. S. Patterson read a paper on
"School Reports." They are ,the most i
effectual means of communicating with
parents in regard to the attendance, pre
gross and Conduct of pupils. Giving re
ports excites a spirit of rivalry. The prac
tice makes it necessary for the teacher to
keep a register of every recitation. Miss
M. E. Howland read an' essay ; subject,
"The Theatre of Life."
W. H. Benedict gave another` exerciseexercise
in pronunciation, and the number Of
'words mispronounced made all realize the
need of a more thorough use of the die.'
tionary.
An anthem, "Praise the Lord," was,
sung by the choir. S. M. Huston follow
ed with an exercise-in percentage, dwel
ling particularly on''the notation-; remarks
by Messrs. Patterson, Benedict and
Brown. Superintendent Ryan asked
teachers to be particular about the ap
pearance of the blackboard work, and not
to allow carelessness in this respect.
The fifth resolution was voted on and
carried.
Mr. Benedict gave a method for nota
tion of decimal fractions, which allows ra
pid writing ; also an exorcise in multiplies-,
tion and division of simple fractions.
Professors Burgan and Quinlan earnest
ly asked teachers to contribute to the Ed.
ucational Columns of the Republican and
REPORTER. E. E. Quinlan advised the
teachers to take some paper devoted to
the interest of education, and make the
utmost use of the matter contained there
in. G. W. Ryan suggests the Pennsera
nia School Journal.
The sixth resolution was called for.
Superintendent Ryan gave the plan of the .
.work for the next Institute. The-resolu
tion 'was unimously tarried.

(I) Whitelash, it is well known,
pulses to a carlianateof lime ill A tow
days 'by absorbing;. carbonic- acid
from the air, and being soluable to a
certabrextent hiwater, is soon wash
ed, oftwhen exposed to the rain, To
prevent this a wash prepared .as fol. ,
lows lasts much-longer: To half a
bushel of lime add enough water .to
and be -shoat the consistence
of thick syrup, and 'while hot acid
halfa gallon , of linseed oil and stir
well. -To - this mixtfire add half -a
pound of Common glue, dissolved in
a gallon of boiling water. After,let
ting it stand - a few hours, thin with
water.ta the , proper consistence for
' applying and It ..us ready for use.
Some parties recommend 'the addi-
It
tion of salt ,: A others sulphate of
zinc, but I c not see any plausible ,
theory to sat," fy me that there is any
advantage .it _their use. With the I
linseed oil aii insolvable soap is
formed (oleate of lime) and the gide
fonn - i an insoluable cement whiCh
protects the lime from the dissotving
influence of the water., It- is possi
ble that tallow will answer the same
- purpose, as the resulting compound
would be the same—oleate of lime—
the tlycerineof the fat being set free.
(2) To every four quarts of slack
ened lime allow one-half pint of
boiled glue, a lump cf . ' alum about
twice the size of a hickory nut and
tAblespoonfal of salt, with just suill
cient,blueing to give a pure white
tint. (3) Slack lime in the usual
way; mix a handful of flour With
cold water taking care not to beve l
any lumps; then pour on boiling 1
water until it becomes like common
~
starch; pour it while hot, into the
' slaked lime; -add one pound of whit
ing and two ounces of-powdered
borax; stir all• well together _ in a
bucket. (4) Whitewash for outside
exposure is made by slaking one-hilf
bushel of lime in a - barrel,adding one
pound of common 'salt, one-half
pound of the sulphate of -zinc and 'a
gallon of sweet milk.
Borers in Akpple Tree&
. Now is a good - time, says a writer
in the Burn/ 'Sani to cut out . these
pests where they have not
. been at
tended to. - A few days ago I weak
over an orchard that bad fallen into
my hands, and in . one clay's - work
think many valuable trees have been
saved. As many as five full-grown
borers were.ctit out of one tree fire
inches 'in 'diameter. 'ln some in
stances these were found running, up i
the: trunk six inches, and not over an
inch apart parallel. .It takes --very
close searching- sometimes to find
them. 'Soinetimes a thin wire can
be used with good effect when, the
-knife and Chisel - can hardlY .reach
them. In quite . a number of —in
stances I found that the ' .spotted
woodpecker bad. done the • work for
me. They seem to know . just where
to find them when above • - ground,
and rarely fail - in bringing them
.out.
they need - not peek a large place at
all times as their hard pointed, barb
ed tongue-can be inserted and haul
them out: It *should be a rule
among all to let these useful' birds
lire undisturbed. They are -tame,
and boys are prone to stone thern;:or,
when beginning to shoot, practice, on
these poor fellows. When a tree is
completely, girdled by the borer or
the mice it can often be saved by
taking twigs of last year's growth,
cutting wedge shape 'at - both endS.,•
and inserting in the bark below and
above the injury, thus conveying the
sap. through': them. Thus bave :we
saved many a valuable tree 'that
would otherwise not have Survived
the summer. After cutting, out the
borers - fill up with earth over the
wounds and they will 'heal up if not
too severe. , .
MIL. J. 110WLETT, Of
.Syracuse,. N
Y., writing from Europe on a Dutch
dairy farm, says., "After feeding.the
horses and' resting a little while, we
drove about eight miles further on.
one of_ the .best stock and dairy !arms
in Holland. —They - used the very
same stables at the farm that they
did in the . fourteenth century. They
have little rings in the 'ceiling with
cords„ passing through them, by
Which thecows' tails are held up to
keep them from getting dirty. The
stable was carpeted and bad plants
and-flowers in it.' The floor of the
stables was Ot small bricks. At'. the
back of the stalls was a trough. of
masonry about eight inches wide and
nine incheS deep, with a ditch or res
ervoir of water at one end. .As soon
as the trench. was dirtied they turned
,on the. water., and alb the manure;
etc., was carried out to a eoverrd vat
whenee it. conk] be 'removed to the
fields or wherever they wanted it re
moved to,. The cows were. as clean,
'irnot cleaner,•than your horses. All
the fastening they have is a little
cord around their necks, and They
are so gentle. and quiet that they do
not require anything stronger. They
Use brass, milk pails instead of wood
or tin ones. We saw the. way. they
-make the round cheeses that are sent
to America. They. •have wooden
molds in the shape of two- hernia ,
pheres or half balls. These are hol
low and fit together... The cheese
curd is first roughly pressed. into
'shape and then placed in the molds.
The' lower half of the mold is station
41ry, while the upper part is fastened
to a kind .of screw working in a beam
overhead. The upper half is screwed
clown' tight, and the cheese is left for
a Week. At the end 'of a week: it is
screwed down tighter and left anoth
er week. At the end of a third week
the cheese is exposed to the. air, and
the curing begins. It -takes' three
months for a cheese to be cured, and
a Year before it is fit for the market.
Everything- was as Sweet - and neat' as.
any- parlor I ever saw. The stables
and stalls for the horses- were cover
ed with mattit.g - You . have no idea
how clean' everything was, without
seeing how it was done, .They use
the same kind of churns; the same
kind of cheese. presses and. the same
kind of pails, etc.,' that. they did five
hundred years,ago. They think it is
showing disrespect to their:ancestors
to make any improvemenbrin the im
plements that their forefathers used:
"'inquired_ the price of the cattlei - and
found that the cows cost from 200 to
'250 guilders,- and the bulls from 300
to 450 guilders, or, in pur money,
cows from $BO to $l4O and bulls frotn
$l2O to $lBO, Or $2OO each." . •

l'e - oplO Who Take the Most Trouble
There is a proverb that the laziest . '
people take the m , :st trouble, and .
this is often exemplified in farming -
operations, and take for instance the
following from a Western paper.
"An erperinient Was tried in lowa of
sowing in the fall, upon one acre of.
land, two bushels of wheat mixed
with one bushel of oats. • The oats
shot up sapidly and Were,*of Course,
killed down by .the frost. .But they
furnished a warm covering for the
earth, and when.,the snow fell - among .
the thick stalks and leaves they kept. ;
itfrom blowing away. This covering
prevented the winter-killing. of the
wheat, and. the rotting oat leaVes awl
stalks afforded a rich top dressing:
for the . crop the following spring.'
The result was nn abundant yield of
wheat, while land, precisely similar
alongside of it, :and treated in the
Same manner, with the exception of
omitting the oats, was Utterly worth
less." The reason-why'wheat "winter
kills" is that superfluous moisture in
the 'soil freeVts, and as everbody
knows water. expands in f ,- e - ezing.
The wheat plant - is lifted up With the
ice, when the thaw_ comes that which
is the heaviest sinks the. 6st, and ;it
this case the earth is the heaviest,
and the plant is the lightest; so the
plant is left tip and the earth goes
doWn, and then - . the plant is easily
destroyedby the sun and wind. The
best 'farmers take :steps to ease the
'earth of this superabundance. Often
times a few_ open - furrows across the.
lot will do this,
_and there are many
other easy plans of which farmes who
know their. business are well aware.
The oat plant May by the weight of
their dead leaves keep the wheal
plants, clown in the ground when the
thaw comes, but what may be gained
in this "way is counterbalanced by the
smothering the oats: (rive-the wheat.
It is a lazy waypf doing what may /
beinuch better done: _
