DISTRICT INSTITUTES To the credit of the teachers of Brad ford, Distrtct Institutes are organizing in many parts of the county Looking- over a file of the back numbers of -the Brad ford School Journal,_ we notice minutes of Institutes in the following townships : Rome, Wyalusing, Canton, ;Tuscarora, SCuth Creek,' and Orwell. We have no -doubt but what district institutes have been organized in other townships. This is a step In the right direction. We trust that teachers will take interest enough in their meetingato convince directors that the ffay in the district institute is worth more‘to the schools that the -day taught. When_ this is accomplished it will be an easy task to secure from our directors_ thisda7) -, as an equivalent for a day's teaching. In all the townships them are teachers more experienced, better quali fied and more successful than others. If -directors attend, and some directors al ways should, these meetings, it will afford an excellent opportunity for directors to -.become acquainted With such teachers. This acquaintance must be beneficial to teacher and director, when the season for• employing teachers again comes around. Nor is this all they benefit. Indeed we might,say it is the least. All teachers desire to have a fair standing in the ap-' preciation of their fellows. This desire will cause every ambitiouit teacher to make himself as familiar as possible with the topics to be discussed.- But the greatest benefit Must accrue:from the free • interchange of opinions on the methods given, and the comparison of results in regard to methods tried. Theories are good. Theories that stand the test of the school room are better. As methods of instruction are given from week to week, or month to month, the teacher has 'an opportunity of putting into immediate practice, while it is yet fresh in his mind, whatever he sees or hears that seems to him valuable in the school-room. The methods of teaching that are the proper ty of the few now become the common -- stock of the many. Our county institutes have done a good work in this particular. Now let the county district institute sup- plement the work of ithe .county institute in following up the' methods Oven there testing them in the school-room, using Whatever is valuable, and rejecting as chaff, that which however plausible in thdiry, will not stand the test of the trial. Tau following complimentary notice is taken fr:4n the Wilkes-Barre Record o the Tintes.• , The-teacher mentioned was educated at the Susquehanna Collegiate liistitutedn this place, and taught for sev . eral Years in this county : A ZEALOUS TEA( RER. Editor of the Record I want to giv an account of a very pleasing and entertaining elev. • eise held in our primary school room this morning, but in order to do so intelligent have to go back several' Months iir oid• history and give yOti an account of the ei , ents - vviiich finally resulted in this entertainment. About the first of, Sep ten4r, 1f37941i5s Alice H. Peet, our efß c;eat primary teacher, who we: think has few ifiapy superiors as such, appeared to the Sidekshinny school board to purchase an organ far the use.of her school. The while, they could not butacknowl (Alga the reasonableness, of the request, yet felt their inability to comply with it. Miss Peet then, with indefatigable zeal, in - the interests of her scholars, cir- ciliated a subseripthin •paper among. our good people and by subscriptions of from two cents to two dollars each succeeded in raising enough money, and with it pur. chased a double iced, four stop, Wilcox White organ, which for „finish and sweetness of tone is eldom equalled; And this leads Me back to where I begun, for this morning, in the presence of her school and a large number of visitors, througli - Mr. Ned floss, principal of our schools, presented the organ to the school board to beheld in trust for the use of the primary school of - Shiekshinny. Miss feet's zeal, - untiring devotion to . the in terests of her pupils, her love for them and their affection for her are household words in this community. • A MERRELL Or TUE SCHOOL BOARD. -- PENNANsRIP.—In teaching penmanship the teacher should require' the scholar to become thoroughly acquainted with the analysis of the letters. 'This can be done whether the students use copy books, or, simply foolscap paper. I The teacher should write the copy on the board. An alyzt, it before the class. When the pa pilS become SomevAat familiar with the. principles of penmanship and their com-: binations, the teacher should require 4, scholaOr to analyze copies, not only of the= teachers'. writing, but of their own. The teacher should illustrate the mistakes made by the students in their writing books, on the board, reqUiring the stu dent to criticise and correct. Intelligent criticism. is one of the best aids in secur ing a correct handivriting. If scholars arc expecting to be called often them selves to attilyze eopiefs, they Will bet ranch more attentive when the teacheri analyzes. The beginner is not apt to 4 ' write correctly, unless be knows how. The best way, for him to learn; and the only way for the teacher to know wheth er he is learning analysis, is to require Lim to analyze and criticise copies written on the blackboard or elsewhere. =CCM 11 ;i " THE BRADFORD COVNTY TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.—The next meeting of the Bradford Association . id near at . hand. The selection of place is a good one for a session, since it is easily accessible by rail and near the center; of the county.

The Greatest Combination of Valuable Improvements Ever Presented After the flattering experience of the past year, having had a very large and extended sale. we find that the Tub Ras son Corrsua, is universally conceded to be the most desirable Range of its class in the market.

It is so constructed that it can be changed from a Low Closet to a Single Oval Range, by merely //fling the tipper part•of the Range from the Low Closet and placing it upon a set of ornamented legs.
