The United States take th lead of all
nations in enterprise and competition and
New York is the first, generally, to offer
the greatest advantages. Almost every
month brings forth new advertisements,
as liberal in their terms as they are
sparkling in their originality. Iu an
other column of this paper the Grand
Opera Co., 129 Fulton Street, New
York, advertise to give performances
throughout the United States and dis
tribute $100,000 among purchasers of
tickets. Ticket holders receive a hand
some present at the time of purchase;
admission to one opera; and a chance of
a prize at the final presentation. We
do not endorse gift enterprises; but this
does not appear to class as such, but
rather a Stock Company, giving bona
Ancle Operas and then returning to their
patrons a great share of the profits
This is indeed competition, and certainly
guarantees to every one the value of his

day, March 11th. An organization was
effected by the election of Miss A, P.
Taylor Secretary and appointment of

and L. D. Rockwell Executive Com
mittee. Remarks by Supt. Lucore'on the
manner of conducting Institutes.
Remarks by Rev. II. A. Pattison. I
earnestly protest against tedious lectures
and am decidedly in favor of giving
each teacher an opportunity of express
ing lira ideas which may bo new, intei
estinsr. and profitable to others. Teach
ers of to-day have assumed the respon
sibility ot training boys and i;irls to bo
men and women; to occupy places of
trust m the household and tn the na
tion. We should train them intellec
tually and moially. For the latter pur
pose the bible is given ns, containii g
the principles which underlie the gov
ernment and institutions we enjoy.
Rev. Levi Little We came here to
learn the laws which govern the mind
and its action in gaining knowledge. If
we cannot do much, we can and should
do a little and thus have new thoughts
snsriiestod and gain strength for the
next effort. There is a great chance Cot
improvement in educational affairs, and
if we all do a little, we can mako some
improvement.
Mr. Huiicy being called, paid he had
so little eloquence he thought best to
save it for a laraer audience. lie
thought the teachers were at first a little
nervops. but would soon commence work
in earnest and make the Institute inter
esting and profitable. Teachers should
advance their own ideas and profit by
the ideas of others.
Rev. Levi Little then took charge of
a rending class, consisting of all present,

erning the communication of knowledge
and the education of mind.
.Miss Orr defined teaching as impart
ing knowledge, and learning as gaining

Prof. Cooper said Teaching is caus
ing to know, and theory of teaching is
seeing or conceiving a pian, ar,d illus
trated by the nature of a theatre, a placo
to see, deriving its name from the same
Greek word as theory. Theory of teach
ing is knowing how, when, aud where to
tench.

adopt a compulsory system of education.

Prof. Cooper on grammar sill Chil

Questions difficult to decide without a
book are quite as difficult with a book.
The Greeks used their languago correct
ly without a grammar. No grammer
existed in the days of Cieero and
Homer. Spanish peasants speak as cor
rectly as lord Demosthenes read the
works ot Thucidides eight times to be
come familiar with his expressions.
Childreu use some irregular words re
gularly, asmouses for mice and chickies
fai chickens. We should therefore
teach the art of grammer by correcting
these mistakes.

Lecture by Prof. Cooper Subject,
'Individual Improvement." The bee
builds its cell and the bird its nest as
they always built them. The habits of
all auimals remain for k"s unchanged.
Man nlono is capable of doing better
continually improving I Evou angels
and archangels as far as we know are oo
wiser or better than they always were.
Notwithstanding this very few per
sons make much improvement. We as
teachers should say. 1st. I can and will
improve. Progress is to bo able to do
more to-day than yesterday. We may
work no harder but be ablo to work
more skillfully. 2d. I will use all op
portunities to gain knowledge. Every
teacher should spend sometime in study.
By study wo not only gain strength of
mind but can better understand the
difficulties of pupils. All persons find
time for that in which they take great
delight. Wo fbould Btudy first, sub
jects of general interest. Second, our
profession. Third, our school influences
and surroundings. Fourth, we should
study human nature in school, in so
ciety in individuals. Ho who spends
well all his time and energy is happiest.
Growth is pleasure, We should spend
some time in writing out thoughts
We may improve by conversation. In
school we should aim to secure the co
operation of others.

RECESS.
Discussion of question Should we
teach grammar from text books?
Mr. Bailey We should ignore those
who soar above English gramm ir. We
have text books and we consider them
useful.
Mr. Rockwell If wo use no text
books we will have no grammer taught
in our schools. As it is wo use books
too much. There is a scicuec nnd an
art of grammar of the English language.
Wc may teach the art to primary classes
and the science to those more advansed
from a text book making the lessons to
be learned short nnd tho practical ex
amples numerous.
Mr. Hamblen We should teach
grammer from text books because it
preserves unity in our language. Wc
wiU'chnngo the present s)stm of teach
ing grammer when wc find it is not
good. We should adhere strictly to the
lext book used.
Prof Cooper was then requested to
spend ten minutes in telling how to teach
grammar Ho said, wc should know
hnw to spenk ami write so that we will
bo unmistakably understood. We can
talk but not write without difficulty,
therefore exercises in grammar should
be to a great extent in writing. We may
read a story for the pupi's to copy or
give them words from which to con
struct sentences
The following persons were then
elected as. n committee on permanent
certificates; Miss Addie Taylor, Mis
Sophia Coleman, and Messrs. J. B.
Alvord, B. C. Whacler, and L. D.
Rockwell.
The committee on resolutions then
reported and the following were adopted:
Wc the teachers of Elk county in

Resolved, 1st, That we recognize tho
claims upon ns of our countrv, our pos

2nd '1 hat since moral training nnd
instruction is necessary to develop the
highest order of men and women, we are
each bound by all that we hope to ac
complish; by all we shall be accountable
for, to keep ever before our pupils the
best moral precepts and examples, and
that all, especially directors, should
recognize in moral purity the first
recommendation of a teacher.
3d That the dignity of our profession
is not surpassed by that of any other;
that we. therefore, cflnnj in our work
and will use a'l available means to render
ourselves worthy of that dignity.

.J'T&H TO GO WEST."
Forty years ago Illinois was as far
West as most people wished to go, and
journey's were made in the legendary
"Prairie Schooner," but in these days
of Progress and Improvement, tho word
West has como to mean Iowa, Kansas,
Colorado, California and tho Territories,
and the Traveler reaches almost any
point therein by a splendid Lino of
Railroad.
This Lino of Railroad is tho Burling
on Route, which starts from Chicago
over tho Chicago, Burlington & Quiucy
R. R., from Indianapolis over tho In
dianapolis, Bloomington & Western
Short Line; and from Logansport, over
the Toledo, Peoria tfc Warsaw R. R.,
and running through Burlington, reaches
Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska City, St.
Joseph, Attchison, Leven worth and
Kansas City, connecting with the Union
Pacific, Kansas Pacific and other Rail
roads running from those cities.
Always go "By way of Burlington,"
and you will be sure to be right.
Tho Burlington Route has admirable
answered the question; "How to go
West?" by tho publication of a truthful
and interesting document, filled with
facts in regird to Time, Connections,
Accommodations, rates of Fare, and
other interesting items, and illustrated
by a large map, truthfully showing the
whole West, which they distribute free
of charge. Copies, and additional in
formation, can be obtained by address
