He also touched upon other points of interest to the teachers, after which he appointed J). C. Irwin, R. J. Thompson and J. W. Eldred ushers for the evening session. A quartette then sang a pretty seles tion, entitled "Beautiful Eden," with tine effect. Supt.

Ruub, principal of the Central State Normal School at Lock Haven, who spoke eloquently and well for about mi hour on "Self Help." We have nether time nor room to dilute upon the le.tture, or to touch in detail upon the points that were made. Sullice it to say that it was replete with good sense, good humor und practical knowledge. The exercises of the euening were closed with a jubilee song by Misses Gresh and Squier, Prof. Risiiell and Dr. Hartley, entitled "My Way is Clouded." TUESDAY MoHNING. The Institute met at t) o'clock, and was opened wilh the Lord's player. Prof. Rauhtouii up "Grammar An alysis," wnieii was most exhaustive and instructive. Taking up eignt of the parts of speech, he showed how Uie noun, pronoun, verb, adjective and advero are modified nnd took the j, round that a preposition, conjunction and interjectiou are never modified, dating tout with reterence to the preposition lie was combatting what is generally considered good author ity, lie then laid down -these prop ositus. The modifiers of nouns and pro nouns are always adjective elements. The modifiers of adjective and ad verbs are adverbial eienient. The direct object of a transitive verb, active voice, is an objective element. Ail other moUiliers of verbs are ad verbial elements. Articles, prepositions, conjunction, interjections, are never modiiied. An intermission of liitccii minutes was tuKcn at the close of Prof. Raub's talk. Upon being called to order again the Institute sang a selection from "Pure Gold," Miss Jennie Gresh pre siding at the organ. A uiscusaioii upon "Advantages of Oral Teaching," was opened by Mr. R. J Tuouipsoii, and participated iu by J. W. Eldred, Prof. Risheiluud A. W. Mulhollaiid.

Earl, Prof. RUhell, J. W. Eldred, Prof. Johnson and Supt. Dixon, the con clusion readied being that both oral und "written methods, if used in their proper sphere or proportion, possess great advantages. Prof. Raub took up the subject of "Primary Teaching," und urgued strongly against sending children to school too young. Six years he said was entirely too young. As for him self he would not permh u child of his to enter school eurlier than eight or nine. He gave an instance of a young man who did not enter school until he was ten, and graduated in a Stute normal school at fifteen. With re ference to the length of the day ses sion, he thought they should be short ened and mentioned the fact that the Meadville prinriry schools were kept open but three hours a day. The Institute then took a recess of ten minutes. After recess t lie Institute took up the subject, "General Lessons Their Importance and Character," which was discussed by Prof. Rishell, at the close of whoso remarks the county superintendent suggested that the sub ject lie again taken up at the informal meeting at 8.30 to-morrow morning.

Hartley and Rishell. Prof. II. S. Jones, of Erie, was then introduced, and delivered his lecture entitled "Africa iu chalk," the finds of which were drawn principally, if not entirely from Stanley's works on that comparatively unknown country. The lecture was copiously illustrated on the blackboard by Prof. Jones iu ids inimitable way, who it is claimed, is t he equal of Thomas Nasi as a cari caturist. Then followed nnofher selection, entitled 'Watching and Waiting for Me,'' at the conclusion of which the county supt. stated that Todd Ford, who was announced to lecture to-morrow (Wednesday) evening had writ ten him that, being recently married lie would like to be excused from ful filling his engagement, and that he had excused him and secured the services of Rev.

The Institute was called to order at 1:30 by the county fiipt. "Elements of Success in Teaching" was opened by Daniel Irwin, wiio gave it as his opinion that reasoning faculties and determination are neces sary. Emmet Hoveiieainp thought that order and a knowledge of human nature arc necessary. Mr. Fee said it is necessary that you should be sure you are right and then go ahead. Prof. Johnson thought that character and decision are necessary Mr. Mullhol land said give your scholars plenty to do, and keep them busy. Prof. Raub entered upon a discus sion of the subject of "Primary Read ing'' and brought out a number of good points. Among other things, lie said that If we teach reading iu the fiist, second and third readers well, we have done a grand work. He thought that the sum of good reading consists of 1. Reading intelligently. 2. Reading intelligibly. 3. Reading attractively. He thought that the pupil should, liketheFrcnch.read silently (or intelli gently) first, and aloud (oriutelligiblyj lusl.

Prof. Jones contrasted Ideas with words, showing, first how few of Ihe former we have as compared with the latter, and second, how little we teach ideas in the school room. After announcing the arrival of Rev. Jessee B. Young, the lecturer of the evening, anil urging the teachers and others to come out to the lecture this evening, .Supt. Dixon adjourned the Institute ut 3:40. WEDNESDAY EVENING. . The Institute was called to order in the M. E. church at 7:45 by Supt. Dixon, who announced the first exer cise to lie n vocal selection, entitled "Swallow, Happy Swallow," by Miss Jennie Gresh and the Misses Squier, which was very pretty. Rev. Jesse B Young, the lecturer of the evening was then introduced, who took up the interesting theme of "Echoes from Round Top.'" Begin ning by outlining the position ol the armies of Hooker and Lee as they lay on the Rappahannock, he traced the march of both from that point to Gettysburg, which lie did with the aid of a finely-executed map of the country through which they passed. He then took up the story of that dnguimtry Held and described in detail the movements of the several forces and the result of each day's con flict, not forgetting, of course, to nar rate the circumstances attending the death of the gallant Reynolds, and to pay a high tribute to ids memory. Wilh beautiful language he portrayed the manifold horrors of war, and us a relief to the dark and bloody picture, interspersed it with humorous anec dotes of the bivouac, the inarch, and the forage. It was a rich (real, indeed, to sit and listen to an actor in that memorable conflict relate with elo quence and fervor the story of those three long and bloody days of anxiety, hope and fear. His voice was fine, his manner earnest and impressive, and his language eloquent ami thrilling. The apostrophe uttered in conclusion, to his comrades who laid down their lives that the union might be perpet uated, was as line an outburst of pa thetic word-painting as we have ever heard. It Is such a lecture as every man,, woman and child in the laud should hear, as it illustrates the liner qualities of the human heart. At the conclusion of tlie lecture two vocal selections, "Jamie'' and "Steal Away," were finely rendered, when tlie Institute adjourned. THURSDAY MORNING. The Institute was called to order by Supt. Dixoil, and opened with the Lord's prayer. The question fiCMotvcd, That general information is an indispensable qualification of a toucher, and should be established by law as a branch and marked in the certificate, Was ably argued by Messrs. Rishell, Thompson, Dixon, . Mulholland and Eldred. The conclusion was reached that general information shorld be brought into tlie questions on history, gram mar, etc,., but should not be marked as a branch on the certificate. Profs. Rishell, Johnson, Mulholland, Lenig, and Mrs. Johnson were ap- 'potnted a committee on permanent certificates. Prof. Raub then instructed the In stitute on "Grammar," including tlie use of the apostrophe. The apostro phe is used to denote the omission of letters, abridgement, and the posses sive case. Essay by Miss EfTie Butler, Subject "I looming the culiara, winch was a line effort. A short recess was then taken, after winch Rev. Jesse J!, louiig, gave an interesting talk on "Cultivation of the Memory," in which lie stated that a little hoy once said that "he had a very joor meinnrg,'jUut a very good forgittcrij." In conclusion, he laid down the followiii'' rules to aid in tlie cultivation of the memory: 1. Mind. 2. Enter into with interest. 3. Mnemonics. 4. Observe order. 5. Review. G.

Then followed addresses by Dr Stnesslcy and Prof. Raub with refer ence to the relations which school di rectors bear to the schools, Dr. Williams then sang with fine eilect a song entitled "A Leap lor Life." Prof. Owen talked logically and well upon "Millstones," showing tlie nu inerous drawbacks which operate to retard the progress of our common schools. After another song by Dr. Williams, Rev. Young gave a treatise in 'Geog raphy," in which lie l id down the following rules 1. Point toward localities. 2. Locate current events on map. 3. Use maps in travelling. 4. Connect history und geography. 6. Use the globe. 6. Study Bible geography.

The Institute was called to order at 8 o'clock by t he county su peri n ten den t Music "When the Rippling stream- e:s Flow," by Misses Heaiy and Kline Col. Sanford was then Introduced In complimentary languoge by Supt. Dixon. Instead of plunging at once into bis subject, "Old Times and New," as Is the usual custom, the colonel went Into a humorous Intro duction of himself, which worked the audience into perfect good humor. Tliis done, he took up his subject, and for one hour und forty minutes held the undivided attention of his hearers. From his -home lie took his hearers across the Atlantic to Westminster Abbey, thence to Rome, Athens, Pal estine, Egypt, China, Pompeii, and, in fact to every country under the sun except Australia, Patagonia and New Zealand. Taking up the ancient won ders of each, he depicted the marvel lous achievements of three and four thousand years ago, and showed most conclusive that in many rospecs they were far in advance of this boasted era of cnlightcment the rinctccnth cen tury, not forgetting the while to inter lard his surprising statements of fact wilh scintillations of wit and flashes of humor. After devoting an hour and twenty minutes to showing the upcriorit.y of past ages in many branches of art and science, and pretty thoroughly satisfying his audience of tlie truthfulness of the saying, There's nothing new uudcr the sun," e laid aside the old times and turned his attention to the new, and in a few moments demonstrated clearly that although in many respects we of. the present day are far behind those of two or three thousand vears ago, in others we are far in advance of them, and have this advantage over them, that our inventions are more wonderful and more useful to the world than the pyramids of Egypt, the wall of China, or the catacombs. Among other won- lers of this century be mentioned the sewing machine, the railway, tiie lo comotive, the electric telegraph, the telcpiione and the phonograph, none of which the ancients had. Having finished the comparison between the old and the new. he paid a irlowinsr tribute to the greatness and glory of our country and her institutions, and took his scut amid hearty applause. We need hardly say that the audi ence were pleased. Indeed, they were more they were dcligl led. They laughed and wondered, and wondered ind laughed alternately during the en tire evening, ami received impressions that will not soon be forgotten. Miss Florence Osterhout played and sang with line eheel a ballad entitled The Rose Blush," which was fol lowed with a duett by Dr. Hartley and Miss Squier, entitled "Who's to Blame," at the conclusion ot which the Institute was dismissed. l-'RIDAY MOIcNING.

Supt Dixon then introduced Col. Sanford, who talked charmingly and forcibly to the teachers upon the luties of their life-work, the effort being warmly applauded. Prof. Rishell, as chairman of the committee on resolutions, made the following report. Iivttotrtd, That our thanks are here by warmly tendered to Dr. A. N. Raub, Prof. H. S. Jones, Rev. J. B.
