TIIE SCIiAXTON TIUIUTXE WEDNESDAY MOTCNTNG, OCTOBER 31, 1894. PHILOSOPBriff TEACHING Instructors EndeavoritiQ to Lead Our Teachers Up to Higher Ideals. IDEAS ADVANCED BY DR. WHITE ocs Not Bcllcvo In tho Use of Prize Tick ets as Incentives to Pupils to Do Better Work-Professor Albert on Literature. The second day of the teachers' Insti tute proved a profitable one. At Young Men's Christian association hall Professor Newton instructed the teach ers with regard to music and practical talks on topics of interest to the teach ers were delivered by Dr. E. OramLyte, Miss L. E. Partridge, Professor C. II. Albert and Dr. White. At the court house the county teach ers were In Bession and had Dr. Lyte and Professor Albert for instructors. Professor Eppsteln spoke about music and gave' many hints that would be valuable to the teachers in instilling Into the minds of their pupils an ele mentary knowledge of music. During the morning sessions of both Institutes the- teachers were divided Into grades and Instruction given on the particular line of work in which they are engaged. WOKK OF CITY TEACHERS. Instructors That Appeared Before Them at Yesterday's Sessions. The city teachers were in their seats promptly 'at 9 o'clock at yesterday niurning a session, ur. U. K. Robinson, pastor of the Second Presbyterian cnurcn, delivered the invocation and then Mr. Newton went on to tell what a child ought to know at certain aces. At 6 he ought to know the scale at every milestone in the child's life until he reaches fifteen. Mr. Newton has a branch of music that should be mas tered by the child. Professor Albro, who had spoken the previous ' day on his Junketing tours of the northwest. resumed his subject and entertained tho teachers for an hour with accounts of his travels. Dr. E. Oram Lyte, of MUlersville, ppoke on "Mental Diseases of Child ren." He said that children have very ptrong Imaginations and sometimes they say things that are considered untruths when they really are only childish dreams. The rest of his discourse was occupied in telling how diseases of the mind can be cured. Miss L. E. Partridge addressed one part of the Institute on "Conversation LeBsons," while the remainder ad Journed to the left parlor of the Young Men's Christian association rooms and listened to a talk on geography by Pro fessor Albert, of Bloumsburg. The afternoon session began with a short Instruction in the tonic solfa sys tern of music. The teachers have shown an aptitude and Mr: Newton feels well pleased at the progress made. He promises to bring the teachers in a week to the stage In sight reading "that will enable them to go to their schools and instruct their pupils In the system. Mr. Newton sang tho trying solo, "Sweet Charity," with rare skill and was en thuslastlcally applauded. Professor Albert on Literature. Professor C. H. Albert, of Blooms- burg, took up. the next hour with i practical talk on "Pure Literature.' He is a member of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, of which Anthony Comstock Is secretary, and feels proud to say it. After he had dined yesterday, in walk around the city and an Inspec tion of the shopwlndows he noticed more than a thousand books advertised for sale which 'he would take to the street and build a bon-flre of them if he had the privilege. The .end of edu cation is to produce in every child t refined and chaste life. Science has de clared that a child born of Illiterate ancestry 'and -living- in the environ' ments of vice cannot be morally pure. wen. though the child Is educated. When books of Immoral character aro left to children to read It unfolds an atmosphere of banefulness that cannot be fully comprehended In Its poisonous effect on the mind of the child. The purpose of teaching in the schools Is to bring out the reilned qual Hies of young men and women. It Is a sad observation the stranger has to make in any city when he sees court house worth $100,000, and not far away from It a school house not worth over $500. The teacher and the parents should over-see the books that children are allowed to read. If the fact were traced back to Its source he believed that the cause of the crime and miBery of the country arises from reuding bad books. Gymnastic Exhibition. After an intermission of ten minutes Physical Director Weston, of the Young Mens Christian association gymna' slum, and four members gave an ox hibltlon in gymnastic exercises that highly pleased the teachers. Mr. WeS' ton announced that this afternoon he would give an exhibition of his exer cises and invited all the teachers to participate. Dr. White's subject on school Incen tlves took up the remainder of the afternoon. He said he would rather have a child of his whipped Into a duty rather than appealed to In a' manner that would not awaken right feelings, when right feelings are awakened in a boy those feelings go out into right conduct. A boy's feelings are played upon by the mind. You can not tell a boy to love you, you can not order him, but you can excite and if you are skilled you can awaken in him this ' passion. Awakening right feelings in a boy is not done by artificial systems Then Dx, White went on to enumerate methods that are prejudicial. He con demned the prize system, merit tickets and kindred devices. These engender a spirit of rivalry. But there is an other system that is not so bad, that is giving prizes to all pupllB who reach a certain standard. This does not breed rivalry, but still It is not a worthy sys' tern to use among the list of school incentives. However, he favored artificial meth ods where natural motives failed. In an unruly school, for instance, he would be In favor of granting pupils a half hour's recess who would be orderly for a certain length of time. When he found that he could dispense wltn that sys' tern of securing order he would use It no longer, and in like manner he would treat all other artificial devices. One rule he recommended, never use an ! A FAITHFUL SENTINEL" n quakdino oni or Vncim Sam's poktals RILAIE8 HIS KXPCRIEMCC I aVeoiury Department, V. S.

He had selected nine natural In centives and placed them in the form of a ladder. - Xinc Natural Incentives. The first Is good standing, not for ex celling, but maintaining a good stand ing in classes, deportment, etc: Appro bation is the Becond. To the young teacher he said, "give ten words of praise to one of criticism, not flattery, out nonest commendation. No matter how unruly the boy may be there Is a tender spot In his heart and some good he may do if appreciated will unlock that spot and do more to reclaim him than ages of punishment. ivnowieage, a desire for, it is the fourth. Efficiency la the fifth Evwv child likes to do that which he can do well. Self control and a desire for fu ture usefulness are two strong incen tives. Too many of our schools close their windows to outdoor life and do not give the boys a chance to form an Idea of real life. The three senses, of honor, right and duty, are the last moral Incentives. AT TIIE COURT HOUSE. Lectures Delivered there for the Benefit of tho Countv Teachers. The morning seslon at the opened at 9 a. m when Professor Epp- Biein continued his lecture on music ueanng wun tlmo and accents on meas ures.

Professor Charles II. Albert, of Bloomsburg State Normal school, ad dressed the teachers In court room No 2 on "History," and urged that history and geography be taught concurrently and efforts should be made to grasp tne connection In all events between the historical and geographical aspects, Address by Dr. White. Dr. E. E. White then addressed all of the teachers upon the "Three Princl pies of Application," and asked the fol lowing questions: Is there a principle or law of the understanding for the development of knowledge, or the de velopment of power, or acquisition of skill .' No one can explain what knowl edge. All knowledge acquired by pu pils was the result of the activity of the pupil's mind and not of the teacher's. Successful teuching depended upon the power of the teacher to awaken an in terest in the pupil's mind, and if they had not the power to mould the minds of their pupils Into such a receptive state to eventually lead them Into ac tivlty of mind. Dr. S. H. Albro gave an address upon inspiration. - inspired men were ia rarity, thein souls were fulled with great truths, which Inspire and control them, truths they feel that they are compelled to express, and although these truths be expressed in different ways, they are all In the name of truth, and make the inspired men the leaders of the day In their age. Inspiration was the great want in teachers and they could never succeed unless they had the spirit of Inspiration. During the Afternoon. The afternoon session opened with another lecture by Professor Eppsteln upon music. The professor Is an ar dent supporter of the "tonic solfa" sys tern for the elementary lessons, but claims that It lacks the essential points whereby It can be dovetailed to the old notation principles. In reply to i Tribune reporter he admitted that mu sical publishers did not make a rule of publishing "tonic solfa" music, and this was. a great hindrance In Itself to the development of the system. The great fault of the professor s leC' tures are their brevity, as only about twenty minutes are alloted for each lec ture and, ordinarily, It requires almost all this time to "warm up" the pupils for tho work. Dr, E. O. Lyte, principal 'of the MUlersville State Normal Bchool, deliv ered an addresB upon "Language," and spoke upon "hearing, talking, silent eading, oral readlngand writing, lacn of these points served as subjects of catechism, and their relative positions were explained at length to his audi ence. He strongly advocated oral read ing at home, inasmuch as it was taught most and what they practised least. With regard to the training of the ear he deprecated the use of the "don, ray, me," of the tonic solfa system, as they were merely signs and there was nothing equivalent in the mind. Any person who could aistinguisn Between the tolling of the court house bell and the pitch of his voice had some ele ments to qualify him to teach vocal music. The eyes should be trained to perceive the difference In forms. The End of Education. Professor Albert delivered an Inter csting .lecture on "Language and Un folding, ana said mat tne end o education was a reformed, pure and chaste life. The object of education should not be a condition of growing as much as con ditlon of growth.' Education was fun damentally a' mental process or the mind and not of the body and there was a vast difference between educa tlon and training. NOTES OF TIIE INSTITUTES. Miss Mary C. Monies, of No. 28 school Is the accompahlst at the singing In the teachers' Institutes. If a vote were taken to decide who Is the handsomest lady teacher the first prize would have to be divided among too many. The book agent Is an adjunct of the Institutes that would be better appre elated as an Imaginary attribute rather than a reality. Miss L. E. Penman, the polished principal of No. 3 school, Is not sparing her energy In the capable assistance she lends to Superintendent Phillips, Various complimentary remarkswere made vesterday upon the excellent or der maintained by the hundreds of vounc ladies at the county Institute, and the splendid attention given . to the various lectures. Thirnn O.

The competi tlon was confined to teachers, the es says to be handed in at the institute Professor Eppsteln relates an lncl dent which reflects great credit on th Scranton newsboys. He purchased paper from Charlie Rlceman, one of the street venders of newspapers, and handed him, as he thought, Ave pen nles. Soon after Charlie came to the hotel and made inquiries after the pro' fessor, but could not locate him. Sev eral hours later he met him on the street and said: "Aren't you the man who bought a paper off me?" The pro fessor replied, "l guess so, why? "What did you give me?" queried the' Juvenile paper merchant. "Five pen nles, I think," was the answer. "No, It wasn't," was the rejolnder,"lt was four pennies and a $5 piece. Here's your gold piece, give me the penny." The professor had not missed the piece un til the boy called his attention to it In this abrupt manner, and it wag with some difficulty that he prevailed upon tne ooy xo accept a reward ror ms iion esty.

AS INTERFERED KITH 0RK on Storch Colliery Will Be Idle Again To- doy in Consequence of tho Trouble Portion of tho Cayuga Culm Pile Settled Yesterday. The ground in the district about the Brlsbln and Cayuga collieries continue to settle yesterday and created much uneasiness among property owners who fear that additional damages will be done' before the caving that Is going on In the worked-out veins beneath the surface of. the earth subsides. About 100 acres are affected. Com petent mine authorities say that but little more damage will be done, as there ls-not mucTi likelihood of the cave extending beyond the confines of the district already affected. ' The squeezing and rumbling could be distinctly heard in the Von Storch. Cayuga and Brlsbln mines yesterday and work had to be abandoned In the portions of the workings of these col lieries contingent to the cave. It has not yet been deemed safe to make an examination of the workings about where the cave occurred, but it may be done today if the squeezing stops. As a precedent against possible acci dent there will be no work in the Von Storch mine today. The western cor ner of the Cayuga culm pile sank yes terday and .there was , a noticeable widening of many of the cracks In the earth. LETTERS FROM TIIE PEOPLE. (Under this heading short letters of ia terest will be published when accompa nied, for publication, by the writer's name. Tho Tribune will not be held re sponsible for opinions here expressed.) LABOR'S FALSE FRIEND. Editor of The Tribune. Bir I tie Democratic candidate for ron- cneuuuive in me fourth legislative dls ti'ii't is M. T. llurke. Ho has done con siderable cryir.g ever since he became the nominee. In last Friday's Issues of the Leader and Herald he came out with his record on the free text book bill, over the ignatures of three of our most vHtimnhlM and worthy citizens. He must have gone to much pulns as well as labor to trv to convince the investigators that he whs truly great, and that he was a very much wronged man. It Is true that he did not vote in the ainrmntive on the bill on Its final reading in the house, though the eeord he oroduces does buv so on nam ,2(10. The secretary of the house savs It is wrong If the records show It. But, for the suke of argument, let thl3 pass. Let us say he did vote for It and give him all tne nonors ana more than all rightfully one mm. we can yet unci abundant rea son why he should be defeated. Suppose, for Instance, we review his record as a Knight of Lnbor, "the work lngman's friend." Immediately after Mr, Burke became secretary of District 16 of the Knights of Labor he stopped working. He soon became a teacher in the public schools In Carbomlule townwhlp. While in that capacity he was almost semi monthly called to ofllclate at the meeting of the board. Ivor thlB service he re ceived 15 a day and expenses. When not at his duties as toucher It was necessary that he should procure some person to take his place. (For tho position of teacher he received tii a month). He gut very capable young lady and to hor, It Is said, he gave the large sum of ?1 day. thus making as a profit 17.25 a day. Instead of giving the lady who more than filled his boots " S3.2u which was due her providing ha had the Interest of labor at heart, he 1b said to have given her that miserable pittance of fl a day and took a rake-off of $2.26 per diem. Headers and Democrats, Is he a true Knight of Labor! Not only has he done this, but on sev eral occasions haa he stumped the ticket and elected the Kepubllcan candidate, Ha has lived on the blood of the public for the last ten years, and will try to continue if enough rope Is given him There Is a vast difference between voting for a chronic ofllce senker like Burke and casting your ballot for a young man, sin cere, honest and trustworthy, like C. P. O'Malley, who is a young man in the prime of life, you may say without penny, seeking to make a mime for him self so that his friends and ramlly In the future may look upon him with pride and be thankful that he was one of theirs. O'Malley, though young, In our estima tion, is one hundred times more able than our present representative. Me is not a Dollcv man and cannot be found on both Bides of a question, pleading ' with equal facl lty and earnestness. He is too non est to try to be a Bociety man so as to further his own ends. Mr. Burke wlth ont a doubt would- Join every organiza tion known, if allowed, bo that he might be kept Idly doing nothing but live on the fat of the public. If he dare contradict my statements and give mo ample time to refute his, I will be only too pleased to let the voters of the vourtn legislative district know more of him and what he thinks of the worklngmen. . J. Burke. Carbondale, Oct. 30. MR. BURKE'S VOTE. Here's a Card from .Mr. FIcltz, the Journal . Clerk of the House. To the editor of the Carbondale Leader: In answer to many Inquiries and in the Interest of justice and fair play to all parties I am constrained to make the following statement, and knowing the impartial course uniformly pursued by you and your valuable pa per, I rely upon you to make it public. My duties as Journal clerk of the house of representatives at Harrisburg necessitate my actual presence at every session In order to watch and note the oflicialacU and votes of every member, and the result of my labors compiled make the Journal, theonly official record of the house. '-In the performance of my duty, I was at my desk;, on the floor of the house on the afternoon of Tuesday March 28, 1893, when house bill No, 75, better known as "The free text book bill," was before the body for action, and on the question "Shall the bill pass finally? the roll call Bhows that 142 votes were cast In the affirmative and 33 votes In the negative. Among those who voted against the measure on Its final passage was Hon. M. T. Burke, of the Fourth legislative district of Lack awanna County. By referring to pages 864 and S65 of the House Journal, the vote will be found at length. On May 9. the bill was again before the houHe, hbvlng been returned from the senate with -amendments, but the only ques tlon before the house was "Will the house concur the senate amendments?' On that question Mr. Burke, together Babies and rapidly growing children derive more benefit from Scott's Ernuision.than all the rest of the food they ' eat.

BOoitml$1, Scott's Emulsion with every other member of the house with three exceptions, voted to concur In the senate amendments. It seems that Mr. Burke Is Inclined to take ad vantage of a typographical error In the Legislative Record, a notoriously In accurate, as well as unofficial publica tion, which, on page 1206, substitutes the vote on house bill No. 135 for the vote on the house bill. No. 75,- while on the opposite page, 1207, under the cap tion of "Vote on House uiu no. 76," it gives the real vote on the "free text book bill." I have no personal Interest In this controversy, neither have I any inclina tion to discuss the bill itself, but as a lover of fair play and Justice, I think that the people of the Fourth legislative district should know "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" concerning this matter. If Mr. Burke and his friends desire more light on this subject, I am pre pared to furnish it. Fred W. Fleitz, Journal clerk of tne nouse or repre sentatives. Scranton, Oct. 27.
