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

Professor Charles II. Albert, of
Bloomsburg State Normal school, ad
dressed the teachers In court room No

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.

Scranton newsboys. He purchased
paper from Charlie Rlceman, one of the

hotel and made inquiries after the pro'
fessor, but could not locate him. Sev

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'

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?'

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,
