Dur.more Suburban cars up r ranklln

report could not be verified at the oiilces
of the company yesterday, alt'houfi'h the
siiatt-mont was made iby Superintendent
Fox that Franklin uvenue would be

rumor probably was given credence by
the ftreet work of the company on

however. Is preparatory to paving

Teachers Discus Coinposiiion.
After Professor J. A. Sprcnkel con
ducted the musical exorcises at the
opening of the Institute yesterday
morning the teachers divided, tho pt in
clpala going into No. 2 court rocm, and
the prlmury and Intermediate grades
of teachers remaining in No. 1 court
room.
MIhs Carrie A. Kenyon, of Elakely,
read before the principals a paper on
composition work In the higher grades,
unu a discussion ensued on this tuple.
Professors F. It. Coyne of Old Forge:
W. A. Peck, of Moscow, and F. C. Hnn
yon, of Waverly, entsred into tho dis
cussion. The Ideas set forth In the
paper and in the discussion were that
composition should be made a part
of the solution of examples In mathe
matics, that lessons wherever possible
ougnt to be written out.
In the main court room Miss McClos
key was the first lecturer and her topic
was on rending. She taurht how read
Ing should l o arranged so ns to bring
about the best results. The pupils
ought to be given a lesson to rend thnt
would interest them and suit their
tastes.
School nnd tho Children.
Professor Twltmeyer spoke on "What
the Schoeil Should Do for the Children.
It ought to furnlth them with physical,
mental and eplritual power. It ought
to give them an Inspiration for busi
ness in life; It should strengthen them
In their habits, engender habits of In
dustry and animate them to do their
best In all things they undertake no
matter what It may be. Pupils should
leave school with elevated nnd pure
Ideals and a rystematlc knowledge of
the country s history.
Miss McCloskey was heard a second
time, her subject belpg on numbers.
Next to reading and writing this
branch of fundamental education
should be taught for It makes pupils
think. The analytic nnd synthetic
methods are equally worthy. In teach
Ing numbers the teacher should take a
whole of something and then divide
and sub-divide It Into parts. Or by
taking many parts arrange them to
combine and form one whole.
Dr. Gordy concluded the morning ses
sion with a talk on history. Monde y
afternoon In his talk on this subject he
dwelt upon the character of Alexander
Hamilton. Yesterday he took up the
life of Thomas Jefferson and brought
out prominently the relative positions
occupied by these men In the politics
and affairs of state of the nation. He
said that a person could easlly see It
clear to respect both men, although
thev were diametrically opposed as to
policy, because both were sincere in
their views.
Leading Trulls of tho Men.
Love of a stab)" government wns the
leading trait of Hamilton and love of
liberty wns the one most prominent
with Jefferson. The latter would pre
fer newspapers before government
for society; rather have society with
out government than without newspa
pers. The afternoon session was called to
order at 2 o'clock by Superintendent
Taylor. He introduced Professor
Sprenkel, the conductor of music, who
led the teachers through a short musical
exercise before they were called to de
vote their attention to the more ab
stract studies of the nftornoon.
A transposition was made In the, pro
gramme with regard to the time Pro
fessor Twltmyer was to deliver his lec
ture on botany. This topic was con
tinued until later In the afternoon.
Itev. Elkanah Hulley, professor of
Greek In Keystone academy, wns heard
on the subject of moral education.
Thnt a school room may bo In good
order is no Indicntion, ho said, thnt
the moral sense of the pupils Is well
trained. A dog does not refrnln from
stealing Its mnster's meat through any
moral compunction that It may have
against the sin of theft. The brute
knows that punishment will follow If it
does something not right. The dog
learns, not from any moral precept, but
from experience.
Appeal to tho Moral Nature.
This may be the way with some pu
pils. The teacher may hnve carried the
laws of discipline to the extent thnt
the children are afraid to violate any
of. the principles of the school room,
nnd as a consequence the best of order
Is maintained. The speaker decried
against this method of keeping the
school room quiet, and advocated an
nppeal to the moral nature of the chil
dren. This nppoal applies also to the
pupils In their studies. There are some
who copy their lessons from their com
panions. They do this because they
fear that it Is a sin to go to their classes
without knowing the lesson. Rev. Mr.
Hulley recommended that the teach
ers impress upon the pupils thnt It Is
more manful to omit not lenrnlng a
lesson and to admit not knowing It
than to rely on copying it from another.
Professor Twltmyer was next heard
on botany. He dissected figuratively,
flowers, seeds and plants and showed t
his audience how Interesting this ap
parently dry study may become. The
Btudy of botany brings the student In
touch with nature and cultures one's
observation which is a potent factor
of tho mind.
Professor Sprenkel conducted mu
sical exercises for a few minutes and
the teachers sang "America," "Never
Say Fall" and other selections.
Talk on Psychology.
Dr. Gordy concluded with a brief talk
on psychology and education. In all
matters the teacher should address
himself to the mind of the pupil.
Superintendent Taylor announced
that he had appointed the following
committees on local Institute work:
First district, Greenfield, Fell and Car
bondale townships Ida A. White, P. 8.

The first of the evening lectures of the
county teachers' institute was deliv
er'! fjYoung Men's Christian Associa
tion titfll last evening. lAn attendance
not representing teaehers alone was
present; there -was noticed a large
rprlnkllng cf clergymen, 'Physicians,
attorneys-at-law and business men.
Rev. Walter Q. Scott. D. D., formerly
president of the Ohio State unlverrlty,
was Vhe lecturer. Before he had ex
pressed a dozen sentences his audience
was assured of a rich Intellectual treat
and he r poke In an uninterrupted strain
for an 'hour arjd a, half.
His sulbject was "Julius Caesar," and
he almost apotheoslsed the great
Roman conqueror. In all the world, he
said, there have been but two men
who were worthy'of notice In the same
category wlrlh Caesar; these were Alex
ander and Napoleon. The former died
a drunken death and the Utter ended
his day 1tl lg-nomlnlouii exile; but
CaeMtr, Uie central figure of twelve
centuries, died a tab) poet In the con.
rul chamber, clal.n by the aasaaslu'a
hand.
Dr. Seott was pleased to characterize

Ca'.o. an oIC fool; Catiline, a E-heming
villain, Rolr..j ai.sut with law-breakers

The populace wns fast decimating
Into the most n'ojcct slavery or becom

Ftudled the science of aims under

It Is an Insult to tho rehool boy's. intel

-by the Cleveland chamber of
