INSTRUCTING THE
COUNTY TEACHERS
Given New Ideas with Retard to In
parting Instruction totbejfouof.
TWO MEETINGS LN THE MORNING
Grammar Teachers Met in One Place
and Primary and Intermediate
Teachers in Anothcr--Tnlki by
Prof. Redway, Dr. Holbrook and
Superintendent Conghlin in the
AftcrnoonTlio Entertainment in
the Evening.
A good deal of earnest work was
done at the county institute yesterday.
In the morning the teachers divided,
those in the grammar grades holding
one meeting and those in the primary
nnd Intermediate grades another. This
was done to more equally lit the -n-struetion
to the work the teachers are
engaged In.
Tho morning session opened with
music led by Professor H. K. Cogswell,
who afterwards again emphasized the
great need of considering the thought
In words that expression and feeting
may be the chief factors in song. Then
the division of the teachers took place.
Pr.A.'ssor N. T. Houser, superintendent
of the Dunmore schools, led the gram
mar teachers Into one of the parlors
where he presided over their meeting.
A paper was read by Parke Richards
on "Why Should We Educate," which
drew forth a spirited discussion, par
ticipated in by F. L. Thompson, of
Dalton, Superintendent Houser and
Miss Mary J. Mi-Hale, of Olyphant.
"Teacher or Text Hook Which?" was
the subject of a paper read by Miss
Mary C. Barrett, of Cnrbondale. A
talk by Dr. Mara L. Pratt on "United
States History" closed the session.
Teachers In the primary nnd inter
mediate grndes remained in Young
Men's Christian Association hall,
where Superintendent Conghlin, of the
.Wllkes-Uarre schools, spoke to them
about language study. He favored
phonetic study for the young child
thut It may acquire an accurate and
clenr articulation which will be of
great service In obtaining a vocabu
lary. Expression in reading should be
carefully tnttght, as it Is the best
means of enabling the pupil to state a
fact clearly, accurately and distinct
ly. The tlrst step In the study of lan
guage should be to make the pupil
comprehend a fact in ail of Its phases
and in Its entire significance, and he
advised that the first lessons be In the
nature of talks, lending the child step
by step to express his ideas in a clear,
stralghtfeirward way. Following this
the child should be directed to describe
things In an orderly, systematic way.
which Is necessary to make a descrip
tion clear and Interesting.
GRADUAL PROGRESS.
Step by step the pupil can be led
along this path during the first year
at school nnd In the second year he ad
vised the policy of having the child
make on accurate copy from tho print
ed page. Nothing should be done with
out a purpose, and tho compositions
nnd copying of the children should be
treated as though they were of Im
portance. For instance, when the
child has copied something or written
a composition they should not be asked
to wipe It out nnd re-wrlto It, for the
teacher will not be long able to obtain
the best effort of the child by ottering
such discouragements. The next stop
should be the correction of the vocabu
lary of the child. To further stimulate
the child he would have them recall
thoughts from tin? written exercise. He
would have the children write In sim
ple sentences. The children should he
early taught to use their own language
and not the language of the books.
The teachers sang "Oh Fair Little
Pansy lilossom" under the direction of
Professor Cogswell, nnd Professor Red
way then addressed the teachers on
"Beginning (leogrnphy." He Is a firm
advocate of throwing earnestness and
Interest Into teaching nnd said the
teacher should look at geography as
the description of the abiding place of
man. So long ns only the shell of
peegrnphy is considered by the teacher
his work is a waste of time and labor.
Make the study practical, bring home
Its application to the pupil, and vou
will make real progress and awaken
nn Interest In the study of geography
which you never dreamed of. "We
must." he said, "crowd economies
geography Into the lessons nnd discuss
the earth as the habitation of man;
tho place where all man's wants are
provided for."
All of the teachers again met In tho
main court room and listened to a talk
on "Pedagogy" by H. Reber Holbrook,
Ph. D., professor of pedagogy In Clari
on State Normal school. The mind the
teacher has to deal with, he said, is a
germ of the divine in process of con
scious growth, whose unfolding and
development will be largely Influenced
by the character of the teacher anil
the nature of the Instruction imparted.
The mind Is not only a conscious
growth, but a self-active growth. Some
teachers go on the theory that chil
dren's minds are not active, and that
they must furnish the activity. Tnev
should keep hands off. Nature Is ail
right, and human nature Is all right.
The heart of man Is naturally right; It
is a growth and It grows In the right
direction. According to Its nature it
is a working (5od, and it Is not the
province of the teacher to Improve
upon the work of God, but to work
with God. There Is a power working
outside of the teacher which the teach
er should work with.
IX THE AFTERNOON.
The teachers met at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon and after singing listened
to a talk by Professor Rodway on "The
Use of the Recitation," which he pre
faced by answering a number of tpjes
tions that nnd been asked him during
the noon recess. The recitation Pro
fessor Redway believes, should be used
as a means of assisting the pupil to
study. The questions and answers can
not all be remembered nor should they
be as they are only the means to an
end. The quiz exercise is very excellent
nnd very useful because It freshens the
recollection, but that Is not the main
point of the recitation. The object
should be to have the scholar grasp
the meat of the subject under consider
ation and be able to demonstrate his
knowledge of the questions put to him.
Teachers cannot get good results un
less they organize the subject In their
own minds and know exactly what they
are driving at. Ry pursuing such a
course they enforce the lesson they are
teaching on the pupil. It Is not so
much your purpose to find out If the
scholar has read the printed page of
the text book as to learn If he has
assimilated the knowledge It contains.
Professor Redway believes In conduct
ing recitations with open books If In
that way the Idea of the lesson can be
best Impressed on the pupil's mind.
Dr. Holbrook was the next Instructor,
and he again spoke on "Pedogogy." He
is an entertaining speaker, and suc
ceeds In making a very dry subject
decidedly Interesting. He does not be
lieve In worrying because pupils fall to
remember nil they are taught. They
should not be expected to do so.
"Vou can't make a growing mind,"
he said, "take any more than it can
take or any. more than It is hungry
for. It is a relief to me to come back
to some line of thought that will save
me from worrying lecause my pupils
do not remember everything I teach
them, and because I do not teach them
everything I think they ought to know.
To know consists of opening up a way
by which the soul may escape rather
than to oren a way for a light that Is
without to enter. It Is our business
not to nut our lives Into our pupils,
as some contend, but to develooe that
1 life which la within every human be
ing. What would you think of the
teacher who erred to put his lite Into
Shakespeare, Into Lowell or into Har
riet Beecher Stowe?"
Then taking up another phase of his
subject, -Dr. Holbrook said the mind
naturally enjoys growing right, and
when it does not It is evidence of a
condition that is not normal. It natur
ally grows right because the divine Is
In It. A short recess followed this talk.
TALK ON LANGUAGE.
One of the most practical talks of the
day was delivered by Superintendent
Coughlln, who took for his subject
"The Student's Vocabulary." He
maintained that one of the great ob
stacles that students have to contend
with in mastering any study is their
limited vocabulary. They do not know
the exact meaning of words, and there
fore necessarily fall to fully under
stand the lessons they study. He
urged that the study of words be made
a part of every recitation and that
teachers take special pains to incul
cate a love of words into their pupils.
At the conclusion of his address Su
perintendent Taylor said the address
would be cheap at $500 if the teachers
could only be made to put into prac
tice Professor Coughlln's suggestions..
The ilrst of the evening entertain
ments of the institute course was giv
en last night in the Young Men's Chris
tian Association hall. It was as Su
perintendent Taylor said In his Intro
ductory address a .new form of enter
tainment for most of the audience,
unique as a literary and artistic crea
tion. Alexander Black, author of the
play entitled "Miss Jerry," tells the
story himself. There are eighteen
characters in the three parts, some of
them requiring dialect In their por
trayal, and all of them with peculiari
ties and characteristics distinctly their
own.
Mr. Black In his descriptions of them
satisfies the auricular sense, but Is aid
ed In a true delineation of his creatures
by the numerous illustrations from life
size photographs, used to supply ges
ture, attitude, position, pose and re
pose, together with facial expressions
of love and hate, anger and Joy, sweet
ness of disposition, contempt, etc.
The pictorial features of the story
embrnced some very fine scenes of New
York life in Its streets and houses, an

MISS BRIGHT DISCHARGED.
Charge That She Kept a Home of II
Hcpnte Was Dismissed.
Harriet Bright, a gray-haired and
matronly looking woman of about CO
years, was yesterday arraigned before
Alderman Howe on the charge of keep
ing a house of ill repute on the boule
vard, near Throop. There was no evi
dence, however, to substantiate the
base allegation, and the case was dis
missed. Whether or not Miss Bright
intends to sue for defamation of char
acter was not disclosed.
The arrest was the result of a visit
of the young girl, whose disclosures to
the police after her rescue from a life
of shame, upon which she was begin
ning, last week, has caused tho raid
ing of two houses where she was har
bored and much uneasiness among the
men whom she numbered among her
Intimate friends. The Bright woman
admitted that the girl was at her house
one night, but as she was attired in a
bicycle costume and wore a veil, her
youth was not apparent. Had her age
and the other circumstances in her
case been known, she would not have
been admitted, Miss Bright says. To
show her honesty In the matter, she
agreed to go Into court and testify
against the men who brought the girl
there.
The father of the girl, who was the
prosecutor In the case, after hearing
this statement made no objection to
the case being dismissed, which dispo
sition was the only one left to the al
derman, as no evidence could be pro
dueed to show that there were any pro
ceedings at the Bright house which
would warrant him In holding her for
court.
TREASURY IS DEPLETED.
Board of Charities to Take Vigorous
Steps to Haise Money.
The regular meeting of the associated
board of charities was held last even
ing. The numerous applications for aid
during the year has kept the treasury
continuously depleted, and It was de
cided at the meeting to adopt vigorous
measures for the purpose of raising
more money.
A benefit will be given the associated
charities at Davis' theater, on Oct. 27,
end it is hoped that the public will
contribute liberally. A request will be
made to the dally and Sunday news
papers of Scranton to enclose A circular
appeal of the organization In one edi
tion of each paper. A donation of
twenty ladles' jackets from Goldsmith
Bros. & Co., was received with remarks
of approval.

PREPARING FOR THE JUBILEE
Afternoon Session's Principal Fea
' tnre Was the Discussion of the
8eqbiCeatennial to Be Commem
orated in lB08Interesting His-
torical Paper by Rev. Mr. Zizleman.
Services Held in Three Churches
in the Evening.
The business session of the Wllkes
Itarre conference of the Evangelical
Lutheran Minlsterium opened in the
Zlon Lutheran church, Mifflin avenue,
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
After devotional exercises had been
conducted by President Llndenstruth,
the routine business of the conference
was taken up. First was heard the re
ports of officers. President Llnden
struth In his review of the year report
ed very encouraging progress due to the
activity of the workers in this district.
He gave some wise counsel and offered
many valuable suggestions. The re
port was referred to a committee with
instructions to pass upon its sugges
tions and bring thoin up before the
conference Inter In the session. Rev.
J. O. Schlenker. English secretary and
treasurer. riported among other things
that there was $216 in hand for the
malntalnance of the North Scranton
mission which Is being supported by
voluntary contributions from the mem
bers of the conference. Revs. Dr. Tab
ert, Rltter.Kudcr, Longnere and Hen
Hath, and Messrs. Swnrts and Eberle,
were appointed a special committee to
look after the mission.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President. Rev. L. Llnden
struth, of Mauch Chunk; English sec
retary and treasurer, Rev. J. O. Schlen
ker, of Hazleton: German secretary,
Kev. J. W. Randolph, of Petersburg.
The committee appointed to consider
the matter of organizing a home and
foreign missionary society, reported
that such a society had been formed
since the last conference. Under the
head of "Sunday School Literature,"
there was an Interesting discussion on
the Sunday school lessons and lesson
helps and as a result the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That this Wllkes-Barre con
ference enters Its solemn protest against
the Individualism shown In the publication
of the Sunday School lessons and Lesson
Helps, In direct opposition to tho action
of the General Council, nnd the work
of Its committee In supplying the church
with proper Sunday literature, and fur
thermore that we caution all the Sunday
Schools of the conference against using
the Lesson Helps unauthorized by the
General Council.
The following committee was ap
pointed to carry out the resolution:
Rev. O. H. Frnbert, D. D., of Wilkes
Barre, and Rev. H. E. D. Senaker, of
Wllkes-Barre.
A press committee was appointed,
consisting of Rev. O. M. Scheldy and
Rev. A. L. Ramer. both of this city, af
ter which adjournment was had for
dinner.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session opened with
devotional exercises conducted by the
Rev. A. M. Strauss, of Lehlghton. The
sesqui-cetitenninl of the Minlsterium
of Pennsylvania, the lnrgest district
synod of the general council, received
considerable attention. The Pennsyl
vania minlsterium consists of ten dis
trict conferences and has a communi
cant membership of 120,000. It was or
ganized In 174S unel the jubilee of the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary
will be celebrated In 1S9S. Tho ques
tion of raising $150,0001 by thut time
evoked an Interesting and spirited dis
cussion. Rev. J. II. Kuder read a paper In
which he presented the following
points to be gained by the celebration
of the nnnlversary: First, the publica
tion of the history of each congrega
tion within the bounds of the confer
ence; second, the publication of a his
torical volume for-the conference and
ultimately a synodlcal one to be known
ns the memorial volume. The benefits
derived from such publications would
be a valuable volume for historical ref
erence; a means of instructing both
pastor and parishioners in the history
of their church; inspiration for histori
cal research; a sourco of revenue lor
the church's very important and vari
ous interests.
During the discussion Rev. P. F.
Zizelman. of Zion's church, rein ted the
earlier history of Lutheranism in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, In the
forties a Lutheran pastor held ser
vices In a Providence school house,
which building is yet In a good state
of preservation. In 1859-00 Rev. Na
than Yeager, of the Minlsterium of
Pennsylvania, held services in Scran
ton, Hyde Park, Providence, Archbald,
Ransom and Carbondale. In I860 Rev.
Mr. Zizelman came all the way from
San Antonio, Tex., the war having
made it uncongenial for him to remain
there any longer. He, with many oth
ers, was In great danger of being
lynched. Zlon s congregation on Mlf
flin avenue was organized In 1860.
Three German and three English con
gregations, If not more, have already
grown out of this organization.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
President Linde-nstruth's report was
next taken up and adopted item by
item.
Resolutions on the death of the Rev.
O. A. Struntz, well-known throughout
the whole synod, and a most zealous
Lutheran divine, were passed with a
rising vote.
The Slavonian congregation of Peck
vllle, the Polish, of Providence, the
German, of Carbondale, and the Eng
lish St. Paul's, of North Scranton re
ceived due attention, and two special
committees were appointed to look af
ter them.
Decided opposition to the present In
cumbent of the office of missionary
superintendent and the office itself was
manifested. It was alleged that owing
to his lack of active interest In North
Scranton that that mission is on the
point of abandonment. v
Revs. Kawalla and Tavel. both mem
bers of the Pittsburg synod, are In at
tendance, the former is about to take
charge of the Slavonians and the latter
of the Poles. Rev. M. Elsinger will
probably be stationed permanently at
Carbondale. Several pastors expressed
themselves very strongly against the
practice of calling men to mission fields
and then support them upon mere star
vation salaries.
The synod was asked to define the
relation of the synod's missionary
superintendent to the conference presi
dents, a question ignored at the last
synodlcal convention held at Allentown,
but which point shall be definitely set
tled nt the next convention.
Revs. Rltter. Kuder and Kuntz were
named as a committee on Jubilee fund.
Three evening services were held In
as many different churches.
At Zlon church Rev. C. J. Cooper
spoke on education; Rev. W. H. Strauss
on home missions, and Rev. E. A.
Eberts on forelsn missions. At Trin
ity church Rev. J. E. Whltteker, of
Eaatoh: Rev.- Ashmead Shafer, Phila
delphia, and Rev. E. P. Rltter. of Hazle
ton, delivered atiitresses at tne Luther
an church, Petersburg, Rev. O. H. Tre
bert, of Wllkes-Barre, and others
spoke.
The conference will, it Is expected,
close tonight.

While Settling One Theft McLaughlin
Is Accused of Committing Another.
Mary Jones and Lizzie Evans, two
West Side women, had Patrick Mc
Loughlin, a Scranton street man, ar
raigned before Alderman Millar yes
terday on the charge of thieving. The
allegation was that during the absence

effect a settlement.
Lizzie Evans was visiting Mrs. Jones
when McLoughlin called. She had with
her a purse containing $0.85. As she
was about to go she dlscovcreel that her
purse was missing. McLoughlin was
suspected and upon being searched the
purse was found in his pocket. Mrs.
Jones thereupon refused to settle her
case and both women hud warrants
sworn out for his arrest.
The alderman required McLoughlin
to furnish $300 bail in each case, upon
his waiving a hearing.
