HE WESTON MILL CO POPULARPUNCHCICARS SCHANK NEW IDEAS FOR THE COUNTY TEACHERS Advanced ia tbe Lectures Delivered Be fore Them at Yesterday's Sessions. ANNUAL MEETING OF DIRECTORS Was Held in the Parlor of the Y. M. C. A--Seven Thoughtful Paper ltcnd-OIIiccr Elected for the I cur. Addressed by Prof. George liible Dr. llolbrook and OthcrsEnter tainment in the Evening. Superintendent N. T. Houser, of Dun moro, presided over the session of the county teachers yesterday. County Su perintendent Taylor being engaged with the directors of the county who Were meeting in Young Men's Christian Association hall. After the usual drill in music by Professor Cogswell, Pro fessor I ted way delivered a lecture on "Map drawing and map reading." One of the teachers asked him if there were any geographical proofs of the lost At laiilis ever having existed. His reply was that it was probable that it had existed but there is no absolute proof of it. In drawing maps unci reading maps the professor said it is the dis tribution of commercial points that should be tixed in the minds of the pu pils. When this is noted the area given to different products should be taught and oilier details of the map tilled in. The lecture waa illustrated with draw ings on the blackboard. A either solo was given by Professor Lloyd, of Priceburg. und Professor Hol bi k followed with a talk on Peda gogy." He told the teachers that when u pupil docs not want to study there is something wrunrr for the child with u healthy mind is cuger for information und wants to learn. The mind must work as all the organs of the body must or darkness and death ure the result. It is a mistake thai is growing umong teachers thiit t veryt hing should be inude as easy as possible for the student. He advised teachers to as sign lessons as If ilie punils wanted something to do und if the pupil is un able to overcome uny dillUull point they should be given assistance. TALK ON CHILD STI DV. Dr. Main L. Pratt closed the morn ing session with another of In r talks on Child Study." She said the best period lor work in the school room is imiiieiliateiv after me moiioog sen.n begins and if she had her way she would have the pupils ut arithmetic when in almost all schools they ure singing. The proper mental result can not be oldained when the physical con dition Is not proper. Teachers should try and be cheerful and happy and make the atmosphere of the school room optimistical. In the afternoon the session opened with the singing of two choruses by the teachers, Professor Redway following with a talk on the "Correlation or C.eography and History." He believes in teaching the two studies together, as one has a direct relation to the oth er. Me described a number of peculiar geographical formations and made the statement that the commercial su premacy of New York over the other seaboard cities of the east Is due In a great measure to the Erie canal, which gives It a direct connection by water with the great lakes and the great west beyond. This cnnal was made possible by a peculiar geographical for mation in the valley drained by the Mohawk river. Professor Cogswell said he had been asked to sing for the institute, but In stead would have the graphaphone re produce for them his son, "Sweetest of Sweethearts," which he sang into it Wednesday evening. The reproduction was excellent. Several other grapha phone numbers were given one of which was "Put Mo Off at Buffalo," which drew a large number of the county directors from the parlor where they were meeting. PROFESSOR BIBLE'S TALK. Professor George Bible, principal of Stroudsburg Normal school, was In troduced at the conclusion of the graphaphone exhibition. "We have heard." he said, "a great deal about the teachers' profession during the last twenty or twenty-live years, and if we have not yet renched that high stand ard we wish to attain we should not be discouraged, for we are making progress, and I believe that golden days for the teacher are approaching." Ho dwelt upon the necessity of child study, and said more thought and in vestigation with reference to the pe culiarities of each student will result in better and more satisfactory results. Superintendent Coughlin's afternoon lecture was "Heading for Front." "I think." he said, "the grent duty of the teacher Is to form character, and I deem the world's greatest teacher the one who can stand behind his desk anil best help the pupil to help himself. A great deal can be done In this direc tion by a wisely selected course of reading. I want to draw a distinction between learning to read and reading. Learning to read is merely a prepara tion for reading, and It ought to be completed at the end of the third year. How many of us succeed in getting through with this matter in three years? After completing the third reader the pupil should read for in formation and profit and should be encouraged to read assimilate books that will ennoble the reader and build his character along proper lines." Dr. Holbrook was the last Instructor of the afternoon and spoke on his us ual topic, "Pedagogy." He dwelt upon the matter of stimulus In the school room. The teacher, he said, can feed the mind, stimulate the mind and di rect the mind, and he suggested a line of thought with regard to these things that might be followed out and elabor ated upon by the teacher. Professor Houser read a letter from the Scranton Business college. Invit ing the teachers to visit the college and examine the manner In which it is conducted. The closing session of the institute will he held this morning. MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS. They Elected Officer and Transacted Other Important Unsincs. In connection with the county teach ers' institute the fourth annual meet ing or the Lackawanna County Direc tors' association was held yesterday in one of the Young Men's Christian association parlors. The deliberations of the directors were presided over by John W. Cure, of Oreenlield. president of the association, who delivered an address on "How to Improve Our Schools," immediately after the meet ing opened at 10 a. in. A very thoughtful paper was read by D. H. Moses, secretary of the Spring brook board, on "How Should Tench em" Salaries be GradPd?" He was of the opinion that experience and prov.d efficiency 'should be the main factors In fixing a teacher's salary. A good test of a teacher's ability, lie thought, consists In his success in Interesting the pupil In the work of the school room. The paper was discussed by Su perinlenderft C'oughlin, of Wilkes Hurre. Superintendent Taylor, of this county; J. L. Stone, of Waverly and William H. Morgan, secretary of Dick son city school board. The directors next listened to an ad dress on "New School Laws," and called their attention to the necessity of having an exhaustive law on con tagious diseases. In regard to the com pulsory education law, he said, the best way to repeal a poor law -Is to have It rigidly enforced. By enforcing It the defects will become obvious, therefore, he urged even those opposed to It to work tor Its enforcement. Mr. Cough- THE SCRNTON TB IB lln also made a plea for the free li brary law. Frofesnor Richards enter tained the meeting with a recitation on apples. The annual election of officers re sulted as, follows: President. William Repp, Old Forge; vice presidents. J. P.

King Instructed, entertained und delighted a larye au dience of the county teachers and their friends at the Young Men's Christian Association hall last eveniiK. .Mr. King's first recitation was one of Ills own composition. He prefaced It with many witty remarks and dissected the poem in such a nice vein of humorous sarcasm that it was Uesthnahle which gave the greater satisfaction, his preface or the declamation. "Shakespeare." said he, "always pre pared his characters by introducing luiighuble incidents Just previous to ids most pathetic, melancholy and tragic utterances so as to make them stronger by contrast." Shakespeare understood human nnture well, and the professor knew human nature well enough to .imitate tho immortal Will lam in this respect, All through the entertainment he paved his way in a delightful manner to and Illustrative of tho succeeding number. He possesses the very agree able art of story telling and even of punning, but at no time does ho lessen the standard of dignity due to his au dience. The vuriety of selections embracing comedy and tragedy which he Inter preted so masterly last night shows his wonderful range and versatility. He recited several of James Whit comb Kiley's famous poems, among them "When the Frost Js on the Pumpkin" and "There Is Nothing to Say." From Shakespeare's Hamlet he gave speeches in the first and fifth a ts. The last number was the chariot race from Ben Hur, and the story lead ing up to It. Nearly every one of his auditors had heard this recitation on some former occasion, but probably never with as much pleasure. MRS. VAN DYKE INJURED. Walked in Front of a D., L. & W. Passenger Train.

District Attorney Jones said there was not enough evidence against her to convict; she was In the crowd, but It was not clear that she had any thing to do with the constable's in juries, except that she may not be verv sorry about his trouble. A verdict of not guilty was taken. James Sheridan, a boy 1(1 years old, was tried for striking Jacob Felt, a Hebrew rag peddler, with a stone In the left side and laying him up four days in bed.
