Croon Delivered Two Very Interesting Tnlks--rro-(jrnnnno for Todny. Yesterday's sessions of tho county teachers' Institute wero held In Younp Men's Christian Association hall, where tho teachers could hear better. If It did smell a deal worse owing to tlie prox imity of stables, than did court room No. 1. Professor Coggswell, who Is a great favorite, conducted a half hour's musical drill. When tho Institute was divided Professor Twlt meyer, of Bethlehem, gave an address In penmanship. The audience was grouped about tables and a drill was given In petition and muscular exer cises. The teachers were much Inter ested In tho work and considered It very practical. Miss Buckbeo spoke on "Reading," giving a most interesting series of sug gestions. She advised use of the dally rewsnapers in tho class, discriminated of courso. The work which is done by the children themselves furnishes good material for a lesson. They may thus learn to write nrlthmetlo properly as well as their other studies. She advised language lessons where the children give their own experience In which the teacher did not share. Children will think about Saturday's excursion, celebrations, holidays, fairs, circus days, base ball games, and the teacher ennnot help It, let her utilize these expn lences. Have tho children describe their visits made and therein give a lesson on morals and etiquette. Corresponding between schools is an other fruitful source of Interest and Instruction. HELPFUL. DISCUSSION. Miss C. A. Kcnyon opened tho dis cussion on "How to Seoul e the Support of Patrons" with an excellent paper, speaking first on tho leading part In social and Intellectual life taken by tho teacher under the old regime, and de scribing the conditions in tho early days. She was happy to state that last year the last relic of lxirbarism In the shape of "boarding round," was abol ished in Lackawanna county. 'While rejoicing In this progress It Is however to bo regretted that the teacher has lost his old time influence In his neighbor hood, since teacher and patrons are soldoni brought Into contact. If all parents know of the school work of today be acquired from Information lecelved from the children a queer un derstanding will result. She suggested that when children do work at home Interest Is awakened In the school. In telllcence regarding- eveiy day events should be encouraged. Circulating li braries and a number of other mediums wtre recommended. Above and beyond all these are the personality, education and culture of the teacher. Mr. Hanyon followed with clever re marks on the subject, "The Interest of tho Parent Is a Prime Factor In the Teacher's Work." To secure this the teacher must have a manifest Interest In the child, Talk to the pupils about their future. Frankness and honesty with the parents regarding the chil dren's progress or lack of progress should bo employed. Homo work was also recommended, together with the report card. Entertainments, with special Invitations to the parents are perhaps more effective than any other means. INSPIRATION OF TEACHERS. Miss Nelllo Peck, an exceeding pretty young woman, In a pretty white gown over pink, spoke most delightfully on "Inspiration of the Teacher." She said that while the teacher has the most precious material In all tho world to work upon, yet frequently inspiration seems lacking. His principal work Is to Inspire the pupils to reach a higher place. Tho teacher who leads hh pupils beyond and upward has laid the foundation of their moral charac ter. Children, It properly directed, de velop a gieat love for poetry. Thus they love to know of. Longfellow and their little hearts throb with delight at the reading of the thought regard ing childhood In the lines: "Ye are better than nil the 'ballads Tnat were ever sung or ?ald; For ye are tho living poems And all tho rest are dead." She urged lessons from tho lives of truly great men; their love of truth, their honesty and courage. Her re marks were received with applause. Professor F. II. Green, of Westches ter Normal school, spoke on literature under the title of "Medicine for the Mind " Originality of today does not absolutely consist of making something out of nothing. Llteraturo has a rem edial and a prevention power. He gave many Illustrations In his own exper ience regarding literary readings In public school. When tho remedial In fluence is most appreciated. The In fluence of good literature In prevent ing tho corruption of young minds by low class reading matter tossed on porches and thrown about the streets Is Invaluable. These packages of poison are all too freely distributed In modern days. Talmage is right In stating that In much of this rending tho plagues of Egypt are repeated. THERE IS NO END. "Flnis" and "The End," placed at the completion of a book Is a misnomer. Thero Is no end to any book nnd teach ers ahould see to It that the eternal lnlluence of tho books upon the pupils Is of the right sort. Ho advocated using American lit erature as much as possible, ns It ren ders the children American In spirit. The short story may give a lesson. Helen Hunt Jackson has written one of these of the little child who chooses her favorite colors from tho millinery shop window. Thomas Gray's poem, "Odo to a Favorite Cat," was recom mended In a jocular way. The speaker then expressed his great fondness for poetry, "the besl wine of life's feast," the best Interpreter of na ture to the soul of man. It fs the high est form of literature. He recommend ed Tennyson and Klngsley, and said that for Inatllllnsr the love of country lot tho pupils read Scott's "Breathes there a man with soul so dead," etc., and the poems of a Pennsylvanlan, T. Buchan an Read, In "Sheridan's Ride," "Out of tho North the wild news came." etc. If a boy has the spirit of uncharltable ness, direct him to Joaquin Miller's "la It worth while to Jostle a brother?" and the poem containing "I hesitate to draw tho lino twlxt man and man where God has not." If ho has a lock of appreciation, read to him James Whltcomb Riley's tribute to his mother: "Hhe's so good to me, If I was good's good could bo I couldn't bo as good as her." In closing Professor Green recited that fine poem by Julia R. C. Dorr, "Tho Legend of the Organ Builder." DR. BENEDICT'S TALK. Music was the first feature of tho h'ot afternoon. Cadence was given special attention by Professor Cogswell. Dr. Benedict resumed his pleasing talk on formation of habits. His clear and In teresting delineation of tho nervous ys tem and the reflex-action from nervo centres Is one of the most valuable por tions of tho Instltuto work. The mys teries of the early beginning of a habit become clear Indeed under Ills rapid Il lustrations. In speaking of the unde veloped nerve cells, he said that by education their character Is changed nnd the mental exercise produces, de velopment from which proceeds actions which grow Into habits. How neces sary then that the correct training be given the nerve centres of the child. Miss Huckbce spoke on "Drill and Development." She emphasized the value of drill, but she said that outside too much Is being claim ed as the results of drill and practice. Drill does give children facility of expression, It affords the slow nnd dull children a chance to show off well and helps them to re member what was not taught well enough the first time. This Is not meant to refer to arts or th'a training of muscW. On the whole she regards drill ns objectionable. Among the rea sons Is that It consumes an enormous amount of time, which Is largely wasted as In arithmetic, where according to some methods It takes three years to teach children tho facts about numbers up to 100. The same may be said of word drills. Another objection to drill is that it does not train the children to think; It forms the wrong basis of memory. In closing she advised doing away with this drudgery and teaching thought getting. Superintendent Taylor com mended the excellent suggestions n ado and advised their adoption by tho teach ers. PROF. GREEN'S TALK. After music conducted by Professor Coggswell, Professor Green told "How to Study nn Author's Life." Tho biog raphy of the writer Is not the prime factor In the study of literature. It Is necessary to know enough of the au thor to understand his writings. Per sonal contact with him means much, but while this Is usually Impossible, It Is necessary to make him seem real to the child. Among the suggestions given, were: First teach the name and names, not "Longfellow" merely, but "Henry Wadsworth Longfellow," not Lowell, but "James Russell Lowell," "Bayard (BIyard) Taylor." This avoids con fusion, as In the case of Sir Edwin Ar nold, Matthew Arnold, William Arnold, George Arnold. It often suggests re lationship, as In tho names: James Fenlmore Cooper, Constance Fenlmore Woolson. The value of care In spelling was emphasized, "Payne." "Paine" should convey different Impressions, nom dc plumes should be taught, also sobriquets you understand, because you are readers, that when Dr. Bene dict spoke of "Timothy Tltcomb" that he meant J. G. Holland. Other points should be remembered. These are the birth, date and account of the times in which the author wrote; place and description of the place. Don't lay too much stress on dates. Don't make the teaching of literature a famine of the mind on dates. Group facts about certain times. 1819, for Instance, Is a notable year. In 1819 were born Queen Victoria, Prince Al bert, George Eliot, John Ruskln.Charles Klngsley, James Russell Lowell, who Is our greatest American poet In the speaker's opinion; "Walt Whitman his poems on Lincoln and on Death are great efforts, but much of his writings are trash. Here the professor gave a dissertation on a. visit to Walt Whit man, whom he found darning1 stock ings. Edwin P. Whipple, the critic, was also born in that year. Julia Ward Howe, Samuel Longfellow, Cyrus W. Field were born In 1819. HISTORICAL DATES. In tho year 1809 William E. Gladstone, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, E. A. Poe, Oliver Wendell Holmes were born. Shakespeare died In 1616. Milton died In 1G0S. American dates of 1C07 and 1C20 are easily remembered. Thua this circle Is Increased. The third point to bo considered Is parentage. Inherited history tendencies or not. The names of tho Beechers, the Arnolds, the Sherldans wero given In Illustration, after which the session adjourned. Tho Institute will be hold In tho court house the remainder of the week.

TWO NEW BUILDINQS WORE OPENED Ono Is in tho Third Wnrd nnd the Olhor in tho Nlnetccnth"Othor Ilulldingn in Conrso ot Construc tion or Itonovntlon--Chnngns in tho I'nculty of tho High School nnd Mnny Transfers, Promotions and Additions in Corps of Otlior Schools. The public schools opened yesterday morning, after the summer vacation, with a largely Increased attendance. Superintendent Howell, who spent the day In visiting as many of tho schools as he could reach, estimates that the Increase In attendance will figure up between 800 and 1,000. In onlv one school was there any overcrowding found. This was at No. 35, which was filled to overflowing last year nnd which, on nccount of tho rapid growth of the territory It supplies, Is so overcrowded this year that an annex will have to be established. Two new buildings wero used yes terday for tho first time, No. 10 In the Nineteenth ward, and No. 23, In the Third ward. New No. 6 In the Wash ington avenue Hats portion of the Eighth ward, which It was expected would bo opened yesterday, will not be ready for occupancy until October 1, owing to a delav experienced In get ting tho building started. The pupils of that district will be accommodated ns they were last year, some In tho third story of No. 12 building, In the Eighteenth ward, and the others In rented rooms In the Scott building. CAPACITY DOUBLED. No. 2G building In the First ward, which Is having Its capacity doubled by tho addition of a four-room wing, Is also Incomplete. For a month or so the overflow pupils will have to put up with quarters In a rented annex, as they did last year. No. IE, In the Twen tieth wnrd, a new building In course of erection, was also expected to be ready for occupancy at the opening of this term, but will not be In readiness for a month or two. It Is Intended with this building to relieve the congested condition of adjoining schools. Old No. 27, In the Second ward, Is being utilized to accommodate the pupils of No. 28, which Is undergoing renovation. Thero have been many changes in the teaching corps since last year. At the High school Prof. W. E. Schlmpff, for merly principal of No. 25, In Provi dence, succeeds Prof. F. D. Llttell as professor of mathematics, Prof. Llttell having resigned to return to his for mer post In the Naval observatory In Washington. Prof. Henry Kemmer llng, who was principal at No. 13, In Bcllevue, succeeds Prof. Schlmpff at No. 25, and Prof. David Owens, a grad uate of the High school and Blooms- burg State Normal school, takes Prof. Kemmerllng's place. AT HIGH SCHOOL. Prof. M. H. Jordan, formerly princi pal at No. 9, and last year assistant superintendent of the Dunmore schools, goes into the High school as assistant to Miss Haggerty In the commercial department. Miss Nettle A. Nye, for merly of No. 25, Is added to the High school faculty as assistant In the Eng lish department. Miss Frances Con nor, who was, last year, assttant to the principal at No. 27, yesterday began duty as assistant In English and his tory at the High school. Miss Morse, of Brooklyn, N. Y was also, yesterday, Installed ns drawing teacher. Tho vacancy at No. 25, occasioned by the transfer of Miss Nye, was filled by Miss Ross, a new appointee. At No. 27 Miss Grace Hicks was promoted to the position of assistant to tho principal, vacated by Miss Connor's transfer, and Miss Cora Griffin, a new teacher, suc ceeds Miss Hicks. Miss Cora Farnham succeeds to the position In No. 21 vacated by the resig nation of Miss Ida Cahoon, and Miss May Ackerley, a new appointee, goes Into the Intermediate C department to succeed Miss Farnham. Miss Edna Fowler, newly appointed, takes the plnce made vacant by the resignation of Miss Helen Hurlbutt In the Primary B department of No. 28. Miss Bessie Duval Is another new appointee to No. 28, taking the position which was for merly filled by substitutes. Miss Llla Frable, a new teacher, Is added to the corps at No. 10. Miss Durkln, of No. 3, also goes to No. 10, where a Gram mar A department has been estab lished. OTHER CHANGES. Miss Mame Thomas, formerly a sub stitute, Is given a permanent position In the Primary B department of No. 25. Miss Nellie Benjamin, formerly at No. 25, resumed duty as teacher In the In termediate C grade at No. 26. Miss Hannah M. Williams, of No. 25, Is transferred from Primary B to Primary C grade.

The attendance at the- High and Training school Is thirty-two, the largest in Its history. St. Cecilia's academy also opened yes terday with an attendance of 350, the largest opening enrollment In Its twenty-six years existence THE INSTITUTE ENTERTAINMENT. First Ono (ilvon bv tho Royal Entcr tninmonl Compnny. Tho county school teachers were well entertained, If not highly Instructed, by the second number of the Instltuto entertainment course In Y. M. C. A. hall, last night. Tho purveyors wero tho Royal Entertainment company, of Now York, which Included Albert E. Smith, ventriloquist, facial Imitator, shadowgraphlst and prestldlgltateur; Miss Matta Holmes, reciter; J. Stuart Blackton, lightning sketch artist nnd comlo cartoonist, and Miss Pauline Ingre Johnson, soprano soloist. All wero very clever In their respec tive parts. Miss Johnson has a. re markable good voice, but somewhat de tracts from her work In the eyes of tho lovers of tho truly artistic by appear ing In the native costume of her coun try, Sweden, and wearing a huge gold medal. The entertainment, all In all, was very good of Its kind, but It Is hardly the kind that a cultured audi ence such as the school teachers com pose would bo expected to relish. The last number, the slelght-of-hand work, was given while tho audience was gradually shifting towards the door. Tomorrow night a moreapproprlate number Is to bo given. George R. Wcndllng, the famous lecturer. Is to discourse on "Unseen Realities." The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says of Mr. Wendllng: "He Is easily at the head of tho popular lecturers of the coun try." This Is voiced by papers wher ever he has been and will be concurred In by all who heard him on his pre vious visit to this city. BAYLOR'S POND ONCE AQAIN. W. W. Unvlor Institutes Another Trespass Suit. Baylor's pond Is again In court, where It has been periodically as long back as the oldest resident can remember. William Baylor, who claims sole own ership to tho pond, and all the rights appertaining thereto, yesterday Insti tuted a suit In trespass against Carl W. Tiffany, one of the several neigh bors who dispute his claims. It was thought the cruel war was over, when last spring the former long-drawn-out and highly expensive litigation was terminated by Tiffany confessing judgment In favor of Bay lor. It appears, however, that Tiffany did not, by this confession, admit Bay lor's right to prevent his fishing In tho pond from the shore, and on July 4 last he proceeded to exercise what he thought was his legal prerogative. Baylor demanded of him to desist. He refused and this latest suit Is the con sequence. Tho pond and all the land, an acre deep, around It Is hardly worth the trouble and expense of the litigation over tho fishing privilege, but tho doughty Benton farmers, who are In volved In the war, arc a spunky lot, and they are bound to have their rights, no matter what the cost may be. W. W. Baylor, son of the plain-JL tiff, Is his legal representative. THAT CARBON STREET 0RAD1NQ. Gordon Estate Asks Court to Assess Dnmngcs Resulting Therefrom. Judge Gunster yesterday appointed B. F. Ackerly, E. D. Fellows and W. R. Lewis as a board of viewers to assess the damages done through the regradlng of Carbon street to the property of the Gordon, estate. They aie directed to meet on the grounds Sept. 30 at 10 o'clock a. m. Tho work which caused tho alleged damage was done by the city under the provisions of an ordinance passed In 1888. The street In front of the com plainant's property was lowered five feet. An effort was mado to compro mise the matter with the city but It failed and the estate now petitions court to adjudicate.
