The county teachers' Institute con
vened at the court house yesterday.
At. the opening of the morning session
Frofessor Cogswell gave an Interesting
musical exercise. He advocates in
particular method, nlthovgli In his
w.rk In Dlnghamton he U3'M the Nor
mal method, but gl-es special ntten
tlin to Intonation, odvlslng the teach
ers to take tho tone of the chlidieti In
teaching singing ui'ner but one tone
at l. it.
Miss Buckbee spjke on "Phonics
during tho first period. She did not un
rrce of the extreme phonic fad iuite
Ir. oguc Just now, but considered a
knowledge of phonlrs very necessary
as It assists the mr.nory materially.
Superintendent Bovarel, of Dunmoro,
read a valuable paper on the origin
and growth of the Pennsylvania school
system. The struggle for free schools
In this state lasted 150 years, culmin
ating In tho memorable act of 1834
"William Penn provided a most elab
orate scheme for a system of public
schools. Thus at the beginning of our
commonwealth It was Intended that
education should be a public concern,
a step far In advance of the age.
In 1776 an act was passed providing
that a school or schools should be
established In each county by the leg
islature. Then tho struggle began be
tween those who favored free Instruc
tion and their opposers. The bitter
ness and persistence shown In this
long battle are matters of history. To
Governor Wolf and Senator Breck, of
Philadelphia, Is due the honor of for
warding the great project to a suc
cessful end. Under the lead of Dr.
George Smith the act of 1834 was mold
ed Into working shape two years later.
LOCAL INSTITUTES.
Professor K. N. Martin, of Moscow,
read nn article on "Local Institutes
and Summer Schools." The first use of
a local Institute is to round off the
sharp, hard corners often noticed In tho
relation of teachers with each other.
Tho social benefits are great. Next to
the local institute, nothing Is of so
much value to tho teachers as the
summer school. Subjects necessary to
modern teaching, hut not understood
by tho teacher, may be studied in this
way. Inspiration, new thought, fresh
Interest in their work are gained at
the summer school as nowhere else.
Professor Martin gave an interesting
and graphic portrayal of work in the
summer school.
Professor Green then gave a continu
ation of his talk on "How to Study an
Author's Life." Julia Ward Howe,
Laura E. Richards and P. Marion
Crawford were among those mentioned
as illustrating the theory of heredity.
Byron was not so much to be blamed
as was his mother for his unfortunate
characteristics. Poe was not born in
Baltimore but Boston, and was the
son of erratic acting parents.
The third point to study is the edu
cation of the author. Contrast Whit
tier, with his education, with Holmes
and Longfellow schooled In college or
taught by nature. Could Holmes have
written "The Boys" and ether famous
occasional poems had he not had .col
lege experience?
ADVANTAGE OF TRAVEL.
The fifth point may be summed up
as general facts travels, uouiu wo
have had Bayard Taylor's "Views
Afoot" without his advantage of travel?
Tho same may he said of Irving In his
"Alhambra." Robert Browning in his
Italian studies, "Friends," is another
topic to be studied. Tennyson, Milton
In his Lycldas, which. If people do not
like, their taste should be questioned;
Shelley In Adonals; Cooper hod the
fortune to be surrounded by good
friends, although he believed he was
to be eternally damned. These friend
ships are decidedly Important In their
Influence on authors' productions.
"Loves and Marriages" also have
great Influence upon the author's
works.
Professor Twltmcyer, In the Superior
court room, gave a continuance of his
instructions in writing. Ills work is
probably tho most popular feature of
the Institute. The teachers are gain
ing much practical advantago from
these lessons, notwithstanding the hard
work entailed.
After the half hour of music Dr.
Benedict spoke on "Attention." In em
phasizing the grave possibilities of hab
it ho said that It is not enough to cease
pwearlng but words must be cultivated
to take the place of the oaths. Suc
cess In eradicating vicious habits must
largely depend on Introducing some
thing good to take their place, or rath
er to employ new brain cells in another
direction.
MUST GIVE ATTENTION.
Nothing exists for the mind unless
the mind gives attention to It. "What Is
attention? It Is a state, not a faculty
of the mind It Is a muscular effort, A
number of practical applications of this
fact was given. With regard to paying
attention to more than ono thing at
onte several Illustrations were given of
Its possibility but the teachers were
not advised to cultivate such mental
gymnastics in tho children.
Miss Bessie Craig, who was a prize
winner at tho oratorical contest at
Peckvllle, gave a pleasing recitation.
Peckvlllo seems to be the banner town
In the county for tho production of
pretty girls and Miss Craig's name
should he added to the roll. She has
a strong and sweet ringing voice and
remarkable dramatic ability for one
so young.
Professor Coggswell conducted tho
music which followed. Professor Green
then took the platform and gavo what
he called a "Literary Ramble." He said
that had he time ho would like to take
his audience to Tnrrytown,Roslyn, Bal
timore, to stand at Foe's grave to muse
about Sidney Lanier, whose poem on
sunrlso Is scarcely exceeded by even
Browning at the beginning of "Fippa
Passes;" to go further South and vis
It the i-pot made familiar by Paul
Hamilton Hayne, Henry Tlmrod, W. G.
Slmms, F. L. Stanton and Joel Chan
dler Harris. Then westward whero Eu
gene Field lived, and where James
Whltcornb Riley writes, and then be
yond the Rocky mountains to the land
of Joaquin Miller and Bret Harte. Then
ho would go across our own Keystone
stato to tne nomes of Bayard Taylor,
T. B. Bead and George. H. Baker, or to
Hartford, to the homes of Mark Twain,
Harriet Beecher Btowe and Chan. Dud
ley Warner. But there la not time for
all this, so tho tour will bo devoted to
a little trip around Boston,
LIBEL ON PENNSYLVANIA.
It has been said that Pennsylvania
Is "a stato of mines rather than minds."
This Is n libel. ThU stato produced our
first linguist nnd our first flctlonlst, as
well ns other noted persons, and wo are
prriud that we have both minds and
mines.
Professor Whltmeyer gavo a delight
ful address on "The Homo and tho
School How May They Help Each
Other?" Nowadays mothers' meetings
and societies and all sorts of organ
izations are In vogue to bring harmony
Into life and to elevate humanity. Yet
tho distance between tho school nnd
tho homo seems to widen In many lo
calities. Tho average attendance at
public schools la Pennsylvania Is 85
per cent. In Lackawanna county It Is
81 per cent. Would any business man
In this city run his business In such a
way as this?
How nro these homes to be reached?
Tho teacher must do this. The school
must bo tho medium of salvation in
saving tho boys and girls to be better
members of society. Wo hear much talk
of closer application, Improvements,
Interest In the work and many other
requisites, but better than all these Is
the teacher with heart sanctified with
the desire of leading tho children to
a higher life.
Get acquainted with every mother
in the community with tho father, if
possible, but at all events with the
mother. She can't frame in language
the emotions of her heart In divid
ing with the teacher the responsibil
ity of training her boy. There are no
words to picture her anxiety, and the
teacher will find It easy to gain her
co-opcratlon In his welfare.
MOTHER'S MEETINGS.
Write personal attentions to a "moth
ers' meeting." Tell the mothers that
you want to talk over tho good of
her boys and girls. Have recitations
that will take hold of the hearts of
your llstners. Tell them you want
them to help you by getting the chil
dren In school, and having them on
time. Tell them tho good things In
their children, hold up wonderful pos
sibilities, lofty ideals. Tell them that
the boy who goes to college has three
times the chance of the Ignoramus.
These meetings have had the greatest
results wherever held. You must bo a
light In the community. You won't wear
out
Whatever you do give tho children
pleasant surroundings. We are satis
fied too easily. Wo are living on too
low a plane. We want to be uplift
ed. Be what you want your boys to
be. Whether you want them to copy
you or not, they will do so for the re
Hex action will be shown in them.

NEIBELL AND GATES
THE EVANGELISTS
Have Readied Tbls Clly Alter a Tour of
New York State.
ARE EARNEST AND ENTHUSIASTIC
They Go from Plnco to Place, Sing
ing, Prcnchlnsr, and Selling tho
"Experience" of Evangelist Gntcs.
Started from This City on March 17.
They Aro Now Turning Their Fnccs
in tho Direction of Florida.
Preaching and praying and singing
nnd playing stringed Instruments two
young men held tho attention ot a
crowd at tho comer of Wyoming ave
nue and Spruce streeot for over an hour
last night. Both wore blacl: clothing,
the color broken only by white collars
and shirts. They spoke In loud, far
reaching voices, husky from outdoor
preaching and their exhorting was
marked by on earnestness that betok
ened boundless enthusiasm.
The young men arc A. C. Nlebell,
aged 22 years, and V. R. Gates, nged 20
years, who left this city in March of
the present year to lead tho life of
traveling evangelists. In the crowd
last night were many who knew the
young men. They worked here for sev
eral years as typesetter and pressman
for some time before they decided to
devote their time entirely to evangelist
ic work. Mr. Nlebcll's home is In this
city. He was converted three years
ago and at once decided to throw him
self Into the harness for Christianity.
He is the young man who, while preach
ing one night from a box oar at the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
switch on Lackawanna avenue, had the
chagrin to be drawn away from a great
crowd of listeners by an engine at
the other end. Nlebell got oft the car
and continued his talk on the ground.
Gates tells his experience in a small
pamphlet which he sells for 25 cents.
STARTED MARCH 37.
When Nlebell and Gates came togeth
er they resigned their positions and
started out March 17 to tour the coun
try In tho chosen work. They In turn
visited Tresslervllle near Lake Ariel,
Blnghomton, where Gates' parents live;
Owego, Elmira, Corning and in all
about 100 cities, towns and villages.
At Tresslervllle the evangelists say
they converted twenty-five persons and
succeeded In uniting two elements of
the Evangelical church which split over
some difference. Rev. O. R. Butt is tho
pastor and now everything is harmon
ious. At Dandee, N. Y they scored 5G con
verts, and at Elmira they hired an
opera house and talked. They paid all
expenses.
A Dr. Cole, of Corning, worth $500,
000, was one of the biggest conquests.
He is a famous medicine man, It is
said. It was exciting all tho way
through. In one city a crowd of 500
people saw the evangelists chased off
the streets by a police officer. This was
done, said Nelbell last night, "Just be
cause we said that what the churches
kicked out the Salvation army took in."
"I want you to say for us," said
the same young man; "that we are well
pleased with the reception given us by
our friends here. They thought when
we started out that we would not per
sist in the work. We come back bet
ter equipped and Just as much in earn
est." . The young men take up collections
to pay expenses and also realize some
thing on the sale of Mr. Gates' "Ex
perience." "We make enough money to
keep our heads above water, and have
a little surplus to get to the next
town," was the way they expressed it.
DEPENDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
The order of service depends entire
ly on circumstances. A rousing hymn
to the accompaniment of Nclbell's
mandolin and Gate's guitar, attracts
the crowd. Then they pitch in and
preach.
Mr. Gates' "Experience" is a small
red-paper-colored pamphlet with tho
title "Prison Life and Experience of
V. K. Gates." By his prison life the
story refers to several months Gates
spent In Jail for stealing divers things.
He tells all about how tho prisoners
are treated and puts It in a very un
inviting light. He also tells what a
hard time he had in Scranton. One
hardware Arm gave him a Job at $20
per month cleaning out stoves. He
took the Job so that he "wouldn't pick
anyone's pockets." Mr. Nelbell writes
the introductory to the "Experience."
The two evangelists will remain In
this city for a week; then they go on
a tour south, expecting to reach Flor
ida when its winter here.

Nothing in tne Retail
Trading of this city in years
can compare with our record
in Shoe Selling for last Sat
urday. We have practically
been doing the shoe business
of this town, and we have
sold thousands of pairs at
prices that were a revelation.
It would seem as if every
pair of shoes we sold was tell
ing the story of the sale; how
we bought them at one-half
their regular price and sold
them in the same way.
One satisfied customer
brought another, andiso on
ad infinitum. There's the
story of our success in shoe
selling. We will go on this
week in the same way, but
probably the selling will be
bigger, as the attractions are
possibly greater than before.
We would advise intending
buyers to come during the
week, as it was impossible for
us to wait on one-quarter of
the customers who crowded,
or rather, over-crowded our
store last Saturday.
