There were manj in nttendunte be
sides the teachers at both morning and
afternoon sessions', a compliment to the
instructors that In not a common thin;;

manifested hm a heightening of this
compliment
The ancient prerogative of the super
intendent, of mildlj lecturing the teach
ers for tai illness, was not cast away by
Prof. Howell when he found it Impos
sible to open the morning session until
some minutes after scedule time. Tht'

feeling that their duty had been fully
done In giving the opportunity for the

Wh h finally the stream through the

proportions to those of a rivulet, atten

Lansing, who offered a fervent opening
prayer Then came singing by the as
semblage, under the direction of I'tof.
Dernian, the exercise closing with n
soulful rendition of the timely "My
Country, 'TIs of Thee "
Dr Sprague was the first speaker.
He had for his subject "Study of Eng
lish Literature What nnd Why." It
was a suggestion of what was best foi
study in the mass of literature that
confronts the anxious student and how
to get at and stud it
STUDY OF LlTntATL'Ri:.
The study of literature is not the
knowing of the biogiaphles erf the
writers and such lateral erudition. It
is the necking for the ennobling mnttei
that the work may contain.
Aftof a twenty-minute recess, Dr.
Brumbaugh took up the discussion of
"The Rennalssance in Language" He
interestingly sketched the history of
the revival of learning, the pait which
the classics nnd their great champion,
Hrasmus, played In the revival and the
civilization thut has sprung from it.
The doctoi strongly condemned the
tendency in some quarter s to drive the
study of Gieek from the curriculum of
our schools
Speaking of the principles of teach
ing, Dr. Urumbaugh aptly put a gener
ally accepted tenet by saying that it
is not the purpose of teaching to
stuff a child until he lies down with the
contentment or a tatiated animal, but
instead make him hungry nnd eager

The afternoon scjlon opened with a

which pleased so well that .i second

Then came the first effort by a local

TALK ON TUP CLASSICS.
The subject Itself "llcauty and t'tll
Ity of the Classics" was nn Indication
of the utility pait of the uuestlon, tacit
of the thiee principal words being de
llved from the Latin. lib nskeil the
dltfstloii "What will become of tin
world wh-n nil Its poeple ute educat
ed'"' The answer he said was this:
"The mine men tin own out of employ
ment the more uvenues of employment
In new directions will bo opened up. '
As a proof self-evident of the beauty
and utility of the classics the speaker
cited the fact Hint Homer has more
readers now than when he wrote. It
Is hntdly possible to undei stand thor
oughly our own Kngllsh grammar, ho
said, without a comparison with the
grutnmar of some foreign lunguage.
That so many English words arc taken
from fotelgn models, principally given
us an example of the advantage of the
classics, and then ugaln, It was pointed
out, In Latin nnd Gieek ale to be found
the best illustrations of figures of
speech, the most powerful features of
spoken and unwiitten language, nnd
the particular great foice In oratoij.
It Is not for the mere knowledge of
Latin and Greek that the classics are
put sued. A. T. Stewart lead a page of
the Illiud every day as a mental drill.
Latin und Greek ate the fountalnhcad
of elegancp In lltei.ituie. Modern literatim-
could not be what It is but for
the mnstets of r.reeee nnd Hume.
Teachers were lltged to make the
fullest use of the classics paving par-
ticuinr attention to the presentation of
models for emulation selected from the
grent store with which the (lassies
abound

Tlio good impression Dr. .Sprague
made ut the morning session was at
tested in nn emphatic way by the
ovation which marked his reappeat
ance for the closing address of the
afternoon, ills subject was "L'aily In
struction in English Literature." The
lecture wns a pleasant variance fiom
the average institute didactic for it was
as much eiiteitainment uh it was In
struction. Choice maxims, he said, should also
be- given the pupil to leain nnd dis
played on the walls of the school room.
In referring to the "Hattle Hymn of
the Republic" being conspicuously
printed In yesterday's Tilbuni Dr.
Sprague commended the Idea and said
that the inspliing poem should be mem
orized by every American.
The most hugely nttended session of
the Institute thus far wns that of last
evening, when the popular Dr Ilittni
buugh gave nn account of his obser
vations In the Teche country, the dls-
uiieuy iiooie jioi Mem of Louisiana,
surrounding liayou Teche. Dr. Hium
