Institute , re-assembled at the stated hour, President Douthett hi the chair. The exercises were opened with prayer by Prof. Gillbert. After a song, Prof. Jones, of Erie, de livered an , address on the "Laws of Teaching."! He held that. the following were the ;post important laws: First, Teachers should know: well what they . , , pretend to teach; Second, They should' get and keeprilie .atteiction of, the pupil% Third,. They should use plain. language; Fourth, They should pass from the known to the unknown; Flfth, They should tell nothing the 'pupils can ascer- I tajn for theinselves; Sixth, They should require pupils to tell, in their own lan guage, all they know , about the lesson; Seventh, Reviews should be frequent. The speaker commented upon these laws at some length, and contended that a strict observance of them would be ben eficial. After a recess of five minutes Prof. Northrop was introduced and delivered a lecturetthi gymnastim, and urged its general introduction into the public schools. He contended that snob exer dee would contribute to the development of the physical 'powers of , pupils, and would likewise stimulate the mental fa. i culties, When o the Professor had concluded, the President announced that the next busi ness in order.wouliii he a discussion on the question "Are the evils of absentee ism, irregular attendance and truancy capable of correction or materially les sened by legal enactment?" Prof. Northrop opened the discussion. He had nd fault to find with the law on this subjeet. but he contended that kind ness and• moral suasion on the part of the teacirers would exert more influence in correcting the evils complained of. Rev. Mr. Gilchrist, of Washington county; thought something could be done by legislation. Kindness sad moral suasion could not reach children who would not come to the school, and he favored the enactment of some law vshichshould compel attendance. When that was secured, the influence of kind , nese and moral suasion could be brought t& bear. .} Mr. Johnstma, of rhant township, thought that, in the rural districts at least, the, attendance of pupils would not be such as was desired until the school houses and schools were. made comforts. ble, pleasant and inviting.• Without such improvement all other efforts to correct the evils would be in vain. prof. G. L. R t Eberhart, of New Brighton, read selections from Brvant, Saxe, and "Skeddan's Ride." Prof. Shoemaker followed in a brief lecture on Elocution as a Science. The Bietitute then adjourned until two •o'clock. 4 . - • I AVITRANOON SISSSION. The Institute opened at the usual hour, With music by the choir. ' Miss H. Renwick. Principal of the Eighth ward, schools, Allegheny, then read an interesting end well, written es. say on "Sumas: .Prof. Shoemaker then read several ge lections in• his usual effective style, after which Mr. Hornex sang the song (Tree as a Bird," with most adneirable effect-;-. Miss Frisbee performing the sectimpani ment. ' - • " Prof.Congdon of Harrlaburgh, then spoke for fifteen:minutes on the subject of teaching penmanship. He thought little children-should write at least an hour each day. In some schools : the pu- Plis wrote but one line, two or three - days in the week. In a session of ten months, the quantity written was not more than would occupy a good writer liwo hours. He thought, this was a great mistake and supported his position by forcible argument: REMARKS OP . PROP. WICKERSHAM. Prof. yirickersham, &ate Superinten• denti:,ivas then introduced. He expressed his gratifleation at Abe laige attendance, and argued from it that the cause of edn• cation was progressing in Allegheny 'county:`; He then spoke of :the fact that the Legislature. for the lirat time in its story, had passed the school, APProPri"- NUMBER 82. I ation. The sum appropriated was 1500,- 000. The "machine" ran is sell' now, and 1 be was not ashamed to ask for all the I money demanded by the children of the Commonwealth. He then alluded to the amount being spent in building schools in the State. Almost $2,000,000 had been expended for this purpose last year,•and this year the indications were that $2,500,000 would be expended—an amount greater than was expended in any other State, even in the great ""Em pire State" itself. This was another very gratifying fact. The proposed changes in the law relative to the collection of school taxes, and allowing, uniformity in text books in school districts, were then alluded to. The speaker doubted the propriety of concentrating large interests in the hands of book publishers. The 1 speaker continued his remarks on the 1 different questions arising in the man agement of the Common Scheel System, exhibiting a thorough acquaintance with the subject, and engaging the close at- .. tsntion of the Institute throughout. Rev. Mr. Gilchrist, of Washington • county, made a brief speech, con- . .1 1 gratulating the Institute up.in its sue- i ' cess. Mr. Caldwell then announced the or ganization of the Committse on Per manent .Certificates, with B. F. Gam-• ber as President, and J. Morrow as Sec- - retary. The Committee will meet on the second Saturday of each month, • except-. • ing July, in Prof. Curry's school room,' St. Clair street. HE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. McClymonds, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, submit ted a report. We append the more im taut of the series: 4. That the Legislature be requested to pass a law which will compel every child of the Commonwealth to receive an edu- cation, sufficient to make it an intelli gent voter. 6. That the school book agency syatem, whether conducted openly or secretly, •• should be discountenanced, as being in jurious to the cause of education, by in ducing directors to exchange one series of books for another without any per- • ceptible advantage, enteiling needless expense, and creating and embittering opposition to the whole system of puh lic instruction. • • ' 7.

The, speaker then took no in detail and - examined in an able and convineing man ner the minor objections ariaing out of these two; contending that they are with out foundation, and at variance with the t prigressive spirit of the age. - At the conclusion of Prof. Wicitiere ham's remarks, the Philharmonic-So ciety sang the hymn, "What mean those , holy voices,". after which a resolution was pasied, requesting a copy for pcibli -cation of 'Rev.
