In pursuauce of a previous notice the Teachers ot Monroe County assembled themselves together at the Court House, in Stroudsburi;. to hold the third annual Couuty Institute. County Supt. J. L. Stonu in the Chrir. Institute opened by icjiffiui: a portion-of Scripture, and pray erliy J. IV Storm; Ksq. D. S Lcc, Secre tary?-being absent, Ueorge Dungan was elected Secretary jno trn. The names of D'uhu ts beiug called in order, the fol lowing teachers responded, bee append ed list "I (In motion, Nathan Leh gave .i drill of thirty members in Algebra. The In. stitute then adjourned till to morrow morn ing, (Wednesday) at 10 o'clock a. in. WEDNESDAY MORNING. The meeting was opened by reading a portion of Scripture and prayer by James Carr, Ksq., J. 1$. Storm, President, in the ('hair. On motion of D. S. Lee. the Chair was authorized to appoint a com mittee of seven, on reception. Next business before the Institute was the admission of new members. Iirst exercise on the i.roiiraninie was 17 Geography by Mr. Kuukle, who asked mauv important questions, which elicited much discussion, and the ideas of niauy were freely exchanged, with, we hop good, results. Some of the question were the following : At what age should a pupil commence the study of Geography? How should a scholar be induced to study Geography ? What should be the nature of questions asked ? Should map draw iug be t.iught in connection with the study of Geography 7 Should the teacher conhne himsell entirely to text books &c I During the discussion the import ance of tnao drawin" in connection with the study of Geography was emphatically ured upon the teachers. We are pleased to be able to report that map drawing was considered of mtrinsic value in impress ing the minds of the young, by the entire Institute, with but oue or two exception. and those ouly arose, we think, because ol a misunderstanding in regard to ths man ncr of teaching it. We think it would be well lor all who are engaged in instruct ing youth to ponder well the above ques tious. Institute adjourned until two o'clock p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION Opened by calling roll, after which Mr Appenzeller, the handless wan, conducted an exercise in penmanship, reducing writ ing to a science, explaining and beautifully illustrating the principles of writing Al:er ana!yinj a lew letters, aud with hi supanor skill, pointing out, explainiu and uniting the different principles which enter into the formation of each, he was requested bv the unanimous voice of the Institute, to continue his explanation throughout the whole alphabet, which he did to the entire satisfaction of ail. Mr Appenzeller's skill in the formation ol letters, and his Leauitful specimens ol penmanship, should cau?c us, who have baud.--, to blush because oi our inefficiency Alter which Hon. S. G. lioyd, of York, save instruction in Arithmetic and the manner ol teaching it. Mauy of his new and orinal ideas, couceruing the method of teaching that importaut branch, stal led some of the teachers who have been accustomed to teach as did their fathers, thiukiug that the old way "vash do pe.t way." Mr. Uoyd clearly proved that the only way to teach Arithmetic successfully was to show that there is a why and a wherefore to all solutions That teachers iu conducting au exercise be'ore their pupils should take nothing lor granted, but demonstrate everything in the simp lest way, lor the mind ol clnl lreu could not comprehend facts that might be patent to ths more matured mind. He highly recommended object teaching. Prof. Coburn, of the school department then took the floor, and epoke some time upou Institutes and the object of their institution, clearly showing the advantages the teachers of the present day hare over those who taught thirty or lorty years ago, when there was do co-operation be tweeu teachers, but jtalousy, the green eed monster" was ever ready to dispa(ag -the efforts and render unpopular tho- who were self-sacrificing enough to iu struct youth. He closed that part of hi: discourse by urging teachers to embrace the opportunities afforded by Institutes to gain instruction. He next took up history of the United Mates as a branch hitherto almost entirely excluded trotu our schools, but which the ' J r , i . wisuooj oi a wise .legislature has now made obligatory upon Superintendent and teachers to introduce. He gave wouie very valuable instruction in regard to th method of teaching it, which course ii pursued, caunot lail to instruct both'teach ers and scholars. He also showed how ignoraut we were of the history of our own fctate, whereas many, or all of us, could tell the name ol the fchip in which the 1'ilgriui lathers sailed, but could not give the name of the fchip whicl brought William Penn to this laud. Tjje Evening Session was opened by a lecture by G. S. Ioyd on Geographical names, their History and .Meaning. lue speaker set out by show tog uiai oaiions ouserve cerium laws in their Geographical names, and to make the study of Geography interesting it was necessary to understand their laws There is a history io every uarue; when mis History is well understood, me is tiiven to Geographical teaching. This the lecturer illustrated by showing that either the alhx or the prefix it) almost all Geo graphical names had some meaning, lor example, the affix &hiu all Ilussiaa names meant town or village. The word tan as in Hiudoostan, the abode of the Ilia duos, iu Athauistau, the abode ol the Afghans, iSitira meant bleak uud not notched as we commonly suppose. The prefix hill, a found in Geographical names in Ireland, means Hermit cell The terminations polis, bolii, pie, as heard in Cou-tantiuoplti Acropolis. Adiijnople, Tripoli, means city. The termination, sex as heard in IWex and Sussex means Saxon. The English settlers duplicated the Geograpical names of their mother country. The French and Spanish did not observe tliat law of naming. How shall wc account for it 7 He accounts 1 for it that the English retained a love i . . . f . i - lor their mother, country, r.ugnsn on settling another country adopted the names already found, while the Spanish and French changed the names and used their own. lhe American? in giving Geographical names have alSxel to them the names of distinguished men, while the French and Spanish rarely do. . The fact is accounted lor by the lact that ouj Repubhc delights to honor our public men. l tie speaker iiic inusirareu an other law ef naming: The French and Spauish employed sacred terms in nam ing towns, rivers, islands, Ac, as bau Salvador-the Holy Saviour, Vera Cruz the true Cross, Irinidad the trinity Gracios a Dois thanks to God, St. -Law rence, namd by the French in honor ol that Saint. ere the rreuch and Span ish more religious than our English forefa thers? No! but every Spauish and rrcucl expedition took with it Jesuit Priests. Prof. Coburn then took the floor and lectured on the qualification of the teacher. This lecture was plain and a practical, abounding in good common sense. Among the qualifications he laid irreat stress on irood scellioir. A ood teacher should uot only know the brauch es he is to teach, but should study with diligence those brauches which shed light upon his school room duties. He should be versed in the science of teaching He .should be well versed in the Bible and school Law. He should be neat : gentleman, not a fop or a daudy Hi should cultivate habits of iuduitry am punctuality ; every teacher should be i ood talker, and have a natural taleut for irood government. TIIURSDAY MORNING" opened by reading a portion of scripture aod prayer by Prof. Coffin, of Laffayctte College.- 1 rot. lolan then cave instruction on square aud cube root, which he beautiful Iv'xplained by means of blocks. His explanations were so plain and practical that a person with but a limited know! edge of mathematics could readily uuder tand, what are considered the difficulties ol those rules. He fully showed that he was master of that which he attempted to teach. .Many were the expressions o gratitude made by the teachers for the information so pleasantly given. Next an address by Prof. Cwburn whic was rcpMe with in-truction, alter whic the following question was discussed, viz Whit is the best method of iucreasin teachers salaried which was discussed at length, three .r four methods beinjr "iven viz. : co-operation of te ichcrs, thoroug qualification, ngi ati xi through the public pres-i, and by Legislative enactments. No definite conclusion was arrived at as to the best method, for we are puinfu ly aware that iSclmoi 1) rectors, ind those who have it in their control, hold on t the ulmijlity d-dlar. with such mi-crly temcity that thy cause the American ca;ie to screech wtt iain. and the GoJdess of liberty to blush wit ; sli tine. It sveins that it would tak some superhuman ctlort to awake tliem to the fict. thit the lbrer is worthy of his hire, o long have they stinted tlie common school teacher.-Many whohudnotyetcxpress- el their views upon that subj- ct, were d' sidus i uo o. u wa- inereioru i.nu over Id be again taken up during the session. TIIURSDAY AFTERNOON. After calling the roll the Institute pro cecded by ballot to elect a committee o five on teachers certificates. The election resulted as follows : Sue Vau Uuskirk Lllen Transue, Johu Appenzeller, Sam uel Shaw aud James Shiffer. Alter which Jiide De Youn address ed the Institute, who said, teachers, you occupy i i: a positions in society, lour dutie are of vast importance. The parent has intrusted you with ti.eir offspring, so please remember that the paths ot learn tug are paths of duty aud responsibility us well as pleasure. You stand in the place of parent and guardian. You should well consider the uature of your business You are now acting upon minds that are flexible, aud they will follow your ex ample. You are acting upon minds that will act upon other mind. He then call eu tlittir attention to a very important qualification, viz : slf government. lh man that has complete command of him self, commands the retpect of others aud hi authority will bo acknowledged II you feel you are inadequately reniunerat ed, look forward to a higher reward, wheu the cares of the school room are forever past. His discourse was replete with good advice throughout, aod we regret that space lorbids a full report He was followed by Mr. Deans, who delivered an address upon Orthography Hu urged upon teachers the importance of teachiug Orthography practically, aud ignored the practice of teaching a child the alphabet by having him repeat his A 13 C's until he had parrot like committed them. He epoke very highly of the phouetic system but did not advise its uc to the exclusion oi all others. He thought it well to combine tho two. Scholars should be able to distinguish the differ euce between a letter and its souud, and time spent in drilling a class in the souuds of letters, would be well spent. He would teach the alphabet, spelling and reading altogether. A class taught in that way, hav ing mastered the alphabet, kuew ?- than the alphibet, taught in the old way, know onlr the alphabet. He also recommend ed that classes be taught to write thei reading lessons, to spell by sentences, aud thus strcugtheu and discipline the mind, and at the same time acquire the habit ol copying. He said finally, that alter many years experience iu teaching, he recom mended, above all other, tho word system ol teaching the alphabit, constant drill iug scholars to call words at eight, exer cises in phonetics, spelling senteuccs, and writing reading lessons. Mr, Watson, Couuty Supt. of Sus-iue luuna followod, upon the ubjoct of teach ing Grammar. He thought the old meth od of teaching grammar all wrong, it wa '4ohit)g wit hunt uuy pnujt, without prju uido, and amounted simply to jargoq. Uo plainly illustrated his method ol teach "g that branch, by taking, 1st, m the unit ot laniruara a sentence. 2d. aualvs- iugthc sentence, iid. narsiuL' each wor.l in the sentence. To assist nuolii iu aualvs- ing sentences, he used Clark's system of diagram's. As to the best, method of earning rules, he laid it was his opinion that the definitions and rules should be perfectly learned. Among the errors of teaching gratnmarjie looked upou neglect ing to correct false syntax, aud passing parsing Ieasons without notice, as the Mr. lioyd then took up and explained multiplication and divisiou of fractions, clearly explaiuiug why iu one case the divisor should be inverted. He also ex plained decimalfractions. Mr. Uoyd is a practical man, and the members ot the Institute are under many obligations to him for the instruction gratuitously given them.: THURSDAY EVENING. J. S. Wahcob lectured Upon some of the fiue arts and their relation to education. Thespeakershowed, first, the influeuceof painting and statuary iu the cultivation ol the taste among the people of Greece and Rome; iu the second place, he showed the influence of the modern painters ol Italy, upon the cultivaliou of the tastes ot the present age. 1 arasins and Phidias among the aucients, Raphael aud Angello among the moderns have cstab lished the laws ot form and beauty for all generations. Poetry should be studied by our teachers, because it elevates our thoughts and affections, and music, the nearest kin of poetry, should be taught in all our schools. I his lecture was ably and beautifully written, and was listened to with great attention C. W. Deans, Esq. followed on the peculiarities of American educatiou. The speaker first referred to the different sys terns of educatiou atnon" the- aucients. Among the Chinese, education was sup ported, as a means of official promotion In India aud Egypt, Priests ouly were coT ucated. 1 heir different systems accoui plished no lasting good, because they were limited to the lew. Io Greece, great pro jjress was made. Uuder her system child reu were regarded as the property of the State aud not of the parent, hence the State made itself responsible for their education Gymnastics aud military discipline found promineut features in the Grecian svstem aud the result was a hardy aud warlike race of men In speaking of the more modern'systems, the Lecturerer said that Luther was uo less a reformer in cduca lion than in religion. Pestaluzzi was : great reformer in methods of teaching. Among the modern system Euglaud, Ger many aud United States, are most pro miuent. 1 he German saystctn is Govern meutal, all children betwecu the axes ol seven and fourteen are compelled by law to attend school. Pcomous aro allowed to old and worn out teachers. The Prus sun system is mot thorough and jet Prussia does not take the lead. Horace Mann accounts for the fact up on the ground that when the scholars leave school they have no chaucc to apply their education. England is behind, shesup- portssailurs, paupers aod condemned eiruu minal.s, but no system of common school I T .1 1.,.. .1 cacuation. in me uuuea ctatcs ttic sys tern is better: Here neither the uattou al government, nor church, nor parent takes the initiative, but our state govern ments hence there is great diversity ol system in diucrent parts ot our couutry Our principal defects are bad educatiou of the few, or the neglect of the man'. Our. educated men are such in spite of our systems, but our failure arises more from the execution of our laws than from our systems of education.' What is waut ed, is a more riorou3 execution of the law and one director would be better than six. The three great defects of our sys tern are, low standard of education, por schooluirectors, and inexperienced teach ers. lie was followed by Hon. S. G lioyd. subject, course of studies proper fur American boys. What is a proper educa tion will be determined by the duty they will be called upon to discharge in f uture life. Development is necessary as well as iniormationr We need good men rather thau smart men. In our education we too much neglect the duties which we owe to society at large. In England and llussia the aristocracy is thoroughly cdu cuted, for upon it devolves the duty ot government, in me cuueu otates tne W .1 IT'. 11.. .1 people are the monarchy, here the people govern and our child reu should thorough ly understand the Geography, history and the nature ot our government, ror ex ample : Why is New England a rnauu fauturing couutry ' and the South produ cers. Ihey are both such Irom necesity The South, with her stagnant streams, will never become a great manufacturing pco pic, and New Eulaud, with her splendid water powers, will never be anything else. I rom the natural condition ot these two sections, spring two opposing systems id political economy protection and Ircc trade ; and we must not attribute differ ence of opinion to a want of patriotism V knowledge ot our constitution is ue eesary in a proper education ot our A merican boys. The bluudcr committed by eight millions of people, had they kuown what loyalty is, would have been avoided. II one part ot the country says loyalty is due to State, as taught by grave College Professors, and the other says it is due to the government, how cati a man commit treason and be punished for it. If on the oue hand, the government, in its threefold co'ordiuate branches dif fer, to whom is loyalty due, or if taught Iroui Ins lufancy that loyalty is due to th State government, it seems hard to punish him tor an error which he was taught from his infancy. Loyalty is due to the nstttution. How many know the fun Jamental distinction between the cousti tution of the Uoitcd States and tho cou stitution of the different States. The for mer can only do what is specifically grant- I.. i .. ea it. the latter can do evervtutuir uot plainly forbidden. Tho speaker urged that high toped, patriotism should to in stilled in the njiqds of all our boyg Our conflicting poljtjcad opinions aro not from jatrod but goograrihieal differences. The whole lecture ura? full of rich and orL'uial thoughts, - ' FRIJUY ' MORNING. Institute opened by reading a portion, Scripture, and prayer by ! I- Storm, President in the Chair, after Wicii some iuctions which the teachers had seut in were distributed and excited much inter est in their solutiou.' Mr. Deans then took the floor, and after making some hu morous remarks, gave instruction in the elementary souuds. Mr. Doyd then took up Allegation and in his able manner explained it, aud clos ed by saying that mathematics required thoagnt, ana tnai u we wisued to become successful teachers we must become ori- inal thinkers. Mr. Watson, followed upon Mental Arithmetic, giving some very plain and practical solutions, to meet all cases, whereas. Stoddard's solutiou,' upon what are culled the age, questions will only solve those of a particular character. AFTERNOON SESSION. On motion of D. S. Lee, the chair ap pointed a committee ot three to draft re solutions. The following were appointed: Mr. Condit, Mr. Gruber and Miss Mary Place, alter which the discus sion of the question, what is the best method of increasing teachers salaries was resumed. .

Resolved, That our hcar'y thinks be re turned to tlios who have so kindly and efii- cietiy instructed us during the session. The County Superintendent then an nounced that the programme had been fin ished, and the time for adjournment had ar rived ; but before di.m;sing the teacher he urged upon them the importance cf the in struction that had been given and briefly reviewed tliem. If the teachers did not put into practical use tht wnici they had learn ed during the Institute, thf time 8ient in coining hiTe would be losu He did not want tliem to form hasty reso!u:ions, but whfn they again meet their pupils, to calni v survey the proceedings of I his week, and then whatever they hive leirncd of use to them to put it inti practice After thank ing the teachers for their almost unanymous response to the call for an Institute a re sponse which will ch illenge comparison with any County in the Siatet he declared the Inrtitute adjourned sine die.
