Report of Teachers County Institute.
Monday's proceedings.
The Institute was called to order bj the
President ex-officio, Mr. Morey, 'who stated
its object and thinps necesary to its suc
cess, in au appropriate address. Mr. J. K.
Andre and Mr. J. T. Griffin were elected
secretaries bj acclamation. The prelimi
nary business beino; promptly disposed of,
the subject of reading was taken up at the
suggestion of the chairman. This exercise
was introduced by J. T. Grifin, who took
the ground that reading was a vocal art,
that it is learned by imitation and should
be taught by example. A lively discussion
ensued in which it was plainly shown that
short lessons, a knowledge of the subject,
orthography and meaning of words, consti
tute the principal parts of a recitation.
Prof. "V. W. WoodrufT was then introduc
ed to the teachers of Monroe. This gen
tleman continued the exercises by address
ing the convention on the subject of spel
ling, lie considered spelling and reading
of more importance than arithmetic. There
arc two methods of teaching spelling, oral
and written. The vocal organs are disci
plined by oral exercises. In order to as
sist the pupils in pronunciation, and thus
enabling them to study their spelling les
sons intelligently, the teacher should pro
nonuce the worda when the lesson is as
signed. After a short recess, Mr. J. II. Bush,
spoke of the aid teachers should give pupils.
Give all the assistance that time will allow.
Let every teacher have a period for miscel
laneous business. Lead pupils to discov
er ideas instead of telling them all about
any subject.
Prof. Woodruff, concluded the proceed
ings of the day by presenting his excellent
method of teaching United States History.
It can be taught successfully without books.
Tell pupil.- what is going on and what has
taken place. Incidents relative to the for
mation of our government will not only be
interesting, but will iudeliibly impress his
torical facts upon the pupil's mind. It is
important for the teacher to be prepared
to give oral exercises.
TCi'dbAY.
Morning. Opened by reading a few
appropriate passages of Scripture.
Prof. Woodruff, began the exercises of
the day by seme practical remarks on the
Objects of the Recitation. The principal
object? are, first : to cultivate attention.
Without attention the teacher's efforts will
be unsuccessful ; second J the cultivation of
the memory; third, the cultivation of the
perceptive power ; fourth, to ascertain
whether the pupil has reflected.
How to teach English Grammar to ele
mentary classes, was opened by Mr. Yics
ly. It is not necessary to require pupils
to commit every abstract principle in the
book. Begin by teaching the idea of
nouus, followed by their properties, the or
der of which should be number, person and
gender. To teach English Grammar suc
cessfully, illustrations independent of the
book must be given. Mr. L. Van Vliet,
indicated his method of teaching the rudi
ments of grammar by a class drill. Remarks
were also made by Mr. Transueand others.
After a short recess the Institute was
favored by music, "Even me."
Then the subject of Business Arithme
tic wan presented to the convention by Mr.
J. K. Andre. Pupils should be required
to solve a large number of practical prob
lems not found in the text. The teacher
should collect or compose actual business
problems and give them to his classes fcr
solution.
Prof. Woodruff made some pertinent re
maks on pronunciation. Closed with
music, uWhen you are in trouble."
AFTERNOON.
Opened with music, "America." The In
stitute was then favored with an interest
ing talk by Prof. Woodruff, on the var
ious methods of teaching spelling. Suffi
cient Phonetic spelling should be taught
pupils to show them that words are not
spelled according to sound alone. Music,
"Even me."
Among the excellent exercises of this
session was, an essay on "punishment" by
C. S. Smith, of East Stroudsburg. The
essay was a gem in thought and language.
Natural and unnatural methods of punish
ment were poitayed with a vividness that
displayed the ability of the author and
dieted applause by the audience.
Recess, Music, "Denis."
The subject of school government was
admirably handled by Prof. 'Woodruff.
The practicability of having no rules
was clearly demonstrated by the speaker.
The teacher should learn how to render
assistance, and he should behave well him
self in drdcr to attain success in school gov
ernment. "How cau a teacher inspire pu
pils to work" was thoroughly ventilatea by
Mr. M. A. De L. Van Horn. The line be
tween proper and improper incentive to
study was distinctly drawn. This gentle
man warned the teachers of the pernicious
effects resulting from the prize system of
inspiring pubils to work. The fluency with
which the address was delivered indicated
the speakers command of language.
MUSIC CORONATION.
Prof. Woodruff after answering a few
general questions concluded the allernoon
session by a class drill in spelling, followed
by adjournment.
EVENING.
Music "Even me."
The lecturer of the evening, Prof. Wood
ruff, selectod as his subject "Education is
a good thing." The speaker proved hin
rtlf master cf hi3 theme. Th lecture wag
practical and cnlivned, now and then, with
scintillations of wit. The evening's enter
tainment was still further improved by a
"Pronuncing Bee." Considerable merri
ment was created by the failure of a class
cf teachers in pronouncing simple words.
WEDNESDAY.
Morning. After reading of the script
ures followed by music, Prof. Woodruff
made some pertinent remarks on "The ob
jects of Recitation." The recitation is well
desinged for the cultivation of easy manners
and the development of intellectual power.
It affords the teacher an opportuity to pre
sent matter not found in the book, and to
simplify difficult subjects in the next. Mr.
Amzi Tricble called attention to the best
methods of teaching addition and subtrac
tion. Other members of the Institute ad
vanced some excellent ideas on this subject.
Recess and Music.
Prof. Woodruff again resumed "Pro
nunciation." What he had to say was to
the point and did not fail to benefit the at
tentive teachers.
The next exercise was "Language Les
sons," conducted by C. S. Smith. The im
portance of organizing classes in Language
was ably set forth. The following out line
for teaching language was given :
1. Teach what a sentence is.
f 1. Declarative,
1 Kinds 2. Asking sentences,
(3. Commanding sentences.
2. Punctuation and capitals.
3. Give words and put in sentences.

This exercise was followed by music then
adjournment.
AFTERNOON.
Prof. Woodruff resumed the subject of
History. He said that it ia a good exer
cise to give pupils a sketch of the discov
ery of America by Columbus and the Ca
bots. They ought to know something of
the popular men who have figured in their
country's history. Teach them something
about the leading officers of the govern
ment. Inform them wheu each State was
admitted to the Union. Who invented the
"Cotton Gin," give account of Indian troub
les, the whiskey rebellion, Washingtons'
farewell address and other important
events.
Mr. J. K. Andre conducted a "Clas3
Drill" in the use of marks, designating the
sound of letters and account. An appli
cation in use of marks denoting the use of
vowel sounds was made. After a short
recess the audience, which was very large,
joined in singing "America." Prof. Wood
ruff said, upon resuming the subject of
Pronunciation that constant drill was
neccessaty, to acquaint pupils with the
correct utterance of words.
Mr. J. II. Bush showed in a deliberate
manner the use of the black board. It
can be used successfully in teaching every
branch of study. Adjourned.
EVENING.
First in order was music "Winoa." The
chairman, Mr. Morey, then introduced the
lecturer, Dr. G. D. Carrow, who was
greeted by a large and intelligent audience.
The theme of the discourse was "The Span
iard in the Old aud New World." The
speaker, having prefaced his address by
relating an amusing incident of personal
experience, entered upon the delivery of his
discourse in the most attractive style. The
character of the Spaniard in the old and
new world was depicted with an energy of
language and justness of thought, typical
only of a scpolarly mind. The historian,
orator and philosopher were strikingly dis
played in the speaker's fitting comparisons,
the word painting of the character of Ig
natius Loyola, the analysis of Spanish chiv
alry and its influence upon the nations of
the old world, and iu the masterly argu
ments, showing the causes that produced
the demoralization of Spanish society in the
new world. tiisrDAY.
Morning. Reading of the Scriptures
aud music. Prof. Woodruff presented in
a practical manner the course of study to
be pursued in the common school. It must
not bo too systematical. Begin with read
ing which is best taught by charts, use the
black board extensively in teaching read
ing. Give mental exercises in arithmetic.
Teach spelling constantlly. , Writing may
be taught successfully the first year. Re
marks on this subject were also made by.
M. L. Henry and others.
Discount was elucidated by J. II. Fen
ner. His thorough acquaintance with this
subject enabled him to give some excellent
methods of solution.
Recess and music.
Prof. Woodruff resumed "Course of
Study." His remarks were brief and to
the point. The exercises were continued
by J. K. Andre on school etiquette. The
chairman urged the teachers to observe
the best rules of etiquette in the school
room. .
This session was concluded by Prof.
Woodruff on Teachers' Needs. His needs
are as follows : 1st. good health ; 2d.
good common sense ; 3rd. good address ;
4th. poverty ; this, he said was a good
qualification, for it is a rare thing to meet
a good teacher who is rich ; 5th. He should
be intelligent.
ATTEROON
opened with music.
Prof. Woodruff presented gcfcool'govern-
raent in a manner that interested the au
dience. We should govern by the eye. A
look is more significant than boisterors
words. Kindness in governing is more ef
fectual than expressions of anger. Good
emotions are awakened in a boy by assum
ing that there is something good in him.
We should discriminate between pupils
who have kind treatment at home and those
who have never received the kiss of love.
Keep all the children employed. Do not
strive to prohibit all noise in the school
room. After the Prof, had finished this
subject, he read by request of the Institute,
an amusing letter which he had in his
possession. Mr. C. S. Smith gave his meth
od of teaching writing. Teachers gave
strict attention to this part of the proced-ings.
Recess : Music, "America."
After several questions on
tcaching
writing had been answered by Mr. Smith,
Prof. Woodruff, indicated his method of
teaching emphasis by a class drill at the
close of which the Institute abjourned till
7:30 P. M.
EVENING.
Opened with music.
A lecture by Prof. Woodruff. Subject, j
"Success and Failure." The lecture was
well written and delivered with energy.
The strict attention given by a large audi
ence attested its appreciation. Adjourned.
FRIDAY.
Opened by reading of the Scriptures and
music. Prof. Woodruff finished the sub
ject "Course of Stud)." "The use end
meaning of words," was taken up by J. K.
Andre. The meaning of words is indclli
bly impressed on the pupil's mind by illus
trations. Instructions in the u?e and mean
ing of words should be given in every class.
After a short recess Prof. Woodruff de
livered his closing address in which ho
again touched our Teacher's Needs.
The following gentlemen compose the
committee on permanent certificates : C. S.
Smith, Amzi Trtible. J. II. Fenuer, S. S.
Lcsh and J. K. Andre.
The closing address by the chairman
commanded the strictest attention of the
audience. The most important part of the
week's proceedings were briefly referred to.
He urged in the strongest language the ne
cessity of a practical application of what
had boon learned at the Institute. Ad
journed. There are a few general topics worthy
of note.
The number cf teachers in attendance
was ninety. This was a good turnout con
sidering the fact that there was some illib
erally on the part of directors in not grant
ing the time to the teachers while at the
convention. Much satisfaction has been
expressed with reference to the practical
programme which had been arranged. A
pleasant feature of the Institute was the
music, conducted by Prof. J. A. Clemens,
of Stroudsburg. The character of the ser
vice which his excellent musical attainments
enabled him to render the Institute, was
highly appreciated by all. The audiences
were large aud appreciative.
A PART OF PENNSYLVANIA'S
TERRANEAN WEALTH.
SUB-
THE ENORMOUS RICHES THAT NINETY-SIX
FORTUNATE LANDOWNERS ARE GAINING
FROM THE MINING OF THE MOST USE
FUL OF THE METALS.
Lebanon, Penn., Dec. IS. About six
miles south of this borough, and 1C0 west
from New York, are the famous Cornwall
iron hills, the richest in the world, that
have made many millionaires in the past,
and are still making them as rapidly as ever.
Surrounding this vast deposit of iron ore
is the largest landed estate in Pennsylvania,
if not the largest east of the Allechenies.
It is made up of the Cornwall, and Speed
well farms, containing 22.000 acres, and is
owned by the heirs of Robert W. and Wil
liam Coleman. It is reached from Lcbanou
over a fine, wide road, hard and level. The
hills, three in number, arc so rich in iron
that millions of dollars could not buy them.
They have been taking thousands and thou
sands of tons from them yearly for the past
quarter of a century, and as yet they are
not off the surface- All the ore mining is
done by daylight. They have no shafts,
and there is no underground work. They
have railroad tracks all over the hills, and
the cars are filled with the mineral scooped
from the surface.
The hills are known as Big Hill, Mid
dle Hill, and Grassy Hill. Big Hill is over
400 feet high, and has a base covering more
than forty acres. It is shaped like a cone,
and a serial railway winds its way around
it. Middle Hill is 200 yards from Big
Hill. It is about 200 feet high, and covers
about thirty-five acres. Years of constant
mining have made little impression against
its rugjre-d sides. Ore was taken from it
during the American Revolution to furnish
cannon and shot, of which specimens are
held at Cornwall to-day as relics. Grassy
Hill lies south-west of Middle Hill, at a
distance of 100 yards. It has been worked
for more than twenty years, is nearly 150
feet high, and covers about thirty acres.
These vast deposits were purchased with
the rest of the estate many years ago for
about SG75. Here, too, are situated the
magnificent summer residences of the own
ers of the estate, who live in regal splendor.
The ore is at present mined ly the Corn
wall Ore Bank Company, with J. Taytar
Boyd, a practical miner, as superintendent.
Tho metal is a maguetic oxide, containing a
large proportion of iron pyrites, which un
der atmospherio influence changes from the
sulphuret of iron into a sulphate soluble in
water, and is . washed away by th rz ia.
Thc nearer it h to the surface the freer it
is from sulphur. Ona of the most com
plete iron furnaces in the world built
here. It is called the "Bird Coleman"
furnace. It is of stone and iron, and cost
about S350.000. It has a capacity of 25tf
tons cf pig metal per week. It was com
pleted on the day of Jay Cook's failure.
There are also eight other furnaces, all con
nected by rail. On this estate is the best
paying railroad in the world. It Is six
miles long, leading from the Hills to the
Lebanon Valley Railroad, which runs
east and west, connecting Harrisburg and
Reading. Twelve years after ground
was first broken, the receipts of the road
paid for its construction, equipment, an
nual running expenses and repairs. It is
purely a private freight road built by the
Colemans. Copper is also found on the
estate, and is sent to the U. S. mints to be
conrerted into coin.
The Cornwall form contains 15,000 acres.
It is not divided into the distinct tracts,
but is one continnous piece of land, of which
105 acres are taken up by the ore hills".
The rest is ia a high state of cultivation.
There arc fifty miles of road on it in con
stant use. The entire estate is under the
control of cne overseer and his six assist
ants. The tenantry number , about oca
thousand, men. women and children who
live here happy and contented. The strang
er is reminded by their appearance of the
estates and tenantries of Great Britain. The
workmen are paid in cash every month:
They can purchase at the store of the ea
tate much cheaper than at the city shops.
They buy their Hour, corn, &c, at greatly
reduced prices at the large mill cf the es
tate. They have .a fine church, post-office,
and school, as well as other necesary build
ings. The soil is rich and has immense de
posits of linaestane. There is a brick yard
and a large sandstone quarry. They have
their own carpenters, blacksmiths, and
other artisans, and they will shortly weave
their own cloth from the wool which they
raise. Cornwall will then be a complete
little world in itself, almost entirely in
pendent of outside help.
The Speedwell division h a part cf the
estate devoted to stock raising, which is
made a specialty. Hucireds "of the best
draft hurses and roadsters and the choicest
