Institute Reflection.
Judging in? 'be many expressions we
have brd ibe lh'vy-eejiid annual gather
ing of tlie schtsjt teaciiei' of Sonieniet coun
ty will pass into Iwal history a the most
succrssf il institute beld by therti sinte the
atltmdoa of the free u.ool system in Penn
sylvania, fr) many features contributed to
the general success of thia season's meetings
that we caunot attempt to discriminate, but
can only direct oar readers to Ihc number of
columns in this week's IlxstU) devoted tu
a report of eaxh day's seasiot.,
ss
The firmly-built, si'ightly undersized gen
tleman, with bristling beard of black, streak
ed with grey, and, who answered to the
name of Henry Houch, was the prime favor
ite of all the teachers from among the iu
aimctors. The every apperanre of the Deputy-State
Superintendent was the signal for
a round ci applause, and when the last echo
of his pnwerful voice, penetrating to the bel
fry of (he court bouse, bad died sway, all
who bsd listened felt that they bad not only
bten pleasantly entertained, but Ibat they
bad learned something that would furnish
them with food for reflection.
"John and Jonathan," as ail anticipated,
was a comparison of "John Bull" and
" Brother Jonathan," and notwithstanding
the intense democracy of tlie eloquent speak
er, we are inclined to the belief that " Broth
er Jrmatbau " was made to sufler unjustly
by (he comparissA. Ilev. Robert Xourse's
lecture was decitledly tlie roost o:,juir of
the course; entirely free from anecdote, it
none the !t-s abounded with humor of the
happiest and most fascinating order, while
its pathos was touching and sympathetic.
The lessons be sought to teach were driven
home with irresistible logic, and eloquence.
Ilev. Nnnrse would receive a hearty well
come should he be recalled.
The attendance was larger than at any
previous session of institute. And had tae
court room been double its size it would have
been crowded at every session. Hundreds
w ho were anxious to enjoy the tlaiiy treat
provided .re o liable to gain admission to
he building, while hundreds of others who
were more fortunate, were retjuired to pa
tiently stand througho-it tlie entire day.
This may be n'medied when ti e recom
mendations of the several grand juries have
ls-en acted upon and the contemplated re
pairs to the county buildings have been car
ried into effect. It has been suggested that
an addition be built to the court house in
order to provide comfortable quarters f.ir the
grand juv and trjverc juiiis, so long and
so badly needed, aud Sir tiic court Miliary;
that the rooms now occupied for this purpose
be a 1 led to the auditorium and thus relieve
the over crow ding that occurs many times,
at each regular term of court. It might not
b.- out of pla'-e to add in this connection
that if the county commissioners should
feci tlis posed to carry obi the recent jeooin
nieudations of the several grand juries and
expend ?io,ooO in rei .airs to the public build
ings, il.ey need not increase the ratoofuixa
lion to uny appreciable extent.
The total valuation of Somerset county, in
mund numbers, is ?: .ouo,iu. Tue total
valuation of the ave'jje well-to-do farmer
is about f 'I.50H. On this presumption, the
farmer's proportion in taxes of the tJU.iKi)
proposed to be expended in improvements
would be jin.ttt. Now. suppose the coun
ty olilisrates to pay this indebtedne.-s in a
period of twenty years, said farmer's taxes
would bffiucreased 5J cents for each year of
taid tcriod.
' The elegant old Irish gentleman " of
song and fame was brought to mind with the
appearance of famous. s:Ier-tongued I'aniel
IViugherty. His ?tijiig face, sweetly modu
lated voice, gratx' of movement and faultless
manner, together with his measured and
prei ise diction, gained him the rr.pt atten
tion of the vast audience who were present
on the third evening of the course. Not
withstanding his lecture was full of infor
mation, instruction, and anecdote, it was
none the less a disappointment to a large
proiKjriion of bis audience, among whom
the writer is no: to be numbered. The dis
apiminted had led tliemselvcs to expect an
evening of declamation and sieci:uen of
oratory. This of course they got iu very
limited quantities, but they were not preiar
ed to learn what constiiutes oratory, and
how orators are ma le. With the exception
of Tic.si lore Tilton s " The World's To-morrow"
delivered in the institute course of
some half-dozen years ago. we numln-r this
as the finest lecture ever delivered before a
Somerset pubiic.
.
Miss Bird Harrison sustained tlie reputa
tion given herin these columns several weeks
before the asscmbiingof the pedagogues, and
!"rm the first evening sdie sung her way near
er and wearer to t!.;ir hearts. It is n.it often
that one see- so much loveliness eiK-omjiass-cd
in one human, and when it possesses a
voice that trills and sighs with the joyous-ne-sand
teu.kniesa of the birds of the air,
one needs must a-knowletlire its subtle
charm, notwithstanding Mr. Horr and Prof.
NelT told u su U sing-lug is unsympathetic
and is not true art.
Trof. Baer found time between his engage
ments nt institute to trace the Baer family
connection in this county. His talks were
greatlv enjoved by the teachers.
Hon. U. li. Ilorr s aiiernoon talk to the
teachers was one of the most enjoyable feat
ures of the week, uotwiihslanding the em
barrassment he caused the favorite, Mr.
Ilout li. The exchange of p!ca.antiit- be
tween tliese two geotleai-.'ii was very aiirth
pr.jvt.klng but not laciiing in interest. Mr.
Horr s partiality for young teacliers was
p ot.ular w ith his audience.
Tlie final lecture ol the course, "The
Oenuine r.i. Shams." in the estimation of
many, fell far short of Mr. Horr s eirori of
two yea-sag" when he discoursed oil "The
Labor rrsdilem." The learned gentleman is
essentially comic in facial expression and
gesture and bis two bours talk was replete
with humor aud ridiculous comparison.
Nor was this all, for hi pjintel out w:t a un
erring distinction, many of the follies which
the present aje hare fallen into and projsis
ed their remedy.
.
It is generally accented, we h-iicve, that
the recent coarse of lectures was the best
througiKcit that we have yet enjoyed, and
Snr-ri!itenk-ul Berkey is justly entitled to
the thanks of all who bat! the pleasure of
hearing them. Tiie thanks for the week's
entertainment will be more earnest when it
is generally known that the County Super
intendent was coiisi.Jcrably out of pocket
when all accounts were squared.

OUR HARRISBURG LETTER.
From our special C arrespotiiK ut.
HsRBtsBCau, Jan. 5. 18S3.
The meeting of the Genera! Assembly was
rather tame affair. Coming as it did oil
New Year's day the nmliers took the oalb
of office with rather solemn grace. For
some weeks before tbe meeting of the Legis
lature the Slate was full of rumors of a
fight that was to lake place over ths organ
ization, but tbe Slate as fixed up by that as
tute politician. Senator Quay, went through
so smoothly and with so little friction that
there was scarcely any need of a caucus of
the Republican members of tbe House.
Hon. Henry K. Boyer was re-elected speak
er by a uoauimous vote, mncb to the de
light of all the old members who were fully
acquainted with bis eminent fitness for tbe
chair. The speeches made at tbe caucus in
nominating snd seconding tlie nomination
were very complimentary indeed.
Tbe nomination and election of John W.
Morrison Chief Clerk of tbe House, in opposi
tion to the re-election of Sam Loch, of Scb uyl
kill, was no surprise, but it was a wonder
how little opposition there was to this new
departure as the old Chief Clerk always stood
in with the ring. But the ways of politics are
like those spoken of in the Scripture, past
finding out. The only thing known is that
Mr. lAoch was left in the soup. There are
few meu better qualified and better liked
than the present Chief Clerk, Mr. Monison.
Mr. Loch did not give entire satisfaction ;
besides, it was reported that he was a kick
er last fall, when so much depended npon
Republican success, that a bare suspicion of
the kind was sufficient to defeat bint. The
rest of the organization of tbe House went
to a special committee of twenty who in time
appointed a sub-committe of seven. Repre
sentative Fugh from your county was ow
both of these committers, and did good work
towards bringing alwul the end desired,
peace and harmony, but be stood by the
Slate all the same. The report of the com
mittee ;ives pretty general satisfaction : at
least, there were but few, if any, who did not
accept what thoy got with a good grace, aud
not one worj was offered in opjiosition to
t'ne rejort of the committee either at the
meeting of the comiiiUee on Tuesday morn
ing or snlisequeistly at the meeting of tlie
House so well was tbe machine oi'ed.
Somerset County got an i:ppointiiiet)t in
the person of Adam (irlmm, of Stoyestown
Assistant Door-keeper. Thij is said to be the
woik of Hon. Noah S. Miller, hut there are
those who think Puh knew ouielliiag of
it.
The Assembly met at 12 m. on Tuesday,
January lt, when the caucus nomination
for Speaker was placed before the House,
when, to the surprise id nearly every one,
the I' -mxTats placed lite glibber! longued
Wherry, of Cumberland county, in nomina
tion in opjitisitiou to Boyer. It was thought
that the Iirruocrats had abandoned all hope,
as up hi that time nothing had been heard
from i hem. It seems they still have a linger

Speaker Boyer was elected by the unusually
large Republican majority of one hundred
and sixty-live votes, ami John W. Morrison,
Clerk, by the same number.
After the election, Speaker Boyer was con-dui-ted
to the chair, when he ruade a very
sensible address on the proper things for the
Legislature to do. A committee was appoint
ed to wait up hi the ttovernor aud inform
him that the House wasorganized and ready
for any business lie might wish to lay before
it. They soon returned with word that
the Governor would report in writing, when
bis private Secretary appeared with a large
roll of manuscript, which every one knew
was the message of 15,tXm words.
A lecess was taken until 4 o'clock, when
the House again convened to listen to the
reading of the State paper, but inasmuch as
an evening paper bail the same published,
there was not so much interest taken in its
reading. It is a very wise and able mes
sage, and contains much that will be useful
to the members, if they will study it with
care.
In the Senate about tbe same scene was
enacted, except that in the selection of a
Chief Clerk they w ere not as fortunate as the
House. 1.1 spite of every erTort to get ex
Chief Clerk Cochran, of Lancaster, w ith Rus
sell Errett, of Pittsburgh, eleccted without a
tight, it could not be done. Every induce
ment was o tiered to the ex-Clerk not to go
into a fight in the Senate caucus, but be
could not bcndiicedto withdraw ; be claim
ed to have nineteen written pledges out of
tlfc thirty-tour Republican Senators, and he
insisted in trying his strength and seeing
who his friends really were ; he received but
ten votes out of the thirty-four. He was
disupiRiinted, but bore the defeat nobly. Tbe
return of Errett, afur twelve years' alisence
is a surprise to many. His a is against him,
and msny think it was a mbtake, since there
is to be a new deal all around.
II. H. Dull received an appointment of
Chief Messenger through Senator Alexan
der. He is well liked, and w ill make a good
officer.
Both houses met at II o'clock on Wed
nesday morning, and held a short session,
when an adjournment was taken for a week,
to give the Speaker time to make up the
Committees. The session promises to be
short, and of not a very great deal of im
portance. The Constitutional Amendment
Resolution will be passed among the fiist
acts of both branches, snd the Revenue bill
will receive early attention.

?rot Berkey then ini rod need Hon. Daniel
Dongherty, in "Orators and Oratory. He
said:
" I propose to giv a few thoughts on ora
tors. Genius can assume nothing mors won
derful than oratory. The orator can inspire
all ibe passions fear, grief, love, patriot
ism, creed, traitorous designs anything.
He who possesses this rare gift, if be does not
abuse it, has a power over tbe race for good
possessed by few, and can mold them to his
wtil.
Muny prefer tbe debater, ready on the mo
ment to refute the argument of his opponent
and confute them with the foreeof his logic.
Others prefer the scholar, preparing in his
Rtudy the pages that be reatis to his audience.
The ideal of still others, is the declainier. If
these be orators, tben the country is full of
them.
It may be said that comparatively few
mortals ever bad the combined gifts of the
orator. Every speech, tbe vein of which is
to persuade, must stand on a firm basis of
common sense. and must not violatetlie laws
of good taste. The orator should be as he
was in Rome and Athens a scholar. It is
in the delivery before the audience that the
true orator appears. You will remember
that Demosiheues declared the three requi
sites of the orator to be action, action, ac
tion. I prefer the dictum of laird Lytton,
acting, acting, acting. Cicero expressed the
same thought when he says he must know
what to say and how to soy iu He Irnrther
says, the orator must possess the memory of
lawyers, the dicliou of poets.
This is the wwer ofthe orator who, with
out scenery, by the mere power of his voice,
sways the multitude. This was the power
that the Maceoonisn dreaded more than the
phalanx, that saved Rome, that awakened
France, that kindled the fires of our Revolu
tion, tlfat gave to Ireland her only years of
lilwrty. When the orator calls into play his
utmost powers, it is more than the reason
that is to be swayed; iris tassion all the
jiassicns of the mind. How is it that ver
dicts are so often won, despite iaw, oaths, the
Solemn surniuudings of ibe C'rt ? It is be
cause the fiower of oratory causes the pas
sions to unbalance the pocer of the head.
Thtreare occasions when all that is to be
aimed at is to please. A lawyerwhoattenipts
to address a bench of Judges will convince
them ofthe little knowledge he possesses of
his duty if be attempts to appeal to their
passions on acold question of law.
It ia the glory of oratory that its most il
lustrious interpreters have been men of un
blemished integrity. It may be that the
ablest speeches we read have been written
before fjerhal after delivery. The speech
of Welister in reply to Hayne. was delivered
from only a few notes ; so the sjieeches of
Pitt have never been preserved.
A lectare may be delivered to twenty au
diences, but a genuine speech is deliered to
but one audience, and is called out by the
peculiar circumstances of the occasion. It is
said that Curran and Brongham prepared
those splendid bursts of eloquence in w hich
tliey indulgee. The style of delivery varies
with the individual ; Cicero, after a splendid
speech, was enervated for days. The Eng
lish people have changed ; read the speechts
ofChatham, and then read the eechcs; of
the age of Victoria.
It has been said that at tne present day an
oratorical effort would not be tolerated in
tbe House of Commons. (The lecturer her
illustrated the manner of several prominent
memtiers of tbe English Parlirment. Strange
as these mannerisms seem to us, they are in
accord with the taste of the English House
ofComroons to-day. In the parliamentary
debates all that is required is sense, and if
I hat be present, it matters not how rough
the manner, bow rugged the rhetoric. The
deliatrs are only talking, ami talking just as
llie country member wonld talk at hisoflice
or factory. But don't consider me as un
derrating the English House of Commons.
It is snpposed by some that a new field is
opened in our pew field of lectures, thus
ruviving a custom of;(lreece and Rome. A
lecture is realty not a speech.
The (inert field for oratory is the pulpit;
every advantage attemis the pulpit orator.
But strange as it may seem, 'tis a rare thing
to hear an orator in the polpif. A Divine
asked tiarrirk: "How is it that you actors
produce an effect by specking fiction?"
(iarrick answered : " We actors fjicak fic
tion as tuoogji it were truth, while you Di
vines speak truth ss though it were fiction."
The greatest drawback to oratory in the pul
pit is the character ofthe sermons delivered.
Nobody denies the ability of the men who
fill the pulpit, bu! their sermons are cold,
abstract essays. The great aim ofthe pnl
pif is not to convince the mind, but to teach
tbe heart.
The preiclicr has the most unlimited com
mand of resources. He can command all
tbe (lassions; everything dreaded; all that is
touching, whatever is touching, be can use.
Next to the pulpit the ffnst field f r orators
is stump speaking, as we rail it. A fine
example is given by Sliaksrs-re in his play
of Julias Ca-sar by Antony's speech over
the dead body of Cifsar ; Brutus bail appar
ently captivated tiie Assnibly;Marc Antony
enuies and by exciting synijitliy he ends
by carrying them with him, and tliey burn
the houses of Urutiis and the rest, and drive
them from Rome.
The days of oratory have passed away. Il
may be that in the future men will be lorn
who will rival the oratory of the days tJiat
are gone. Oratory ran never wholly die so
long as liberty un in-, The powerVf the or
ator sank when the priming press anee. Tl'.a
orator may move an audiente; tbe press can
move a nation. Let the press be true to
itself, as tbe orator has been ; never u-ing its
influence whre It should not ; never sup
porting wrong in preference to right. If It
shall do this iu tlie future, no one w ill regft-t
that the days of oratory are past.

Music by the Institute "Help il on."
Talk on music in the school, by J. D.
Meese, Meyerstlale, .
"Music should be taught in all our echnols.
Every school-room should contain an organ.
Iion't irsuade yourselves that good music
consists in lond yelling. If the teacher can't
sing let him get some teacher to read. There
are two things that will tie accomplished in
five years from now. lt. There will be an
organ in three-fourths of the school-morns
in the county. 2nd. The majority of the
teachers of the county will be lady teachers."
What is the relative importance of the
branches taught in ortr schools ?
fi. M. Baker "All tlie branches are im
portant. We must learn to spell and to read
before we can study geography and gram
mar, etc. What the routuiaiion is to the
building or the vine to the branch, spelling
is to the oilier branches."
John Williams. Jr.. ' Can't tell just the
relative importance,"
Mr. Freasc "Can't tell tlie relative im
portant, but think the branch we use most
is reading I ian in the worhL"
X. H. SanrK-r thinks language lessons the

raner Miss Helen Sliaff:
"Primary teaching is the most important
work done in tbe scbocd-room. Teach by
example. Don't do what yon sWbid the
children to do. Ia all well organized bodies
the first thing is rule. We shonld nave tbe
classes that can write, plare at least two dai
ry lessons on the bh k board. It isnoi a had

on the subject of teeth iu physiology; a

wilU pencils, and aids the teacher eery ma

Scolding"
C. F. Li venguod "Mistakes iu Teaching."'
"A good school and a "good teacher are a
credit to the community, and it is a credit to
a pnpil to attend a good school. Let us look
on the bright side of things rather than on
the dark side. The first mistake is that schol
ars are cot properly graded. In many
schools tbe parents grade tbe schools instead
of the teacher. They buy the books and tell
tbe child to study them. Tliey buy the
large1 ariibnietic, for instance, when they
shonld buy the primary, etc., etc. Thus
children gain only a few smattering ideas
when they should have clear knowledge In
spelling in our schools they taka a speller
like Patterson's or Buckwaiter s and they
can SI1I every word, but in review papers,
they miss the most simple words. In read
ing, they hare a fifth reader when they
should bar a third reader. In arithmetic,
we make it a hobby. I've bat! a number of
hobby boys in my classes, but I generally
found them to know aofluHp really of arith
luetic. 1Q many schools nothing is done in j
grammar except the committing of a fcw j
definitions, and in some of the schools a lit- J
tie diagraming and that is all. In history i
thry are not taught. Pre seen a bright class
ss far as tlie French ami Indian war, and
caunot tell who discovered America, or who
discoveted the Pacific Oean.
Children learn to wriio some of intra

can't write compositions ; can't write a let
