Best Thins of the ln&e, Host Successful Assemblage of Teachers in tlia Histo ry of the County. BE3T CORPS IKSTSUCTOES. Unprecedented Attendance of Pa trons of the Public Schools. The Thirty Sixth Annual Session of the Somerset County Teachers' Institute is a thing of the past; but its good work, like oid John Brown's soul, "goes marching on." It was the most successful asssniblage of ides marksmen erer gathered together to this eoanty. Every se-jsi on was attended by enprsce dented large n-irahera. Tbe interest mati Tested at the opening se-si-.n was rKairtrd until the chairman's garei fell announcing that the Institute for 152 was "now shut." The corps cf iust-ucters stand oat in bold relief when compared with the many learn ed men who preceded ttu-ra. Tue evening entertainments were furnish ed fcy the test talent obtainable. Ganty Superintendent Berkey richly de servti the end jrseiuent for re electloa gener ously voted him by the School Directors in convention assembled. The teachers hare returned to the "little whi-e schocl house on the hill-top ;" many of them inspired to do better work for the children intrusted to theircare, by putting into practice the valuable lessons learned during the week ; while othei . will cat ft new lot of birches and will agaia take op the fallacious idea of transmitting knowl tJt through the nerve tracks that lie must convenient to the sitting down place of the stuall boy's anatomy. Tae school manus were so petted and complimented on ail sides that it must prove singular indeed if they do not sigh and sigh their pretty little hearts sick for more, more Institute. How ever, pra-tice and perseverance at the songs bet -veeu the red covers of their new song books may brirg them hack to ft realixatioa of duty, and "What day of the week is it T' "Say, yes, sir." 'Say, uo, sir." "Cla-s 1 li jw many departments are there in music " rt'Lat day of the week is it?" i What a deuciously jolly teacher Prof. Les lie is, to be sare! And how he did manage to hold the attention of all the teachers and at the same time keep ihera convulsed with laughter. It ia needless to add that many corset strings bare had to be repaired, and that the roaag men bare been obliged to have sew buttons sewed onto their waist coats, too. It wasn't a one-sided affair by any means. The boys ha-ha-eU erery time tbe young ladies snickered. But the serious part of the Institute is what we started to write about. Last week we n terred to Prof. DeMotte, His subsequent work confirmed tbe opinion expressed then. Not a word fell from his lips but that was la letted with information and a afed the thcttphi of his hearers in new directions. He was so clear in all of bis utterances and his subjects were ail of such an interesting character, esciaiiy in regard to recent de velopments iu the scientific world, that all filt, if they did not express, dissatisfaction when he was compelled to give way for the next instructor. It is impossible in the scope of newspaper article to give anything like a comprehensive review of any one of Deilotte's several talks, perhaps tha most instructive cf which was that on recent de velopments in electricity. EE. EE. WHITE. Dr. E. E. White, of Columbus, 0., if we may be permitted the expression, was the "star performer" of the institute. Imagine an elderly, dignified gentleman, six feet tall, straight es aa arrow, neatly croppd gray whiskers, gold rimmed glasses, biding a pair of penetrating, msgniticent eyes, the classic features of ft scholar, exceedingly modest, roice low and modulated ia accents cf gentleness, and you hare Dr. White. It caa be truthfully said, without any dis pantcement to the many learned and elo quent men who have appeared before our rcuuty institutes that they can consider themselves especially favored to be assigaed a scat at Dr. White's feet. But wby shouldn't Dr. White be pre-eminent among instructors and teachers? His entire l.fe has been devoted to labor in the cauxe of ed ucation. He commenced his career as teach er of a country district school and has pass ed tbrocga erery stage cf school life from that to President ofa leading unirersity. A number cf the most popular school text books are the work of his pen. and few men in the world of letters to-day are better known or more highly esteemed. Dr. White's lectures were all so impressively de iiveied and were all on such absorbing top ics that the teacher who tailed to compre hend him or absorb some information from tbe rast amount be imparted, must bare been rery obtuse indeed and should not be employed as teacher of a school. Cae suj.trt taken up and anaiyred by Dr. White, that could not fail to leave its im press upon ail who beard him was in re gard to the absurdity of throwing away val uable time teach inr T. lglish Grammar in country scheols, or until scholars hare ac quired power to constrnct : to write letters, ci mpose paragraphs, describe objects and articles ia good li .glish. Gram-jar," said the Dr., "is analytic, and analyzing bever construes anything ; it tears dawn. It ia n uch more desirable to teach scholars to build, to construct. This is synthetic. In n.y judgmi-at English grammar has no place ia the common schools ; what we had far better teach is composition, in order that the pupil can express himself clearly and purely. 1 would much rather have a son of mine sble to write a letter in good English, capitals properly used, and correctly punctu ated, thaa to Lave him able to solve ail the problems in any arithmetic. You can nev er learn to write by Siudyiag grammar." Dr. While illustrated the point he wished to make by the story of poor English lad who Lad entered the Cleveland schools whi.e he was principal. The boy was igno rant for nis age and was given ft place in grade advanced beyond bis knowledge. He worked hard but was unable ka keep up with Lis classes. Finally the day arrived w hen the pupils were told to write composi tions on given subject and leave thein oa the principal's desk the day following. Toe Dr. was anxious to know no a- his little Eng lishman would perform bit duty ; so when the lad deposited his oompnai lion on tbe desk it was kept separate from the otberr. Whea the Dr. first read it be concluded that tt.e lad bad copied it from some book. He determined to ascertain and, going to the la I, he sut-jecte J him to aa examination. He learned that the English boy bad gone to school in his native country and that his firmer teacher compelled all hia scholars to study composition. They llgan by writing letters to their fathers, mothers, or friends. Tbe letters were submitted to the teacher a id he pointed out the mistakes : capttalixalion, panctoatioo, cetupiauion ; and then required tbe pupils to re-write them. Weil, this little man soon outstrip ped ail of bis competitors, secured a position on ft newspaper as reporter and is now able to dictate hia own salary as ft literry writer. The Dr. advises that s class should be first asked questions about some object or sub ject, and when tbe teacher has drawn out ail the information ia this way possible, then have his scholar reduce what they bare learned to writing. The meet important lecture delirered by Dr. White, and one especially edspted to tbe schools of tbe town of Somerset ia par ticular, was on M. ral Training." It was an address of wonderful power and purity. The necessity of sach training U so urgent that we herewith reproduce aa much of what he said npoo the subject as possible. Tbe speaker prefaced bis remarks by- relat ing an incident that came under his obei ration in the schools of Cincinnati. The tescher was ynucc lady and sbe was giv ing her class a lesson on Reverence, (the told the following story frcra the Greek : 'The soens was theater ia Corinth. One side cf the rtst auditorium was ooenpied by the youth of ttiat city and the o her by tbe young men of Sparta. Just before the cur tain rose an aged man, bearing heavily up on his staff, was observed to enter the build ing. Tbe Corinthian boys beckoned an in vitation to the venerable man to come to them. As he advance J slowly and labo riously down the aisle the Spartan boys arose intuitively to their feet, w tile one from their cumber stepped out from Lis seat and gave it to the aged man, ail of his companions standing the while until be was rated. Then one of the Corinthian tads cried out t ' The Corinthians know what is right ; the Spartans do what is right." ' Then the teacher wrote on the board this proverb from a higher and better source : " Then ti.att rie op before the heary head, and hoaor ili face uf tSe uid maa." Lev. LI Xu. Dr. White suggested that lh directors and teachers should make an inspection of the school buildings and out houses ia their districts, and if they do net find anything to shock their moral sense it indicates a good moral atmosphere. He also adrised listen ing to tbe coareraaiioa of scholars while at p!y ia order to ascertain whether their tho.ght were pure and ha'.tby. Someone of tbe philosophers has said "ike only way to extricate fault ia to make a virtue grow in its place," Oar teachers have really ner- er givea the moral training of children ft se rious thought. Continuing, he Baud : The highest emcien y of the public school is tested by its results in moral character, and hence its central aim is elective moral train ing. It is rastly more important that the present generation of youth in our schools leave them loving truth, purity, right, and honor, thaa that they irare them good spellers orgood arithmeticians. Moral train ing is to be the ltad.cg school question dur ing the next ten years. What is needed is the founding of such training on as definite pedagogical principles as intellectual training. The first step in this direction is to see that effective moral training involves tbe training of the will the training of the wiT to act habitually from high and worthy motives. There are seven results, called school vir tues, which are attained ia every good school. They are (1) regularity, (2) punctu ality, (.1; neatness, (4; accuracy, (") indus try, () silence, and (.7) obedieoi-e. The se curing of these results may atTord ft valua ble training of the will, but this will depend on the motives by which they are secured. It is possible to secure tbese results by the use of means that neither form nor strength en cbaracti r. The essential thing is that they be attained by an appeal to high and worthy motives. The school must be made aa apprenticeship in right living. It is not enough that tbe will be trained in the direction of these mechanical virtues. The school mast purify the heart and quick en the conscience ; and, to this end, there must be rilnl tuaral iiutructiu st well as training. This instruction mast not only be incidental and informal, but it must also be rtgular, procressire, and systematic. It must be provided for in the course of study, and it must have an assigned place in the weekly program of exercises. E5DS. Moral instruction should attain at least four important ends. Tbese ends are : 1. To purify the heart to awaken a love f it what is true, beautiful, and good ia life. 2. To develop clear moral conceptions, l e , clear ideas of right and duty. 3. To quicken the conscience to train the moral sense. 4. To train tbe will to act from worthy motives to free it from bondage to low and selfish desires. F.I5CirLIS. Tbe above ends cannot be attained with out instruction. The wai (to take tbe last end named) cannot be reached and trained directly. The following physical facts may be ac cepted aa ptincij-Ut of will training : ' 1. Knowledge awakens feelings. 2. Feelings solicit the will. 3. The will determines conduct. Tbese principles may be thus stated ; Con duct is determined by the will, the will is solicited by tha feelings, and the feelings are occasioned ty knowledge. There principles show lb necessity of in struction in the training of the will and se curing right conduce The physical order is kncitltijC, fteiing, eAoice, actLi. The same is trie in the training- of the moral sense and in doreloping moral con ceptions. There must be vital instruction. The practical principles on which effective moral instruction is based may be thus stat ed t L In childhood the conscience is quick ened sad the mora! sense made acute by pre senting to the mind emrnj.'.'ef of right and du ty. "Nothing," says John Locke, "sinks so gently and so det-p into men's minds as ex amples," and this is specially irae in child hood. 2. Moral conceptions are best formed by exercising children's minds in judjing etA actions ef otlum ections presented by anec dote or striking narrative, i. eoncrete!j. 3. Moral conceptions may be deepened and made more vivid by their expression in the beautiful and imp-restive form of yHiy. 4. Rules of conduct are best presented to children in the form of Maxima. M ATIKteLA. The above principles suggest three kinds of materials that may be used in moral in struction in elementary schools. Tbey are : 1. Sivria and inridrttti, adapted to the awakening of right feeling. 2. LiUrary Gem, selections of poetry and prose, adapted to deepen and ennoble the feelings awakened. Songs Lave also great value. 3. if txima, those golden rules of duty that lifi sentiment to the plane of principle. It must be added that this instruction must come from the heart and life of the teacher. The repeating and dull memoriz ing of stories, gems, and maxims will not suQice. Tbe teacher must feel truly and deeply the truth which he teaches. "Moral instruction," says Campayre, "must touch the soul to the quick," and hence more de pends rn the spirit than the form of a moral lessen. cocasxor wsTttcrtos. Tbe lewons in an elementary course of moral instruction should present the prac tical d uties of life. Ethics as a science may be wisely left to the higher grades of school. What children need ia not the philosophy bat the noble art of rirrbt living.

In giving these moral lessons ellectiyely. the teacher will need collection of choice and appropriate stcries ; and with diligence and care these may readily be selected. Lit- e-at are xijoands in examples of nobie con duct, strikingly told. These exist not only iu the classic forms of parable, fable, histor ic incident, and inspiring verse, but also in the impressive incidents of daily life, as told in papers and magazines. The selection of effective stcries will re quire good judgment. As a rule, the stories used should present virtue, and not vice, and the lesson taught should be too evident to need a formal "moraL" To these ends, the story snouli be brief and pointed, and also attractive and striking. A few skillful questions may be useful in securing needed discriminations and deepening feelings. Ir.

He deprecated tbe use of artificial in centives and was very severe in bis criticism of teachers who resorted to them in orde r to get their pupils to study. Ha does not be lieve in tcichicg bribery in the school room, but thinks better results can be obtained by appealing to natural incentives. Tue first of these should be to cultivate desire for good standing, respect for one's seif. The desire of approbation is ft strong mttive to appeal to. It is much stronger thaa the of fer of prises. Nothing can be more stimula ting thsn the approval of your in-ials, your superiors and your God. When your chil dren perform their duties well tell th?ro so frank'y. Too much care cannot be exercis ed in reproving; children; never remind them of their borne surroundings. The sense of honor is tbe highest motive to which you can appeal. It holds true with tbs children of depraved parents as well as with the chil dren of the iich and refitted. The sense of right and the tense of d'i'y are the proper ties of the human character to be cultivated above all others and if you succeed in doing this you wilt have accomplished a work that calls for the approval cf sngeU. PROF. DxMOTTE Prof. John B. DeMotte delivered a num ber of highly entertaining half-hour talks. In fact we seriously doubt whether a Som erset county audience ever before tad the pleasure of listening to a m:.i so learned ia tbe scientific branches. Kts talks all bris tled with points of information for ttachers and they were worded in such beautiful and simple laitgasge that it wa a real pleasure to listen to him. One of bis most interesting discourses was on f ace your teachers with Farrs." ' I sptll the last word with acs pi ta! and put it in small caps." he said. Never talk to yoor scholars about anything ut.les you know all about it. I hope what Colon el Conwell said last night in bis eloquent criticism of our colleges and universities is not true, (Conwell asserted that the suc cessful man cf to-day ia not ft college bred man) when he asserted that tbey are spoil ing lives. If it is true, then they are filling the heads of the young men with stuff and not with facts. A teacher who has a regu lar daily programme for bis school isn't ft to teach. Devise new means of teachii g them each day, take them on excursions fre quently where they can inves'igate and see for themselves the objects about which you wish to instruct them. It pars to take them to a mine, mill or shop, whera they can tee the fact itself. DeM j:te then told the stt ry of bow Goodyear accidentally dropped a lump cf sulphur onto a parrel of India rub ber and when he went to pick it up fonnd that It adhered. From this bet he discover ed the solution that renders rubber an arti cle of various and general use and enriched the discoverer. I would suggest to teachers that they tell their scholars the history cf Goodyear' life. He then illustrated the va rious processes throngh which a pair of c:s sors has to go before they are completed. Nowhere in the world do scissors go through as many processes before tbey are completed and nowhere else are they made to tit the hands as they are ia America. Tbe teacher can deliver a very interesting fifteen-minutes talk oc ''scissors. -1 I mention scissors only as an example for other work." Here Prof. DeMotte exhibited string of bead with a curiously constructed pair of tweeters at the end of the string. He bad bought them from an Indian chief whom be visited in prison, where he was confined afler one of the recent outbreaks of the "red broth era." He observed the Indian dexteroufly used the tweezers upon bis face and upon inquiry learned that his highness was going through the process of sbavirg. The twee ters are worth nothing as an object of curi osity, but when one considers to what use tbey were devoted by the Indian they be come intensely interesting. DeMotte then gave graphic description of the origin of the decimal system. We are indebted to one of the ignorant African tribes who kept their accounts on their fingers for it. His illustration of the decimal system on tbe black-board was edifying in the extreme. Copies of tbe first and third arithmetics ever published were shown in , this connection. Continuing, the speaker said the difference between aa educated man and an uneducat ed man is tbe difference between seeing fhcts and seeing tbrc;i?h facls to laeir causes. "I wonder bow mv.y penile know what caus es a sky ti.ckft to g.i up Into the nir. It is not burning powder that does it, but each rocket certain a fro all perachutethat takes tbe air uxder its folds and floats gaily away. The coloring of the parachute throws o3 the brilliant colors tiiat please the eye. Always confront your classes with facta; cot with theories." Another interesting subjert tak en up by tbe peaker was that of ventila tion. He said it is impcs-ible to do gfod work wtthotit pare air to breathe. "Tbe snar of suiel! U the Uot wsy to dVtot f .ul air. Go out into the air for a few minutes and come back into this room ad you wi.l discover the difference. (Here te showed by mathematical calculation tow much foul air is expelled from theiuni with each res piration). The germs of dlscate are mostly due to breathing foul air and no belter way to disseminate germs is known tban through pit-toons and rpitliag on the floor. See that your school rooms are properly ventila ted. Small openings near the tops of win dows ia a good method, but the best I know anything about is a device of our friend Dr. White's. His method for ventilating rooms is to hsve the upper sash of a window open ed about two inches, with a board attached to the sash that will throw the fresh air against the ceiling. Text-books, apparatus and methods do not constitute a school, but the teacher does, and he cannot have proper brain vitality &od do good work in foul atmosphere. Prof. DeMotte made an interesting expe riment illustrating the impurities discharg ed from the lungs. He took a small vial two-thirds full of lime water. Two pieces of pipe stem were inserted through tbe neck of tbe vial, through oneof which be discharg ed bis breath two or three times. The wa ter became cloudy almost instantly. The same simple method can be resorted to to test tbe atmosphere of the school room. Ail that is required is to leave the bottle un corked for a sufficient length of time. Prof. DeMotte said good by to the teach ers Wednesday morning and Supt. Berkey paid him ft deservedly high compliment on the good work be had performed before he took bis departure. DEPVTY-STATESrPKRISTESDENT norcK. " Class! Rise to your feet standing.- " Say, 'good morning.' Say, Mr. Houck we are very glad to ree you." -Oh, he's a dandy !" exclaimed Prof. Leslie, pointing to the little Deputy-Superintendent as be tried to disappear be hind the speaker's stand. Loud cheers for " Houck, Houck," fol lowed sad the demure Secretary was forced to come forward and acknowledge the cor dial welcome. Demosthenes, we are told, practiced oratory on the sea shore with a mouthful of pebbles aud sooa over came bis propensity to stutter and was abie to set the waters in a ferment with the pow er of hia voice. Mr. Houck evidently prac ticed oratory io a boiler factor r, with a bnix saw in his mouth. The Deputy Superin tendent looks as much like Hon. Sam" Micr, of Eikiiek, as two peas in a pod, and when he speaks one aatttrally turnaround to see where the vol a tun of sound come from. We have never seen a public speaker exercise greater power over ia audience, one moment moviar them to tears aud tbe next convulsing them wilb laughter; the etf-t of his voice U magtca! and its owner possesses tbe ek nients of true oratory. He would be equally as effective at a Methodist camp- tu?eting aa at aa asseoibla-e of pedagngns Mr. Houck complimented the teachers of the county and said that he knew the insti tute would be a grand success the moment he saw J. M.. E:r.ey's name attached to the programme. Keloid several amusing stories and interspiced them with sugeHians in be half of the schools. Mr. II jack made a number of excellent addresses during his stay. Oae in particular we commend to the different school boards of the county ar.d especially to the school board of Somerset borough. He in sisted upon directors employing the best qualified teachers, regardless of personal predjudice or cn account of religious or political athliauons. He described ia ludi crous sfvle how the conscientious school board should proceed to elect teachers. Upon examining the certificates of tho having only average marks they will r.-qtiest the ap plicants to retire until called before the board- When the teacher with a provisional certi ficate calls, he ia ask to waited. The appli cants with professional certificates are look ed upoa with favor. The graduates of State Normal Schools a. re oilered induce ments to r-maiu and the College graduates are entreated to take schools. You cart not jjdge a teacher by t!;ecutofhis coat and yoa must exprct a cultured, refined gentle man or la ir to demand iarrr salaries thaa those who are not so well qualified by rea son of education to teach. Mr. Hourk lauded our efficient Ccuaty Superi nteudeat np to such a Lia;b point that that modest oScial bad to retire to subdue his blushes. He took particular pains to Commend the course of study prepared by Mr. Berkey and said that he was bese-lged ith inquiries ia regard to it from dtdferea t States. This course of study he informed the institute has been adopted by the schools of seven couitte in this Cm a jnwea'ih. morg them the counties of Lebsnon, Ly coming and Northampton. He told a pa thetic story illuat-ating arf ictiot f ir parents in the highest svnse and clot! by paying s tribute to the teachers of this outi'.yand pronouncing the institute of 1S.J the b-?-i". otc he had ever attended in his loig txps- rienee. PR-F. TEASE. -Cass! Ljokatme." GjukI one, two. three." "Sjy, Prof Lslie, I am very g'ad to sec yio. -No. 4i Rjw us Far Oit in the Sunset." - listen to the harmony, and, mind, you thy never saw that piece before yesterd-iy." Prof. Charles W. Deane, of the Indiana, Pa , State Normal School, wat next to Prof. Leslie, the popular favorite of the irt;itute. Prof. iMine ha a ma hematics! brata and be has trained it to such a fine point that be is abie to give much valuable iti-tr jc io.i not fottnd between tin overs of aa arith metic His several talks oa rnataem itics were very comprehensive aod we havu no doubt will result io mating the teaciitn r of that ditScult branch mtich eajier ula r simpie to the teachers of this county. Hn suggestions in this line we-e a j valuable thai it is ir.jeed Larl to overrttim ite taunt. Prof. Dane did not roaaie himvilf toili i cidating mathematics, by any means. One of the most interesting features of the week was a talk from htm oa " H w to onduct a school." He said children should betftagV how to sit and how to rise to their feet grace fully. They soou'd ncrer be permitted ly loarge iu their seats or rest sgaint tha wti la whea rectiiDtr. When reciting they should s and erect oa both feet. 1). vest your school of machinery.

He is gifted with rare oratorical abilities as well as mathematical abilities. He will be cordially wulc-'tusl by the teach ers of this county should be ba called here for future institute work. PROF. M EES E. Prof. J. D. Meese, of the California. Pa, State Normal School, was given a hearty and cordial welcome by his former associates. Evidence of improvement in are not lackicg in Mr. Meete s delivery tirce he abandoned the schools of this county for the larger field of teaching. He has always beea one of the unfortunates who is master of bis subject but finds tome difficulty in telling about it. There has been mtxked improvement in his delivery tbe past year and we expect to hear great things of bimasan institute lecturer in the future. One of the most eJ.firg talks delivered by Mr. Meese was oo " Ob ject Teaching." Ha illustrated what he said by exhibiting some splendid work done by Its pupils of the Ursine, Schools. Mr. Tif-e gave it as his opinion that t-ai-hers are responsible t-r the low wai;es they receive, i s rule. If they are worth more thaa they are receiving the directors will soon find it out axd an increase is lure to follow. JOINT SESSION. One cf the moat intcns'irg ettsiors of tbe institute was tii joint session of Uachers and directors, Thursday afternoon. Long before the hour for opening tbe asiion ar rived the Court room was crowded while the hall below was a seething rrtas of people unable to fn adru:isi .3 l. the. court room. The crowd if disaipoirite-I ones extended from the court house to the first National Book corner. Tbe session was orer.ed by S. A. Kendall, of tbe Rock wood board. In ft very able address he advocated purchasing appa ratus snd other appliances for the improve ments of the schools. He was followed by Prof. Deane, who congratu'ated the direct ors upon Lav-leg a ahle and intelligent a body of teacher. His first impression was that our teachers were ail boys aud girls, but he was very agreeably supriied to leara npon ac4uaintance that they were mature (beg ging the pardon of the ladies.) He urged that teachers should be qualified to teach by Normal School training before they are em ployed. The era will soon come when this will be required. I am not speaking in be half of the Indiana tchool, but in behalf of the fiture welfare of the children of the Com mon weal t h. Teachers who conform their labor to their salaries are pursuing the best means to re duce their salaries next season. Tbe teach er who thinks of his salary in connection ith his work in the school room is un orthy of the name of teacher. He deplor ed the fact that to many of our y jung men are kept from the schools and closed with tbe prophecy that the old adage "never marry a wife who knows more thaa you do," will soon become obsolete, by reason of the better education females are receiving. John Blake, of the K.k Lick school board, followed. "I f-el a good bit like a fhboutof water," begta Mr. Blake in Lis musical brogue, I guess most of lboe present are christians and they will agree with me that nothing could be wiser than -give us this day our daily bread." As I understand it, that means mind yourself be fore your neighbor. Tbe reason I lake such great interest in our schools is that they are making the back-bone of our rising genera tion. The tendency of the young men of to-day is to " skeedaddie." What is the reason ? We don't chase them c fT, do we ? Of course we do. The reason is plain enough. They can't get enough at home and have to go elsewhere for it. Tue mines and railroads all pay better wages than we pay our teachers ; that's the reasoa our young mea ica7e the ftnus. Cut how are saiar.es to be raised? Each director has aa adviso ry coaimittee at home, and he's apt to get hall Columbia' if he votes too much sala ry, l ou cave one leather this year ana another one tbe next. How is a tea. her to leara the wants of hia scholars in this way ? We must devise means to keep our teachers longer snd the only wsy to do it is to in crease their salaries, provided they are orthy of it. The average salary of teachers in this county is t-T per month. Is this sufficient for ft teacher's time, one who has prepared hira-e!f to teach? Now. ft word ta the teachers. Whea yoa take charts of ytrar schools ta the morning don't g there ith the blues. Occasionally, take a book ia your hand and pais out among your scholars and see if you can't help the preach er a little bit. I am told swearing is becom ing fashionable among the children ia some of our school districts. Eut eaia-y is the r.istti point I started to speak about. I have opened the question and sorr.e one eie ran come after and give it the rlnishirg touehts It is an old saying thai a man drew is his neighbor as much as Le loves himself, but we have a Deputy-State Superintendent with as and he speaks so well of those who pre-c.-did Lira in crSce that te must be a good mm." Mr. Houck and Dr. White both spoke oa s ibjects heretofore referred to. The Secretary cf tha Direetors'a Associa tion, D. Compton, read the reso.utioas paa ed by that body.
