Tjhey were to at the close of each day's proceedings. . Primary Reading, by Jdo. I. Mitchell, was taken up.

Parents com plain that their children are Kept so long in'the first Reader, in primary Geography ur . Jlental Arithmetic, But they are “ leaders of the blind" who place students above that position which their com petency dictates, or their efforts and progress deserve. Remarks vyere made' by Prof. Wight man- and others. Moved by Prof, Reynolds,- “|That we have alni intermission, to get ac quainted,” This motion was voted for by both sexes; and seemed 'to be carried out with a will, _ | j . The next order wais Written Arithmetic,'by Prof. Reynolds. He asked the opinion of teachers as to whether it is best to teach be ginners the reason with the rule and operation. A majority sustained such a plan of procedure. Mr. Burlingame said : “It is best to teach the why, lest we muko machines of oar pupils.” It was resolved “ That scholars should be in quired to give the rules in the' language of the text.” This was a viry good opinion in theory, but not sustained by the practice under 'which the teachers presehl had been trained, in as much as there was-net one present who would volunteer to give the rule of' simple Addition in the exact words m:' any author. Still it was urged that such language is correct, while that of the learner may only apply to a particular case p and that after the reason is explained the rule of the aotior should be committed. Miss Mary Bowen'was absent and the subject allotted to her, was deferred ; and for want of time Geography, by 'I. R. Super wits postponed till afternoon. I'ha subjects from the Item Box were read and eeverally referred to indi viduals to be answered at a future time. Prof. Johns rend a letter from Prof. Chas. Sanders, of Sehool-Rcaden notoriety, saying that he could not be with thd Teachers of Tioga County this session, but would be happy to meet them next Spring. Adjourned to meet at li o’clock P. M. Wednesday Anx inoon. —There was not a quorum at, the appointed time. There soon was however, and' tiachers were urged to be punctual. Oeograpl y, by R. U. Soper was the first order of husinei s. lie proceeded to ques tion the class upon some general features of his subject. Ho rec immends the drawing of maps, by the pupils{; and putting an outline of our State upon tlio board, he fills it ont by questions,-and suggestions by the class. This plan, well followed out, serves to fix the rela tive localities of cities, mountains, rivers - .agitator. \ Resolved, That school government, so far as posaible,-should bo,by strictly moral princi ples.” i Resolved, That corporal punishment should be resorted to when other and milder means fail.” i Resolved, That all teachers who will properly apply themselves, can govern well." . j The motion was sustained. Mr. Frank W. Glnrk moved the adoption of the first resolution. I'hera waslittle saidwpon this subject; for it was admitted, by all, to be the only true plan of government, so .long ns there is any power in. persuasion of any kind. It was unanimously adopted. . The second resolution was taken up alnd discussed at some length, by several gen tlemen. Prof. Reynolds was in favor of “ the moral suasion of the rod,” when none other will promote good government. It is the shame of punishment, and not the infliction'of pain, ■which is the greatest efficiency of the rod; but, in some cases, it seems that the only means of arousing that shame, or of appealing to more generous qualities, is what -it was said, ought always to be the last resort’of the Teacher— the restraint of corporal punishment.- S. B. Elliott, Esq., wais in favor ofmoral punish ment,” though believe he did not affirm that the oso-of the rod should, or could be entirely done away with. However, he jwas opposed to the resolution, and sustained his views admi rably. ’At length it came to a vote and was adopted. There was a motion for the adoption Of the third which elicited alively and interesting debate. Messrs. Elliott, Johns, and Reynolds took turns in speaking upon this question. The first gentleman took the ground that all teachers haven’t the 1 faculty of govern ing; while the otherjs think they have this en dowment, in different degrees; but that all have the'means in their power when rightly disciplined in the manner of using them to govern respectably well. Mr. Reynolds was speaking, when Mr. Elliott arose and said: “ I call the g.entleman to.order—he is speaking on my side of the question. Mr. Reynolds (in a manner as if he was doubtful as to where he really teas,"but certain where he ought to be) sttid: “ If I am on his side, I surely min out of order.” The debate continued until the hour was growing late, when the question was called, but a motion to lay it on the table prevailed. This was understood as equivalent to a post ponement, and not intended to kill the resolu tion. However, there was no. time for recon sideration assigned. Mr. Reynolds was elected Treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the ab senoo of the lady, formerly acting in this ca pacity. The Committee reported order of busi ness for next session as follows : 1. Mental Arithmetic, by Prof. Burlingame. 2. Orthography, by Prof. Johns. 3. Written Arithmetic, by Prof. Reynolds. 4. Primary Spelling, by Miss Mary Bowen. 5. Heading, by Miss D. M. Drew. It was announced by Mr. Reynolds that the Teachers were at liberty to use the church as a place of meeting, and as the Seminary room in which they had held this session of the previ ous two days, was less commodious and easy of access, as wall as less comfortable and con venient, they gladly accepted the generous offer. The motion to adjonrn, then, was to meet at the Baptist Church, at 9 o’clock, A. M., next day. Tborsdav Forenoon. Arithmetic by Prof. Burlingame. A recitatioh in Mental Arithmetic, conducted as it should be, he said, was an excellent' (li-cipline for the mind. The operations, ns the name implies, should be en tirely mciitii! ; that is, the solutions should be gone through with, without aid from any kind of reference, as books, or a repetition, of, the question. Such a course conduces to the' best attention from the class, as it requires each one to perform all the operations, to he ready, when Called upon, to give the solution of the ques tion. lie thought that in performing the op erations, the numbers should be considered ab stract : but in stating the result, the unit of the required answer should he given. The sub ject, thus managed, made an interesting half h ur for the Institute. Orthography Johns, was deferred till afternoon. 'lhe next subject was Written Arithmetic, by Prof. Rey nolds. lie inquired into the origin and history of the Arabic Notation. The ancients counted by signs or motions of the fingers and hands. One finger was one, two, two, and so on which corresponded with the Roman method; hut the Arabs, when they had counted all the fingers, and the thumbs of both hands, made a motion to indicate once around, which accounts for the use of the cipher, and shoves the origin of the tenfold-ratio scale. It was questioned whether numbers increase in tenfold ratio from the right hand. The numbers do not in all cases ; but the orders of their units do. Die asked why the less number is set; under the (greater in subtraction ; and was answered that “-it was more convenient.” Do said such t an ex planation would answer most of the questions, in tlie Arithmetic ; and that where sue!} an an swer was given, it was the duty of the Teacher to inquire ; “ M herein is it more convenient ?” The half-hour rule cut short the discussion of this interesting subject. Reading by Miss Drew. ( Reading in concert was recommended to overcome the Oahit of drawling. Many read sojlow and indistipet ns to render their reading (unintelligible. Mr. Reynolds thought most ofi them needdd some out-door exercise, to hecobie good readers.— They will scream or holh>-hs loud as any,- and read so low as not to be beatd- But reading requires a constant effort j which overcomes a sickly, but strengthens a healthy development. It was a good plan for the Teacher to set the pattern by reading very lt(ud. It was well for the Teacher to get in the (farthest corner, and require the pupil to read so as to be understood by the Teacher. The questions and resolutions were distributed for future explanation and discussion, when the Society adjourned to meet at o'clock, P. M. j Thursday Afternoon.- After the usual pre liminaries, Prof. Johns cave his method of teaching Orthography. Ii was a good exercise to represent the sounds of! the letters upon the board and teach the class to form them cor rectly, when they may be made a good concert exercise. It is an excellent method.,to improre an indistinct ottieulatiorHtnd to give volume to the vdicer by practicing upon the sounds of ‘•the vowels. . It was thought wrong to teach ithe advanced class in spelling, by the old plan dfjpelling aloud. He bad the class write an .exereisertn-speHrug, which he read from a book called “ Dictation Exercises, intended for Re view in Spelling."' The tyords, were .similar in pronunciation, but different In meaning. It was an interesting exercise. For advanced classes the following plan- was recommended: Let each scholar be prepared with pen, ink, and paper, or if preferred, slate and pencil! Then the, teacher pronounces the lesson slowly, so that each one of the clhss shall have time to Wfite e very. word. When the lessen is allpro- bioanced, let each;pnpil change books or elates, as die ciis? may be, wrthhis neighbor. Let the Teacher now spell every word correctly, re questing each scholar to cross every word mis spelled, and then ’call over the class-roll. If A changed with B. he answers to hia name, the number of words missedi; and others, as the circumstances may be,, answer - in, the same way, each to of that pupil whose book or slate he or she has. The words !missed ate crossed upon the book or slate, and the number of them missed by each pupil is set opposite that pupil’s name in the class-roll. The books areiphw changed back, when each scholar sees and! corrects all words spelt wrong. If John has' missed six words, hej is required to write those six words in a book intended fora review, and when the next lesson !is spelled, the same process, is gone through with ; so that, say at the end of two weeks, there will be a list of words against each scholar equal tothe whole number be or she has missed during! that time. The Teacher .takes'&’s book in which the words missed are written, and pronouncejs them to him, keeping an account |of the number of failures, for review marking. This'completes the exercise. It wonid take longer! to spell a given lesson m this, than the old way ; but in this case, each pupil most spall every word, so that the lessons may be much shorter, and still give the class the same amount of practice ; and if it takes longer to go [through the book, it will be better learned [when once accom plished. - h " Grammar by Prof. Burlingame. It was best to recite from memory and by topics, without questions. The rules and i definitions should be required verbatim. Allowing students to | use their own language cultivates a superficial habit of thought. Others were in favor of pu pils giving the definitions jin their own lan guage. There was some [disagreement, as to whether the modifiers of th[e verb form a part of the predicate, and those of the subject of | the verb, a part of the subject of discourse as in the folia Wing sentence :: “ Black birds fly swiftly.” According to Ketiyon, it was admit ted that they do. The cijipsideration of the Items, as they were denominated, was deferred till evening. A motion to Empower the Presi dent and Secretary “to discover such Items as they see fit” was tabled, apd a reconsideration lost. Adjourned to meet at the usual hour this evening. | | Thursday Evesikg.—Geometrical Progres sion was well explained by Mr. L. H. Elliott. The question as to the extent of the Teacher’s I jurisdiction was discussed. In the opinion of Messrs. Reynold, Johns and others, sustained by judicial authority, it extends to, and pro-' ceeds from, the h6me of the scholar. The Equation of Payments was explained by Miss : Carrie Gaylord. The subjects from the Item- Box unanswered, were postponed, and Prof. A. R. Wightman, the lecturer of the evening, | was introduced. Ilia subjectiwas, “ The Teach- 1 er ought to cultivate modesity with profound scholarship.” It would be Unnecessary to give a synopsis, even if it were \ [possible to do the lecturer justice from memory, since it will probably be published in full. , It will be suffi cient for a record, to say that it commanded the attention of ail, even, (save a few, incapa- 1 ble of appreciating it) to a (profound stillness. After the Icture, the motion to. postpone was reconsidered, and individuals proceeded to an swer the questions assigned them. , It was thought that the “Superintendent ought not to I grant certificates to teachers who use profane ’ language.” The cause of the Gulf Stream was explained by Prof. Burlingame. Then followed the Criticisms. - The following were elected a Committee on Criticism for the re-1 mninder of the session ; Miss Mary B >wen, I Miss Alice Ilarkness and Frank W. Clark, Esq. Adjourned to 9 o’clock next morning.

Written Arithmetic, by I. Mitchell and Grammar by Prof. Burlingame,, were briefly alluded to. Adjourned tpJ meet at the usual afternoon hour.
