EDUCATIONAL.
Proceedings of the General Teachers' Institute
of Lehigh and Northampton counties held at
Whitehall Station, Lehigh county, Pa., April,
20, 1872.
The Institute was called to order by the
President P. B. Troxell, after which the au•
dienco was favored with music by the White
hall Cornet Band. A prayer was offered by
Mr. F. G. Bernt. Mr. W. J. Andres and John
Yelles were appointed Secretaries. A com
mittee consisting of Mr. F. K. Bernd, M. C.
Henninger and T. Dietz, was appointed to
draw up resolutions expressing the sentiments
of the institute on the various topics discussed.
After music P. B. Tmiell delivered an ad
dress on the right modes of obtaining an edu•
cution. He said—" It is obvious that it is no
small thing to be a successful teacher." A.
mad may have great literary attainments and
may still fail to teach successfully. One of the
chief errors into which many teachers often
fall is the degree of assietance they should give
to children. Great care is required In this
respect. Neither too much nor too little aid
should be given. There is a great deal of
literary dandling in some of our common
schools, and as a consequence a great many
children are mere sickly nurslings and are
never able to help themselves. He spoke a
considerable time on the "pouring in and
drawing nut process" in teaching.
After music a report was read by Mr. T.
Dietz on the subject "To what extent should
the German Language be taught in our com
mon schools." He brought forth a number
of arguments both in favor and against teach•
tog German in our public schools. Some of
the reasons against it which he stated are,
that all our laws and transactions in govern
ment affairs are in the Efiglisb Language and
that In only a few States the German Lan
guage is extensively spoken in some districts,
and where it is spoken it is only by the older
people who are often deficient in the English.
Some of the reasons in favor of It which he
stated are that many received their instructions
in the German Language and do not like to
dispense with their mother tongue ; that all
services in church are held in most places in
our countries in that language, and that pa
rents insist upon having their children cate
chised where it is costomary in churches in
the same language to coalesce with the regu
lations of church. The discussion on the
above subject was opened by Mr. John YON.
He said that the deepest works are written in
the German Language, that translating from
the English into the •erman Language dis
ciplines the mind as much as any other study
and that a man becomes more able In the
English. After music F. K. Bernd followed
in the general discussion and touched the fol.
lowing points: that children should become
acquainted with as many languages as possi
ble ; that the Pennsylvania Germans speak
the English Language more grammatically
than the English people, which advantage
they owe to the translating ,of one Into the
other, and that a clerk can obtain a higher
salary In our large cities who has command
of both languages. Mr. F. G. Bernd said that
many of our children talk a language which
they can not read or write, and read and
write a language which they can not under.
stand, which is a great absurdity ;"that a per
son can better understand the English Lan
guage by comparing it with another one ; and
that parents are very carelul in qualifying
their children in the English to transact busi
ness in wordly affairs, but about 'the German
they care very little to instruct them in re
ligious affairs, Thu discussion was followed.
by Andres, Henninger, Leisenriug and Haw.
kings. On motion the discussion was closed.
Saturday Morning Session; April 20,1872.
The Institute was called to order by the Pres.
dent, After music a prayer was offered by
Mr. F. K. Bernd. The minutes of Friday
evening session were read and approved. A
committee coneitling of Miss Hattie M. Hell
man, Charles Kocher and W. T. Morris was
appointed to draw up final resolutions of the
Institute. On receiving Information that the
performers for the evening could not be pres.
ent, on motion it was concluded to discuss
the following subject: " Resolved, that we
should have compulsory attenetme in or!
common schools.' As Mr. A. F. K. Kraut,
who was to, report on writing, was absent,
Mr. W. H. Derr cp . .ned the discussion. He
said that writing was too much neglected In
our common schools, that the expression " a
poor hand-writing selll answer" le' wrong;
that the recitation should.not come at such
times when the pupils are dull and weary;
that in graded school, the whole class should
have the same copy, write on the samh page
and enslyze, the letters; end that small pupils
should be taught first the printed style and
afterwards the script. The gentleman then
showed on the blatkboard the different prin
ciples, and analysed a number of letters which
he ably did with much credit to himself. He
also said that in ungraded schools it. is very
difficult to have them In regular classes but it
should never be neglected.
Mr. W. T. Morris said that ho agreed with
the preceding gentleman in having more time
spent in writing; that many troubles have or
iginated through a poor hand writing, and
that we should not only tell our pupils how
to write, but also show them how to do it.
He 'did not agree with the former gentleman
in spending much time in writing the printed
letters because we could teach the script just
as soon.
Mr. T. Dietz said that every school should
be furnished with writing charts, and where
this is not the case, the teacher should write
the script letters on the blackboard that the
letters may be always before the pupils' eyes.
The discussion was followed by Messrs. Hen
finger, Andrea and others. After Music an
oral report was given by W. J. Andres "on
the different Tables in Arithmetic and the
best methods of teaching them." He said
that In teaching the different tables, the teach
er should always illustrate them practically,
before memorizing them.
He gave also the standards of the different
tables and bow they may be obtained If lost.
He said that every school house should be pro.
vided with a yard stick, measures of capacity
and balances to iliustrste the tables practically.
Mr. F. B. Bender opened the discussion who
agreed with the former gentleman in giving
illustrations. He said that many of the prin.
clples in arithmetic may be omitted in going
over the subject the first time till their minds
are more developed. The discussion was fol.

Saturday Afternoon &lesion, .Apri? 20, 1872
—The meeting was called to order by the
President P. B. Troxell. After music ti pray.
er was offered by Prof. F. P. Bender. A corn.
mittee consisting of Mears. F. K. Bernd, W.
J. Andres and John lieiles of Northampton
County and Messrs. W. T. Morris. W. H.
Derr and F. G.Beend of Lehigh County, was
appointed to arrange the time, place, and pro
gramme for the next meeting.
Mr. P. P. Bender then gave an oral report
on the question which was before the Legisla
ture in regard to studying in the forenoon and
reciting In the afternoon. he said that, the
object of the bill as mulch as he could learn
was to make the teacher ebb to give the pu•
pile more assistance, and equally to rich and
poor as far as advantages and disadvantages
are concerned. Ho said that most pupils in
our schools get too much assistance from some
teachers, that the • one who makes the best
recitations or who works the most problems
does not always derive the proper benefit, but
the one that works fer himself ; and that as
general thing not the poor but the rich who
have the best advantage give the most trouble
as far as recitations are concerned. lii• Wither
stated that to study three hours in seceesdon
is harder on the mind than studying one hour
and be at something else another; that it does
away with studying in the evening but r!.
marked that the young especially in our cities
and towns want to do something in the even
ing and therefore it is better if they do study
than walk around at low and mean places,and
that it is impracticable in our mixed schools.
The discussion was opened by P. K. Bernd
who said that the teacher has no power to
compel pupils in our common schools to study
In the evening, that six hours steady psental
employment is sufficient for a day's hibor ;
that to have all the lessons recited in the fore.
noon and prepared in the afternoon is nt prac
tical variance in our ungraded schools ; and
that the , programme should be so arranged
that Pupils do not get two recitations in suc
cession, Mr. Henninger said if the, govern.
ment should compel the teacher to hear the
recitations in the forenoon and have the pu
pils prepare the lessons in the afternoon, it
would take too much power in their hands.
The discussion was followed by Messrs Smith,
Derr and Morris. On motion the discussion
was closed. After music an oral report was
given by M. C. Henninger on Physicti Geog
raphy. He spoke on the importance of the
subject, and how the mind may be directed
to its Maker by a judicious teacher. He spoke
of the condition of the earth in Its early peri
ods and how volcanoes , mountains and val
leys were brought forth. He gave also the
resemblances between the two continents.
He spoke also of the importance of mountains
in a country, and the appearing contradictions
between the Bible and Science. The discuss
ion was opened by W. T. Morris, who thinks
there should he more attention. paid to physi
cal and lees to political geography. He also
Raid that studying the reasons of the different
changes in nature disciplines the mind as
much as any other branch and that we should
have in our schools fewer branches taught at
the same time and finish one before taking up
others. The discussion was followed by Mr.
Derr and others. After music, on motion the
Institute adjourned till 7. P. M.

as by the drowning out process. •
Second, the ittbkct to what extent should
the German Language be taught in our Ger
man Districts: Resolved, that after the child
can read and write the English Language to
a certain extent, it is advisable in our German
Districts to teach the German Language, so us

luting one into the other.
Third, on Writing : Resolved, that in teach
ing penmanship, there should be a system
adopted and the teacher and scholars should

Committee—F. K. Bernd, T. Dietz, M. C.
Henninger.
After music the following subject was dis•
cussed : Resolved, that we should have com
pulsory attendance. The discussion was
opened by F. K. Bernd. Ho said that some
might say it would deprive us of our liberty
hut it is not so ; It is not our intention to com•
pel parents to send their children from eight
to ten months daily, but we want our parents
to he forced to send their children regularly
at least twelve weeks every year ; and that
the importance of Irregular attendance can be
seen by examining those who have to stay
from school a few days every week. Mr. M.
C. Henninger said that compulsory attendance
takes away the liberty of our people, that If
we allow our legislature to pass a law to have
compulsory attendance from two to five month
they will soon compel children to attend ten
months; and that the majority of people would
oppose It at present and more harm would re
sult from it than good, because it does not
agree with our republican principles of gov
ernment. Mt. F. P. Bender said that we do
not oppress our people when wo make them
intelligent, that we have just as much right to
compel parents to send their children regu•
larly to school and thereby force Intelligence
upon them as they (namely parents) have to
force their children t, take bitter medicine,
when sick; and that there are too many cases
where children are permitted
_to May from
school for a very little cause .. 'Mt; Bates was
called upon to oppose the redolution, but he
said that he could not do it betifuse he advo
cated compulsory attendance for the last ten
or twelve years. After a warm debate the
discussion was closed. A declison by the
house (all present included) was given in fa
vor of compulsory attendance.
After music Mr. F. P. Bender gave a Ger
man address. He spoke on the duty and re
sponalhility of parents in educating their
children. The more the minds of our youth
are cultivated Intellectually and morally the
better will be the future condition of our coun
try. He held that our teachers are not paid
as they should be. After music Mi. F. P.
Bender also read a lecture on "Self culture."
Mr. W. T..Morris,a member of the committee
of final resolutions, handed In the following

NAPLES, April 29.—The view of Mount

that has been witnessed since the year 1031.
Many persons have taken advantage of the
panic among the people , of the towns which

ment has been compelled to order troops to
those places to prevent the stealing of aban
doned property. In this city the bourse has
closed, anti the business is almostentiroly sus
pended. The people use umbrellas to protect
them from the falling ashes. Rain Is badly
wanted, else the crops will bo destroyed. As

CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
ChlefJuntlee Chace Holds Aloof—The Dem.
ocralle Party We only Hope for Reform.
CINCINNATI, Aprill3o.—Chlef Justice Chase
has written a letter to a member of the Cin
cinnati convention declining to allow ' his
name to be used for the Presidency. Re says
the ilbjeCts sought by the men gathered at
Cinclatiati are very good in their way, but
from his knowledge of the leaders of the move
ment, he can place no faith in their sincerity.
Therefore, he is of the opinion that the only
true reform can come from the Democratic
party, purged aa It is of all Such elementi as.
the Southern slave drivers and the Tweeds
and Connelly') of New York. He sees perso
nal pique the ruling motive with such men as
Greeley, Trumbull, Fenton, Schurz, Palmer
and Gratz Brown, and such being the fact the
Democracy will make a great mistake if they
yield up their powerful organization to the
whims of such leaders.
An effort will be made to have the letter
read in the convention, but the person to
whom it Is addressed is such a strong partisan
of the new movement that he fears its effect.
It Is said, however, that a number of delegates
who are here secretly in the interest of Gene
ral Grant will have the letter read, having
procured a copy.
Theee same persons have letters from Wen
dell Phillips, Senator Sumner, Taman Tre
meine and Fred Douglass, all of whom refuse
to lend their support to the convention. As
these men have been claimed as favoring the
movement, these Grant men Intend putting
their letters on record in the convention.
Delegates are arriving in large numbers,
and there is much enthusiasm. The attempt
to run the Convention without bringing into
existence the usual political convention mach
inery has already proved itself a fulling. In
order to free the proceedings.from. king and
windy speeches and resolutions it will be
necessary to adopt the rules of the House of
Representatives, which will limit debate and
send all resolutions to committee without de
bate.
General Kane, of the Bucktalls, ls to be
president of the Pennsylvania delegation.
Aleck McClure and his Philadelphia crowd
create much interest. Great things are ex
pected from Honest Meek. •
Among the Louisiana delegation Is that old
Philadelphian, A. B. Sloanaker v better, known
as." Wax-works" Sloanaker. He has been en
gaged as a professtonal lobbyist around the
Louisiana Legislature during the last three
years. He is an excellent reformer.
The Democratic leiulers of. this place, are
taking an active part in caucusing with the
managers of the Convention. They want
Adams or Davis, and the opinion la 'quite
general that the nomlnee.wlll be one or the.
other of these gentlemen. Ream.
