TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION:
The Teachers lisseciatiou met at the
Presbyterian Chnrch at Rome, Febrit
ray 10, at 10:5 o'clock. The president
and secretary being absent. Mr. Young,
former president of the Association was
appointed president pro tem, and
Martha .1. Brown secretary.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by Mr. W. P. Horton. Superintendent
Ryan offered the following question for
discuoion. What are some defects in
school work, and what methods would
be more successful? Mr. Heverly
thinks - that teachers do not, as a rule
study enough nights.' A. P. Young
thinks the unfortunate Imes who are
obliged to aroupd, do not have
time. Eugene Chnbbnck made re
marks. Mr. Mintuin thinks the teachers
shOuld teach the pupils to help them-,
selves, (Mr. - Young says be has known
teachers to carry other than Eehool
books with them, and, therefore they
were not .prepared for the lessons of
the following day. Superintendent
Ryan emphasized what had been said
in regard to preparation for school
work and to thorough teaching.
Misses Smith and Brink were appoint
ed committee on membership. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved. Mr. Toting remarked
that while the ladies are anxious to re
ceive equal wages with men, they do`
not seem to be equally ready to offer
suggestions at the As.sochition. Super
intendent Ryan moved that the minutes
should be presented at the close of each
session, instead of at the beginning of
the following session, as heretofore,
that any necessary corrections may be
maae.
After singing the Association adjourn
ed to meet at 1:30 p. rn. _.
A.FTEPZCOCES SESSION'
The meeting was called to order at
the appointed time, and opened with
singing.
The committee 'on resolutions being
absent, Superintendent Ryan presented
the following, queries:
I. Under what circumstances is it
advisable to consolidate sub-school
dictricts and establish graded schools?
IL To what extent should text-book
instruction be dispensed with in com
mon schools?
111. To what extent should the mat
ter in the text-books in our schools be
changed, abridged, or extended; or to
what extent should the course of study
prescribed for teachers be extended to
be produttive of the best results to the
_ cause of education?:
IV. -In what does the art of teaching
consist?
V. Is personal merit, or powerful
friends more to be desired in a teacher?
VI. How can teachers induce parents
to become interested in the schools?
VII. What is the object of our
schools? .
It was moved and seconded Ito dis
cuss the sixth, question. Carried. Mr.
Quinlan opened the discussion by say
ing that the beet way to interest parents
is to be thoroughly prepared for work,
and to make teaching the first if not
the only business. Talk to them about
their children; and try to introduce
comething new, and have occasoinal
public exercises. Mr. Beverly said
another good means of increasing
interest is an occasional note of praise,
or perhops a:spelling club. Miss Smith
finds finds it profitable to send the
pupils home with questions for general
information. Mr. Minturu discovered
fallacies in Mr. Quinlan's remarks, and
thinks our schools are to ranch "show
schools." Mr. E. B. McKee empha
sized the remarks of Miss . Smith and
suggested the calling forth of practical
ideas from objects. Superintendent
Ryan suggested that we teach pupils to
utilize the newspapers,, and to treasure
up the important facts of the day. Mr.
Minturn thought that the teacher might
possibly get into trouble by so doing.
Moved and seconded that the first
question be discussed. Mr. Young is
in favor of graded schools, and thinks
they do better than district schools,
and that promotion, as it is I racticed in
graded schools, is an incentive to pupils.
Mr. Horton thinks that if district
schools should be consolidated there
would double the amount of work done
with much loss expense. Superintend
ent Ryan' thinks there are too many
schools and tso smali wages in Bradford
county, owl that many .teachers are
doing noble work under anfavorable
circumstances; for thopugh work can
not be done when a teacher must teach
any number •of branclles, instead of
giving special attention to two or three.
He believes that in every township
there should be a school of higher grade
for the older pupils.
The pleasing recitation of little Mies
Nina Kinney was followed by a piece of
music by the impromptu choir.
Mr. Beverly _presented his method of
teaching history, and spoke of the im
portance-of that study. The teacher
must have an idea of history before he
can thoroughly teach, geography or
reading. This study has to do with
the lives of the great men of the coun-
try, and those lives can be held up as
examples. Questions should be pre
rented for employment out of school
['Ours. There may be two divisions in
the class, and the sides can discuss
subjects. Essays can be written on
various, and a great in!crest can be
created. Mr. Quinlan,cfled ,attention
to the value of reading, especially, histo
rical reading, and thinks that/ the rea
son why there are not-..more who :have
the, tact fogiolid reading, is that their
reading was; not di4ted by parents
and teachers when they were: young.
Mr. HeverlY recommended to the teach
er the bookierititled "Eminent Ameri
cans." SoOrintendent ; Ryan thinks
there should be a short period devoted
to general infinmation each day, and
that part of. this time should be used
for history. Mr. Minturn thiuk.s that
in district schools a history can profita
bly be used in place of the , fifth or
sixth readers.
Mr. Hutchinson asked how to teacit,
history to small children. Mr. Reveily
said big metbqd by telling stokes
Saperintetu4nt Ryan culled attention
to the fact that the Louisiana purchase
extended only to the Rocky .form
tains. •
Mr. Hustpn spoke on the subject o
Orthography, and thinks it uuneces=
staryl l or pupils below the fourth reader
to use a spelling book. Thinks that a
tcipieal arrOgetnent of words is better
tan arrangement by sound; that is,
muiring pupils to bring in alt the
words relating to a colain object, as to
a house. A good plan is to ask for tie
spelling ipf nil tbo words .beginning
with a certain letter. Mr. Minturn
thinks the cause of poor spelling is the
defects in primary teaching. and that
the brat teaching shOuld ha in the pri:.
wary department. ?Jr. Heverly thinks
the old method of teaching is
,no
objectionable. Superintendent Ryan
thinks the attention of pupils should
ho di•ected to the fact that the spelling
book is to be used for pronunciation;
accent, diacritical making. - definitions,
etc. It would be a giiod plan to _use
the arithmetic, graMmer, or history
for a spelling book occasionally, that
the attention of pupils may be directed
to the spelling of the words; as good
speller becomes so by reading, rather
than by studying spelling lessons. Mr.
Quinlan thinks we should learn to
spell in childhood, when the memory is
tenacious and the reasoning powers are
not frilly developed. Mr. McKee
thinks spelling should ,be taught in
writi6g or printing for that is the way
in which it is used. Mr. Young spoke
of the importance of definitions, and of
the superiority of the old method of
spelling. Mr. Minturn and Superin-
ten dent Ryan made remarks tending to
bring to notice the merits of the phonic
method.
Mr, E. B. McKee presented the sub..
ject of Mood, and wa questioned by
Me-sera. Qainhin, Horton, and Snptrin-
tendent Ryan. The latter pointed out
some of the merits and defests of Rare
Grammer, and deprecated the attempt
to teach young children the minute
distinctions of various moods and ten
ses. Mr. Huston aeked to have . the
definition of "object" clarified, and was
answered 7 by Messrs. Heverly and Quin
lan.
Th e discussion of the third question
was called for, and was opened by Mr.
McKee: who spoke of faulty,' defini
tions for Number, Mood, and Ratio,.
Superintntlent Ryan spoke of . the in-_
consistencies in the use of the term
"piedication" as presented by Berl.
Mr. Quinlan ittempted a justification
by analogy to ancient language's.
Altera recitation by Mr. Heverly
and a selection of music the Association
adjourned to meet at 7 p. m.
EAENTh"G SESSION'
The meeting was Oiled to order at
7:00 p. m. The selection from the
musical members wag followed by. a
recitation entitled "Jennie McNeill's
Ries" by Miss Anrice Carey, and a song
by Nina Keeney.
Mr. Quinlan's essay on "The' Mys•
teries of Nature" era's intended to create
a desire for higher education He in
stanced the wonders of :cell-life, as re
vealed by microscopy, and of the assim
ilation of food to the physical necessi
ties of matiAlso of the nebular hypoth
esis, of chemical affinity, cohesion,
gravitation, and other theories and laws
in the provinces . pt physics and met
aphysics.
A song Miss Lizzie Young, a decla
mation, •The• Little Regiment,' -by
Charles X. Hutchinson, and a vocal
solo 'The Bridge,', by Mr. Dann preitar
eel:to audience for the address of the
evening, 'The Qualities and Rewards
of Educative Power,' by Rev. Howard
Cornell. The educator must stimulate
the observation, industry, wilt, etc., as
Michael Angelo brought the angel out
of the block of marble. The first neces
sity for a teacher is thoroughness,. the
lack of which is an American character
istic. Mental stands before
information in school work._ Again,
studies must be made intere sting by
anecdotes and Mustrationv horn the
lives of illustrious men. l'he second
_requirement is good ()icier. Another
is moral culture. Another is patience,
that rare virtue; but that . , one which
produces,.Rimiilerful fruits. Another
chapicteristia of the true- educator is
enthusiasm for his pursuit.' This is the
motive power which is to carry him on
to ane,cess, for it is the• energetic, en
thusiastic men:whO have done the world's
work. So the teacher must -do his best
each day's work, and do the work of
each day better than that of the
preceding. •As Mrs. Garfield
_said.
'We need not be the shirking slaves of
Toil, but its regal master,' • The first
reward is general satisfaction which will
be more - and more apparent as life wears
I t away. The second reward is. the 'Te
-1 flex influence of -our own laboi, which
makes us practical men and women.-As
Nelson said at Trafalgar, 'England ex
pects every man , to do his . -duty,! so•
Pennsylvania expects every teacher to
do his best the work entrusted to his
care. .
This eminently practical address was
followed by a declamation from Her
bert S. Putman. A vocal solo by Mrs.
Mahlon Elliott, a recitation by Miss
Nellie Rice, and a song by. M. L. Dunn.
The association adjodrned to meet at
9 a. m.; Tuesday.
MORNING SESSION.
The association . was called to order at
9:20, and the devotional exercises were
conducted by Mr. Er. - E. Quinlan.
Mr. Qninlan recalled the third ques
tion saying that heithinks it best for
the pupils to have text-books' in their
own hands, and ft 4 them to do the
reciting instead of the teachers. Mr.
Marshall thinks that as `practice makes
perfect,' there should be more problems
in our arithmetic C. Mr. Militant
thinks the authorsiif our text-books are
as competent to make definitions as the
majority of, district sehle4 teachers.
That not the definitionls - hut the books
are to be abridged, Mil Howe advo
cates simplifying defloitkins, and more
reasoning and judgment in place of
memorising rules. Mr. Young thinks
there is much waste lumber in oar text
books, and that the average pupil
needs.p.ractical examples. Mr. Thomp
son suggested that, the questionable
parts of books give' mental
Supt. Ryan thinks caution is necessary
in changing definitions; but that it is
every one's duty to teach the Until',
giving abundant reasons. That duty.
reuires the ftequent review of the
essentials, while it will 'not allow the
ignoring of the, non-essentials, Mr.
Hutchinson believes in extending,
rather than shortening definitlotis, if by
!so doing they may be made clearer.
Mr. Quinlan questions the advisability
of pushing young pupils on to hiher
mathematics, to the exclusion of weak :
cal science. Mr. Huston thinks that
the best spelling booksare those which
are supplied with diacritical marks.
After a *election by the singerd, the
:Association was entertained by au in-
Wresting language lesson o given by
Miss Linz A. Brisk, and a song by
the youthful lingiiisto.7 it was moved
and seconded that the Association ten
der thanks to Miss Brink an't her class
for their admirable work. Carried.
Mr.- . McKee anggestod that through
work from papils is esfleil forth' only
by a special effort On the part of the
teacher. •
Mr. Minturn read, by request, a hu
morous set etiou entitled 'The Dead
Lock.' Queries were then in miter.

was solved by 'Mr. Beverly, who al-o

tion., Messrs. Vought, Andrews,
ton and Thompson spoke In regard to
other- queries. Mr. Marshall gave a
short talk on Political' GeographY, alter
which Mr. Bushnell exhibited- some
specimens of Penmanship and drawing.
The report of the committee on resolu•
lions was called for. and the following
rfsolutions were adopted:

ments whose work was so satisfactorily
performed; to those who so kindly pro
vided musical ' and literary entertain
ment; to the Trustees lof the Presbyter
ian Church for the use of the edifice;
'and to the people of Rome whose gen- .
erous hospitality we have tested so
fully.
