DIED: —In Butler, Pa., Dec. 21st, 1881, Abraham Moyer, aged »3 years, 8 months and 1G ddys. The deceased was brought to Butler county in the family of his father, A. D., HIT. Asamananda citizen he has always beeu held in high esteem. In tbe Reformed church he sought to lead an exemplary life; in it he beld important official positions for the last 52 .years. In the county and especially in the communities in which he lived he bas ever been regarded as an honorable ; ! and upright man. Every position of trust given him in charge was in every instance faithfully atteuded to. No better tribute can be given to the de ceased than by those who knew him, to call to mind the many virtues and good character of his life. His remains were interred at Hariuonv, Butler countv, l*a., December afu-r suitable fu.ieral services in the Reform ed church, at Harmony, in whu'h the writer was assisted by Rev. F. A. Ed monds. T F. Staukfer Tin- '4 «"K<-iies-H* institute. Pur.-uuiii to ibe c.»Il ol Superiuteod eut Murtland, the school teachers of this county, met in convention on Moudav afternoon of last week, anil ! continued iu session till Friday noon. The programme, as advertised by the Superintendeut, was faithfully carred ! out. Some two hundred and thirty i teachers and many directors and other friends of education were present, and • the institute itself, taken as a whole, : was pronounced by old teachers who i have attended all the institutes ever ; held in this county, to have been the I best ever held in the county. Mr. i Murtlaud was a novice in the institute | busines# and his iuecess must be very ! gratifying to him, while from the able and interesting instruct >rs and lectur ; ers whose presence and services he had secured, the institute was made both instructive and interesting to all who attended. In preparing wisdom for babes, it is necessary to wrap its pre cepts in candied sweets, and we have no doubt but that those teachers who attended the institute will go back to their work in a better humor to deal with the self-willed youth of America, better qualified to conquer by patience and kindness the eyil in their natures, and teach them those lessons of indus try, honesty acd morality, which should go baud in hand with the les sons of the school book. The young should be taught that to be great is to be good and that one can be as truly a hero in the little battles of life as in the battles and affairs of a great oation. We have been furnished with a copy of the minutes of the convention, but as i our columns are crowded this week can I find space for but the followingextracts from them: Superintendent Murtland, in his opening address, "outlined the object of the Institute, emphasizing bis in tention to have the present not only a teachers 1 but a people's Institute. lie made a very jjood impression on those assembled and received flattering ap plause. Prof, l'iukertou explained in an interesting manner why be had come, and stated his object was not to flatter the teachers but that he would try to fcain their confidence. He ad vised the teachers not to attempt to act on every suggestion given by for eign instructors. He cited an instance where he bad once ruined bis school by attempting to put in practice every thing he had heard it an institute, lie advised teachers that if they should see any methods advanced that they thought applicable to their schools to •apply them, if at all, in an original manner. He was at, home on his sub ject and was often interrupted by ap plause." Prof McNeal was introduced to the Institute Tuesday morning and spoke on the subject of "couutv institutes." lie divided an institute into three classes: (1) those who wre cultiva ted and came to benefit others, (2) those who think they know it all aud would not shed their light for the beu efit of their fellow teachers, (3) those who have had little experience as teach ers and who wish to receive instruc tions from the Institute. He also gave his experience as a County Superin tendent in regard to the above distinc tions in the make-up of an Institute. S P. Irvin then read an able essay on compulsory education. An interesting discussion followed, many teachers tak ing part whose arguments de3erve spe cial mention, but space will not permit. Prof. Plukertoa, after highly compli menting the choir, took up the study of orthography. He showed bow com plex our words were to strangers and how hard to learn to spell bv the sounds. He gave several humorous il lustrations which created much merri ment. He explained the necessity of spelling, pronunciation and definition going together ; also, that the teacher should prepare each lesson in advance. He also regarded too many rules as tending to confuse the pupil rather than to enlighten him, and gave many other valuable instructions. He then gave a lesson on pronunciation put in form of sentences, and called on some one to read them. Mr. J. II Chatham responded, and pronounced all the words properly but one. He was highly complimeuted by the Professor, and applauded by the audience. On Tuesdy afternoon Prof. McNeal gave some valuable suggestions on "teachers' work." He explained that the teacher must adapt his methods to the school he has in charge. That the experimental prevailed largely, with young teachers especially. How a teacher might have many modes with but one method. He advised teachers to be original as far as possible in the school room. The choir sang ".No Time like the Old Time," after which John Golden gave his methods of teachihg "Primary Reading," followed by Mrs. A 13. Kinter, who read from manuscripts \ on the same subject. Both were listened to with deep inter est. Volunteers were then culled on when Messrs Chatham, Russell, Moore, Smith and Irvine responded I w T ith neat addresses on the same sub ject. The choir then sang ".lu.-t Be side the I'iver" Prof. Pinkerton was called upon and spoke on "School Management.' He explaiued why the standing of a pupil should be determin ed by examination. How noise should be avoided by arousing a spirit of ri valry among the pupils. He advised the publication of the best in the news papers of the town or county in which they lived, and advanced the idea that a certificate of standing progress. He thought that, the lack of living interest in the school room. As usual he re ceived tremendious applause. Prof. McNeal followed with an address on 'Thoroughness.' He said persons often a>ked tne question. 'Why do pupils go over the same ground every year ?' He said it was caused in part by lack of Thoroughness on the part of the teacder in tiaining pupils, and that a teacher had much better teach thoroughly thau scientifically. He re ferred to those who had a strong de sire to advance pupils at the expense of thorcugbness and what a great mis take it was, and how the only remedy was careful training. His argument was very logical and was well recciv- I ed. j. At the evening session, Dr. Frank Cowan lectured on.bis tour around the world, dwelling particularly on his ex periences in China, Corea and Indie. The Doctor's descriptions were grand. On Wednesday morning Prof. PiokcrtOD delivered a ringing address on "School Management " He believ ed in the rod as a last resort and in suspending or expelling pupils who are extremely indolent or in any way demoralizing to a school. ll<' strui-k a responsive <horJ in every teacher pres ent and was frequently applauded. Rev. fctri amer next rend a scholarly es«ay on ' Manners iud Morals in Sehool." lie held the audience for an hour with the closest attention Wednesday afternoon Prof. McNeal gave a very able talk on "Primary Arithemefic and the Pittsburgh Sys tem." The Professor was growiug in favor with the teachers I was now moved and seconded that Rev Stream er have his lecture on "Manners and Morale'" published in fijll in the county papers for distribution among the teachers of the county. The motion was carried amid great applause. The subject "How far should a teacher exert bis influence on reading out of school,'' was opened by S. H- Catham followed by many other teachers. The arguments were all good, lasting tiil 4 o'clock. Col. Copeland, of South Rend, ludi ana, was the lecturer for Wednesday evening. tlis subject was "Snobs and Snobby" in America, and be very ef fectually ridiculed the efforts of many to establish caste in this country. On Thursday ni or fi' D ff the question 'What should pupils read out of school,' and "School Government," were dis cussed. Prof. Wade described the "True Teacher." Oq Thursday afternoon, the Direc tors meeting, changes in school books, cost of books and the salaries of teach ers, were discussed. On Friday morning Rev. Wade gave some valuable suggestions in regard to securing regular attendance at school. The report of the Committee on Resolutions was then read and adopt ed The resolutions are as follows; Rrsulved, That we, tho teaohers of Butler county, in convention assemble tender our sincere thanks to the Com missioners for the use of the Court House, to Messrs.
