Davit Sec'y */ /nut.) WEDNESDAY AFTEUNOOX Institute opene 1 by singing. "Merry Farmer Hoy" and "Yankee! Doodle." Prof. Cogswc.l tlien gave a short tulk on music. Teachers need not be afraid of this branch. Anyone who can teach at all can teach music. Mu?ic will help to control the school, it also helps in treating other branches especially reading. Itoll call; singing, "Gently Itoft." Prof. Green—Literature. Quite a number of authors were discussed by Prof. Green. There is hardly an author who has not seme good things for us to learn. He gave tue teach ers a list of books that tlmy should read. Singing, "Lets be Happy." Dr. Albro of Mansfield was then introduced. Dr. Albro says, he likes to come to Sullivan countj' be cause he knows of 110 unpleasant ness existing between himself and the teachers. 110 contrasted the dark gloomy hall of year with tho pleasant and handsome hall of this year, also saying that he never attended institute where they had a liner place to meet. He then gave an address on school management. All the knowledge that we have in our own mind cannot be transmitted to other minds ; teachers can only help pupils by inspiring them to study for themselves. Older pupils have a helpful influence on younger ones, if a teacher has them 011 his side. We should endeavor to make men and women of all our pupils for that is the best thing wo can do for them. Teachers should endeavor to impress children favorably ; they should have the school room arrang ed properly because such thing? have a right tendency; take a few minutes to rest every little while, and go among your pupils; do not attempt to teach to much; break the monot ony by variety ; invito parents to vis it you, and have something special for the parents. Adjournment. THURSDAY MOHNIXU. Singing, "Stand Up For Jesus" j ami "Now from Voices." Dr. Albro—Geography. Wo in Ist 1 liavo sympathy existing between j ourselves and pupils or wc cannot! leach effectively ; neither can a child j be taught who is all aid of us. Dr. Albro, by a series of questions brought out some valuable facts con cerning the rotation of the earth. He showed how latitude and longi tude are reckoned ; the sun is the only thing that reckons coircc' time ; tho ancients reckoned time by the sun long before thej - knew of the rota tion of the eat th. Singing, "Ever De Happy and Gay." l'rof. Green—Literature. Get pupils to read authors themselves. Have a separate class in literature if you can ; ifyou cannot do this, teach it incidently with other branches. Use your own b00k. 3 , if you have any ; get the school board to buy them for you. Use selections from the leading books. He says, "there is 110 end to a good hook therefore the word 'end' should not be found on the last page of a book." Use variety j 1 and do not read one kind of litern turc only. Novels should be studied ' for a while and then something of a ' sounder notion. Prose and poetry 1 should have equal rights. Singing, ' "Whistling Song." ' Dr. Albro—Geography. He s.i}-s, we teach too many tilings of which the child has no conception of; this kind of instruction is of no account. He illustrated what he meant l>y thi?, by using the globe and teaching the difference between a pluin and level surface. Dr. Hays, it is his mission while at this just to make things clear. AFTERNOON SESSION'. Singing, "Deeds of Kind nrgs." This being Directors' day, Supt. Meylert announced the purpose and object of having them here. All the Directors who were here, were given f'ont seats by the teachers. Prof, Green then took the floor and addressed the teachers for the last time, during this institute. He offered to help teachers to select booksor help in any way heould to start the study of literature. He siys, the olj ct of an institute is to give information, inspiration, aspi. ration, and preparation. If a teacher does not get lliese he had bitter choose Home other callinir. The greatest grammar lesson is to learn how to live out this existence of O'irs; there is nothing new in thiH world it is only clothing the old in new form. Child life is a field to be j sown, therefore, sow it willi good j seed. Teach a child to have respect for himself. Wc try to crush out the personality of children of ton. Teachers should be kind to children so us to enable thein to see the bright side of things. Ve have something to do with filling jails, reformatories and houses of refuge. The teacher is a good book for children to follow; the teacher, therefore, should make himself worthy. In closing his ad dress the Prof, used the quotation : 'Hut when a orony takes your hand, Vt parting to address you, lie drops all foreign lingo Viul says, Good by, God bless you." Singing. J>r. Albro addressed the Direc tors during tho next period. Sala ries is the first thing with which Di rectors have to deal. Good teach ers are not paid enough ; poor teach ers are paid too much. Get the very best teacher for the money however. Scholarship is a good guide for Di rectors to follow ; a teacher who is weak in scholarship is weak in every thing else. It is one thing to know a subject, and another thing to know it well enough to teach it. There is great service in stability of service therefore keep a teacher in the same position year alter year. Teachers who know they are going to leave ut the end of tho toruj, do not do as ja work as they wouii if t!ioy knew they were going to stay. Tea chers make a mistake when they float from one place to another. Pennsylvania is lavishing the use of money for public schools j it should be used for the advancement of the school and not for tho lessening of taxes. Teachuis do not recognize in the Directors an otlicial assistant. Directors could give young teachers encouragement. Directors should inspect the school at least once a year. Teachers should visit direc tors and try to get theiu interested in the school. We do rot need ex pensive apparatus iu the public school but there are fomo things we must have, however, such as good blackboards, globes etc. We need longer school term. Other states have longer school term than the grand old Keystone State. Let us get into harmony with the spirit of government in New York as relative to school work. Fill DAY MOKXIXO. At 9 o'clock institute opened by j singing, "All Hail tlie l'ower of Jesm Name." Hull call. Dr. Albro—Work. We cnnn.it i transfer knowledge that we have iu | our mind to auy other, the ait of | teaching is the ait of stimulatingand I guiding self effort. The mobt skill* ful teacher is one who dose not try to communicate knowledge ; the work must be done by the pupil. Your success as a teacher depends on how much you can make, the pupil work ; to educate without look 'ng is the same as teaching a blind man to see. Stimulate interest in the good thiDgs around you. \\ ith* out good order a teacher can not do good work ; a school should he rest ful not tiresome. Ho ai range your program as to keep every one busy. Just as soon as a teacher thinks he is educated, he is going back, and he ceases to be a leader. Aim to secure a higher education. If you cannot attend school, there are plenty of books ihat can be had without much effort,. Report of last year's auditing coin ! mittcc. Announcement concerning J local institute work by Supt.
