TUE8DA V A FTEHNOON.
Tuesday afternoon session was
greeted with a large audience, and
after being enlivened with 'Ameri
ca,'' "Swawnee River" and "Mv
School Ma'am." Dr. Geo. W. Hull.
of Millersville State Normal School,
eloquently addressed the Instituteon
"The Successful Teacher." Thcad
drcss was listened to with rapt at
attention throughout. The .success
ful teacher has right motives, psy
chological and professional knowl
edge, aii acquaintance with the envi
ronment of his pupils. The b st
teachers of our country are the moth
ers lceausc thev love their children
as no one else can.
"Interest" was the -subject ablv
discussed by Dr. Fckels. The teach
er himself must lc interested in the
profession, the School and the pupils
in order to merit the interest of the
pupils. Tlx; relation of the studies
to practical value in life needs to the
create interest. The interest of the
pupils never ris:s higher than the
interest of the teacher.
A very thoughtful, admirableand
interesting address by Dr. Lyte on
"Habit" was listened to with nleas
and profit. "Man is a bundle of
habits." Habits arc our second na
ture. Recome habitual and auto
matic in good actions. This session
was one of unusual profit and in
struction. CmcIMM mrmt wccK.
