Balllot and Stookwoll Continue Their Instructions County Direotors Moot. Mr. Stockwell closed his address yester day with remarks that evoked the appro bation of the audience. Mr Stock foil will be ono of the lecturers to-morrow. Under tho head of miscellaneous County Superintendent Weiss presented a number of questions wtlch Miss Seegmiller very intelligently and gracefully answered. In answer as to what grade lessons in drawing should be given Miss Seegmiller answered that it should be commenced in the first grade, as soon as tho child enters tho school and should bo continued through all the grades. Miss Seegmiller, by tho way, is a Cana diau by birth and was educated in tb, schools of lhatcountry. She is eviJentlj a Canadian-American, for she possesses all the intelligence and grace of that type ol raco. A resident of Qrand Rapids, Michi gan, for six years, tho lady passed lruiu the primary school to tho prlcipalship, and now holds an important public school po sition in Alleghany City Miss Seegmiller touched a popular chord when she spoke of tho admission of pupil duriDg tho school term. Mr. Whiimor, principal of the schools at 'ho elevated town of Frackville, stated tuat tho School Board of that placo bad adopted a rule by which pupils are admitted during the first two weeks of the term, first two weeks of December and first two weeks of March. It also stated that Berwick and Minersvillo have adopted a similar system. Mr. Sweeney, of Mlnersville, made an address on the proportion, maintaining that "law is -law" and tho directors and others connected with the school districts must abide the consequences. Under the head of "miscellaneous" several questions propounded by teachers by manuscript wore answered by Mi-s Seegmiller to satisfactorily that applause marked the lady's departure from tho stage. Superinlondont Houck failed to give the Instruction announced by the programme, bat ho gracefully led the assemblage in song and the County Superintendent dis missed tbo audience for recess. Tho aftornoon session was opened by Hiss Seexmillor. who continued her in struction on drawing and held the un broken interest of the auditors. Dr. Balliot continued bis instiuction on numbers and was warmly applauded as ho loft tbo stage. After hoaring instructions from Miss Seegmiller and Dr. Balllot yesterday after noon the teachers in attendance at tbo county institute in Ferguson's theatre llsloned to Dr. Stockwoll's Instructions for teaching Unitod States history. The ad dross was a thoroughly patriotic ono and at times Dr. Stockwell grew eloquent. In teaching United States history a roal knowledge oi tho men and women who figuro in tho history should be imparted, It Is our duty (o put flesh upon that old skeleton that has stood in tbo school house so long. Don't be afraid of a text book on history. Our own history bangs upon tour great salient facts. Devote your attention to thoso four facts and make them stand out distinctly and clearly. Tho facts are : The discovery. The settlement. The in dependence. Tho rebellion and recon struction. Deputy State Superintendent Houck fol lowed Dr. Stockwell with an address that was both inttructivo and humorous. lit said he never attended a larger or more at' tentive ins'.itute in Pennsylvania. It is a grand advancement to the cause In which the teachers, princlpils and superinten dents aro ongagod. THIS MORNINU'8 SESSION. Superintendent Iiouck was on hand promptly this morning and opened the session by leading the Institute in singing. Miss Seegmiller again took up the sub ject of drawing. Dr. Stockwell spoke on school management, and Dr. Balliet con tinued his talk on arithmetic. The asking and answering of questions and a genoral discussion of the . next occupied the atten tion of tho Institute. Tho cession was cloeod at noon by Superintendent Iiouck, who made another of his humorous ad dress 03. THE ENTERTAINMENTS. Major Henry O. Dane's lecturo on "The Oreat Naval Battlos of the Kebollion" in Forguson'i theatre on Monday evening, boforo tho teachers of the Institute, was a highly instructive and pleasing piece of work. Dr. Jaino? T. llodley lectured last night on "The Sunny Sido of Lifo," and gave thorough satisfaction to the largo audlnnco. To-night the third entertain ment of tbo series will bo given by Miss OliioTorbett and ber concert company. To-morrow nigbt the course will bo closed by Marshal P, "Wilder, the great humorist, the Park S slors' quartette and the lllgh school quartotte. THE DIRECTORS' MEETING. Eleventh Annual Convention of Their Association. In response to the circu ar issued 1 y 'ho xecutive commilteo of the Publl School D i recti rs' Association of Schuylkill count) about soventy school directors met in con vention in tho High tchool building this morning. C invention was called to order by K. O Wairner, of Uirardville. The'o was urn drawbick In tbo meeting and that was th absence of tho old-time secretary, Mr. K A. Wilder. Mrs. S. O. M. Uollopotcr was grunted the privilege of the fl or and distribute circulars on scientific instruction in school and colleges on temperance. Mr. Robart Harris, of Tamaqua, nomi nated by D. A. Jones, Eq , of Minerr villo, was olectod to servo as secretary tho association, in the absc co of Mr. Wi dor, who was prevented from being in at tendance by a severe cold. Deputy Stato Superintendent of PublK Instruction Houck and ex-County Super inlondont J. A. M. Passmoro, now il Philadelphia, occupied seals In the conven tion. Mr. E C. Wagner not being ablo to ro main in attendance at the convention all day, and tho vico president not being presont, David A. Jones, Esq., of Miner villo, was elected president of the associa tion. Mr. Wagner had filled the position two yoarB. Frank P. Spieso, of Tamaqua, road a paper on "Aro County Institutes, as now conducted, of practical benefit to touchers? ' Mr. Spiese was of the opinion that the returns for the amount of money expended on county institutes are not sufficient, lie said he felt tbat local Institutes should be encouraged, but tho county gatherings should be abandoned. Dr. Lockner, of Schuylkill Haven, ro fretted that any doubt should ariso at titil late day as to the valuoot county institute Tho charge that men aro brought as in structors to the institutes who do not under stand the wants in the public schools ol tne respective district was without founda tion. What are tho teachers in tho rural districts going to do if you abolish the county Institute? Put it to a vote of tbo teachers and see if thoy will vote that the county institute is a failure. I hope that no resolution condemning tho county in stiluto will be passed by this body to-day Let them have their county institutes and let eveiy wide awake city and borough have their local institutes. As to Mr Spiese's suggestion that the mojiey which could be saved by tho abolition of tbo county institutes could go tn a fund for pensioning old school teachers., Dr. Leckner said ho did not consider a school teacher entitled to a pension any mure ihan tho man who works in tho mines. David A Jones, Esq., thought that Ihe advancement made in educational circles is too groat to permit the abolishment ol county institutes. But tbore has been a systematic effort to force tho arguments ol hired instructors down tho throats of teachers and then deprive them of indo pendonce of opinion. Moro time should be given at the institute to hoaring from tho teachers what should be done to improv our school system. If this is done tho cry against the county institutes will soon die out. Take the shackles from the teachers and give them an opportunity to be heard Mr. Spiese spoke again and said if you are going to encourage your teachers you must do it practically. Pensions should be offered to keep the good teachers within the ranks. Pensions would induce teacher to make their profession a life work. It would bo solidifying tho corps of teachers Teaching in the public schools should bo raised to a moro exalted standard as a pro fession thau a mere stepping stono to some other businoee. Devote more time to tho district institutes. It is a good thing for tho teachers of the county to get togetbor once in a while, but there should be a meeting of tho teachers In each district every week. The tenor of my paper doo not say tbat county institutes are not doing any good, but it does say that such Inst! tutes have drifted into a rut that made them impracticable. Thomas ltalrd ipoko lor the district and county institutes. Anybody who con demns the institutes shows tbat he doos not get into the schools very often. Nothing would be raved by the abolishment of tho county instilutos, because tho teachers would have to bo paid for teaching during tho period they aro now attending tho institutes. Tho more frrquent you got your teachers togetbor, tbo moro they learn. Anthony O'Donnell, Esq., said be was not opposed to county Institutes, but bo was opposed to tho method in which they aro now conducted. It would be better if tho County Superintendent could be at liberty to visit tho school rooms more frequently and not have all his timo taken up by tbo institute County Institutes should be hold during vacation timo. Any theory taken away from this Institute this week and adoptod is just as inconsistent as tho adopt ion of new text books In the mldJlo of tbo school term. It is blgh time that tho county Institute, as now conducted, should be abolished. I trick Dunn, ol Mlnersville, thoiiRli he discussion ol the paper had s'raye' wldoof tho mark. AVouldn't it bo more appropriate to let tho teachers who moot In annual convention discuss that question U t hemtolves? Chairman Wagner, in answering, said In houiiht th- point rai-ed by .Mr Duni hould be considered in dlscussl n of the ijuettion, Mr Junes thought tho question was lo ng properly discussoJ and ottered tho fol low ng: 'Hesolvcil that this convention Is of opinion that In tho teachers' county insti- : .to more timo should bo given to teachors if the couniy to take part in its oxiieises nd to present such suggestions and Irntruc lions as thoy shall (I Horn of benefit to the chuols, scholars and leathers of the county." A, J. Gallagher, of town, said that he was of tbo opinion that toacheis aro not lye an opportunity to bo heard at the ounty in.tituios. Mr. Gallagher did not oeliovo in Mr. Baird's idea that school tochers should not .bo allowed to teach for mure than ton years. Hon. John T. Schooner, of Orwig&urg. was of tho opinion that county institutes, as now conductod, aro a ben fit. If con ventions of civil engineors, medical men and other professions aro conducive of good, conventions of teachors are. Mr. Dunn, of Minorsvillo, moved that tho consideration of tho resolution bo post poned until such timo as tho teachers of tho county institute havo au opportunity of discussing the question. Messrs. Shoener and Spieso spoko against tho moti n as out of order. Tho motion was defeatd. Torrence Ginley, of Girardrillo, pro' sented tho following : "Jiesohed, that it is the sonso of this convention that county institutos, as now conducted, are of prac Heal benefit." Tho ro3olution was adopted by a largo majority. iuu uuopnon oi tno resolution was a clean knockout of what many ol tho school teachors and directors classed as a Pottavillo scheme. Mr. Jonos' resolution was then put boforo tho convention and also carriod, after which tho convention adjourned, to re convene after dinner. in relerenco to the list ot attendants at tho school directors' convention will show that Pottavillo did not havo a representa tive at tho moeting. This certainly does not speak wall for the county seat. Swatara Thomas Brennan, Michael Brennnn, Thomas McGann, Michael Bros nahan, Thoodore Beverage. Tromont township Edward E. Kaer chor. Gordon U.
