THE TEAGHBRS UNANIMOUS FOR IT Procoedings at tho Directors' Moot Ins and Institute Yesterday Afternoon Pottsvillo and Glrardvllio Look Horns. Mr. Houck addressed tho dlr-tnra' n n vention immediately after Caairnian 1) A. Jones opened tho afternoon session y-str- day. Tho older he gets ho finds tboro Is more for him to learn. Hii found this e-pecially truo with regard to the institute evening lee turors. There is always room for Improve monts In Institutes. Improvements can be tnado in all our churches. Tho defeating of tho resolution favoring the abolishment of tho county institutes was an excellent act. There aro no brighter, more active, or moro industrious teachers than tboje in Schuylkill county. Where is tho ex. travaganco in connection with teachers when you give tbcm an average salary of $218.50 and $10 for attending institute? Be liberal toward thetechers and education. 1 have seon work done by tho children of the Shenandoah schools that is not surpassed in the Academy of Design in Pittsburg. You can't measure an institute with a yard stick or moasuro tho mind by bushols. You have ladies and gentlemen in this county who can tako th-ir places among the toachers of Philadelphia. It is tho work of the institute They listen to tho instructors at tho county institutes and do the work in the district institutes. You must stand up for your toachers. You have a bright cot of them. Wo mustn't ask too much of tbeso teachers. They're not angels. Mr. Spiese is sincere in all he says, no doubt, but ho has not studied tho institute question thoroughly. This in stitute Is a grand thing and gives tho teachers a cbanco to hear the groatest men born in; tho country. They would never hear them, perhaps, if it wero not for the institute Now suppose tho institute should do this, "Itesolved that directors' conven tions aro failures?" Hind your own business, eh7 IAiSy Schuylkill county hasanamo, and who has given it? "Why the teachers. Don't let the institute go. It is a great thing and has done too much to be cast away. If you want to bo strong you want to meet together. If you want to make a statu groat you must use money. It tho teachers don't get tho monoy some body olso will, and the Lord knows the teachers get little enough. It will never do for us to let cur teachors go out and say, "I taught school for 2 18.C0 a year in a place whore thoy said county institutes are failures. .Make your country great by beiDg liberal. I have hoard some men speak In my boyhood and what I heard inspired mo throughout my whole lifo. So it is with the teachers at tho county in stitute. Don't be niggardly with your teachers when the state is so liberal with its appropriations. Stand by tho boys and girls and young women and young men Mako your public schools a power. For tho sake of tho cause and your own I am glad you did not vote that county Institutes aro failures. It would have beon a mis take It pays to give tho childron tho very best in the lino of education. Don't be ton harsh on tho County Superintendent. One of tho hardest duties to perform is to suc cessfully conduct a county institute. At tho conclusion of Mr. Ilouck's ad dress the resolution adopted at the meeting of tho superintendents and principals on Tuesday afternoon, limiting the number of pupils for ca:b teacher to fifty, was read. Dr. Lockner move! that the resolution be adopted as tho sense of the mooting. Objection was raised that tho rule would apply well enough to graded scboo e, but not to rural districts. The motion pre vailed, howevor. Poter Stanton, Schuylkill Haven; Ed ward B Harris, Tromontj William Dur kin, Girardville; John T. Schoener, Orwigaburg, and Frank F. Splese, Tamaqua, wero nominated and elected an executive committee of the association, "What is tho ltemedy for-Doadlocks in School Boards?" was a paper read by Anthony O'Donnell, of Newcastle. On motion, the paper was accepted and filed. It was as follows : "As a remedy bouds should consist of seven, fivo, or three mombors, tholattor number preferred, because it would givo tho secretaryship to each director in suc cession, excopt when two would be elected for ono pear. Iu such a cuse tho board should decide by vote and by having the stato law say that each diroctor shall vote on all questions submitted to the board. Tho secretaryship would compensalo each director for bis services. This should be so, as a good discharge of tho duty calls for tltno and thought. I would also recom mend that tho treasurers of school districts bo elected by the citizens, thus removing another bono of contention. I would havo tho law requiro the treasurer to make a monthly statomont." i'errenco Ginley, of Girardville, was elected vice protldont to succeed Mr. Jones, of Mineriville. A J. Gallagher, of town, laid he thought the law ought to define what marks teachors should got and should they think thoy are not treated fairly they should have the right to invostigato and HXatnine all the papers. Mr. Gallagher was asked to refer tho su' joit to tho execu tive committee Owing to a previous engagement, William Stein, of town, was unablo to be prosent and read a papor stated upon tho pro gramme and tho two topics for genoral discussion were passed over, many of tho directors deiring to go lo Institute, THE INSTITUTE. Tho gathering at tho insliluto session in Ferguson's theatro yestordny afternoon was exceedingly largo. Tbe doorkeepers were obliged to refuse admission to over two hundred people Miss Seogmiller rosumed her Instruc tions on drawing and Hon. Thomas I). Stockwoll mado hU final address, conclud ing bis instructions on "School Manage ment." Dr. Thomas it. Balllot gave another in teresting talk on arithmetic, after which thfl institute proceeded to consider mis cellaneous business. Tim following nominations wore named for tho committoo on Permanent Certifi cates: J. U. Eisenhower, MthanoyCity; J It. Lewis, Hhenandoah; William Faus set, Pottavillr; Livingston Seltzer, Palo Alto; I. K. AVitmor, Frackvillo; W. W. Wood, St. Clair; John Linton, Mabanoy City; Miss Jane T. Lambert, Shenandoah; d. LI. Clair, Ashland. Members of tho instituto were notified by County Superintendent Weiss that each ono could vote lor fivo of tho norainoes, the ballots lo be cast Thursday morning. Tho naming of a placo at which the next institute shall be hold was then declared in order. IX. Day Gise named Pottsvillo. Col. Monaghan mado an appeal for Gi rardville and presented tho following in support of his claim : "Jlcsolvcd, That we, tho Board of Trade of thu borough of Girardville, in special session assembled, cordially and earnestly invito tho county superintendent, officers and teachers of tho county instituto now in to eion at Shenandoah, to hold their ses sion nf 1892 in Girardville. "Resolved, That we call upon tho offl cors and teachers interested to aid in giving us an opportunity to display a hospitality second to non in the county." Col. Monaghan supplemented tho reso lutions with an address in which ho stated that Girardville would be connected next year with other towns in the valloy by the electric railway. Mr. Bernor, of Pottsvillo, moved that the fixing of a place bo laid over until somo time next October and tho votes could bo taken from the teachers by the County Superintendent. Tho motion was not sec onded. T. G. Jonos, of St. Clair, then prcsentod tbe followiag resolution : Itesolved, That we. the teachors of Schuylkill county, in convention as tFMb.cd, as tho result of our personal ex perience, desire to afll m our loynlty to the county institute; that we have tound it tu bo th greato-t practical benefit to us and our ecboolt; and that tho results aehiuvvd in our schools of this county (except In thoso schools whose teachers undervalue the work of tho instituto and, consequently, neglect to avail themselves of its advan tage"), aro tbe best evidences of the ex ui'llent o laracter of that work; that wn es pecially indorse the idea of pr'stintlng to leacbir fundamental principles and leaving him tu make such application thereof as his circumstances may demand; that the opportunities afforded for nrofos'ional and social intorcou so are invariable as a means of inspiration and uplifting; tbat the pres ence and aid of leading educators from abroad are he'plul In the largest sense through the contact thus given us with tbe b .t educational thought and practice in tbe country at large: that, in short, we heartily approve of the general plan upon which tho institute is conducted. Alter addresses by Mr. Jones, Col. Monaghan and Thomas Balrd, in supp irt of tho resolutions, a rising vole was taken and there was not a vote in tho whole gathering against tho adoption of the reolutlons. Afier a brief but pleasing address by Superintendent Houck, Harry E. Daly, of Philadelphia, gave an exhibition witb ono of Edison's phonographs and the institute adjourned until this morning. The fourth day of the institute was opened at 9 o'clock this morning by sing ing under tho direction of Suporintendont Houck, Miss Secgraillor rosumed her instructions on drawing. In answor to questions on tho preparation of Clay It is as clean as tho lead pencils and should never get upon desks, fingers, etc. Put in; a cloth, tioup tbe corners, put it in a orock and soak with water. Tho clay will turn out in a loaf. Then, after fifteen or twenty minuto-i, put it into a second cloth. By these means there need bo no complaint about dirty work, Piecoa of oil cloth, drawing papor, or even slates aro bettor than tho ordinary clay boards, which aro heavy, clumsy and noisy. Pussing inatorials tu the pupils can be accomplished in two minutes and never should take longer than that in a welt regulated school. Never uso elates. You mako so much trouble for the teachors who come alter you and nevor get good drawings. Tho touch on papor is altogether different from the touch on stales. What is the UitTeronco between tbo terms "form" and "shape?" Teachers frequently confute the term. By "form" wo moan anything that has three dlmon- lOonttnued on Second Page Institute Notes. Superintendent Houck is "great" ot liurruhs, but rather short of "floators." Miss Seegmiller compliments tho oxhlblt made by the borough schools in tho h ghost terms. U. H. Spayd, of Mlnor-vlllo, is one ol the moat aclivo and attentivu attendants at the institute. Miss Kirk, of Frackvil'c, is ono of the most congenial members of tho institute. F. b. Miller, superintendent of the Mahanny City schools, is on the sick list. I. D. Mutz is getting tho cro.un out ol the institute. Kev. Brant, of Mabanoy Plane, is a cm. stant listoner at institute. Judging trom appearances we will be ne toachcr short noxt year. Pottsvillo has some good looking repre sentatives at intlituio. Miss Williams, of Mineisvillo, always takos a front seat in inttituto.
