Proceedings lit an Inlrro
School Tenihcrs Yesterday
A very Interesting local Teachers' In
stitute was held In the High school building
yesterday afternoon with all hut one of the
teachers In attendance and Superintendent
I'. 1). ItoRart presiding. Tho meeting was of
general interest in that It brought out many
points hearing upon the relations of teachers
and pupils to each other, and In one Instance
touched upon methods of punishment that
should be resorted to where pupils inislie
hao, or arc obstinate.
This subject brought out a statement by
Superintendent Itognrt that considerable
complaint had lieen made, to him that some
teachers are in tho habit of striking pupils
on their heads. Ho said he wanted It under
stood that under no circumstances would he
give support to a, teacher who resorted to
tha. kind of punishment. The Superinten
dent added that tho oll'ences committed by
pupils are of such a variety that It would be
llillcult to assign it .punishment that would
be proper for all, or toenumeratewhatshould
ho done In the respective degrees, but that
thcro Is a natural punishment for every of-
funco and a true teacher will seek to know
what that punishment is, and use it.
Tho superintendent also said that ho had
found that Homo teachers were not prompt in
opening their schools and souio have been in
tho habit of going home and leaving pupils
in tho rooms to finish their work In tho
evenings. Ho spent some, time In criticising
those practices.
l!y way of diversion .Superintendent
Iiogart called tlio blackboard and chalk Into
play and gave a problem. It was solved in
two ways and the teachers were called upon
to grade tho problem. Tho result was a wide
dilleienco in tho percentage estimated by tho
lill'erent teachers and quite a spiritod debate
followed and tlio Superintendent asked the
teachers to give the subject thought for sub
sequent consideration. He said tho problem
was presented to show the necessity of uni
formity in estimating examination papers.
Meetings will be held to bring about this
uniformity as far as possibloin all grades,
Tho subject of fall studies was picsented
by Misg Cliue, in which sho gavo many ex
cellent suggestions for teachers of all grados
to have pupil bring into tlio school rooms
leaves, nuts, seeds, etc., as well as different
forms of roots, in order that the pupils may
learn facts concerning them. Tho object of
this is to awaken tlio power of observation
on the part of children, as well as to Impart
knowledge Superintendent llognrt not only
strongly endorsed the suggestions of the
teacher, but highly complimented her for tho
forethought in making them.
Tho subject of language was presented by
Miss Kimuiel, in which was brought out tlio
necessity of constant vigilance on tho part of
teachers to break up snob expressions as "I
done it," "I seen it," "Mo father" and many
such bad habits of speech that aro heard
every day. .Miss Kiminel's idea was that
this work is of more importance than the
text hook work in grammar, and she put this
very pertinent question, "How much better
aio our pupils In school talking in every day
language than hoys and girls who don't have
tho opportunity of attending school V"
Prof. Cooper, Mr. Hooks and Misses
