Proceedings at tho Annual Meeting (it School Directors. Special to Hvksiso IIkrild. Mahanoy City, Nov. 10. The most uotable feature in connection with the Teachers' County Institute this morning was the arrival of Dr. N. C. Schaefler, of Lan caster, state superintendent of public instruc tion. When the session was oiwued members of tho PottBville School Board and many other School Directors of the county occupied scats upon the stage. Singing under the direction of Prof. Parker opened the session and, after another talk on "Modern Commerce" by Mrs. M. C. Ford, State Superintendent Schaelfer was Intro duced. He received quite an ovation. The Free Library" was the topic of his discussion and he treated it iu a very able manner. Dr. M. II. Brumbaugh, of Philadelphia, spoke on "Pennsylvania History." It was a very Instructive and interesting discourse. This lecturer has firmly established himself In popularity with tho boys who havo been attending tho institute. When County Superintendent Weiss this morningattcmpted to keep tho boys away from tho approaches to tho stago Dr. Brumbaugh mado an nppeal in their behalf. Every time, tho lecturer steps upon tlio stago tho boys give him a hearty welcome. Dr. O. T. Carson, state commissioner of tho common schools of Ohio, gave a talk on recitations at the morning session. Tho annual convention of the School Directors' Association of Schuylkill county convened in Armory hall at ton o'clock this morning. Dr. Charles E. Quail, of Auburn, presided and W. P. Seheerer, of Pottsville, served as secretory. Tho only paper road at the morning session was one by Superin tendent B. t . ratterson, of rottsvillc, on "itoinpulsary Education Law." Quito a number of tho School Directors present took part In tho discussion dn the paper and it was decided to appoint u committee to seo the Couuty Commissioners in reference to the one-third appropriation based upon the number of school children in the several districts. Chairman Quull ap pointed tho following committee : Major E. C. Wagnor, Glrardville; W. F. Seheerer, Pottsvillo ; W. J. Perry, Mahanoy City ; T. It. Edwards, Shenandoah, and Mr. Diefou derfer, Orwlgsburg. There is a growing feeling among tho teachers iu favor of having tho noxt Institute held here. Some of the Shenandoah teachers have intimated their intention to try and take the Institute to their town, wbilo many others of the same district seem disposed to oombino with Mahanoy City and defeat tho electioneering that the Pottsville teachers havo inaugurated. Mahanoy City has fulfilled every pledge that was made last year when it secured tho Institute by tho vote of the teachers, and all tho teachers except those from Pottsville concede this; but they are iu no position to judge of the hospitable arrange ments the people of Mahanoy City made for the teachers because every ono of thorn go homo at night and while here secure refresh ments from lunch baskets, which they bring with them from homo every morning. The vote on the placo for holding tho next insti tute will probably he taken to-morrow and the result announced on Friday. Still it is not certain that tho question will be decided hy a veto of tho teachers. The Couuty Super intendent has the right to name the location of the Institute without consulting the teachers, should ho wish to do so, and it is not unlikely that Superintendent Weiss will ex ercise tho prerogative. It is stated that the people of Schuylkill Haven are urging the selection of their opera house, hut i' is be lieved that if the Superintendent does name a place it will be Pottsville. Under all tho circumstances it would he much more satis factory if the Superintendent would allow the teachers to vote on the question. At this afternoon's session of the Institute State Superintendent Schaeffer stated that in Philadelphia, where the Board of Education is dependent on the City Councils for money with wbleh to maintain the schools, many children are not attending the schools owing to the iasulUcleucy of the money ad vanced for the purpose of building schools and employing taebera. For this reason other districts are much more fortuuat , JJeit year, the superintendent staUd, the 'appropriation for the public schools will be ft.WO.OOO aud it will be distributed among the districts in three parte on the hash of the number of taxablos. on the basis of the number of paid teachers, and on the number of children ranging from 6 to 18 yean of age. It becomes necessary, therefore, to secure a full enrollment. Mn. M. C. Ford spoke on "The Newspaper and the School" aud drew a clear.' oiHieise and brilliant picture of tlte Industry exhi bited In the several departments of a news paper. Mrs. Ford advocates the Introduction of the newspaper as an educator Iu the pub lic schools i CASTOR I A Tor Infants and Children. Til fas. I I: en anry iijftr.
