INSTITUTE
AFTERMATH
"LEFT-OVERS" FROM THE FEAST
OF GOOD THINGS ENJOYED ItY
OUR PEDAGOGUES LAST WEEK
THE CHILDREN WILL RE
CEIVE THE BENEFIT OF WHAT
TI1EIH INSTRUCTORS IMBIBED
AT THE FOUNTAINS OF WIS
DOM SOME RESOLUTIONS
ALSO.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Dr. Howerth concluded the sub
ject of tho morning, "Tho Teacher's
Art," and Its relation to tho other
nrtB. Tho palntor can embody his
Ideal on canvas; the horticulturist
In tho benutlfully developed flower;
the sculptor In marble; but tho teach
er works out hers In a living being.
This beauty of character developed
by tho artist-teacher will endure for
ever. So teaching ranks above other
arts. There Is one art that ranks
above teaching because it deals with
the group, society Instead of tho
Individual. This Is government or
ideal legislation which should de
velop an ideal humanity.
Air. Frank Jenkins entertained
the institute very agreeably with sev
eral selections on his fine graphon
ola, and after nn Intermission nnd
music Dr. AIcFarlane gave a talk on
"The Human Element In Geogra
phy." We attempt to train tho In
tellect of the children who enter our
schools. We give some attention to
training tho will. Let us not train
the head alone and forget the heart
the emotional side of the child's
nature. It Is worth while to get
knowledge and understanding but
with it let us have beauty and the
capacity for Understanding beauty.
I'd put beautiful pictures on the
wall and let them give their silent
message and uplift. Tho man with
a capacity for tho enjoyment of
beautiful things lives the broader
life and is a happier and more com
fortable man to live with.
The entertainment in the Lyric
by Rogers and Grllley Is one that al
ways pleases th audience as Is prov
en by tho fact that this was their
third performance in Honesdale.
Tho sweet music of the harp and
the fine Impersonations and selec
tions given by Air. Grllley, tho en
tertainer, several of which were his
own compositions, combined to make
a very pleasant entertainment.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
The institute was called to order
promptly at 1:45 and as Dr. AIcFar
lane had to leave on the afternoon
train ho wafe given the first period
and spoke 'on "The Twentieth Cen
tury Boy and His Teachers." Edu
cation is attained through a number
of instrumentalities of which the
church is only one. A man's school
ing begins when ho onters school
and ends when he leaves, but his
education begins wlen first his eyes
behold the light and continues as
long as life lasts. His educators are
the church, the home, the state, so
ciety and Inst but not least the
school,
Tho Influence which emanates
from tho church Is of value untold
to tho Individual and to society. 1
would not knowingly place my child
In the care of a teacher who could
say she was an unbeliever.
The home exists for the child and
more and more we aro building our
homes around our children.
The state or form of government
that allows individual development
Is giving the broadest privileges to
its citizens, and then society that
gives ease of manner and culture.
And so tho scholarly education that
comes from books is only a part of
our education.
The teachers regretted that this
was Dr. AlcFarlane's last talk as his
work has been very helpful and
enjoyable.
Dorln's Juvenile Orchestra enter
tained the audience with several se
lections which wero greatly appre
ciated. They certainly reflect great
credit on their teachers and leader.
Dr. Howerth spoke on "Ideals and
Education."
Education consists in controlling a
set of forces which may be called
educational forces. Tho Ideal exerts
a sustaining and inspiring influence
on man. Biography Is wull of illus
trations of this influence on tho lives
of men. Every Idea wo get into our
brains tendB to manifest Itself. "As
a man thlnketh so Is he." If tho
Ideal can so form the life of the
adult how much more will it sus
tain and uplift tho child in tho for
mative period. Interest changes as
tlmo passes. The function of the
teacher and preacher Is to so con
trol theso changing interests that
they progress not" regress. Hold the
Ideal constantly beforo tho life un
til It becomes a part of It.
Tho Ideals of tho future aro to be
tho heroes of peaco, not of war.
I would hear, not less of tho mil
itary hero, hut more of the man be
hind tho plow, tho men who go
down to the sen in ships, thoso who
delvo itnho earth to bring up riches
for mankind, thoso who servo man
kind and glvo their lives to bene
fit their fellowmen.
Tho Dudley-Buck Co. gavo a very
delightful musical entertainment nt
tho Lyric on Wednesday ovenlng
Tho theatre was well tilled and tho
audience very much pleased witli tho
voices and selections rendered hy
tho company.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Rev. George S. Wendell of the
Baptist church conducted the open
lng exorcises on Thursday. The
High school teachers met In Miss
Gregory's recitation room jand .discus
sed High School English. Miss Merta
Undorhlll, Hawley. read a paper on
"What Wo Aim to Accomplish In Our
High School In First Year English."
My aim Is tho samo as throughout
tho course, namely, to develop n
lovo of literature and glvo a means
of expression. A child should bo
taught to notice development of
character, directed carefully by tho ' said ho would continue the subject
teacher. Cultivate tho Imagination. 1 of yesterday morning and let "iho
You may do this hy reading a por-, Finished 1'roduct" tuko care of lt

and lot them develop It. 1 of men is dlgnltled and sacred. All
leach tho four forms of composl-
Hon, description, narration, exposi
tion and argumentative through
themes.
Miss Alice Gregory, Honesdnle,
gnve tho second talk on "Second
Year English." Tho four years spent
In High school contribute more to tho
formation of character than any
other four years of life, in our lit
erary study wo must endeavor to aid
our class to Interpret life, to respond
to the demands made upon them as
men and women.
The pupil must first be well
grounded In grammar. Ho needs to
have an Intelligent grasp of the sub
ject. Our work In second year con
sists of a course In composition, rhet
oric and the following classics: Ivan
hoe, The Lady of the Lake, Idyl's of
the King, Vision of Sir Launfel and
Julius Caesar. .Miss Gregory follow
ed hy a helpful and practical talk on
how to obtain the best results In fol
lowing out tho course nnd making
it enter largely not only Into the
mental training but also the develop
ment of character.
After singing "In Dear Old
Wayne," Dr: Howerth spoke on tho
"Nature of Interests." Some of our
interests aro the samo as those man
ifested by the lower 'anfth'als.
Things that move, strange 'otinils,
strange sights. Strange things not
too remote from our experience are
easily remembered. A story of ad
venture; an element of mystery.' '"It
Is no trouble to hold a pupil's atten
tion if that is the end In view1; Wo
aro Interested in things which con
cern us or have personal worth to
us. Our Interests proceed from a
selfish motive, not however In a
narrow sense of the word. Get a boy
to see that it is to his Interest to
know the English langungo, and you
will have no trouble in getting him
to study grammar.
We must arouse tho interest of
children In those studies included in
tho curriculum. The child, as the
man, becomes stronger by the per
formance of duty.
Prof. Chas. Albert of the Blooms
burg State Normal School was the
next speaker and discussed "The
Proper Proportion of Time in the
Course of Study." Last year of the
nineteen million children of school
ago In the United States eighty-five
per cent left school at tho end of the
fifth year. Eleven per cent, finish
High school while four per cent, go
to some higher Institution of learn
ing. It Is unfair to arrange our
school course for the four per cent.
What can we do for this great num
ber who leave school so early In life?
Can we In five years glvo them
enough to prepare them for their life
and work?
Reading intelligently Is the first
thing of Importance. Wo get a large
number of pupils In our Normal
School who cannot read intelligent
ly. During the first year seventy
pqr cent, of the time is not too much
to give to what we call Language
Arts, including reading, spelling, oral
Speech and story telling. The other
thirty per cent, to arts, writing,
drawing, hand work and vocal mu
sic. The second year the first bran
ches may receive ten per cent, less
time which may be devoted to num
ber. Thus early In life Implant a
love for Reading and Art. The
speaker showed by meansof a dia
gram the change in the time, giving
gradually less to the Language arts
and introducing the new branches in
their place through the eighth grade.
According to this schedule one-third
of this time would be given to the
language arts, one-fifth to Arithme
tic, about one-fifth to science and
nature study, one-sixth to history and
geography and one-fifth ro art.
"A Liberal Education" was dis
cussed by Dr. Howerth Thursday af
ternoon. Tho end of education in
any country depends upon the main
Interests of the country. In a mili
tary country It must bear some rela
tion to war; In a commercial coun
try inust have something to do with
trade. In olden times tho work of
the school was to develop a mem
ber of the aristocracy, a lady or a
gentleman. Originally a liberal edu
cation was one designed for tho free
mau, not for the slave. It should
mean a man whoso body and mind
have been trained to work in accord-1 education. Believing that tho educa
ance with his will. Wo do not de- t,onal interests of tho county will be
vote enough tlmo to tho physical per-1 "dvnnced by his conlnuance In oOico
footing of tho Individual. I'd rather
havo good health than a university
training, rather a fine physique than
all tho money in tho world. How
ever Important tho three R's they
aro a means to an end. We must
glvo the child power to uso this
means. Ho must como out with a
vast amount of Information. Ho
should also leave school with an un
quenchable desire for knowledge that
shall Influence him to go on and on
to success. Glvo him tho power to
think about right things and lvo
him the courage of his convictions.
Tho last period of tho afternoon
was occupied by Airs. Salo Friode
wald, Scranton, who gavo a rending
of "The Piper." This was a play
written by Josephine Preston Pea
body, and was tho one which receiv
ed tho prize offered for a play to be
given nt tho opening of the Shakes
pearean Theatro last May at Strat-ford-on-Avou.
This wub a raro
treat for tho largo audience and wo
hope wo mny havo tho privilege of
hearing Airs. Friedowald again.
The lecture on Thursday ovenlng
was given In tho High School Audi
torium and was preceded by a solo
given by AIlss Edith N. Freed, mu
sic teacher in tho Hawley High
school.
Tho Iecturo by Dr. Edward Am
horst Ott, on "Sour Grapes," was of
such lntenso Interest as to hold the
closest attention of tho audlonco. It
is a" lecture with a purpoao and
'ought to sot people thinking.
After the devotional exercises con
ducted by Rov, Dr. Swift, Air. P. II.
Warren, who sings In the Elm Park
AI. E, church, gave two very pleas
ing solos.
Dr. Howerth who was announced
to speak on "Tho Finished Product"
lahor can ho lifted to dignity If con
dltlons can be made Ideal, and alms
coulu be changed. Thero Is a rela
tion between interest and duty. We
must begin with tho child which Im
plies a knowledge of the child. Ac
quaint yourself with his surround
ings so as to adjust yourself to his
needs. Study the Interests Implant
ed by nature and select those that
aro commendable. Do not rely on
the element of fear or tho Instinct of
rivalry. Get tho child to struggle
against himself. See to it that you
aro Interested yourself. Remember
that It is a greater thing to he a man
or a woman than to be n teacher.
Prof. Watklns delighted tho In
stitute with two songs and the busi
ness meeting was called.
Prof. Creasy read the report of the
Permanent Certincate Committee.
Tho examination will be held In tho
High School building Alay 5 and 0

High School building.

School principals that they had di
vided the High schools of the coun
