The doves of that quartor of the

They traverse wide stretches of sea

the seeds not only uninjured, but
bet ter fitted for germination by the

:acres of land have been covered
with trwss of different kinds, the
birds acting as nature's agents in

Darwin found in six grains of earth

The afternoon session waa oc
cupied by singing and an address of
welcome by Prof. G. W. Twitmeyer,
Professor of the Bethlehem schools,
who also spoke briefly on good or
der nnd discipline in the school
room. He was followed by Prof.
E. L. Kemp, of tho East Strouds
burg Btuto Normal, who also wel
comed the teachers and spoke inter
estingly on school work.
The evening sittsion was occupied
as a social season in order that the
teachers might make mutual ac
quaintances and discuss their vari
ous methods.
Tuesday morning, Prof. Twit-
moyer spoke on the subject, " Cul
tivation of Moral Power." His points
were that children are largely crea
tures of impulse and it is best to
chant to them tho praise of the
good and never weary iu well do
ing to infuse all the sunshjne possi
ble in your lives and the lives of
those around you. It was re
marked that this was one of the best
fcilks giveu in au institute for many
years.
Prof, W. II. Dctwoilor, of the
Bloomsburg State Normal, followed
in a tulk, " How to Teach History."
Ho said history is to fcliQW how man
has developed into what ha tOr
day, it touches patriotism and. good
citizenship, and should be maibt the
subject of intelligent thought fcT
cause it shows the causes anil re
lations of things.
Prof. E. L. Kemp occupied the re
mainder of the morning by ft talk
on ' Power Test in the School
Room." He said botany teaches us
to see things as they nre, that a
more definition is of no worth, un
less you work problems for yourself
you cultivate mechanical power.
Tuesday afternoon, Professor
Twitmyor talked on the school and
its factors the teacher, lessons and
child. Truth is what is as 'it is.
Knowledge is known truth. Tho
teacher must find what the pupil
knows the extent of its knowledge
and lead the child to sum up this
knowlodgo and put it in a stntmont.
The teachor must master the lesson,
and not try to teach too much but
always koep tho children busy.
Prof. Dotweiler also sjioko on the
topic, How to put the instruction
given into prnctico.
In tho evening Frof. Twitmyor
lectured on Citizenship. Ho said
each good trait instilled in the pupil
is a step towards making him a good
citizen. Ho also spoke on the im
portance of teaching economy in the
use of school supplies, and this is a
matter which cannot be too strongly
impressed, unless teachors exercise
enre, the very thing which the state
intends should be of material bonoflt
bocomes an Injury to tho child by
cultivating a habit of wastefulness.
Obedience teaches respect to law and
this is one of tho prime requisites of
of a good citizen. It also teaches
proper respect for the rights of
others, which is also an important
element in the school room and
state.
Wednesday, morning Prof. Kemp
talked on attention : this is tho do-
groo of energy with which tho mind
works, and interest is a first condi
tion. There are several elements
which enter in this, such as the con
tent of the child's mind, dependent
on such external conditions, as the
weather, tho room, temperature,
light and air. The teacher's health
and disposition for tho day, the
health of tho pupil are all factors.
There must be dicipline and a fixed
idoa of good order which is a neces
sity to attention.
Prof. Twitmyer further bilked on
the importance of the teachor hav
ing a clear mastery of the subject.
The child must learn to think and
to act, to form an opinion and to
state it. He must also be taught to
depend on himself. The school
should teach tho child to conserve
strength that when tho test comes
it will not be overdrawn. Man is
known by the result he produces.
The school should develop good
habits and give children systematic
knowledge. It should send them
out with some intellectual develop
ment.

MILFORD LIBRARY IN RUINS.
The Iltillditig nnd Contents Destroyed by
Fire lAst Sunday Morning.
At an early hour Sunday morning
the building on Harford street own
ed by Jos. W, Pinchot and occupied
by the Milford Lyceum Association
for a library ond reading room was
discovered to bo on flro. Tho whole
interior of tho houso soemod to be
ablaze, nnd although the fire com
panies responded with promptness
and streams of water wore quickly
turnod on yet so far had tho flames
extended that it was impossible to
gave any part of the valuablo library
maps or papers belonging to the As
sociation. The building ond con
tents were totally burned. The
houso was insured through the
agency of Ryman and Wells for
$1000 but there was none on tho con
tents. Several theories havo boon
advanced as to tho origin of the fire,
hut none soem to satisfactorily ex
plain it. Stories are afloat of a lamp
having boon removed from a street
light and of the can containing kero.
sene in tne huuding hoving been
found in onother part than where
it is usually kiipt but there is no de
finite means of knowing whether
if these rumors are true they have
any connection with tlio tire. x
The loss falls heavily on tho as
sociation as it deprivos them of
books, which cannot easily bo re
placed, and also of a room. It is
impossible to conceive that any one
could be so dastardly as to do wit h
deliberation on act which inflicts
such serious loss on the community,
