TEACHERS' INSTITUTE
(Contlnuod from page 1)
i ruction of W. L. Dunton, sang three
ry pleasing selections which were
; credit to both themselves and to
air iiiHtructor, and which added
licit to the enjoyment o( the In
ltulo. Tho afternoon ioslon was opened
1th Bongs by the institute, J. II.
I 3('oy acting ai director. Mr. Mc
( f tliun sang a aolo which was great
) ' appreciated by the audience; he
! 'Jed to respond to tho oncore, owing
a cold.
. Miss I.llllo M. Leith of tho 8t. IIol-
r bcIiooI, was the first apeaker of
I afternoon. In her talk on "How
! J, You Teach LangungeT" Mlim
1 It li suggested that thore be organ
s' In tho county, a "Got Together
r i Good English." Miss Lolth, In
; rtlculur, took up tho parti of
i. aech. In which pupil are often de
ficient, and atikod different toucher
to five their methods of presenting
tlits phase of the work in language
. C. E.' Ostrandor had for hi sub
ject "Mechanical Drawing." Ho de
fined inechr.nlcal drawing as "The
expression of an idea or ideal which
I la the mind of tho porson who is
doing the drawing, expressed by
mean of Instruments." Mochanlcal
drawing I a practically new subject
in tho curriculum, coining with the
lncrouued domnnd for practical sub
ject. Noatnes and accuracy are
e antlals of mechanical drawing
there must be absolute accuracy. In
meshanlcal drawing, an object Is
portrayed exactly as It is. This sub
ject furnishes an avenue of escape
for the pupil who find some of the
ot: W High School subjects unlnter
e:'.'ng; it also Is an IncentlTO to vo
cai:onul training.
. J. 1). llrehaut of the Houlton
school, spoke on "Mothods in Mathe
matics." In mathematics one must
have thorough knowledge and some
art of presenting information; the
second attribute is Just as vital as
the., first. Mr. llrehaut mentioned
five different methods of teaching
mathematics: the locture, genetic,
I. "lvldunl, heuristic and laboratory,
r 1 commented on each method.
UIhs Mildred Allen, teacher at Co
1 .:ablu City, ronderod an instrument
al solo In a masterful manner, and
responded to an encore.
A. H. Owen of tho Qulncy school,
gave tho lust talk of the day with
"The Toachorago" a his subject. Mr.
Owen called attention to the fact that
there are bettor living conditions In
the city than in the rural districts;
O'Vof tho main drawbacks ot a
t her In a rural district, Is the ques
t i of gottlng a good placo to board
. jmotlnios it Is very nearly a ques
tLa? of getting anywhere to board.
b' tj of tho housos have no conven
louces; they afford the teacher no
privacy; no chance to prepare her
work, and she sometimes has to con
ten 4 with conditions actually detri
mental to her health. A teacher's
cottage would give tho teacher a
chance to prepare her work; and en
tertain her pupils or help thorn in
th:r work; and would make her cot-ta-8
a sort of community center. P.
P. Cluxton, U. 8. Commissioner of
Education, thinks that a model teach
er' eottago should be built on ground
belonging to tho district, forty or
fifty acres In extent; the principal
should bo compelled to live In that
p.:.icipal's cottage, and should have
ranlon, barn, chlckenyard, and
anything of value to the community.
The state of Washington louds In
t.achor's cottagos, having 108. Mr.
Uwan said that teacher's cottages
are needed in Oregon, and that they
are coming.
The instltuto closod nt 4 o'clock
sharp. Everyone was happy and did
not try to conceal the fact that thoy
had really enjoyed the day.
Tho Indies of tho Congregational
church served a double dinner, which
was enjoyed both by tho visiting
teachers and tho people generally.
