(Strange of Ore gon City aad Professor B. J. Uoadley of Portland, and the county auperlnteudsnt, Hon. J. 0. Watta. It waa the first time tbe teachers In a body have professionally met Mr. Watts slnoe his re-election, and of course all were glad to see him here again. Monday Utile waa done bit organise. Mr. Watts gave a talk, alter tbe institute bad been opsnsd by a little general singing, upon the work Institutes should do and bow tbey shoald help a teacher. Profsssor Wsttell followed along the same Une, out lining tbe work he wished to do during tbe term as Instructor in giving talks upon methods of teaching ailtbmetio, langutgs, history, reading, writing, spelling and geography. Quite a lively and liilentting discussion by the teachers upon subjects of interest to teachers followed. Mrs. Wsy, Mrs. Kittle, Miss Boyle, Mr. Smith, Mr. Watts and Mr. Wettell took part in the dlacuisioa which turned chilly upon school etitertslnuieot. The decision teemed to be, "give an entertainment by all meant; but give a good one er noes." Tbe chief difficulty found was I lis lack of interest or positive objections of parents. It Is too bsd parenta do not look at these things dif ferently, for as it is said, "Americajs a na tion of orators," and nearly every one must some lime speak in publlo, tbe com mon school is the only place of Inalructiou many will have for tbla public work. Let that InatrucUon be the best that can be bad and, parents, encourage tbe pupil and teacher In tbe work. Monday evening in tbe opera bouse the session waa well attended. The programme as carried out waa: Song by the audience; recitation, Winnie Way; reading, Profes sor W, A. Wetssli; recitation, Mildred Boyle; address of welcome, W. B. Dlllsrd; response in behalf of the teachers, L. J. Meier re. TUESDAY. Tuesday morning "school" opened In earneat with profsssor Wettell as "teacher." The leisons consisted ol a aeries of lectures by the professor. Heading waa Brat taken up and tbe first of bla series of talks about the methods of teaching reading was given. In aaiwer to the question, "What Is Read ing?" several definitions were given. An origins! one which waa generally accepted was, "Beading orally la obtaining the thoughta of othere by pursuing printed lines, sad expressing them." "Reading." sail the professor, "is the great key by which we can unlock all the knowledge of tbe universe." The fundamentals of arith metic were next taken up. "Drill, drill. everlastingly drill," aa Professor WsUell expresses It, is the secret of success In this line. Bays Mr. Wetseil, -there are forty-Dye two-Hgure combinations, ia addition, that every one should, at a glance, knew the sum of, aa one knows the word when seeing tbe letters, without looking at each sepa rately. These should be taught aa thor oughly aa the multiplication table. Quick and thorough mechanical work la what ia wanted in addition, subtraction, multipli cation and division. Arithmetic la a prac tical, not an educational atudy, and should be treated as such. In the afternooa geography was taken up and we were told how to begin to teach geography to those who know nothing ol It. "From the known to the related un known," Is Mr. WetteH'e motto In this. Prom the geography of the Immediate vi cinity spread out, to to tpeak, to the sur rounding country, the atate, tbe United Stales. Let tbe child have practical ideas of geography before it It given a text book. The Instructor described a map which be once aaw. A piece of ground 16x20 feet bad been burned over thoroughly, then spaded up until the earth waa fine, and the map of the United Btatee made there. The mount aina were really mountains, on a small scale of course, with lime sprinkled on tbe now capped peake; the valleya were real depressions with colored Hues for rivers; the arid places were bare and the fertile valleys green with vegetation. From this map, said the professor, one could learn more about tbe United States than In a lifetime of atudy of booka. The first of the two talka upon history followed thia. A child should be taught history from the time It enters the school room, but not by booki; not even, at first, chronologically. Let the teaoher tell interesting stories, using aa few datea and prominent names aa necessary; later on, reading to the pupils from Interesting books; so that when the real study oo rues which should not be un til the pupil It advanoed enough to enter the fifth rending clasa-he will constantly Bud familiar thinga and will not think history dry or hard to learn. Tuesday evening, In the opera house after a song by all present, a musical duet waa sung by Miss Grace Miles and Mra. Curry Another musical treat was the aong by the auartet. Mrs. Watts, Miss Boyle and Messrs. W. and J. O. Watts. A reclta Hon by Irla W. Tarbell was given next. Professor Wbltten reproduced an address upon the Cuban question wbioh waa en thulasticslly received. Next waa a song by six little girls. Then came the great feature of the evening, aleoture by Profes sor H. S. 8trunge, of Oregon City, on tbe subject, "The Full Man." As a starting point, Mr. Strango quoted from Bacon. "Reading niaketh a full nun, writing, an exact mun, and conversation, a ready mau." A full man, educationally, must be full of Ideas which he gets from reading, exaot and a ready conversationalist. This does not alwayt imply a college education, nor tbe reading of any great number of books, but it does mean, according to Mr. fcStrange, the intelligent reading of good books. "Bead much, but not necessarily maay" It hit motto about booka. WEDNESDAY. Wedneaday morning Profeaaor Wettel took up under arilbwetio, factoring and told how thlt should be taught that the pupilt may nse It intelligently. Use tbe brains God gave you think for youraelvat teach your pupil i la aucb a way that they will think give tbera something to think about. Such sentiments ran all through Mr. WetteTi talkt. Mr. Strange then gave a talk oa disci pline In which he said that discipline wat a part and In part of all tbe school work, Good ventilation and correct temperature are necessary to good order. He prefers the noiie of the workshop to the quiet of the funeral. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Wetseil gave a short talk In Profit and Lost ,ln arithmetic, and then for reading, studisd with the class part of Benjamin F. Taylor's poem "Tbe Vane on the Bptre" and gave a practice1 Illustration of how much can be gotten out of a reading lesson. A aecond talk on His tory was then given and at its close we played a History game. Profeawr Wetseil bad oarda arranged each containing the name of eoaae historical character and abort statemente about him. Mr. Wettell read tbe statements and at each one guessed the name, be or she arose, until the statements were all read, when somebody gave the name. For example: Ferdloend de Soto. 1. A Spanish explorer. 2. He landed at Tampa Bay with 000 men. 8. He traveled two years In Florida. 4. He discovered and named a great river. 0. He died and wat purled In tbe river a year .later. An Inter retting game and excellent review drill. Mr. Strange gave a ahort talk on tbe duty the teachers ewe tbe state. Thorough preparation, and tbe best work tbey can do, Is what be tblnkt they owe the state. Wednesday evening In the opera house another excellent programme was rendered. Ilecltatieiie were glvea by Misses Nettie Guild, Gertrude Mulllns end Anna George, and a declamation by Professor Whltten. Tbe song, "Sweet Oregon," was exetllently rendered by a choir. The lecturer for the evening wat Profet tor B. 1. Uoadley, whose subject was "Psychology." Professor Hosdley It ture ly not only a deep thinker but an intelli gent thinker as well. His sentences art to lull of truth and ao ttraigbt to tbe point that they bear being quoted teparately as follows: 1. Education cannot change the soul. 2. The mind wonderfully depends upon tbe nervous system. ' 3. The brain reaches its full site at tbe age of IS and begins to de crease at 40 years. 4. The thinking brain should be fed with nourishing food. 6. Arouse the curiosity and you have the at tention; change also catches the attention. 6. One notices quickest whet one la moat Interested in, as the bootblack notices tbe shoes, tbe batter the hat,t and the barber tbe hair. 7. Early impressions have their impress on the futuij life. 8. Tbe trouble with many people is mat tney too, ddi ao not see. 9. Memory recalls things from the paat Into the present; the mind works easily in youth, so store the mind, then, with facta for use in future years. 10. At tention la the mother of memory, tad In terest li the mother of attention; to make euro of memory eecore both ber mother and her grandmother. 11. The teacher needs a bright Imagination. 12. History and geography should be so taught as to train tbe Imagination. 13. To think ia to unite tbinge with like things. 14. Tbe youth cannot be as deep a thinker at the man, but be can be started on that road. IB. A man abould be able to eee all sides of a question. 16. Cheerfulness ia catching. 17, Express emotion to enlarge it; repress it to make It die. 18. Society ia suffering from center to circumference be cause its members forget to keep their good resolutions. 19. If attention wanders, catch it and bring it back as you would a runaway colt. 2a Let us. as leachera, re member we are doing a greater work than statesmen; they shape aome of tbe external aftalra of life, but the teacher molds the character. After the lecture recitations were given by Jennie Gilson, Mrs. J. G. Muckle, Opal Cox, Winnie Way and Gertie Weed. Six teen girls gave a very pretty flag drill, tbe aiuslo for the march being furnished by Miss Maud Decker at the organ. At tbe cloe of the programme Mr. Dillard, who always does the right thing at the right time, gave a reception where tbe teachers and a few friends spent a very enjoyable time and were ao royally entertained by Mr. and Mra. Dillard that they could not have helped enjoying themselves It they had tried; but no one did, and every one was perfectly happy. THUB8DAY. Thursday morning fractions were taken up during tbe arithmetic hour, and a great many new devices were suggested by Pro fessor Wettell, by which tht teacher could help the pupil to understand this bugbear of young scholars and help tbera to work Intelligently In It. Professor Campbell, of Monmouth, suggested a oh art made by tbe teacher from sheets of manllla paper, with circles, halves, quartan, eighths, etc., of tissue psper pasted on it to help the younger pupils get the concrete Idea of a fraction. Under the head of "Reading." Professor Wetseil gave the essentials of good reading aa follows: First, ability to recognise aad utter words correctly; second, word utter ance, in three partt, correct pronouocation clear enunciation, and distinct enuncia tion. The third essential Is to express the thought and feeling of the selection and to have a clear mental picture of tbe descrip. tlon. Last but not least the fourth essen tial is a good voice, pleasant and under full control. In reading and in speaking the worda should be so spoken that an idea of their meaning is conveyed. The voice should Bt the idea conveyed in the ward. A ehort talk was tbeu given by Professor Wetseil on the subject of "Maps and Map- drawing." He says that it ia not the ex act little crooks and turns given In the book that ahould ba insisted upon by the teacher, but to aaa that the pupil baa the correct geographical idea. It ia better to have them atudy the map and then, with out tbe book, be able to draw a rough out line of the atate from memory than to take the book and make a map exaatly like the one there. He suggested aa a pleasant exer cise in their bavlng one pupil sketch roughly on the board.outllnes of states or countries and having the other pupils guess what atate It is from the partly finished outline, the first one to guess, rise and others rite as they guess It. Another thing he suggested was for the teachers to draw or have drawn upon the Hoard the cross section profile of the country , studied to show the mountains, plateaus, slopes and plaint of tbe country. Another suggestion was the produce map. Have an outline mat of the country and la tot, each part have paeted a taaaple of tbe pro duction of that place. Thursday afternoon Professor Wetzel gave a very Interesting talk about sptlllng and wordt, bringing out many aew and in teresting points. Professor Campbell then addressed tbe In stitute speaking especially of the Normal Schools and how tbey help the teacher and how tbe teacher helpt tbem. The Professor thinks that the most necessary qnalillcation of the teacher la tbe profes onal spirit, which makes tbem do their work because they love It not from selfish methods. State Superintendent G. M. Irwin follow ed Professor Campbell giving a short talk and ending by Inviting tbe teachers to attend tbe Western Oregon Summer State Teach- era' Association, which he will hold at New port for four daya beginning Aug. 16th. Tbe teachers who registered during tbe Utter part of tbe term are, Misses Tlllle Cbeldelen, A Hie Lyons, Cassia Helmer, Fannie Burke, Mrs. Josle Rentfrow, Mrs. L. Belle Gaddlt, Mist Marie Watts, Miss Bertha Petriuk, W. C. Fisher and I. B. Shoemrker, Mre. Kate Perry and Miss Grace Moeck and Mist Ida Morgan. Tbarsday evening the first on the pro gramme wat a aong by toe Muitnoman quartet, Of Portland. Tbey were enthusi astically encored. Next followed recitation by Mrs. Josephine Preston, solo by Miss Frankie Way, and address by State Super intendent G. M. Irwin. Mr. Irwin aayt $1,200,000 have been tpent the past year in thla atate at ttlariet to teachers of the pub lie schools, and that this amount baa been distributed among 8500 teachers. Mr. Irwin wae accorded the closeet attention during hit address, which was along tbe line of patriotism. After aeveral selections by tbe qutrtet, the session closed for tbe evening, after which tbe teachers and their invited guest from other parte of the state, together with about 125 of our home peo ple, repaired to Masonic hall, where Ice cream and cake were served. Tbe evening throughout waa very pleasantly spent. Tbe Institute closes today, and tbe ex pression of many of tbe teachers is that this bat been tbe most successful one ever held in the county. Superintendent Watts bat labored faithfully to this end, and success it bit just reward. PERSONAL ASP LOCAL. M. A. Swager, of Keleo, waa in tbia city Tuesday. D. B.
