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.

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.

Utter part of tbe term are, Misses Tlllle
Cbeldelen, A Hie Lyons, Cassia Helmer,

L. Belle Gaddlt, Mist Marie Watts, Miss

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.
