Tin Shep Attached TEACHERS MET One Hundred aud Thirty-Four of the Ablest Instructors of Our Land Meet at Medford and Discuss Various Topics of Interest to the Advancement of Education in Southern Oregon. Almost every day In Modford U like a Fourth of July, barring the fire crackers, and when you add to this usual hustlo arid bistlo with which our people are familiar, the advent of 134 boauliful and intelligent lady and gen tlemen teachers and many of their accompanying friends its a gala day you don't often fiud. Such was the state of affairs during the teachers' in stitute which was held in Medford tour days and evenings of last week. The ball of educational development and entertainment was started rolling on Wednesday evening at the opera house where a largo crowd of people listened to, and applauded heartily the partici pants in the evening's entertainment. The Medford Glue Club composed of the following people, John Weeks, sr., Rev. T. II. Stevens. J. W. Lawton. Prof. M. E. Rigby, Fred and Al. Weeks. Mrs. J. W. Odgers, Mrs. Clara Brown, Misses Redden and Schidler, Miss Roselta Walters, organist, opened the program with an anthem which was rendered very nicely and pleasing. Mayor W. I. Vawtor followed this with an address of weleomo. He bade the teachers and friends thrice welcome yea, many times thrice. lie spoke briefly of the advancements being made along all educational Hues and further mentioned the prervara'ions which had been made to entertain our distinguish ed visitors and make glad their stay among us to such an extent that they will not feel loath at a second oppor tunity to pay us a visit. Ho also expressed the earnest desire that the generous hospitality of Medford"s good peopl-j would be appreciated. The gentleman spoke only about fifteen minuted but his words were we!! chosen and to the point. The address was responded to In a very nicely worded speech by Supt. G. A. Savage, of Grants Pass, and in be half of teachers and visiting friends. The next oa the list was an anthem by the Glee Club, but as all our people know their renditions are of a mot excellent and superior nature we will waive any further complimentary men tion. Oltis Kraus, of tho Jacksonville pub lic -school slipted in right here with a well re ndered and amusing recitation, entitled Jacob Strauss. Prof. Hayes, address followed this. and then came another anthem bv the Glee Club. Then camo a very inter esting talk oa the benefits of institutes by Prof. C. S. Price, in place of Hon. II . L. Benson, of Grants Pass, who was not pre sent. The Medford Male Quar tette followed this with music, and when you read the names of those making up the quartette you will know. as well as ourselves, that it was a primo article. Here are tho names: Prof. Narregan, D. T. Lawton, E. Phipps and E. Wells. Another very fine musical selection which followed the above, was a duet by Prof. Rigby and Miss Rosotta Walters. This closed the evening exercises. THURSDAY MORNING EXERCISES. Thursday morning the teachers gathered at tho high school building for active institute work. Superin tendent McElroy opened the session with a few well chosen remarks as to the object of institutes and tho great work which is by them accomplished. Prof. Price followed then with a very interesting talk on institute work in general. The field was well covered and none were present who did not, after his remarks, fully realize tho importance of their individual and collective zeal in educational development. A subject which was well handled was "How to teach primary reading," by Miss L. Crockett of Grants Pass. The lady is evidently quite conversant with the juveniles' ideas and knows well how to best develop them. "Moral elements in teaching" came next and was very ably handled by Miss Elva Galloway. A goneral discussion on primary teach ing was next on the program, but as nearly all present had a say on the sub ject wo have not room to give them personal mention. Another general discussion on punishment came next, and following this was a good talk by Rev. Bull, of Portland. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the opening of this session Prof. N. L. Narregan discussed the merits of "Music in Public Schools." As Mr. Narregan is a strong advocate of this blanch of school work and is himself possessed of great musical tnlsnt as well as a delineator capable of convey ing to others a goodly part of his own enthusiasm upon that subject It Is safe to say bis talk was well received. In the midst of his talk he rendered very finely .a solo, entitled "Rainy Day Song." "Methods of Spelling" was the subject allotted to Miss Minnio Tuff ts, of Grants Pass, and she present ed many Ideas and theories that were doubtlessly written on the memory of many present. This subjeet was taken up by Prof. McElroy and discussed more at length. "Methods of Teach ing Geography" was givau over !o tha caro of Prof. L. L. nrown. of Gold Hill, and the gentleman ''mapped" out many useful bints and e:uy tusthods for teachers. "How to Teach Common Fractions," by Prof. A. L. llazelton, of Eagle Point, was by no means an unin teresting part f the program, and Mr. Hazelton's way of showiug up his ideas seemed to tal:c well. It was right in here that a Utile, use ful amusement was afforded by means of a littlo blackboard pronounciation. Sixty words were placed oa the black board and a prize offered anyone who could pronounce correctly any fifty of them. The highest number was scored by Miss Alva Galloway who reached the forty-sixth notch and the lady was given a Websters dictionary as a prize. What a person needs a dictionary for who could pronounce forty-kix words out of that conglomeration of queens' English is more than we can guess. Better have given it to somoone who couldn't pronounce any of them. After this camo a discussion: "Failures iu Teaching." Of all mistakes in life there can be uone more disastrous than those which could be and iu many :ases, are made iu t inching. Of course the teachers in attendance at the iustitut " have never made any. and they should blaze wel their pa'.hs .hat those following may not be misled into thd mistake wilderness. THURSDAY EVENING ENTERTAINMENT. The opera bouse was again crowded to overflowing and the exercises were fine throughout. The solo of Mrs. A. S. Foster was especially good, as was also the organ and violin duet by Miss Walters and Mr. Ingles. A recitation by Miss Agnes Devlin was a treat to all listeners and long and loud was the ap plause. The voc-U solo by Miss Ha'tie Thornton, of Ashland, was another meritorious renditioa of the evening. FIllDAY MORNING SESSION. Miss Alicj Cirj gave a very inter esting talk on "How to Economize Time in the Schoolroom," followed by an interesting talk by Prof. Rigby oa the "Functions of the public school." This session was closed with a general and lengthy discussion oa the subject: "Aro Pupils and Teachers Over worked." AFTERNOON SESSION. ''Menial Arithmetic Methods of Class Work" was one of tho subjects brought out at this session and very thoroughly treated by Prof. Narregan. "How to Gain tht Confidence of Pupiis" was the subject whieh Miss Delia Picket dealt with. The lady discussed the subject in a very masterly manner and if she hadn't the confidence of her pupils they are more difficult to gain than most of the juvenile world. Saturday's session was a short one but nevertheless equally as profitable as were those of other days, but as Miss Cnrsou did not explain how to econo mize time in a newspaper office aud space in the news columns, we fear we will be obliged to abridge that days exercises.

If tho teachers did cot enjoy their visit to Medford it was no fault of our people. An iaVjresting featura Saturday morning was that of a thorough class drill by the pupils of the primary schools, under the guidance of their teacher. Miss Ida McClellan. Friday evening's entertainment at the opera house was attended by the largest crowd that ever congregated in that building. There were just 65 people present counted as they left the hall by Marshal Johnson. The en tertainment plevsed them all and no ; small amount of praise was given the participants. The public school band furnished ex cellent music at intervals throughout the several days' session, and all visi tors marveled at their proficiency in a musical way considering their age and size, but their thoughts soon reverted to Prof. Narregan 's talk on "Music in tho Schools" and the wonder ceased to be a wonder and they only inhaled the delightful strains with the feeling of ecstacy which comes over us all when listening to sweet music. Woodrill Warbles. Business is lively. Jas. Hurd, from Forest creek, is in town. J. W. Robinson, the Wimer mer chant, was down not long since. Wm.

Medford climate scorns to agree with teachers, for all seem to have enjoyed themselves at the Institute. Prof. B. R. Stevens, of this place, is teaching school up the creek about five miles, and has a large attendance, Chas. Williams, of Pleasant creek, called a few daya ago and informed us that the gold fever is still spreading.

That he would always revert with pleasure to the school days in Gold HilL and that he could say conscien tiously, that though he may have sometimes erred, that he always meant well for the pupils as also the patrons. It is due to candor to say that Professor Freeman leaveg Gold Hill without one single blem ish on his character, either as a man or teacher, and carries with him the best wishes of alL Observer.
