THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
, The afternoon session opened promptly
at x .15 o'clock with 102 teachers to answer
to roll call.
FRIDAY, MARCH
I Prof. M, R. Brown; of Lebanon, opened
the exercises with en aanv on the "Re
quisites of successful teaching." He ssid
the chief aim of the true teacher is the
pupils Improvement and their happiness.
The teachers conduct both In and out ef
school should be such that (t inspires those
under his care to follow bis example. He
cannot be In any way successful when any
thing short of perfect obedience is allowed.
A successful teacher should have the abil
ity to arouse in the mind of his pupils a
love for study and a desire for Improve
ment. Prof, G. A. Walker, of tbe Albany pub
lie school, then followed with the subject
of reviews and exsmlnstleas,snd confined
himself more particularly to tbe latter. I lr
said In substance that the writtea exam I a
ations Is a cancer eating the vitals out of
the public schools, Written examination
Is a thief and the worst of thieves. It not
Only steals tbe pupil's time but drives him
away from school st an early age I took
my children out of public schools because
I wotted not have them worried to death
by the written examinations, said an emi
nent divine. It would be easy for us to
find tea questions in history for our most
eminent historians, and they would fail
to answer them. In other words the ex
arainstions ahould be to find out what the
pupil does know instead of what he doe
not know, as is generally the case. Most
teschers occupy too much time in clerics!
work, that Is in keeping the tardy marks,
corporal punishment and the everlasting
written examinations. In Harvard Uni
versity the work of six months is summed
up in a three hours written examination.
It is a well known fact that those pwplta
who have memories for bolted down facts
will be wonderfully successful In these ex
aminations. What will take the place of
these examinations, Is the all important
qaestlon. A record of the dally work Is
the most reliable Indication of the ability
of a pupil. But how Is this record to be
obtained t What shall bo said of the daily
record In the class register ? Let the pupils
know that their standing in examinations
will be In accordance with their daily work
and good deportment Mr. Walker made
a very able and lengthy argument 00 this
subject stating at close that he had only
presented one side of the question, sad ex
pocted to hear from others.
Mr. Hunt of Lebanon school, then said.
I agree with Mr. Walker in neariy sll he
said, but think he has pictured it a little
too strongly about the examinations. 1
conduct written reviews, and my pupilteat
lesst seme of the girls, say that they enjoy
that day better than any other day. These
are held once a month, and we make no
special preparation for them. Of course I
believe In reviewing every day as for that
matter, but outy have written reviews once
a month, and make it a basis of making
out report of standing of pupils, report
cards etc. I cannot do away with alt kinds
of examinations and so prefer this.
Mr. Beyer, of Brownsville, I think It
promotes higher aspirations in children to
have written examinations, that Is they
wish to get up higher, than when we have
no examinations. I do not have little boys
and girls write answers to questiens.which
I know they are not like) to answer. I
give them something easy .something they
can write, aad this encourages them. I do
not give the larger ones questions they
caa't answer, or take them away back in
branches they have not studied, but care
fully examine them in what they have went
over, they will try to get a higher grade st
each successive examination.
Other discussions followed, some favor
ing the disuse of written examinations the
time as several states have dropped the
mental arithmetic
Mr. Jewett of Harrisburg, came to the
front with a short, pointed speech, highly
favoring the written examinations and
mental arithmetic, and was followed by a
few remarks from Prof. McElroy, who
stated tn substance that there were not ten
schools in the twenty nine counties of
Oregon where metal a rithmctic has been
taught of late years that practically speak
ing mental arithmetic has been discarded
from the public schools of Oregon.
Prof. Stanley then resumed the subject
of examinations, and wound up by proving
to a demonstration the truth of the old
adage that reading maketh a full maa,
speaking a ready man and writing an ex
act man.
A very elegant essay was then read by
Miss Jane Morris, of the Albany public
schools, on the subject of oponing and
closing of schools. In substance as follows,
"Variety is the spice of life." Exercises
should alternate and in no case should the
opening of school be the same as it was
the morning before. Music is an excel
lent thing to put children in a happy frame
of mind. Often it is a good thing to teach
the younger pupils choice.short quotations,
etc. It is impossible for us to do justice to
this essay in tMs short space.
The subject of penmanship was then
opened by Prof. D. If. McGee, who gave
some good blackboard illustrations, and
tried to dispense with Spencers four last
principles in teaching.
He was followed and partially supple
mented by Prof. Southerland and others,
but on account of its taking too much time,
the subject was ordered to be carried over
another day.
President E. N. Condlt, of the Albany
College, then gave an excellent address
on the subject of "College bred men In
American History." He said so many
good things and ia such rapid succession
that It is impossible to do justice here.
Prof. W. T. VanScoy then opened on
small things of a teacher's work. A few
wll be mentioned here. When teaching
pupils practical mea8urements,send some
ont to measure lots or small tracts of land,
others to measure certain piles of lumber,
and give them practice they will never for
get. Small things a teacher should notice
and stop at once, Uttering the floor, whis
pering in class, drlakiag water, snapping
fingers, chewing gum, bad language on the
play ground, fighting, knocking off hats,
tearing clothes, all these little things if
looked after at once are easily checked.but
if let go on grow into mountains. Of an
evening never forget to tell your scholars
to take one or two books home, and see
-who can get the best lesson, and a great
mmmt
23, 1888.
many other little things that a teacher
should attend to in order to make s success
of his work. Be watchful ; you bring out
a boy to speak when he has just come to
school and you drive him from the school
and ruin him for life.
All the exercises were interspersed with
appropriate music, snd the best order pre
veiled. THURSDAY KVKNIMO,
The exercises were opened with s clsss
song under charge of Miss Lillle Robert
son, of the Atbsny public schools. Misses
Belie Senders and Rose Estel were heard
In a neatly executed piano duet.Prof. Lee
of the Albany Collegiate Institute, sang a
solo about some gypsies that was pleasing
ly rendr red.and a little girl named Gilbert
recited distinctly. Then President Stan
ley, of the Monmouth Normal School, de
livered a very thoughtful address with "I
know the river" for his text It was quite
full of meat and should have been heard
by some of the Idle young men of the
county.
This was followed by a ciaas song, en
titled, "the little waiter girls," which was
heartily cncored,and a recitation by Miss
Godiey, of Halsey.
Prof. W. T, VanScoy ,of the Willamette
University, then delivered an address full
of good thoughts for teachers as well as
the world generally, and the exerci.es clos
ed with a song by a quartet.
I liV MOSMINO SRSSIOM.
Supt. Reld called Institute to order st
9:30 snd proceeded st once to cell roll
Enrollment of teschers continued with the
following additions : JB Hughes, Lottie
F reach, Jefferson ; Core Moores. Corvsl-
lls. Certificates of attendance were issued
to the teachers.
The subject of Writing in the Primary
Schools was Introduced by Lillle Robert
son of the Albany Public Schools, in a
well-written paper which showed Miss
Robertson to be proficient in the subject
she discussed. Mrs Whiting asked If it
were necessary to teach more than three
principles. Mr Jewett answered by saying
It was not. Mr Pogue favored the use of
all principles. Mr McGee, of Spicer also
favored the use of all the principle.. D W
McOee favored the use of the pen ia the
beginning. Prof Williams gave an exege-
is of his method of teaching penmanship.
Mi net lavor teachiag the pupils princi
ples at first Prof Walker stuck to his de-
ire to dispense with all principles. Mr.
llerren said his method was to teach from
the board by letters and by sound. M
Jewett felt glad he stood on a plane with
such men as Lincoln, Grselev, Nesroith.
etc.
Recreation ia Arithmetic was introduc
ed by Ina L Robertson, of Albany, who
illustrated her work with a class of young
ladiea. A very pleasant discussion follow
ed. Prof J M Williams offered a motion to
appoint a committee to draft a form of or
ganisation for a count v teachers' associa
tion. The following committee were ap
pointed : Messrs J M Williams.B B Child
crs, H IF Herron.Missia Liliie Robertson
and Msttie Paul. X
The subject of Morals and Hew They
Should be Taught was introduced by Mr.
McGhee, of Spicer and was welt Jtandled.
Pro! Lee introduced the subject of Phys
iology and gave a concise statement of his
method of teaching it, illustrating by
charts.

toral may always be relied upon for the
apeedy cure of a Cold or Cough.
Last January I was attacked with a
severe Cold, which, by neglect and fre
quent exposures, became worse, finally
settling on my lungs. A terrible cough
soon followed, accompanied by pains In
the chest, from which I suffered intense
ly. After trying various remedies, with
out obtaining relief, I commenced taking
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and waa
Speedily Cured.
I am satisfied that this remedy saved my
life. Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, R. I.
I contracted a severe cold, which
suddenly developed into Pneumonia,
presenting dangerous and obstinate
symptoms. My physician ordered the
use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. His in
structions were followed, and the result
was a rapid and permanent cure.
H. E. Stimpson, Rogers Prairie, Tex.
Two years ago I suffered from a severe
Cold, which settled on my Lungs. I con
sulted various physicians, ana took the
medicines they prescribed, but received
only temporary relief. A friend induced
me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After
taking two bottles of this medicine I was
cured. Since then I have given the Pec
toral to my children, and consider it
The Best Remedy
for Colds, Coughs, and all Throat and
Lung diseases, ever used in my family.
-Robert Vanderpool, Meadville, Pa,
Some time ago I took a slight Cold,
which, being neglected, grew worse, and
settled on my Lungs. I had a hacking
cough, aud was very weak. Those who
knew mo best considered my life to be
iu great danger. I continued to suffer
until I commenced using Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. Less than one bottle of this
valuable medicine cured me, and I
fuel that I owe the preservation of my
life to its curativo powers. Mrs. Ann
Lockwood, Akrou, New York.
