Prof. L. Royal "Address of welcome."
The citizens' ot Corvallis have already
given the teachers a cordial welcome by a
numerous attendance last evening. One un
educated man out of ten gains fair success
in life. Nine educated men out ten meet
with success. Hard-working teachers lay
the foundation of this success. Teachers
look professional. They are professional.
They devote themselves wholly to -their la
bor of love, and present tbe appearance of
hard-working persons. Reply by
Pbof. H. Shier, . :,3
We come from the school-room, a veteran
band, to have our weapons sharpened. We
appreciate the kind words of welcome ex
tended to us. We are glad of this opportu
nity of drinking at the fount of knowledge.

Are school prizes and rewards productive
of good ? is
The Hon. James Chambers entertained
the Institute by telling what he knew about
this subject. The hope of getting a prize
induces the pupilto work. "Eternal
Hope, &c." '
Prof. Emery thought that there is great
danger here. It is a very delicate matter
it encourages some and discourages others.
Besides it is peculiarly burdensome to teach
ers. The on'y way to give prizes is to give
them to all every one does something that
commends himself to his teacher.
Hon. Tolbert Carter is coufidt nt from ex
periencend observation that rewards are
good They do incite children to study.
And the gentleman would be perfectly
willing to contribute t j a permanent fund
for prizes.
Doctor Br -oks was oppose I to the giving
of prizes he thought it best to make
monthly reports. . . .
Hon. L. J. Powell has never given prizes ;
and thinks that a record of standing and
deportment has a tenlency to stimulate.
The prineiple of rewards is correct.
Director Kitridge does not know what is
the best W ty to distribute nrizes. The
parents can stimulate by giving the rewards
for proficiency and good conduct.

then read an essay on "Primary Education."
This being first should be best. Teachers in
this d partmeut must be well prepared to
man ge, not necessarily to gottrn. Parents
should not a ml their children to school to
get them out of the w. y. Teachers are not
nurses. Boys and girls stfm only to be bad.
Teachers who understand human nature
find something good in every bad boy. Em
ploy the best teachers for the primary schools.
S. T. Jeffreys "Education."
The child sees that it is necessary to be
come familiar with surrounding objects
common education common to everybody.
Scholastic educatiion has for its object the
development of the mind. Wealth consists
not in money but in all things that are use
ful. The teacher should endeavor to arouse
the curiosity of his pupil the unquenchable
thirst for knowledge. Show him what -is
truth. Teach coniinual'y the truth. Be
true.

A teacher should not-confin3 himself tot

something about electricity, steam, NaturiJ
History. (The physical structure of the
oyster was elaborately explained.) The
star-fish and the beetle were used - as exam
pies to show how the teacher can prent "
the child'-a mind the elements of Natural
History. To prove that electricity attracts.
very little apparatus is necessary. (Jieie
its power of attractifin and of repulsion was
shown. ). Pupils may be taught to experi

Miss J, FumsR ' " Education of the Mind. "

The mind must be trained and at the same
time it must acquire facts. The pupil must

W. H. Hauert " What is Education T "
Special preparation for every profession is
generally rermired the single exception is
the teacher. He need not be trained for
his profession. Why is it thus? Parents
do not exact the highey preparation.
Knowledge is not the end buY the meant of
education. In order to educate others, the
teacher himself must l,e educated. Let
there be moral training in the school. Cre
ate a thirst for knowledge.
Mrs. L. A. Desnick " Industrial Educa
tion." Man is a wonder. His most wonderful
attribute is thought. Greatness is the power
tc use that which lies about us. Then let
us study the beauties of vV.ure and behold
EThe millennium of education is slowly ap
proaching.
B. J. Hawthorne "Anglo-Saxon."
There is a class of about twenty-five stu
dents in Corvallis College studying Anglo
Saxon. Their progress is gratifying. Prof.
F. A. March has done moie for the promo
tion of this study than any other American
scholar. He has contributed an excellent
Grammar and a Header. These books make
the subject practical and attractive. A fair
knowledge of Anglo-Saxon wi 1 give the
teacher a deeper insight into English Gram
mar than all tbe English Grammars com
bined. The constructions in English that
give the most trouble, are easy and of com
mon occurrence in Anglo-Saxon.
Ladru Royal "Drawing."
Free-hand drawing may be successfully
taught to pupils by giving a little attention,
daily. There is nothing that people need so
much as the cultivation of the perceptive
faculty.
"Dr. J. It. Bayley School Hygiene."
An observance of the laws of Hygi ne
prevents many incurable diseases. Dish
water thrown out the back-door runs into
the well and is again pumped out and drunk.
A long stove-pipe in the room poisons the
atmosphere. To veutilate a room, lot in the
air on one side and let it on t through the ceil
ing. Cold feet in the school-room, frequent
ly proceeds from sitting on high seats. The
Upas tree may be kept out of a school-room.
The teacher and the pupil should practice
strict cleanliness.
The following resolutions were unanim
ously adopted :

nos. L. J. Powell, State Superintendent.
Our Public School system is not perfect.
However, it is evidently improving better
pay, better teachers, better attendance.
The zealous teacher that loves his calling.
that gives his vhole time to teaching, is
bound to give satisfaction. Let him study
the lessons he has to hear. Benton county
is wide awake, and, s tve Multnomah, it has
lone more for education than any other
county in the State of Oregon.

by telegraph to the oregonian.
Nby York, Dec. 23. At tbe New Eng
land dinner to-ni?ht Secreti ry- Sherman, re
sponding to the toast " The national faith
to lie guarded as watchfully as the national
life," said : Public faith to a nation is like
c'mrage to a man or liko chastity to a wo
man. It must be b .-voiid suspicion. The
nation that will not observe its pu'dic faith
when pledged is dishonored and ought to be
stricken from the roll of nations. Nothing
can excuse a violation of the public faith
except overwhelming necessity, which knows
no 1 iW. A!I of us will agree to this axiom,
but, as our Puritan preachers would say, the
difficulty is in the application. Questions
have arisen upon the construction of laws
relating to public obligations, upon which
men have honestly differed ; but one thing
was.nlw.ay clear and undisputed that the
national faith was pledged to the payment
of the V- S. notes in coin. The time when
it should le done, and this only wns a ques
tion of public policy. The public faith was
pledged with the issues of the first note in
March, 1862. It has ben repeated by con
gress, by both political parlies, and was
made definite as to time by the resumption
act. 1 rejoice with you that the time is
near t hand when this pledge is to fulfilled,
and when all our money wbi be kept equal
in purchasing power wih the best gold coin.
BilCirl Irom the mint, it nas oeen .a nam ro- a
Hfo travel, but when we wr3 driven from
the spe ie standard by the necessities of
war. It was certain that we must return,
and that when we did it woud be with
difficulty and suffering.
We delayed to 1 A; the voyage ; we
wasted nor resources iu unprofitable enter
prise and riotous living before our people
could be induced to attempt the task. - Now
that, it is nearly completed, its maintenance
will be easy or difficult precisely as the bus
iness men of the country, and chiefly of this'
city, make it. Congress, hitherto doubting,
waits in hopeful expectancy the mainten
ance of resumption. The. supreme court it
is believed is unanimous In f.ivor of restor
ing coin as the constitutional standard of
money. The president of the United States
will not only enforce the resumption act,
but has an abiding faith in its execution.
The powers invested in the treasury depart
ment are amp to meet all demands, even .
in extreme emergency, but I do not antici
pate any necessity for their full exercise.
Coins will b-3 largely used in the ordinary
transactions of business ; but other forms of
money, strictly limited in amount to the
sum that can safely be raaint lined at par
with coin will be freely paid and accepted as
m mey a all transactions and for all de
mtnds. The necessary confidence that will
depend very much upon m$n like you, who,
in t'tva great marts of trade, handle the pro
ductions" ST-Bgr 'holfe couul.. . If.voir are
