Tlio Institute was called io order by the State Superintendent, L. J. Powell, at 10 A. M. Clias. II. Hill was elected secretary and Miss Maggie Sergeant assistant. First, music by Institute; after which, prayer by Prof. LaDru Royal. Teachers were then enrolled, numbering tv, enty. "Method of Teach ing Primary R-ading," upon which J. E. Potter had been appointed leader, was postponed, he not being present. The next subject on the programme was taken up: '"Best School Age," by Prof. L. L. Rogers. He ably intro duced the subject, and was followed by Prof. Powell and others. "Spelling, Best Methods," by W. E. Dean, was also omitted on account of absence. Then the subject of "Primary Read, ing" was placed before the Institute for discussion by Prof. Powell, and dis cussed with interest by Prof. Rogers, J. 1). Fountain, N. H. Clayton and others. The Institute then adjourned to 1:30 p. jr. AITEUNOOX SESSION. Institute was called a little past time by the President. Music by In stitute, "Glad May Morning." On roll-call, three teachers were absent, but there were several new names added to tlm roll. After a few prelim inary remarks by the President, the subject of "Graaimar, classification of letters and words," was introduced by C. B. Fitzgerald and handled welt. Quite a discussion arose as to whether a, an and the should form a separate part of speech. Ym. Willits declined opening the discussion upon Arithme tic, because such an important subject should be introduced by one of more experience than he has had. Prof. Pqwcli went to the board and gave ex cellent illustrations of the uso of the four fundamental rules in fractious, und reasons for the same: he also gave n oi-ject lesson which was instructive and plain. Prof. Rogers also gave koine illustrations in regard to multi plication of fractions. Song by Insti tute, and then a few minutes' inter mission. Upon being called to order, "Beginner's Geography" was introduced by Mus M. Sergeant in a few remarks, followed by a statement of her success. N. II. Clayton, J. N. trail and others (poke on the subject, scmo of whom ere iu favor of oral instructions, while others weie opposed; which caused quite an animated discussion. Prof. Powell sanctioned what had been said concerning oral instruction, and continued his i emaiks at length. He stated the reason for introducing only two series of geograpy into the schools: it was the general complaint that there are too many steps in geography at the present time. There were some illus trations with the globe, and quite a discussion arose upon the advantages of their iiitioduclion into the public school. After music the Instituto ad journed to 8 p. u. evening session. Exercises were opened at 8:15, by the song, "Beautiful Zion." Tlio sub ject of ''Four Short School Rules" was presented by Prof. Rogers. They were, "be studious, be kind, br prompt and be quiet;" and should be arranged upon the wall, that the teacher could call the attention of a pupil to them without speaking. Miss Adah Ilorton favored the audience with a recitation, one of Nasby's ballads, "Hannah Jane." She spoke distinctly and brought out the simplicity and feeling of tliR beautiful selection. The Insti tute was then entertained with an in strumental duet by Mise.sLou. Willits and Nettie Wagner. Prof. Royal was introduced, and presented a lecture up on "Ashland's Rock and Rills." He opened his subject by stating that there arc truths to be found outside of books. A great change has been wrought, pre vious to which "Sentimental Love of Nature" was abhorred. Homer sings of war and carnage, but God's book, Nature, receives no praise frtm his pen. The ancients supposed as thingn are, so have they always been; but Ioe of nature and her study is being awakened in latter days. Changes have left masks, which he, who studies, may read. The principal agents were Fire, Water and Ice. Ho gave a geological description of the formation of our mountains and galley. The western hills were formed by the agent Fire, in azoie ages. The hills on the east represent an age when a great glacier was moving along tho eastern coast covering Canada and New Eng land States with a mass of ice 500 feet thick. On this coast the glacier was divided into two parts; one east of the Cascade range, moved east, and the other west; the land then settled sev eral hundreds of feet, the temperature becamo warmer and the glacier melted. Geologists have studied our valley very little; therefore a broad field is be fore us for investigation. The Prof, then gave a very interesting descrip tion of a friend and certain companion of tKerglacierthTn,waTer:,Guzei;"'sliowi ing the many things to be learned about a little bird. Ho urged the teachers to take their pupils to the fields, the mountains and brooks, to teach them of rocks, biids, flowers and even tadpoles. Take a book as a guide for the teacher, but give the student the living, moving and growing speci men. Institute closed with song. .second Day. Institute called to order at 9:30 by Prof. Powell. Song, "Psalm of Life," by Institute; prayer by Rev. M. O. Miller. On, roll call several teachers failed to respond to their names. Prof. Royal then then introduced tho subject, of "Drawing in our Public Schools." He thinks the day not far distant when every teacher in the pub lic schools of Oregon will be required to pass an examination in drawing. Drowing is not picture-making, not play, but work; statistics show that any sane, physically strong person can learn to draw; not become artists, but learn the principles. Music, "Old Oak Tree." The subject of "Reading, Qual ities of Voice," was introduced by Mr.s. Rogeis; Prof. Rogers followed, giving a diagram and illustration. Decimal fractions by G. A. Hubbell was next in order. He gave his metli ob of teaching, after which a few re marks w.ere made by others. Miss Maria Merriman being called away, Prof. Rogers presented the subject of "Gender, Number and Case," dwelling particularly upon Number. "How to Prevent Whispeiing" was discussed in a general way. All the teachers acknowledged huving trouble in this respect, but no solution to the problem was gien. Prof. Powell then gacsome pointed remarks in regard to teachers not attending Institute, which ought to have been heard by every absent teacher. Institute then adjourned to 1:30 p. jr. AFTEUNOOX SESSION. Institute was called to order at 2 V. jr. Song by Institute. Roll call showed several teachers still absent. L. U. Webster not being present to introduce the subject of History, Prof. Royal opened the discussion in a for cible and entertaining manner. Pro fessors Powell and Rogers followed with ell-timed remarks. J. Q. Wil lits illustrated his method upon the board. J. D. Fountain emphasized somo ideas that had been casual ly mentioned. "Common School Branches" by W. A. Wilshiro was in troduced iu an interesting manner. Remarks were made by others, J. Q. Willits then favored the audience with a solo. Next in order w ns ten com prehensive questions in Geography, by Prof. Rogers. His method is to give ten questions concerning each country, among which are, direction and loca tion, area, population, chief cities, &o Prof. Powell gave a similar method. Institute adjourned to evening. EVENING SESSION. Institute opened with a double quar tette, at 8:30 P. Jr., and then listened to a recitation by Miss Maggie Howell; subject, "Oregon Scenery." Prof. Ij. J. Powell spoke for more than an hour to an attentive audience. The following are a few of his ideas: "Before the invention of steamboats, harvesting and labor saving machines, many men living in high places were opposed to common schools, and even now wo have them. Superintendents have a hard battle to fight to secure laws that are to the best interests of our public schools, but will succeed iu time. From his observations teachers are doing better work than formerly and takins more interest. If educa tion is not a good thing, let us do away with it; but if it is a benefit let us have six or eight months of school in each district, instead of three. Train the head to assist the hands, not educate boys and girls above work. In con clusion, we want to give to the bone and sinew of our laud the benefit of an education for their children. The teachers have a great work committed to their care and yield a power and in fluence that is felt in the land. Are men who frequent saloons tho men for our children to follow? Let us en courage our teachers, but demand of' them good moral examples." After solo, "Trip to Niagara" by Prof. Rogers, by request, Miss PenHe baker favored the Institute with a solo. Prof. Powell in his usual pleas ant manner took up a collection of $13.30. Institute adjourned. Third Uuy. . Ir.stitutocaUedto order byPresii dent at 9:45. Song by Instituto and prayer by Prof. Rogers. At roll call several teachers were absent. On mo tion a committee on resolutions was appointed, consisting of Prof. Royal, N. II. Clayton, E. E. Goor, Misses Nsttie Wagner and Delia Pennebaker. W. II. Parker was not present, and the subject of Penmanship was omitted. Teachers' Wages by Chas. Prim was also omitted, jecauso of his absence. Superintendent J. D. Fountain then spoke on "TheScnool Laws of Oregon." He thought the apportionments of money for school purposes are too near together and should be changed. It is his opinion that the superintendent should employ the teachers; they know what remuneration the teacher should receive better than the directors; what teachers arc suitable for each district. In regard to voting, the law as it is has caused considerable trouble, and should be simplified so as to be understood the same by all. Prof. Powell gava some ot Ins ideas xm the subiect, and good advico to teachers, after which came a song by Institute and then a few moments intermission. On being called to order, the sub ject of Mental Arithmetic was intro duced by J. N. Hall, who gave his methods and success in following them. On motion the Institute was unani mously in favor of a general introduc tion of Mental Arithmetic into all of schools. A motion was then made to adjourn this Institute after the after noon session. Adjourned to 1:30 p. jr. AITEUX00N SESSION. Called to order at 1:15 and Pio fessor Towell drilled the audience for half an hour on consonant sounds. Y. II. Leeds then gavo some interesting ideas on Rhetorical Exercises. After, a song, the subject of Physiology and Hygenc in public ichools was present ed by Prof. Royal in a plain and fore ib'e manner. Reading, Variety of Styles, a dia agram of which was placed on the board by Mrs. Rogers and explained by Prof. Rogers. Report of Committee on Resolutions was then lead, and on motion adopted by the Institute. The names of J. D. Fountain and Prof. L. J. Powell were withdrawn from resolutions, on mo tion. The Instituto was ihen" favored with a solo, '-The Trundle Bed." Prof. Powell gavo some very appro priate closing remarks, after which the Institute adjourned sine die, by singing "Sweet Bye-and-bye." Ciias. II. Hill, Sec. The following resolution was adopted by the Institute: Resolved, That the thanks of the In stitute be tendered the citizens of Ash land for so cprdially receiving ard en tertaining the teachers attending the Institute; to tho authorities of Ashland College for the use of the Chapel in which the Institute has been held; to J. Q. Willits and tho musicians who have assisted in providing the music that has so enlivened each session; to Professors L. L. Rogers and LaDru Royal for the assistance so cheerfully rendered; and to tho editors of tho county newspapers for their help and notices given. N. H. Clayton, t? v r,.r. I nt. -t wt . eora. 1U1 ULlilb ) AU.LU, I Miss DellaPenebakeu,,) This suggestion is from the Scien tific American, and strikes us as sensi ble anil useful for getting rid of stumps: "In the autumn or early winter boro a hole one or two inches' in diameter, according to the girth of the stump, and about two inches deep, put into it one or two ounces of saltpeter, Gil tho hole with water and plug it close. In the ensuing spring pour in about a gill of kerosene oil and ignite it. Tho stump will smoulder away, without blazing, to tho very extremity of tho roots, leaving nothing but the ashes." At the marriage of Whitelaw Reid to the daughter of D. O. Mills tho bride received as a dowery, 55,000,000 from her father. V r ki.h - i-,
