JUDICIAL DISTUIOT.
Reported by "Prof. J. C. Horner.
Promptly at ten o.clock a. H lat
Tuesday, Aug. 24, tha Teachers' insti
tute of the First Judicial District as
sembled at Ashland College, was
called to order by Stale Supt.'E. B.
1 JIcElroy, prtsiilent. ex cfiicio.- Thih
judioitl district was well represented
and there were soveral college iro
fessori and principals nf public schools
from abroid. Mr. Prtast, the ener
gelic superintendent of this county,
aafisted by tha many friends of educa
tion in this vicinity and elsewlinre, ar
ranged an excellent programme and
secured uncumtnonly fine hospitalities
for the teachers from outside of Ash
land. The citizens of this city deterve
great credit for tha interest mani
fested in tho cause of education. With
6ucb a support the institute at once
took up the regal&r work without
that cold formality usually expsr
ienosd on such occasions.
State Sept. ilcElroy then lectured
on the "Object of tL Imtitnta." Af
ter his lectors the following officers
were appoiuted: Certificate sccietary,
J. S. Sweet; recoiding secretaries,
Misses Hattie Newb.'rry and Eugenia
Farubam; reporting secretaries, U. II.
Watt for tho "Tunes", Win. Priest
for the Sentinel and J. B. Horner
for the "Tidings" and "Oregonian."
Prof. J. S. Sweet of tha Ashland
public schools lectured on 'Muic in
(he public schools." Ho favors taking
hs work from the begiuning and mat
tering it as the class progresses. Does
not favor the una of the organ in school

work It tiono in concert, for tho reason
that enough time can not be allowed
this pait of school work. Thinks any

This is one of the fow institutes thst

an excellent move,
Sapt. D. V. S. Reid, of Albany, in
troduced the topic, "Spelling." Many
arenotavarn that the author of the
Complste Speller intended that pri
mary pupils thould study onlr the first
two or thras columns of mauv of the
note diCIcolt lessen. Words mis
tpsllod ia oldtr editions. The study
of TCebstar's dictionary Is essential
and a knowledge) of the diacritical
marks is indispensiblo to the thorough
student. Teachers cannot leach the
oral clemantH in written spelling.
Favors muih oral epelling such as
practiced in tho good old days of our
fathers. The speaker neer saw a
pupil who could spell a word correctly
and could not write it as it should be
written. He thinks that the time
ill come when teachers will require
all spelling done orally.
Prof. Sweet beliuvus that the pupil
should thoroughly understand every
principle upon which a rule is baaed
before thr child commits the rule.
Prof H. L. Bensoc, of Grant's Pass,
favors much written spelling in school.
The correct placo for the study of ar
ticulation, rocalization, etc, is in thi
reading class.
Prof. Justus Burnham thinks that
when on has learned to correctly spell
orally he will, when challenged, spell
correctly; but that ia not the right
thing. Writing is automatic and
when we write best we do not per
ceptiblj spell the woids as we proceed.
Often when in doubt about the orthog
rapby of a word one will appeal to the
eye by writing the word in foil. The
test test of orthography ia in oompoai
tion. Supt. Raid: People can spell as
well with their eyes shut aa they can
with them open, for instance blind
persons; therefore the eye is not the
test in spelling.
. Prof. B. J. Hawthorne, of the State
University: Anciently people learned
spelling by the tar. The columns in
the Look wero net little, sugar -coated
diminutive thisgs but they wero com '

Prof. B. J. Hawthorne, nf the Sta'e

Prof. J. B. Horn-r, of I?oeburj,
read a paper upon the "Pablic School

" WEDNESDAY ilORNISO.
Tha exercises of the Institute began
with an excellent drill in music by
Prof. Sweet. Here it may be noted
that the Institute has made a recent
step in tho adranct toward normal
work. The Prof, did touch cIsm work
duriBg his lectures on musio.
Prof. G II. Watt iheu centiooed
his lecture on School Econemy. The
Prof, beiieves that tin greatest good to
tho largest numebr will allow a cloee
classification in town school'; believes
that tho deportment of tho teacher
should he iHgcificd in character. In
referesca to heating pupils, would seta
the hoys and girU separately. Pupils
will advance wuch more rapidly if thty
urn required to study and recite at
regular limes. It is uuticcable that
the teachers are all provided with ma
larial and are taking notes of all the
excercise
Mtss Maggie Sergent: The6rstday
is the most important one of the entire
term.
Miss Hnttie Newberry, of Jackson
ville, becomes aqaaintnd with the pu
pils at (lie earlteii po-sitde date.
Pruf. M G. Royal believes that tho
first ten minutes of a school dstermins
the weal or woe of that pchool.
Supt.McEtroy then said tho pupils
will in tun minutes read their teacher
like a book. The schools are natural
Iv going into th hands of the ladie.
How are thfey 10 tieat overgrown and

Prof-Sweet treats them kindly, thus
wins them. Country schools can and
should be graded.
Miss Maggie Sergont think it is not
visible to usk the pupils' opinion of the
school.
Prof. Scott Merris, of Mexdnwe, has
often in the past became aquainted with
the parantsinadistriot before beginning
his work there.
Supt. McElroy bnlioves it is often pos
siblo for a tencher t o obtiin valuable in
fertaatio" from bis predecessor and
from the clerk of the district.
Prof. Scot Morris ed vises the teach
er to talk not only with the parnnts,
but a'go with tho relatives and other
friends of tha school in tho community.
Were the teaching for nothing he.
would borrow tlm money to pay for his
board in preference to boarding around.
After reciss suituble music was rend
ered by the orchestra,
Prof Justus Burnham lectured on
Geography. Tho child makes its way
10 the bchool He soons learns local
ity and the cardinal points of the com
pass. Pn.f. Burnham regards a curve
aia It ti3 formed of innumerable lines
in drjf ing maps he reco'ri mends that
fur school purposes the teacher should
use straight lines broken at different
degrees of latitude. He exhibited
soma very creditable work done by ihe
primary pupils of Couch School of
Portland.
WtniHESDAT AFTEKXOON
Prof. Burnham when called out
again refered 10 some maps in the
roora that wera drafted by his advanc
ed grades so exact that diplomas were
awarded to the draftsmen by tha Inter"
national Exposition at New Orleans.
Prof. M. G. Eoyal favors map draw
:ng in all publio scnoolt. Children
arts neycr too yonug to learn map draw
ing He then discussed tha subject 0!
RtcitRtioo. The main objrctB of suc
cessful instructions are habits of
study, acquisition of correct language,
to aid the memory, clasification of
deas, and analysis which will
rualeria'ly assist the reasoning facul
ties. Tho class should possess a clear
idea of la reiiUtien under consider
ation; bat the teacher should thorough
ly onderstand tee study thecl&ii ia
pursuing. The teasbar thun will im
bibe tha spirit of (ha author
from the introduction to the
the "Finale." AH light from ooide
of the the text book will in that much
assist both teacher and class. The
mastery of the text book is all that
shaud'b required of the class. Teach
ers should do the outside reading
for the elate. Questions should not he
"ves and no" questions. The teacher
should be a model in language. Avoid
leautng questions, .encourage ans
wers in the form of sentences. Better
memorize the answers as given, in the
book. Everj 1e."-son should be earef ally
outlined. Drill the data often. It is
drill that make a perfect soldier.
Don't lecture, preach, icold, talk, try
to ba funay, let any pass without ruci
trttion, forget to encourage all and
repeat the answer of the stndent, Bs
enthusiastic, thorough, patient, exact
and candid. A live minute drill is
worth moneys a Sftsen rainuto drill it a

Supt. D. V. S. Reid said our text
books are- sot pti feet, end the wide
awake teacher will look 'ahead and
point out the difficult points in the
next lessen to (he pupil.
Prof. Sweet allows ihe class to talk
tha first few minutes of the recitation;
then drills the class.
Prof. Royal then with the UBnisUnce
cf Mies Lulu Day, Mattie lUx-tel
and Mary Liuretie and Mr. Flank
Howell illustrated how -a assign
topics to a class by chanoe.
After recess Institute was called to
order and Prof. Burnham introduced
the subject of "Lessons in Numbsrs."
He would begin to teach numbers
uat as soon as the pupil begins to read
believes that the teacher should be
supplied with objects, to aid in teach

than tha pupil and that teacher should'
be ver? careful to eeu that pupil com

After soma interesting remarks
made by the Hon. E. L. Applegate
the Institute adjourned Chit the num
bers might accept an opportunity ol
visiting Mr. W C Mer'Bfarui near
tfau city. The teachers were de
lighted with tho appearance of alt the
fine stock. Some spent their time
looking through the bovine depart
ment, while others were most intrr
estrd in the general appearance nf the
horses. Some of the ladies cigaified
iv as their intention to secure some of
the Shetland ponies. The Percheron
and Arabian steeds seemed proud wf
themssivea and pranced about wiih a
grace tha as soma one described it
was rich, racy and rare. Some f tho
older professors found Mr. Myer's
watermelon patch' others found his
blackberries, while others meely
passed on. To say the least, Mr.

The Institute was called 10 order by
Supf. Priest.
The exercises of the evening ere
opened with the beau'iful solo, "The
Grand Old Ocean," sung by Mr. B. R.
Willit who has a melodious voice.
State Supt. McElroy (hen lectured
on tha "Promotion if Good Literature
in our Public Schools." Teachors
should cultivate in the minds of the
pupils a taste for the most wholesome
literature. Children ibou lean
more at school than now to rend, but
also what 'to read. The.iaier em
phatically condemned the buying and
reading of worthless literatqrtr. He
also Gred f rte'y at gam chtwers. Chit
dren 'will read; and it is ORly left to
the teachers and parents to proporly
direct the conrsa of reading. Ask chil
dron questions about what they rad
One who fails to teach reading well is
necessarily a poor teachor. The eliild if
left to himse.lf is ia great danger of tak
ing up a vagabond or a Peek's bad boy'
as bi3 ideal hero; and many become like
him. Bad books make bad boyf.
These misled boyish readers wo liable
to put a prize upon black mailing. Tie
remedy for this condition of affaire is
for the parents and schools '0 establish
libraries for the children. Parents
should read with their children. Let
the child feel that he is the sole owner
of ten or more good books. Public I
brarifS cannot reach the children.
Each school district in Oregon should
