TEACHERS' irssTITlTE.
IIillsboro, March 3, 1888
The local teachers institute convened
in the schoolhouse this morning at 0:30.
T. T. Vincent, county superintendent
called the meeting to order, and the ex
ercises of the dav commenced with a
song, "Hark ! I Hear an Angel Sing!"
by pupils of Miss Howard's department
of the Hillsboro school.
The first topic on the programme
"Are Teachers' Meetings Beneficial?"
was introduced by Mr. Vincent, who
said these meetings have a tendency to
awaken a desire for knowledge on the
part of the teacher, because "knowledge
is power." Also, inspires enthusiasm, a
wish to excel have a tendency to make
teaching a profession and secures uni
formity of instruction in our common
schools.
le. E. Wilkes thought teachers' meet- I
ings were beneficial if teachers would
take part in the discussion; but said
some would not have attended this one
if they could have gotten their certifi
cates without doing so.
Mr. Lafferty said teachers ought to be
compelled to attend; and then have two
or three competent instructors organize
institute into classes, and have regular
recitations in order to show how classes
were to le conducted in the schoolroom.
Miss Howard claimed that some of
the older teachers w ho have been follow
ing obsolete methods would Ix-come
ashamed of their ideas and would adopt
newer and more advanced methods from
younger teachers.
Miss Welch believed teachers' meet
ings beneficial. becaue thev
a Horded
teachers opportunity for an cxclmuge of
ideas.
Prof. Hawes said: Education is based
on the science of the mind, and favored j
teachers' meetings, but condemned many j
so-called Educational Journals. Iteeausc ;
they were edited like Mark Twain's Ag
ricultural Journal, by n:en who buked
practical experience. He named Pape,
Seimtt, Morrison and other authors on
teaching that were of an Fiigh order of
j excellence and merit.
".Mental Arithmetic was presented
by J. Wells in an essay of a humorous
nature; he attacked Prof. Hawes f(r his
position at Forest Grove on mental arith
metic; also, gave several methods of
j te,u',mlS ' ar pointed out certain ex-
l lOMi'im in ne avoiueu in the solution.
Prof. Hawes said his position on the
mental arithmetic question was this
that it should be taught in connection
with written arithmetic, without a sepa
rate (took. This view was concurred in
by LatTerty, Vincent, Crocker. Graham I
and otheis. !
Recitation, by Johnny Willis, "Only'
Excess is Sin." j

was introduced br Mis.. wu I. r

Reaverton. She said tho teat her must
possess good maimers and be of irrc-
proachable morals, and that all slang
phrases should be avoided.
Miss Howard said she considered the
question as involving principles of
broad nature that she exacted courtesy
of her pupils and treated them in the
same manner. The minor incidents of
life required as much attention as the
greater ones.
Miss Tucker Mieved the actions of
the teacher, his methods and ideas all
had an influence on the manners and
morals of his pupils. The discussion
was continued by Mrs. Cornelius, Misses
Prosser, Alumbaugh, Millar, Parrish,
Morse and Brown; also, by quite a num
ber of the gentlemen present.
School Charts Mr. Hay worth of New
berg. agent for D. Appletou's sc hool
charts, explained the manner of usiug
them and proved quite conclusively that
they can be made of ue in the school
room, an3 that the first reader can be
dispensed with in schvol.
State exercises are taught in connec
tion with the charts, including writing
and mechanical drawing.

".School Government" Mr. Hoopcn

set forth the general principles neces
sary to govern a school successfully.
mentioning firmness, impartiality, and ;
torce, ii necessary.
Dr. Gilkey did not believe force ever
necessary; favored kindness, patience
and persuasion . i
Mr. Lafferty said but few rules, if any. I
were necessary, and favored administer-
ing punishment on the spot
violation of order, etc.
for
open
Miss Howard favored firmness and i
decision in school government and Ite
lieved it best to defer punishment till a
short time after insubordination in order
te act calmly.
Mrs. Cornelius asked the question,
"What would a lady teacher do w ith a
large, rude pupil 12 or 13 years of age
who refused to obey her, if her strength
f was not equal to the task of corporal
punishment T' Miss Howard gaid her
trength had always been equal to the
task- Superintendent Vincent said:
According to the school aw, sh had
the right to suspend and call in the
directors.
Recitation by Frank Stewart.
Essay by Miss Howard subject. Lan
guage Lessons and Technical Grammar.
The methods of teaching In-ginners
was pointed out and valable instruction
given for teaching more advanced classes.
Music song by the little folks.
'Of what does a common school edu
cation consist f Mr. Crocker introduced
this subject in a well written essay,
mentioning a thorough knowledge of
reading, arithmetic, grammar, geogra
phy, natural philosophy, etc., as neces
sary for a common school education.
"Teachers' Work," introduced by
Supt. Vincent, who said: To assign
lessons, hear recitations, watch the act
ions of pupils, correct bad habits and to
remember that immortal minds
were
committed to the teacher's
care, was
part of bis work. The discussion was
continued by several of the teachers.
"Is Brooks' Written Arithmetic "too
difficult for our common achoolsr was
answered by Hawes in the negative, say
ing it was one of the best book on the
subject extant, if it were rid of a little
of the rubbish contained in it and a lit
tic more practical work added; alto, add
more to the primary look aud dispense
with the intermediate book, we would
have an excellent scries.
"How teach reading!" Vincent said a
teacher must know bow to read before
he could teach reading successfully, and
that reading was not a success as taught
in our schools. 1st, the teacher must
have knowledge of the principles of
elocution and then practice much to be
ble to read well. 2d, in teaching pay
attention to articulation natural tones
and the cultivation of the voice.
Miss Howard favored speaking dis
tinct and clear, with head held erect.
I book in left hand, and voice well modu
"Whispering or No WhisperingP A
general discussion occured on this sub
ject.in which Miss Welch, Mrs. Corueliue,
Miss Howard,Wilks, Lafferty and Pe'th
man took part, some favoring absolute
ly no whispering, while others favored
a medium course bef.ween no whispering
and whispering at pleasure.
Mr. Latl'erty then explained tie law of
signs involved in arithmetical expres
sions; ho ing that numbers connected
by the sign of multiplication have the
closest relation and numlers connected
by it are to Ise multiplied first; the sign
of division the next closest relation, etc.

in different individuals to some extent.
A Bilious man is set loin a breakfast
eater. Too frequently, alas, h,. his an
excellent spjx-tite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear injHi tion ut any time; if it
is not white and furred, it is rough, at
all events.
The digestive syt em is w holly out ol"
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
lie a symptom or the two may alternate .
There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or flatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.
To correct all this if not effect -a cure try
Greco's August Flower, it costs but a
trifle, aod thousands attest its efficacy.

this purpose and for support of the

The cows most desirable for this in

give an abundant yield of fairly good

of solid matter to mark a ecific gravity
of 1.0:10 on the scale of the lactometer.
It will not pay In this business to rear
calves, or to have dry cows feeding three
months without profit. A constant sue
c ession of fresh cows must be kept up by
pure base, and the failing cows must be
distosed of to the butchers It would I
metre profitable to give them away than
to keep them to leer calves. Hence
costly bred cows cannot be kept, unless
a profit can be m ide of the calves siiffl

the cows through their dry time. The
cows most d curable for this business are
the half-bred Shorthorns, or grade IIo.

It Saved My Life"
Is a common expression, often heard
from those who have realized, by r
aonal use, the curative powers ot Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. I cannot say enough
in praise of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, Im-.
lievlng as I do that, but for its use, 1
should long since bave died from lung
troubles. E. liragdon, Palestine, Tex.
About six months ago I bail a severe
Hemorrhage of the Lungs, brought ou
by a distressing Cough, which deprived
tue of sleep and rest. I had used vari
ous cough balsams and expectorants,
without obtaining relief. A frieud uJ.
vised tue to try
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I did so, and am happy to say that it
helped me at once, hy continued tuo
this medicine cured my cough, and, I
in satisfied, saved toy life. Mrs. E.
Coburn, 18 Second St., Lowell, Mass.
I have used Ayer's Cherry pectoral
for over a year, and sincerely believe I
should have been in ray grave, had it
not la-en for this medicine. It has cured
uie of a dangerous affection of the lungs,
for which I bad almost despaired of ever
finding a remedy, D. A. McMullen,
Windsor, Province of Ontario,
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my life.
Two years ago t took a very severe !ld
which settled on my lungs. I consulted
physicians, and took the remedies they
prescribed, but failed to obtain relief
until I began using Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral. Two bottles of this medicine
completely restored my health. Lizzie
