ROSEBURG. - ' OREGON Teachers, Institute. .i FVLL riiOCEEMXGS OF THIS .V- sTiit'TE of nova If C WITTY TEACHERS ASSEMBLED. Literature is the immortality of speech. 4 fWiLLMOT. On Wednesday evening tltc South bound train came in literacy loaded with teachers, among whom were State Supt. McElroy, of Salem. Tlio Junior Band met them at the depot land .dis pensed eome of their excelle4t music. The Institute convened at the Court House at 7:30 o'clock. The house was crowded to overflowiDj.. 1 Af t r music by the Junior Band, Hon. L. F. Lane delivered thjs address of welcome. This literary jsentleman is a graduate of Yale and commanded the closest attention of his! hearers. "With pleasure, yet with diffidence I approach the performance of this duty I have assumed to perform. Teachers, it is your high province to be one of tho first guides of the mind to watch it as does the parent bird its young, until it takes wing and flight into space and where, known 'only to its entity and the origin of its existence. Is it not worthy of remark that the grandest achievements of the human mind have been since and beneath the light, the shades, and shadows of the cross, aud in the name of Him who knew of ituortality of the birtjh-hood of mind and said of its custodiajns suffer them to come unto Me for of such is tho kingdom of heaven. wth such a teacher as your guide your higher examplar I repeat your voch'.ion i3 of exalted character. Under alj circum stances you should be greeted with words of welcome and encouragement. Trusting that your meeting alt this time may ue under nappy ausmcea, mat v 1 1 1 your deliberations may be lioth pleas urablc and profitable, I but echo the sentiments of the friends of education and enlightenment in Roseburg when I extend to you a cordial, and hearty welcome to our city." "The Royal March" an instrumental duet was rendered by Mrs. Jj. C. Ful- lerton at the piano and J. iit Horner with the flute. i J Prof. R. A. Booth, of the Drain Echo, delivered the response. "The remarks of our honorable iriend are not calculated to lighten the weighty responsibility that every true teacher feels. The great work of mind train- g and the duties necessarily con nected therewith are npon us; the charge has been committed to our care; the eyes of the little ones are watching us and the minds' that may grow to wonders and becomo as giants are left as clay in our hands." While it is true the human mind" requires an education, it is also jtrue" that much of it is gained bf example as well as precept This lis partic ularly true of character and habit I therefore assert that noi only the teachers are responsible for the char acters daily forming, but evetry individ- ual owes to society and u inanity a pure and elevated example that will lead them to a higher life No one can live to himself. He must either be a light to illuminate or a tempest to destrov. A work for. all is placed not cease before them and they dare t) toil All labor has its reward. PUER NO. 49. To-night, we are gathering Btuighine sufficient for many a dark day. The friendly hand-shake, tho kind words and the cordial welcome extended to us this evening cannot ba mistaken. w 1. . imhu o ovitau KJL L alt LUUl , but we have soon to repay. Our hearts are gladdened by your hearty welcome and our very souls respond with thanks. The quartette, "It will be summer y and by," r was then' sung by Mrs. S, O. Flint, J; C. Fullerton, and M. F, Rapp and Messrs. S. 0. Flint, and F. M. Rapp. State Supt E. B. McElroy, Ph. D., then addressed the audience on "Ed ucation-ii s RelatiGM and Results. We present below a synopsis ol the act dress.. . . ........ , Civil society exists for the produc tion, preservation and distribution of material resources. Property is the great instrumentality invented by the umau mind to elevate itself above im mediate brute instinct and necessity. Property thus becomes a necessary condition for subsequent intellectual growth. Education has a direct and definite relation to civil' society in this ts nrst and elementary aspect, of pro- viaiug ior tho creationand presentatior .;. . .. .. - t property. It increases in a direct manner the productivity of thecommu nity. Statistics show that all the various trades and occupations of men in the United States are directly and beneficially affected by education. It is the verdict of the civilized world announced in the most unmistakable terms that the country must see to it that ceneral and snecial 1 must be fostered if it would thrive in the accumulation of wealth. Each civil community demands poniilar ed- ucation in another aspect that of the preserver of the property through the P 'reservation of the social organism. In is demand bases itself on the necessity of morality in the community. The very existence of society looks to the maintenance of the preservation of morality by means " of the proper education or the young. Industry. punctuality, regularity, respect for the rights of others, and obedience to es tablished authority these are the cardinal virtues of the school -room and the foundation of its order. Dis cipline ought to be made emphatic in our school work for the reason that in our society and government we aim to place as few safe-guards as possible around the individual from without and therefore our system of education must make. the character 6trone and self determined from within. Asain intelligence is the first element of pros perity: it builds our railroads, factories and erects the wires of tho telgraph and telephone; it enables the farmer to double his crops; it invents labor- saving machinery; it yields us that sat isfaction which prosperity may heighten but which adversity can never take away. It enables us to under stand and interpret the purposes and designs of God and approximate more nearly to his character. Again, that course of instruction is best that gives the broadest foundation of fact; that arranges the facts in such order that laws and principles are easily Been and apprehended; that leads the mind to independent thought and investigation; that from the basis of thn urtnol raises it to the piano of the ideal; and that, beginning with accumulating knowledge shall end with the acquired power of thinking thinkinsr to defi nite results in short, genuine mental developeraent - Education has other important ob jects. Certain kinds of intelligence are needed and imperatively demanded to minister our phsyical wants, to pro long our existence, to fit us for our duties as citizens, and to enable us to discharge our obligations to society generally. We must know how to ob tain food and clothine; we must under stand physical laws and the limitations of our physical possibilities; we must be able to distinguish between that which is beneficial and that which is hurtful to us; we must learn to know and appreciate the good, the beautiful and the true in all relations of life and we ought to be so intelligent In reference to conduct in life that our er- ery act will conduce to human hap piness. This is practical intelligence and it embraces all branches which treat of the materials,and forces most famil iar to our senses . Without this intel- licence, combined with resolute pur pose, the richest power of mind are useless. ' . - THURSDAY ItORXIXO. Education is the chief defense of nations. (Bv ana. The morning was beautiful and the attendance at the Institute was large. The exercises opened with remarks by Hon. E. B. McElroy. Then Supt. Benson appointed the following list of officers: Recording Secretary J. B. Horner; Enrolling Secretary, Misses ROSEDur.U .REVIEW. y INVGLAS CpTJNlY, CAKDS,'a.L KEilSi LEC ' L I - .

B. Homer sprung the question of the legality of attending institutes, to which the State Supt replied that County Supts. are authorized by the State Board of education to lower the grade of the certificate of the applicant who fails to attend the county insti tute. 1 Rev. J. R. N. Bell then said schools often receive injury from the fact that teachers too often underrate the work of their predecessors. The State Supt then said the teacher sometimes criticises his predecessor. a - w then criticises the textbook, then the pupil thinks the teacher knows noth-. ing then the parent criticises the teach er and the fifth step is taken, by the teacher who goes out of the school. Mr. H. C. Smith, formerly a teacher of Coos Bay, introduced "Improved methods of teaching history." After the speaker gave an interesting ao counts of historic facts that pleased the audiance, he said that the demand of the world now is a better in eyery- r thing. When we assert that better schools are wanted, it is no ieflecbion upon the schools of the past We are growing. We must keep up in the march of human progress. "Miss Alice Mosher read a paper upon Primary pupils." The first teacher of a child should, by all means be its mother. Often the little child is sent to bchcol before it can talk plainly. Charts should be introduced. Since a child will mark everything that comes in its way, as Boon aB it gets a pencil, this impulse should be turned in the proper way that of drawing. Little chil dren should be taught to sing. Every thing taught in the primary depart ment should be taught thoroughly for there is the foundation laid for the child's entire future. Prof. Mark F. Jones then, by re quest rendered the beautiful solo, "Navy Blue Polka" on the organ. Prof. J. R. Kendall introduced "Oral teaching." I have no spelling book in school. It does sot pay a man to run a mule to death to catch a rabbit A sentence is a comosition of one line. I introduce the subject of grammar In my third reader class. Teach the class that a noun is a name not a sub stance. Then remind them of modi tiers such as good, bad and so on, and thus introduce adjectives. Some days when the work is crowded this ex ercise is omitted from the regular read ing lesson. But great attention is at all times paid to capitals and orthogra phy. If the child speaks incorrectly, the incorrect expressions will crop out " in after life. Practice makes the child stronger and more accurate. One word is an anomaly as much as a ; bar. rel of flour would be without the uni verse. Better carefully study tho words and their uses. The county Superintendent theft appointed the following committees on introduction J. B. Horner, R. A. Booth, Misses Winnif red Mosher, Luf Hay and Annie Kent After a'short recess, the discussion of corporal punishment was introduced by J, B. Horner. Prof. Kendall pre fers that a child should be compelled even by the rod than bought with can dy. A smart pain will bring on a re-action that often does a child good, and will make it better. Rey. J. R. N. Bell said there is a tendency in our schools to govern them by a sickly sentimentality. If a child has an evil 1 nature, take that nature out of him. The only real American liberty is a strict adherence to law. At this point of the discussion it became cleaily evi. dent that iron would rasp iron. Prof. II. L, Benson:- The punish ment for larceny is not the punish ment for forgerv, and there is no pun ishment for murder ether than hang ing. The rod is not used as much as it was fifty years ago, 1 aud yet tbo children are better. Prof. Kendall said if New. Jersey has a whipping post for big folks we must not dispense with the rod for the little folks. Continued on page j1' '1 hi (
