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-night, we are gathering Btuighine
sufficient for many a dark day. The

and the cordial welcome extended to
us this evening cannot ba mistaken.

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.

Ways and meahs, lectures land 'talks,
questions and ' answers, diagrams and

general discussions, query r .box and
critics work, were mentioned. - ', i
J. 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.
