The meetings of the American Institute are
very fully attended here, the large hall being
completely filled yesterday afternoon and eve
ming. The exercises promise to be unusually
interesting. Hon. Arson Smyth of Ohio was
the lecturer last evening, and made most ill.,
teresting address in defense Of Christian Edu-
cation in Public Schools, answering some of
the absurd objections which are sometimes
heard against universal education in free
schools Prof. Wood OF Albany and friends
enliven the meetings with patriotic glees; DR..
Lewis of Boston is here to make the teachers
''laugh and grow fat, for a short time, at the
Trash dexterity" displayed in attempting to
perform some of the gymnastic teats recon-
mended by him. Everybody is apparently
happy here, and a good meeting of the Insti-
tute is to be one of the bright spots in the
memory of many teacher, as he or she shall
engage in the daily duties for the coming
year.
This forenoon, there was very interesting
and somewhat spicy discussion ON the quail
ications of primary school teachers, in which
Mr.. Northend Of Connecticut, Sherwin, Weth-
Grill, Ansorge, Philbrick, and Dir. Lewis of
Boston, participated. The principal ground
for disagreement was the claim of DIR. Lewis
that the first qualification of primary school
teacher is knowledge Of the nature of the
human body, and familiarity with the best
means of developing it by gymnastic exer.
cises Mr. Pnilbrick took exceptions to this
