REPORT ON TEACHERS INSTITUTES,
DISTRICT AND COUNTY.

1t VIII not be my object IN the few thoughts
which | am about 10 present, to seek out the or
igin. of Institutes, and trace them up through
the different periods of their growth to the pres
ent time but to speak of them as an establish.
ed institution-as an essential element in our
common school system.
AS to the past results of Institutes, there is
no question. Although impcrfecty organized,
with want Of system and method in the man
ner of conducting them, the results are greater
than from any other single educational agency;
first suggesting if they did not actually effect a
complete change in our methods of teaching and
school management.
DrsrRIcT INSTITUTES. Since the passage of
the law making it obligatory for teachers to de-
vote two days of each month to exercises for
their own Improvement, District Institutes have
been established on permanent basis; for al
though this portion Of the law has been in op-
Grafton fer but comparatively short time, the
hopes of its friends are being realized. True,
Ne are having some failures. The teachers of
certain DISTRICTS from a lack of knowledge or
inclination, fail to compensate themselves or
their schools for the time thus spent; but as In
stitutes become general, they become more pop
ular and effective.
Institutes are now organized in almost every
district in the State, thus bringing all classes OF
teachers within their influence. AS these be-
come more effective in their operation their in
fluence ext tends beyond the teachers and the
schools 70 the county organization-making it
more practical and interesting; both agencies
also exerting powerful influence on commune
ties, by means of the clearer views disseminated
upon the Importance, means and ends of edu-
cation, and the Importance of employing none
but well qualified teachers.
In order that there may be no failures in car
rying out the law in regard to Institutes it is
necessary that there be permanent orga MIA
ton of the teachers in the different distr lets
LIE: there be definite plan of operation, with
clear conceptions of the objects and ends in
view. and a settled purpose to accomplish these
ends, even though difficulties do present them
selves.
The principal exercises o. the Institute should
be drills in the different branches OF the COM
mon school course and discussions Or the theo-
ryof teaching =,
The manner Of conducting these drills will
| suggest itself to the intelligent teacher, from
reading articles upon the subject in our educa-
tional periodicals, and be somewhat in proper
tion to a knowledge of the ability of the differ
ent members of the class. The exercises should
not be merely adapted to the present stock of
knowledge possessed by the different teachers
but. by assigning subjects for succeeding meet
! ings end requiring careful preparation in order

wish was an Editor,
really do indeed;
Ii seems to me that Editors
Get everything they need.
They get the biggest and the best
OF everything that grows,
And get in free to circusses,
And other kinds of shows
When a mammoth cheese is cut,
They always get slice,
For saying Mrs. Smith knows how
To make it very nice
The largest pumpkin, the longest beet,
And other garden stuff;
Is blown into the sanctum by
An editorial puff;
The biggest bug will speak to them,
No matter how they dress,
4 shabby coat is nothing if
You own printing press;
At Ladies' Fairs they are almost hugged
By pretty girls who know
That they will crack up everything
The ladies' have to show;
And thus they get blow out free
Atsevery party feed,
The reason is because they write,
And other people read

Fork OvER.-Seward recently asserted
that ''cvery man in the Northern States is
richer in consequence of the war;" His
circle of acquaintances is probably confined
to army contractors and highly paid official.
We wish he were obliged to make his word
substantially good with every man in North
ern States. He would then be compelled
to fork over few hundred dollars defect
to us.-Penn YQn Democrat.

city in this State, lived a stalwart blacksmith
fond Of his pipe and joke. He was also fond Of
