MEETING OF SCHOOL TEACHERs.-A meeting
OF the School Teachers Institute Of this Dis
uict, yesterday, was called by A. r. Brown,
chairman of the institute committee, for the
purpose Of hearing lecture from Professor
Henry I. Spencer on penmanship. There was
a very large number of the teachers present,
and after the election of Mr.. ]. Il. Thompson
as secretary, MIR. Brown said it was q source
ers present. He alluded particularly to the
physical training Of the scholars, mentioning
the defects which should be remedied. The
physical defects were more particularly no-
uceable among the girls, and the speaker hoped
that at the next meeting of the institute some
of the teachers would have essays upon the
subject. He alluded TO the fact that in England
more attention was paid to the physical devei.
ment Of children in the schools than in this
country. The speaker concluded by intro.
ducing Prof. Henry T. Spencer.
Mr.. Spencer said he did not intend to make a
lengthy address. but he wished to call the at
tention Of all to the branch of study which had
brought them together. 1t was remarked last
year that though there were many beautiful
q a vat horn ~
found a single poor one. A very important
matter in writing was to have good pens A
No. pen would give more satisfaction gener-
ally than any other. Good INK was also an es-
sential requisite. Whatever ink was used,
however, it must not be exposed, but always
remained covered when not using. After stat
portunity afforded, he proceeded to give prac-
tical illustrations upon the black board.
Mr.. A r. Brown then announced that
"School Discipline and Physical Education"
would be the subject for the next meeting of the
Institute, and the Committee would be happy
to hear from any OF the teachers upon the sub
ject.
Mr. ]. o. Wilson made a few remarks, m
which he stated that the Board of School Trus.
tees was unanimously resolved Laat penman-
ship should be thoroughly taught in all of the
schools OF the city. Abiding to the importance
OF teachers securing the benefits of the Spence
rian system of penmanshIp by attending classes
every Tuesday formed for the purpose, he con-
cluded. Adjourned.
