The Chair then appointed Miss Hattie
Simons, Miss Flsrs Hyde and Mr.. N. II.
Coleman critics for the day.
Mr.. A. s. Kisiell made some remarks,
urging promptness in the perfor ancss Of
allotted exercises, and harmony Of word
and action throug ghout the session.
Mr.. Raymond. Of Springfield, Ills, BY
request, took up the subjset Of Grammar.
and class was called. lie urged, Rrst,
the importance Of habit Of rigid atten4
tion to the exercise 10 recitation and, sec.
ond, correct habits Of eolitafy study. Then
gave his c!ass an exercise in authogrsphy
and classification.
Time was extended for further discuss
sion, which became very general, embrac-
ing principally ths powers Of letters as
representative Of sounds, and the period
at which text books should be placed in the
hands Of pupils. The prevailing view seem
ing to be that the correct use of language
should be taught BY sximp'e and criticism,
only until the pupil has sufficient cspaci,y
developed to comprehend the principles to
which the rules apply.
Recess put IN end to the discussion.
After recess. the subject Of History, a.
per programms. was introduced By Mrs.
K. Hacke, followed by discussion on moth
ods Of teaching.
Mr.. Bemis suggested The formation, BY
the pupils, Of "histericsl charts,s' and aug
gsstsd form. believing it would greatly
aid the memory Of dates, and the relations
Of nations and people with each ether, sue
cession Of events, &c. Mrs. Curry and
others made ssnsssenarks, generally ap
proving such. an szsrsiss. The Instituts
then adjourned till 1:30 p. NJ.
