| tons of this Institution begun yesterday. The
Chapel exercise, S.45 a. M, was conducted by
Rev. E. p. Thwing, after which the Teachers
Training class, examined in Arithmetic by Prof.
D. Fl. Cruttenden. The adaptation of his system
to develop the perceptive. inventive and SO the
retentive faculties was clearly illustrated. He
| next conducted an educational exercise in
Teaching. In this department Prof. G. insists
that ideas must precede words, a characteristic
OF his system which is fundamental His def
nitions struck us as pithy, as for instance, "a
student is one who has learned enough to de-
sire to learn more" His notions of school dis
ciplne indicate nothing of that softening of
the brain of which some educators are in peril.
A third hour was spent in language, classical
ton of verbs, ETC., and a concluding exercise
was had in reading by word method Three to
six months are wasted in learning letters and
as much more time in word-learning, while by
this method, the object is shown, the idea made
familiar and then the spoken and written name
learned. A child learns the names of fifty
play-fellows long before he has on the old
| method learned to spell. Experiments show
that AZ out of so read during the third week, by
| the word method. Not only is economy OF
time gained but interest is kept alive and that
wearinesswhich makes study to the infant mind
SO irksome renewed. An interesting exercise in
"Grapbics" conducted by Mrs. Cruttenden, il
Illustrated on the blackboard, was the principe
feature of the afternoon and to-day the Acade-
my classes are examined. The prospects of the
institution are highly encOuracipp The teach
ers from the training department are securing
positions at advanced rates which show the
practical value of this drill to the teachers
The trustees are to put the Academy building

Mr.. Shannahan told them that he and DOlan
should pay no more than Fuller & Harding,
who were paying their gangs but $1.5O. On
being told this, the strikers attacked Fuller 8,

NEW YORK MEDICAL UNIVERSITY A nu.
merous assemblage, including many prominent
members of the press, were present last eve
ming to celebrate the anniversary of the New
York Medical University, in the magnificent
reception rooms of the college building, at No.
s University place. The proceedings were
opened by Secretary Powell reading the sixth
annual report, from which it transpired that
during the year 1869 the large number Of &c, $40
patients had been treated. Of this number
19, 800 had been restored to health, and but 313
pronounced incurable. Some 600O desperate
cases i'd been greatly relieved and many had
not been further reported. The University is
duly incorporated by the State of New York,
and has branches in most of the prominent
cities throughout the Union. Like most new
undertakings the University has been perse-
cuted; but it would appear that the sound
basis of its foundation, notwithstanding all op.
position, is daily gaining the public conf lence
During the year 1869 sixteen students passed Q
satisfactory examination and became gradu-
| ates.
Professor j. Walter Scott then read an able
discourse upon "Medical Esthetics,'' in which
he illustrated the prosecutions in which al
prominent reformers had been subjected, es

Furthermore alluded to some remarkable dis
