Miss Grace illustrated her method of,
teaching geography, which was OBJ
served withstrict attention.
Mr.. Hastings again favored the
meeting with lesson In Arithmetic,
cnlivening the.same- with history of
some Of his early experience.
Prof. Graves urged the teachers to
procure and study some work on Word
Analysis, and also = Dictionary, and
illustrated the necessity for this course
by questioning the class before him on
the meaning and derivation of . few
words in common use.
A practical lesson and discussion in
Grammar followed.
l:30r. M.-Mrs. Peck gave lesson
in Cube and Square root successfully,
explaining their operations in very
clear and concise manner.
Mrs. Ives conducted an exercise in
reading, but being much fstigued with
previous work, failed to bring out the
points she desired, to impress upon the
minds Of theteachcrs.
10: l6 A. M.-After the social, follow
ed alesson in Mathematical Geography

ably taught by Prof. Hastings.

Inc institute met according TO ad-
journment, and was called to order by
Supt. Baker, and was opened with
prayer by Rev. Virgins.
The roll was called and showed SO
teachers tardy.
Mrs. Israel gave lesson in Natural
History. Subject: Beaver.
This was followed by the continu-
ance of yesterdays lesson in Physical
Geography, by Mr.. Horner.
Mr.. Green in few words presented
the claims of the Iowa School Jour-
nal.
Prof. Graves urged the necessity for
uniform mode of study throughout
the county. A motion to appoint q
committee to draft plan for such
cause, was adopted.
A social of ten minutes was follow.
ed by an exercise in Arithmetic by
Messrs. Graves and Green, and this by
a class drill in Webster's system OF
Photographed markings, conducted
by Mr.. Cook.
The Institute enjoyed this exercise
quite as much 40 the one Immediately
following in reading by Mr.. DUNCAN.
100 r. M.-The first exercise this af-
ternoon was class drill in Arithmetic
by Miss Emma Cooper, lesson, per
cent. The teacher manifested a per-
feet knowledge Of this principle in al
it's ramifications, but failed to elicit
much from the class, owing to the tim
idity and want of thought on the part
of some Of the teachers, and ignorance
in others. It is sad reflection on the
incapacity not Of our present teachers
only, but those who have gone before,
that so great per cent. Of our people
know SO little ofthis common principle
in business.
Prof. Hastings, the accomplished
Grammarian Of our city, pleasantly
gave the Institute class drill in Par
sing, and unravelled several knotty
points that were puzzling the brains Of
the less experienced teachers.
Prof. Caldwell occupied the ramain.
ing half hour in . drill in Penmanship.
The contents Of the question box af-
forded some amusement, and suggest
ed a better observance Of the rules of
etiquette in regard to leaving lecture
rooms, &C., during the exercises.
7P. M.-Music, followed by dis.
cussion, subject: The necessity for
Normal Schools, in which the matter
was ably treated by Messrs. Green,
Sampson, Hastings and others.
Miss Beck read well written essay
"WAo Shall be tho ConqaerorS" follow
ed by that soul-stirring anthem Mag
Nifty the Lord, magnificently rendered
by J. L. Stewart and his accomplished
choir. Never have we SO much appre-
ciated the beauty and excellence of a
knowledge of music, and the necessity
for its more general diffusion, as during
this educational meeting. The lecture
that followed was not as classical as
could have been wished. Some good
points and plain truths were presented
and had they been clothed in better
language, they would have been more
highly appreciated.

WedneedAy. Dec. 4.
The Institute assembled Atg A. NJ,
and called to order by Pres. Baker
The devotional exercises were conduc-
ted by Prof. Graves. The roll call
showed 1l9 teachers present.
At $50 Prof. DUNCAN ably and
pleasantly conducted . recitation In
history, illustrating to the teachers that
this branch can be made much more
interesting study than it Is, as usually
conducted.
Next exercise = class drill in arith-
metic by Prot. Hastings took at once an
instructive and humorous turn that
was appreciated by the teachers.
During recess so subscribers were
obtained for On educational journal,
and we were pleased to observe this
indication of an awakening among
teachers to the importance Of their pro-
fession. 1t is q lamentable fact that
not 20 per cent. of our teachers read
our county papers, and we would sug-
gest as the next step in this direction
that they subscribe for some one ofour
local papers.
IL 4. M.--Mr. Gilbert in 80 minutes
attempted to explain the principle Of
Decimal Fractions, and succeeded i'd
mirally as far as this limited time gave
him opportunity.
Mr.. Homer pleasantly presented
Physiology in brief address.

part of SO teachers.
Prof. Graves opened the afternoon
exercises Sy urging the importance Of
teaching Physiology in our common
schools.
Mr.. Hinton taught q class in gram
mar in particularly pleasant manner
Mr.. Cook gave q Lesson IN Language,

Mr.. Caldwell again favored the In.
stitute with a lesson In Penmanship.
The questions in the boa afforded
amusement, and excited some interest
after which the Institute adjourned tc
meet at the NJ. e. Church at Z :15P. NJ
7:l5P. M.-The exercises according
to programme were continued at the
NJ. E. Church, aud as ON previous eve
nings were enlivened by excellent
music and discussions.
The subject discussed, viz: Grading
Country Schools, " was taken up at Z :9(
and we regret that it was scarcely
touched except by one or two speak.
crs. In all these discussions the tex
has not been adhered to as closely al
could he wished.
Mrs. Ives read an essay, Qualifca
tons of Teachers, which was followed
by q lecture from DIR. j. M. Shaffer
subject, Ridicxls. The lccturg was !
mastery effort, but the passing ont Of (.
few individuals was taken by tn,
speaker as an indication that he wa!
wearying the audience, and he there
fore omitted much that would hav'
been listened to by the majority Will
much pleasure. The unkindness ant
folly Of using Ridicule in argument, o.
on any other occasion was clearly de
monstrated by the speaker, and full,
appreciated by his listeners.
