LECTURE ny MARIA L.. sANDFlRD, OF swARrIIMoRE
The third regular meeting of the Teachers
Institute was held in the room of the Boys De-
partinent No. l. yesterday, at four p. Nj.
The usual literary exercises were omitted for
the purpose OF listening to an address, from
Miss Maria L. SANFORD of the faculty OF Swarth-
more College. This lady, wh1 il well known ior
remarkable ability and experience in her profess
sion, had very kindly responded to the invitation
of the Institute and left her regular duties to
attend this meeting. She gave her views
upon the responsibility OF teachers Tor the
moral training Of their pupils, claiming that this
is IA truly binding as the responsibility for mem
tai culture. In the course of her remarks,
Miss Sanford laid particular stress upon the I'M
porance of teaching the pupil uutyuthess,
which III her opinion is n matter more OF cultl-
vatinn than of natural endowment, and gave sew
eral interesting examples OF successful training
in this respect. Neatness and good taste III dress
aud love for the beautiful to be tostered by
flowers and music in the schoolroom and es-
pecialy by the example Of the teacher, were
| also touched upon. Incidentally, the statement
was emphasized that where these qualities
| are properly developed, there is little need
| for severe penalties. mere abstract OF tho
address fails to Reproduce its interesting eharac-
ter for although 1t may rea lily be admitted that
nothing new can be said on 30 old an art as
| teachinp Miss Sandforr5 earne5tnes5 and
| freshness OF feeling, her enthusiasm in her
| work and evident sympathy for all engaged III
| it, aided by an unassuming familiarity OF man-
| ner, left all impression upon those present
| which cannot fail to quicken and encourage
| them IN their work.
| After Aliss Sanfords address. few remarks
were made by the Ii,v. DIR. Frost of Trinity
church to the effect that the work Of instruction
was hardly inferior to the sphere of the minister.
| Dr. Grimshaw responded to a call from the pre-
| siding officer by graceful compliment to Miss
| sanford in which lie wished he - were n boy
again" that he might be taught in such way
| as she had described.
After a unanimous vote of thanks to the
| Speaker the Institute adjourned.

Lewis Thompson, from the special Committee
of tho House to whom the subject was referred,
reported yesterday that in their Judgment gem
eral Incorporation act would be eunconstitutional.
The provisions adopted by the Convention OF
1881 and now existing, are, it istrue, apparently
stringent, though, in our Judgment, it is not
clear that they forbid general Act The Ian
guage, (Aticle II, Section I'D is that no incor-
