THE TEAcHERs' INSTITUTE.

The full and judicious report of our Washington correspondent leaves very lit- tie for us to'say regarding the Teachers Institute at that place. last week. The attendance of teachers was large and the interest manifested great. If we were to attempt criticism it would be on the sin gle point that there was .tee zaaeh speak ing about education generally, and too little special teaching of teachers. For instance, we were particularly interested in the remarks of the Chinese Commis- sioners--in his just eulegy of the orderly habits of his countrymen as compared with the crime and violence of Western cities; and in his natural pride in histo- ry of 4OO0 years, and population of 400 millions, among whose cities Bridgeport and Hartford would rank as t'hamlets' yet he could not teach teachers what they came specially to learn. The presence of more practical instructors like Prof. Crit tenden, Prof. Russell and Miss Bush struck us as the chief need of the Institute .
 The hospitality of the people of Wash ington delighted all the visitors, sur prised those who were strangers to that hospitable place, and contributed largely towards making the Institute one of the pleasantest and most successful as we'll as the largest that has been held this season. "'-

 Prof. Russell gave instruction and ex- amples in reading that were very instruc- tive. Some startling statements were made. "Bnt one person out of three hundred in the city of New York breaths aright, and but one out of seventy in the country" First thing teach your schol- ars how to breathe, and then to read their lesson. not sag it. His exercises gave in- tense satisfaction.
 Prof. Northrop gave a brief account of the state of education in Europe, eulo- gizing the compulsory teaching Of child ren in Germany and Switzerland, as w1t- messed by it's results. Miss Bush, of the State Normal School, gave some lessons m combinations. of figures. To her qaes- tions, answers were readily given by her. class, showing a wonderful shortening of tedious old processes. Prof. Thatcher of Yale spoke of the necessity for the state to furnish education to it's children. If the State gives twenty dollars to educate a poor mans son, the father gives at least one hundred and twenty-five dollars in board and cloths besides loss of service for one year. The State is the gainer; sois the taxpayer. Judge Carpenter of the Su- .preme Court showed how much cheaper 1t was to educate man into useful citi- zen, than to let him grow up in ignorance and then incarcerate, imprison or hang him at last. Also that we must have an enlightened public sentiment, which can come only through education, to en- force law. Public opinion is the Supreme law giver and executor; see that it be ed ucated ..'.[
 Rev. MT. Elliot, of Litchfeld, said, that the force of all teaching lay in the person. ality of the teachers. Be a0hat you apould teach. Prof. Carlton, principal, of the State Normal School, gave most excellent hygienic advice to teachers. Prof. Dwight spoke on scientific studies; practical, put ting out fire, antidote to poison, ae Miss Browning, of the same school, gave beautiful lessons in drawing! Prof. Nor throp. has been, accused of having this for hls hobby But no one who saw the ef. feet of the art on thinking, language, mathematics, writing and invention, can doubt its utility. We wofully regret that in our school-boy days we learned only the art of drawing hand-sled. How fa- vored are rising generations MT. Bird (see Arthur Bonnicastles was called out and gave lesson in three words, 'sLove your scholars" At the closing of the exercises Miss Bush taught geography class in which Bird was fairly caught as a school-boy and answered with commend able promptness and precision. Prof. Brewers lecture on coal and its uses fin ished with Old Hundred to hold it down.
 Over one hundred and, fifty teachers and school visitors were present and found bed and board and transportation to and from the depot gratis.
