1t1 TUESDAY MORNING.
The Institute was opened by singing
"Home OF The Soul" under the leader
ship of Prof. Kline.
Prof. verrill, of Mansfield, was then
introduced to the Institute who, after
very agreeable introductory greeting,
proceeded to take up the subject of
photography. The Professor began by
making inquiry into the question, Ibid
the people of twenty Ave years ago
spell better than the people of to- day?"
and, by very fair comparison, decided
the question in the negative. Upon
The invitation OF the Professor num-
Der " questions were asked and sug-
gestions made by Messrs. Hollinger,
Barber, Rowland, Darlington, Mrs.
Diehl, and others. ....
Mr.. Barber read an interesting ex-
tract on phonetic spelling from DR.
Marrh's lecture before the State Teach
ers' Association at Wilkes Barre.
The hall being so poorly heated as to
make 1t exceedingly uncomfortable, the
room on the first floor. -l-Li
After music by the Institute, "Kind
words can never die," Mr.. Hollinger,
of Summit Hill, took up the subject OF
"Oral Grammar. The speaker would
commence the subject by taking up,
first, the noun, teaching the pupil to
distinguish between the name and the
object. He would then proceed to the
verb, and would successively take up
the remaining parts of spepcli denomi,
mating them as name. words, action
words, quality-wOrds, etc., omittng
properties until a more advanced stage.
Mrs. Anna Randall Diehl, Messrs. Ar
mold, Rowland, Profs. Verrill and Tink-
or and the County Superintendent. q
The Institute was then favored with
the reading of two selections entitled
Aud Folks" and "Molly Carew," by
Mrs. Diehl, who, by her clear delivery
and happy manner, wonderfully i'm
pressed the Institute. The former con.
sisted of dialogue between two SOL
diers, and the latter of cOlloquy be-
tween lovers, both pieces happily
blending the serious and the humorous.
The subje ects OF the morning session
were quite interesting, and were extern
sively discussed. In the discussion of
orthography two views seemed to pre-
vail; first, that the oral and written
methods should be happily blended, and
second, that with advanced pupils
especially the written method alone
should be used. s.f
In the matter Of oral grammar the
Institute seemed to he a unit In the
sentiment that grammar should be be.
gun and continued as an oral exercise,
until the pupil has advanced TO a
period In which he is capable of taking
up the branch purely as science.
