Washington Teachers Institute.

The following, from the Olympia
" Standard, is worthy Of interest;
The Institute convened in Seattle
.u the 18TH inst, Rev. Geo. +. Whit
worth in tine chair, On account Of
the boats changing their time Of
leaving Olympia, delegates from
Thurston county did not reach Seat
tie until Wednesday afternoon. Mr..
Z. Judson, President of the Institute,
presented the draft of school law
which he read at the first evening
session, The day following, it was
re-read and subjected to some
amendments. AT the conclusion of
the record-reading, the whole matter
was referred to a committee of five,
with instructions to digest and pre-
pare it for publication, on or before
the first day of September next. The
committee on text books recon-
mended the postponement of that
matter until the next meeting, deem
ing it advisable to make any selection
at the present time, lest it would an
ticipate and perhaps embarrass the ac
ton of the proposed Board of Edu-
cation. Mr.. NJ. G. Roy!e delivered
lecture upon the Theory and Prac-
tice of Teaching, paying much at
tcntion to the best method for deyel
oping the perceptive faculties. An
essay. "The Teachers Calling" by
Mrs. A. J. White, and one Primary
Instruction." by Mrs. p. C. Hale,
were well written. Mr. c, X. Jen-
ner, oC New Castle, delivered very
interesting lecture upon the 9" Teach.
crs of the Olden Time" Mr.. +.
Clark opened the discussion on
School Discipline, followed by Mrs,
p. G. Hale and others. Rev. G. +.
Whjtworth gave lecture upon the
duties of County Superntendents.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following which was
adopted:
Institute acknowledge with gratitude their
obligations to the citizens of Seattle who
have so literally entertained them during
their stay in this city.
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
Institute that female teachers are entitled
to the same renumeration as that paid TO
males for like services, and that any dis
ordinations in this epect. on account of
sex. are unjust and unworthy the age in
which we live.
Resolved. That il is the duty Of the
Executive Committee to try and secure
halt fare rates. for teachers, SchO0l-Oilic.r'
and the friends. OF education who may
wish to attend the Institute at Olympia;
and that said committee have blank certi-
tlCate printed to be furnished to those at
tendance.
Resolved. That the thanks Of this In
stitute be rendered to j. f. Clark. our
Secretary, for the efficient manner in
which he has performed the duties of his
office.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: j. p. Judson,
Superintendent Of Schools ex oilicio

Mrs. p. G. Hale and Supt. Walla.

An Artificial Mammoth.

NJ Martin, German naturalist, has
recently constructed artificially a MAN.
moth (eiephas primigenius) of the quar-
ternary epoch, after the many fine fos-
sis of that extinct animal now existing
in the Natural History Museum of Stuff
gardt. The form of the body OF the g.
gantic creature, its trunk, tusks, and
hair the latter close imitation of that
of the real animal found in the Siberian
ice) have been wonderfully counterfeit
ed, SO that the resemblance is as accur-
ate as if the mammoth's skin had been
stuffed. The animal measures 10 feet
in height by nearly &c feet in length. 1t
is made upon a wooden frame work,
covered with wire cloth, the latter being
coated wit papier mache. The hair is
reproduced from the fiber of an Indian
palm, the tusks are of wood, and the
trunk is ingeniously made of paper.
We are glad to notice that this valua-
BILE work has been purchased by Profess
sor II. A. Ward for his museum of 70
ology and Comparative Anatomy in
Rochester, n. Y. 1t has already been
packed, and is now on its way to this
country.-Sc,entifc american.
