Teachers Institute.

WEST LIBERTY, j une ~.
The exercises OF The Institute opened
this morning at 8 o'clock and were Of a
very interesting character, such as dis
cuSslon Of queries, talks by teachers, &c.
The interest manifested by the teachers,
nearly all Of whom were pupils Of the
school, shows that they are earnestly en-.
deavoring TO prepare themselves for the
work Of teaching.
The evening exercises consisted OF an
entertainment given by the writer for the
benefit Of the Institute. The audience
was respectable and the attention good.
Dr.. A. b. Miller, President Of the

the cause Of education in general.
Wednesday morning, June 2lst, Insti-
tute opened at o'clock. After dsvo.
tiOnal exercises, DR.. a. B. Miller was
introduced and talked for some time on
the theory Of teaching. When we say
that one law controls many facts, that ia
a theory. Science is 4 System Of laws.
Teaching is u science. II is system OF
all the laws, that control the different
facts brought to bear in teaching. The
three great laws Of education: (l) The
mind Ia susceptible OF growth. (2.) It
grows by its own activity. (3) 1t grows
in the faculties that are exercised. Cor
ollary TO the three laws,
Therefore, Symmetrical education is the
symmetrical development Of all the fac,
ulties, including attention, Judgment,
reason, memory, imagination, taste, &c.
The talk Was very interesting and the
points made were enforced by various
anecdotes and Illustrations.
His talk was followed by the discus.
sion OF several queries, all Of which ellie.
tied quite an interest.
Alter a recess of five minutes and
duet on the piano by Misses Annie Walk.
er and Emma Bell, DR.. Miller gave talk,
taking for his subject, "First Lessons in

l. A child OF ordinary ability may be.
gin the study at eight years Of age.
