of the teachers. Her system of teach.
ing, we think, should be more gener-
ally adopted, especially in primary
schools. We believe her lecture will
bear good fruit.
After "Sweet bye and bye" by the
band, Prof. Caldwell, of Nashville.
read the following report, which was
unanimously adopted by a rising vote:
Whereas, Teachers of tried experi>
ence or of professional training are
indispensable to the success of a sys-
tenn of public instruction, and
Whereas, Through the assistance of
the Peabody trustees and the cooper
alton of the University of Nashville,
having for its object the supplying of
this felt want, has been established /;
therefore. he it resolved by the Ninth
Congressional Institute,
First. That this body recognizes,
with great pleasure, the eminent sue
cess of the State Normal College, at
Nashville, under the management of
President Eben S. Stearns and his
able corps of instructors.
Secondly. That we earnestly recon-
mend all persons in this congressional
district, and throughout the state, in.
tending to adopt the profession of
teaching, to attend said Normal Col
iege and enjoy the great benefits now
so freely offered by its managers, with
out money and without price.
Thirdly. That, while gratefully rec
ognizing the muni6cent liberality and
wisdom of the Boards of Trust of the
Nashville University and of the Pea-
body Fund in thus establishing in our
midst an Institution so useful and ele-
waiting, we sincerely hope that the
next General Assembly Of Tennessee
will, and We earnestly recommend
that they shall appropriate or apply
to its uses a sufficient amount to in.
sure its permanent establishment as
one of the educational features of the
state.

A FEAST OF REASON.
Last Day of the Congressional
fnstitute---The western Di-
vision Institute Meets and
AdiOurns.

A0gOufNs.
The Congressional District Institute
opened Thursday morning with a solo
by little Alice Holt and chorus by the
school girls. Prof. ]. r. Hodges, of
May6eld KY, then read his paper on
"School Government" which was
omitted the previous day. 1t was a
thoughtful document, and showed a
thorough knowledge of his subject.
The gentleman convinced the audi
ence that he was not only fine reader
and elocutionist, but most thought
full educator. His leading idea of
school government was that the
teacher should love his pupils and
place himself en- rapport with them.
Be patient in explaining to and in
leading them, and he would succeed.
Appeal to the nobility and pride of
the child, win his love. and use the
rod only as the last resort.
Mrs. Davis and Miss Bette Moore
played a beautiful piano duet while
preparations were being made for an
illustrative lesson in Arithmetic, by
Helen Hoadly, of Knoxville. Half
a dozen lady and gentleman teachers
were called to sit as a class, but every
one of them save Prot. Wright inglo-
riously backed out. Sup't Coulter,
Prof. Hodges and Prof. Wright after
ward volunteered. She illustrated
the use of the word "and" in reading
whole numbers and decimals, writiGg
the answers of the class. She rubbed
out their "ands" in reading everywhere
except at the decimal point, and con-
tended that was the best rule to adopt
in reading figures. For instance:
1,001 ,001. .007 ,006 should read "One
million one thousand one and seven
thousand six millionths." She also
gave otherinteresting examples, which
we have not room TO enlarge upon.
Prof. Stanford, of Gibson, came
next. Subject: Talent and Genius"
His essay was interesting and some
of his comparisons very striking.
Talent is plodding, subject to regular
laws. Genius is brilliant and law
unto itself. We cannot do the gentle
man Justice in a short notice, and have
not room for liberal synopsis.
A lively discussion of Prof Hodges
essay was here INDUCED in by DIR.
Broun, Prof. Floyd and Prof. Hodge.

ing up, Sup't Trousdale made state.
ment uf the condition of the State
Normal Schools. lie regretted that
our Legislature at it last session re-
fused positively to appropriate any
thing for the support of that school,
and said that some of our members
acted very shabbily in voting against
the measure when the school was
largely supported by the Peabody
fund. He hoped that we would yet
save the school to the state, notwith-
standing the narrow predjudices shown
by our solons at Nashville.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
The Institute met at two O'Clock
and was opened with music by the
band.
Prof. G.. X. McGee, of Trenton
High School, then read an able paper
entitled: "What it is our business to
teach, it is our duty to study" He
argued the great Importance Of teach
ers studying thoroughly everything
they propose to teach. A teacher,
like other professional men or me-
chanics, must learn his business by
years of application, or apprentice
ship, before he is competent to teach
others. He enlarged on the subject
of the manner Of teaching and man.
aging children, and gave evidence of
a close study of his subject during the
reading of his paper.
Prof. Floyd endorsed the paper en-
Enthusiastically in short speech.
Prof. Collins also made a few re-
marks complimentary to it.
Prof. Foute and Prot. Haley, Prof.
L. L. Rogers, of Indiana, and Prof.
Hodges took part in the discussion pro
and con.
Misses Grigsby and Perry played
a charming duet after the discussion,
when Miss Augusta Towel, of the
Memphis High School, gave a very
illustration of object teach
ing with blocks, birds, etc. Not only
the little folks, but the lager people
present gave her close attention, and
all were well pleased. At the request
Of Sup't Shropshire she also gave a
lesson with the New American Charts

which the little folks were charmed,
and which was indeed new to many

This is bad year for cities. Memphis
is RENTED to the condition of wilder

City is industriously " shining" to
avoid default, and it is now announced
that Altoona is to be sold under the

taxes. The purchase of Altoona would
be real-estate operation from which
we should say that in the present con-
dition of the market the largest and
boldest operators might be excused for
Sinking, nor is syndicate likely to be
formed to acquire the stock, fixtures
and good will on which the late town
owners find it impossible even to pay
taxes. Municipalities, from CONNER
cial point of view, are much the worst
managed of all corporations, for the ~ea-
son that they are given over to man
ayers whom the stockholders of any
other corporation would employ, if at
all, in the most subordinate capacities.
There is stringent need of general re-
form in this matter, but it is rather mel
ancholy to consider that the only seri-
GUS attempt at reform in this State re-
suited in recommendation which was
in the first place certain not to be adopted
and in the second place certain not to
make any practical difference in the
government of cities if it had been
adopted.-NeaD York World.
