TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The Teachers Institute opened at
Salem, at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Professors Salisbury and Flett arrived
on the morning train, aud were soon
at work. Prof. Salisbury conducts the
recitations in Reading, History, Civil
Government, Geography, and Theory
and Practice of Teaching; Mr.. FLEET
handles Arithmetic, Grammar. and
Orthography; Sup't Mahoney conducts
exercise in Penmanship, and keeps the
Professors straight.
Monday morning there were forty
eight teachers on hand, which number
was increased to fifty-two at noon.
Tuesday morning there were seventy
two enrolled, and work began in earn
est. The teachers evidently came to
work, and there is no doubt but what
they will get plenty of it to do. It is
probable that the enrolment will ex-
ceed eighty before the Institute closes.
State Sup't Whitford will be at the
Institute on Thursday, Sept. 4th, and
will lecture in the Congregational
Church in the evening.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

Wednesday morning of last week
saw a membership Of 76 at the Insti-
tute, which number continued to be
the enrolment during the week The
work dCne is excellent. The exercise
in Reading is divided by Prof. Sails
Bury INTO two parts,- Orthoepy and
Expression. The most of the time
was spent in drilling on the sounds of
the vOWels in unaccented syllables.
Not only has Webster been drawn up
on for large number of rules, but the
Prof. has given many Of his own,
which his long experience in the work
has enabled him to frame This week
more attention will be paid to express
sion, and the teachers will be drilled
on that much neglected subject-Em-
phasls.
In History, the work has been con-
fined to the events Of the last fifteen
years. AS none of our school histories
contain much about what has happen
ed since the wal, the teachers have
been obliged to look up the topics in
the larger works, and to draw from
the knowledge Of those who have kept
track of passing events; and many
have drawn pretty heavily Oh their
imaginations.
In Geography the work has been rel
stricted to the United States. The
mountain and river systems, the sur
face climate and distribution of pop
ulatiOn by sections, have been finely
handled.
In photography, Prof. Flett contin-
ues the good work spoken Of last week
The teachers have taken hold Of this
matter with u vim, and the usual
dragging noticeable in recitations of
this kind, is not found.
The work in Arithmetic, us laid
down in the syllabus, is chiefly of no
practical benefit to anyone; neverthe-
less Mr.. Flett has made the recitation
a success by going outside of the pro-
gramme.
But it is in Grammar that Mr.. FIett
is at home. The sentences he handles
are EWell calculated to deceive" as
we can testify.
He runs the boys ashore in Relatives
in a way that is childlike and bland"
The amount Of it is that many are
finding out that they do not know as
much about grammar as they thought
they did, and excellent results will fol-
low the thorough overhauling which
the principles are receiving. Intinitives
are yet to come.
The enrolment this (Tuesday) NOR
ming is IS; which is the largest num-
Der ever enrolled in an Institute in
Kenosha County.
The spirit throughout has been good,
and everyone is satisfied. Supt. Whit
ford will be present Thursday, and will
lecture in the evening.
