Methods i'm Institutes.

kchdiy
Methods in Institutes are necessa-
rily various, not only because the per-
sons who instruct in them are umer
Gus, but because the idea Of what
methods are is not at all fixed. To
one person a clear understanding Of
the text book is the very best method
possible; to another, the textbook
has no rights an educated teacher is
bound to respect. To some, the man.
ner of teaching is all important; to
others, the manne is nothing, if the
matter is taught, and the pupil learns.
The lecturing system is good, if
those who talk say what is worth re-
membering, and those who hear have
the capacity of receiving and holding
what is heard.
What we do, rather than what we
say, produces a lasting impression on
others. If we could have methods in
teaching illustrated by actual teach
ing /; if we could take some excellent
teachers around the country, and Lei
them actually teach a few pupils
some valuable knowledge, in a model
and normal manner, it would do al
incalculable amount Of good. The
''pouring-in" process is the very
worst method possible. Our insti
tutes are doing great good, but they
might do a greater. The following
things are needed:
L. Attendance at Institutes should
be enforced.
2. Institute conductors should
have complete control of all examina
tons of all teachers.
8. They should require a certain
course of prescribed study during thu
entire year by each elementar,
teacher.
4. All general methods, and man.
special ones, should be required t
be pursued in all schools by ever,
teacher.
5. Institute conductors should no
receive less than $4,000 per annum
with all necessary travelling expense
paid.
q. They should be appointed b,
the action of the educational head Q
the State, aud hold their office dur
ing good behavior.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Institute was called to order
by the Vice President, 8. I. Davis.
The first exercise was . paper
read by Mr.. G. D.. Rodgers, subject:
Chow to secure tho cooperation OF
parents" The essay gave many
valuable suggestions 10 regard TO
the duty OF teachers and their work
both in and ont of the school room.
After showing the want OF oo-opera-
ton in our schools, he gave some of
the auses and suggested how these
might be removed and cooperation
secured. The subject was afterward
discussed by Prot. ]. P. Gass, w.
e. Dudley, c. &. Cunningham and
many others.
The next exercise was a paper by
Prof. J. P. Gass, subject: "School
supervision" The essay showed
lneMciency of many of the public
schools to be the result of a lack OF
proper supervision. 1t also pointed
out some defects in the school law
and closed by proposing several
amendments that if incorporated in
the same would obviate all these
difficulties and render all our schools
more efficient In their work. The
subject was then discussed by Prof.
J. II. Myers and Geo. d. Bowman.
After the discussion Prof. j. P.
Blanton offered the following reso-
lutions: .
Ist. That Prof. Gass be requested
to furnish Q copy of his admirable
paper for publication.
End. That the chair appoint a
committee OF Ave to prepare a pes

amendments to the school law, and

In issuing its prospectus for 1879, the
Republican proposes to maintain its char

for the collection of news surpassed. The
paper will be a constant reflex Of the most
reliable intelligence obtainable from all

The Female TRAMP.

New York, Jan. 13.--Madame Anderson

miles in as many quarter hours tonight.
Considerable money is said to nave changed
hands on the result. Her physician and
husband have begged her for several days
to desist, but she was too plucky. 1t is
shown that her share of the money will be
about SIS, 900, or rather more than SO, 900
per week. Her task has been pleasing to
spectators, the hall being filled during the
day with the best people of Brooklyn.
ladies predominating. She commenced
the last quarter mile at 10 AS, and made it
in two minutes thirty-seven and three
quarter seconds. During the last four
quarters she was the recipient of several
presents. She appeared greatly exhausted
after her last quarter mile had been accom-
plished and was taken to her physician,
where she will be under treatment for q
week or two. At first she was not allowed
to sleep over fifteen minutes at a time. 1t
is said she would probably never wake if not
disturbed. In a day or two she will be al
lowed to sleep two hours at a time, and the
time Of rest will be gradually increased
until she can take all to sleep she desires
without injury.

The Gold Yield OF 1873.

Wells. Fargo & &c. have published their
usual annual report Of precious metal ship
ments through them, which they give to
the public Is a statistical exhibit Of the gold
and silver production Of the United States.
The figures are undoubtedly approximately
correct, as they sre the leading treasure
carriers Of this country; but when they give
them as actual statistics they seek to adver-
tise themselves by misleading the public.
The gold production of the Black Hills for
the year is set down at 50. 215, 80i-- to which
We may add at least t~hree-quarters Of a
million as the sum that Wells, Fargo Il Co.
did not carry out. Our total gold produc-
ton for the year just ended has not been
less than SO, 600, 900. Considering the ex-
tent Of territory, population, and the fact
that this is the youngest Of the mineral
regions and that the developing capital il
just beginning TO be introduced, these
figures are satisfactory enough, and prove
that our mines are, upon the whole, the
most productive on the continent. 1t il
safe to predict that the yield Of the present
year will be double that Of 1878, M that
the increase will, in the main, come from
the great veins Of Rockford district

A RUN ON THE BANK OF LONDON.
No Evidence that Germany has Sold
Her SURPLUS silver.

LONDON, January II.
An enormous crowd had assembled in
Lombard street, and great excitement pre-
walls over a reported run on the Bank of
London and the County Banking Com
pany. A dispute about cab fare in front Of
the bank attracted a crowd. This was
about II o'clock. 1t soon began to be
noised abroad that the bank was in trouble,
and the crowd increased. A genuine run
on the bank was begun. and the street ever
since has been blocked with people, and .
corps Of policemen has been detailed to
keep order. The bank has q good many
branches in the suburbs, and the rumor
spreading may cause such Q drain Of cash
as to bring the concern in difficulty.
The 9Times," in its financial article this
morning, says: There is no direct evidence
that Germany has sold any Of her surplus
silver, but unless it came from that quar-
ter it is not clear whence the mount which
commanded half pence an ounce, on Tues
day could have been obtained, as the mar
ket was said 20 have been entirely bare be-
fore that transaction. The current opinion
is that in the probable event Of the Indian
demand being prolonged, Germany will
come on the market as a seller.

How Mimi. Iatere.:s arc Affected.

The Black Hills Central says nothing is
less understood than questions of finance.
The monetary influences seem to be al
together capricious, the wisest usually be-
ing placed at fault in their predictions and
theories by practical results. For instance,
ii was generally believed that the attempt
Of the Government to resume specie pay
ment. on the first of the year, would be a
failure, that would lead to still greater
striugency in financial circles but resump-
ton was practically accomplished before
the appointed day, and the volume of cir
c~ulation is said to be rapidly increasing.
From thousands OF hooks aud corners
money is pouring into the channels Of trade
which had for years been lying dormant,
and the black clouds of business stagnation
seem to be breaking. The gold-hoarders
have suddenly awakened to the fact that a
twenty dollar Grecnbsck is as much money
as a double-easle, and they are now throw
ing their coin in sight. In this we see sub
stantial hope for a better condition of
things in the mining regions. All money
is now seeking Investment; none will be
allowed to lie dormant; and the general
public, in considering the various modes
of employing capital, have concluded that
if a few thousand men can yearly take more
wealth out Of the gold and silver mines of
the country than is realized by the millions
engaged in tilling the soil-and the statistics
show they have been doing 1.-THE best in
vestments must, as q rule, be mining invest

towards the mountains as it never was be-
