 Prof. Denton then made short, opening address, giving an outline of the history of Normal Institutes, also showing their importance, and telling of the effect intended to be produced by them; that they are intended to teach teachers how to teach, so that they may properly instruct the children com mitted to their charge and stating that it is the intention of this Institute to sweep over the whole field of public school studies, QLatin excepted) and school-room tactics. He was followed by Prof. Ladd in few appropriate re- marks. After music and announcement that Prof. Ladd would deliver lee- ture at 30 D. m., the Institute ad- iourned till that hour.
 Institute met pursuant to adjourn ment and opened with music. Prof. Denton then announced the programme for tomorrow, after which Prof. J. J. Iadd was introduced to the audience, who then delivered good, sound, prac- tical, soul stirring address, on popular education and public school matters in general. The house being full of teachers and citizens; at tie close of his remarks the Institute adjourned until g o'clock tomorrow.

Institute called to order and the fol- lowing additional teachers enrolled, viz:
 Prof. A. M. Gibson, Atkins, Pope
 Go.
 R. c. Reding and-J. NJ. Adkins, coun-
 ty examiner, Clarksville, Johnson Co. The first thing on the programme was Fractions, common aud decimal. by Prof. Kuhn, who gave very enter taining and exhaustive explanation of the subject, and more especially of di- vision of fractions.
 Next on programme was, Geography, by Prof. 0. II. Tucker. Would begin to teach Geography us soon as . child can read would not begin away off in Maine, but at home; first our own county, then our State; then other States and other countries. He believ- ed in outline teaching.

is indicative of noble patriot. Every good and right thinking man will support the man brought out by majority ot his party.
 We should urge upon the Cou1fy Executive Committee of the Demo cratic party to call the several town ship committees together, eleGt an executive committee for the ensu4ng campaign and at the same tune elect delegates to the Democratic State Convention which convenes at Little Rock on the 2d day of June next; and also determine whether the dem ocracy of the county will organize by holding primary election or con vention.
 am in favor of the primary cleo tion system as being the safest and best. 1 know 1t has it's objectiona | ble features, but much less than those of convention. The primary is purely democratic and the iairest way of ascertaining the choice of q majority, as every Democrat casts his own vote, making his own selec tion, representing his own individ- ual preference, and not some oflicious delegate casting the ballot for him.
 The objectionable features to the primary system, are only, so far as 1 have been able to learn, that the executive committee of the county sometimes fails to give the proper instructions to the several township committees, whose duty it is to con- duct the election in their township. 1 Fhe township committees should be instructed by the central committee to receive the ballot of democrats only, those who have acted with and voted for the regular nominees made by the party, and those only who wish to indentify themselves with the democratic party in good faith, l pledging thelr honor to abide by decision of a majority and support the nominees of the party. and op pose all opposition under whatever name it may be known.
 As I before said am in favor of a thorough, efficient organization by the primary system. am also in favor of the several township com mittees sscertaining as nearly as they can the choice of men in their several townships to fill the various offices of the county in the gift of the Democratic party and give public expression through the columns of the DEMOCRAT and the News, that those modest democrats who are willing to serve their country may know wherein thelr support lies.
 We should endeaver to harmonize every element inthedemocraticparty; :; obliterate all sectional hnes or local preferences or prejuaices; select worthy, sober, active men, whose platform IS upon merit and merit only. Then it will be that officials will reflect credit alike to the office they fill and to the party electing them. hope to'hear opinions freely expressed, An interchange of opinion is good. DEMOCRAT.
The Russellville Democrat., 1880-03-18

| The first on the programme was the 1 best method of teaching Arithmetic, by Prof. Kiminel, who gave very lucid explanation on the subject. He did not think it necessary to bur len the minds of beginners with the long rules laid down in the books. And after be- ing subjected to quite number of questions from other teachers, gave place to the next thing on the pro gramme, viz.
 Best method of teaching Reading, by | Mrs. McAlister, who certainly knew of what she was speaking. She said the first thing is to gain the attention of the child, don't care whether they know letter in the book or not. Teach them to read the first thing ; teach them to read words first, letters afterwards. She then illustrated her plan of teaching in full, and forcible manner. She says she makes her pu- pills learn it all completely, as they go along. She has no going through a , book the second time. When they get through the first reader the first time they are done with it forever. She gives short lessons and requires them to be learned perfectly, spelling all the words; would have children spell sem tences, they thus learn how and where to use the words; would always in- sist on proper articulation, and their knowing the meaning of words. The next on programme was English Grammar, by Prof. Hagan who made some very pertinent remarks on the subject. He stated that the longer he studied it the less he knew about it.; that he sometimes doubted if he had been teaching it at all; the language is so complex that no certain rule could be established; but there was one thing he would not do, and that was to teach analysis before etymology, and syntax.
 Then followed Sehool-room Commu- nications, how prevented, by Prof. Ladd. He stated the first and most im- portant thing to be, good order; next, the proper seating of scholars, taking care not to put close friends Sand con- genial spirits close together. Tbat teachers should in no case allow schol- ars to choose their own seats, but seat them as the preservation of order de- handed; would give a whispering re- cess of five minutes, four or more times day. He also insisted that teacher should never threaten scholar or make unnecessary promises. Weekly reports to parents, of department, scholarship, absence and tardiness, gre also help Tn this matter.
 MUSIC.
 Adjourned until l ;3o p. n.
The Russellville Democrat., 1880-03-18
Adjourned to s:3O tomorrow.
Thursday March lIth.

Institute met pursuant to adjourn ment and opened with Prayer by Rev. n. l.. Burrows, and music by the choir. First thing Tn order was The Word Method, by Prof. Ladd. Thought children more easily taught by associa- tion, as illustrated by the word cat and a picture of cat placed side by side, as the child learns to recognize the picture as that of a cat, so it will recognize the word cat as being q word picture of q cat. To spell the word c-a-t gives the child no idea at all, as it does not know the power of letters. Letters are too abstract for the little mind; yon should first give them words. After they learn to read, then teach them how to spell. They should also be taught to spell Theoretically.
 The committee on Resolutions then submitted the following, which was read and on motion unanimously adopted:
 We the Teachers of the 5th Judicial District of Arkansas, in Institute as- sembled during the past three days, ' the 9th, 10th and lith, hereby
