Teachers Meeting.

The teachers Of the Austin Public
School held their final meeting for the
'erm' at the school house, last Saturday
morning. All were present, except Mrs.
Mason, Miss Crandall and Miss Chandler,
the last two of whom were detained at
home by illness. Several visitors were
present, among whom were two members
OF the Boarl of Education, aud Mrs.
Morse and Mrs. Ayres.
The meeting was departure from the
usual routine Of teachers meetings.
Methods OF teaching and discipline were
banished for the day, and an interesting
discussion Of Art and Architecture en-
sued. The meeting was presided over by
the Principal, who had previously drawn
up Sc! OF questions and assigned spe-
cial topic to each teacher. All the teach
ers present responded to the call of their
| names and topics, with we'll written pa
pers, cvincing careful reading aid study
Ut the subjects considered. Each paper
was followed Ivy questions from the Prin-
cipal, which were Intended to bring out
new points, or to supplement what the
essayisl had offered. The program, which
we here insert, will afford clearer idea
of The range and nature ofthe discussion
than an extended description Can give:
l. Development and Definition ut Art.
How IS Art distinguished from Science?-
Miss Crandall.
2. ldeallsm and Realism in Art.-Mlss
Chapman.
3. Kinds of Art defined. In what d e.
gree does work belong TO the Fine, or
To the Useful, Arts miss Lambert
4. Define the kinds of Fine Arts. What
Is the basis OF their classification Miss
Re'lner.
5. What are the prevailing ideas Of
Architecture? Why should buildings be
of stone. or iron, or Of inorganic matter :?
Miss Chandler.
6. An account of Egyptian Archltec.
lure. with reason for immensely Of slruc.
tures.-Mrs. Short.
7. An account of Grecian Architec-
ture.-M,ss Shultes.
=. An account of Gothic Architecture.
Miss Smith.
9. Modern Architecture. Its charac
tcristics. Idea on which it is based.-
Miss Pickard.
10. Description of the orders of Archi
tec,ure.-Miss Darrah.
II. What has Architecture done for
US, and what will! ours do for future gen.
eraliO:s?
The subject of Art is happy one for
discussion at this time. A deep interes,
in the study and knowledge of the beau
'iful is being manifested all over the
country by the formation OF Art Clubs
and the demand for good books on the
subject. And j, is fitting that it should
be so. Charming says, in speaking OF
beauty: "We see the germ Of this in
every human being, and there is no
power which admits of greater cu!t,va-
ton; and why should it not be cherished
in all? Beauty is all perva.
ding presence. The Universe is its tenn
pie, and those men who are alive TO II
cannot lift their eyes without feeling
themselves encompassed by it on every
side" This celebrated author Is right
This part Of our being should be cher
ished; for 1t enobles, re6nes, and Gle
Yates. Our teachers and principal are wise
10 devo'ing one or two of their meetings
each year tn the consideration of such a
subject. Whatever enlarges their inform
alton or puriies and strengthens their
thinking must add to their efficiency in
the school-room
