Reported officially for the CHRONICLE

SEVENTH DAY.
The second week of the Normal Institute
opened Monday morning with fair attend
ance and many new teachers registered their
names A cool breezs ON the hill made
those comfortable who were not actively en-
gagged in work. There were good many
visitors present and everything is moving on
nicely. The first lecture of the morning
was one on Pedagogics by Prof. Louis
Soldan He said: In teaching children
reading, I consider the scrip method the
best, as it combines writing with reading.
The child's name should be taught first; in
some cases he may not be able to go to
school very long, ond if he can only write
a word OF two. it had much better be his
name, as it will be of incalculable benefit.
The habit of printing the word, SO common
in schools, consider not good method,
as it teaches the child something which will
be abandoned in few months; whereas
what is thaught in the scrip method
is clear gam A second objection
to a. the printing Of words is
that it interferes with good penmanship.
The main exercise in reading is to read the
lesson exactly as it is in the book. The
class must be able to read it with proper

Reducing the Production Of Re
fined sugars.

New YORK, July 1.-THE sugar
refners here have been exercised
some time over the fact that the
sugar market has become stagnant,
owing to decline of refined sugars
below remunerstive prices. Reports
of short and damaged crops had
created an excitement among the
growers and refiners, and prices
for raw materials advanced one cent
per pound, Dealers at once laid in
large stocks, and there has since
been almost no demand on the re-
fint ries. The prices of refined su-
gars declined one cent within one
month.
Remedies have been discussed and
to day the refners came to anagree-
ment to reduce their MEETINGS of ra W
material this week one third IN hope
of improving the market. The pro-
duction of the New York refneries is
100000 pounds daily, SO that the
action of the refners will this week
reduce production about 10,000,000
pounds.
