ranked among the first, and the specimens
which Prof Turner now has for the inspec-

addition to pianos, Prof. Turner also has seve-

ing additional names and short prayer by
Mr.. A. E. Pierce, the chair called the attention
of the Institute to the unfinished discussion OF
the day before.
Mr.. Pierce in extended remarks contended
that we cannot discard the use of either the
text book or the subject of grammar.
Mr.. Calhoun rose to oppose the views of DR..
N, urging the Importance of retaining the
Text Book as well as the subject Of Grammar.
Mr.. Sicily arose to ask for information. If
Prof. N. was right in teaching grammar by
sentence and language making, then we ought
to adopt it. II the old plan Of adhering to rules
and text books is the right one, then cling to it.
DR.. Hamilton in some unprepared remarks,
set forth his opposition to the views Of Dr.
Newell
Prof. Hulvey led off in well-delivered
speech against DR.. Ms. method for discarding
the text book He made some fine points, the
finest of which was whether we teach by text
book or not, the main thing is the live teacher,
he who suffers no page to be traced darkly.
Being called upon second time, he defended
the word method against all other plans to
teach the art of reading. 1t was natures plan,
and it needed no further argumentto convince
us it was the right and the beet pnsslh1llff one
On being asked # he preferred the written to
the oral plan for spelling. he replied emlphati
cally in favor of the former.
The Rev. Mr.. Funkhouser, in few we'll
timed remarks, congratulated the teachers of
the Institute on their meeting to-day, and
hoped that large meaeure Of SUCCESS would
attend the efforts of the teachers present
The Superintendent, % the hour for flnnal ad-

shown the results OF experiments In taxing

Congress in 1868 during the first full year

G ulnga domestic consumption of about
Sll5OO,OOO. Two years later (lSG7-S) under
the influence of frauds, which terminated
naturally under the temptation of a tax
which represented 1000 per cent. on the
first cost of the article assessed, the
direct revenue from spirits ran
down 90 per cent, or to S14,-

about 100000 gallons In 1868 Congress.
influenced by loss of revenue rather than
by any other arguments, reduced the tax
to fifty cents per gallon and in one wear
aiterward, or in lS69-70, the government as
sessed and collected the spirit tax ON 76 .

two years before In 1879 Con.
greSs, mainly on the .recommenda-
ton OF Commissioner who knew a
great deal about politics, but very little
about taxation, increased the direct tax TO
seventy cents, and the average quantity of
spirits that paid this rate during the three
wears OF its existence was G3, 72l 600 gallons.
In 1873 the tax was further advanced to
ninety cents per gallon; and tor the fiscal
year 80, the last for which returns are
available at present writing, the number OF
gallons which paid tax was 60, 1871 900, 70
l6,0O0(0) gallons less than were demon
strated to have been produced and con.
sumed ten years before.
