There seems to be every probability
that the Lehigh river will be bridged at Al

q very important route when the Soull

The Slate Industry.

The great variety of uses TO which slate
is put, aside from its superb rity for roofing
purposes, has of late years given great i'm :
petus tn the trade, aud much capital Il as
gone into the slate business, and many new
quarries have been opened IN Lphigh ard
Northampton Counties,aud the oil qusrri, c
| more fully developed. The trade is in a
healthy condition, and the operators in and
about slatington are working their estab-
Iishments with full compliments Of men.
A few days ngn David Williams, of slat.
ington, was offered 500 900 for his quarry
but he declined, 10 sell, as the quarry yield,
him return equal 10 any investments oi
twice that amount If progress continue.
in the same ratio in The future as il has in
the past few years the slate industry ol thiI
srction will rival iron in its importance
The cheapness and superiority fnr Toofr 5
purposes are demonstrated from the fac
that the cost of 100 square feet Of slate roof
ing is $3.50; uf boards, 50; oi tin, $3.50; o

The life Of slate roof is sixty years, q

on the use Of the moulding board in teach
ing geography, in which the audience was
highly interested.
The last exercise Of the forenoon was an
address by Mr.. II. A. Eisenhari, Of the
East Mauch Chunk High School, on "Gen-
eral Exercises" lie said that there were a
great many things not in our text hooks
which our pupils ought tn know aud which
could he taught at intervals between the
periods assigned to the regular class work
A great deal of valuable, general informa-
ton could thus be taught. THIS would, at
the same time, also give desirable variety
to the exercises Of the school.
In the afternoon Miss Esther Griflilhs
gave a Calisthenic drill, after which Supt
R. F. Ditchburn, of Tanaqua, delivered a
highly interesting and able lecture on "How
we can help pupils 10 got their Lessons
He said that there should be a regular time
Tor such help, aud the best time was the
recitation period. He would spend good
part of the time set apart for the recitation
in showing pupils how To get the next les
son. Pupils must be taught how to study,
and this can be done best by some such
systematic plan.
Mr.. D. F. Smith spoke on the "High
School Course of Study Of Carbon County"
lie made strong plea in favor ot ntFoduc-
ing the Study Of the higher branches into
our high schools as soon as pupils are pre-
pared to take them up. He said that the
course Of study prepared by the County
| Superintendent and princiuals of the high
schools, hai 4 the effect Of raising the stand.
ard of these schools. He said he believed
that much good was accomplished by it.
Mr., T, A. Snyder, Principal of the LIE
highton Schools, also made stirring speech
in favor Of hayng pupils study the higher
branches as soon as they are prepared for
them. He said that tho course OF study for
our high schools and the diplomas that had
been prepared, had a very beneficial effect
on the schools in his charge. He said that
a number of the most advanced pupils
woulC leave school were it not Tor this
course. ....I
The last period Of the session the County
Superintendent conducted class drill in
primary arithmetic, showing how little
children should be taught the four funda-
mental rules, alter which the meeting adj
iourned. 1t was pronounced the best Local
Institute ever held in the town.
