THE HOME DOCTOR.
Breeding at the Nose.

The best remedy Tor blcedlng at the
nose, as given by DR.. Gleason at one Of
his lectures, is in the vigorous motion OF
the Jaws as in the act of chewing. IN
the case of a child a wad of paper should
be inserted to chew it hard. 1t is the
motion of the jaws that stops the TO"
of blood. This remcdyis so very simple
that many will feel inclined to laugh at
it. but it has never been known to fail
in a single instance, even in the severest
cases. So saws the Scis:ti2c american.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

od''s VI NAOuudy June ., 1000, at
10 o'clock A. NJ.
There were present
Hon. Warren E~aston, superimten
dent IF education.
Prot. j. E. Shieb. president of
the State Normal School, at Naclli
toches, La. ; and Prof. Puckettp.
The Institute was organized by
selecting Misses Clara Levron aud
Sally Beatty as secretaries.
superintendent Easton stated
the objects of the Institute, and Of
Normal schools that Normal
schools will soon se.:d teachers in
to the State to take charge of pub
lie schools unless present ones keep
themselves we'll mp with the times.
He also adverted to the necessi
ty of all teachers subscribing to
and reading educational journals.
DR.. Shieb then spoke upon the
Importance of educating teachers
A recess was taken when some 40
teachers enrolled their names as
present.
Professor Puckette then spoke
upon the study Of all subjects
through objects, aud took up geo
graphy and its various methods of
being taught, Of which he advoca
ted map drawing as the most essen
tial.
On Tuesday ten teachers appear
ed who we're not present on the
first day.
d.. Shieb spoke on.education. BE
stated that natural SUI rOnndings
develop the man and influence the
character. The mountaineer is a
strong advocate of unrestrained
liberty ; he who grows up in the
multitudes believes in the restraint
of wholesome laws.
The individual characteristics of
the man will denote the style of the
teacher under whose influence he
grew up.
Necessity compelled teachers to
arrange pupils in classes. Unless
all children were treated precisely
alike, the teacher was accused of
being unjust. The injustice was
more frequently on the other side.
The bright pupil "a often retard
ed by being kept in classes the ma
jority of whom could not keep up
with him in his studies.
Professor Pudkette then took up
the subject Of the English language
which was fast becoming the uni
versal language of the World. He
spoke of the necessity Of parents
ard teachers speaking good En-
glish at all times. "Children, he
said, "were great imitators /; they
would imitate,and use the language
of the home, tireside and table.
He advocated the use of shor,
words and short sentences, and
also, observation and much reading
He said that the English language
is q hard language to learn as il
borrowed words from all languages
with which it came in contact.
On Wednesday tho Professor.
found their stand loaded with a PR
fusion Of flowers, with which they
were so much taken that the,
could hardly be brought down t.
their regular work.
Or. Shieb spoke of the study Of
mathematics as one of the most US
full studies, as the pupil is compe
led to reason and to memorize, an
thus develope the reasoning power
!, of the mind:
u Education should be logical
new thoughts need not be required
but all reasonings should star
from surrounding objects, trol
things known to things unknown

different pronunciatiOns are heard,

The speaker was closely follow
ed i'll his lecture aud the facts which
he held up before the audience,
will doubtless cause many to
change their pronunciation Of some
words that they are accustomed to
slaughter in daily conversation.
Whilst the band played, the al
diesce dispersed to their homes.
On Thursday, Mr.. Puckette took
up the subject of object lessons,
showing how they could be made
applicable in the studies of geog-
rapby, grammar and arithmetic.
He said that objects developed
the five senses, seeing, hearing,
tasting, smelling and touching, that
they appeal to thereason Of the child.
Block letters are objects. The speak
er contended that learning the
child to explain objects led to acca
racy.
Grammar can be taught best by
diagrams. Read & Ke'loggs's gram
mar is al object teaching grammar.
Raised letters by which the blind
read through the sense OF touch,
are object lessons. Colors develop
the sight aud are useful to dis
tiuguish objects iu maps. In arith
metic, fractions, addition, Sc, are
best taught by objects. Problems
are made simple by diagrams.
Mr.. Patton then spoke upon the
study of arithmetic and explained
how it could be taught by object
lessons.
He said the first faculty Of a child
that was. developed, a that Of
memory.
Arithmetic develops the power
of reason in a child.
The whole question of arithmetic
was found in 4 rules, addition, sub
traction, multiplication and diyis
sion. He went on to explain the
benefits that the pupil could obtain
by a proper exhibition Of objects
by the teacher. especially in the Ca
culations of fractions.
The learned speaker elucidated
his ideas very plainly and rendered
his subject clear and explicit.
He received the closes attention
of his hearers.
Some time Was then taken up in
answering questions and III desu
tory conversation between thu
speakers aud the teachers.
The last days proceedings were
opened by Prof. Shieb, who spoke
on the discipline and government
; in schools, and threw out many gu,
: g~esticns that teachers may fine
practicable in the management o
pupils.
: The Institute was drawing to

After this the reader would have
no desire to peruse 10 cent novels,
but would grasp for every book
that he could get hold Of.
To the question, asked by II Of
the teachers, allow can we make
lazy pupils study !" DR. Shieb sad
hs would give IA reply at the next
session.
To the question, elbow can We
teach drawing without a black
board,' the answer was, Get "a

Professor Patton then spoke up
Oh the new method Of teaching the
primary reading by the use of Oh
jects; teaching the pupils words
and not letters.
This was something new to the
teachers aud audience aud attrac
ted close and earnest attention.

At S o'clock p. NJ. an audience
of more than 800 people ass mbIed
in the Hall. After music by the
colored band, that volunteered its
services, Mr.. Shieb spoke upon the
subject of education. His lecture
was concise, elegant, forcible and
argumentative. He said, that in
this age, we must educate to make
and elevate the man and the wo
man, No delay or stop in education
could be permitted ; either would
bring corruption or ruin. Progress
must be maintained ; the higher
classes must bring mp the lower
ones otherwise, the former will fall
back to the level of. the latter. L.
norance, vice and crime go hand il!
hand together, 1t is cheaper, and
easier to build school houses and
III iptain schools, than it is to erect
jails aud prisons and maintain them
The audience listened with close
attention to the learned speaker
and at his close expressed its syn
patty with the thoughts of the Lee
turer, by applause and congratu!.
tions.
After the band had played seve
al excellent pieces professor PUCK
cite, addressed the audience on til,
subject Of spelling. Some II
years ago he said a society hat
been formed in Philadelphia to r.
form the spelling of the Englisl
language.
He said the present En- glish ha
26 letters of the alphabet and 4
sounds. This society proposes t
increase the letters to sc, and t
diminish the sounds to sc. The
each letter would represent one di'
tinct sound, aud each sound woul /
be given by one distinct letter.
He then went on gin an instru
tive and amusing style, to sho'
!, the difficulty Of learning to spe
and pronounce the English ft
which no laws could be made
overcome its singular and peculis
methods. English had been b.
