THE SECOND DAY.
Increased Attendance Upon the
Institute,
A Brief Summary of the Proceed
ings Yesterday.
Prof. Chas. E. LOwrey's Lecture
In the Evening.

The attendance upon the teachers in
stitute was larger Yesterday than during
the opening session and will increase
from day to day as the educators return
from their chosen summer resorts. Every
thing is now in good working order and
there are nc delays. There is not SO much
pleasure to be derived from attendance
upon a county institute as at the terri
torial gatherings, but better results are
attained. Large bodies move slowly and
the same is true of large institutes. The
engagement of a conductor was a happy
thought.
Yesterday morning the subject Of read
ing was presented in detail by Prof.
Lowrey. In the discussion on the subject
which followed Prof. Churchill and sew
eral others took part.
Miss WAR gave a practical and interest
ing lesson in drawing as taught in the
public schools.
In a short lesson in arithmetic Prof.
Lowrey evidenced his familiarity with this
rather prosaic but very useful branch.
The morning session was closed by an
illustrated discourse on physiology by
DR.. w. A. Wyman. The subject was
ably handled and the short lecture was
keenly enjoyed.
In the afternoon music was conducted
by Prof. Allen. His school method is
said to be an excellent and practical one.
Language was treated by Prof.
Lowrey, whose ideas on English grammar
are fully up to the times.
Many profitable suggestions for the
teaching of penmanship were made by
Prot. j. o. Churchill in his dissertation
on that subject.
Miss Kate Davis essay, Large Schools
VS.. Small" gave that lady's views on the
subject in a clear cut, crisp and refresh
ing style.
Miss Minnie Walker built a model
school on paper before the afternoons ad-
iournment of the institute. If all schools
conformed to her ideal the work of teach
ing would indeed be a pleasure.
Prof. Chas. E. Lowrey's lecture, de
lyercd to a small, but appreciative audi.
ence at the Presbyterian church last even
ing, was a scholarly effort. 1t was a con-
else, splendidly written review of the au-
TYPOGRAPHY of Thomas Platter, with a
truthful picture of student life and educa-
tional experiences in the seventeenth CEN
fury. 1t is a pity that Prof. Lowery's
delivery was not quite up to the mark for
a public speaker. This defect, however,
did not detract from the merits of the lee
ture nor mar the pleasure of the listeners.
Prof. Lowrey lisa philosopher, a deep and
bold thinker and that his lecture should
have been SO SHINY attended, is a sad
commentary on the Cheyenne world of
letters.
