Prof Morrison lectured on history,
especially local history, saying that
history is record of mems lives, not
of battles. The object of history is
a. to quicken intelligence, (2) to I'M
prove the judgment, (3) to enlarge
the sympathies, a. to broaden the
character of life. The teaching OF
history should begin with home his
E; tory Of the present day, rather than
ancient history in the times Of Cesar
and Darius. Begin by teaching his
tory of South Carolina, and the child
will be far more interested. History
teaching may be divided into three
periods: D the story period, (2) cause
and effect period, (3) the philosophy
period. The first period belongs to
school work, and the teacher himself
I should he saturated solution" OF
the subject he wishes to teach. The
other two periods belong to college
and university work. He suggested
the following topics to the teachers in
their class room, in teaching local his
tory: O When and by whom was
this town (or county, settled; (2)
What were the first boundaries, and
what are its present boundaries? (3)
Tell all you know of the early settlers;
az Name any important historical
incidents connected with town or
county; (5) Mention present indus
tries; (6) Name town and county Of
fcers, and explain their duties.
Prof Stokes occupied his half hour
in lecturing on spelling. He thought
| it was best to combine written and
oral spelling. A word comes to US
by seeing it written or hearing It spo-
ken. Write a word on the black
board, let the pupils see it; erase it,
and have the children write it.
The exercises closed with the dox-
ology sung by the institute.

DR.. Joynes last night addressed an
appreciative audience on the English
language, which is, he said, one of
noblest origin and widest range, and
of incompatible wealth and beauty.
It was derived mainly from the
French, German, Latin, and Greek.
As the English nation adds to its
| wealth by conquest, SO the English
language borrows from other Ian
guages what it needs assimilating
them to its own use and kind. The
lecture was expressed in beautiful
language, and the tribute to the En-
gish language was grand.
School Commissioners P. G. Ben
bow and J. T. Wilder are both attend
ing the institute.
