engaged with spirit in the singing of such
selections as Come With Thy Lutte"
Wed Better Bide a Wee"
Prof. Lowrey then called attention to
reading of IN advanced grade.
One of the most interesting features of
the session was a class in geography in
structed by Miss Minnie Dewey. In a
clear and logical manner she led her pupils
to understand the imaginary lines drawn
upon the surface of the globe, and by the
inductive method of reasoning she ena-
bled them to form the definitions for
themselves.
Attera recess of five minutes Prof.
Lowrey resumed the arithmetic of the
previous day, discussing the question
which troubles many outside of the school
room-that of borrowing.
Orthography was then taken up by Mr..
G. Cudebec. This gentleman has rem
dered good service to the institute in yari-
Gus ways.

Prof. Allen opened the afternoon institute
with singing, DIR. Quinby presiding at the
piano. After the singing Prof. Allen
gave a mastery lesson on the relation of
tone to feeling.
Prof. Lowrey then entertainingly pre-
sented the subject of composition writing.
Pens and paper were now distributed
among the children" and the writing
lesson began. Prof. Churchill endeav-
ored to make the is of his pupils more
perfect, and then turned his attention to
the us.
After a talk or The Science of Teach
ing" by Prof. LowreY. Miss Ella j. Ad-
IN read an essay on "a Few Common
place Points in Every day Use in School"

sustained Miss Adams high reputation as
a teacher and a disciplinarian, provoking
some interesting discussion.

ness in Education" by Miss Laura
Shuttle. Miss Shuttle is especially to be
complimented for good thought well ex-
pressed and for her excellent delivery.

Bergman added much to the enjoyment
of those who attended Rev. A. w. Will
lians' lecture at the First Presbyterian
church last evening. As on previous
evenings, Prof. Pasmore and Mr.. Simons
favored the audience with piano and cello
selections.
The Life and Philosophy of Socrates
was the subject of the popular and learned
Congregational pastors discourse, and it
was a very able effort. Socrates was per
haps the most enlightened of ancient
philosophers, and his beliefs hold good
to-day. He had exalted ideas OF true
manhood, and taught as he thought and
practiced. The lecture on SO interesting
a topic could not fail to be listened to
with marked attention.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 80. -Representa-
tive Gallinger has completed his minority
report upon the result of the inyestiga
ton of the printing committee into the

and able, and declares that enough viola
tons of the law and evidences of incompe.
tencY have been shown by the testimony
to warrant the immediate removal from
