SATURDAY MORNING SESSION.
The Institute convened at 9.3O
nearly all the teachers being present.
The exercises began with drill in
peEmanship by Prof. Brintnall. who
formed the teachers into a class and
gave very fine class drill in the above
branch. Prof. Brintnall wrote some
very beautiful words upon the black
board for the pupils to copy.
Miss l.. +. Browne then gave IL class
drill in Percentage" The pupils a,-
quilted themselves very creditablv thus
proving Miss Brownies excellence as
an instructor.
A motion was then made to estab.
IA query box" after which a discns-
sion followed on moral Training y
Reference was also made as to whether
the Bible or the Lords Prayer should
be read in our Common Schools.
Miss Bailey next followed with an
interesting paper on How to Econo.
mize Time" Miss Bailey said tina,
however able to economic tim,
in school work, she failed to economic,
time outside of school hours, sufficient
; to do the subject justice. She sale
that upon entering an ungradct
school she divided the pupils into
three dlvisions-primary, intermedi
l ate and grammar, and, so far as prac
I ticable, she seated each division b,
4 ITSELF, because she thought the teache
l better enabled to give blackboard ex
S ercises suitable to the grade. Sh,
S also avoided having more than ON
class, if possible, in the same book
: she thought that the written arithme
tic classes could have their work al
d ready written out and ready to explain
;, in the class, thus saving time. Sh
l. thought also that the work done b.
the pupils would give healthier men
+ tai growth than if too much help wa
o given by the teacher.
r Miss Stevens followed with an elo
g quent address on the subject of CAS-
Y tronOmy. She said that Astronom
o was one Of the oldest sciences, as W
t read in the bible. She remarked upo
d the great importance of the sun to tn
earth. She gave short description {
d the solar system, describing each plar
:. ct quite infinitely. She illustrated tn
n conjunction, opposition and gradrs
l. ture of the planets by chart exel
n else. She also stated that she woul
d give an exercise in the sciences to PIT
J. pills as a reward for good done as we
It rs for the development of the mors
h and mental qualities. She advised tn
teachers to study the heavens oftene
r as it would bring them nearer to til
e Creator and make them better me
d and women.
r At the conclusion of Miss Steven
c address, Mrs. Hale was greatly SUI
It prised by Miss Moore approaching he
e and in neat little speech on beha
y OF the teachers present, presente
r Mrs. Hale with beautiful gojd-line
silver cup and saucer and individu;
" salt, pepper and butter service. Mr.
Hale, very much affected with EN-,
r. ton. replied in few very appropriat
O words.
