SEES were very Interesting. III n
began in earnest yesterday Tues
day, 10Th }, about IS teachers being
present. All the instructors from
abroad who had agreed to be pres
ent were on hand and took part in
the DAYS work. These were Capt.
Douglass, sup't of the Gallatin pub
lie schools; Prof S. N. Mynders,
president of the Masonic Institute
at Huntsville; Prof. w. r. Garrett
Of Montgomery Bell Academy,
Nashville; Prof. Frank Goodman of
Goodman's Business College, and
Prof. inc. L. Lampson of the State
Normal. Besides these the local
teachers also presented ard dis
cussed subjects. Prof. Goodman
has attended these Institutes for
years, but says he has never seen
more interest manifested on the
FIRST day. This is indeed encourag-
ing as it is the first Of a series Of
state institutes arranged by state
sup't, Frank M. Smith"
We can give only a synopsis OF
the work. The institute was in SEES
sion from Monday night till Friday
night and consisted Of II sessions.
The opening exercises on Monday
night consisted of song and prayer
by Rev. j. B. Anderson, a few in
troductory remarks by Sup't Zuc-
carello, an address of welcome by
Mr.. Laps. D. McCord and pleasant
response by Capt. Douglass, after
which Profs Mynders, Lampson and
Goodman made short addresses
concerning the origin and object OF
state normal institutes. The morn
ing and evening session during the
day and the entertainments at night
were all opened with song and
prayer. The day session consisted
of normal work and the night en-
tertalnments of vocal and instru-
mental music, readings and popular
addresses. Capt. Douglass series
of lectures ON school management
were highly entertaining and in
structive. He discussed all the
minor points from common sense
standpoint and met all inquiries
from the teachers with logical and
practicable answer. His address
Wednesday night on progressive
education was also very eloquent
and impressive. Prof. Mynders'
lectures on reading, spelling and
language lessons were full of practi-
cal methods. He fully convinced
his hearers that the new education
by means of the word method and
object lesson was far superior to
any other in teaching language
His address On Thursday night was
also highly entertaining. Prof.
Lampson's practical talks and il
Illustrations on geography fully ex
planned several effective methods Of
teaching this important study.
Prof's Goodman and Bodenhamer's
blackboard work add illustrations
on penmanship were beautiful.
Capt. W. R. CARROTS address, the
upbuildiDg of the U. S, on Tuesday
night was the most mastery and
scholarly illustration of history ever
presented to a Pulaski audience.
The discussions on mathematics
were quite interesting. The partic
ipants were Rev. j. b. Anderson, r.
P. Yancy, Sam and H. G. Aberna-
