a feature of Tuesdays work was the
introduction of a class of small children
and their instructions in the first steps
in number work, etc., as sample class
of beginners. 1t is not intended to make
the institute place to find out how
much ana how little the teachers know,
but TO draw them out, to let them ask
questions and state the difficulties they
meet with In every day school work.
While. at the same time, they are receiv-
ing tho most valuable hints and sugges-
tions as to the best methods and princi
pies from the conductor.

At the roll call this forenoon, num-
ber OF teachers, by previous request. on
responding to their names, gave at the
same time sentiment. AS will be OBJ
served, many of these sentiments were
taken from Prof. Ogden's lecture of last
evening and give an idea of the value of
the thoughts presented by the lecturer,
as we'll as the close attention given him
by the audience. The following are some

When the mind has reached the sum
NIT of its theme, it ceases to ascend
1T is wicked to be a fool mot an idiot
but fool.''
