The instructors were Professor Follans-
bee, of Olympia, and Professor Taylor and
Professor Jones, of Seattle.
Professor O. s. Jones, in opening the in
stitute. gave short address, calling atten-
ton to its objects, the work to be accom-
plished during the eight days session and
the Importance of prompt and regular
daily attend ance
Professor Taylor gave q lengthy but
highly interesting lecture upon Mistakes
in Teaching" He said that teachers made
mistakes in managing, in discipline, in
method and in manner. 1t was q mistake
ne said, to neglect the details of school
management, to overlook yard supervision,
to hold aloof from the pupils, to resort to
cruel punishment, to stand too near the re-
citation class, to be continually REFRESHING
the activity of childhood, to give too
many merit marks, to censure trif1ing
errors too severely, to grumble and COM
plain too much, to allow pupils to whisper
on the grounds of helping each other, to
allow disorder in school halls during recess
and to confound giving evidence with tale-
bearing.
Professor Follansbee gave an interesting
talk upon the subject of the state constitu-
ton. The Federal constitution, he said,
should be studied previous to q study of
the state constitution, the former being the
foundation of all state constitutions. The
history and the geography of state were
also essential requisites of perfect knowl-
edge of the constitution.
