CITY TEACHERS.
The Institute Yesterday Was a
Most Interesting Che.

ing yesterday morning beginning
at 3 o'clock.
After devotional exercises the su-
offered suggestions rela-
ting to school room work treating
principally:
First of ven.ila;ion-which he de-
clsred should be attended to by the
teacher, always, and not by the pu-
pills.
Second: Reports of the progress and
proficiency Of pupils from the teachers
to parents.
Third, the value Determinations.
Fourth, the evils arising from de-
tanning pupils after school.
Fifth, the preparation by the
teacher of the daily work, so that
study, examinations and Rotations
all would be effective.
Sixth, of penmanship.
Of course only the briefest refer
ence to each point was made, but
something practical, something that
would actually apply to the work in
the school room was offered.
He concluded his talk with
an earnest plea for noble sincerity in
all the works and conduct of the
teachers, urging them - care nothing
for appearance, for mere show, but
to care only for what the pupils
actually were.
Miss Hattie Lyon Of eighth grade
Broadway then gave a violin solo,
that was much appreciated. She has
true musical talent of high order,
and plays with great skill and taste.
Then followed the reading lesson in
which all the institute participated
The lesson consisted of three selections
from Tennyson, and for forty min
utes there was an active and earnes
interest minifesied in Bagdad
Haroun Al X. .chied, The Pet and TIT
Lady of Shalott. These mystic
poems called forth an expression o
many opinions and the lesson close
with general regret that it could no
last longer.
Mss Wannamaker then conducted
a class exercise in music using tn
pupils of the first grade in the Sout
West Sedalia school as class. In
earnestness and attention of tn
little ones we're very beautiful an'
they did splendidly, so did a class o
eight boys from Miss Van Antwerp
room in Broadway. They sang thre
selections and greatly delighted tn
teachers. The work done by the IN
PRODUCTION of music in our school
, cannot be easily estimated, but 1t rs
! glaldened the hearts and lightene
many difficult tasks.
