Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon Miss Grau favored the
institute with piano solo, which was
rendered with taste and expression.
Then followed the most pleasing
"Mikado Fan Drill, - in costume, grace
fully executed by the pupils of the Sacra-
nento Grammar School, under the di-
Tection of Miss Emma Hughes.
Miss Alice Dippel recited the District
SCHOOL, so effectively that the younger
schoolgirls pitied her deeply They had
been through it all themselves.
THE BEGINNING OF LITERATURE IN
THE PRIMARY GRADES"
By Mr.. Fisher, was one of the most in
teresting addresses of the institute. At
ter defining the difference between the
study of literature and English, Mr..
Fisher gave list Of the articles with
which he would familiarize the pu-
pils-Irving's short stories, Longfel-
lows "Evangeline," and later Tenny-
sons "Enoch Arden" and others.
BY pursuing such studies q taste for
good literature might be formed, which
would rob the many trashy books of their
charm.
OTHER MATTERS.
There was a paper read regarding the
pensioning of teachers, telling how in
other countries, after life spent in the
schoolroom, they are given a small allow
ance, and the advantages of such a system
were portrayed.
Superintendent B. f. Howard made
plea for library TO be placed in every
schoolbuilding, both city and country.
j. ii. Pond continued the thought. and
Mrs. 4. B. Purnell spoke in praise of the
class of 81, who had sacrificed the pur-
chase of a class emblem in order to place
needed books in the High School library.
