THE TEACHERS AT WORK.
What They Did at the Institute,
Afternoon and Evening.

The High School department of the
Rhode Island Institute Of instruction be
gan its session yesterday afternoon at Y. NJ
&. A. Hall. Mrs. William w. Curtis who
presided over the meeting introduced Sell
Ian j. Tuck, teacher of English in the Paw
tucket High School, as the first speaker
He spoke on the subject of English
in the High School" as follows !:
The teaching of English in the High
School is not a question of what ought TO
be done, but of what can be done. For a
teacher TO speak i'll of the work done in
the lower schools is unjust. From Is to
20 per cent. of these pupils write and
spell incorrectly, 80 per cent write with
ordinary force, while the remainder write
with an ability above the average. The
mechanism of our schools is such that all
the pupils are Obliged to do certain
amount of work in certain time. The
brightest ones cannot be taught especially
for there are examinations to be passed
and certain amount of study TO be ac-
complished.
English i'm the High School teaches us
to write our own language iluently and
with meaning and also To open the field TO
literature Many teachers require their
pupils to write n certain number of essays
n year, while some have the newspaper
plan" that is to write an item daily, but
this should not take the place of the com
position. In my school eight essays "A year
are required
An Informal discussion on the various
points in the essay then took place, brief
remarks being made by Miss Doyle aud
Miss Dodge Of the High school, and others
recess of few minutes was then
taken after which the audience moved
down into the lower hall where Mr. Viii
liam &. Collar, head master Of the Rox-
bury Latin school was introduced lie
spoke on the subject OF Shall German be
Taught in the High School and How"
He said: "This question seems To be
double and So ! viii take IL up i'm two
parts As TO the first | should answer de
cidedly. yes But there are conditions
which limit the answer The introduc-
ton of German should not OvercrOwd or
overload the course already prescribed. IL

consequently some subject would have TO
bc eliminated. in regard to which there is
much difficulty. But in the present
course there has been the elimina-

framed the course can testify. IL I was

Being "A Democrat, | naturally have no love
for Republican clubs, but reading the commu-
nication last night of Little Lean Envelope" ;"
| could but admire the pluck and tenacity Of
purpose which he exhibits, and through your
columns would like 10 say TO him that such
characteristics belong 90 the party made fam
Gus by jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland; so
pause, misguided youth and cast in your lot
with the party that recognizes merit, even as

in YOU that pluck and sturdness which |
grieve to see devoted to the party of selfshness
and oppression, More ballots anon.
