TiGilfd Jay of the county institute

 ross Ser roll call Mir. Barnes. in
 ts3 an innovation by suggesting
 tka}asbonses to future roll calls be
 mN M quotations from various au-
 tb and further suggested that at the
 n2Foll call quotations be made from
 RPht Mir. Ray believed that all
 ouAtl9ns should be made from the
 sa tnthor.
 cf. Wollam treated the subject of
 pliciples and the infinite form of the
 yb. He believed that the various
 oalFnctions placed upon these parts epeech, their various applications x ANees rendered an understanding of hiR by younger pupils matter of
 Aehlty. The object of teaching tech
 eal grammar is to diffuse knowledge ~ the beauty and force of language,
 aofght Professor Wollam. Superin- sndent Baxter made point concern H6 lhe matter of tardiness on the part il oerlain teachers by declaring that he would accept only such excuses as the teaehers themselves would be willing to aceept from their pupils for the same onense. Here recess was taken and the members of the institute were ar 1anged in front of the city hall by Miss Elsie Reed and the group was photo Rfaphed by Mir. Hartwell.
 "What should the common school Nftempt to teach?" was question aaised by Prof. Edgar l.. Storment, and the matter was further discussed by Professors Billman, Collingwood and Ray and Miss Rhoda McEwen. The discussion was followed by vocal solo hy Mrs. E. II. Hitler, reel tation from Miss Dobbs' school and piano solo by Miss Creighton.
 Catalogued under the caption "Mis- takes" by Miss Clara Evans, were talking too much into the school room, fault finding, loss of temper. omission of voice culture, neglect of physical train ing, neglect of moral training, absence of library for the use of scholars and a failure on the part of the trustees to elect married woman to teach. A dis cussion of this subject was joined by Prsiessors Stewart, Barnes, Billman, Gully, Ray and Wollam.
 Here Superintendent Baxter ordered another roll call that the nativity of the teachers of the institute might be as- certained. His consideration for the lady memb bers deterred him from ad- ding that dates of birth were valuable as statistics.
 The roll showed them to be distribu. ted as follows;
 Maine. Virginia, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee, Arizona, Utah, Switzerland, England and Canada, each one. Massachusetts, New Jersey, In- diana, Kansas, Kentucky, each two. Three from each New York, Iowa and Missouri; five from California and nine each from Ohio and Illinois.
 The subject of school dicipline was productive of a long and rather stereo- typed discussion. The usual paper on this subject were read and the usual humane sentiments were expressed in regard to corporal punishment. When however the matter of abolition was submitted to roll call the humanita- rians who had read papers, and had done the talking were found to be in a hopeless minority. The vote stood 4O for corporal punishment to 10 against and many young ladies mindful of the perplexities occasioned by refractory pupils looked as if they were sorry the word "capital" might not be subs tituted for corporal"
 The program for today will be slight ly changed and most of the day be taken up by the organization of the ter ritorial association. The committee on resolution which was instructed to re- port this afternoon held meeting last night
