EVENING SESSION.
On Monday evening j. w. Hibbs,
county Prothonotary and veteran
teacher who on more than one occa-
sion entered the election list for
county superintendent made the ad-
dress OF welcome in a free off hand
style. Running through the warp
and woof of his address were the
sound threads that above all the in
tellectual training, looms the moral
training, which constitutes the corn
er stone upon which to rest this the
greatest government in the world.
0. G. Gortner, principal of the
lol
fully prepared response in which he
dwelt upon the art of intellectual
teaching and the advancement yet to
be made in the schools of the state,
but he too, like the preceding speak
er, placed moral training on the high
est pedestal of the teachers profes
sion. Gortner was followed by Con
gressman Atkinson whose proverbial
modesty prevented him from nam
ing his lecture, but which the atten-
tive listener soon learned could be
properly entitled,
What to teach.
Mr.. Atkinson read his address and
in an effective way pointed out what
to teach, and among other things he
designated the foundation principles
of the government of the United
States. He said we are not owing
as many believe, to England for
these principles. We are owing to
the German for them. 1t was from
the Neatherland, the Dutchman, the
German, that we get our constitu-
tional government, Free church,
Free schools, Secret ballot. The
Declaration of Independence and SO
forth. The word Puritan that had
been SO boastfully used by certain
people III a general sense, when it
was originated, was word OF re-
proach and vas applied alike to
English, Irish, Scotch, German and
Dutch, to the class that came to Amer
lea to escape from religious persecu-
ton. When the word was applied
to a particular people it meant the
congregation of Englishmen that
went to Holland and lived there 10
years and learned government from
the Dutch and then came over IN the
Mayfower and set up government
in the woods of America the history
of which should be carefully taught
in all schools. The Doctors address
was a half hour long, he was followed
by
Professor Houck, was introduced
and in half hours pyrotechnic ad
dress ranged from complimentary re
marks on Atkinson's just tribute to
the Germans to how to make the su
perintendent mad and fill up the
house. How he came TO attend the
first institute at Port Royal, lessons
