Tuesday at Montesano.
The Chehalis county normal institute
opened Monday morning with an enroll.
ment OF fifty-two, which had by noon
reached fifty-seven. County superin-
tendent White made few remarks upon
the work in progress, extended to the
teachers cordial welcome and insisted
upon regular and prompt attendance
on the part of each and requested the co.
operation of all.
Professor Bryant, of the Aberdeen
schools, then conducted recitation in
compound proportion, which was en-
tered into with considerable enthusiasm.
Most attention was given to the analyti-
cal method; however. the method of
cause and effect was discussed only to a
limited extent.
The Recitation was then taken up by
superintendent White. The greatest
features were grouped under two points,
viz: The prime and secondary object.
photography was treated by Professor
Williams. A written spelling exercise
was given the teachers and some atten-
ton devoted to rules in spelling.
school-law, especially regarding re-
ports of teachers, was discussed in
forcible manner and commanded the
closest attention Of the teachers.
The most interesting feature of the day
was recitation in reading by Professor
Williams, of Montesano. This was fol-
Lowell bv the general summing up of all
points introduced by class, instructor
and c.iterians. Professor Williams de-
Tended his methods systematically, ener-
getically and proftably.
Tuesday morning the work was taken
up as designated by the program except
that in place OF Current Events" by
Professor Williams an address on "Com-
position in Art" by Mr.. streeter, which
he illustrated by means OF the use of
lines and angles.
Superintendent White read very in
teresting, able and instructive compost
ton on "The Will" The paramount re-
marks were, as summed up, in the fol-
lowing: The will may direct the eye by
reproduction; before it can act it must
have an incentive to act and that incen-
tive must have motive, and this is
produced by feeling
"Proft and Loss" was treated by Pro-
lessor Bryant under the fractional method.
This was entered into with zest on the
part Of the teachers, and all think Mr..
Bryant advances good methods for

fessor Williams in a similar manner as il
nas treated on Monday. On Tuesday
afternoon Professor Williams gave some
excellent ideas to the teachers concerns

lesson in numbers by Professor Bryant,
\ with class of children.
A lecture was delivered Tuesday even
ing by Rev. McMullen, his subject being
elbow to Teach Patriotism in the Public
Schools" which was largely attended
and we'll received. Patriotism, he said,
was love of home, and the advantages
Of America and Americans leads her citi-
zens to love their country.
A very interesting feature OF the even
ing was the musical lart OF the program.
"Gypsy Life" was we'll sung by Messrs.
Jameson, CLARK, Graf, Swinson, and
Mrs. Jameson, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Thomas
and Miss Jameson. A duet, "The Pilot, y

and one also by Rev. and Mrs. Claypool
entitled moonlight on the Rhine"
Wednesday morning Superintendent
White made an interesting talk on
"Habit," making many good points
which were freely discussed and variously
classed as to their Importance by the
teachers.
