Teachers, at this the opening OF the
Institute, let us get clear conception
of the different opportunities here Civ
en- for strengthening thecauses OF popu
lar education, in which we are all so
deeply interested.
First, by presenting to the teach
ers fundamental principles Of educa-
ton 30 that whom you return to your
schools you can make such applica-
ton thereof as your circumstances and
surroundings demand.
That the opportunities here af-
forded for professio 1al and social in
tercourse are invaluable as q means
Of infusing an educational zeal for
your profession, and that the pres
ence aud aid Of leading instructors
from abroad are helpful in the high
est sense through the contact thus
given with the best educational
thought and practice in the country
at large
From the present notable promi-
nsncs gwen to questions relating to
popular education by educators, leg
islators, and the masses, the work Of
tho teacher must soon be classed, not
only in name, but in reslity profess
ion. Then win you be remuner.ted,
for your service, as are those in the
different professions, according to
your actual worth to the profession.
The ones who are the financial sup
port Of the common schools are not
SO much, now. discussing the ques-
ton, "How much shall We give to
the support Of the common schoolr,
but how much can be utilized by the
schoolsi"
1t is the boys and girls who are
soon to be the men and women whom
the state is caring for in a pecunisry
sense, and not the teachers. The
teachers must care for themselves,
and their care for the boys and girls
physically, morally, and Intellectually
must be in such n manner that their
services will always be in demand !
and at premium.
If the teachers Of Pennsylvania by !
their we'll directed efforts, desire it |
they can have the reins of school |
Legislation largely in their hands.
Let the result of your work always
be beyond what is expected.
In the boys and girls under your
INSTRUCTION see the possibilities OF !
trus mon and women, then in your
God given powers do all that you !
can to make the possibilities reali |
IF iG in
to mould the habits of the boys and |
girls of our land aui to fit the stand |
ard of their characters. Nay it is in /
measure in ths relation existing
between teacher and pupil for you
to fix their future destiny, and rs
your success is noted, so will the leg
islators of this state iegislate for the |
support of popular education.
While making arrangements for
our institute L was governed by the /
principle. II We expect TO get much
out OF our institute We must put much
into it. In employing instructors
aud lecturers it has been our aim to
secure talent above the average, that
will give us practical work.
Teachers, ii is presumed you
ara here, really and willing to
take advantage of every op.
portunity of improving your work,
hence the Importance OF being pres
ut at the different sessions. If q
teacher leaves the room when the
institute is in session and is absent
but for an hour, during the absence,
you may miss the most valuable
thought given during the institute
Teachers, in conclusion let me urge
you to show to the gazing public, you
are earnest, faithful, and progressively
assisting US to increase the teaching
power in Junieta county and in in
spring the teachers heart with the
highest motives.
