TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

cannot be gainsaid are what pays. 1t
,s not the discount you do that makes
YOU strong. 1t is exceedingly difficult
TO teach children unless you teach
them facts historically. He showed
many objects illustrating the different
processes Of manufacturing. An ari,h-
metic written in 1916, with very cur
ious problems, Indian relics to yet
pupils interested in Indian history.
Experimental science with home.
made apparatus for our common
schools was discussed by Prof Russell
of the Millville Seminary. In the
first place teachers should have some
experimental knowledge of these sub
iects and then it will be both profit
able and interesting to teach in our
public schools with home made ap.
paratus. Children should be taught
to observe and have them examine SO
that they fully understand the expert
ments.
"Sweet BY and By" was sung and
then Prof Sperry spoke on the science
and art of successful living. More
colds are taken from over eating or
want of exercise than by draughts of
air. Dyspeptics sometimes come to
me wondering why they feel so badly
after being SO careful of their diet,
eating no pastry, drinking no tea nor
coffee yet if these same men would
90 to work in the woods they might
eat fat pork, drink black coffee and
eat solid biscuit and perhaps feel none
the worst of it. Fresh air with exer-
else is the best medicine Worry lays
the foundation of disease. Never
worry about what you cannot help and
never worry about what you can help
are the two best doses for the wearing
away OF pleasant life. We want a
recognition of all Gods laws a scien-
tihc, practical common sense hygiene.
Socrates once said to some young
men: 81 have no time to talk with
you for what you are speaks louder
than you can"
Supt. Johnston made some sugges-
tons and the Institute adjourned
TUESDAY EVENING.
TIE exercises opened with a solo
by Prof. Parker, piano Duet by
Misses Rose Haas and Ella Stump,
and DR.. Levin Irwin Handy, the lee
turer Of the evening, then in most
amable manner told what he could in
two hours of Patrick Henry. In con
trasting the lives of Geo. Washington
and Patrick Henry we find them both
brave, noble and patriotic, but while
Washington caused a pause and 81
lence to fall over a company of child,
ren, Henry was their most trusted
friend, their best playfellow. The
former rose step by step as the nations
father and greatest statesman, the lat
ter by a single bound took rank with
the greatest orators this world ever
knew. We cannot lie down to sleep
one thing and wake up another. Pat
rick Henry had his failures as well as
all arduous youth must have, but he al
so shared in the successes that awaits
all such. He took to reading anc
when man takes TO reading seriously
he touches a door which swings or
golden hinges. Eloquence is not act
ing wherever there is sublime emo
ton there the spark of eloquence be
gins.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The teachers were assembled in two
sections this morning. In the Oper;
House Rev. Mr.. Brandt read a part o
the 9TH chapter Of Matthew and led IL
prayer.
DR.. Denote was greeted with {
hearty applause as he stepped on th'
rostrum to resume his practical IN
structions on success in life. He salC
success means sacrifice. Teacher
need to sacrifice first, caprice for ca
pacity; second, leisure for labor third
dissipation for self discipline, ant
fourth sham for sincerity. "There'
room for a soul to grow, and In
bound to climb" exclaimed a boy a

Singing was INDUCED in for som
time with a marked interest, Prof.
Parker conducting.
