Of the High School,. the teachers In
stitute Of Wilmington wont into ses-
sion. Hardly ever before In the his-
tory OF Delaware was such an array 4,
OF talent assembled together and
without fiattery, Il may be added OF

tention.
"The Reading OF Teachers" was the
subject OF an able and foreible lecture
delivered by DIR. A. Il. Manship. OF
Boston. editor OF the Journal OF Edu-
cation.
DR.. Manship said that the reading Of
| teachers ought to be divided Into three
paris. First, how much they read; sec.
ond. what they read; third. how they
read.
He said there are people who sing
with exactness and yet It never touches
your or my soul. He wanted the
teachers to be growing through their
reading. 1t Is very natural and easy
| to read that which we enjoy. But
that is not the test OF teachers read
Ing. The teacher should ask herself
what she ought to read and not what
she wants to read.
Reading Is like what ID known rs
| pacing on the track. He wanted the
| teachers to get their pace. He wanted
every teacher to have something at
hand at all times to read which to
save her life she does not like. Trying
to fGthom and to grasp at such thtngsl
as we do not like to read, Ia what
made DR.. Harris what he Is to day
He hoped never again to hear Q
teacher speak tho words that she had
to work too hard or had no time to
read. He believed the teachers OF this
country were blessed with as good
hours as any other class OF workers OF
the present day.
