The Hunterdou County Teachers In
siiiute met at the Court House on Mon
day morning. 1t was called TO order by
Superintendent Hoffman, who, after the
singing OF s'America, made a brief but
appropriate address.
DE-. Seeley, of the State Normal School,
gave the first talk on "The Teacher. "
He believes that the teacher makes the
school, and that II our schools are to adj
vance the teachers must keep away ahead
of them and try TO draw the pupils up to-
ward the teachers standard.
Prof. Will s. Monroe, of Boston, talked
next en- "First Steps in Geography" He
believes that the child should first learn of
geography from just what he sees about
him. The child can readily understand
what river is, IL he is made to see that it
is only big brook what mountain is,
if he sees it in imagination as an encr-
nous hill; what lake is, IL he knows
that it is only an extensive pond. In
German schools they take the children
out into The fields and forests and study
geography from nature.
DIR. Seeley closed the exercises Of the
morning with Correlation Of Studies. )"
He believes that education is whole, and
that the various branches should be taught
as a unit While we are teaching geoara-
ply we can teach language; while we
are teaching arithmetic we may also teach
ease and readiness of expression.
At 1880 p. NJ. DR.. Seeley talked on
i" How to Give Recitation" 1t is his
opinion that teachers waste good deal
of time because they do not understand
this important subject. We must man.
age to keep the class interested. Objects
are good, but there has been tendency
to carry object teaching to excess. We
should review frequently. Things may
not be as clear to the child as we think
they are.
AT this point sixteen primary pupils
from Reading Academy gave pleasing
exhibit of the amusement work-for such
we venture to call Il because 1t Is some
thing of both-done in that institution.
The little folks sang, "Come, Little
Leaves" and played the Butterfly "
very nicely.
Prof. Monroe took up the uses of
Geographical Helps" He would begin
his series of helps with the globe. Give
the child TO understand that the earth is a
whole. Then use wall maps, and, later,
relief maps. The last may be made from
paper pulp and may be an efficient means
of education.
The roll call showed lat teachers pres
ent, number probably never exceeded
in the county.
DR.. Seeley then talked on Discipline. 2"
He would make few rules aud make them
only as the need arose; then he would
enforce them. But he would use the
least punishment that would accomplish
the desired results.
Prof. Monroe occupied the closing period
with talk on Professional Reading"
He does not believe that teachers do
enough of this. If they would push their
calling to place among learned profess
sions, they must become professional.
In the evening the Court House was
crowded TO hear some fine music by local
talent and good lecture by Prof. Mon
roe on "German, French and English
Schools, Compared with Our own"
