seed. Teach a child to have respect


go as to enable them to see the bright
side of things. We have something
to do with filing jails, reformatories
and houses of refuge. The teacher
is good book for children to follow;
the teacher. therefore, should make
himself worthy. In closing his adj
dress the Prof. used the quotation :
But when a :rony takes your hand,
At parting to address you,
lie drops all foreign lingo
And says, Good by, God bless you.''
Singing.
DR.. Albro addressed the Dircc-
tors during the next period. Sala-
ries is the first thing with which Di.
rectors have to deal. Good teach
ers are not paid enough; poor teach
ers are paid too much. Get the very
best teacher for the money however.
Scholarship is a good guide for Di-
rectors to follow a teacher who is
weak in scholarship is weak in every
thing else. 1t is one thing to know
a subject, and another thing to know
it well enough to teach it. There is
great service in stability of service
therefore keep a teacher in the same
position year after year. Teachers
who know they are going to leave at
The end of the term, do not do as
sood work as they would if they
knew they were going to stay. Tea
chers make mistake when they
iioat from one place to another.
Pennsylvania is lavishing the use of
money for public schools it should
be used for the advancement of the
school and not for the lessening of
taxes. Teaches do not recognize
in the Directors an official assistant.
Directors could give young teachers
encouragement. Directors should
inspect the school ut least once a
year. Teachers should visit direc-
tors and try to get them interested
in the school. We do rot need ex-
pensive apparatus in the public
school but there are some things we
must bave, however, such as good
black boards, globes etc. We need
longer school term. Other states
have longer school term than the
grand old keystone State. Let us
get into harmony with the spirit of
government in New York as relative
to school work.
FRIDAY MORNING.
AT 8 O'Clock institute opened by
singing, "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Name" Roll call.
DR.. Albro--Work. We cannot
transfer knowledge that we have in
our mind to any other, the art Of
teaching is the art of stimulating and
guiding self effort. The most skil>
full teacher is one who dose not try
to communicate knowledge; the
work must he done by the pupil
Your success as teacher depends
on how much you can make the
pupil work to educate without look
ing is the same us teaching blind
man To see. Stimulate interest in
the good things around you. With>
out good order ~ teacher can not do
good work school should be rest
full not tiresone. So arrange your
program as to keep every one busy.
Just as soon as teacher thinks he is
educated, he is going back, and he
ceases to be leader. Aim to secure
q higher education. If you cannot
attend school, there are plenty of
books :l,at can be had without much
effort.
