THURSDAY A. NJ.
Usual opening exercises. The read
ing from Whittier was continued and
the conductor spoke at some length
upon the patriotism of the public
school. 1t was the patriotism learned
in the little red school.houses of the
North that saved the country in 1861
81.
Spelling reform was touched upon.
With all our talk of needed reform,
we are loyal to the English language;
it is to be the language of the world;
no other can reach the masses with
such directness.
A plea was made for the use of the
metric system instead of the awk-
ward system the country is so loath
to give up. The use of metric tables
would save q year or two of time
which could be %protitably spent upon
something else.

the finished lecturer, conviction of
the need of reform along this line of
teaching and a most carefully pre-.
pared lecture, Mr.. Devine held his
audience spell. bound. He outlined
the history of this country from the
coming of the Pilgrims (Round
heads) to the north and the james.
town colony (Cavaliers) to the south,
to the close of the civil war, showing
how all along each thought and acted
according to preconceived English
ideas and according to previous Eng.
fish ideas, and that the civil war was
really American Roundhead against
American Cavalier. Mr.. Devine

FRIDAY A.. NJ.
Music, etc.
MI. Clemmer said teachers should
teach their pupils to know and love
patriotic songs.
The reading lesson consisted of ar.
ticles on Whittier's early life. 1t is
not always a misfortune when a
studious child has acces to but few
books; he will seek knowledge else
where and become a close observer of
nature.
Following intermission, Mr.. Finger
conducted an interesting physiology
lesson.
Arithmetic was considered during
the last period of the morning. Supt,
Clark gave his division some excel.
lent ideas on methods of teaching pri.
mary numbers.
Owing to lack of space, we arc UNI
able to give a full report of the after
noon session which closed the weeks
work. This has been a most profta'
BILE week to the. teachers and all fee!
that they have learned many things
which will enable them to do better
work than before. There have been
no instructors from away and it ha:
been demonstrated that the material
at hand is better than that imported
for some previous Institutes. Con.
ductor Clemmer and Supt. Clark have
done their work wisely and well.
