PRIMARY READING.

Miss Harris was the first speaker of
the morning also. Her subject was
primary reading. The phonic method

too advanced for the pupil of the prim-
ary grade.
'.upc rintendent Howell, of the Scran-
;hn schools, built a geographical house
for the teachers such as he constructed
before the Sisters institute at St.
Thomas college last sum- one of
the strong points of his adv ice was to
let the pupil depend upon himself.
DR.. Bateson gave an address on the
effects of stimulants and narcotics on
the human stomach, liver and kidneys.
suffice it to say his stress on this sub
ject was strong enough for the most
critical. The doctor is an ardent Pro
hibitionist.
DR.. Smith resumed his talk begun
the day before the Reality Prin-
ciple in Education" There is but one
exact science, he said, in the depart
ment Of human learning and that is
pure mathematics. There is nothing
in it of the latitude found in litera-
trre. We should read books for what
they contain and not because they are
written by a certain author.
The institute will close today at
noon. DR.. Smith, Miss Harris and
Rev. Elkanah Hulley, of Keystone
Academy, of Factoryville, will be the
speakers. The committee on resolu-
tons will present its report.
