to a marked degree, and the Institute
he will bring to Smyrna next month,
will be one of the finest combinations
he has ever gotten together. Surely
the testimonials give every feature of
the three days entertainment, high
recommendation. The day exercises
will include the following instructors:
The Institute Instructors.
Wednesday, November 15th-Supt.
Henry Houck, assistant State superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania Public
Schools, will lead the list. Supt.
HOuck is one of the witty takers, who
made such hit in Smyrna three or
four years ago. The other speaker of
the day will be DIR. John B. DeMotte,
of Bryn Mawr, Pa. a scientifc-socio-
logical lecturer of recognized ability
wherever he goes.
Thursday, November 16th-will be
taken up, both morning and afternoon
session by Supt. o. T. Corson, State
Superintendent of Ohio; and Joseph
B. Walton, ex-Superintendent of the
Chester County Pennsylvania Schools,
former professor in the West Chester
State Normal School, and now princi-
pal of the Friends School at Philadel-
phia. Both men are lecturers in de-
maEd wherever they go.
Friday, November 17th-will be
taken up entirely by DIR. NJ. G. Brum-
baugh, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and Mrs. Miller, lecturer of
considerable prominence in New York
State on mature Study in the Public
Schools" In fact she is employed to
lecture at the different county insti-
tutes, and comes to Smyrna highly
recommended. DIR. Brumbaugh needs
no Introduction to a Smyrna audience.
He is an institution in himself, and
there is no doubt but what he will be
greeted with crowded houses.
The Evening Entertainments.
Superintendent Tindal has selected
his evening entertainments this year
with much care, and a study of the
talent he has secured, shows the three
nights entertainment to be a combi-
nation that should merit the attention
of every lover of education.
DR.. John B. DeMotte is one of the
most entertertaining and instructive
takers in the lecturing bureau. His
subject on the Wednesday night of the
Institute will be "The Harp of the
Senses, or the Secret of Character
Building"
Thursday evening, Bishop Charles
H. Fowler, of the Methodist Episcopal
church, has been secured. He needs
no introduction. As a lecturer, he
has long since occupied a unique posi-
tion as a platform speaker. He will
lecture either on abraham Lin
cOln," or "Great Deeds of Great
Men. Bishop Fowler is just in his
prime, and is the greatest orator on
the American platform to-day. On
the evenings of DeMotte's and
Bishop Fowler's lectures, Watkin's S
popular Orchestra, of this town, will
discourse music.
The last night, Friday night, will be
devoted entirely to the Rogers-Grilley
Recitals. Mr. VanVeachton Rogers is
one of the greatest harp soloists in this
country. He has been under the re-
moved masters of Europe, and has been
associated with such artists as Melba,
Nordica and other musical celebrities.
Mr. Charles T. Grilley is unquestlon-,
ably a most popular entertainer, and
his impersonations win him plaudits
wherever he goes. Every citizen
should take advantage of this rare op'
portunity, and buy course ticket tol
the two lectures and recital-the three
nights entertainment, including a re
served seat for $1.00.
