Thursday Afternoon Session.


The afternoon session yesterday
was opened with n chorus by the pub
lie school children under the direction
of Prof. Marquardt. A solo rendered by
Mr.. James Lynch, brought out a storm
of applause and was responded to by a
selection that was even more delight
full than the first.
Prof. De Long then addressed the in.
stitute on the subject, Facts in Peda'
gogy." taking as a special division OF
the subject, recitation. and giving a
most instructive talk on the prepare
ton Of the lesson by both teacher and
pupil, the manner of conducting the
recitation by the teacher, and con
ditions under which the pupil must re
cite. all leading to the important
thought, the intellectual strength and
growth Of the pupil.
Prof. Roberts, having charge of the
topic, "a Good Book to Read" said
that instead of telling the teachers
| what to read he would ask them what
they had read, suggesting, if possible
to name some book that had had a
marked influence on the life of the
reader.
Among the books mentioned were
Ivanhoe, Les Miserable, Adam Bede
| Uncle Toms Cabin, Ben Hur, Old Curl
osity Shop, Prince OF India, Little Wo
men, Man Without a Country, Whit
tier and Longfellow's poems. and Tales
| of Two Cities.
Prof. Roberts ~interspersed the gen
eral talk with several bright little
stories that served to show the influ
ence of many Of the books.

subject of attention. He spoke of the
external condition, dealing with the
physical comfort OF the child. namely:

work. etc, pointing out wherein the
teacher could control in some cases
or simply aid In others. Under the IN
