AN EXCELLENT COURSE.

The annual institute of the Col

sessions in the Normal Auditorium
at I 80 Monday afternoon.
Prof Evans called the meeting to
order and devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. d. n. Kirkby,
who made brief remarks especially
calling attention to the greater uni
ty existing i'll the rural districts as
compared to city communities, and
urging the necessity of teaching
respect and honor for nation and
home.
Mayor J. r, Townsend delivered
very cordial and hearty address of
welcome to which S. J. Johnston
responded.
The actual work of the institute
was then begun by Prof. Earl Barnes
of Philadelphia. His subject was
The Future of the Teaching Pro-
iession. He said we need the spirit
of cooperation in our work. The
best part of an institute is the per-
sonal e | atoms formed an d
strengthened between the teachers
themselves and between teachers
and instructors.
Prof. McGuiness, Supt. Of the
Steelton public schools, discussed
the Central Thought in the Teach
ing of Literature. He said III the
course Of his talk l.: Literature ap-
peals to the divisions of the ordin-
ary human mind. Every great pro-
duction enters the mind of the au-
thor as an ideal conception which is
then embodied, then clothed in
words.
Miss Longshore next occupied
the platform, and spoke Of the need
of physical exercises in the public
schools. Lack of this is often re-
sponsible for restless, disorderly
schools.
On Monday evening Mrs. Marion
Harter Miller rendered most effec-
lively a violin solo, after which
Rev. Russell Conwell, of Phila., de.
livered his matchless lecture " The
Angels Lily"
On Tuesday morning the teach
ers met to consider the work of the
various grades. At 10. 80 teachers
met in the Auditorium and devo-
tional exercises were conducted by
Rev. J. ID. Thomas. Miss Long
shore then occupied the time giving
instruction in physical culture. She
was followed by Supt. McGuiness,
whose subject was " How 70 Keep
Children in Lower Grades Piofita-
bly, Employed.
Tuesday afternoon session was
opened by some instruction in mu-
sic by Prof. Cogswell, after which
Prof. McGuiness talked on "Some
Points From a Superintendent S
Note Book" Miss Longshore then
spoke briefly on the personal ap-
pearance of the Teacher. Prof.
Davis then gave an interesting talk
on the physical development of
children, which he followed by talk
on how the child's conception of the
content of words grows.
The evening was occupied by the
Chicago Glee Club.
Wednesday morning the teachers
again met in sections and assembled
for general work at 10. 80.
Rev. Evelard conducted the de-
votional exercises, and Prof. Nc

Keep Prospecting.

Because a distri ct has been pros
pected by many men there is no
reason why it should not again be
prospected. Since the last man
went over the ground rains may
have washed in the soil SO as to
expose float, OF even a vein; a tree
may have fallen and in upturned
roots good mineral may be found;
an industrious gopher may have
thrown out from its burrow a few
pieces of good quartz. Prospect
ing should never cease| indeed in
some parts of Europe mining and
prospecting have gone on foi hun
dreds of years and yet even today
minerals in paying quantities are
often found. In Mexico at Minas
Nuevis, one of the oldest mining
districts in the republic, right near
the center of the district, a poor
peon, Pedro Alvarado, discovered a
mine which in the short space Of a
year made him a millionaire.
