ALL BUT THREE
TEACHERS PRESENT

The forty-seoond annual teachers in
stitute OF Montour county convened in
the high school room Monday after
noon. The attendance was very good,
all but three of the seventy-six teach
ers employed in the county being pres
ent

of ST. Johns Lutheran church. Music,
which under the direction of Borough
Superintendent Dieffenbacher, is al.
ways popular feature of the local in
stitute, occupied two short periods.
the singing being spirited and particip-
ated in by practically the whole in
stitute. Each of the two Instructors
Professor Jonathan Rigdon. of Dan.
vile, Ind. and Professor Francis II.
Green. of West Chester-occupied a
period before the institute. Professor
Rigdon took up the study of Gram
mar. He handled it like one who is
thoroughly at home on the subject, as
he is the author of series of books
on the study of language. One of his
books is known as the Grammar OF
the English Sentence, another as
Common School Grammar" and the
third as "A Grammar for Beginners"
Professor Rigdon advanced the prop
osition that the study and teaching
of grammar is more difficult than the
study and teaching of any other branch
in the common schools. In this re-
spect he contrasted it with arithmetic,
which is comparatively easy. AS an
instructor Professor Rigdon is direct
and to the point. He scored a num-
Der of excellent points in his opening
address. He explained how the sub
ject of grammar should be handled in
school in order that the best and most
practical results might be obtained
In the course of his remarks he ex.
planned that to be unconsciously cor.
ously correct is to be awkward and
that unconscious error indicated the
abandon Of ignorance.
Professor Green took as his subject,
Guiding Principles in Teaching Lit
ersture. " The speaker combines with
tiuency of expression, rich fund of
information relating to the subject in
hand, keen sense of humoI, which
asserts itself at every turn. His open
ing talk proved quite edifying I'm
doubtedly the two Instructors will
prove popular with the institute.

occupied by Professor Green, his SUBJ
ject being "A Survey of a Century of
Literature. 1t was most compre-
hensive and magni icent effort.
The eighteenth century of literature
begins about 1888. The books publish
ed in that period we're rather intel
iectual than emotioUll; rather utilit-
arian than imaginative, and rather
artificial than spontaneous. 1t was
period marked by Tue origin and de-
Velopment of reading public. The
people had time to read: there were
more comfortable conditions; people
were becoming educated and printing
was cheap. The common classes were
increasing i'll Importance Books that
were the product of these conditions
were OF two kinds, general and speci.
al. The books general" in their ma
true were prose rather than poetry and
were artificial rather than rhetorical 4;
tile books special" in their type were
the novel, the periodical essay polite
al economy and methodieal and his.
torical prose.
Among the representative writers
were Pope, Defoe, Swift. Burke, Rich
ardson, Smalet, Steele. Addison.
Goldsmith, Gibbons, Adam Smith.
Chatterton and Blake.
Toward the close OF the century the
following movements were noted
First, return to the earliest form of
literature; second, a return to Eliza
bethan models in contrast to French
models; third, return to nature :
fourth, worship of sensibility; fifth,
longing for mystery.
Up to the time of Dickins children
were almost entirely ignored in liter
ature. In reading a book the speaker
said person should give much thought
to the authorize see what kind of a
man stands behind the book and what
he represents. Thus, it will be found
that Scott stands for health, physical
and moral: Carlysle, for power
Lowell, for nobility; Holmes, for
geniality; Jonathan Edwards, for in.
tensity; Franklin, for utilitarianism
Webster for energy.
PROFESSOR RIGDoN'S TALK.
After intermission yesterday morn.
ing Professor Rigdon took up the
STUDY of Sentences. -" y This in
structors work is intensely practica
and his views can be applied in the
teaching of any other system Of gram
mar He refutes no other author and
what lie advances is merely supple
mentary. In his opening remarks yes
terday morning he expressed regret
that there was not more in his wori
as arranged for the present institute
that was helpful to the primary teach
er. which prompted him to pay mic,
compliment to the teachers in the low
er grades. Amy old fellow, or young
fellow" said he, can teach a higl
school, but it requires an artist Il
teach primary school. "
The speaker Went into the subiec
very deep. He was clear and scienti
fic, however, as following the processe
of thought he developed the differen
kinds of sentences, as simple, com
pound, complex, declarative, interroga
tive and explanatory. He presented I
very useful diagram relating to th'
thought basis for classification of sent
enoes, which he hoped the teacher
would adopt in their SCHOOL,. i..roon
work.
Yesterday afternoon Professor Greer
gave two admirable talks, one entitl
ed A Literary Ramble" and the 9th

essor Rigdon continued the subject o

Mark Twain as a Critic.

A successful young novelist was
praising the critical powers of Mark
Twain.
81 once had the honor of reading a
tale of mine to Mr.. Clemens he said
"and, thanks to his criticism, the tale
was greatly improved. Originally it
was too high-flown; he brought it
down to earth, and made it homelier
and truer.
For instance, the tale concluded
with these words:
'MabeTs lovely eyes dropped for
answ er, faint flush tinted her cheek,
and she gave him both her hands; and
there in the old orchard, in the shade
of the heavy-fruited trees, he drew her
to his breast, and, raising her long
ringlets to his lips, kissed them rev.
erently.'
"Mr Clements, at this ending, blew
a cloud of smoke thoughtfully into the
air, and as he watched the smoke dis
solve, he drawled:
What do you think, now, honestly,
Of a young man who would go nib
bling at a girls back hair when she
had her face with her?'"

TORPEDO BOATS BY POST"
Effective Little War Vessels Propelled
Without the Aid of Steam.

Without the Aid of Steam.
A torpedo boat that can be sent on
by rail to the port where it is most
required opens up possibilities which
naval experts have never contem-
plated. Yesterday morning the king
witnessed a trial of the new motor
Yarrow torepdo boat, one of the most
extraordinary vessels that have ever
been placed on the navy list.
The idea of a boat drawing little
water and capable of being navigable
in shallow waters originated with the
admiralty, who approved of the
scheme to make these vessels pro-
PEELED by internal combustion in pref
erence to steam. The result of the
experiment was seen recently from
the deck of the Victoria and Albert.
The new vessel carries two torpe-
does, weighs eight tons and measures
sixty feet in length and nine feet IN
breadth. Her horse power is 800 and
the advantage the petroleum craft has
over steam may be gagged from the
fact that her range of effectiveness,
i. e., the distance she can go without
recharging, is 600 miles, as against
a steam vessels 100.
Apart from the enormous value as
a method of river defense there is
novel interest in the possibility OF
torpedo boas by post"
