instruction.

tiiStI uOtlOll-
The Berkeley County Teachers
Institute, which has been in SEES
sion since last Monday morning at
the Martinsburg High School will
close this afternoon. One hundred
and seventy teachers have been
enrolled and the sessions have
been particularly interesting and in
structive. The institute this morn
ing opened with responsive scrip
ture readings conducted by Mr.. ].
+. Francis, after which the institute
Joined In repeating the Lords pray
or.
A number OF selections were sung
america, the Beautiful" "Onward
Christian Soldiers" and Work for
the Night is Coming after which
Mr.. Trent gave the teachers a talk
on the Purpose Of the Recitation.
He said, a man taking an automo-
bile trip would not think OF going
forty or fifty miles unless he was
prepared. Mother would the fisher
man or the campers undertake
trip without being prepared.
The teacher should spend some
time in preparing for the recitation.
The dress, the personal appearance,
the voice of the teacher all may
have the effect OF distracting the
pupil, drawing their attention from
the recitation thus losing for them
| in a measure the benefits to be de-
rived from the recitation.
He said the boys and girls can
rot be fooled by the attitude OF the
teacher. IF the teacher is dull and
not enthusiastic or seems distract
ed easily she cannot eXpect the
pupils to be enthusiastic. They will
| naturally follow their teacher in
many such things because they
have been taught that their teacher
Is a model, a leader to be followed
To avoid this it is necessary that
teachers keep themselves in good
health, so their attitude in the school
room may be cheerful. A teacher
should set her standards in the
schoolroom and see that the pupils
live UP 10 it.
After intermission the teachers
were favored with selection on
the grafonola, an indian war song,
by an Indian chief The institute
thon sang a song Long, Long Ago
/ and santa Lucia" an Italian Folk
song, which is sung by the fisher
men of Naples when they put out
| their nets
Mr.. Trent then gave 2 talk on
/ teaching Americanism. He said 1t is
| the duty of teachers to create in
the pupil a greater respect for law
and order. In the city Of New York
there are perhaps million for
/ eigners, many OF whom cannot read
our language They are preaching
anarchy, BolsheYism and other dan
gerous doctrines. There must be
some potent force 10 combat this
evil
We hear from every source OF
the disrespect of law and order Of
the marriage VOW, how rapidly di-
vorces are increasing and how the
moral standards Of our country are
declining. To the teachers Of our
schools must fall the responsibility
| to combat these evils.
