[teachers listen (Continued from Page One) ' stitute into three departments, assigni ing primary teachers to the primary department, intermediate teachers to J the intermediate department, and high 1 schcol teachers to the high school deparment. Each department was . given an instructor to lecture upon English. Pedagogy or music, who adapted his instruction to the depart- ! ment in which he was working. At the close of each forty minutes the 1 instructor changed departments. By I this method of conducting the insti- | tute each grade of teachers was able | to receive instruction adapted to the | work of the class room. DepartmenII tai work in a county institute is an I entirely new thiug, and if the results | justify the procedure, a permanent orI ganization of our institute will be esI fected after this plan. The high school teacher has a pe- | duliar responsibility, said Dfr. V®n Ortner. This is the critical period, the time of physical and mental ad- ' justment. A great deal of study, an I adolescence is onesided, some phazes being emphasized too much. No high school teacher does his duty when he merely teaches what is written in the curriculum. A great many high school teachers are going beyond this and teaching the things of life. The infancy of the individual, scientifically speaking, extends from one to twentyfive. After the age of twenty-five the mind is less impresable than during previous years. Mental adolescence is a critical time as far as mental development is concerned. No person has the opportunity to touch the religious life of the child as the high school teacher. We have no right to teach denominationalism but *we have tta.' right to touch the religious life of a child. It should be touched positively not negatively. Dr. Armstrong.—The ability to use English with correctness and force is a great accomplishment. The way we teach English in our high schools does not give the boys and girls power with the English language. Every teacher should be a teacher of English. Every recitation should be a language recitation. Oral recitation is an invaluable means of teaching English. Pupils should prose and memorize poetry, such passages committed to memory enlarges the vocabulary and gives it strength and polish, gives expression to our thoughts, furnishes us with ideals, and keeps the mind free from evils. The very core of the school course I should be reading, writing, grammar j and arithmetic. There ought to be | two or three things accomplished in i the grades. The pupil should be able i not'only to speak the English language I correctly, but also to write It correct- | ly. Learn the English language first ■ with correctness and then with pre- . cision. This is done by teaching : grammar. Technical grammar should not be taught in the grades at all. The chief aim in teaching grammar in I the grades is to get the pupil to get the habit of speaking and writing the language correctly. Avoid a multiplicity of text books. Place but one text book in the hands of the pupil in the lower grades. The Dr. emphasized the fact that a teacher cannot teach unless he knows his text, therefore it is necessary to be familiar with the whole grammar before he knows what to omit. The rules of the grammar are of no value to the child in learning correct speech until he is old enough to take the book in his hand. Have plenty of oral composition equally as much as written. Every lesson ought to be a language lesson. That is the way to learn grammar The teacher must correct all the manuscripts but should not overburden herself with work in correcting Witten work, and should illustrate each rule learned by the pupils. The Dr. said he that grammar was one of the hardest subjects to teach in common schools, and that the teacher should study every lesson just as thor oughly as he would expect his pupils to do. Music, by Prof. Rauch. Prof. Rauch began his lecture by giving a brief history of the development of the scale. He said in part: The technicalities in music should not properly begin with the child until he enters the sixth grade. The Dorian scale was the original scale, afterwards came the chromatic scale, later a number of scales were devised but after much adjustment we have the following scales: The major diatonic scale from which all modern music is written. He mentions the minor and chromatic scales. Other scales are all relative to the above scale. The children should become familiar with the time signature and should begin to sing the syllables at this time. The professor spent the rest of his recitation by answering questions and ended up by a few remarks on keeping time, but not with the feet. NOTES. The trustees of Root, Preble, Kirk-
