TEACHERS’ INTTITUTE. THURSDAY AFTERNOON. S mg, followed by a piano solo, by' Miss Thomas. Thedirst regular subject was “Practical Pedagogy, by Prof. Lowden. He said, “I expect to talk on the literary instincts in rhe child. Its first liter--—x fe-arr <anav ary instinct is the first cry of the child. At the age Jof three years the imagination presents itself to the child. Let them read the nursery rhymes; it tends toward proper development of the child at that stage, and then properly lead the child into the next stage of life. Happy is the man or teacher who knows what to do next and where to do it. This is the secret of all life. Shall the child be lead into fairy life? Yes, certainly, the fairy stories are beneficial to the child's life. He can never appreciate literature unless he has an understanding of myths. Then the child must pass to history, biography, after which reading should be introduced into the life of the child. If you wish to teach reading you must get into the spirit of the selection. The teachers snould not always assign the first lesson in the reader, *but use good, common sense as to what selection will most interest the child at that time of the year.” He closed by enforcing the ideal of the spirit in reading. Prof. Brown, of Valparaiso, was then very well introduced by a the superintendent. “ Prof. Brown began his"address by telling several interesting stories. The gist of the address at first was that of Jthe influence that a teacher may have upon his students. “I wonder if we teach the children so that they can.do some things better than any one else. Many opportunities are opening up all the time for the person who prepares his work the best he knows how, and these will always find an opportunity waiting for them. No danger of educating too much. If we watt success we must do more than what we are paid for. No person will succeed if he only does what he, is paid for. make his school tlie best school, he must feel the responsibility that is upon his shoulders. He must be able to raise, inspire, the school to a higher plane.” He then spoke on the subject of manual training, from which the child learns exactness. carefulness and completeness, which is necessary in mastering the subject of mathematics. Intermission. After intermission a number of songs were sung which were a great inspiration and brought into the institute that lofty spirit which was spoken of in one of Prof. Cozine's talks. A few announcements were then made after which Mr. Brandy berry introduced the Superintendent of Wells county Mr. Huyette, who then made a few remarks, followed by remarks by Mr. Lewis Miller of Decatur, Mr. Hale of Geneva, and Prof. Haucker of Wells county. Each one adding some new idea relating to education. Remarks closed by Supt. Brandy berry's giving a rousing speech. After a few announcements a song was sung and institute adjourned until Friday. FRIDAY MORNING, Institute opened with song, after which Prof. Cozine led in devotional exercises and another song. Next followed a vocal solo by Rev. Pontius who was greatly applauded. He then favored the institute with another vocal solo which which was equal to if not better rendered than the former. Mr. Neet then took up the subject, “Nature Study.” The great struggles of life are for food, clothing, and protection. And then there are other great struggles such as the struggle between man and animal,plant etc.

There is nothing so pleasant for the child or man as good a systematic knowledge of all plants and animals around him. All children should get complete knowledge of nature around them and it is part of the business of the teacher to see That the child gets that knowledge. He then spoke of the superstition that people have relating to nature after which he proceeded with nature in the garden. Many interesting insects, worms and plants live and grow in the garden that we know nothing about. Now the question is with me, whether it would not be a valuable study for the children when they are interested in nature. The approximate aim of nature study in the schools is to give them many sided, fervent, drawing, permanent interest in subjects around us. What will do that? A study life the animals and plants. My plea this morning is for the teachers to get interested in nature study and be able to lead the child to become more interested 'in nature study. The teacher should first have their children study the animals around them because they move, and children are more interested in anything that moves. First have them study the insect. Lead them to observe very closely. He closed by talking about a worm known as the “Codling moth” which destroys the apple and causes the scarcity of good, round, beautiful apples today. Mrs. Lowden then favored the institute with a number of readings which'were well received. Intermission.

After a rest, a few college songs were sung by the institute. Prof. Cozine then continued the subject of music. He began by giving some practical suggestions in music work, after which a number of beautiful nature songs were sung. More suggestions on music. The next subject was that of “Pedagogy” by Prof. Lowden. Before beginning on the subject proper he gave an earnest talk on the Indiana educational exhibit that is to be held at the World's Fair at St. Louis. “We want to exhibit something that is not trash but something that is of the best product of the education field. All teachers should aid in this great exhibit ; we are all responsible for its success. Prof. Lowden said that he was going to the St. Louis Exposition. He expects to put at least ten days in the education exhibit and the first exhibit he would look for would be the splendid exhibit of Adams county. “Because lam interested in Adams county and wish to sety the fruits of our work in this institute. I know your superintendent can lead you safely and you teachers will follow. I can see that relation in your institute. He then proceeded with his subject bv conducting a reejta’uoii as’lie would if fie had to ilealwith a class of children. Each member of the institute was then supplied with a flower to examine and taste. Don't require children to learn the technical names of the flowers but using the names yourself in your discussion and they will become interested in the flowers and learn their names. Lead the child to observe color, form, shape nature, etc., of the flowers. During his recitation he said that you had better leave Latin, and Greek alone if you do not know the little common things around you. There is no excuse for such ignorance. Great interest was shown in this recitation on the part of the speaker and institute members as well. Roll call and adjournment. FRIDAY’ AFTERNOON. ” Institute opened *by singing the softg Rock of Ages. Prof. . Cozine next took up his subject on music instead of taking the subject in regular order. In the beginning he gave a list of songs that were suitable for the various grades, after which he gave a number of_very appropriate miscellaneous remarks. Next subject was taken up by Prof. Neet. He spoke at some length upon the nature of the Indiana exhibit at the World’s Fair. He then spoke on Nature study and recommended several books that might be used in teaching the nature subject. For instance “Nature Book” by Hadge, “Homestock's Insect Life.” “The remainder of my talk will be based upon the teacher. The three essential elements in education, teacher, child and curriculum. Tlie most important element is the teacher. More of the duties of the teacher are as follows : She has to be father, moth-

'er, doctor, law>r, teacher and ; preacher. Success of a teacher depends upon his teaching and school government, but most upon his school government. What is a teacher? One who can arouse experience in the life of the child which will lead him to a complete manhood or womanhood. The first attribute of the teacher is to be a “man” or a “woman.” Because the child is an unconscious imitator and if it has a good ideal it will become to a great extent like the individual. The ndxt great characteristics of a teacher are scholarship, professional preparation and mastery of the circumstances.' ’ These characteristics he illustrated very effectively. He closed by delivery of a well chosen recitation. Intermission. A song was then sung after which the last subject on the program was taken up by Prof. Lowden. Louis Agassiz has been one of the greatest teachers, and all teachers since his time have been more or less influenced by his teaching. He then spoke for some time on tables and useful busy work for children which should be introduced in the school. Have plenty of material on each table and a table for each grade. You can fill up these tables with such material that no boy or gir will squirm around to know how to apply his energy. He then gave a number of suggestive questions on a stock of corn which he had on exhibition. After a few well chosen words his talk closed. Mr. Brandyberry then gave an excellent closing talx. He thanked one and all for their aid in making the institute a success. The last roll was called after which adjournment. The recent sessions of the Teachers' Institute was the most pleasant ever held, and were remarkable in many respects, the large attendance at each session, the fine weather, tne harmony and general good feeling prevailing. The excellent instructors and the wise supervision of the county superintendent all combined to make this institute one grand success, an institute long to be remembered by the teachers of Adams county. At four o'clock Friday the Adams county teachers’ institute for the year of our Lord, 1903, passed into history. It was in all things a most pleasant and profitable week, and the one hundred and fifty teachers who attended were wined and dined upon the ways and means of being practical and successful wielders of the birch. The instructors every day were men who knew the profession of successful teaching. They gave practical and timsly demonstrations of the methods so necessary to succeed in the school room, and we feel sure that the coming school year will profit the work accomplished this week. The program from Monday morning until the last song was sung; moved with matchless regularity and not only showed great diplomacy but it showed the organizing ability of the head of the institute and schools, the county superintendent. He had everything in hand and at all times had complete control. The intsructors were lavish in their compliments and prai®» of every other feature of the week. It is no secret to say that County Superintendent Brandy berry covered himself all over with glory and is being complimented on every hand. A necessary adjunct to a successful institute is a secretarv that knows his business, and Mr. L. E. Ophger, filled that bill, completely. He occasioned no delay and did his part toward keeping the business going all the time. He made a good, competent and reliable secretary, and deserves praises along with the remainder of the clock work regularity that never stopped during the week.
