Weather Forecast. Generally fair tonight and Sunday, except possibly showers north portion. 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 next 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 o 1 e ich 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. Hethen 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 a 11 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 manj' respects, the large attendance at each session, the fine weather, the harmony and general good feeling prevailing.
