State Normal Institute. High School Building, July 30. Second Day.—The

Institute was call

ed to order at 9 o'clock. Tbe exercises of tie day were opened by the reading of the i2th chapter of Bomans, by Prof. flewett, ind singing and the repeating of Hie Lord's Prayer by tbe members of the Institute.

The Institute was dividedlnti) twb«ec-

this morning, for the better accom* Laudation of all tbe members. Prof. Hewett gave another lesson in Geography to Section A. He continued the geographical names. In South American names the letter a is pronounced like ah like long like short oo like our long a uy like our an like mo before a vowel is equal to our wi out is silent before i, or is equal to is equal to ly. Any amount of time necessary to teach the proper pronuncia lion of geograpbieal names to pupils to be expected of every live teacher.— Five minutes at the close of the lecture were devoted to the answering of questions propounded by various members of tbe Institute.

In section B. Prof. Harvey took up the sul.ject of English Grammar, beginning with a review of yesterday's l«9son, and continuing the analysis of sentences.

The adjective element Was taken up and discussed at length also the objective .ind adverbial elements were discussed thoroughly. Always have a system in analysis. Somo teachers work as faithfully as others, and yet do not accomplish hall' as much bacause they have no system by which to work. Sume time .vas occupied in answering questions proposed by the members of the Institute.

Mr. Wiley gave another lesson in Reading. How shall reading be progressively studied Li'arn how to sit, stand, how to use hands and arms, arid how to breathe. Sit erect with head thrown back and -tioulders down. Placo feet on the floor while sitting. Do not waste breath in rmiding or speaking. Great care is neo-••..-sary in converting breath into voice, or Hoarseness will occur. Never spejtk when .he lungs are exhausted. Give much time practice on vocal elements. In standing there two primary and two secondary positions Mr. VViiey exemplified each of thuse positions. Let all movements of lue hunds and arms be graceful and in •jiirves. In exuuiplury reading "Mona's ilother" fr ui theAtftmtic Mornhly, was given for the beiu'tli of tbe-section.

Prof. Hewett next took up the subject Phonics, or tho study of the elementary j1 sounds of the English lunguage. 1st. Vowel sounds are divided into long and short. A very common and grave error is the prolongation of the short vowel sounds. They should be pronounced explosively. 2d. The Professor's division of long and .,hort vowel seunds explains some anomalies in pronunciation. Short is lengthened into long short lengthened into long a. 3d. There are fifteen simple vowel sounds, viz: eight long and seven short, t'here are four compound sounds, or liphthongs. Besides these there are two vowel consonants, viz wand y.

The subject of Music was taken up by Prof. Tinker. He said, the flrst th#ng in music is to cultivate the ear by teaching the difference between sounds. Children iutuitivoly understand the difference between a musical sound and an unmusical one. Any child from four to twelve years of ago can iearn to sing.

One principle at a lesson in music is sufficient for children, and in a three months term they can understand ffll ol the principles.

Childhood is the time to learn to fiing, since the cares of life do not affect tbe advancement of the pupil at this stage.— Children from ten to fourteen years of age learn music faster and more effectually than adults.

The time will soon come when the teacher will bo required to tench music in the common schools of the State, Exercises in singing were then engaged in bv

During twelve years as an examiner in Ohio, the Professor stated that be bad never seen more than a score of teachers who could give a satisfactory explanation of what a recitation consisted The objectsofa recitation are 1st, To secure Study 2d, To learn wbether pupils have studied 3d, To fix facts and principles in the memory 4th To form habits of logical thinking 6th

review. Comment whenever" necessary. Let the teacher be as graceful as a true gentleman or lady would be in the parlc-r. Let the teacher stand most of the time during a recitation. Some teachers act.

#ith having Wesley's affections manifest-1 as if they were carrying tbe whole dignity -A in Euch a novel way, especially on tbe of the town upon their shoulders. This ublic sideWHlk, and accordingly fi-ed a, accounts, the Professor thinks, for so -omplaint before the Mayor. A dark many round shouldered teachers. He ooud of witnesses and spectators collect- related an anecdote illustrating overdone at tbe municipal temple of justice, and dignity.

In asking questions on the lesson, have the pupil stand, and if he fails let him remain standing, and let another rise, and. continue throughout the entire class. Do not recite from head to foot or from the midd.e of the class to each extremity. It is a good exercise for a teacher to frame his own questions. There are three characteristics to a well arranged question.— It thould be course, pointed, &pd clearly expressed.

Let the answer be full and complete making sense within itself. Do not allow fragmentary answers. You cultivato language in giving complete answers. At the close of the recitation give oral instruction. Spend from five to ten min utes in this way. Young teachers gen erally talk loo much some recite all the lesson and let the pupil imbibe.

All classifications belong to the review of the lesson. Let the pupil make the classification. Let the teacher criticise and correct the classifications of the pupils until a perfect one is obtained. In assigning the lesson, tell where the difficult parts are to be found, and teach the pupil how to study them. Do not do the work for him, but tell him how to do it for himself. Some instruction were given for conducting a review lesson. Time given for answering questions. All the freedom of action consistent with good order shouiu be allowed pupils.

Ten minutes were given lor recess. Prof. Hewett took up the subject of History. He recommended Bera^d's History for young pupils for olderpupile,he thought Wilson's good. Do 'not have pupils to committ all the text. Such practice will result in a parrot-like repe tiuon. Let the pupil in his^study refer to the questions at the bottom of the book.

Tne suject of History, like Geography, is endless. Henco the teacher must make selections. If anything is omitted, of added, let the pupil understand the fact thoroughly, and that he is expected to do what the teacher enjoins upon him.

There ia a wonderful tendency to mix facts in the study of history. How can the pupH keep these facts and dates sepa rated in different narratives? There are four relations of historic facts. 1st, Chronolgy. Be precise^in dates if you would learn history thoroughly 2d. Tho relatiun of place. The affairs of a country are greatly iufluenced by topography 3d and 4th relations were omitted for to-day. Time out.

Prof. Harvey gave another lecture Subject—"Natural Phenomena as moans of making up pupils." The lecture was very interesting, and listened to with marked attention by tbe teachers.— He explained the phenomena of dew, frost, fog, clouds and rains and how teach them to pupils.

The Institute took a recess of ten min utes. A discussion upon the duties of the teacher to his pupils and to the parents of pupils was opened by Mr. Mr. Wiley.— In the further discussion of the subject Mr. Hough thought that if the teacher was a lady or a gentleman, that the subject explained itself. Mr Olcott thought that many teachers get into fusses with parents because they do not act even civilly toward tho latter. A teacher often ruins a pupil by continually finding fault with him. Some teachers think they ought not be advised by parents, simply because they aro tcachers.

Prof. Olcott announced the programme for to-day (Wednesday.)

Devotional exercises from 8 to 9 o'clock. From 9 to ten, Dr. Pattison continued bis exposition of tho-Epistle to the Romans.

Tho Apostle concludes the argiimeut for the universal depravity of tho race. and lay the foundation of human respon sibility. He proves thnt no more can be justified of the law. But God furnishes a righteousness through which, or by the means of which He can be just, and yet justify sinners. This scheme of justifying gtace is brought about through the agency of Christ. "The discourso was very instructive throughout.

At 10}, Dr. Read delivered his flrst leo« ture on "Pastoral Theology." His tubjoct was the "Sphere and Duty of a Pastor."

The sphere of the pastor is one esspe-! £ol"J

The Holy Ghost has .made him overseer may be called, in a certain sense, his church4 This is his special field of labor, and he is responsible to God and bis peo* ple for the character of the docs trine which goes from his pulpit— not only the doctrine which he preaches him-elf, but also the doctrine preached by others in his pulpit."

Tbe pastor ought not to neelect his church for any other pursuits. The whole lecture was highly practical and interesting.

The Institute met at three o'clock and discussed tbe question of evangelists and protractcd meetings.

IIS

MBS. ISAAC I. MAHAN.

Seldom has there occurred in this city a death so sad, so deeply afflicting to rela tives and friends as that of Mrs. Isaac L. Mahan. She died on tbe 25th instn at the residence of her father-in-law, Dr. Wm. L. Maban.

Her maiden name was Maria Elifcabath Myers, daughter and only surviving child, of John and Margarretta Myers of Centreville, Wayne County, Indiana. She was born in Centerville on tho 10th of August, 1841. Before she bad completed her 26tb year, she was summoned to efiter upon the spirit land. In early life she was dedicated to God by her pi ous parents, and trained in the precepts of the Gospel, growing up an affectionate and dutiful child. As soon as she had at tained the requisite age, she entered the Sabbath School of the M. E. Church first in the infant class, of which for many years hjr mother had charge. and afterwards in the Bible class. Subsequently, she was made a teacher in the same school, which position she filled with great acceptability and usefulness until she left, hor native place to reside in ibis city.

She was united in wedlock with Capt.

I. L.

Mahan, M. D. in 1865, since which time, she, with her husband, has made her home in the family of her father-in law, Dr. William L. Mahan. On last Thursday, twelve days after hor con finem^nt, she calmly sunk to rest in the

arms of the Savior, leaving an infant habo, a young and devoted husband, and miinv kindred to mourn their irreparable loss. She was thought to be doing well until within a few hours of her deeease.— Hence, unexpectedly death came, overwhelming the wholo family in the deepest grief.

She was religious from childhood, joined tho al. E Church in her seventeenth year, of which she continued a member until she left the Church militant, to join the Church triumphant. She was well educated, intelligent, retiring, modest, sweet spirited, and never failed to secure the strongest attachment of all with whom she was acquainted. "Those who knew her best loved loved her most-."-— She so won her way into the affections of her husbands friends that, inexpressably dear as she was to the hearts of her own father and mother. She was no less dear to all the inmates of her new home.— She and her husband were not only married, but but truly mated. Never were hearts more true, never happiness more complete, or prospects brighter for long and happy '-United life." But the ruihles* hand of death has suddenly turned Eden into a desert. That husband but yesterday so happy and joyous, now broken-heartea, is shrouded In gloom, and feels all the loneliness of the saddest bereavement known to humanity.

We cannot but sympathize in this praise entirely with our respected col* league, and refer therefore to for ner publications in our journal touching, without unnecessary parade, and not as the national English or better Ger:nanEnglish papers, turning their colors according to tbe change ef wind, are in the habit of doing, tbe unanswerable neglect and in jury done the firm of Steck Co., on the part of the Ameriean Commissioners.— Even if no mention of .t has been made in the

Weekly Review,

we know too well

from experience what sensation our re» marks have made in this country as well as even in Europe. None but those acquainted with the corruptions of the whole machinery can understand in how. far the exclusion of the Steck Pianos, an article of such peerless perfection, was managed, however, this has happened it gives rise to a well-founded suspicion that some kind of influence bas been used, caused by the fear of some powerful competition of tbe Steck Pianos, an agent as much to be dreaded as the loss of the Prize Medal.—[Ed.
