Labor Saving Beam Poles.—A story is told of a man in this vicinity who was advised by one of his neighbors to plant sunflowers with bis beans in order to obviate the task of polling. He followed the advice in due course of time the sunflowers camo up and waxed Btrongi the beans coiling around the sunflower stalks beautifully and he congratulated himself upon the fact that he had discovered an effectual method of raising beans without being driven to the disagreeable necessity of toting bean poles from the forest. But alas for human expectations his beans wero raised out of the soil, roots and all, in a few weeks, by the rapii growth of his new fashioned bean and there they bung withering between heaven and earth, with less soil abou their roots than is usually required for a successful cultivation of the plant. The experimenter in the labor saving process candidly confessed that "be did not know b*ans.

Nelson.—A Mexican corre

spondent of the New York Times, makes this allusion to our townsman, Hon. Thos H. Nelson:

Tbe course of Minister Nelson since his advent among us here has called forth nothing.save warm commendation, and the general feeling entertained here by all classos is that General Grant, ip making bis selection, could not have made a better or more fortunate one. All his diplo matic efforts have so far been eminently successful, and all bis suggestions are ro ceived with marked consideration. I do not intend it, however, to be understood in making use of the word "suggestions that Mr. Nelson interferes with bis ad vice aB to the administration' of Mexican affairs by the Mexican Government, but in that alone which pertains to tho require ments of his official position. Ministii Lsrdbo tendered him a diplomatic dinner on the 9th, at which all the cabinet were prefent, and the entertainment proved decided success.

Another banquet was given to him yes terday at San Angel. A numerous as eembly of distinguished persons graced tbe feast with their presence, and the wining and dining were excellent.^

The Management of Our Public Schools.—We fully agree with our Dem ocratic cotemporary, the Lafayette Dispatch, in what it says of tbe school law} and the necessity of its amendment so as to make tbe Trustees elective directly by the people. And. in so doing we have no reference to any action of the present excellent Board of Trustees. In this in stance none better could be selected by the people. The Dispatch says: "An Indianapolis correspondent is considerably exercised over the failure of the last Leg ulature to provide. for a change in the manner of administering school affairs in the cities of tke State. Af present the power is all given to a Board of Trustees, three in number, appointed by the Com mon Council, and the people have no direct choice in their selection. Their sessions ipay be, and for the most part are secret, and those who are most interested frequently have no intimation that a par ticular»step is about to be taken until the work is done, and those who pay tbe taxes are allowed to be "pleased or displeased," which ever may suit them best, If members of the board were chosen directly by the people, and were responsible to them for their course if each ward could have a representation upon tbe board, and the proceedings of each meet ing were given out for publication, as they are in cities outsideof Indiana, much bet tor satisfaction would be givon by them, thero would be less temptation to do in discreet things, and less siupicion would attach to their motives for takisg any particular course."

Wo trust the next Legislature will so amend tho school law as to make tbe Trustees olective by the people instead of the Council. If this done we are satisfled it will result most advantageously to our public schools.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

THIRD DAT.

The Institute was called promptly to order, at 9 o'clock, yesterday morning, by Prof. Wilry, wh led in the devotional exercise?.

J\fr. Paige gavo an exercise in music, in which he demonstrated hi* method of teaching it i" primary schools.

Mis O.irdo brought bur class of little folks out in a spoiling exorcise, which was a grand success.

Mr. Greenawiiult read a papor on "Hisory in ur Public Schools.'' Ho said history is too much neglected in our schools. The aim of a well directed edu cation is human development history aids in this. It develops the morttl powers, toaches what charactors to imitate and what to shun. Bible history should secure duo attention we should study well the history of our own country, and of our own great men. It is better to create a noble seutiment than to teach a fact in scienco. .Science can teach you the creation, but can it leach you the moral sublimity, and precepts of Him who traveled Judea's plains, and died on the cross for the salvation mankind? A child can be incited to study history by hearing and reading pleasing stories founded on historical facts. The teacher who is alive to his work will make history possess all the charms and attractions of fiction. W«. can not fully comprehend good author* without a knowledge of history. We are in^ejjted to the history of Greece and Borne for th« freedom of our institutions.

Mrs. Moore read a paper on Natural History. Amid the different productions of the earth auimals hold the foremost place. Difficult to tell exactly where animal life begins and vegetable life terminates. However destitute of sensibility) animals are superior to plants in possessing the power of cbaaging place and retreating from danger. The voluntary ignorance in which men live in reference to animal life and tbemsel ves,is an enigma. Thd first study of mankind is man, and then his relation to lower animals. The

structure of man is esaentially the same as other mammals, differing only in degree. Man is tbe Lord of Creation by reason of his higher physical organization and great mental endowments. The flexibility of his constitution enables him to live under tbe greatest climate extremes, and under various degrees of atmospheric pressure. The stucture of all animals is wonderfully adapted to the life tbeylead.

Prof. B. C. Hobbs, Superintendent of Public Instructions, gave a very interesting discourse on tbe physiology and hygiene of digestion and circulation.

Th*e first exercise afier noon was a lecture by Mr. Byors on analysis of sen* tences.

Prof. Hobbs'gave a lecture on gi^heral exercises in schools. When a school gets dull tell a lively story that has amoral.— By the aid of simple toys the skillful teacher can illustrate many of the principles of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, thus awakening a desire, in bis pupils to study these branches

Mr. Valentine continued the subject of Arithmetic, developing the principles of fractions.

Mr. Probst read a paper, subject—"Is our instructions sufficiently practical," which was well received.

Adjourned to meet at 9 clock this ruing. Ninety-two toachers were in attendance yesterday.

Mr. Daiber on Tuesday read a paper, subject—"What should be the- private studies of the teacher." This, by neglect, was not mentioned in Tuesday's proceed ings.

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE

Dfli

By a Lady Tcacher in Attendance.] I aceepted"the invitation of a friend to attend the Teachers' Institute, now in session at the Fir3t Ward City School and aB our cUIzsns are all more or less interested in tbe practical bearings of these Institutes, I will give you a little sketch of tbe exercises, etc, omitting all regularity of programme, as thafhas al ready been furnished you by the Secretary, and touching only si few points of in terest as they, impressed the mind of "Looker-Off?"—Ftrst.lwiw^speakof th evident good feeling and satisfaction ox isting between Teachers, Principals and Superintendent. Tbere is a genuine earnestness, conbined with geniality, which betokens eminent success in our common Schools under the present "Regime." I have never seen an Insti tute open under more cheerfdl auspices. There in an unusual buoyancy, anJ in tete3t and a social cordiality, too seldom attained between employers and employees. A visitor can gee that this Insti tute, is-notA forced meeting of up willing Teachers under a hard task master but a spontaneous reunion of Brothers and Sisters (the Superintendent being one of them) each vieing with tho other to "raise tbe standard higher."'

The Institute was called to order and addressed in a few brief but very appro priate remarks by T. B.-Long, our effi cient School Examiner, and then formal ly opened by devotional exercises con ducted by Superintendent Wiley, who assumes bis new responsibilities with his characteristic grace and affability. Pass ing over his impressive introductory ad address, together with all tbe rog alar exercises, I will proceed to give you a synopsis of the address delivered before the Institute, by Prof. Hoss of Blooming ton. Ho opens bis remarks by saying "I am pleased not only to meet a^»io the teachers of Vigo, but to flod'you are earnestly at work. As I came to your city I found my mind dwelling upon the difference, or, if you please, drawing a comparison between the visible apparent appreciation of teachers and other public laborotr-. While one line in your morn ing papers is desmod sufficient to call at tentiou to a Teachers' Institute, a whole column with conspicuous headings is de voted to the announcem'nf of a Sseoger fest. A political meeting is ushered in by flourish of trumpets, flying banners and, perhaps, loud booming cannon, while the teachers, the educators of the youth of our land, the moulders of our men and women, will meet and work arduously, day after day, without even one reporte to chronicle their efforts. la ihia appar ent depreciation of teachers iuaicative of the:r merit or tho coming reward Does this lack of applause indicate that we ac complish nothing? I think not. We work without fame but to sure purpose The silent forces are the

great

The silent influence of teachers may justly be compared to this invisible and wonderful power of attraction, drawing all things to the great center, and also to the invisible but effective labor of the miner, who toils in obscurity in tbe bosom of the earth, while over bis bead, upon the surface, the rich and careless roll in swift carriages of State regardless even of his existence. But bo has toiled on silently, but surely, and he has brought out tbe ore that has united the Atlantic and Pacific coast and belted the world.— His work was silent but the result grand. This ore, the production of tbe labors of the humble miner, has carried blessings all over the land, even distributing the munificence of a Peabody all through tbe impoverished South. His great heart has poured out countless treasures, and has done tbe work ot a Christian benefactor. But back of all these results I claim there is a secret spring. George Peabody's mother, a modest dame, per haps, robed in a shilling calico, with spotter's collar, fastened by a cheaper pin, or bis retiring amiable teacher has instilled into his boy heart tbe beautiful principle'"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Franklin laid his hand upon the lightning, Morse stretched the wire, and where he left it a Cyrus Field caught it up and carried it under tbe sea, but behind all these brilliant achievements was a mental power set in motion some quiet, faithful teacher.—

Yould not our reward be satisfactory, if in future years, we could look back and see that we had been the instructors of suck men, or moulded the youth of those noble spirits, whose names are one ani inseparable, George Washington Knd Abraham Lincoln? I tell you, in influence teachers rank- very close beside the mother. But the main point I wish to eall attention to, is the pomp and noisy show, and loud applause of political and railroad meetings and Sreogerfests, &c, all proper enough) an£ the universal tendency to ignore the meeting of teachers. We work silently and comparative

lyunnoticed, buttako courage. We work with rare and grand results. Many noble minds are working with ug, and we all aturally like to be co-la borers with great men such as Moses with his "shining face" and Plato and Socmtea, and this aspiration is not wicked, for Paul speaks of bping and "co-laborer with God." Take courage, I repeat, for we mine in the rich and imperishable ore of the mind, and whether visible or not we have a Bure reward. But to accomplish such high results certain requisites of character are indispensable. The question comes back to us with significance. Are we prepared Have we tbe necessary qualities, purity of purpose, unbanity, justice, magnanimity, courage and forfltude

We need wisdom, that wisdom that cometh from on high. I believe in taking oar difficulties to. God, and asking for Divine light and guidance. I know of no other source to which I can refer you and I trust when our labors are ended, that each one of us may receive that blessed sentence, "Well done,* thou good and faithful servant," not only from our own conscience^ and our pupils, but also from tho Great Master above.

No one of anv appreciation, could have listened to Prof. Hoes without being impressed not only by his scholarship, but bis Christian fidelity. Members of tho Institute were spell-bound by bis soul-power. You have already received and given a synopsis of bis lecture in the afternoon, on the discipline of tbe school room, &c., after which, the Institute adjourned till Wednesday morning, when it was re-opened by reading and prayer and roll-call by Superintendent Wiley, followed by practical drill in music, by Mr. Paige. Oral Instruction wss then continued from a preceding Session, by Miss Florence Carde, and after a brief and social recess,Mr. Greenawault discussed History—how to make it pleasing, instead of tedious, to the student. Natural

History was then taken up, and made not only instructive, but captivating, by Mrs. S. K. Moore, who demonstrated upon the blackboard, her ready familiarity with the science, in all its most difficult bearings, classifications, &e. B. C. Hobbs, Stato Superintendent, was then introduced to the Institute, and made a brief but instructive address upon Physiology. His examples of illustration were just to the point, and his comparisons forcibly impressive. He will continue his lecturo, taking up the subject of the voice. In the afternoon he addressed the Teachers upon their practical work, &c. The exercises in Aritnmetic and Grammar were continued, and a very excellent paper read by Mr, Probst, and the mooting adjourned till 9 o'clock Thursday morning.
