Noble County Teachers’ Imstitute, Pursuant to call by the County Superintendent, H. G. Zimmerman, the teachers of Noble county met in Institute at Ligonier, Oct. 8, 1877, and organized by electing D. D. Luke, chairman, J. H. Gresamer, Secretary, and Miss Rett Gerver, assistant secretary. . The object for which the teachers convened in Institute, being for mutual improvement and general instruction in their various duties, a programme of exercises was arranged which embodied the subject matter to be presented to, and discussed by the teachers present. o Lt ‘The subject of arithmetic having been assigned to Mr. G. L. Harding, he gave his method of teaching the subject to beginners and advanced pupils. He would commence the work with'young pupils by bringing before them concrete objects and move gradually from the concrete to the abstract. He fhought the minds of young pupils too feeble to grasp the idea of number-or relation, except-as such was developed through concreteness. He would advance gradually from the simple operations in arithmetic to the mere complex, and thus unfold the dependence of operations and the continuity of the whole subject. e thought the subject of compound proportion presented no difficulties when each step was seen to depend upon simple processes of the mind previously developed. In examples of compound proportion, among the difficulties with which students meet, he thought an important one was to get the conditions of the problem before him' in such a way asto avoid confusion. To obviate such difficulty he would write in a horizontal'line the quantities involved in the first conditions of the question, and then under those write each quantity in its own column, which involved the unknown term. The result is that at a glance we can discern how to form our ratios-

To illustrate, take the following ex. ample: If 32 men can dig a ditch 40 rod long, 6 feet wide, 3 feet deep in 9 days, working 8 hours a day, how many men can dig aditeh 15 rods long, 415 feet wide, and 2 feet deep, in 12 days, working 6 hours a day ?

: .~ SOLUTION, . Men. Rods, Ft. Wide, Ft. Decp. . Dys. Hours, 32, 2o 6,8/ 9. 8 (2% B, alg, 54 13 e A il e 8 (9 ! : 8.4 e . 3yl 12000 3 : ; 6 s . It will be seen that the quantities are written as they occur in the first line, and the others, each in ifs proper column; a ratio is made of each couplet by placing in the third and fourth terms the couplet involving the unknown term; the others taken one at a time are readily arranged by asking the question, more or less. The problem may then be solved by cancelling the first column with numbers to the right. o PHYSIOLOGY. ‘ ‘The subject of physiology having been assigned to Mr. M. L. Miller, he presented his method of giving instruction pertaining to anatomy and the laws of health. =~ He would teach the subject by topics, commencing with the system of nutrition and proceeding to unfold the multiform processes of digestion and the building up process of the human system. He thought oral instruction most beneficial for those about commencing the study. : ; , He thought it best to omit the consideration of the nervous system until the last, since its complexity would not be well understood in the earlier progress of the pupil’s efforts. * Mr. W. A. Bel], of Indianapolis, discussed the same topic in its relations to the district school work. Hethought that teachers should commence very early in the child’s progress to inculccate the laws of health by calling its attention "to cleanliness and many other little things that tended to impair the health. He also thought attention should be given to the kind of food used and the methods of preparing it. ‘Ventilation, warming and a few other things in connection with the school room, he considered of prime importance. He would leaye the study of anatomy out of the questionsfor the present. o el

GEOGRAPHY. - Mr. Cyrus Smith, of Jackson, Mich., gave a few very good lessons in primary geography. He thought much of the -work ought to be oral instruection, and that the first lessons should be commenced by studying the locations of things in the school room. He would call this system a method of teaching home geography. He considered it impossible to give a pupil a good idea of countries away from home before he understood the geography about him. = He would always put into practice the principle of proceeding from the known to the unknown. Geography in this way he thought would be a pleasure to the child, because: the understanding always delights in that which it comprehends. He thought it well to teach ‘map drawing in this connection.

GRAMMAR,. Mr. Bell thought he would not commence the subject of grammar by calling it by that name, but would attend to the correction of common errors, so preyalent in the language of children, and in that way develop a habit of correct expression. He thought much more good could be accomplished in the use of language in this way than could be done through the instrumentality of a text beok. He would usethe book for advanced classes, but thought attention ought to be called principally to false syntax. Correcting common errors he thought one of the most profitable exercises in grammar, - LETTER WRITING. ' Mr. Miller gave several lessons in letter writing, in which he elucidated the importance of correct expression and form. Many very useful and important ideas were given upon the style and general appearance of a lets ter. He thought it quite an accom PMM*WWMWW%{GW {ful and intelligent lotter, | He gave

various forms for beginning and closinglefters. . | f e e - CIVIL GOVERNMENT. : Mr. D. H. Wenger, to whom was assigned the topic of government, gave several very instructive lessons. He presented a very clear annalysis of the. powers of government ghowing the functions of the three powers, executive, legislative and judicial. How they were composed and how our system of government differed from that of England. The election of officers, salaries and term of office in each branch was fully explained. Thespeaker in each step contrasted our methods with the English system, thus making the difference in the two systems very clear and intelligible to his andience. e READING. Miss Rogers gave a class exercige in primary reading, which proved quite interesting. - She illustrated the practical results of teaching children to read by the word method, and showed that children can be taught to read in, that way much sooner than by the old A. B. C. method. Yet she would not confine herself to the word method exclusively, but go from the word to the letter and thus combing the word and letter methods. Mr, Bell gave his method of haering a recitation in the second reader by econducting a class exercise. He did not place much stress’ upon what elocutionists are pleased to call beantiful expression of thought apart from the power to understand thought. He thought that nearly all of our reading is for gaining information, and not for the purpose of hearing ourselves read, thergfore the reading exercise should be one that will develop the ‘child’s perceptive powers to enable him to master the thought ‘béfore him. Intellectual reading he considered of much more importance than mere oral expression or utterance of a reading lesson. o

HISTORY. ’ Miss Ella Shepard gave her method of teaching the subject of history by: topies, She would have the pupils analyze the topics so far as capable of being analyzed. She would have each pay strict attention to the pronunciation of proper names. In studying the period of voyages and discoveries she would have each pupil make outa brief syllabus ‘of the distinguished characters of the period, and in this way gradually form the habit in the mind of the Pupil of studying character as portrayed in the motives and actions of men. Mr. Luke gave a brief outline of the objects which we should have in view in teaching or studying history. He would define history,: that branch of knowledge which investigates the causes and effects of events. He considered the mere statements of facts in chronological order of but little purpose as a means to an end. He said the objects which the student should have in view were: : P b

1. To form in the mind the habit of combining facts. S e 2. To teach the relation of facts or events to one another. : 3. To form the habit of investigating truth depending upon the co-rela-tion of historical events. - . 4. The relation of historical events to the form of government. He would include under the matter of history. i s 3 1. Private occurrences or the transactions of individuals. - _ 2, Public occurrences or the social and political order of government. 3. Facts connected with occurrences in the arts and sciences or the operations of the mind. o - His method of teaching would be by (1) topics, (2) conversation, (3) lecture. He thought a-teacher should understand the subject sufficiently to dispense with the books in class work. SCHOOL ORGANIZATION. . ‘Mr. Bell gave a few very appropriate suggestions concerning sq’,hqol organization. He would not attempt to get the names of pupils for the first thing, but would give them sométhing to do. He would take arithmetic and proceed. to classify his school, so that each pupil would have work to do at once. He wounld let the names take care of themselves for.a while. He thought teachers ought to see that their school rooms were always ready for the commencement of schoot.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT. = Mr. Luke discussed the subject of schools as related Ist tothe individual, 2nd to the community, and 3rd to the State. These several relations he thought might be brought under the law of self-conservation. Which presupposes in the individual, 15t a mastery over the material world; 2d an initiation into the means of association with ones fellow-men.. In this connection he discussed the mechanism of the school in its bearing to individual and moral discipline. . He thought one of the most essential elements to success in the school room “was vigilance and perseverance on the part of the teacher. Little things tending to disorder ought not to be passed by with indifference. ‘ A LECTURES. : During the Institute there were evening sessions at which lectures were'had. Rev. James Boxer, of Goshen, léctured Tuesday evening,on the ‘subject “Up to the Mark.” The speaker endeavored to show that much misery was prevalent in the world by the effort upon the part of many to get up in society to what might be called a ficticions mark of excellence. He ‘thought ficticiousness permeated our ‘whole social system. = : o MigHER OB Rev. A. E. Mahin lectured on Wednesday evening on the subject “Higher Up.” The speaker showed what perseverance will accomplish when properly directed. He thought the means to become a man in the true sense of ~manhood was accessable to every one ‘who possessed sufficient onergy to ‘grapple with hard study, Tlo alluded to the present political and financial ~embarrassments 'of the country and twwwmmm%

would praise his mental power. He believed in setting our mark high and then push onward and upward to the goal of success. e e . THE EASTERN QUESTION. .

Thursday evening Mr. Bell lectured upon the Russians and the Turks. He -described the geographical positions of the two countries, including their physical characteristics and commercial advantages. He said the eastern question was “how to preserve the equilibrium of the great powers.” He discussed this phase of the war at considerable length. He gave a brief deseription of the habits and mode of life of the Christians in Turkey; also of the Turks and the Russians. He thought the Turks possessed more manliness than their Christian subjects. : e Each of the lectures were well attended. Friday evening the teachers had a discussion upen corporal punishment and ofher topics. Much good feeling prevailed during the session of the Institute, and it is to be hoped each teacher feels better prepared for his coming work. : ; The enrollment at the Institute numbered 175 ; daily average in attendance 128, ; : !

If the incoming session of Congress remonetizes silver, and orders a recoinage of a sufficiency of the “Silver Dollar of the Dads” to reach specie resumption without curtailing the circulating medium, we: will see the country once more as prosperous as it was a few years ago. The country needs a staple currency, and this will secure it. . There is no good or sufficient reason why we cannot reach resumption withouf curtailing the circulating medium. The demonitization .of silver was a fraud upon the people, and they should see to it that no man is returned to Congress who opposes its speedy repeal. The way out of our present difficulty is clear, and it lies in a respect to the 10th Section of the I Article of the Constitution of the United States.—Brazil Mirror.

The Republican State Committee, of Georgia, on hearing the returns from Ohio, called a meeting and disbanded, so there is no ‘Republican party as an organization in Georgia. Georgia ‘'was among fhe last of the States to throw up. The palmy days of the Republican party have gone. Not even Mr. Hayes' adminisiration, justly popular as it is, can call back the breath of life into the republican corpse.—South Bend Register. .

She is said to be the highest priced cow-in England, and is described asa “charming creature.” The largest amount ever paid for a cow is believed to be $36,750 for the “Duchess of Geneva,” which was sold at New York Mills two or three years ago.,

South Bend 7'ribune: A remarkable coincidence was formed by the birth of two children, in this'city, one day last week. One was a son born to the wife of Frederick Perking, and the other a daughter, born to the wife of Ed. Kimball ; but what mekes this remarkable is that the two couples were married on the same day, and the two children weighed exactly nine and a half peunds each. . o

F. R. Goodridge, confidential clerk of the Commissioner of Patents, has been detected in forging the pgy-ac-counts of his fellow-clerks and is now in prison. He is a young man, respectably connected, and formerly lived in Chicago. He charges his downfall to association with a dissolute woman, which is the more to his discredit, inasmuch as he has a fair young wife and a little child.
