TTROM NEIGHBORING (TOWNS - 8EVERAL SCHOOL JOURNALISTS AND REPRESENTATIVES OP SCHOOL BOOKS IN ATTENDANCE - MISS CHAPMAN'S DRAWING WORK - OTHER INSTITUTE FEATURES. Yesterday morning the Wheeling Teachers' Institute nromDtly at 9 o'clock was called to order by SpperlnBp.' tendent Anderson, and the secretary, pj/ Miss Beppetto, proceeded to call the Ijrj. roll, nearly every teacher answering'. If"'- "Now the Day Is Over" was suns by [ ' the members of the Institute. Superintendent Anderson made a few remarks complimentary as far as ntr ' tcfldance is concerned, but criticised fL/ some ^teachers who do not pay the Rf proper attention to the Instructors. All r,:, this was done in a friendly spirit, and P,- wv well received. I'; Miss Chapman was the first instructor. [- She first called attention to the new l*V books issued by the Prang Company, KV. and urged on the teachers being sure p, - to procure these bouks for the work of |! the coming year. Aj? (he Prang system [{,; Is used in the Wheeling schools, dealer* rv i W|4i uii lyeu io iimuiasw mc books. Any dealers having the old by numbers on hand can exchange them I?* for the new. She next proceeded to lay > down the rules given last year, while pi giving Instructions at our Institute, ?y,: -which are as follows: r; 1. AU receding lines above the level p- of the eye appear to slant downward. Kv 2. All recedlt^ lines below th?- levul ' of the eye appear to slant upward. I. 3. To establish vanishing point slant r all receding lines gradually /toward the Py' level of the eye, and where these line* r: ?peet the level of the eye is the vanish: log point. 4, Lines which in the object ore parallei with the picture plane, do not changc p" their.appearance except In length. N,,v u, Anguiur perayccwvc una mv ???lshtog points. fx-/ 7. Parallel perspective has but one It.' vanishing point. gv, She then proceeded In accordance g with theiie rules to give a lesson In par L allel perspective, drawing u chair. f,-y teacher using blackboard and class usf. 1ng paper. The lesson proved ver* In* ^resting. | After a short recess and a song Dr Gordy continued h'8 talk on Psycholo i pry. He called especial atttntlon to tli* V fact that the mind Is a unit; we some V'; times speak of-it as intellect; sometimes a sensibility, and Eometimes ar J&' will. Wo must remember it is th?* sam< i?- mind. These are but the diversion? o" R the same mind. A teacher should know ^ how to develop all these powers in hi: ^ pupils. A teacher may bo a success |r ?$ ' educating the intellect. but a failure ar ; far as thr sensibilities are concerned. ?* Acts are of three kinds: Moral, nonbr moral or Immoral. Thomas Davidson says that every man creates his own world. This at firs, seem.* nonsenre =?' - ttiu if wi> innk ml it nronerlv we si-t !that there j? soim-thlnn In it. It in tin world a? we think it that influence?; us. Looking at It thus we llnd much sense in the ftuement. The world as t exists is one thing and the world of our Imagination is another. The doctor . wu? very happy in his illustration:* to show that ail through history it is the world that the people thought thai ru]ed and shaped their lives and moulded the age in which thev lived. It is the teacher's duty to lead fly1 his pupil to have his ideal world nil Bj that it should be. He closed by using ?; that we make our world a beautiful g, one; that our thoughts be pure"; that E our imagination be pure. r, ; A piano solo by Miss Qlnsftow. a teacnf': er of Lincoln school, was received ivith great applause. This solo was by rcK quest, ns she had favored the Institute with a selection earlier in th?? day. Sh? F" . proved herself a very fine performer. I'.'

It was then that the Seawanhaka Cup wns taken to the other aide of the border for the flrat time, and no local craft has yet been designed that could recapture the trophy. Mr. Duggan la prominently associated with all the leading clubs of Canada, and Is well known in yachting circles in the United States ana England. nc handles a boat in a manner that keeps his opponent in constant anxiety, and no one who races against a craft steered by the clever Canadian is sure of victory until It is actually gained. <500 mite* In length.

In | mopt instances the pay of the volun- j teers was wvree mormm in une.*.** the government hay been criticised for not paying the men- promptly. Now that the troops have returned- to the United Stilts It develops- that the men were not paid because the colonelh of fifteen reglmenits requested the paymaster general to withhold- the money due the I ; troop? until they should return- to the rolled H rates. Paymaster General General Kta-nton says that the govern* men-t had an efficient corps of paymasters ami plenty of money In Cuba and could have j?aid the men promptly, but for the requests made by the oHloer* I commanding Jhe regiments.
