The w ork and exercises oi I the institute were not lessened or de- creased by these outside, influences, but were up to the usual standard. Prof. W. H. Krt-tchman was chosen Chairman ; Miss MJith Zorn, Vice I'resi dont; ?diss Maggie Kticppcr, Secretary; Miss Nora Critehtield, Assistant Secreta ry, Miss tirace Kimmt-1, ipjery Manager. Tiie forenoon session was occupied in organization and the discussion of a few queri.si relating to school work by Messrs. W. A. Sei'iert, J.ih. K. Mason, I'rof. I".er key and others. The afternoon session was one of much interest and the hall was comfortably tilled. Addresses on the "Belation of Citizens lind Birectors" by Ir. Shaw, and "The Curse of Ignorance," by Prof. Speicher, Were well received. Kx'S'lIent pa;ers were read by Miss Nora Critch licld on "Si hool Pniiishmeiit ;" "The Or igin of the llnglish Language," by Miss Nellie Hellley, and "Kssential KlemenLs of tJtMxl Itts-itation Work," by Miss Crni-c Kiminel. The. e pajs-rs contained much that is valuable to the live teacher, and show ed tie; advanced position of tiiese young teachers in their work. Iaist but Ly no means least was a talk by Br. Bruinliaugh on "Commercial Ueogrq hy." This was one of the best and most ptaetinil educa tional talks ever delivered lit fore any I'j eal institute iu the w l iter's knowledge. The institute was preceded on Friday evening by.a school entertainment, w hic'u ismsisted of dialogues recitations songs, Ac, and was a credit to the teachers, the pupils and the citizens of the town. We must not forget the Ik.vs and girls of the advanced room, who furnishi-d such splendid m usie for the institute on Satur day. 'n Saturday night Br. Brumluiugh de livered his lecture, "TheTecheCour.try," to a large and appreciative audience. This was truly a grand treat for our ;wi.d and the only fault found, though it lasted nearly two hours, was that the Br. did m.t talk longer. Anyone who has an opportunity to hear this grand lecture and does not cmbra'-e it misses a treat not often afforded any people. While speaking tif school ti.lcrtuiii ments, local institutes and letsturts, we may as w( 11 add that our public schools are moving along splendidly.
