WEDNESDAY, ,9.45 A. M.
The institute was- formally called to I
order by Superintendent Jones, who in
troduced Dr. L. E. Barrett of Bethesda
M. E. Church, who welcomed the teach
era to the town in a masterly address. I
He congratulated the teachers and peo
pie of Delaware on the rapid strides edu-1
cation has made in the Diamond State
during the past few years. He closed
with a few happy remarks which served
to make the teachers feel at home, and
the work of the institute was regularly
started.
Mrs. Ida Gilbert Myers, Superinten
dent of the Primary Schools of Washing
ton, D. C., and Professor M. G. Benedict, I
of New Brinton, Conn., were the in-1
structors of the day. Mrs. Myers spoke
from the standpoint of a practical primary J
teacher. Her remarks showed her to be |
fully alive to the modem methods in
primary work. Too many of the present
day methods have a tendency to repress
rather than encourage child growth; the 1
silent pupil is not the best; let the chil
dren tell what they see; encourage them
to see and talk; let them all talk at once
if necessary to secure free expression.
Mrs. Myers spoke twice during the after
noon session, continuing along the same 1
line as in her morning talk. h
Prof. Benedict's subject was "Habit." *
The school is the place where next to I
the home, habits are formed. Teachers
of all grades are not fully alive to the fact I in
that nearly all habits are formed before f
the end of school life; habits are symbols
of
it
of a great controlling force in character;
the teacher should endeavor to correct
bad habits, and instill into the children
habits of industry, economy, honesty and
h ^" 5 ral , pn l? ws 1 : hold ever before the
child ideal acts of heroism, virtue and K
One of the pleasing features of the in
stitutewa 8 in the evening, when the Haw- ! „
thorne Musical Club gave a concert. It
was a pleasing relaxation for the teach-1 f e
ers, who had been engrossed in their J 6
school work during the day, and was h
heartily enjoyed. 1
TBURSDAY, 9.45 A. M.
Thursday the work of the institute be
;an in real earnest. The teachers were
leginning to get acquainted and feel at
home. Dr. Schmucker, of the West
Chester Normal School, and Dr. Demor-1
est, of Hoboken, N. Y., were the instruc- J
tors of the day. Dr. Schmucker is an j
ideal nature lover. He has endeavored I
to have nature work introduced in th# j
schools of Pennsylvania. In nature
study bring the object which is to be.
studied into the school room. Pictures,
readings and second hand material does I
not interest the child. Some objections
may be offered to this because of lack of 7
proper subjects of study. In every com
munity there are more than enough spec- j 1
imens to keep every school bapy until the
College is reached where all subjects are
available. The dragon fly or snake doc
tor, known also by several other local
names, is one of the best subjects of
study in the school room. It is one of
nature's most magnificiently and glor
iously colored specimens. We have a
dread of it however, and seem to think
that it is trying, or will if it gets the op
portunity, do us mortal injury. Indeed
we seem to think that the whole animal
world has no other object in life than to
get at ns. We are afraid of mice, snakes,
toads etc. Why this fear I know not.
For its cause I would go away back to the
time when we lived north of the Cas
pian Sea. The fear of the common toad
is groundless warts no more arise from
handling the toads than does Chinese
spring from negro parents. The toad is
one of the easiest animals to make friends
with. Go out into your garden and
scratch the toad for a morning or two,
and you will find that you have made a
friend who will come at yotir approach
and respond to your whistle. In closing
the speaker said, "Above all things try
and see that the Creator endowed animals
with some rights just the same as he 'did
us with many. Get away from the idea
that the whole animal creation was made
for our own special use and enjoyment.
Prof. De me rest was the next speaker, |
who took as his subject "The Teaching
hL^Itencire of*m an ^ oH he ° m et h od s j f r

what he thought to be the rational I

words in the air with fingers. He then
explained the use of perception cards a !
set of which he used to illustrate. Have !
thought reading and expression reading. ; $
Teach the sounds and continue this work :
through primary grade. I
Dr. Schmuckere next talk was ou the ! „
subject of "Bird Study." The only thing r
needed in "Bird Study" is an opera glass. ? T
The gun is the most destructive. What
a wonderful thing is a bird. Average ; eac
temperature of bird is 98. Duck lives I
at a temperature of 106. Bird is built I
like a racing boat to offer least resistance 1
to air. He closed with an appeal for the , _J
rights of birds.
Dr. Demarest next made a plea for the
