TEACHERS' :INSTITUTE.
Livingston Enterprise.
Pursuant- to a call from the coun- t
ty s uperin.tiridente l M.:. Eva M.
Hunter, the teachers of Park couni
ty began to assemble in Livingston I
as early as Tuesday evening and
each succeeding train brought rein
forceinents. Wednesday mornirig .f
at1 9 o'clock nearly all thM teachers'
in the county were wending their
wa.y toward the high school build
E :ng. iThe :lrge roiom was well fill
ed with teachers, pupils and friends
of education. -
Teachers in attendance were: H.
C. Ostien, Olive McClain, Marion
Wolcott, .Margaret Conway, ;Annie
Madden, Eleda Felsted, Lillian
Miller, Josie H. Duke, Emma M.
Yakeley, . Stella Yiakeley, Mary
Mat~tison, Annie McAnelly, Mar- 1
tha Kearns, Anna McDermott, J.

Hackett, Mrs. Lula Jackson, Men
tie Cellars, Marion Tintinger, Almna
Evans, •Nora Prewett, Bessie Swain, t
W. A. Buzzard, T. S. Thompson,
Maud Randall, Miss Ottrey.
Shortly after 9 o'clock the assem
blage came to order and the exer
cises were opened with singing, led
by the young ladies of the' high I
school followed, by prayer by Rev.
W. C. -Fowler. A few minutes were
taken for'. organization, and Miss
M. E. Yakeley..of Red Lodge was
elected secretary.
The first paper was that of Miss
Marion Wolcott on "Literature for b
Children." It betrayed careful d
thought upon the subject and C
placed it before. the teachers in a o
clear, 'concise manner that none c
could inisunderstand. ti
A short intermission followed d
this paper, which was occupied by
the teachers in becominlg acquaint- c
ad with each other. Owing to the o
temporary absence of some of the s'
tbachers the program for the fore- ti
nooh was changed, and the inter- u
mission was followed by Miss Josie a
Duke, who explained "Psychology C'
as Applied to Teaching."
Mrs. H. L. Glenn then treated the it
iistitute to a very interesting ex- W
planation of the, Pollard system, as "'
used in teaching the little ones to U
read.
This was followed by a class drill
by Miss Lillian Miller, where four- Cl
teemr bright and eager little boys P
and girls demonstrated the ability C4
of'learning the principles of words 13
so thoroughly as to be able to pro
nounce a new word almost at sight. t
The methed followed was that of 01
Colonol Parker, and the remainder L
of the forenoon was spent in gener- L
al discussion by the teachers of the
merits and demerits of the two sys
tenis.
After a noon intermission of an P
hour and fifteen minutes the meet
inng was again opened by singing. a
As it was impossible for Professor
Young of Helena to be there but
one day the program was again
changed, and the teachers listened
to an interesting as well as instruc
tive talk on "Arithmetic" by Pro
fessor Young. He urged upon
teachers the importance of teaching
well the fundamental principles, as
a solid basis on which to build.
After a short intermissiori Pro
fessor Young gave a short talk on ti
"Geography," illustrating various h'
interesting methods of presenting
the subject so as to produce a last- Pi
ing impression on the minds of the oi
pupils.
The remainder of the afternoon '
was given to the discussion of a
State Teachers' Reading Circle.
The matter was presented by Pro.
fessor Young, although it is a pro
duct of the county superintendents. 1
Professor Young and Mrs. Hunter l
urged upon the teachers the neces
sity of systematic reading. c
The majority of teachers enrolled g
as members, after which the meet- 1
ing closed for the day.
Thursday morning the meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev.
Smith, followed by music by the a
high school pupils. a
The teachers being absent who 1
was to present the subject of "Com- a
position," the matter was thorough- h
ly discussed. E
This was followed by a very able p
and exceedingly interesting paper a
by .~ iss Mary Matteson; of Red b
Lodge, on the subject of "Busy T
Work and. Help for the Little t<
Ones." 8s
After. a short recess Professor V
Ostein presen:td "The Duties of the p
Teachers'" to the.institute in a very si
brief and concise manner.
h:. thh oellewed )h. very interesting
talk from Mrs. Baker of Gardiner.
Thin presented' many bright
thoughts.and ideas to the teadhers
[. on the treating that subject iri the
s. chool. .ery appropriately -this
n paper was followed by one on "Pri
Smary Number Work," presented by
Miss Felstead. She illustrated in
a. very interesting manner her
s methqd of' conducting a recitation
tr on that subject.
.. IThe meeting theA adjourned for
the noon recess. After the opening
exercises at the beginning of the
afternoon session a 'paper on "Ge
L ology" was offered by Miss W. E.
n Knowles. It was very interesting,
eantertaining:and instructive and
n fully convinced the teachers that
the study of geology could be made
most fascinating. The subject was
but shghtly discussed, as none felt
able to add td or criticise the sub
,a ject so well presented.
e Miss M. E: Yakeley of Red Lodge
then presented a short paper on
'!School Management," followed by
an able talk on "Infinitives, Par
h ticiples and Abridgement," by Pro
fessor H. C. Ostein.
a The meeting then adjourned for
the day.
Friday morning the attendance
was much smaller on account of the
illness and enforced absence . .of
many of the teachers, but many
d visitors encouraged us by their
h presence, among them Revs. Weeks,
Fowler and Smith.
e The meeting was called to order.
and the exercises opened withi pray
er offered by Rev. Weeks, followed
by singing by the teachers.
The subject of Advanced History
r by J. C. West opened the forenoon's
discussions. -Mr. West very ably
compared the old and' iew methods
of teaching this.subject, and.firmly
convinced all his hearers that his
tory is being better taught every
day.
A little rustle of excitement was
caused at this point by the entrance
of Professor JohnGGannon, the state
e superintendent of public instruc
tion, and from the pleased looks
upon-the faces of all we judge-that
all were anxious to express the wel
come they felt.
Professor Gannon entered at once
into the spirit of those present and
was immediately interested in the
subject under discussion. He gave
us :some very good suggestions on
the study of history.
The session was adjourned at re
ceas to afford the teachers an op
portunity to attend the trial at the
court house, Mrs. Hunter very kind
ly consenting to the adjournment.
As representing the visiting
teachers we take this opportunity
of extending our very sincere and
heartfelt thanks to the ladies of
Livingston who so kindly opened
their homes to us during our stay
here, and so cheerfully gave their
time and presence to make it as
pleasant as possible for those at
tending the institute. Our thanks
are also extended to all who have
in any way contributed to make
the institute a success.

8 A POPULAR FAMILY.
S JsWanr.: " fow is it, Kate, that you always
seem to 'catch on ' to the last new thing ? Do
what I may, you always seem to get ahead
of me."
KATE: "I don't know: I certainly do not
make any exertion in that direction."
e JE.Ni : " Well, duringtho last few months,
for example, you have taken up painting,
, . ,. 1
rA
wf ithout any teacher ;' you came to the rescue
when Miss Lafarge deserted her Delsarte class
so sudidenly, and certainly we are all improv
iug in grace under your instruction; I heard
Syou telling Tommy Eames last evening how
'is club made mistakes in playing baseball;
-ou seem to be up on all the latest 'fads,' and
, know just what to do under all circumstances;
you entortain beautifully; and in the last
month you have im proved so in health, owing,
you tell me, tq your physical culture exercises.
S\heire d yodi get all of your information'
from in this little out-of-the way place?-for
you never go to the"city."
K aTE: " Why. Jenme, you will make me
Svain. I have only one source of information
but it is surprising how it meets all wants. I
:t.ery seldom hear of anything new but what
'the next few days bring me full information
on the subject. Magic? Nol Magazine!
And a great treasure it is to us all, for it
I really furnishes the reading for the whole
household; father has given up his magazine
that he has taken for years, as he says this
one gives more and better information on
3 the subjects of the day; and mother says
that it is that that makes her such a famous
r hou.sekeepdr. In fact, we all agree that it is
the only really FAMILY magazine published,
as we have sent for samples of all of them
and find that one is all for men, another.all
' for women, and another for children only,
while this one suits every one of us; so we
only need to take one instead of several, and
:that is where the economy comes in, for it is
3 only $83.0( a year. Perhaps you think I am
too lavish In my praiso; but I will let you see
ours, or, better still, send 10 cents to the pub
lishbor, W. Jennings Demorest, 15 East 14th
Street, New York for a sample copy, and I
shall always consider that I have done you
a great favor; and may be you will be cutting
us out, as you say we have the reputation of
being the best informed family in town. If
that be so, it is Demorest's Family Maigazine
