Letter from the Go. Superintendent
Mr. Editor :—I proposed to you,
sometime since, to discuss, through
your Iutelligencer, th© subject of
Teachers Institutes—to inquire after
tho best method of conducting the
same.
As a portion of the funds of the
State is appropriated lo defray the ex
penses of these lustitutes, the public
have a right to see, and to kuow, that
the greatest possible amount of good
is derived from the appropriation.
There are two systems in vogue for
conducting the lustitutes. One is,
the Lecture system the other the
Drill system. According to tho for
mer, they are not regarded as schools,
but simply an attendance on lectures.
According to the latter, they are re
garded as model schoUs, and each mem
ber as a pupil. Iu the Eastern States,
the drill system, I think, entirely pre
vails iu the Weutcrn, wo find the
lecture system. Wo know that stu
dents iu medicine, iu many of the
States, aro compelled to attend a
course of lectures before tliey can ob-
a qualification but these lectures arc
geutleman of vivid imagination, who always the finishing up of their pro
does not always clearly discriminate1 fession^l studies. As far as my kowl
betwuen objective realities aud sub-'edge extends, onr teachers here, in
jectivs conceptions—between what' the west, have not yet arrived at that
was said to him and what he thinks point in their studies when a course
of lectures would fiuisli up their peda
gogical knowledge. They need drill
ing. They need teaching. By the
lecture system, the members are mere-i
The Theory of teaching, which
any one can read at leisure, is often
made the subject of the lecture for
ncarly the wholo session of the Iusti-j
tute. The practical part, always the «reM
,ectcd-
bers at the close of tbe Institute, than 1
at its commencement. Some few leading
members, perhaps, as an illustration,
may be called out and something
about their qualifications ascertained
but the retired oues, those less ad
vanced, those who need most to be in
structed are entirely overlooked.
The only objection to the drill sys
tem seems to be, want of time. Whatj
can you do with a school in six days, i
is the tauuting phrase against it. Ac
cording to my judgment and experi
ence, much can be done in six days.
Wholo regimeuts and divisions of au
army are reviewed and made to go
through the manual of arms in a single
day. The officers give the word aud
each soldier is made to go through
with the maneuver. Not oue is ex
cused. The review is for tbe express
purpose of ascertaining whether each
man aud officer understands military
tactics. Sir, in these Institutes, a
thorough review of all the common
school branches should be had. If
the members of the Institute were
organized iuto a school, and the whole
time of tho week economically hus
banded, the whole courso of studies
demanded in our common schools
might be reviewed. Princi might
be explaiued, knotty questions divest
ed of their intricacv, aud no member
Again, if six days are not enough,
better take six more than to lose the
whols. Iu the State of New York, In
stitutes are always held two weeks,
aud no State aid is given. The meiu*
bers pay their own board, and tax
themselves to pay their lecturers and
teachers. They have teachers for tbe
days and lecturers for the evenings.
1 bring this matter before the publio
for their investigation. Upon which
