state normal school, wag introduced
and spoke ou School Management,
after which Dr. T. B. Noss, of California state normal school, addressed
the institute on the theme, The Successful Teacher.
In the evening Dr. J. B. DeMotte
delivered his lecture, The Harp of
the 'Senses, or the Seoret of Character
Building. This lecture was one of
the finest we have ever listened to and
it would be a mistake to undertake to
give our readers a synopsis of it.'
Prof. DeMotte has an international
fame, both as a lecturer and as a
scientist, and one should never let
pass the opportunity to hear him.
Tuesday Sessions.
The teachers' session was called to
order at 8.30 o'clock by Prof. J. O.
Smith.
The topic, What is demanded of
our Public Schools, was .opened by
J. A. Thompson. The rectification
of wrongs placed on pupils at indifferent homes by indifferent parents,
is oue demand. A longer term is demanded in the rural districts. The
teacher is demanded to have the elements of a teacher, doctor and minister in order that he may deal with
the mental, physioal and spiritual.
The subjeot was further discussed by
A. G. Thompson, Daniel Stains, J. L.
Euyeart and Prof. J. B. Boring.
At the opening of the regular session Prof. Smith gave a music drill
and Dr. Freeman conduoted the devotional exercises. Dr. Noss discussed Educative Geography. The
remainder of the forenoon was occupied with a musio drill and an address by Dr. Barton on Sohool Discipline.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
Dr. Noss spoke on Our Home Valley, whioh ho introduced by an im-
aginary dialogue with the Monongahela, the purpose of which was to
show what our rivers will teaoh. The
study of geography should go hand in
hand with history and arithmetic.
Supt. Benson spoke on the subject
of Hygienic Physiology. He emphasized the fact that muoh of the progress of sooiety depends on the important study of hygiene.
Dr. Barton oooupied the last period in discussing Mistakes of Teaching*
In the eveniug H. H. Emmett, the
celebrated Indian orator, delivered
his lecture, The Indian Question, to
a large audienoe. In it he discussed
the origin of his people, tbeir home
life and their treatment by the government. It was a plea for justice.
He supported bis assertions by historical facts which are indisputable.
Mr. Emmett is an orator in every
seuse of the term and his effort at
Huntingdon justifies all the good
things said of him.
Wednesday's Sessions.
The teachers' session was called to
order by W. W. Cutshall. Thesuo-
jeot for the morning, The Teacher's
Relation to Outside Influences, was
opened by B. S. Landis. The discussion was continued by J. H.Tate,
9. B. Sorrick, Howard Strong, J. G.
Kyper, D. W. Irvin, D. L. Dickson j
and countries with our own State;
compare other countries with the
United States. The population in
the Amerfcas per square mile is only
8 persons, while in Europe and Asia
it is several times more. If Texas
were placed on the map of Europe it
would oover all the country between
London and Warsaw from the North
to the Mediterranean sea. The western section of our country is characteristic of largeness. Of the twenty-
two States west of the Mississippi,
only three are less than all New England. More than 40,000 miles of
rivers flow east of the Bookies, while
Europe has but 17,000 miles. If a
bridge were| plaoed across the mouth
of the Amazon, a train at average
speed would be seven hours in crossing. The saloons of the city of London placed on one street would reach
40 miles. In 1790, tbree p-rr cent.
of our population was in cities and
towns, while in 1890 more than twenty-nine per cent, was in towns and
cities. Everything in the subject can
be taught by comparison and contrast.
Prof. Smith after a musio drill gave
an interesting talk on the subjeot,
Voice Culture.
Dr. Noss occupied the next period
with a talk on Psychology, basing his
remark1, on the work of John Frederick Herbart, a German professor.
One thought the speaker emphasized
was the necessity of making the work
in the school room of suoh a character that the boy will not stop when
school days are over but will go on
searching for knowledge as long as he
lives.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
After a musio drill Dr. Noss continued his psychological talk begun
in the forenoon.
Prof. Smith disoussed musical
tones. Three-fourths of vocal cult*
nre is mind culture and the more intelligent the pupil the greater the
progress.
Bev. 0. E. Creitz made a most eloquent plea tor tbe "Women's Christian Temperrnce Alliance." Intemperance is the greatest factor in the
great work which has given us our
1,500,000 tramps which are constantly circulating among us. In a comparison of twelve families he showed
that the twelve temperate families
raised fifty ohildren that had sound
minds in sound bodies, while the
twelve intemperate families raised but
five, the remainder of the ohildren of
the intemperate families were dwarfed
both in body and mind.
The remainder of the afternoon
session was taken up by Dr. M. G.
Brumbaugh in discussing. The Place
of the Book and the Teacher. He
was warmly greeted by the teachers
and his remarks were closely listened
to.
In the evening the Arion Lady
Quartette of Chicago gave an entertainment. These ladies are excellent
musicians and their voioes showed
diligent culture.
Thursday's Sessions.
The teachers'   session opened at
8.B0 by L. E. Boyer.   Tbe Teacher's
I Motives was the topic for discussion i
sion was continued by G. E. Taylor,
J. K. Arohie, and D.  L. Dickson.
Miss Elizabeth Heifner gave an interesting class exercise by the pupils
of ber school.
The regular session was opened by
a song service aud devotional exercises were conducted by Bev. B. J.
Hummel. The first period was occupied by Mr. Brown who recommended the course ofthe Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle as a valuable aid to teachers or pupils in
search of knowledge.
Dr. Noss discussed Teachers for
To-morrow. This was a good theme
and the speaker tried to impress his
hearers to do tbeir work in a Christian-like manner.
After a musical exercise Supt. Benson discussed penmanship.
Dr. M. G. Brumbaugh gave a scientific talk on the Doctrine of Correlation.
THUBSDAY   AFTERNOON.
Dr. Brumbaugh occupied the flrst
period in discussing Systems of Education. The doctor is recognized as
one ofthe most eminent educators of
the day and in this brief talk he imparted much information on the history of education. We are eorry we
have not space to reproduce it.
After a music drill, Dr. Noss discussed Some Lessons from Germany.
The doctor spent considerable time in
Germany during the past few years,
studying the educational system of
that country.
Miss Harriet Sanderson, a five-year-
old lady, of Huntingdon, favored tbe
audience with a select reading.
Hon. John Q. Stewart, deputy
superintendent af public instruction,
addressed the institute. This being
the directors' session his remarks
were largely for their benefit and instruction. No system of education
in the world is superior fo our own.
Pennsylvania should and may, if she
will do all she can, lead the world iu
the work of education. It is tbe
duty of the teacher to mould the
character of the next generation.
The teacher's work is a most noble
one and directors should compensate
them so that they can give their
whole life to this great work. The
director has more power along the
line of sohool work than any other
one in society, hence we should bo
careful who wo let get on the board*
None but progressive men should be
on the board, and as soon as a man
grows careless he should be dropped.
But we should aid the director because his is a hard office to fill with
competency. He has to bear so many
things from all olasses. The director must bear the children in mind
and eleot none but wholly good moral
persons to the position of teaoher.
Pennsylvania expends more money
for her schools than all tbe South Atlantio States, yet these States pay
their teachers better tban does Pennsylvania. He most earnestly pleads
for better pay for the teaoher. The
time is here when we should have a
legal term' of seven months instead
of only six months. We oannot educate our pupils unless we give them
more time iu our schools. The teaoher is tbo guardian of the children and
therefore the director should help the
teaoher. The directors should not
turn out a teaoher at the' end of a
term if he is u success. It is just as
patriotic to work tor good schools as
to sacrifice life in defence of his coun-
try.
In the evening Dr. Palmer delivered his lecture, The Die-No-Mores,
is was a
reminiscence of Go* D, 48th New York
regiment, of whioh tbe dootor is the
only survivor. His discription of the
assault on Fort Wagner, July 18,1863
and of the manner in whioh his comrades met their death was vivid and
eloquent.
Fbiday'8 Session.
The teachers' session was called to
order at 8.30 by J. K. Leader. The
topic, Our Outlook was opened by
S. W. MoGlure and discussion was
continued by D. L. Anderson, D. L.
Dickson and G. M. Cutchall.
Prof. P. W. W. Pressel disoussed
Diversity in Teaching.
After a musical exercise Dr. Brumbaugh continued his talk on Various .
Systems of Education.
Dr. Noss complimented the teachers for their attention and took leave
o- the institute.
A most pleasant part of the session was the presenting Supt. Budy
with a splendid gold watch. The address of piesentation was made by
Prof. W. M. Benson. Supt. Budy
responded by some very sympathetic
remarks in which he thanked the
teachers not only for the watch but
for the aid they have given him iu
his work.
The following report of committee
on resolutions was adopted:
Whereas, The success of the fortieth Institute of the teachers of Huntingdon county
is due In a large measure to the efforts of onr   -
County Superintendent, be it.
Resolved, That we tender oor thanks to
Supt. Budy for the able corps of Instructors
and the superior grade of evening entertainments that he has provided.
Resolved. That we recommend to the di*'
rectors of our respective districts the adoption of the graded course of study for ungraded schools, as used in Bedford and Somerset
counties and that we will endeavor to put it
into operation in our respective schools by
the begining of our next school term.
Resolved, That we are in thorough sympathy with the cause of temperanoe and pledge'
our earnest efforts to the promotion of the
same.
Resolved, That as we believe that the welfare of onr profession demands that the character of the teacher shall be above suspioton,
we commend and endorse the aotion of our'
County Superintendent in refusing to-graut
certificates to persons of in temperate habits,
and approve his aotion in appealing to tbe
higher courts.
Resolved, That we return to onr schools
with renewed zeal and greater love for tho
cause we represent.

HOW TO PREVENT CROUP.
ROME READING THAT WILL PROVE INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS. HOW TO GOARD
AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Croup is a terror to young mothers aud to*
post them concerning the oause, first symp-'
toms and treatment is the object of this item.
The origin of croup is a common oold. Chil-'
dren who are subject to it take cold very easily
and oroup is sure te follow. The first symptom
is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a rough
cough, which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has heard t
The time to act is when the child becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy is
freely given all tendency to croup will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy cough has
developed it will prevent the attack. There
is no danger lu giving this remedy for it con*
