TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
A Good Attendance of Onr Teachers J
From concord and Throntrhout
the Connty Interesting- Talks On
Different Subjects.
Tuesday an 2 p. m , Prof. Sharpe
resumed the study of h' story, sug
gesting the gentle steps from fairy
tales taught orally to such fascinas
tioLS as Robinsou Crusoe, then biog
raphy, rtc., all the while leading
the child by easy stages along win-1
ning paths,
At 230 Prof. Joyner treated the
subject of .numbers. He would be-
gin the presentation of numbers by
the concrete rather than the ab
Cl aotr . i
A child concedes of fife fin-
gers more readily than the abstract
number 5 . He warned against too
much explanation, but also drew the
dedicate line where the child must
be helped and guided lest it become
weakened bv discouragement.
vAt 3 o'clock Prof. Sharpe took
up the study of teoarraphv. Ic
is
easily taught, as it is readily adopted
by the child. It is well adapted to
develop the observation and the im
agination. He would begin with
local objects, their positions and
distanosB relatively to a given point
proceeding by gentle steps to the
general. 21 aeper mieresi an u
more skillful presentation should be

the Dhvsical man is school culture to
the child, the teacher bein the
trainer or guide.
The principle of development is
exercise. The teacher must arrange
and adapt these exercises. Exer
cise that iB pleasant is always profi to
able save when abnormally excited.
Wednesday morning Prof. 8harpe
took up methods of teaching. He
sa bdivided bis theme dwelling chiefly
cn intuition. We form our con
elusions by ob ervatious that must
be verified by scrutinizing all the be known after this as the Buffalo

At 10 o'clock Rev. J E Faust ad open at the cleg,Q and aeminary on

going into tne minutiae or tne ners
yous system, showing the mysterious
ramification of the nerves and the
processes of transmission of sense
and the power to act either volun-
tarily or involuntarily. i
An arithmetical query had been
placed in the box Tuesday which
Prof. Ludwig proceeded to solve. It
was like this: A had a hog of 400
pounds, B had a hog of 200 pounds,
They sold in lump for 36, which
was 6 cents per pound. But the
heavier hog was worth a premium
on the market of 1 cent per pound
what shall be the amount for each ?
The Prof eeaor proceeded by the
supposition forsake of solution that
had B's pork been worth as much as
A's he would have gotten oce cent
per pound more, -which would have
aggregated $33 for the hoge; $38
600 ponnda .06i. This would be
the price per pound for A'a psrk .
B'a then would be 051; 400 pounds
x 6J cents 25.33 J; 200 pounds x
5i cent3-l0.66i. Th two
amounts added make 36. To pro
ceed from the smaller basis and add
one cent for the larirpr will Krinol
- v
the same results.
Prof. Sharpe then resumed! the
subject of numbers and illustrated
the simple and easy way in which
the young mind gains a conception
of the four fundamental processes
of arithmetical solution.
Prof. Sharpe then treated how to
study a subject. He would divide it
into tnniOB. T?!Yri trmin oh nnl1 nnn
into topics. Each topic should coni

On Tuesday the cotton pickers
could be seen at work in one of the
fields of Esq. R W . Allison, getting

cotton gin was singing a new song.
Iu a few hours the sample was on
the market, the first of the season.
This is thefirstoae heard of yet,
and to Mr. Allison be ascribed the
praise. The bale was bought by

Not Yet Decided. .
All of the bids for the putting in
of the sewerage pipes were handed
in last week, but on account of some
points yet, no decision, has been
made in regard to the contract.
However, this will not delay the
work, as the piping and cement has
been ordered for whoever gets the
contract.
