The "except ye repent," would not have the thrilling effect which those par ables had. The Rev. Mr. Gray, on Mental Arithmetic, propounded numerous examples to be solved by the members, and illustrated their solution, much to the satisfaction of the Institute. He also explained, by means of the blocks, the rationale of the usual mode of extracting the cube root. The effect upon the mind resulting from a want of a suitable education, is well seen in the evening Mr. Perkins, on Physical Geography, described schools of our great metropolis.

I do not remember ever open- this Institute. ing a book before my pupils, (except in algebra, for the purpose of finding problems for them to solve) during the twenty years of my experience in teaching. There are very great advantages in being thoroughly versed in the various branches we endeavor to teach. By mastering the whole subject, it is easy to vary the mode of presenting it, and thus awaken new interest on the part of the scholar. I cannot look with complaisance on those teachers who, with a book of questions in their hands, ask and answer them like so many machines. They remind me of Jack's "cast iron parsons," and are probably just as intelligent. Gutta Percha would make as good a teacher as one of this character. We should knock these props out from under us, and depend more upon ourselves. Suppose all books were burned up, and scholars were to ask their teachers the same questions they had given to them during the week, how many think you, would be found to surpass their pupils ? On the reconvention of the Institute, the exercises were commenced, and afterwards enlivened by the execution of some choice musical compositions, by a choir of ladies and gentlemen of Chester, who kindly volunteered for that purpose. A spirited discussion ensued on the question of prizes and rewards in schools, in which Messrs. Smith, Deans, Stetson, Carpenter and others participated. after which the Institute adjourned till Saturday at Rev. Isaac Gray delivered a lecture on Astronomy, of a highly interesting and instructive character. He described the real and apparent motions of the heavenly bodies, explained at some length the calendar, referred to the ennobling character of the science, and closed with a beautiful and eloquent peroration on the extent and grandeur of the universe. The Bishop was followed by Mr. Burns, of Phila- Mr. Carpenter delivered an amusing declamation, delphia, who illustrated the Pantographic method of education, by means of a large portfolio of pic-nine o'clock, A.

The great principle which these were designed to enforce, is that of representing to the eye, as far as may be possible, the leas to be taught. He took the position that the most proper method of storing the mind with useful knowledge, is the one best calculated to diseipline it. The Institute then adjourned till half-past one o'clock, P. M. THIRD DAY'S SESSION. The minutes of Friday were read and approved. On calling the roll, the following teachers of the county answered to their names :— Bethuel B. Thompson, Miles T.

The Secretary offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the Teachers' Institute of Delaware county entertain a high sense of the courtesy and liberality of the citizens of Chester, who have so cheerfully and amply provided for the accommodation and entertainment of the teachers from a distance, present at this session; and that it is with great satisfaction, we bear this public testimony to their kindness and hospitality. Resolved, That the thanks of the Institute are due to John Larkin, Jr., Esq., for the gratuitous use of Fulton Hall, during the present session. Resolved, That a vote of thanks be, and the same is hereby tendered to Bishop Potter, Mr. Perkins, Mr. Carpenter, of Rhode Island, Mr. Burns, of Philadelphia, and all others from abroad, who have already instructed, and who may hereafter during the present session, lecture before and instruct the Institute. The following members were elected officers of the President-Rev. ISAAC GRAY. Secretaries-Dr. C. P. Hart, Albin Williams. Mr. Deans on Algebra, explained some of the fundamental rules in that science, particularly the one relating to the multiplication of binomial quantities. On motion of Rev Mr. Gray, it was Resolved, That a committee be appointed to report at the next session of the Institute, on the best manner of conducting Teachers' Institutes, and on the best plan of raising means for supplying themselves with able instructors from abroad. The Chair appointed Rev. Isaac Gray, Dr. C. J. Morton and John McCay said committee. Dr Hart on Geometry, demonstrated ten new propositions relating to certain oblique-angled triangles, whereby, if two sides and the included angle be given, the other side may be found without the aid of trigonometry. The first two he had demonstrated at the previous session of the Institute; the other eight he has discovered since. The following enunciation will answer for all, by making the proper substitutions as below: Prop. B.-Theorem. In every triangle having an angle of 60°, the square of the side subtending said angle, is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the triangle, minus the rectangle of those sides. Substitute in the above as follows: Prop. B., 120°, plus. Prop. C., 30°. minus 31 (=1.73205+) times. Prop. E., 150, minus (2+3)+ (=1.93185+) times. Prop. G., 45°, minus 2 (=1.41421+) times. Prop. I., 75°, minus (2-3)+(=517638+) times. Prop. J., 1050, plus (2—3) times. In the afternoon, Prof. Howard, of the Philadel phia High School, delivered a very interesting lecture on History, which, on motion, was unanimously requested for publication. Mr. Carpenter followed on Reading, illustrating the principles of emphasis, inflection and modula tion, by a large number of examples which he read before the Institute. Dr. Hotchkin offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to present to Mr. Hodgson the cordial thanks of this Association for his offer of a column of his paper for the use of the Teachers and friends of education of this county, and inform him that we will avail our. selves of his liberal offer. Resolved, That the Association will appoint an editor, through whom proper communications shall be sent to the paper. The Chair appointed Mr. Deans to the office created by the last resolution. [The Secretary deems it due to Mr. Walter, to state, that the above resolutions, and the action taken upon them, were not intended, in any wise, to reflect upon him, or his valuable paper. They can ouly be regarded as a courteous reply to the liberal offer of Mr. Hodgson. Any other construction than this would do violence to the spirit in which the resolu tions were passed.] On motion, the following question was adopted for discussion at the next meeting of the Institute. Should the Teachers be admitted to the practice of their profession, in the same manner as the members of other learned professions are admitted to theirs-i. e., by a diploma from a College or Associ ation of members of the profession, and only such as are so admitted, be recognized by law as Teachers? On motion, it was unanimously resolved to hold the next session of the Institute at Fulton Hall, Chester. Mr. Deans made some appropriate remarks on the auspicious close of the session; and after wishing the members a safe return to their homes, the Institute adjourned sine die. C. P. HART, Secretary.

In pursuance of a call from the School Directors of Bloom township, the citizens of the district met at the Court House in Bloomsburg, on Wednesday evening, December 12th. The meeting was organized by electing THOMAS J. MORRIS, Esq., President, and Daniel Lee and Robert C. Fruit, Secretaries. John G. Freeze, Esq., on behalf of the Board of School Directors, stated that they had called the public together for the purpose of resigning their office. The Board had endeavored by all means in its power to establish good schools for the correct education of every man's child, and to maintain proper order, discipline and decorum in these schools. The Directors freely contributed their time and attention to the care and management of the schools, and had used their best judgment in the decision of the many matters connected with the interests of parents, teachers and scholars. If they were to be maligned for their service, they desired that the people would now select six other men, and into their hands the present Board would surrender its trust and office. Mr. E. Armstrong moved that the present Board of Directors be continued. Mr. Wm. McKelvy desired to amend, that a committtee of investigation be appointed to report all the facts of the difficulty which had given occasion amendment with some earnest remarks. for calling the present meeting. He urged the Mr. Freeze desired to explain that by the law and the practice of the Common School system, the Board of Directors was the body before and by whom such an investigation as was proposed could alone be made. That investigation the Board had made fully Jackson-Peter Witmer, Isaac S.

Witmer, Christian Bucher. Cold Spring-Tobias K. Bender. On motion, the President appointed Messrs. F. Phillips, S. T. McAdam, Daniel Balsbaugh, Cyrus Boger and Jacob Nitrauer, a Committee to draft a severe punishment. He desired it to be understood by all, that if the resignation now tendered was not accep ted, the schools would all be continued by the "same teachers and in the same manner as heretofore; and that the Directers would use all their authority to maintain proper discipline and order in ths schools." Some further remarks were made by Messrs. McKelvy and Freeze. Rev. D. J. Waller proposed to amend the form then offered by Rev. A. J. Armstrong.

If in that time they were guilty of any misdemeanor or malicious and wilful wrong, there was a remedy in the courts of the land. This meeting could not properly here discuss and decide any difficulty or action from which the call for it sprung; but whatever difference of opinion there might be as to severity or propriety of correction, no such desperate case was presented as could justify an entire revolution, and the immediate deposi tion of the Directors. Such action here would create anarchy and riotousness in the schools, and confusion and embarrassment in any new Board of Directors who could be induced to undertake their management.

He glanced at the defective modes yet too prevalent, and urged teachers to be right, and then their schools would generally be right also. T. S. Briggs made some excellent remarks upon the importance of good reading. He considered it second to no other educational acquirement in our schools. Mr. Langdon, teacher from Carbon county, spoke of the evils of using text books out of date. After singing by the Juvenile choir, the evening session closed with prayer by the Rev. G. A. John son.

He had himself been saved by a kind friend who took him by the hand, and he believed that teachers ought to hold on to their bad scholars and save them if possible. Mr. Briggs made some very just remarks on the importance of studying the different characteristics and dispositions of scholars, in order to know better how to inflict punishment. He would use the rod as a last resort. Mr. Marcy said that the object of punishment is reformatory.He said that teachers must secure the love of their scholars by first loving them.

Mr. Marcy, chairman of the committee on resolutons, reported the following, which, after discussion by Rev. A. J. Armstrong, Rev. H. S. Mendenhall, Marcy, Briggs, Porter, Richardson, and others, were unanimously adopted. The committee on resolutions for to-day's sesssion respectfully submit the following: Resolved, Inasmuch as we deem a frequent exercise in composition of indispensable importance to teachers generally, and especially to the junior class; and as we believe that a frequent interchange of views among them, upon educational topics would tend greatly to promote the best interests of the cause throughout the county; Therefore, Resolved, That we make a proposition through our County Superintendent, to the Editors of the "Record of the Times" published at Wilkesbarre, to appropriate a space in the columns of their valuable Journal, to the use of the teachers of Luzerne county, and further, that we earnestly recommend, in case this proposition shall be received, that all the teachers of the county become subscribers for, and occasional contributors to the columns of that paper. Resolved, That we strongly recommend the establishment of Teachers' Associations in every district in the county, to be held monthly or semi-monthly, as may best suit the convenience of the particular locality; and also, that we cordially invite all the teachers of every district in the county, to meet with us, at the call of our County Superintendent, some time during the Spring of 1856, at some central point in the county, for the purpose of organizing a County "Teacher's Association" exceeded our most sanguine expectations, that we Resolved, That we recommend to teachers gener- Resolved, That we request the " Times," and other papers friendly to the cause, to 'Record of the publish the minutes of this Convention and also the address of Mr. Marcy. the juvenile choir for the excellent singing with which Resolved, That we return our warmest thanks to they have entertained us.
