Stilson and Prof. Baskeryille Conduct the Teach- ers’ Institute. | | | | | i \ As a feature of public school work in Minnesota the teachers’ institute has found a permanent place among |the most advanced educators of the state, and the splendid results of these annual reviews in better equipping the teachers tor their work has be- | come so conspicuous as to be regard- ed as an indispensible element in the present advancement that is marking {with renewed splendor the closing ‘years of the nineteenth century. In the school rooms of this republic to- jday is to be tound the best and brightest and most ennobling of this generation of American men and women. From the pubiic schools only will it be possible for this great nation to realize the prophesies of the fathers who pictured a tuture that has |never yet been known. The very foundation of government is first en- trusted to the teachers who mould} the minds of school children, and _ for that great reason the parents especi- ally have sufficient reason to be thank- ful that highminded, patriotic men and women have superceded the old- time pedagogue of long ago. A gratifying lustration of the work that is going on in public school circles was given in Grand Rapids during the past week under the leader- ship of Mesdames Jaques and Gray, !County Superintendent Mrs. O. H. Stilson and Pnncipal Baskerville. ‘There was a full attendance daily and the interest taken was a most delight- fui surprise to the able instructors. The object of the institute is to teach the teachers, to enlist a greater inter- est in school methods and for the} adoption of the most advanced plans | that experience has developed. In these respects it is said by competent judges that Minnesota stands first among the states of the union, and if we may judge*from the institute just closed, Mrs. Jaques and Mrs. Grey jshould be classed among the most ; successful of the leaders. The number enrolled for the week was. 31, and the members of the class will be un- animous in declaring that it was the most ‘profitable week of their lives. Promptly at 9 o'clock Monday mor- !ning the institute was convened and msructions continued each day until Friday evening. ‘The followmg pro- gram of exercises was’ foliowed for the daily sessions: g:00a. m. opening exercises; 9:20, afithmetic, Mrs. Jaques; 10:00, history, Mrs, Grey; | desired work was concluded yesterday evening. On Monday the In:titute was opened by singing the old familar, patriotic song, “My Country,” after | which Miss Edith Crosely gave a| recitation, which was very much ap- preciated by all present, “Old Ken- tucky Home” was then sung by all and preparations were begun for the first lesson, arithmetic. As will be seen by the program Mrs. Jaques conducted this lesson, Her pleasant, gemal manner made all feel at home, immediately she | commenced to address the class, and interest being awakened, good work was at once begun which lasted through the entire week. Mrs. Jaques commenced at the begining, with a unit of measurement, as a basis. Many splendid ideas were gained, which will be of great help to the teachers. One teacher, having made the mistake of measuring but one board when the measurements of two boards were required, was asked to take the rule and find the measurement. This was to show the way a teacher should deal with a child who had not prepared the lesson, namely, have the child prepare it at once. Therefore this teaches that the child must prepare his of her lesson. In speaking of teaching the cubic measure, Mrs. Jaques spoke of using objects, such as the inch or two inca cube until the children thorougly understood solids. The question was then asked by a married woman, “what will the coutry teacher, who have no blocks, do?” ‘Fhe answer was “It would only take your hnsband a short time to make you some. You have not all husbands but they cost very little” The His- tory period, conducted by Mrs. Gray, followed the arithmetic. She has de- voted a great deal of time to this branch ana makes a very interesting study of it. She first asked the teach- ers to give the outline of a course in history, which would be considered a good one for a pupil leaving school. ‘There were many answers but it was decided that the pupils should com mence with that history in which he was most interested, and that would! suggest other books which he wonld care to read until his circle would be a very wide one. ‘Thehistory of the Massachusetts Bay Colony was es- pecaiily considered by Mrs. Gray, in which she suggested her metiaod of making history interesting. it certainly proved very interesting, judging from the discussions which took place. Geography and lierature were also Mrs. Gray’s subjects. In geography it was decided that mathematical geography should be raphy last. Although all were not at first agreed that this order of teaciing And; studied first, physical geography to be considered next and poliucal geog- reasons why it should’ be so and so The child, if given a ¥ can think for himself, and takes great pleasure in being able to do. so; it also awakens, in the child an im terest in an exceedingly dry subject. The “Merchant of Venice” was the jsubject of study in the literature period. The most beautiful parts | were pointed out, the different char- acters were described and formed into three groupes. It was anexceedingly | Antenssitrg study with but one draw- back, the very short time of one week in which to study it with so able an instructor as Mrs. Grey. In Grammer, the subjects and predi- cates ofsentences were especially considered. Mrs. Jaques first asked for the analysis of a stanza from Lowell. She dwelt considerably on the grammatical predicate and verb, | showing of what they might consist and her manner of teaching it. Had there, before, been any doubt in the} minds of the members of the institute | with regard to how those subjects} should be taught, it would have been | entirely washed away when the series of grammer lessons were finshed Physical exercises were ,also under the direction of Mrs.- Jaques and were very interesting and beautiful. In school management Mrs. Jaques its objects, next the management of the school was considered. Mrs. Jacques did not talk of what she thought could be and ought to be done. She has had a great deal of practical experience and has not been confined to city schools. It would | he difficult to find an instructor who could better have talked on this sub- ject than did Mrs. Jaques She also taught many pretty songs with which to open and close school. The music was also put upon the board and allthe members of the institute were given the privilege of copying them, which kindness they highly appreciated Nor was all the subjects left to the two very able instructors Mrs. | Grey and Mrs. Jaques. Mr. Basker- ville gave an excellent series of short lectures on the evils occasioned by slant hand writing in our schools and the good results that have been ob- tained by the use of the vertical sys/ tem. He also gave practical lessons, ‘just such as he would give in the school room. He also showed his in- terest to such an extent that he ran out copies of the letters of the alpha- bet, together with other suggestions for the aid of outside teachers. If all had not, before this institute com- menced, been convinced of the merits of the vertical system, they certainly must have been at its close.

Martin Dufficy was first municated with relative to the vidual supposed to be Lewis t a cousin of Dufficy’s who liv the south and who had been famihar with the circumstances of th cnme. It was said that the man suspected had cunfided to a woman with whom he had been living that he had killed a man in northern Minne- sota and related sufficient of the particulars to give rise to the sus- picion that he was the much wanted Tom Lewis. Further investigation by a United States marshal of Mis- sissippt convinced him that he had his optic on the right man. A picture of Lewis wassent to the officer and he sent word immediately that there was positively no mistake, and that Lewis , might be bad for the taxing. While i Attorney McCarthy and , Sheriff} A ‘Toole felt that there was still room for’ another case of mistaken identity, yet ¥ the evidence was quite sufficient to justify investigation, and as a_col quence Mer~Toole~started south last Monday morning.
