ALFRED COOPER, Kpitob, i Kir thanks are due to Mr. Henry w, Hand for xuuuy . courtesies shown us during the session* of tho Institute. Also to V. N. Errickson and Mr. Lawrence. Mr. F. W, Bounett will please accept our thanks for the February, March, and April number* of "Targum," a monthly journal issued at Rutgers College by the Targum Association. • « < The space taken up with the pro* feedings of tho Teacher's Institute in this week's Gaxbtte, compels us to omit much editorial matter, but we think our readers will find our report of the proceedings to bo the fullest and most complete of any published. There seems to be a feeling growing up in tho minds of many that can not but be ii\jurious in the end. We refer to the desire to break up, in one way or another, some of our best Insurance Companies. We hear every day complaints that this company will not pay this policy, or that company will not pay that policy, and we hear them called thieves, scoundrels, and other such titles. Now we do not mean to say that all Insurance companies are as upright as they might bo, but the law gives every man liis redress when he has been defrauded, Mnd if one company happens to "slip out" without paying a loss we can see no reason why other companies should be made to bear the odium. Thun there are two sides to many of these complaints, and people with good sound judgement con sec that corporations have rights which people are bound to respect and which, they promise to respect when they pluee • policy upon their property.

In the matter of altering the court house there seems to be considerable feeling, both for and against, among the citizens of this township, and no matter what the board of Freeholders may decide upon, they will no doubt be severely criticised for either their action or their inaction. W hile . majorities affi- ... tho fundamental principles of our government that the majority shall rule, and tho question that now presents itself is this: Is the majority of the tax payers, of the county of Cape May, in favor of spending u few hundred dollars for the needed repairs, or do they prefer to pnv the increase in the court expenses, that will probably follow the refusal of the Freeholders to make the alterations? That t(?e court house is too small, and the ventilntion poor, is a fact that will admit of no urgument, and, as we said before, tho only question, to be argued Is," which is the better of the two expenses, one of which will without a doubt be incurred? In our opinion it would be better to Bj>end a moderate sum of tho 0 - . " vmxt " efoby . ^ .on* qt than to be called upon to pay several hundred dollars per year for increased court expenses, which would be of no benefit whatever to the county. But one thing is certain ; tho matter should bo definutely settled one way or the other, as wo shall certainly bo reminded of it once in every four months, until something is done.

TEACHERS1 INSTITUTE. Cape May Co. Teachers' Institute met at the Court House, on Monday morning May 3rd, at 11 o'clock, and organized with Mr. V. X. Errickson as president. rlhe usual committees were appointed as follows : On Programme, Messrs, Vannaman, Grace and Purdy. Music — Purdy and Hand. Resolutions — Lawrence, Reeves, and Goff. Rev. Mr. Caulwoll opened tho Institute with prayer, after which the nicin- ! bars of tho press, Ministers of the town, ! and School Trustees were made honorary member* of the Institute. Miss Emma Bennett was chosen assistant secretary. A discussion followed in* to how the Modem Methods compare with t hose of years ago, conducted hv .1. F Learning, and |»trticipnted „ hers of the Institute. At 12 < «, ad- i journed to meet at .1.30 P. M., in tho i school room. APTKftXOOX IRSSfny, Institute met at 1.30 o'clock. Prof. E. V. DeGrafl', of Albany, X. Y.. lectured upon teaching, his particular subject being "Definitions." The methods of objective teaching were applied to nn analysis of the history of tho Battle of i Bunker Hill, and no doubt but all i present were greatly benefited by it, « Intermiwion of 10 minutes, followed by j Musio, after which Prof. Da Gruff took I up the subject of Reading. Asked the ' t

J" reading,' " uud after the expression of I viariou# opinion#, he gave as the correct definition "th* interpretation and expression of thougbU.11 He than gave a* a logical analylU of reading the following! 1; Preparation— Under this head he brought out the Importance of fir»t making the pupil familiar with the Biogruphy of any author, whoso works they wore reading ; second, getting the souse of each sentence ; third, getting the tense of tho subject ; fourth, giving the sense ; and fifth, telling the sense in. their own language. Said grout care should bo used in selecting the matter for reading, and then tho pupil should bev compelled to road it at Bight and afterward reproduce it in his own way. After the reading, each one should write upon his slate** question about the matter read, exchange slates, and answer the question now in his hand. hr^closing said that he wanted to impress upon all teachers the importance of being independent — they should not follow the time worn path just because some one else had done so if a new path would be hotter tor the scholar. That it was an utter impossibility to suit all people at one and the same time and it was useless to try. After the calling of the roll, the question box was taken up, but no questions being presented the Institute adjourned to meet at the Court House, at 7 J o'clock. evening session. Institute called to order at 8 o'clock. Questions were asked and answered. Prof. De Graft' then delivered his excellent lecture entitled "Bound to Win." Ho began by saying that the only merit to which he laid claim in this locture was that of patient research j and any one, who will, may be rewarded as he had been. A close study of those who have won success in life has prompted me to do this. Success in life cannot j always bo controlled with the ease with . which mechanical forces are governed. ^ In the affairs of life it is to him who denies himself and who dares to push on in the face of opposing obstacles ^ that success comes with two-fold rich- ^ ttess. Alexander Hamilton once said to a friend that "all the genius I have lies in the fact that when 1 have a sub- j ject in hand I study it profoundly, and keep it before me day and night. Ilo

who would stand above his fellow must work for it. All life is a struggle, success grows out of struggles." Cited the lives of some of our greatest men as examples of what hard work would do. Among them were George Stevenson, the man who built the first successful locomotive engine. We must not pass mexxts in the electric telegraph. Bdgj, Franklin developed it but Field utilized it. He was a thoughtful man and realized that failure was no disgrace and that obstacles must bo overcome. Energy of will, self originating force is the soul of every great character. "The strong man and the water-full," says the proverb, "channel llieir own path," Gave incidents in the lives of Audibon, Button, and Hon. James Garfield. The history of industry is uniform in the character of its illustrations. Industry and a strong will enable the poorest man to obtain honor if not distinction. % The greatest names ill the history of art, science, and. literature are those of laboring men, lie is pre-eminently the laboring man wb^ - bm: *- * — ' *' «. - * a law, create* a discovers a new thing, or converts a binnkr. Those wiio would win must first learn not to "despise the day of small things." Michael Angelo once said "that trifles make perfection," nnd you must know that perfection is no trifle. When asked, late in life, by what means ho hud gained so high n stand among sculptors of Italy lie replied, "because I have neglected nothing."' Accident 'does but little

toward the production of any great result in life.* What are often called accidents are merely good opportunities carefully improved .by genius. We are not the creatures of circumstances. We are not mere struw/i thrown upon the cumin t to mark out its course, but are endowed with power to stem tho waves and murk out a course for ourselves. Neglect of small things is the rock upon which most of the human race have split. The difference in men consists in j a great measure in the intelligence of t their observation. Johnson once said, ! j "Some men will learn more in ii week's stage ride than others would in a tour of Europe." It was tho insignificant spider's web suspended across tho path that- gave lis the suspension bridge. The. Tl» fho meeting on Columbus ship was quelled by the sight of a little piece of sea-wood. A pin is A little thing, but the manner in which it is put in an article of dress often reveals the character of the person. To know how to use n dollar wo must know how much it cost. A few minutes each day will, in loss than a year's time, make an intelligent man of nn ignorant, one. If some one should interview 2ft of the most influential men of this county they would find thnt tho most of them, at one time or another, had been accustomed to hard work in form, nnd, that few, if any of them

and horse races. Wbil$ there can be no or riding behind a fast horse, yet tho way in which these sports are carried on, by the average A merican,is demoralizing physically, intellectually, and socially., Sports should not be transformed into occupations and professions, and when this is the case they servo to thwart their only legitimate object. In the present . sy stem of sports the muscle is developed at the expense of brain and heart. Good men und women should not only refuse to patronise them in any forni but should at all times set their faces and voice* against them in every possible way. Over 90 per oent. of the successful men of this land have been hard working tradesmen, or formers' boys. Trades ore by no manner of means dishonorable and wo would advise tho boys to stick to tho shop. Don't pick out easy business, dont be ashamed of the rolled up shirt sleeve. Tho supply of skilled Americans is inadequate to the demand. The great fault of our institutions is tliut they tend to educate outyoung away from manual labor. Tho speaker said that if a young man wanted to gain influence and a high position in life ho would have to look for it some where else thun in the billiard room or grog shop. Do not be ashamed of work ; there is more music in the clung of the hummer than in the rattle of the farotable. "Fortune doe* not tease men to shako hands with her." There is luck in hard work. The crown is reached by carrying the cross. The be*t inheritance a boy can tuke from homo with him is, health, obedience, honesty, Christian virtues, a mother's prayer, and a father's blessing. These will stand by him when title deeds perish. In all legitimate labor there is profit, yet productive industry is the only capital which enriches a people. Education alone is not ■ enough, it must be accompanied with, and based upon religion and molality. Culture of intellect has little effect upon moral conduct. Boys who aspire to professions should look behind the effort put forth in public by the lawyer and orator, nt the hard work in tho study. Mastery implies power. The visionary man never become* a master. This is

no day for politics, but the need is more American citizenship. Spoke of the evil of using too many words. Choice simple language is an element of power. Use short words. "Gray's - Elegy" is an example of this. Words do express some powei but it is the man back of itav.yKJrmH8m.te.. jSs powerful. The Prof, closed with a strong appeal to theyqungmen to go forth with a strong will, and said that with a determined purpose, closely adhered to, they would be "Bound to Win." Institute adjourned till Tuesday morning. tuesday morning, may 4th. Institute called to order at 9,30. After opening exercises by Prof. De Graff he continued his instruction upon the subject of "how to gain knowledge, and how to impnrt knowledge." Practice by tho members of the Institute assisted in the explanation. Recess of 10 minutes. The subject of Language was taken up and analysed. He applied hi* instruction noon this ooint to parents, . -v '-jL »aiife..^0 presence of their children, Teachers should be careful that their language i* always correct both in and out of the school room. Discussion is a most important nnd valuable factor in teaching language. Reading will greatly enlarge the vocabulary of the pupil and should be attended to with care. Adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION. r Tt\ni • 47 14 a am! 1 . . J ft .. 1 »"\ _ * > I

Institute ciuleu to order at o'clock. Prof. De GmiF took up the subject of Phonics. Tho sounds of "a" were set forth in one of those practical exercises which characterized the whole teaching i of the Prof, and was easily understood. The next subject was "IIow to teach young pupils to read." It was ^ demonstrated after the manner of the Kindergarten sj'Ktem, now in j uso in New England. The next nnd lost lesson by Prof. Do Graff was one of vital importance to tho success of a school, viz: "School Etiquette," As a definition of this term bo gave tho following : "A I proper recognition and the observance of the rights of other*," and said the object wh* to train pupils to lorm right habits, find the manner of teaching was first to "Train pupils to always bo polite & vii f/% -o4i*dgt^ ..wrt, by expressing thank* for every civility received, encourage pupil* to confess their own faults, reoognizo the manhood and the womanhood of those under your charge, treat them a* 1 nilien and gentlemen and above all allow no playing in the school room but always observe tho sanctity of it, Tho thanks of tho Institute wore presented to the Prof. The State Superintendent. Prof. Apgar, followed with a number of statements as to tho advisability of making a change in the laws relating to school moneys. Adjourned, evening session. Institute met at 8 o'clock, in the tf"

' through Switzerland. Interspersed frith representation* of various man in and around the Paris Exhibition. The pictures were very fiue, the lecture not only interesting but instructive, and j both were appreciated by the ' large , audience which packed the church. On motion of Dr. J. F. Learning the thank* of those present was tendered to Prof. Apgar, and tho Institute adjourned. || wednesday morning, may 6th. Institute called to order at 9.4ft. Opening exercises conducted by the Becrottti-y. After calling the roll, Prof. Apgar Introduced the subject of drawing, Raid it was one of the most important branches of study, as in many instances we ere compelled to coll into play figure drawing to explain ipore fully our language. Confined himself to perspective drawing, Tho morning was taken up with explanations and demonstrations of plain and angular perspective, and the Institute adjourned for dinner. wednesday afternoon. Called to order at 2.15. Roll called, and twenty-seven teachers answered to their name*. The County Superintendent brought up the question of the next annual Institute, and said it would be better, for all interested parties, to hold it at some town upon the line of the railroad, as a long stage ride was anything but pleasant to those who came from a distance to attend. A motion to hold at Cape May City was made but objected to by some of the members. The question was finally decided by a unanimous vote in favor of the Court House. The committee on resolutions reported the following : Whereas, through the kind Provi- | dence of our beneficent benefactor, we have been permitted to assemble on this occasion at another Teacher's Institute , in the county of Cape May, and to listen l ■to the instruction imparted by our fellow teachers, and others, and, Whereas, The Teachers' Institutes i aro instituted for the instruction and J educational advancement of Teachers, 1 and intended for their especial benefit, « therefore be it I Resolved : That those Teachers who have so far neglected the duty they owe to themselves, and the Institute, as to

absent themselves therefrom during the term, are iiighly censurable as setting a bad example, to say nothing of the disrespect nnd drawback thus inflicted updn tho progress and dissemination of | education in tho county. Resolved; That tho interest which the valuable information from time to time, and especially for the illustrated | lecture given at the present term, | is highly appreciated by the friends as well as the teachers of this Institute. Resolved : That the valuable information imparted by Prof. E. V. De Gralf i he fully appreciated and accepted by ! the teachers of this county, and his in- ; st ruction* be used as our own, and introduced and practiced in our schools, as far as is possible. Resolved; That in our County Superintendent, Dr. Beesley, we feel that we have a friend who is thoroughly interested in the cause of education, and one who is ever ready to give such "7as is necessa*-- r ' M * *•— vion f ^ V,M£** , . .Dr. Beesley * jew cjomng remarks, after which Prof, Apgar thanked the members for their good feeling and said that while Jie was glud to be there yet ho was sorry thnt there were Borne in tho county who had not sufficient interest in the work to devote two or three days each year to the Institute. There was but one other county in the state that was so. Did not think all of those absent hud a reasonable excuse, and hoped ho would never find it so again. Mr. Henry Hand gave a very interesting exercise in which he made use of the Globe. The Institute then adjourned to meet at Cape May Court House, at a time to be appointed in the future. — - ■ ■ » ♦ » Capt. John M.
