The importance of these five senses is 1 perhaps indicated by the following or- ' der: lat Seeing; 2d Hearing; 3d 1 Smelling ; 4th Tasting ; 5th Feeling. 11 Sight' is certainly more important than ' all tfie other senaes.

I son opened with mnaic. Prof. Phelpa j discussed the best melfaqd of teaching ' : children to read. First teach children '* | tangible ideas or material thlngi. Eves ; by the old system of learning the alpha- ' ] bet the parts of tha letters should be ' pointed out to the children, as the " j straight and enrvad Hats. But there is ' a beuer method of learning to read. — 0 Begin with words, as fiat. Take a real 1 hat and present it to tbe class ; inquire 1 of them in properties and use; print r the word hat several limes on tbe blackboard, or nse cards with the word already on them; tell the class the word represents fiat ; then give some quality of tbe hat, as good, and print it severs' times on the blackboard In the same way introduce other words when pointed out. After three or four lessons in words th^n begin with the Alphabet — Teach the elementary sound* in simple } words as hat, cat. rat Ad., ami thus I combine instruction in sentences, ' wcrds and letters. Prof. V. then caked i up a clan of small childrvo muk made : I •'their acquaintance preparatory to giviug ; : instruction in oijecl It* tout. Mr. Ilicord. State Superintendent, was j then introdncad, who gave ua an inieres. ting lecture on ''XlateriaLAiris to In. , ilruetion " Mr. R. contended that school hotntes were generally illy adapted to the purposes of instruction; the rum- j j fort and convenience c^-the children i | were sadly overlooked nnd in mnny in-'i stances, those aeresaary adjuncts to good ! I achool-rr,vinpi, vie: blackboards, crayons, I and maps, Ac., were wholly wanting — The lectnrer ridiculed, with great bnt 1 f deserved severity, the indilferenre of paj rents and others lo the comfort of tieir | 1 j children, while acquiring an education j Dilapidated achooUliousea never too qjd | 1 j for the purpoee, placed in swampy, ex- • 1 j posed, or ao-ne other inappropriate j I place, without comfort or convenience, f" | were considered good enongh fur their j ' childna The fnety presented were prr- | foully startling, and shoared a degrne of ! apathy mi the subject, amounting to j ' criminality. v Evexiso Scaatox —Act nt 7j I*. M. * | The reac^ution selected was advocated j 'f ; Mr. Ganee(|*ho contended that children needed st least ten mouths instruc- | lion in a year, and that if the time was thus extended tbe business of teaching ^ would be more permanent and thus af- ( forJ, with proper renumeration, inducemeats lo make it a permanent profession # iaslcad of being, as it now too often is, . a mere stepping stone to some more . j profitable buainess.
