Winter got here after all was said about the mildness of Its first day. People began to looae faith in the almanac when the thermometer marked a ternpcralure suggestive of l#ay on the first day of December. But a day later the weathermen redeemed their characters ' and gave the people a taste of real cold - weather.

It did hear, in another Jj line, of one old colored lady who bad no ' Ti anknglring dinner of any kind, while J h-r neighbors were' feasting on roast turkey and cranberry sauce. A few lie- J nerolent cit Irene cheered the old lady's ' heart by ge-erous gifta that will keep « the wolf off for a time to come, but not ' forth* winter.

County TaaoheFa Institute. Ji It took a special ear to bring the ped7 i agofcuee of the county here on Monday 3 , last to attend the session of the county . ] Institute meetings. County Superm- _ I tendent Miller was present throughout, ~ presiding with characteristic ability and f aimers over the deliberations of the * teacher*- If the yooth of the county - are not. from this forward, stuffed with sroies of new ideas it will be no fault of the teachers, provkllng they were reeep- - tive enough to ho\d and carry away all the good. educational things cvolvtd from the minds of the instructors who did the teaching of the settaona. By the _ kindness of the Board of Trustees of the ;t M. E. church, the capacious building 'of '• the society «wa» generously granted for ( the woik of the Institute. State Buperr. intended Chapman made a very fororable -Impression upon the teachers by 4 the Interest Be manifested in the general cause of education and the urbanity of bit manners. The first session was iptro- - duced with prayer by Pastor Manchester, e It may be said here that the larger part .. of the county teachers ware present c from the first, and were attentive listen, i. era to. the end. Professor Ireland, of c Aabury Park; presented the subject of . metaphysical science hyfheuseof the e blackboard. He developed the subject quite lucidly, discussing the abstruse . operations of .the intellect with suffi1 ctent clearness to make his ideas nn- _ deratood. Madam Van Helden look j up the subject of drawing. She held I . that everybody cdbld learn to draw, j I and said the reason waa teachers . knew too much, that la.their heads were i | educated above their liands. The lee- i [ turer divided her method of teaching the i subject into representative, constructive i and decorative drawing. The lady made , some excellent points in reference lo primary teaching. She promised to further i punmalba subject as the Institute pro- I In the evening, State Superintendent Chapman addressed a largo audience r that quite filled the church, upon the > general subject of education. Mr. Chapman spoke word* of sympathy wi"h the f teaclier and his work. He thought i there was no class of the world's workers whose labor Is of more importance than that of the public instructor. Teachers should viae above petty details " of school discipline and government, and have more regard for their catling In its ' completeness. The speaker discussed I the standards of education, comparing aucient method* of the Greeks wlih the s modern. He showed that the old phll- o osophrr of the palmy days of Athens and Sparta had hut a vague idea of what „ the scholar* of this day call education. , The .lews of all the nations of antiqtiity held to and sustained the general educa- , Hon of children. In more modern times f England raised a standard of instruction, but It waa tot the few and not the many. The Pilgrim fathers were the first to ° practice universal education in this u country. They laid the corner atone of public school system. Mr. Chapman a thought the education of our youth h should ' be American, fitting them for citizenship. They should be symmetri- h cally trained morally, intellectually and i( physically. The profeaadr thought the future prosperity of the country depend- f ed largely upon the work now going on V in the school houses of tbia country. Mr. Chapman was. at the end of hla remarks, wsrmly applauded. B Tuesday morning Professor Ireland. P spoke to the institute on the way to ' teach reading. A tabulated statement of the subject written upon a black board k helped the teachers to better com pre- tl bend it. Superintendent Chapman made F ( some practical remarks on the subject of

conversation. Madam VanHelden re- . I sumed her studies with the Institute on , r the subject of drawing. Arapldmethod , - of constructing plain figures waa the , theme of the morning lesson. The Madam . showed herseir to be a teacher fully " equipped for her work. Io the afternoon C. P. Mullaney. Sup- * . erlniendent of the public achoois of PaU i teraon, N. J, presented the "How" of ' i geography study. He thought the b , subject should bo presented to an at- 1 . tractive way that would be really helpr ful.

Publie education in the state* must not be a i class education, bnt reach oil, even the r children of criminals and outcasts. The ' i state- must do this or it goes undone. * . "The state has the right to perpetuate r itself," said the speaker. "Wherever If can find material it should be shaped in. a f to something usefnl, and fitting it for I I higher walks of life and of the greatest I n good of the state." Mr. Brace's address v e was replete with the most excellent f counsel 10 the philanthropic cltiscn and j a lover of hla race, live session was closed t . with a solo by MUs Annie Wililama. c y Wednesday morning Professor Mul- , e 1 snev continued his remarks upon the t r subject of geography after devotional e exercises. .Superintendent Chapman - II made practical remarks upon the rela- . f Hon of Hie teacher to the pupil.
