NORMAL INSTITUTE.

List of Teachers Present-The State Superintendent's Lecture-An Interesting
Course being Carried Successfully Out.

The Teacher's Institute being held in this city is one of unusual interest.
The teachers all seem to be loud in their praises of the management and
declare this institute to be the best one ever held in Plymouth county. The
D division leads in average daily attendance.

Every division takes orthography, a thing that has never been done before.

[Transcriber note from Webster's Dictionary: orthography: spelling as a
subject of study.]

Prof. Cooper, Prof. Coleman and Miss Carrie Byrne are all entitled to much
credit for the interest they are taking in the work. The many years of
experience has fitted them well for the positions they occupy.

Hon. J.B. Knoepfler, state superintendent of public instruction, lectured
before the institute last Thursday. He selected for his subject "The Rights
of the Children." The teachers were very favorably impressed with Mr.
Knoepfler.

Ira C. Kling was expected here to give two lectures on school law, but
circumstances are such that it will be impossible for him to visit the
institute this year.

The work for the institute is very systematically arranged. There are four
divisions, viz., A, B, C, and D. The A division has arithmetic, didactics,
Literature, grammar, history and orthography. The B has arithmetic,
orthography, history, physiology, grammar, and didactics. The C has
orthography, arithmetic, physiology, history, didactics and grammar. The D
has geography, arithmetic, didactics, language, orthography and physiology.
Prof. Cooper has didactics, E.N. Coleman teaches arithmetic and history,
G.W. Young teaches literature, orthography and language; A.W. Rich teaches
arithmetic and grammar; J.F. Hirsch teachers geography, physiology and one
class in orthography.

[Transcriber note from Webster's Dictionary: didactics: teach, instruction]
