EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT. a contttivmicatioris for this column should be sent'to , Institute Ataws near, and there has been nothing said in this-department concerning it, I deem it not altogether inappropriate for me to makea few suggestions. If they benefit our will be accomplished; if not,so nrtolt the worse for it. _T have been a regular attendant: at the last five sessions of the Nevada County Institute, and can say that tle practical benefit to teachers generally. And ‘so -evident.is.this—to+ teachers, that they naturally manifest but little interest when, how, or where the Institute is to meet. To to my way of thinking there really i is something radieally wrong in our methods of conducting Institutes. But it is much easier for us to see that something is. wrong, than to point ott the way to remedy the defécts which we see; however, the sooner we try to get at theroot of the evil; and-thoroughly eradicate it; the” better will it. be for us teachers in the future. I would suggest that, . henceforth,, we conduct our Institute wholly by ‘‘class exercise."’ In doing so, if I mistake not, we will make a change in the right direction, which will bring with it manifold results of good. We should aim to have aclass exercise in each of the studies commonly taught; let some teachers conduct each class, and let them conduct them so that every teagher shall feel himself compelled "to take part:in them, and do to the best of his ability the part assigned to him; let them make their exercises as thorough as need be, something that will wake us up, that will call out some of that enthusiasm, we talk so tauch of arousing in our classes in school. The class exercises if rightly conducted should be made to bring out some of our knowledge, as well as the theories of the studies we are supposed *to teach, and our real modes of teaching them. As our Institutes now are, two-thirds of the teachers who attend them do’ nothing only sit in their places* and try to look wise; they have nothing to do, and they do it witha will. I say such is the case, and who dare gain say it, our Institutes do not accomplish the good, do not. benefit teachers as they should and might, The first day of the Institute, I believe, is to be taken up with a spelling contest, from which teachers can derive not the smallest benefit, Now it looks to me as though this ‘pupils spelling ocontest,’’ on the first day, will have a tendency to tire everybody of spelling, and make a plausible excise for opposing thie teachers contest for the championship of the county, in which every teacher is expected to spell. It should, however, be borne in mind that there is to bea Spelling vn the last night of the Instituté, and let no teacher pander to his or her _laziness, and think that they will be excused on~the plea of having no time to study their ‘spelling books; forif'we do, we shall undoubtedly merit the approbrium, that will be justly attached to each and every teacher who fails to take part in the spelling contest. J would wish, for the good of. our next Institute, that it may be blessed(?) with aa-féw lectures as possible. Usually more than half the time of the session is thrown away on lectures, from which no one derives any I have. gained thore real value, in helping to dis, cass, before an Institute, a single “knotty” sentence in grammar than frum forty lectures, Our special lecturers, and those whose duty it is to visit Institates aad lecture before therit, take more trouble to show off how much. they know of _ some ‘‘ology’’ or ‘‘ism,”’ that is of no practicable utility to most teachers; than they do to show us how to teach.
