ORANGE
The Teachers Meet for Discussion – A Romance.
Special Correspondence of the Leader.
ORANGE, November 30.
District Institute No. 2 was held in sub-district No. 7 to-day. The exercises of the day were as follows: Meeting was called to order by Vice President Charles Stokey. Mrs. C. W. Henry first addressed the institute upon the subject of spelling and spelling schools. The speaker favored the old-fashioned spelling school. She also believes that pupils learn faster by writing their lessons than by spelling orally. After the speaker had finished, the question underwent a general discussion by the Institute. The discussion was participated in by Miss Alpha Boynton, Mr. C. A. McFarland, J. J. Mills, C. H. Collins, and others. President Stokey thought that it would be a good thing if we could get up contests upon other branches besides spelling. He had tried it in the study of grammar, and had found it very profitable. Next came the most important hour of the day – just what usually takes place from 12 M. to 1 P.M.
When the Institute was called to order in the afternoon, a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered the ladies of Orange for their remarkable repast. Miss Sarah Alexander now addressed the Institute upon declamation and composition. When the lady had finished her paper, the subject was taken up and discussed by the Institute. The minutes of the last session were next read and accepted. After some other important business was transacted, Professor Stokey address the Institute upon the subject of arithmetic. At the close of the address a large number of those present expressed their opinions upon the same subject. The Institute now adjourned to meet on the fourth Saturday of December at Chagrin Falls.
Quite a little romance has taken place in Orange. Some months ago an honest Polander of this town became acquainted, by correspondence, with a young lady who was living in the historic land of Kossuth. Their friendship grew more binding as time advanced, and about four months since they became engaged. It was arranged that the young lady should come to this country, and then they would be united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Last Tuesday she arrived at the Union Depot, and was joyously received by the man who was to be her husband and whom she had never seen before. They were married on Thanksgiving, and to-day they set up housekeeping in this place.

This is one of a series of documents that I have uploaded featuring Papa Charles in his role as a teacher and school administrator. You can find the whole list in:

The Teachers Meet for Discussion – A Romance.
Alas, the Romance has nothing to do with the Teachers Meeting for Discussion.
3.
President Stokey thought that it would be a good thing if we could get up contests upon other branches besides spelling. He had tried it in the study of grammar, and had found it very profitable.
I don't understand how Papa Charles got promoted from Vice President to President in mid-meeting. But it's fun to see him willing to try new teaching ideas.

Next came the most important hour of the day – just what usually takes place from 12 M. to 1 P.M.
This Special Correspondent is a right-thinking man. Or woman.

After some other important business was transacted, Professor Stokey address the Institute upon the subject of arithmetic.
Yup, he liked talking about arithmetic. See:

This has nothing to do with the meeting, it's just more news from Orange, which I'm happy to read because I like this Special Correspondent.
7.
Some months ago an honest Polander of this town became acquainted, by correspondence, with a young lady who was living in the historic land of Kossuth.
I googled and googled for a place named Kossuth in Europe, but couldn't find it. All Google wanted to talk about was Lajos Kossuth, a 19th century Hungarian political reformer. Finally it dawned on me that the Special Correspondent was being fancy, and that the historic land of Kossuth was the historic land that was the home of the historic Lajos Kossuth.
