The quarter stretch badge Seem
ed to be quite a novelty to some
people. 1t simply means if you
have quarter you can stretch
yourself across the track, and il

on your little bed and wish there
never was word called stretch.
The enterprising firm Of Ken

attendant at hand at all times to
answer questions. The farmers
will find the members Of this firm
as pleasant and agreeable at their
place of FHainess, as at the fair,
and with a full line of every thing
shown by them at Machinery Hall.
Their Office and ware room are at
the corner of Harrison and Maine.

lege, Mass. MIR. Garfield was at
work upon it for thirty-two years.
1t covers d period of five hundred
and thirty-nine years. The pict-
ure,..if this is the proper word, is
contained in a gold frame and
contains oyer two thousand names
reaching through the Nobility of
France and England from whence
the Garfield stock came. 1t is
said to be one of the finest in size
and numbers and in the character
of ones ancestors found in the
United States.

Century: The power to think for ones
self has too little standing in the school,
and we do not insist enough upon the
appreciation of the work of school work.
Too often we try TO wheedle our children
into knowledge. We disguise the name
of work. mask thought, and invent
schemes for making education easy and
pleasant. We give fanciful names to
branches of study, make play with object
lessons, and illustrate all things. To
make education amusing, an easy road
withouttoil is to train up race ofmen and
women who will shun what is displeasing
to them. But there is no substitute for
hard work in school if we are to have a
properly trained people; we must teach
the value of work and overcome the in
difference of ignorance Council.

Does it pay to attend Teachers lnstl-
tutes? Some think it does; others seem
to 90 because they feel obliged to.
Many would not attend if it were not for
the superintendent, while majority, per
haps 90 willingly and feel well paid for it.
But whether it pays or not depends both
upon the kind of institute and on the
teachers themselves. Those teachers
who are active and diligent will make 1t
pay even at poor Institutes. 1t is notice
able that the best teachers are those
who attend institutes regularly. 1t is
also noticeable that they take part in
and give life to institutes. Many teach
ers "sit back" and have nothing to say
unless called upon" They say they
can't take part. This is unfortunate
both for the individual and the institute.
Nothing makes an institute more lively
and interesting than free discussion and
cordial participation. To take an active
part in discussions, TO "say what you
think" to ask and re-ask about what Is
not clearly understood, to give your
method and suggestion at the proper
time, and to talk. briefly and to the point,
is duty which every teacher owes both
to herself and to the institute. What
is more tiresome and disheartening TO an
instructor than an unresponsiye, expires
sionless lot Of teachers? 1t is worse than
talking to an empty house. But let
every teacher be on the alert to ask good
questions and give good suggestions, and,
how the mass or inertia at once rises up!
Let every teacher take part in some

to your credit to be croaking all the time
about your misfortune.
