Lecture by Professor William G. War

Lecture by Professor William G. Ward,
on .sThat Bad Boy"
The pithiest, most practical yet most brilliant
lecture SO far given at Chautanqua, was given
on Thursday evening by Professor William G.
Ward. president of the Spokane university.
Although disappointed in his boat, Professor
Ward came in on time, humOrOusly saying that
he walked in, though afterwards allowing that
on Quartermaster bay he served in every capacity
bat captain.
In his lecture on "That Bad Boy he declared
himself much in sympathy with one kind of
sbad boys" simply working off the superabun-
dance of animal spirits. There were never any
bad boys until about 200 years ago. One young
man had expressed q wish that he could have
lived in Roman days of grand warriors and
great men. But ninety nine of every 100 in that
day were slaves They had q way OF fixing the
bad boy down in the galeys, chained to an oar
during life, to be slain upon defeat OF the vessel
Badness is one of the exigencies of freedom. 1t
is bad enoughs but slavery would be worse. But
the bad boy should not spoil the public schools
New York settles the whole matter very easily
by ordaining that any boy sent from the pubic
school must either enter private school or q
trIant school. The irate father disturbing the
school with the demand. ''What ar yer goin'
ter do bout it?" is coolly met with the counter
1.-THE truant school touches his pride, the priv
ate school touches his pocket Both are tender
Do not let the teacher waste his time over the
bad boy, while he neglects the good ones. Put
him in his place."
PROBES sor Ward is evidently master of the stu
alton, with fuency of expression, force of
though. and an inexhaustible fund of humor-
he carries his audience By storm. They burst
into convulsive laughter they hold their sides
or clap their hands till blstered. and forget that
the little man Is only telling story or striking
al attitude, or repeating facial expression.
Mr.. Ward is recently from Cleveland, O., and
brings ripe scho arship and varied experience
to the university of his charge, and the educa-
tors of Washington Will hear from him. He will
deliver his elaborate lecture on "Michael An
gelo" next Thursday evening, when the Glide
will take an excursion TO the grounds.
Mothers desiring their children to have salt
sea bathing while under some cultivating in
f1uences viii find great privileges at Chautau-
qua.
Professor Cozine now has over forty voices at
his morning drill, and will give grand con-
cert next Thursday evening He has wonder

thusiastic in the choruses. His methods
