THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE,
Ninety-two Members Answer
Roll Call This Morning
The Last Week.

The Institute opened tuesday
at $50 O'Clock with 80 mem
bers on the roll, and after prayer
by Prot. Jesse the various classes
proceeded to the work of the fore.
noon. Prof. Mcmillan lie present
this week to lend the institute a
helping hand, which none know
better how to do than he. Prof.
Henry Hodge, of Dixon, ILL.,, has
charge OF a large class in penman-
ship, which is doing good work,
and which seems determined to
improve this important and much
neglected branch of our public
school education.
Yesterday a. symposium class
was organized with Prof. Mcmillan
as director. The question before
this class, "When should the train
ing or teaching of the child be-
gin?" was handled by Prof. Cen
try, DR.. Walker and others in an
especially interesting manner,
bringing out the fact hat by the
doctrine of heredity the ancestry
of a child has a greater effect upon
his mental and moral character
istics, and his physique than do
his condition and environments
after he enters school.
MIR. Head, the photographer,
came to see us yesterday afternoon
and took a group photograph of
the Institute.
They tell it on Joe Stephens
that he has become so enraptured
that he actually forgets that he is
present at the Institute.
Some Of the boys say that Mr..
Edwards complains that he is not
quite so popular at the Institute as
he used to be +; however the
knowing ones declare that it is a
delusion on his part, and that he is
more popular now than ever before.
The history class seems to be
largely Democratic; various opin-
ions were offered as to who will be
the next President of the U. s.
Reed, Mckinley, Boise, Cleveland
and Hill we're some of the names
guessed.
NOTES.
Prof. Dodge, of the penmanship
class, was with the botany class
this forenoon, and added much in
interest to the recitation.
We Overheard quite a spirited
debate this morning as to the loca-
ton of some of the rooms in the
public school building.
Prof. F. N. Peters had charge OF
Mr.. Torreyson's class in physics
this forenoon.
1t has been suggested by several
that the Institute close Friday
noon 80 the teachers can get away
on the afternoon trains.
Rev. Taylor, in addressing the
Institute last week, said he had al.
ways encouraged the public schools
by tax and otherwise, and he be-
lieved they were becoming more
powerful factors in our civilization
every year.
State Superintendent Coleman
visited the Institute last week ant
gave a very instructive lecture OF
the profession of teaching. He de
clared that many children ar
cheated out of their inheritanc
through the ignorance of parent
and the cowardice of teachers ant
boards in permitting pupils to pro
mote themselves in the grades.

About 6 O'Clock Monday after
noon, the Misses Meyer, living 4
miles east of here, while on their
way home, and when just outside
the city limits, their horses became
fractions and unmanageable, run
ming away and throwing the ladies
out of the carriage and bruising
them terribly, DR.. Adams was
called and after a careful examina-
ton found, to his surprise, that no
bones were broken, but that they
were Jared up and bruised badly.
One of the girls lay unconscious all
night long, but next morning they
were both better. The girls had
narrow escape and the wonder If
that they were not killed.

The Anglo-Jewish Association gives
a glowing picture of the condition of
the Jews in Russia, which is growing
from bad to worse. One of the worst
features of their persecution is the re-
striction put upon education. Jewish
students can only form 8 per cent. Of
the total number, even in places where
the Jews form Is per cent. of the total
population, while the number Of chill
dren allowed by law to receive elemen
tary education in schools is only per
cent Of the total number attending
such schools. The Jews are still pro.

who inhabit villages are not permitted
