Today's Instructions In the Teachers
lnstitute-..G GOOD Work OF Instruc-
tors.
Today's session of the county institute
opened with devotional exercises as usu-
al. Prof. Housed did grand work in mu-
sic and the teachers are taking lively
interest in the subject and it bids fair to
become a prominent feature in the public
schools of the county, as it is in the
cities. Prof. Felmley is still at the helm
in the advanced reading work, and gives
out the idea that teachers should be very
careful and see that the pupils are able to
comprehend the thought. and not to see
how much matter they can pass over in
very limited time, but get well what
they undertake to do. Also that ideas
should be connected throughout and have
relation to each other.
Prof. DeGarmo dwelt largely on the
inductive method, showing up many
points that will be very helpful to the
teacher. His work on the Science of
Education is one OF the most interesting
subjects of this institute. He delivered
another of those interesting lectures this
afternoon on the subject, Greek Spirit. "
Although the weather is warm, there was
nice audience gathered to hear him
in the assembly room. After this Mr..
Harris took up the work on botany
He had msde several microscopical Sec
tons of the different parts of the leaf
which were of great interest to all present.
The class is quite large. numbering
something near sixty.
He spent nearly all the forenoon in
preparing specimens to show to the class
and is coming to the front as an educa-
tor and will in time rank among the fore>
most in our land
The enrolment has reached 100 and it
is expected to reach 200 this week. We
are glad to note that so many pupils and
teachers are availing themselves of the
opportunity of attending the institute.
Additional names to the enrolment are
Henry Quick. Port Byron; Lulu
Churchhill. Rock Island; Lulu Leslie,
Nellie Timberlake. Alma Hobart, Port
Byron; Anna Daxon. Lizzie Crawford,

This waist is designed to meet the
requirements of ladies who cannot,
comfortably, wear stiff and rigid cor
set, while it can be worn with as much
comfort as an ordinary dress-waist, it
will give the same elegance of contour
as the heaviest boned corset in the
market, while the stays are so arranged
that they give support to the back and
spine, and in nowise interfere with the
freedom and comfort of the wearer.
Our price for this comfortable and
healthful waist is $l.OO. You will no
doubt find it fully as satisfactory as
waists for which you have paid Sl.75.

The holes in the ground were apparently
