subject of arithmetic. While Prof. Col
burn IL a mathematician of depth and
ability all his suggestions we're hardly
susceptible of actual practice in the school
room. The gentleman said that practical
operations should be performed; that the
student should have thorough knowledge,
not of bookkeeping definitions and rules,
but of everyday business practice. Some
time was consumed in splitting mathemat-
ical hairs, but we are bound 10 say that
this was not entirely due to Prot. Colburn.
Mrs. Therese A. jenkins next read an
excellent address Upon the subject "Coun-
try Schools, stating that she had been a
teacher in country schools and knew
whereof she spoke. She gave a number
of witty hits which indeed displayed a
thorough acquaintance with her subject.
The lady's sympathies are evidently with
the country school teacher and the
try pupil, and she saw no reason why they
should be allowed to shiver in winter and
scorch in summer in a little sod shanty,
with no furniture to speak of and redolent
with the odor Of tobacco and ~bedbugs,
while the richer or more fortunate human
beings who live in the city should boast
of their modern conveniences in school
architecture, the high standard OF their
schools and their new $4,000 school
building. The compulsory law was
touched upon and appropriate suggestions
made. Mrs. jenkins address was listened
to with close attention and, as the picture
was so true to life, was thoroughly en-
loved, not only by the country teachers.
but also by every one present.
A paper on primary work was next
read by Miss Adelaide Skliba, giving
many practical hints in regard to teach
ing the little ones. Miss Skliba is a
primary teacher of recognized ability, who
favors the German methods of Froebel,
and with her winning manner and gentle
voice cannot help but capture the hearts
of the little ones so fortunate as to be
under her care.
Prof. Churchill talked at length upon
llt ihbcIuhlioudl ueGNluRs L IOls OhulC
i'll said that the moral and religious tone
Of Toronto are of a very high character.
The number of churches are in excess of
the number Of saloons, and in the city n
rigid Sunday law is enforced.
Physiology teaching was explained by
Miss Richardson, the circulation of the
blood being the part dealt with. The
lady favored the experimental method OF
teaching physiology. Physiology teaches
the pupils the legitimate use aud care Of
their bodies. The effects of alcohol and
narcotics should be taught and their use
dwelt upon, not as a sin against God but
as a sin against ones self. Miss Rich
ardsQn handled her subject with ease and
ability, and received many compliments
upon her clear and thorough demonstra-
tons. We welcome Miss Richardson to
our schools.
A vote of thanks was rendered all the
able instructors and lecturers who had as
sisted the institute, especially to Miss
Leonard, secretary, and Mrs. Black,
musical conductor.

Frank Gourard. the Fort Mckinney
scout, returned from a lengthy trip to the
Grow reservation on Thursday. He says
the Indians are all busy hauling hay to
Fort Custer, getting IS per ton for cutting
and the same price for delivering it at the
post. All of them are making money.
Fort Custer has one company OF Grow
troops, and Frank says they make good
soldiers. In addition to $l3 per month,
each receives forty cents a day for the
horse he furnishes. Our red neighbors
are fast becoming wealthy.

feet. At the mouth of the canyon is a
