Tho funeral of the infant daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bort Schultz occurred last
Sunday afternoon from the residence OF
Mr.. Henry Schultz, where the little one
died from heart failure on Saturday
morning.
A beautiful and touching service was
conducted by Rev. Wilson. The male
quartet rendered appropriate music; and
friends Of the family strove to bear balm
to the mothers breaking heart through
the last sad rites that consigned her
loved one to its final resting place.
Human sympathy is very sweet to all
in the hour Of affection, and it is certain
ly meted Quito these young parents IN
their bereavement. It comes in the life
of all-the time, the hour, when earthly
friends are made doubly dear because of
the breaking of some Of these ties by
death-death which makes all human
power seem 80 puny in its awful presence.
So let
All who can, speak to the parents breaking heart,
In language born of tears. No art
Can touch the soul of a sorrowing one
As the tones of similar woe have done.

Third Week Of Normal.

The third week of the Trego County
Institute closed yesterday and pretty
accurate idea can now be given as to its
success. The attendance has not been
quite 80 large as in former years but this
is more than made up in the quality of
the teachers. Trego county is progress
ing in an educational sense, which fact is
plainly evidenced by the increase in live,
progressive teachers. Another element
of success and the one which contributes
most largely to the success of an institute,
is the competency of those having the e1-
ercises in charge. Trego County was es-
pecially fortunate this year in the selec-
ton of conductor and instructor. Prof
Crooks is too we'll known here to need
any extended notes from us. He is thor
oughly, antirely competent and has the
confidence of all the teachers. Miss F..
Dana, of Fredonia, Kansas, came here a
stranger, but her kind manner, thorough
knowledge of the branches to be taught,
as well as her skill in imparting instruc-
ton, at once inspired the confidence and
esteem of every member of the institute.
She is not only possessed of talent but is
we'll supplied with that other qualification
tact. Miss Dana has been employed
for the coming year as principal of the
Eureka public schools, which is the high
evidence of the esteem in which she is
held where best known,
Any person who has ever had any ex-
perience in teaching school can tell al
most instantly whether the same is a sue
cess or failure by the interest taken.
Judged by this standard we should say
that our institute was a perfect success.
Every teacher was on the qnj viue and
not question was asked which was not
carefully noted by all.
Among those who have visited the
normal We remember the following
names: Mrs. L. D. Monroe, Mrs. Ham
mond, Mrs. F. L. Walker, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. NJ. WEIGH, Rev. Wilson, Miss Mary
Shepherd, Prof. Morgan, Prof. Wrnans,
Miss Frost, and Miss Stubbs.

enrolled since the list previously publish

NOTES,

The calisthenic drill conducted by Prof.
Crooks claimed our special attention, and
we hope the day is not far distant when
these exescises will be considered as es-
sential In our public schools as mathemat-
les. ga sound mind in healthy BODY
should be the high standard aimed at in
all our public schools.
In mathematics the topic was "cause
and effect" and proportion" We were
more than pleased at Prof. Crooks re-
marks with reference to the rule of cause
and effect. He said he could see no
good reason for the rule and would like to
see it eliminated from our text books, We
have entertained the same idea for sever.
al years and would 60 even further and
say that il any good reason exists for the
rule of proportion We have never discov-
cred it. While proportion may be sus-
ceptible of analysis, examples solved by it
are usually guessed at, and If q certain
combination does not produce q certain
result as indicated by the answer
another is tried. There is no mental dis
cipline, but very much Of experiment.
Analysis should be employed and proper
ton excluded. We may be little old
fogy-ve admit that We are behind the
times in many things pertaining to school
matters, and, therefore, We throw in this
suggestion without extra charge. We
believe most Of the. teachers win agree
with rs.
