WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
| When Prof. Parker took charge of
the music this afternoon, the house
was nearly full and before long it was
evident the people were going to beat
ali former records of attendance thus
far during the week.
DR.. Sperry gave his last lecture this
afternoon, on reflex activities. Laugh
ing and singing are reflex as well as
walking. Training our organs to do
the right thing in the right way at the
time is the secret OF success and by
and by this house of ours will take
care of itself. Every thing we should
learn to do well, then we will have no
trouble. Reflex activities will occur
we can't help it. John Burns the
engineer, trained himself in this way,
when freight car had been hurled
across the track in front of his moving
train, he seized the lever, turned on all
| the steam, rushed into the car with
such force as to split it i'll two parts
leaving the train to pass on without
any loss of life. This man had train
ed himself to do the right thing in the
right time at the right place, in the
right way. For this one reflex act he
not only saved many lives but was pre-
sented with a purse of four hundred
dollars.
| Prof. l.. f.. a. Crouter, of the Penna.
Institution for the deaf and dumb
with two bright looking boys from this
Institution illustrated to very atten-
tive audience what they are teaching
the deaf, for he says there are really
dumb persons. These boys could talk
and answer any question asked them,
write sentences OF their own formation,
containing any common word suggest
ed.
| After distributing tickets to vote fol
| five teachers of the county as commit
tee to examine applicants for perman-
ent certificates Mrs. Ella B. B.Greene talk
| ed on physiology. Fermentation is pro-
cess of doing away with that which ma
ture does not need. This should be ex
planned with the use OF objects by the
teachers using microscopes to show the
pupils the existence of life too minute
for the naked eye. Do not try to
teach children what you cannot verify
to them.
The Metherell Orchestra with Prof
} Richardson at the piano accompanied
Prof. Parkers voice In singing one Of
his choice selections,
= Miss Haas sang solo in clear
musical voice which held the house in
a death like silence.
