'"SAN 'Aioo huSy Sueil' heClCatlOn-
Good night-Miss Dillie Black.
Fifth Topic - Factors of a model
Schools. D. McCracken says think
it is good school, lone factor, great
factor" is the school teacher. Wher-
ever the best teachers are there are the
best schools. Second-The teacher is
another important factor. Third
The teachers must have cooperating
patrons to make success. In order to
have school we must have substantial
patrons.
j. r. Carson says that Mr.. McCracken
has speech to fit anything. And he
out speaks his looks. The main thing
in teacher is knowledge of human
nature. In great many neighborhoods
the patrons do not take enough interest
in the school work. They seem to
think the teachers are the main factor.
l care not how energetic teacher is,
he must have the cooperation of the
patrons. The teacher must have the
good will of the pupils and patrons.
Music, violins and organ. Recitation
The Martyr of Salway Sands-Miss
Florena Treadway.
Sixth Topic--Mistakes of our Model
school-T. N. Hale says no mistakes.
Seventh Topic-School Discipline
S. D. McCracken says am before you
the second time. The little boy or girl
entrusted to your care, their minds
must be developed. In order that we
develope them we must teach them;
bring something before the mind that
will cause them to think.
d. NJ. Slonaker says l have had some
twenty years experience. l have whip
ped and expelled, and think it is
wrong idea not to whip.
VIM. Odell says endorse what Mr..
Slonaker has said. say the rod in the
school room is as essential as the gov
ernor on steam engine. If boy is
too big to be whipped, the thing is to
fog him.
j. K. Carson says the teacher must
discipline himself, if he expects the
pupils to be disciplined. Some teachers
have better gifts to get the good will of
pupils than others. l believe mischief
gathers in boy six weeks before he
developes it.

F. T. Watts says l was expecting
more teachers present. You see they
are tardy if they come. The intention
of these institutes are to make teachers
and patrons more enthused in the edu-
cational work. Encouragement by
your patrons means heap to encour-
age the pupil and teacher. We all
have responsibilities resting upon US as
teachers and patrons. There is in this
State between 1900 and 5000 boys and
girls between the age of and 81 who
don't enter school.
