The Teachers Institute.

The Kirksville Teachers Insti.
tute was called to order by Prof.
Holloway. The paper read by
Prof. w. Laughlin showed care in
its preparation and those who did
not hear it, missed a treat. Prof
Proctor entertained us with an
elaborate talk on "The effects of
Impure Air on Conduct and Work. y
The trend of the Professors talk
had mainly to do with the ventila-
ton of our school rooms and
houses, giving as an illustration
the deplorable system used in Ice
land which is demonstrated by the
enormous death rate.
Prof. Dobson talked for some
time on, "What is the measure of
Success!' He impressed his
audience with his practical views
OF the necessity of adapting our
selves to our surroundings. Clos
ing his remarks with forcibly H.
lustrating the thought, that by
being interested in the work our
selves, we are certain to interest
others.
Prof. Miller followed with a
short discussion of the subject ad-
vanced by Prof. Dobson taking is
sue with the idea that we should
bear the burdens of our pupils.
''Some of the effects of Punish
ment,' by Miss Minnie Dawson, in
which she deprecated extreme
measures often resorted to through
mistaken ideas of the case. citing
the little boy on the back seat,
who being near sighted took no
interest in black board work; in
this paper the writer introduced
many helpful thoughts in primary
work.
The absenteesi were numerous,
this ought not to be, as success
largely depends on Individual ef-
fort put forth by the teacher.
Let us hope for a larger atten-
dance at next meeting.
The session was especially in
teresting. all the subjects discussed
bearing on the noble work of the
teachers. LIZZIE JACKSON.

AS a general thing investors are
pleased TO receive only two divi-
dends year, and if they are paid
with regularity are fully satisfied.
When one, however, can receive
fifty-two dividends in year upon
an investment of only three dollars,
the matter deserves very serious
attention.

The meeting held in the M. f.

canvass of our county, was not
largely attended, but many dis
tricts were represented, and the
reports revealed that the canvass
lad been a real blessing to those
who had the work in cha, ge. as

holding themselves aloof from the
Sudday school that somebody is
interested enough in them and
their children to 60 to their homes
and invite them out to both church
and Sunday School.
Some interesting reports were
lacking from the inability of the
workers to be present. At the
afternoon session it was decided
to talk up and work up the an
nual Teachers Institute for Feb
ruary and March, and it was
unanimously thought best to make
another canvass about May 10 as
hat is the time all other counties
make their report to the state and
