Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1896-02-27

Senator Hill devotes his leisure,
while other men in congress are alb
sorbed In those social amusements
which he deprecates. to the study OF
the works Of William Shakespeare. In
this way he obtains refined and RAJ
tional recreation and he furnishes his
mind with famous passages suitable
for quotation In the senate chamber.
This knowledge helped him to retort
upon German in their well-remem-
bered tilt.

TuE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Talks on Education, Physical Culture
and Seeds.

Saturday, March p, proved redletter
dav for the Woman's club. As the
weather was fine large number assem-
bled at the ho4pitabe home Of Mrs. J. u.
Hopkins.
The exercises opened by the singing OF
America, after a brief alIusion to the
author, Rev. DR.. :. +. Smith. The first
paper Was given by Miss Carrie Cochrane
on Modern Methods of Education"
That we might appreciate the strides
that have been made in the methods of
education she described the ideas of
early instructors, how they stuffed the
memory, without regard to morals or
understanding. The value OF the kin
dergarteu system, manual training, ana
cultivating the spirit of patriotism We're
all emphasized.
Miss NJ A. Greedy supplemented this
able paper by brief talk on physical cul-
ture, saying it is not an amusement, as so
many people seem to regard 1t, but that Il
deep philosophy underlies every move
ment; that the body is an intricate piece
OF mechanism, and that physical culture,
contrary to heavy gymnastics, develops
each part until it maintains perfect re-
lation TO the whole, producing good
health, strong nerves, grace in motion,
while every thought finds Interpretation
by unconscious gestures OF The body.
