 torial Association.
Interesting Papers and Spirited Dis cussions Upon Various Themes Concerning Which teachers of Advanced Ideas Disagree.

The morning S6SSIOU was Op0uou Dy roll call with memory gems, to which so few responded that the following resolution on motion of J. R. Meskim- mons was adopted: Ut is the opinion of this body that the sessions of this institute should begin on time and that it is unprofessional and unbecom- ing teacher to be tardy." Following this was an invocation by Rev. c. J. Chase and the singing of the Red, White and Blue. A paper on Patriotism" which was postponed from the day before was then read by Miss Bella G. Beatson. Miss Beatson handled the subject in a very creditable manner and was fol- lowed by a discussion by B. Grant Randall He showed the danger of teaching partyism and the good of 1 teaching patriotism in its fullest sense, closing with request to give the 1 Chautauqua salute to the grand old American flag, which was compiled with
 | A recitation. "Our Old Banner" by | Master Howard Herret, was loudly ap- plauded.
 1 The most interesting subject of the morning session was the paper on Ma i ture Study" with class exercise, by | Miss Kate Bee Griswold. Twelve lit i tie boys and girls seated on the ros- trum were each given bottle contain ing a cricket Questions concerning the legs, wings, mouth, etc, and the use of these members were asked the little ones and it was intensely inter esting to see how quickly each child would answer, and nearly always cor rectly Miss Griswold also showed how a child may learn to read, write and spell by observation.
 A recitation, Only an Apple" by little Miss Emma Luhrs, which was well rendered, was the next incident of the programme.
 A paper on School Government" by Miss Elizabeth Baker, but read by Miss Mary A. Freeley, was excellent
 Miss Carrie Christy's piano solo and the song, Drifting" by the mixed quartette, are both worthy of mention.
 Studying and Teaching United
 States History" was the title of a
 lengthy paper by R. H. Thielman. While the paper showed careful study, it was rather long to be of force and fell short in interest and effect.
 request is made by the teachers that all those who are on the pro- gramme for papers will please not oc- cupy more than the allotted time, fifteen minutes.
 The discussion by Miss Culver was
 brief and to the point.

 of about years, captivated her audi
 ence with a recitation entitled Flight
 Times Seven Are Fifty-Four.'
 s. P. McCrea's paper on "Industria :, Education" was very good, but like n many of the others, was too long to r maintain interest.
 - The next number was "Sloyd in the , Public Schools" by J. R. Meskimmons :, Owing to the late hour MT. Meskim t mons kindly dispensed with the read - ing of his paper and made brief re
 marks regarding the results obtained
