FINAL SESSION.
Prof. MunrOe OF Westiield Makes
-- au Address.
"School Discipline From tn: Child's
Standpoint" tn. Theme.

The final session OF the Teachers In
! stituts was held this forenoon. The at
tendance at this years meetings has been
uDIrecedentedly large and enthusiastic.
No doubt the sp eI u d and attractive array
OF brilliant speakers is psrtly responsible
for this. They have nearly all tecn men
who carried the audience with them, and
their subjects, too, have been vital ones,
recognized by every teacher. out OF
about 100 teachers I'm the state, the In
stitUte mas II membership OF about lJOO.
Altogether the outlook for the cause OF
education is very bright. Probably never
befOrs mas there existed IN this state the
widespread interest thsb is found here to
day, certainly the state has never possessed
so many conscientious workers and bril-
liant thinkers devoted To this cause as
now.
The opening exercises consisted of the
organ Irectai, devotional. exercise and
singing 10y the institute. The speaker Of
the morning was Prof W. :. Munroe of
the westiield Normal school. who spoke
on School Discipline from the Child's
Standpoint. lie said in substance:
Children have rights. We are TO study
what the child thinks of certain things
Why do we need the child's opinions To
get the effect of the various forms OF pun
ishment on the child's mind.
q There are persistent tendencies in large
numbers. Aud we desire ID find thess.
We can only get these by the study OF the
child. Ii gives us the sentiment OF
schools.
One important question Is the testifyinR
against evil doors. Prof. Munroe had inter
esting harts 10 show his methods of inves-
tigation. also exhibiting charts showing
clearly the percentage of the children who
would testify against evil doers and
those who would not. He did not believe
the basis of refus ii 10 testify was right
bat the thing should bs rsme3ied by
change in the child sense of honor.
A second question is that Of class re-
sponslbility that is the keeping after
school of the whole class TO punish an
unknown evil doer.
do children think this metohod just or
unjust and wbyf Again he presented
his charts showing the percentage of
opinion.
II children are TO become self-glverning
men. should they not learn self-govern
ment i'm the schools!
a third question Is that of punissments
recommended bv children. What would
they recommend for punishment for cer-
tain offenses and why Again the charts
did good service. The majority of child
rem favor whipping rs punishm ent
The children that would have told
against evil doors are tho younger ones
AS they grow older they grow less will
ing to testify. The majority believe in
class responsibility.

On Saturday night last William
McCrimmon, young man OF ~
years, whose home was at Carson
and who was employed at Smiths
store, in Washoe City, committed
suicide by taking morphine. he
went to Carson from Washoe on
Saturday afternoon, purchased the
poison, returned to Washoe in the
evening and took the fatal dose at
about 9 o'clock, dying at about 2
o'clock Sunday morning. There
seems to be no good reason for the
rash act, at least his friends give
none.

LITTLE Greece is about knocked
out. She had one big battle about
won when her army was called off;
and everybody is wondering now
where those orders came from call
ing away the troops at the critical
moment, and who issued them.
Greece took up the of human
ity in this war; something every
other nation on the face Of the earth
was afraid to do. We do not believe
she much expected to win the fight
single handed, but there were other
nations which should have helped
her. They, however, were afraid
to antagonize the business interests.
Afraid to lose few dollars in trade
though thousands of lives were be-
ing sacrificed in behalf of the per-
secuted people of Christian nation.
Greece was brave, but she fought
against too great odds, and when
the war is ended it will be her own
people who will be taxed to death
to pay for the cost of the war inau-
gurated in the cause of humanity.
Mighty Powers!

Mint. ON the Care Of the Eyes.

The eye, the organ of the sense OF
sight, is the most sensitive, delicate,
exquisite piece of machinery in the
body. Let the care of the eye COM
mence with the infant.
Let not the new born child face
the bright light, natural or artificial.
Do not try home doctoring if an
infants eyes get sore, it lis dangerous.
Sit erect in your chair when
reading.
Let the light fall on your paper
and not in your eyes.
Do not strain the eyes by reading
in the twilight, or by Pickering
light.
Reading in railroad car is bad
for the eyes.
In sleeping have the head of the
bed toward the window.
Stop using your eyes when you
are instinctively prompted to rub
them.
To remove particle from the eye
make a loop by doubling horse
hair, raise the lid of the eye in which
the particle is, slip the loop of horse
hair over the lid, place the lid in
contact with the eye ball, withdraw
the loop and the particle will come
with it.
Also rubbing the well eye with a
circular motion from right to left
will sometimes remove a particle
from the other eye, or pull the up
per lid of the effected eye we'll down
and then blow the nostril of that
side.
If the eyes are weak, battle them
with cold water for fifteen minutes
morning and night, which will
strengthen them.
If the eyes burn and smart after
a hard days work, or exposure to
heat, wiring a towel out of hot water
and lay over them repeating twice.
1t is very dangerous to use any
thing to brighten the eyes, and es-
pecially dangerous to try to make
the pupils large to enhance ones
appearance, it has the opposite effect
and makes you pop-eyed.
Do not let false modesty prevent
you from wearing glasses when you
need them. Go to good oculist to
be fitted for glasses.
Ill fitting glasses are worse than
none.
Another day and we will tell you
something about eggs.
DIR. Fisk.
