THE THIRD Days SESSION
Of the Wheeling Teachers Institute
at the Y. M. G. A.
Miss Buckbee Continued Her Talk
Of the Previous Day-She Gave
Some Practical Hints on Teaching
Children-Prof. Black Talked on
Number Work-General Discus
sions- Programme for To-Day,

At the usual hour yesterday morn
ing the institute was called to order.
After roll-call codas, containing
number of beautiful selections, and
which were generously provided by
the Board of Education, were distrib-
uted among all. Before beginning the
real work all joined in singing annie
Laurie"
Miss Buckbee resumed her talk of
the day before. She repeated the
statement that children express them
selves more readily if they have some
thing to say and if they have a desire
/ to say it. Then the main point is to
study the motives which incite them
to expression. If we first study our
selves we learn that a large part of
what we want to say grows out of
characteristic traits that we find in
cur neighbors, in our surroundings.
We do not enjoy repeating things that
we have said, again and again; we
like to say something new. When we
read we want the latest news-the re-
suits Of the most recent Investigations
in science, and indeed so great is the
demand for something new-for the
very latest theories, that we all are
subjects of ridicule for novelists and
caricaturists.
So it is with children who are Just
learning to express themsleves-the
have no desire to produce such SEN
fences as these: Birds sing" dogs
bark" etc. They have known these
facts ever since they have known any
thing; but if some characteristic
trait Of well known object be told
them-some trait which is entirely
new to them, they will take great
pleasure in giving it expression.
Emerson says that mot more does d
newly acquired coin in a boys pocket
burn to be spent, than newly ac-
quired thought burns to be expressed"
Do not have language lessons for lam
guage alone. but teach it in connec-
ton with geography, history, litera-
ture and science work
The third step is Guided Practice"
What is the aim Of practice9 There
are four things we want to secure:
Fluency, conciseness, vocabulary
and correctness grammatical and
rhetorical. Fluency does not mean
mere verbosity; fuency is like Wig
orous tree, giving full growth, like a
river that flows naturally and fully

Says the Oregon Agriculturist:
ave have received from w. j.
Beal, Ph. D., professor of botany
in the Michigan agricultural col
fege, the following note, written
Nov. 13, 1897:
ssTo the EDITOR: A copy of
your paper has recently been sent
me; containing an account of the
brown rot by Professor Cordley.
who is an enthusiast upon This and
kindred subjects. Some tine ago
while working at this college on
brown rot, he found by his expert
ments that the spores grew SO rap
idly that they got the start of him
during the Intervening hours Of
the night. Not to be outdone he
fixed up new lot of spores for
termination in prune juice, and
brought in some blankets to the
laboratory, where he stayed two
nights that he might examine
these spores every two or three
hours And here he performed
some experiments, finding that
these spores would grow we'll on
strawberries. raspberries, black
berries, rose hips. green hazel nuts.
and some other things.

COLLEGE SPORTS.

The achievements of the o.
A. c. football team of 1897 will
be long remembered. An un-
broken 1ine of victories, unmarr-
ed by even all accusation of foul
playing has been won by the
eleven young gentlemen who en-
listed in the athletic campaign
for the honor Of their college.
The citizens of Corvallis have
shown their appreciation of the
magnificent work of the boys in
contributing very literally to.
ward the teams expenses, and
in many other ways the cordial
relation existing between the
town and college has been mani
tested.
The football season is over
but the field day sports are com
ing on and there is a general de
sire that the intercollegiate fele
day events next June be held a
Corvallis, If suitable grounds
can be secured and put in prope
conditions, it is very probabl
that the June games will com
to Corvallis, this town being b.
far the best patron of colleg
sports in the valley.
The board of regents have bu
little money to use for athleti
purposes, but doubtless woul
contribute as much as the citi
Zens would raise. The matte
will be taken in hand at once b
some of the leading bushes
men, and when Corvallis busi
ness men make a start they max
also a creditable finish.

ABOUT BOLTING.

Dusty, Or, DEC. 5, 1897.
To THE EDIToR:-Io observe that
you say, "Lord is seeking re-
nomination" l notice also your
editorial statements that he is un-
fit for the position. Further, the
GAZETTE is a republican paper
and proudly claims that it sis not
a bolter.' Presuning that Lord
secures the reconciliation next
June, will the GAZETTE support
an unfit man or will it bolt?
Logic is logic. ?:
REPUBLICAN
The GAZETTE will not "bolt. !"
Logic is logic but all argument is
not logics> We support political
principles through political par
ties and proper discipline is as
necessary in political as in other
organizations. Newspapers and
public men iwho believe in par
ties and associate themselves
with a party. volunteering advice
and expecting, if their advice is
followed, support of their fellow
partisans who have advised other
wise, have no right to sbolto a
party nomination because the
/. nominee does not suit them.
Such action is an exhibition of
weakness, of lack of self-controls
It furthermore presumes a super
iority of judgement and honesty
on the part of the ssbolters. y
Public journals and public men
cannot pfoperEyac the fee
dom of political action that is the
heritage of a private citizen. If
Lord is nominated by a republi-
can convention, this paper will
not fight him. His nomination
would be unrighteous and unwise,
for he is unfit and unpopular;
but the GAZETTE feels itself un-
equal to the task of forming a
new party, and being thoroughly
satisfied with republican doctrines
will not offend good taste and
good sense by fighting Lord, if
the republican party no,ninatcs
him.
Our frank enquirer is frankly
