spiritual tone. The harmony shown at
tho beginning in the hearty and cordial
greeting by Or. S. S. fowler and in the
response given by Miss Mamie Morrow,
Of Tionesta continued Throughout the
week without dscordant note. The
/ first instructor introduced to the institute
was Prof J. S. Brown of McKeesport,
who had charge Of the music throughout
the week The book used was the
"Apollo Of Song" by $. @. Smith, which
will be used next year too. Upon being
! introduced Prof. Brown said, 81 am a
! practical sort of fellow. will not tell you
what n handsome set Of people you are

handsome does If the teachers will
help me Ivy furnishing the Indictment, I
will then be at my best" The quiet dig

/ Of the work and the hearty response Of
| the teachers made the music one of the
charming features Of the institute, and
| Prof Brown surely carries with him the
thought that the teachers of Forest coun-

When introducing the next instructor,
DR.. w. w. Black of Campaign, ILL.,, Snpt.
Stitzinger said that it had been his privi-
lege to "sit at the feet" of Dr. Black one
week, and he felt sure we would not be
disappointed. In reply DR.. Black said, 1

true worth as an instructor cannot be es-
tinated. When introduced he was a
| stranger to the institute, but he had not
finished his first talk till the teachers
recognized in him likeness of the Great
Teacher and one who would be truly
helpful to them in their chosen field of
labor. AS one said of him. "He is an
other Paul" One Of the ideas brought
out in his first talk was that "man cam
not go out alone into the big sandy desert
and have grand thought but the world
will hear of it and the fellow that is wor-
thy will come out all right. In life
time. man will get just about what he
merits.' And after listening to his in
structions during the week we were all
of the same opinion.
Following DR.. Black came our worthy
State superintendent, DR. N. c. Schaefier.
The warm applause with which he was
greeted expressed most eloquently the
estimation in which he is held by the
teachers of Forest county. This was DR..
Schaeifer's first Introduction TO an audi
ence in this county, but the high tribute
paid by him to our present member OF
the State Legislature, Hon. j. Il. Wenk,
in respect TO the interest Mr.. Wenk took
in the educational bills that were before
the last legislature, showed that he had
} formed good opinion of us before visit
ing our little county. His first subject
was Books" which he handled in q
mastery way. 1--WE need n stirring up, y
said DR.. Schaeffer, "on the right use OF
