Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1898-07-27

With an enrolment of seventy. and
there will be more enrolled before the
Close OF the week.
Those in attendance show great In.
terest in their work. From the first day
the wheels of progress have been turn
ing without friction. ItisSupt. Sheli's
plan to keep them well fabricated.
Though this institute is thus spoken
of figuratiyely as q machine, we would
have the schoolboards and patrons of
the schools of Barber county to know
that the teachers it produces are not
machines nor are they products of a
machine, for by their work they prove
conclusively that they are 1.-Two SUBJ
jects.''
The first lecture in the course has
been mentioned in the county papers.
Its excellence was appreciated by the
teachers. There will be two other lee
lures during Normal. These lectures
are of such character that the pa
irons of our schools should not fail to
hear them. We regret exceedingly that
more of said patrons did not hear Prof.
Bear. His suggestions were not only
instructive, but some might have start
ed train of thought that would have
proved of material advantage to the
teachers of our county.
1t Is unnecessary to mention the
work that is being done by Mrs. Hahn,
Messrs. Shell and Ramey. The effici-
ency of their work has been spoken of
previously. Nor would they care for
the useless repetition, being satisfied
to know that the Inspiration they give
in their classrooms is appreciated and
lis influence felt in the schools and the
lives of the teachers.
Mr.. Wakefield, being new man"
it is right and proper that we should
give him special mention. We realize
that it would have been impossible to
have secured better CO worker for our
other instructors. AS he is still in
town. we will desist from further per.
SOnal remark, but it is the wish of ey-
cry teacher that the instructors of the
Barber County Institute of '99 will not
have to be introduced to the public.
This Is spoken of as quiet session,
yet there are things happening each
day that provoke our disabilities.
Now, Ralph Keller don't aim to be
funny. He never posed as a wit, yet
when he eiucidates the effects of tea on
the system, you could hear the students
smile all over the room.
And Claude Woollomes showed us
the narrowed condition of his feelings
when some one defined geography as
the science that treats of the earth as
the home of man. He quickly asked lis
it the home of man?'
We are pleased to acknowledge visits
from several of the delegates to the
Epworth League convention. Rev.
Rose conducted the chapel exercises
Wednesday morning and Mr.. Shiyely
Thursday morning. The ministers
gave us a sample of what conference is
like, which the small boy defined as a
place where preachers get together and
swap yarns. They favored us with
several anecdotes, all of which contain
ed a moral or gem of thought.
Among other of our visitors are Mes

Nelson, Minnie Kemp, Edna Eek. Alice
