MONDAY AFTERNOON.
After the opening exercises Prof.
Holden addressed the institute on
the subject Of History. He said
that dates and biography were i'm
portant in this study. and the young
people must be taught carefully
that these things are not all. Dates
do not make character nor even de-
velop it. Biography does more in
this respect.
We have entered upon a new
era. The poet laureate of England
calls upon both English speaking
uations to forget ancient wrongs"
and unite to suppress present
wrong and injustice. The time has
come when Americans will regard
our mother England as a friend,
and an enemy no more, we trust
forever.
Prof. Holden suggested that two
characters in American history for
the teacher to call special attention
to are-George Washington, the
father of his country" and Bene-
dict Arnold, traitor, the man who
betrayed his country. 1t develops
character to learn early in life to
love that which is good and hate
what IS wrong IN the character OF
tine persons who are prominent IN
the history of Our country.
Prot. Crago talked awhile on
Current History. Said the present
war convinced Us all how little we
know of geography, for it goes
right along with history. He gives
a weekly drill in current history,
the events of the time. Pupils
ought to read the newspapers and
magazines, for history is making all
the time.
Older pupils should get hold OF
the philosophy OF history and thus
learn how events shape themselves.
Recess.
