One Of His Pupils Tells Of His

tended II. Gives His Impressions
Of 1ts Great Founder.

"Agasslz as teacher" was the theme
OF DIR. Jordan's lecture at the Assem-
bly, Han this afternoon and the large
audience Of teachers was deeply inter-
ostcd In the talk. for that describes It
better than the term lecture"
DIR. Jordan was one OF the fortunate
students selected FOR entrance to the
famous Penikesc Island school. which
Agassiz founded and where natural his
tory was studied In the way the founder
favorcd-from natures own book.
DIR. Jordan spoke In a conversational
manner throughout. and In simple
way presented the striking traits OF
Agasslz's character az teacher lie
Illustrated his points by frequent anec-
dotes, and at the close paid a warm
tribute TO the teacher under whom he
studied for so short time. but who
made such a profound impression on
his character.
In Agassiz' day,sai1 the speaker. the
Harvard professor was different be-
ing from what he Is today. Then the
professor was superior being and the
students rarely saw him out of the
elass room. Agnsslz changed that.
nc went out ana mingled with the peo-
pie and gathered knowledge every
where. Dr. Jordan went to Agassiz
and said he wanted TO study sea weeds.
He was put to the study OF fishes. and
this was true Of many pupils, the great
teacher giving the student some line
OF study different from that which the
student himself selected.
II was In is13 that Agasslz estab-
lshed his school on the island" the
speaker being one OF the students. At
the end OF that year Agasslz died, and
they all felt. AZ they laid the laurel on
his grave, that they had lost the best
friend that ever student had with
Agassiz' death the school on the island
died. although the students tried hard
to keep II up.
III you study nature In the books,
when you No out OF doors you cannot

Enquiry at the big farm implement
houses here brought out the fact that
no now classification or freight tarln

this was because there was no such adj

said. one OF the managers thought II
