tend this lecture. Prof. Hawks is
known to rank high as comic lecturer
and we feel sure that if you hear him
you will enjoy treat.
Tuesday evening, Hon. 2. 7. Sweeney
of Columbus, Ind, will give his lecture,
'sGoing Up to Jerusalem. As Or.
Sweeney is not so well known in this
state allow me to quote from two au-
thorities as follows: Il regard Or.
Sweeney as one of the strongest preach
ers in America; REV. Talmage)
We have had the greatest lecturers OF
the country here but none have pleas
ed so well as did Mr.. Sweeney; tPres.
of Hiram college,.
Wednesday evening the Russell ID.
Conwell; the brilliant preacher, author
and lecturer, will deliver his famous
lecture, 'Heroism of a Private Life.
Rev. Conwell needs no introduction,
he has been on the lecture platform Tor
SO years, during which time he has de-
livered over 5000 lectures, besides
preaching to the thousands who weekly
throng to his church.
The Philadelphia Times in speaking
of him says he is the only lecturer who
can fill hall with 5000 people at dol
lar ticket.
Thursday evenings lecture will be
given by Prof. Eugene c. Foster NJ s.,
of the Temple college, Philadelphia, on
the subject of Liquid Air Gllustrated),
To saw the least for this subject it is
certainly one of the newest and most
scientific topics of the day. Seldom, If
ever. has a scientific discovery created
such an interest among the people as
has LIQUID air. What it is, what is now
being done with it and what will be
done with it in the future are no longer
hidden treasures.
The lecturer will have with him on
the platform several gallons of real
liquid air and will there not only tell
of its history, composition, uses, etc,
but with it will perform many novel
and interesting experiments,
have to say for this course OF lect-
ures that it is the most expensive course
ever secured for a Butler county teach
er's institute. We have done this be-
cause we believe that the teachers and
the people of this town and county are
anxious to hear and see the best that is
going, and / do hope the people OF the
town and county will come out and en-
ioy each one of these lectures.
Season tickets for this course will be
on sale at Reeds News Stand or can be
purchased from the County Supt. at
any time after Dec. 10, the price being
cut to $1.75.
The Directors Convention will be
held in the Park Theatre, Thursday,
Dec. 90, commencing at 1O:45.
A full and interesting program mas
been arranged for this meeting and L
here earnestly request every dire ctor IN
the county to be present if possible at
this convention.
ANY young man or lady who expects
to teach school next year and would like
to become member of this institute
can do SO by purchasing teachers tick
ct from the Supt., which will ent1tle
them to the same rights and privileges
as though they were now teaching.
Excursion rates have been secured on
all the railroads of the county. Those
who come on the P. B. q L. +. X. X.
will not be sent the coupon, but will be
given excursion rates when they buy
their tickets.
Teachers, directors and friends of ed
ucation we hope to make this the best
institute ever held in the county: but
we can't do that without your presence
and hearty cooperation.
We therefore kindly request you to
come and help it along.
Yours very truly,
HOWARD |. PAINTER.
