STOCKS AND BONDS.
Superintendent Williams began his
discussion of the subject, Stocks and
Bonds" which proved to be very in
teresting and instructive. He explain
ed the terms bulls" and bears"
brokers, etc., and the influence they
exercised on the business of the world.
There are many valuable lessons to be
learned by studying the action of the
stock and bond maIkets-such infor-
nation will prove invaluable in the
active walks of business life.
HOW TO TEACH CIvICS.
Doctor Hinsdale gave his final talk
on How to Teach Civics."
A person does wrong, not because he
does not know any better, but because
his character is too weak to resist
temptation. Obedience, reverance to
whom due, is the way a child learns
civic habits Children must learn to
pay due reverence to any officer,
whether he be a nationtl or state Of
icer
Formal instruction in civics should
be introduced into the school quite
early. Civic instruction should en-
brace moral and ethical instruction.
THE TEACHERS IDEAL.
The final number on the program,
"The Teachers Ideal"
SUPERINTENDENT WILLIAMS.
The teacher should have an ideal-a
true ideal. The mind is composed of
sets of faculties. 1t takes the mind to
remember to conceive.
For a description, one draws upon
his imagination, his memory. An ideal
character is rare-it takes the good
parts of all good characters to make
UP one that is ideal in the full sense of
the term. Put all of the qualities to-
gether and you have your ideal. An
ideal realized is a representative pro-
duct of the mind-in the true sense of
the term it cannot be fully realized.
An ideal impels us to move forward,
upward-it is the rainbow of promise
the pot of gold is at the other end, but
the end is never reached. Make effort,
strive to get better, to forge ahead.
Nothing comes without effort-it is es-
sential to all success. Every great
thought that ever emanated from man
came from a good idea--reality follows
IDEALS. 1t is all right to hope to be-
come an ideal teacher-the young man
or young woman who strives to sue
ceed will have the satisfaction of
knowing that satisfactory results will
follow their efforts. The ideal is the
souls consciousness of its possibli-
ties-it lures one on. 1t possesses an
ethical phase, a practical phase, even
though it can never be attained.
Browning says:
Else a mans reach exceeds his grasp. |
Pray, what is Heaven for?"
The spiritual vision exceeds its
grasp. The higher the Christian gets,
he larger his horizon. The more you
know, the more certain you are that
you know little; but the less you |
know, the more you think you know |
The man who does his duty earns
more than he gets, always, no differ |
ence what the work, but the fellow |
who thinks he is doing too much and |
getting too little pay, as rule is not
earning his salary.
Be ambitious. Michael Angelo after |
more than four years of steady work,
delighted the world wit hhis wonderful |
painting en- the ceiling of the Sistine |
Chapel in Rome-but Michael Angelo |
was not satisfed-he had a higher |
ideal.
