Minutes of Educational Meeting.

Prof. Teitrick opened the meeting
with singing. Reading the Scriptures
and prayer by DR.. Waller was followed
by music. Miss Thompkins was intro
duced to talk on First Year Work in
School," She talked particularly of
Reading. THE greatest error i'm teach
ing Reading is that the pupil is allowed
TO rest in the form and fails to get the
spirit or thot back OF the form. The
child reads rightly before he starts to
school, reads in the larger sense, that
is interprets what he sees about him.
Follow nature in teaching Reading.
The child learns to talk by trying to
express want or give expression to
thot. Put him in a place where he is in
stress for the printed or written word.
and be will struggle to get it,"
DR.. Waller next talked on 1.-THE
Recitation, Aims, General and Specific" !"
The general ends OF a recitation are for
test OF progress, to measure the pro-
gress OF the individuals, for the direct
ing of effort, and to clarity their ideas.
Oral expression clarifies IDEAS Precis-
ion in recitation clarifies ideas. Anoth-
er end Of the recitation is to deepen
interest. The special end OF the reci-
tation is determined by the subject,
grade and time OF term.
After short intermission DR.. Davis
talked on "The First Day of School,"
Visiting the schoolroom prior to the
opening day. Study your grade-book
Know your plans, and make your plans
fit the school. Have your plans so
definitely arranged that you can very
soon assign each pupil some work"
Meeting adjourned TO meet at l.30.
Afternoon session opened by singing.
Miss Thompkins read story written
by her class last year, which called
forth many questions. Composition is
just the opposite Of Reading. The child
must live with the thot, be happy in it
and he will want to express his idea Of
IL. Give him the form for his own thot
and he will remember it. He will be
proud of his own production and will
read it gladly" The story read was on
1.-THE Moth" The facts were accurate,
but the children were allowed to make
it fanciful. Miss Thompkins conducted
Reading class. Showed by questions
how to find the ideal truth meant to be
conveyed In the selection. She advised
using literary selections for Reading,
because the pupil has so many oppor-
tunities for didactics.
DR.. Davis, in his talk on the Go
operation Of Parents" advised getting
acquainted with the parents, aud keep
ing in touch with the pupils home life.
DR.. Walters next subject was Meth
cd in Recitation" do not have a
regular order of putting questions.
Have reviews systematically and habit
ually. Assign lessons definitely"
Prof. Teitrick in his closing address
urged the teachers to make the opening
exercises especially interesting, to have
the school grounds cleaned up, and to
decorate the rooms with good pictures.
He commended the teachers for the
establishing Of the school libraries, and
asked them TO go on with the good work
of putting good books in these public
school libraries.

School Opened Monday.

The public schools OF this borough
opened Monday morning and after two
hours session was dismissed for the day
on account of it being Labor Day. Yes
terday the pupils took up the work in
earnest. There is no reason why this
should not be the best term Of school
ever known in this borough. II the pu-
pills will apply themselves to their

Congressional Conference.

The congressional conference of the
twenty-frst district, which met in In
diana on Tuesday of last week and re-
mained in session until Thursday, result
cd in deadlock. The candidates from
Armstrong and Westmoreland, Major
Joseph G. Beale, of Leechburg, and II.
+. Seanor, OF Greensburg, united their
forces to prevent nomination. Hon.
S. M. Jack, of Indiana, conceded the
nomination to Jefferson's candidate,
Hon. w. o. Smith, and asked Messrs.
Seanor and Beale to unite with him in
making the nomination. He said that
II Indiana could not get second term,
the nomination should go TO Jefferson
county, as Armstrong and Westmore-
land had both had it twice, and Indiana
once, since Jefferson. Messrs. Seanor
and Beale were not disposed to consider
the equity in the case, and persisted
in deadlocking the conference. The
conference adjourned to meet In Kittan-
ming on Tuesday, September 1lth, when,
II a nomination is not made, which does
not appear probable, the state commit
tee will intervene and settle the matter.
The state committee, looking at the
matter from an unprejudiced standpoint,
cannot do otherwise than concede the
nomination to jefferson.

Harvest Home Picnic.

The Strouse Church Sunday school,
of Paradise, held harvest home picnic
in Ludwick's grove last Thursday. II
was an ideal day for an outing, the
grove is delightful place for a picnic
and the people evidently were out for a
day of pleasure. A large platform, with
seats enough in front of it to accommo-
date three or four hundred people, had
been built for this special occasion
Lewis Ludwick, superintendent of the
Sunday school, was master OF cere-
monies and before the noon hour he
called the assemblage to order and de-
livered a hearty address of welcome,
after which the choir made the forest
ring with sacred song. Rev. w. Selner,
pastor Of the church, offered an earnest
prayer, then another selection by choir,
followed by an address from Rev. Sell
ner. This was followed by a very i'm
portant part Of the days 'doings," dis
posing Of the good things to eat, OF
which there was an abundance. The
hospitality Of the Paradise people is
not surpassed in this section of the
country. Several prominent speakers
were booked for the afternoon program,
but they failed to materialize and the
hours were spent in social way by the
older folks and game OF ball was
amusement for the young people.

acquaintances. tells Of seeing him COM
ing away from church unusually early
one Sunday morning. "The sermon
could not have been more than half
way through" says Mr.. Alcott. His
son, Tad was slung across his left
arm like pair of saddlebags, and
Lincoln was striding along with long
and deliberate steps toward home.
con one of the street corners he en-
countered group of his fellow towns
men. Lincoln anticipated the question
which was about to be put by the
group, and, taking his figure of speech
from practices with which they were
only too familiar. said. Gentlemen, l
entered this colt. but lie kicked around

The Correct stroke In Swimming.

The correct stroke of the legs is ex-
actly like that of frogs hind legs.
Watch one Of these frogs and copy his
style. You cannot do better. The legs
are drawn up together slowly. not with
jerk. until they are gathered in
close under the body. Then with q
sudden, quick spring they are shot out
behind. the ankles being turned so
that the soles of the fee present as fat
surface as possible to the water and
so offer more resistance from which
to make progress. AS the kick is
made the legs should be spread out in
the shape of a letter V, but not allowed
to sink far down under the surface of
the water. If they kick downward at
an angle instead of out straight be-
hind much Of their energy is wasted in
unnecessarily forcing the body out of
the water instead Of forward through
it.-Harper's Bazaar.

CHINESE MECHANICAL SKILL
A Wonderful Example of Initiative
Excellence.

Whatever may be his lack of moral
perception and originality Of idea, the
heather Chinee certainly excels in
Initiative power, and is often very
much alive to the excellence Of
mechanical devices that he never saw
before. In The American Machinist
Oberlin Smith affords an illustration Of
this fact.
Some years ago Mr.. Smith sent
Henry A. Janvier to China to assist in
the erection and operation Of coming
plants for brass and silver currency.
One Of the tools which Mr.. Janvier
took with him was micrometer cali
per. made by well known firm in the
United States. and capable of detecting
differences of thousandth of an inch
in the thickness Of a piece Of metal.
The superintendent Of one of the shops
which Mr.. .Ianvicr established was
named Wal, and he proved very in-
telligent fellow. During an interval Of
about six weeks he borrowed the cali
per almost daily. and was rather tardy
in returning it.
