are not only disasreeable. but they
hinder the free movements of the body
and prevent the free circulation of the
blood IN the organs with which they
come in direct contact and cause the
arrest of their growth. Besides that they
allow the warmth of the body to escape
, too quickly, consequently they may
cause colds and disease. The tightness of
the clothes around the waists( skirts) is
dangerous and injurious to stomach. Mv-

Worse yet, is the tight lacing

Value of an Education.
The morning session, after the address
Of DR.. Renick, was devoted to the regu-
lar course of instruction, the instructors
being those of yesterday ana the subjects
handled the same, only on different
branches. There We're psychology, his
tory, grammar and geography, by Prof.
j. NJ. Hamilton; didactics, mathematics
ana English by Prof. r. G.. Young; or
| thoepy and diacritical marking by Mrs.
Vera Tracey Young; drawing by the
Misses Kjelland and Dinsmore;vocal mu-
sic by Miss Mamie Finnegan and pri-
mary methods by Miss Annie L. Har-
wood. The morning session adjourned at
11:40 O'Clock.
When the afternoon session convened
at 15 o'clock Prof w. w. Welch deliv-
cred his address, which was to have been
given, at the opening of the Institute,
yesterday morning. His remarks were
general as regards the value and even
the necessity Of an education. He said
an education for the young was the
greatest wealth youth could have in fac
ing the world. A school room education,
he said, fitted the youth for entering col
lege and the collegiate education COM
pleted his training, for the particular
profession which he chose to follow.
Without primary education it was i'm
possible to begin at higher level and be
thorough and without the higher educa-
ton it was impossible to cope with the
educated professional men of the world.
In conclusioi Prof. Welch said that the
youth or man with general literary edu-
cation was we'll able to tackle the partic-
ular branch, of which he was later to
make a speciality and was in better shape
to forge ahead in that specially than the
man or youth who had no general educa-
tion.
