NOTES ON THE LECTURES.
Miss Lloyd on Monday in her talk
on hygiene in the schoolroom ad-
v1sed teachers to sec to the physical
comfort as we'll as the mental ad-
vancement Of the pupils. Discipline
and the success of the schools de-
ponds largely on the hygienic rules
observed. She described the old
fashioned school and her experience
in teaching and struggles to regu.
late the temperature of the room.
She spoke Of dress and of the man.
ner Of eating and warned against
carelessness in both.
Tuesday morning during singing
and devotional exercises the sun
broke through the thick clouds pre-
saying a bright day and many ac-
oepted it as an omen Of success Tor
the institute, in which certainly
they were not mistaken. Miss
Lloyd further elaborated her previ-
ous subject discussing temperance
and declared the only safety to be
in total abstinence. If boys wish
good situations they must be sober
as we'll as intelligent and must
avoid bad companions. Large en-
lployers are fast refusing to accept
men who drink. Her illustrations
of the evil effects of drinking were
excellent.
Miss Partridge followed with q
talk on language. She believes chill,
dren are more apt to use better
Language than their elders and suit

ination and thought the formei
