The chemical laboratory does

chemistry from entertaining his
class with few experiments

lhe enrolment of students has
now reached one hundred and
twelve, and continues to be ad-

matrlculates of this week there is
Miss Annie Gibson of Houma.
Miss Gibson is boarding at the
doruitory.
The rainy weather of this week
has emphasized with many an
underscore the absolute necessity
of plank OF brick walk to the
Institute; for, although the
rain was light, many portions OF
the muddy walks were impossible
to all except school boys and
girls. We submit that the State,
parish, and town, have so far
done too nobly to permit us now
to remain satisfied while our boys
and girls tramp to school in mud.
And not only walk; but one that
will lead from the center of the
town and that will be real service
to the teachers and students.
Mr.. Woodson and the boys Of
the football team are very enthu-
1siastic over the game, Thev are

west Louisiana. Great dreams
they dream; and we trust the
coming months will show the foot

In accordance with what Presi-
dent Stephens has conceived to
be the high mission of the Insti-
tute, course of lectures will BE
begun in the near future. These
viii! be under the auspices of the
faculty, and will take place in the
auditorium of the school. Those
lectures, we firmly believe, will
prove great good to the school.
its students, and the people Of
Lafayette. Elsewhere, at the La. 4
State University. for example,
they have proved very successful,
and are always largely attended by
the town people as we'll as the ia
culties and students. We are con-
fdent that our town will not be
slow in avaiing itself OF the oppor-
tunities which will be offered at
these lectures, for pleasant even
ings and for intellectual improve
ment.
The first lecture, for which We
understand the faculty has already
contracted will be delivered during
the first or second week OF next
month. The entertainments will
consist Of an impersonation O;
some popular play, such as Hazel
kirke. The exact subject Of the
impersonation has not yet been
chosen, and will be announced n
these columns as soon as decided
upon. The lecturer will be MIR.

OonductIpg RecItatIon.

"How Should the Recitation Of q
Lesson be Conducted" Anna Kol-
man: A recitation of lesson should
be conducted in such a way as to dis
cover and make clear to the pupils
any defects of their knowledge of the
lesson to be recited. In order to DO
this the attention of all the mem bers
of the class must be secured, so that
the pupils and teacher can wol in
unity with one another. There should
always be an effort to make the Lesson
interesting and entertaining: In the
first place there should be a thorough
preparation by the teacher of the les
SON to be recited. so that he will bave
more freedom of speech and that it
may not be absolutely necessary 10
make constant use of text books.
Then the work becomes more inter-
esting to the pupils and less mechan-
ical to the teacher. Teachers should
not make it rule to ask such ques-
tons as can be answered by yes or
no, because such answers can be
given without much thought from
the pupil. For instance, If the teacher
were to ask the question "In what
part of the United States are the
Rocky mountains ?" each member of
the class would be thinking the
answer with the expectation of giving
it. No matter if only one has
answered, all have recited. But on
the contrary, if he should say,
flames, you may tell me in what
part of the United States are the
Rocky mountainsP" this would be
excusing the other members of the
class and allow each to engage in his
own line of thought. Again, the
teacher should make it point to call
upon the unexpected first and not in
regular order, because q pupil may
anticipate his question and withdraw
from the line of thought until his
turn comes. Ii pupil recites on
topic it should not be considered a
private affair between him and the
teacher; it should be a matter of con-
Germ to the whole class. 1t is well to
have a written recitation occasionally,
as it gives a drill in rapid writing and
spelling.

The morning session was opened by
singing America with organ ac-

Papers were read as follows:
assignment of the Lesson" Annie
Schwegler: Roark says, Ito assign
q lesson is to designate a more or less
definite portion of subject matter to be
acquired, assimilated and put into
some form of expression" He then
speaks of the teachers kno Wedge.
''that in order to a sign a lesson well
the teacher must know the subject
and the text book used, a'so the
minds of the children in regard to the
subj sct to be studied. so as to know
Just what they are able to do" IL is
best to study the lesson well short
time before assigning it so as to have
it fresh in mind. To know the minds
of the children we must study them
and the more interest we take for
their good the better we are enabled
TO do this. We should always bear
in mind that quality of work is
more important than quantity"
Short lessons well mastered are to be
preferred to long lessons carelessly
studied and sighted. Roark says:
lessons may be assigned by topics
or pages or by both com bined." L
think the best method for primary
work is by pages for grammar and
higher grades by topics, and both
com bined for higher grades, because
it is more impressive and aids in
fixing the facts and lessons in the
pupils minds.
