institute-A Thorough School Man
Of Wide Experience.

The following paragraphs are cliI
ped from the report Of the Sheridan
county teachers institute in the Sher
idan Enterprise:
The Sheridan county teachers in
stitute was in session the first fou
days Of the week, conducted by Prot
Frank H. H. Roberts. principal of tn
normal department Of the state uni
versity. The number in attendant,
was the largest in the history of tn,
institute in this county, the interes
and enthusiasm and it is believed the
good accomplished for the teachers o
the county were greater than ave be
fore.
The Merchant Of Venice was read il
part and discussed with reference t.
its use as reading matter in the
schools. Prof. Roberts gave three very
helpful lectures on psychological sub
Decentralization of Ideas. Interest
and Attention. and also one on Educa
ton that contained many good sugges
tions for the teachers.
Other lectures given by Prof. Rob
erts on the Important Things In His
tory, and Laboratory Methods in Civil
Government were rich in new ideas
and suggestions on the best means o.
teaching the subjects referred to.
The question box which was had each
day proved very valuable in bringing
out the points on which the teachers
wanted help. Prot. Roberts answers
to these questions and all others that
the teachers wished help on showed
that he is a thorough school nan o.
wide experience, scholarly attain
ments. ready and clear in his explana'
tions of difficult matters. and withal
thorough, enthusiastic and courteous
at all times.
The lecture given by Prof. Roberts
Wednesday evening on Henry Clay
was a very able one and was listened
to with great interest by a large audi
ence.
Previous to final adjournment, the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted by the teachers: I'VE. the
teachers Of Sheridan county, in insti.
tute assembled, hereby express to Prof.
Roberts our hearty approval Of the en-
thusiastic and eficiolt manner in
which he has conducted The institute,
and to Miss Kirby out thanks for the
care and preparation she has exercised
in making the institute a success"
Afterward a petition was signed by
the teachers urging the next legisla
ture to appropriate a suficfent sum o
money to make a creditable showing
of the work of the publis schools Of tn
state at the Worlds fair to be held F.:
st. Louis in 1904.

ers' institute was opened by chorus
singing by some of the public school
children. Under the direction of Prpf.
Marquardt some forty odd little misses
from the nth and ninth grades enter
tanned members Of the institute with
two we'll rendered choruses
Prof. belong followed with the
subject, "Quit You Like Men: Be
Strong" He said in his opening re-
marks that physical culture is pretty
we'll managed today, but no definite in
structions can be given to the student
who is vitality interested in whatever
will be contributed to mental training;
that all growth Is q very slow thing:
that telling Is not teaching. He then
gave the rules for Intellectual training
that had been given by President Eliot
Of Harvard university. namely: lob.
serve accurately, record correctly:
group. compare. infer Justly. Express
cogently the result Of these mental OPP
p%erations." Taking these, rules as =
basis. he gave . most able talk on the
intellectual growth Of the Individual.
He spoke Of the sources Of knowledge.
from the study Of the, most common
object at oyx feet, to the history Of the
past. the vital thought, of, the, day. all
to be q means for the intellectual
growth OF the Individual. and this
growth to- be the source OF cause, Of
skill and power that IL 20 needed. 30
demanded in life today. He spoke OF
what he termed the blunderers-that
there is. a lack Of skill and power; that
these gifts cannot be born. cannot, be
inherited. cannot be bought, but must
be got by actual practice. Our guild
ing word should be, do your best"
then criticise your work. make 1t bet
tar and,a0inn better. 70 on to success.

IN . review Of the ssS power Of
the great nations the Naval Annual
shows that In the ten years from
1892 70 1904 these changes have o.
Cured:
1. Russia, Germany and the United
States have all become the owners
Of as many battleships as France,
which ten years ago was IN that re-
sPeet second only to Great Britain.
2. Japan's navy has been created
and, for Asiatic purposes, Il united
with Great Britain's.
3. The British and japanese naviea
together number ~ Armorelsds of
the hrst-class-thrse more than the
combined total Of Russian, French
and German Warships Of that class.
:. France has made armorod cruis-
ers the prime feature Of her new
construction and win shortly count
IL Of them.
S. Great Britain has well main
tanned her lead over her two most
probable adversaries and now counts
90 drat-class bsttlsships ready for
action, against II for France and
Russia combined.
Assuming that the United States
does not Join Il the Naval Annual
concludes that no combination Of
naval powers could be made strong
enough 20 destroy British sea power.
