institute Notes.
INSTITUTE INSTRUCTORS:

Miss Perry has secured a strong and
able force of instructors for the pres.
tent term of the Institute. Prof.
Weld, OF Cedar Rapids, former prin-
cipal OF our public schools, and with a
state wide reputation as a vsteran
among the educators Of the state, was
wisely and properly placed at the head
of the list.
Prof. Parry gave much good musical
instruction, one of the important
branches in education, and one that,
confident to incompetent hands, pro-
duces harm instead of benefit.
In penmanship and drawing was
Mrs. Stanton, who as Miss Ruth q.
Allison, OF Charles City, for SO many
years ably presided over that depart
ment in our schools. She was doubly
welcomed to Cresco as one of its able
and accomplished corps ofinstructors.
Mrs. j. L. Buechele of Independence. :
is not a stranger where there are
people to be instructed and is very
efficient, and because Of this is popu-
lar in Institute work.
Prof. Ling and Miss Eva Marshall,
OF the corps of Cresco instructors in
our public schools, were very properly
given departments in the wide field
OF usefulness opened up to those who
aspire to become the future teachers
and instructors among the young.

when Martha was going to speak
her piece. Now he was a full

partner. We had long time to

and learned, and Martha's was

How old is a Chinaman? CT

How old is a Chinaman? Can
you give a good guess? 1t is
harder to tell than the age OF a
negro. The Chinaman has no
beard and his hair is of a jet and
glossy blackness, which turns
gray only at an extreme old age,
when a Caucasian head would be
either snow white or bald. Then,
again, the Chinese have the most
perfect nervons system OF any
people in the world, and do no
wrinkle up with age. So, you
have little to 60 by. A Chinaman
will look 30 when he is 20 and
when he is 30, II you ask him
his age, he will place at least ten
wears ahead for he holds old age
to be honorable, and among his
nsople he will be respected and

tdnsattes o! Fetmers' Children.

One OF the worst mistakes CON.
mon aEoUg our farmers il the
attitude Tor the lack OF attitude)
usually taxed toward the educa.
ton OF their children. Few, says
writer in the Globe Democrat,
visit the schools where the chill.
oren are trained for veal or woe.
The hired man ia watched very
carefully about caring for the cat
tie and hogs, but the individual
who Is appointed to care for the
children six hours every day is
often a stranger to their parents
or guardians. Some say: liam
no teacher, and believe in leaving
the work to one who processes tc
be able to teach" But we must
remember that our presence at
school may be of great value in
encouraging him who knows how
to teach to do better and keep our
children, and their teachers, from
getting careless and negligent of
duty. How much good our pres.
ence and encouraging word now
and then may do, eternity only
can fully answer, and how much
evil q careless, indifferent man.
Nora erumbling about "that
teacher" in the presence of our
children-may do, can never be
fully realized. Another common
mistake consists in hiring teachers
simply because they will work
cheap, when So or $40 more on
the month would secure live,
wide-awake teacher who would
be a power for good in the school,
instead Of open disobedience and
careless, unscholarly habits to be
formed. The wise farmer con-
siders it poor economy to let a
good hand go for the sake OF a
few dollars increase in wages.
Why not apply the same principle
to teachers where the result of
poor work cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents only. Ten dol.
lars more a month to secure a
good teacher may mean % or 80
more from you. If you are poor
your burden will be correspond.
ingly light, while your children
will receive as much benefit from
the superior ,training Of good
teacher as your wealthy neigh
boris; and if wealthy, you can
hardly contribute to a better
cause and at the same time be
throwing safeguards around
yourself and, property. Ignorance
is the curse of God, knowledge
the wing whsrewith We fly to
heaven. 1t often happens that
very poor people, with large fam.
lilies, object to building a new
school house, hiring a good
teacher, or purchasing library,
when, the extra Tax would not cost
as much as a single vice would
cost in a week. -Cotton Planters
