The M. P. Teachers go to Belmo Mt.

Literature records the ride of the
famous JOHN Gilpin; history, that of
the dashing Phil Sheridan; but no
ride will ever be more memorable in
the minds of the Mineral Point teach
ers than the trip to the Lafayette
County Teachers Association.
The entire faculty started for Bel
mont Friday p. NJ, and in spite of
the violent March wind in May,
we reached our destination in safety.
We were cordially received by the
Belmont teachers and assigned to
pleasant homes in the little city.
The ride proved an excellent whet-
stone for our appetite, and we won
dered whether the good housewives
of Belmont did not entertain grave
fears that the stores in their larders
would not last during the meeting
A rare treat was in store for the
teachers in the evening. We were
delightfully."- entertained by "A short
program consisting Of music and
readings, followed by the main feat
ure Of the evening, lecture on
"Sermons in Shakespeare" by Rev.
Vaughn. The dramatic power of the
speaker as shown in his portrayal
of Antonius, Shylock and Hamlet
was at once the work of student
and an artist.
This was followed by a pleasant
reception given to the visiting teach
ers by the teachers of Belmont.
Saturday morning began the regu-
lar session which was opened by a
beautifully worded address of well
come by the Rev. Dexter.
In the absence of Prof. Runke,
Supt. Bergen was called upon to
make the response, which was de-
livered in his usual, able and pleas
ing manner.
An enthusiastic address by Pres.
McGregor "What Have You Done?"
concluded the morning session.
The 7. Nj. was devoted to Sectional
Meetings in which the following
teachers of our city took part. In
the High School Section, Miss Jones
presented a vigorous paper on, "Fou
Years of English in the High School"
supplemented by an exhibit of work
from Mineral Point High School stu
dents.
In the graded school section Miss
Cummings read a helpful paper on
How the Library May be Adapted
to School Work?n and Miss Stephens
gave an original and interesting pa
per on, "Eow to Make Primary Read
ing Interesting"
A thirteen mile drive through
drizzling rain and splashing mud
ended our journey, but our ardor was
not dampened, nor can the cordial
welcome and sincere hospitality OF
Belmont and its teachers soon be ef-
faced from our memories.

Morals Versus Law.
The relation of law to morals is as
searching and suggestive study as
the other. The attempt to make men
moral by the enactment of law is as
futile as the imagination of, morality
without reference to law as it is de.
veloped, illustrated and applied in the
kaspel of Jesus Christ. For instance,
the great difficulty of legislation about
the supreme question or temperance
lies here. Neither will prohibition pre-
vent drunkenness, nor will the mere
signing of a pledge make a man
temperate. Just as restraint, helped
undoubtedly by a promise, is essen
tial to the individual, SO restriction
seems the only legal remedy for ex-
cess.
