The Army should win the game, in
spite of the fact that Princeton beat
the West Pointers and was beaten by
the men of Annapolis. The thing is so
close, however, that a royal battle is
certain, barring accidents. The sailors

determination against their traditional

After devotional exercises Miss
Garlic opened the institute with a
talk on the first day of school.
She spoke of being at the school
room some time before each daily
session should begin and after it
closes and put in more time than
you are paid for.
A. j. Wilkinson consumed the
remainder of the time till recess
in his own inimitable way. He
knows the way to attract an audi
ence and hold it. He had the aud
ience whenever he spoke. He rep
resents the American Book COM
pany of Cincinnati, O.
After recess Prin. J. D. Garri-
son read an interesting paper on
"Thinking and Learning to
Think" Among other good
things which he spoke about,
he said the first step necessary to
make pupil think is to give him
something to think about. Time
spent on the best way of impart-
ing the knowledge we already pos
sess would certainly have a most
excellent effect upon our method
of instruction, and would greatly
increase our skill in teaching.
Nothing discOurages boy so soon
as to have him believe there is
nothing for him to do, nothing
that he can accomplish or con-
quer on his own account. Give
him all the work he can do: he
finds genuine delight in thinking
Of that which is difficult. The most
popular teacher is not the one
who removes every difficulty from
the pathway Of the student, but
he who encOura ges the boy to be
Sef-reliant. and leads him to a
sense Of mastery over his Difficult
ties.
DR.. Swartz next discussed the
subject Of "IrOn.' He told that
iron gave sandstone and limestone
their color. That iron was formed
in a natural manner, by degrees
as coal was. He described Smelt-
ing: the furnaces. how they were
built, and how they were oper-
ated: the principles involved in
the process. etc. He stated that
the iron age was an old age, while
the steel age was not yet twenty
five years old. He told the teach,
ers that pudding iron was stirring
It while in the hot furnace to LET
the air mix its oxygen, thereby
purifying it. AS he passed along
he touched the subject of foot
ball, and talked long enough about
it to let lis know that he was ar
enthusiastic supporter OF it. He
gave Bessemer great praise fol
what he did for mankind. and saiC
that he had forced steel dOwr
from % cents per pound to l cent
a pound. He also gave Faraday
great praise in his many dis
coveries in electrical science, ever
detracting from the fame OF
Morse and Edison to do so. The
writer thinks he who shows man
kind how to utilize a scientific
truth does equally as well as he
who discovered the said truth.
