DISCUSSION ON THE
TEACHERS INSTITUTE
interesting Facts and instructive Hints on
This Important Work
BY REV. JAMES F. PRICE

A profitable discussion on each
subject on the program ought to en-
brace:
l. Its importance.
2. Its purpose, or why.
3. Its time, or when.
1. Its method, or how.
No truth is more apparent in edu-
cation than this: If teacher does
not clearly understand mot remem-
ber) why he is doing any work in
hand, his work will be lifeless his
method will be borrowed, not origi-
mated.
THE PURPOSE OF EACH STUDY.
That the why of school studies is
not understood as it should be by
teachers generally can be demonstra-
ted to any observer in two ways.
First, let him ask himself to tell
himself without hating why reading,
writing, arithmetic, geography, etc,
compose the curriculum. He will
have to confess that his self exami-
nation has proved that his knowledge
is not what it should be. Second,
let him take the opinion in writing
or otherwise of several teachers upon
the relative importance of arithmetic
and geography. The result may ex-
hibit a choas that We ought all to be
ashamed of.

ing but the letter, prim and square. He was dogged also by the words of the cablegram. He rode hard, and the phrase Don't read my letter" fitted itself to the refrain of his pony's hoofs
 Finally, jealousy, which has driven better men than Cliffe to rheanness, got the upper hand. He had been in bed, ten days after the receipt of the letter for an hour. He had kept strong lamp burning in the hot room to keep the words from dancing on the wall. He had even gone so far as to take a sleeping draft Sleep wouldn't come. The light had no power against the cursed words, and at last, lash ing himself into fever, he sprang out of bed, strode into his living-room, flung up the lid of the chest and

Railroad Rate Bill Tn senate-state-
 hood Measure In House.
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-The rail- road rate bill occupied practically all of the time of the senate. There were two speeches, one by Mir. Lodge and the other by Mir. Spooner. Mir. Lodge spoke in advocacy of his amendment looking to the enlargement of the in- terstate commerce commission and in doing so replied sharply to some re- cent utterances by Commissioner Prouty.
 Referring to an interview by the com. missioner, Mir. Lodge spoke first of an utterance by Eugene Debs and then said that it was not capable of doing so much harm as Mir. Prouty's state ment. He outlined New England's at. titude toward the rate bill and said that with the mileage system est>b. lished all the manufactures in the NSw England states would be destroyed.
 The statehood bill was taken from the speakers table in the house, placed in the hands of three selected conferees and request made of the senate for conference on the disagreeing votes of the two houses.
 The features of the debate were re- marks by J. Adam Bede (Minn.), dur. ing which he told Of his approval of the president, particularly because he had given his daughter in marriage to a member of the house of representa- lives and not to degenerate prince or to a representative of ''that house of detention at the other end of the capi' tol.-
 Mir. Dalzell Pa) championed the special rule. and MT. Williams, the mi. norlty leader, suggested that Republic ans would need the special prayer of the chaplain after they had made their record on statehood.
 Mir. Hardwick (Gal found himself opposed by members of both sides of the chamber in his endeavor to restrict the White House appropriation so as to eliminate a social secretary for the wife of the president.

 Educational Reforms.

 LONDON, March 23.-Irlsh educa- tional grievances was the subject of a long debate last night in the house of commons. The Irish members declared that the existing system is deplorable and that Ireland never will rest until she obtains a university representing the interests of the Catholic majority.
 George wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland in the Balfour cabinet. also spoke strongly in favor of reform, de- claring that If Ireland were given the same facilities for education as Eng. land old feuds would be appeased.
 James Bryce. the new chief secre- tary for Ireland, on behalf of the gov. ernment made a concIliatory speech. admitting the existence of the griev. ances. He said the government had not had time to formulate a policy. but the matter had his constant attention. and he did not despair of finding a scheme of reconciling the conflicting interests. The government. he added. also was considering a scheme to pro mote the study of the Gaelic language

caught hold of the letter. and returned with it, stumbling against the table, to his bedroom
 Even at that moment. with all his grip and self-control at a loose end, method did not desert him. He opened the envelope with penknife.
 He read the letter standing:
 T am never coming back. 1 find that do not love you. I love some one else. We are going 10 do what far better people have done before. and go away together. You have been very good to me.

could not tolerate fabby-mindedness. He gave no other woman thought. It was impossible for him to under stand the necessity of his wife's ever giving a thought to any other man.
 He worked to the best of his power, and he loved to do the best in his pow CT, and he thanked Heaven daily for his work and for his wife.
 He was just and sympathetic man. He was thenkind of man who caryes a niche for Mmself in history. but he had the greatest contempt for senti- mentality, and no patience with neu. roticism. He divided men and women into two classes. good and bad. The former, when they came into his work or his life. he looked upon as part of the great machine working to one end The latter he waved aside. He culti- vated wide optimism. wholesome belief in honesty. faith, truth and friendship. Deep down in his nature. however, there ran curious vein of cynicism.
 He stood for an hour looking at the letter. His dinner was brought in; his servants stood ready to serve it. He ignored the fact. His whole mind was concentrated on the letter. Why was he not to read it? If 1t contained something his wife was ashamed of, why had she written it, in the first place? If 1t contained something in- tended to give him pain, why. at the last moment. had she telegraphed to prevent his feeling It,
 Extreme annoyance at being trified with was all he felt for the first hour. It was merely some foolishness on his wife's part. some extravagance. some act of sentimentality, he argued. But presently the cynic in him began to make grimaces. and all sorts of low and horrid thoughts capered through his brain.
 He ordered the motionless servants out of the room Ills indomitable self restraint left him. That most mali eious demon. Jealousy. walked arm in arm with him up and down the room for hours. But the temptation to open the letter was vithstood.
 At two in the morning he went to bed. worn out, sick of himself. sick of everything. The letter remained unopened. against the face of the clock. If this man had had no jezl- ousv i'm his nature. he would have been. as men go, what is called . fine fellow.

of smile at the corners of his mouth. The lines of it mixed queerly with the lines of pain and rage that his horrid nights had left behind.
 He spent the morning tidying and arranging the furniture in the living room and the bedrooms. He then put on his newest clothes. and placed the opened letter and cablegram side by side against the clock.
 Milly Cliffe did not find him eagerly waiting for her at the gate, as she half hoped she might.
 When she entered the living-room he was standing, with the veins swelling on his temples, in front of the mantel- board. She came forward with both hands outstretched.
 Without a word. he pointed to the letter. With her hands to her lips, Mrs. Cliffe stopped short. For many minutes neither spoke.
 The coolies brought in her trunks with some noise. A dog parked joy fully. Cliffe waited for silence.
 "why have you come!" he asked.
 "It was not honorable of you to read my letter."
 Cline laughed. T don't think we will enter into a discussion about hon. or. am interested to know why you have come"
 At the last moment I thought of you alone"
 'I hate sentimentality,f said Cliffe. "your people would have got used to the new arrangement in time. no doubt. The world is no longer squeam- ish on such points. As you say. far better people have done it before"
 He had said all this without looking at her. sneeringly. But when he turned and found her. with her hands clenched and her eyes filled. he suddenly broke down like a schoolboy.
 Forgive me" he cried. forgive me. I have been in hell. I love you as no other man ever loved . woman on earth. I am hurt most horribly. but you've come back. and 90 nothing mat ters. Forgive me"
 "It is I who must beg forgiveness she cried. as he folded her in his arms.

tcopyrisns. isos, by Joseph 3. Bovsls.,

Cliffe played polo as he played every other game-the game of life included -strenuously, bull.headedly, sparing himself nothing.
 In the living.room of his bungalow he found letter and cable. The let ter, in his wife's large, rather care less writing. sent warm glow through him. He pognced upon 1t eagerly, held it in front of him for a moment, and then, with a smile, sagely decided to read the cable first The letter should serve as the olives.
 He lit a pipe, flung stinsing oath at the sleepy punkah-wallah. crossed to the mantelboard. on which a row of candles burned, and carefully opened the envelope of the cable with 8 penknife.
 It was dated from London. and ran as follows:
 Don't read my letter. Sailing to- day.-Milly."
 He read it two or three times. Was fl a joke? It commended itself as an expensive one for the wife of a minor commissioner.
 "'Don't read my letter Millie all over. by love, What letter? Not"
 His eyes fell upon the one he was holding. The one he was saving. The one that was to serve as the olives.
 Don't read my letter Why notT' he asked aloud. as though his wife were fin the room. What do you mean? This Is the first I've had from YOU for three malls. and you promised before you went home never to miss writing.

PARAMOUNT, w. Va, March B. An explosion of gas in the mine of the Century Coal company at Century, q small mining town fifty miles south of here on the Philipp and Buckhannon branch of the Baltimore and Ohio, has sntombed at least 25O miners, many of whom are believed to be dead.
 Twenty-seyen have been taken from the mine, fifteen of whom are dead and the others terribly injured
 The main heading has been cleared, but there are fourteen subheadings yet to be explored. It is feared that none of the men still In the mine is alive, having been killed in the subheadings. The mine is not seriously damaged by the explosion except that the brattices have been blown out.
 The giant fan which furnishes air for the shaft was partially wrecked by the force of the explosion, but was re- paired immediately, and within an hour after the accident Superintendent Ward had relief gang in the mine. The first trip they brought out ten men, five dead and five badly burned. Four more bodies were found in a heading, and twenty injured pen who were making their way toward the bottom of the shaft were brought to the surface by the rescuers.
 Owing to the prevalence of gas noth- ing can be done at present to help those not yet reached.
 Following the explosion relief trains were run from Buckhannon and Phil ippi taking physicians to the scene. These have not returned, and until they do little in detail will be learned of the accident. .... The cause of the explosion is not known at this time. .... ..
