rural schools and the training of

After Mrs. Yerges's drill in
school songs, Prof. Richardson
gave talk on History Sup
plemented by Art and Literature. "
According to the program, Prof.
Richardson was to have two
periods Thursday morning, one on
the aforementioned subject and
one on "Refex Action" but, he
thinking that Hooking County's
teachers had enough knowledge
of Reflex Action, asked per
mission to use the latter period in
the continuance of the former
subject, and vote on the ques-
tion unanimously awarded him
tie period, which was we'll used;
judging from the applause Prof.
Richardson received.
After Prof. Richardson first
period, Prof. Martzolff had half
hour on "The Scientific Basis of
Temperance Teaching" on which
subject Prof Martzolff delighted to
talk, he being enthusiastic on
Temperance.
After an intermission lastin g
for ten minutes, Prof. Richardson
was given his second period of
thirty minutes ON History.
After Prof. Richardson had
finished his talk, Prof. Msrtzolff
lectured on Orthography for
half hour,
The last hour before noon re-
cess, was taken up by Prof. Price
in the solutions and explanations
to list of problems given out on
Wednesday. Several teachers
took part in solving these problems,
but Prof. Price could give short
cut to all or nearly all of them.
After Prof. Prices's problems
had all been worked out to the
satisfaction of all present, ad
tournament was taken till l P. M.
Promptly at l O'Clock Mrs. Yerges
took up the subject of Patriotic
Songs and they were sung with
enthusiasm by all present, In
Guiding also those who "Can't
Sing" Mrs. Yerges demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all present
that any could sing some, even If
only few words of song which
Is well known to them.
From 80 to 300 o'clock Prof.
Price spoke on Topography" in
the higher grades of the Public
School and rendered very good
lecture and explanation on this
subject.
Sentence Analysis" was discuss
ed for half hour by Prof. Richard
son, who is a fine Grammarian
and an excellent talker. He
being practiclng lawyer and used
to speaking gives him fine de-
livery and an easy grace before an
audience which makes the greater
part of the speaker, as regards
e'ocution.
After a short intermission, Prof.
Martzoltf gave good lecture on
Henry David Thorean. His anec-
dotes and incidents from Thorean's g
life kept his hears in state of en-
joyment all through his talk,
while thread of the service kept
their attention to this part of his
life and work. All in all, it was
a fine production from Prof. Mart
zolff's mind, which, by the way, is
one of the best in this part of the
State. We were dismissed after
Prof. Martzolff's talk until Friday
The last day of the Institute
dawned with fine rain falling,
which spoiled the project which
had been in the minds of the
teachers, that of having a photo
graph taken of those who have
been attending the Institute.
