The afternoon lectures will be given

Hinman will repeat, by request, the

J. r. McAnelly, superintendent of
the Lime Springs schools, treats sub
ject of vital Importance, namely,
Growth" He will speak on future
demands upon the teacher, contrast
school keepers and school teachers,
teachers growing and teachers in the
rut, and point out upon what the
growth of the pupil depends. Supt.
NcAnelly's experience as teacher at
Defiance and the Normal school at
Denison, will enable him to speak with
authority on this important subject.
The first evening lecture, enter
pretive Reading" and readings by
Supt. Robt. Rienow, of the Elkader
schools, will be given in the Method
ist church July 49,. The second even
ing lecture, 1.-THE Blood of the Nation
by Supt. E. c. Roberts, will be given
in the Congregational church July 18.
E. G. Roberts, alumnus of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin and superinten-
dent OF the Cresco schools, is special
ist in history. Under his treatment
the subject is not compilation OF un-
related facts, but study of causes and
their effects. Mr.. Roberts draws
aside the curtain between present and
past. We look behind the scenes and
see the beginning, growth and culmi-
nation of the great world movements,
which interpret the present and prope-
nv tho f,,&,,rn u;s <ro;p;ncp xpoe - don
Prot. Frederick Turner, probably the
ablest worker in the field of American
history at the present time.
In his afternoon lectures Mr.. Roberts
will deal with the great transitional
period from l820-1830. This was the
time when our constitution was tried
in the crucible of sectional jealousy
and distrust. It was the period of our
constitutional giants Clay, Webster,
Calhoun and Andrew Jackson-the
period when New England started her
factories. The south finding slavery
profitable, extended her acres of cot
ton and tobacco and the west develop
ed with leaps and bounds. This was
the critical period of the constitution.
Mr.. Roberts will deal with some of the
new problems of growing, expanding
America. The student teachers, pu-
pills of the high school and all inter-
ested in the signs of the. times will find.
in these lectures most fascinating
study.
Supt. Rienow is q graduate of Wis
consin University. He taught rhetoric
and oratory for years in the White
water, Wisconsin, Normal. He studied
under Wisconsin, s'Grand Old Man, !"
Prof. David Frankenburger, and i'm
bibed his love for beautiful, clear-cut
well modulated English. Supt. Rie-
now has trained some of his high school
boys and girls into state contest win
ners in oratory. Elkader won the
state contest last spring.
Supt. Rienow has boundless enthu-
siasm, sympathy for his pupils, and
love for his work. His manner on the
platform is natural, his voice is clear
and perfectly trained and his thought
brings a message to all He is an
Apostle Of the spoken word" He be-
lieves in reading as the basis of all
education and his lectures will be an
inspiration to all interested in this, the
finest of fine arts.
The course of free lectures is entire
~ beyond the reach OF the institute
fund, and would be impossible were it
not for the generosity and loyal home
spirit of the men who are to speak.
We most cordially invite general at
tendance at both afternoon and even
ing lectures.
