The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-10-31

led by Miss Emma Wait, of
Athens, met In the Auditorium of
the Presbyterian.
The School Music Conference
led by Mrs. Lawrence Yerges, of
Logan, met in the parlors of the
Presbyterian church.
These conference as outlined by
the herewith published program,
were most interesting indeed, and
brought out many heart to heart
talks by the teachers. The ex-
change of experience in the work
of each department was most in
teresting and most helpful.
On Friday evening at the Pres
byterian Church, after the invoca-
tion by Rev. T. B. White, and a
most delightful musical program,
DR.. Geo. f. Vincent, of Chicago
University, addressed the associa-
tion and the assembled citizens on
"Education and Efficiency"
Such a subject would seem very
broad, and it Is, but for one to
have listened to DIR. Vincent In his
rapid resourceful discourse of the
subject, would wonder if else
could be said on the subject, and
the hour and one half of his flow
of eloquence dotted with zeal hu-
NOR, was as of few moments.
DR.. Vincent certainly said some
things on his subject, and if his
hearers could have carried away
with them one percent of the good
things that poured out to them,
they could be yet and for years
reveling in the delight of good,
wholesome food for thought. 1t
was good to be there. His every
sentence was a gem and certainly
worth remembering. The associa-
tion met again Saturday morning
at s 80 o'clock, and it was expect
ed that many more teachers would
be in attendance Saturday morn
ing, and the best strength of as
sociation showed only about half
the membership, perhaps due to
the diphtheria infection here.
The invocation was pronounced
by Rev. Willis, and a most ex-
cellent musical program wrs rem
dered by Logan ladies. Prof.
Elson, of the Ohio University,
spoke on "Rambles in Literature,
and his lecture was most befitting
and most pleasing. He is an elo-
quent and forceful speaker. DIR.
Vincent was also on the Saturday
morning program and gave most
learned and instructive talk on
"The New Duty of the School,"
During this session officers were
elected for the ensuing year. The
following resulted;
President-H. T. Silverthorne,
of Logan.
Secretary-Miss Helen Mills, of
Pomeroy,

son, H. f. Conrad, Gallipolis, H.
