elm view of all this grandeur sunk
to oblivion, in view of what the Old
World has achieved snd has been, we
ask ourselves will America go? VIII
America reach the pinnacle of her
glory and fall? VIII Marion, our own
beautifu' town, and home go? The
view of Prof. O'Shea is pessimistic
If education Is continued in America
said the speaker, as 1t is today, this
country will go, disintigration is alb.
solutely unavoidable.
"We must educate to meet the
crisis, for as luxury increases, the
crisis approaches. We are becoming
richer, greater, grander, but the crisis
approaches. Are we educating tc
bridge It? Are We appreciating our.
selves?
Education ought to nj one to pul

he is a parasite and he must decay
If our country fails to pull its oar
it Is parasite and decays.

been studying how to resist this de-
cay, Germany now teaches the great.

and Germany is coming to the front
She will soon lead the European ma.
tions, because of her education.
"And what is the trouble with the
American schools They are TOO me-
dieval, too formal; they adhere toe
closely to forms, medieval form. The
traditional system must be dropped
The community becomes more closely
allied with the school work. The
schools must come to appreciate the
demand of commercial life.

ton The children must learn OF
these evils in the school and they
must be prepared to meet and con-
uuer them The danger of our
schools is, that they are not kept up
to date.
awe must have a larger view, We
must be interested not only in the
education of Marion but of all Amer
lea. We must educate to meet the
ineffable hour, to NEE; the crisis,

WEDNESDAY A. M

The institute opened this morning
with Il song by the school and Rev.
Bailey leading in devotional eXer'
cises. Rev. Bailey talked some on
temperance work and asked the
teachers to have Judge Bl3ir, OF
Portsmouth, who will be in the city,
TO address them on the teacher S
share in the great movement, Friday
morning. Prof Albert's lecture ON
Geography" was very practical as
well as instructive in that he h9d a
large collection of speciments used
in his classes to vitalize the subjects
learned. Prof. Albert believes firm
ly in the text boohs but does not
care for formal study of the book
from lid to lid. f'Have the child
understand" he said. "the life OF the
world In relation to his own life.
BY objects and types Of industry
shown in class he would make the
child leave the class eager to hnd
more on the subject.
Prof. Albert had large collection
to show the teachers. From some OF
these he traced the making of shoe
from the soil up, to give them an
idea of how a geography lesson can
be vitalized instead of the mere
learning of words and definitions.
Following recess, Prof. OShea held
the attention of the teachers during
one of the most interesting lectures OF
the institute. Prof. o'Shea's subject
for the hour was Form versus
Spirit in Teaching"
The speaker called the attention OF
his audience to the present condition
Of the Old World; to Rome, Naples
Florence and Venice, once the bril-
liant stars of the Old World, all that
was glorious and vigorous and beau
tiful, Now those cities exhibit only
the glory of cities that are past and
decayed, of beauty faded.
