A Shocking Accident

Monday forenoon of last week
Luther Farris accidentally shot ano
killed his little sister, Mabel Marie,
at their home five miles northeast
of Brookfeld. Luther, who is fif-
teen years old, stayed at home
Monday to assist his mother, who
was sick. After helping as much
as he could with the housework,
the boy, who is the Oldest of the
family of six children, undertook
to amuse Mabel, two years of age,
his only sister and the pet of the
whole family.
Taking down the shotgun, which
was usually empty, Luther pulled
back the hammer and told Mabel
to come and pull the trigger. AS
the little one was afraid to do that,
her brother playfully told her that
he would shoot her, arf', lifting
the action to the threat, he pointed
the muzzle at Mabel's face, when,
to his horror, the gun went off.
The shot took effect in the side of
the head and death was practically
instantaneous.
The funeral, conducted by Rev.
R. E. L. Prunty, was held at Len
hart chapel Tuesday afternoon and
was largely attended by relatives
and friends, who deeply sympathize
with the grief stricken family

Some Evening Reyeries.

Tor the most part come from in
iquitous homes, from undisciplinet
homes. Parents harsh and crue
on the one hand, or on the other
hand, loose in their government
,, wickedly loose in their government
1 are raising up generation of
vipers. A home where scolding
and fretfulness are dominated is
blood relation to the gallows and
the Jail. Petulence is a serpent
that crawls up in the family nurse
ry sometimes and crushes every
thing. Why, there are parents
who even make religion disgusting
to their children. They scold them
for not putting in all their leisure
time at church or some church
gathering. They have an exasper-
ating way of doing their duty. The
house is full Of the warwhoop of
contention, and from such a place
husband and son 60 out to die.
The world grows old, and the stars
will cease to illuminate it, and the
waters to refresh it, and the noun
tains to guard it, and it's long story
OF sin and shame and glory and
triumph will soon turn to ashes: |
but influences which started in the
early home roll on and roll up
through all eternity blooming in all
the joy, waving in all the triumph,
or shrinking back into all the dark
ness. Father, mother, which way
are you leading your children?
Truly, marriage, fashionably
considered, is as far from marriage
humanity Or divinely considered
as it is possible for burlesque to
be from an original. It is the
union of two persons-body, mind
und soui--for life,4a for better, for
worse, for richer, for poorer" In
burlesque, it is an arrangement by
which two persons appear to the
world as one, sit together at the I,
table, occupy the same rooms, have
their names on the same cards, sit
in the same pew and opera box,
but beneath which they hide a great s
deal of incongruity, and behind {
which they lead separate lives. In
the original it is connection which !
forms the basis of a home; in the 9
burlesque, it is connection which
furnishes the pretext for keeping ,
up an establishment. In the origi-
lal, it suggests quiet, freside Oc-
domestic tastes, books, l
ak, reading, cosy rooms, comfort .
lble easy chairs, affectionate conf I
lence between man and woman,

DR.. SCHURMAN TALKS ON
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS

AT the morning session of the conven-
ton Tuesday Dr. Jacob G. Schurman
spoke on Educational Changes and Prog
ress." In his opening sentences he de-
clared that all that has been accom-
plished by modern education in the pro-
duction of literally cultured men had been
accomplished by the Greeks generations
ago. and further. that the present-day
achievements in fine arts and culture
do not excel that of the ancient Greeks.
OF the Greek girl. Professor Schurman
did not speak so favorably, saying she
was not given the opportunity to advance
herself, nor was the Greek man of poor
birth.
President Schurman also referred to the
changes which have been made in the
methods of teaching in recent years. He
declared that the present-day educators
neglect the proper cultivation of the MEM
DRY, and also the training which is de-
rived through committing to memory good
poems.
In conclusion. President Schurman said
that it was the aim of the schools 10
give back to society men and women
who would be fitted for the highest places
in the service of the world in any line
that they may choose to follow.

KINDERGARTEN AND
OTHER DEPARTMENTS

The kindergarten department was an
other well attended meeting. the main
attraction being a splendid paper by Miss
Mary Fox ON The Relation of the Kin
dergarten to 1.-THE Primary Work" Miss
Fox took up the main Froebel ideas and
showed how. one after another. as the
educational theories grew. they have been
adapted to the needs of higher educa-
ton She showed in a careful study of
the presentation of various subjects how
the line of work is the same through
ont and convinced her hearers of the alb
solute continuity of thought extending
from the kindergarten to the grades.
Miss Rose Jones of Logan presided at
the meeting and. following Miss Fox, Mrs.
Ida s. Dusenberry of Provo spoke briefly
on needed changes in educational law.
Mrs. Dusenberry was elected chairman
of the section and Miss Caroline Scholes
secretary.
The music section held an interesting
meeting in the gymnasium assembly
room, when a number of topics reia tin 9
to the teaching of music were discussed.
The program was of such length that
the section was obliged TO close with
out finishing the progrem, but a lecture
on niusic and a class demonstration by
Professor WetZell were enjoyed by the
music teachers.
The arts section was rather poorly at
tended, but some interesting subjects in
regard to the teaching of art in the pull
lie schools were presented. a. B. Wright
of Logan was elected chairman of this
section and B. w. Ashton secretary.

Cleveland Leader.)

t0ieNtlanu LEADER
Nine. Geoffrin, like most French wom-
en-, had the gift of making phrases. When
Rulhiere- had read in her salon work
upon Russia, which she feared might in
volve him in difficulties, she offered him
a sum of money to burn il. The author
waxed wroth at the insinuation implied,
and broke out into an eloquent assertion
of his courage and independence. She
listened patiently, and then, in a quiet
tone of voice, said:
How much more do you want. NJ. Rul-
here?'
She married. at the age of IA. NJ Geof-
frin, a wealthy glass manufacturer and
lieutenant colonel of the national guard.
His duty as husband seems to have been
to provide the funds for her social cam

The speaker referred to the strength
and power of a teachers personality and
said that the more powerful IL was the
more should a teacher guard against de-
pending too much on its influence
The child must leave your influence
some time. You cannot swim hfe's cur
rent with him, and il must be that the
strong hand be not held too long in place
lest he have no power of his own.
In referring to the correction of faults,
Mrs Miner said the teacher should, IN
all reverence take the attitude of Christ
toward the sinner, taking the sin by the
throat but the sinner by the hand, She
held that the teacher. despite all that
she might find necessary TO do TO cor
rect an evil. must let the child feel that
he or she IS none the less dear or pre-
ciOus to the real teacher.
The whole art of teaching, she said.
consists OF two things-the personality
of the teacher. and the ability of that
teacher. through that personality, TO
touch for good every individual under
her charge"
In addition to Mrs Miners talk, the
routine business of electing officers for
the next year was transacted. Miss Rosa
lie Pollock. who presided at the meet
ing, being reelected chairman. and Miss
Frances Wood elected secretary.
A chorus of boys and girls, led by Mir.
WetZell, furnished some fine music.
