ture on English at the first hour Of
the afternoon session of the teachers
institute. The lecturer spoke on "The
Laws and Growth of Our Language 4"
mo person." said the professor
"can make language. No one is
| making ours. The teacher is merely
the conservator of n language and IF
she be the conservator, she must know
the laws. Language is made by the
common people, and not until the
common people, as n whole. feel the
need Of q new word, is n new word
| coined. Therefore, language obeys
| the law of need.
Second, language obeys the laws OF
| temperament Take the French peo-
| pie, for example. quick, impulsive,
and diplomatic; their language is like
| the people. As another example, the
| German people are slow. calculating
| and logical. The German language
| Is a slow and cumbersome language.
| The English are more cosmopolitan,
| broad, progressive; and we find the
| English language the most complex
| all the simple languages he
cause It grows and progresses as do
] the people.
! Language obeys the laws of imi-
| tation. We are very initiative peo-
| pie, therefore is the language of our
| people. Language also obeys the
| laws of dominant force that operate
| on IL, also the laws of economy; of
| clearness and formality, therefore,
we see that many are the things that
! influence our languages, and the
| greatest of these Is need.
'Ts IL not due a. teacher then TO use
the best of language and make a good
choice in the use of words? She will
| truly be initiated by her pupils. to
such an extent that her language will
eventually become theirs"
Miss Iva Coil delighted her audi
ence, after the afternoon intermis-
| sion with a well delivered vocal SOLO
Miss Coil has splendid and pleas
ing voice and her selection was re-
ceived with applause.
Prof Coughlin occupied the second
hour of the afternoon with his ad-
dress on Habit and Education" He
spoke of the power of habit when
once 1t takes its hold upon a man.
Man, in fact, is bundle of habits,
so many of the things he does are
done unconsciously. 1t should, there
fore, be the effort and desire of the
teacher to form and encourage child
in useful and healthful habits. A
child should be taught the value of
the truthful habit. punctuality, and
those essential things that make the
good and great character.

est by the teachers. He told of the
results which may be obtained If one
desires to thrill himself in feats of
memory. 1t is essential that the
memory be fully developed and this
