 Natural Aptitudes of Child

Talladega, September 6.-(SpeciaL)- Increa sed interest was manifested in the congressional institute whose ses- sions are being held at the auditorium of the library. In addition to an in creased enrolment of teachers a good number of the town ladies were in at tendance.
 Superintendent Murphy discussed 9Th cory of Apperception; Miss Atkin- son. Governing Principles of Primary Work" and Professor Daugette, "Prin- cip1es of Teaching" A lively discussion engaged in by the members of the in stitute took place on the question of What is Good Order?"
 Superintendent Murphy in his talk edge the child has acquired in the home and in out of school experience the necessity of the teacher know ing the child and what he has learned in order to provide ideas that will enable him to understand the advanced lesson; the necessity of beginning all subjects with facts with which the child is familiar and proceeding by showing the relation they sustain to the new idea.
 President Daugette in his address urged better practice in our school calling for proper attention to the de- velopment of the physical and smoral natures as well as that of the mental. He claimed that teachers should set examples of physical neatness and care of person as well as of moral excel lence that can be followed by the pu- pills. In discussing mental qualified tions of the teacher and his prepara- tion he strongly stressed the needs of knowledge of methods in addition to subject matter and child nature.
 Miss Atkinson called for saner meth ods in primary teaching and insisted upon due attention to the natural apti- tudes and activities of the child. She Fcalled for a continuance of expression and also of repression.

MOBILE BI-CENTENARY

Montgomery, September 6.-(Special.)- Permanent injunction pending final ad- judication of the suit of the Doherty Operating company of New York versus the Citizens Light, Heat and Power com pany of Montgomery was issued today out of the United States court against Richard Tillis, the present alleged own CT of the citizens company. Decree of Judge Thomas G. Jones is based upon representation to the court that MT. Til- lis was aware of contracts that existed between the Doherty people and Alex Rice, former chief owner of the citizens company, for the purchase of the entire plant, the legal transference of the prop erty not being made owing to alleged i'll faith on the part of MT. Rice. The litigation is yet to be heard on the merits of this contention.
 In making of a permanent nature the temporary order of restraint which was issued out of the United States court several weeks ago, Judge Jones forbids the sale of any stock of the citizens company on the part of Tillis; restraints the voting of any stock, or the pledging of any stock Moreover, Tillis is re- strained from making any material change in the present property of the citizens company, whether of improve ment or not. The order specifically states that the property must remain statu quo.
 The whole litigation, which is being carried on along an extensive scale, is primarily conceived for the purpose of preventing an electric and gas monopoly in the city on the part of the Doherty corporation, who are also the owners of the Montgomery Light and Water power company.
