Reception at l. l. c.

One OF the largest and most
enjoyable receptions ever given
at Lexington College was the
one Monday evening. Some
fifty young men from town and
the academy responded to the
invitations to meet the teachers
and young ladies of the college.
The young ladies seemed more at
tractive, the refreshments more
abundant and delicious and the
hOurs-eight to eleven-more
generous than ever. Smiths Or
chestra played.
Everyone present had good
time, except one young man
who found someone else monOpo-
lizing the attentions of a GER
tain young lady.

WON TWO GAMES
Wentworth First Team Defeated
0steopaths and End Trim
med Odessa.

Monday was a good day for
Wentworth football. The sec
ond team in a game at the acad-
enay campus took on Odessa, Civ
ing the visitors the short end of
a 81 to 0 score. The 0dessans
were large, but slow and inexper-
fenced. They could not charge
and their only way of gaining
was by the old-fashiOned line
buck in which every member
on the team helped. The of
fieials kindly overlooked this
point, Bruce, Johansen, Askew
and Stoops starred for the cadets.
Meanwhile the first team was
winning one of the principal
games Of the season at Kinks
vile from the Osteopaths. Ris-
tines clan nosed out the big bone
doctors by a score Of IS to Is.
Wentworth, it seems, has now
the right to claim the prepara-
tory championship of Missouri
and if Topeka is put away safely
on thanksgiving, of the south
west. Ristine has surprised ev-
erybody by the way he has de-
veloped the most unpromising
material Wentworth has had
for years.

Miners win Demand Higher WAGE.

Miners viii Demand Higher Wage.
The coal miners throughout the
United States are preparing TO reopen
the question of wages after Jan. %. A
demand for increased pay is expected.
II may cause marked increase in the
present prices of coal.
The miners declare that they need
higher wages because OF the increased
cost OF living. This stand Is part OF the
general movement OF organized labor
begun by the switchmen and railroad
brotherhoods The movement has al
ready spread TO practically all the
branches OF railroad labor.
1T is true that the mine workers

When coal which costs $3.50 a ton
in the United States can be bought for

Wednesday Morning

The opening exercises at this ses-
sion, consisting OF scripture reading
and prayer, were in charge of Supt,
Borden of Fredericktown.
Prof. Barbour continued his talk OF
reading. Advanced Reading" was
his topic He stated that the elements
to be given attention in securing good
oral reading are pitch or force, en-
phasis, infection, time and quality of
voice. Prof. Barbour gave several
readings illustrating what is meant by
each of these elements and showing
the Importance of each to good oral
reading. He said that the teacher
should strive to get the child to enter
into the spirit of the selection he Is
reading and then these elements will
enter naturally into his reading.
Supt, Coughlin, whose talk was on
"How to Study" said that the teach
er in helping pupils to study, should
lead them to observe, to compare and
to analyze. If they are familiar With
the scenes of nature and all the out,
door world, much of their work in
school can be connected with the act
ual world outside and the study made
real to them They can compare what
they read in their books with what
they already know and in this way
see real things rather than symbols
in their lessons. A pupil should al
ways be taught to see subject in
its parts and thus become master of
the whole.

Against Wife
In A Proceeding Instituted
For Divorce
Says He Was Assaulted And
Forced To Leave
Prof A. |. Murry Is Appointed
Teachers Examiner
Other Items OF Interest From

Charles B. Cochran has commenced
suit in common pleas court against
Ursula Cochran, praying for divorce,
custody of minor children, accounting,
alimony and general equitable relief,
and for injunction to prevent the de-
fendant from selling or incumbering
her property. They were married in

PROBLEM
In Teaching Reading Is To
Awaken
In ChiId'S Mind As Much In
tereSt
As He Has Shown In Learning
To Talk
Inc PlaCe III MdthematlCS In
The Curriculum
Other Subjects Discussed At
Teachers Institute

Singing by the audience opened
Tuesday afternoons session of the
Knox County Teachers association in
stitute at the high school.
Prof. Barbour's subject was, "Prim-
ary Reading" In substance his re-
marks were as follows: The great
problem in teaching reading is to
awaken in the child's mind as much
interest in learning to read as he has
already shown in learning to talk (He
discussed the various methods in
teaching reading.) The sentence
method cultivates rapid motion Of
the eye and secures natural express
sion in reading at the start. Sentenc-
es containing action words should be
given first. The word-method is also
employed with good results by as
sociating the word with the object
named. In the phonic method the
sounds of the vowels and consonants
are taught. In this way child may
be able to pronounce quickly and ac-
curately many words not known by
sight. The phonic method should not
be used until the pupil has been in
school some little time. At the end
of the first year pupil should be able
to read without hesitation and with
natural expression and should be able
to use the vocabulary found in his
reading lesson.
Supt COughlin gave very interest
ing talk on "The Pedagogy of Arith-
metic." He said that the place of
mathematics in the curriculum with
regard to other studies should be de-
cided first. He thought it should be
a minor study in the lower grades,
increasing in Importance each year,
being a major study in the higher
grades. The reason for this being
that younger children have greater
memory power while older ones have
greater reasoning power. AS arith-
metic is thought study it should
come later than the memory studies.
The greatest difficulty child has in
the progress of arithmetic Is to un-
derstand the language Of mathemat-
les. More attention should be given
to the Interpretation of the words and
symbols used. Study of mathematics
should give alertness of the mind
with the power to act quickly.
