Today ends the largest and best in
stitute held in Durango. All the
teachers were interested, and in addi-
tion to obtaining many things which
might be valuable in the school room,
they have had good time. Last
ey enng an entertainment was giN,:.
Music, songs, Rotations and a did,

but always to be blessed" was given
by the teachers themselves.
Today's session began with n little
talk on Federation" by Mrs. Bell.
We should realize that the other fell
low has a right to his views. II we
do not agree with others, we may
be the ones in the wrong. A fable
well illustrates this. Six Hindoos
were examining an elephant. The
one noting the sides said it was like
a wall; one examining tusks said the
elephant was like a spear; the third
standing by the knee said the ele-
| plant was like a tree; another look
| ing at the ear said the elephant was
| like a fan. The last, seeing the tail
said the elephant was like a rope.
Each were partly right and all were
wrong.
In the lecture on practical peda.
gogy the discussion of proper incen-
tives to study was very helpful. The
subject of prizes showed that ma.
terial prizes were not the kind to
offer. An appeal must be made to
the inner condition of the child. The
subject of grades and report cards
took up some time. Mrs. Cozine spoke
