Tuesday Morning

Devotional exercises Tuesday morn

The music was in charge of Mrs.
Iva Sproule Baker
Supt Borden of fFredericktown spoke
of the Reading Circle books for the
year, urging all teachers to study at
least one, If not all, Of the books of
the course. Mr.. G. G. Harris of Mt.
Vernon was elected secretary of the
Reading Circle for the coming year
Prof. Barbour then talked on THE
Problem in Teaching English Compo-
sition." He said that the problem in
all grades and with all ages of pupils
Is to get the pupil to carry into his
written work the same freedom, spon-
taneity and animation that he uses in
talking. In order to accomplish this
child must be assigned a subject
about which he knows something, and
one in which he is interested. Add
ed to this the teacher must be sym
pathetic and kindly critic.
The second address of the afternoon
was entitled school Disciplines" and
was given by Supt Coughlin. Gov
ernment, management and discipline,
he said, are not the same. Govern
ment requires tact and power to see
ment requirestact and a power to see
and meet difficulties before they come.
Discipline means more than either
government or management 1t re-
quires the power of leadership and the
ability to change the spirit of school.
A teacher who can discipline school
we'll needs a strong personality. The
elements that make strong person
atty are scholarship, clear and con
else thinking, a profound sense of JUS
tice, decision OF character sympathy

INCREASING
Interest Attaching To Teach
eTS' Institute
Aud Much Benefit Derived
From instruction

The Monday afternoon session of
the Knox County Teachers institute
was opened by singing America" by
the audience, after which Mrs. Iva
Sproule Baker sang pretty solo.
Supt. Coughlin's subject for the af-
ternoon was Means and Ends in Ed
ucation." The ends OF education, he
said, must first be determined and
this is not easy to do. He reviewed
the various definitions of the ends of
education as given by many great
thinkers and educators of the past.
The great aim or end of education
should be to fit the pupil for the physi-
cal and social environment Of the
time, he said After deciding the ends
of education then it must be deter
mined what are the best means under
the conditions to lead to these ends.
This requires careful thought in order
that the best possible means may be
selected.
Prof. Barbour's talk was on "Teach-
ing of English Grammar" He said
that there is nothing in education that
can take the place of grammar. There
are three important reasons why the
study of grammar is so necessary:
DIT is disciplinary, being element
airy logic; (2)-it is an aid to the in
depreciation of literature; CIT is
an indirect but positive aid in the
expression of thought. In finishing,
Mr. Barbour made plea for the re-
storation of a systematic training in
grammar through the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades of the schools.

The Ohio Blind Commission, Great
ed by an act of the General Assembly,

Cured. The leg has been kept still
and rigid on the bed, only disturbed
for examination and dressing. The
fracture occurred some time between
Thu sday and Friday morning be
tween the visits of DR., Campbell, who
discovered the diseased leg had short
ened two inches.
Stuckey experiences no pain from
the limb, but realizes that the process
OF recovery will be exceedingly long
The bones have separated in the up
