Tuesday mornings session opened at
8 o'clock with music, led by Miss Mabel
Mcdonald. After repeating the Lords
Prayer the teachers listened to DR..
| Ascham, on the subject 1.-THE Child's
Inheritance" The prophets have used
the child as symbol of the home.
Children do not inherit ideas, culture,
virtue and religion. Personality is
developed as they associate with others.
They are Unborn playwrights, drama
tizing the life of the elder around them.
Goodness hides itself, and does not ap-
peal to them as the badness in this
world. 1t must be dramatized in order
to appeal to them. How are we to get
the moral inheritance of the child2
Get rid of our own faults and the bad
literature that pOisons the minds of the
young people. Formation OF character
Is the true end ofall education. Every
thing that will make the soul of the
child nobler, should be the object of the
teacher. The teacher is the stewart of
the kingdom of God, and should see to
IL that the child gets his inheritance.
After an intermission Prof MartzoliI
gave one of his interesting history
topics, THE Relation of the States of
the Union to the Federal Government"
This was the greatest problem the gov
ernment has ever tried to solve. The
problem of government has ever been
hard one. The Civil War only settled
the secession of states. The state shall
give way to the national government,
when contest arise between the Repub-
lie and State.
During the constitutional convention |
the political parties had to compromise. |
Alexander Hamilton represented the |
anti Federalists. The people looked |
upon the government as opposed to |
them. By the implied constitution we |
are becoming more Democratic. A ma
ton is an clinical unit occupying a |
unit. When the people |
have the same ideas we have clinical |
unity, then state can be formed. The |
Puritans, Dutch, Swedes, Catholics, /
Scotch Irish and Germans all settled |
in different geographical unitles form
ing l3 states and governments. In the
crucible of war we tried to make one
state out of 13 clinical unities. The
idea of self-government grew up under
the banner of liberty and freedom.
During the intercolonial wars, the coll
Onies were self governing. Each state
became Democratic. The national gov
ernment called upon the States to make
new constitutions. The sovereign
power consists of three things, 1st, the
right to tax; End, the right of eminent
domain; 3rd, police power.
After the announcement of the elec-
ton of officers for Friday, the meeting
adjourned until one o'clock.
Afternoon Session
The afternoon meeting was called to
order at one o'clock. After song SER
vice the OF. r. C.Secretary was elected.
e. L. Leidy, of Rockford, was nominated
and elected by acclamation.
DR.. Ascham spoke of the English
Novel" Some of the modern novels
ire lacking diction. In the older school
which the modern novels have not sur
nor even equalled. George
Elliot is the leading novelist of the 10th
century. The book lives, which can
breathe the spirit of living man, and
will be literature as long as world en-
lures. Novels are divided into two
.lasses, lst as to the mode of treatment
ntO romance, historical, and realistic;
md, as to the material, psycholistic,
manneristic and animal.
Before taking up his subject for the
fternoon Prof. Martzolff spoke of "A
,tate Teachers Pension System" pro-
,osed by Hamilton county Teachers
association. We pension our soldiers
or shouldering the musket and main
aiming peace, but far braver soldier
S the teacher who saves the lives and
elps to build up the souls of the child
