ject of the morning, THE Teachers
Art" and its relation to the other
arts. The painter can embody his
ideal on canvas; the horticulturist
in the beautifully developed flower;
the sculptor in marble; but the teach
er works out hers in a living being.
This beauty of character developed
by the artist-teacher will endure for
ever. So teaching ranks above other
arts. There is one art that ranks
above teaching because it deals with
the group, society instead of the
individual. This is government or
ideal legislation which should de-
velop an ideal humanity.
Mr.. Frank Jenkins entertained
the institute very agreeably with sew
eral selections on his fine graphon-
ola, and after an intermission and
music DR.. McFarlane gave a talk on
The Human Element in Geogra-
ply" We attempt to train the in
tellect of the children who enter our
schools. We give some attention to
training the will. Let us not train
the head alone and forget the heart
the emotional side of the child's
nature. 1t is worth while to get
knowledge and understanding but
with it let us have beauty and the
capacity for understanding beauty.
I'd put beautiful pictures on the
wall and let them give their silent
message and uplift. The man with
capacity for the enjoyment of
beautiful things lives the broader
life and is a happier and more com
Portable man to live with.
The entertainment in the Lyric
by Rogers and Grilley is one that al
ways pleases tn audience as is prov
en- by the fact that this was their
third performance in Honesdale.
The sweet music of the harp and
the fine impersonations and selec-
tions given by Mr.. Grilley, the en-
tertainer, several of which were his
own compositions, combined to make
very pleasant entertainment.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
The institute was called to order
promptly at 1:45 and as DR.. McFar-
lane had to leave on the afternoon
train he was given the first period
and spoke on THE Twentieth Cen
tury Boy and His Teachers" Edu-
cation is attained through a number
of instrumentalities of which the
church is only one. A mans school
ing begins when he enters school
and ends when lie leaves, but his
education begins when first his eyes
behold the light and continues as
long as life lasts. His educators are
the church, the home, the state, So
ciety and last but not least the
school.
The influence which emanates
from the church is of value untold
to the individual and to society.
would not knowingly place my child
in the care of a teacher who could
say she was an unbeliever.
The home exists for the child and
more and more we are building our
homes around our children.
The state or form of government
that allows individual development
is giving the broadest privileges to
its citizens, and then society that
gives ease of manner and culture.
And so the scholarly education that
comes from books is only a part of
our education.
The teachers regretted that this
was DR.. McFarlane's last talk as his
work has been very helpful and
enjoyable.
Dorin's Juvenile Orchestra enter
tanned the audience with several Sc
lections which were greatly appre-
ciated. They certainly reflect great
credit on their teachers and leader.
DR.. Howerth spoke on Ideals and
Education"
Education consists in controlling a
set of forces which may be called

sustaining and inspiring influence
on man. Biography is wull of illus
trations of this influence on the lives
of men. Every idea we get into our
brains tends to manifest itself. "As
a man thinketh so is he" II the
ideal can so form the life of the
adult how much more will it sus-
tain and uplift the child in the for
NATIVE period. Interest changes as
time passes. The function of the
teacher and preacher is to so con-
troll these changing interests that
they progress not regress, Hold the
ideal constantly before the life un-
til it becomes a part of 1t.
The ideals of the future are to be
the heroes OF peace, not of war.

down TO the sea in ships, those who
delve itnhe earth to bring up riches
for mankind, those who serve man
kind and give their lives to bene-

The Dudley-Buck Co. gave very
delightful musical entertainment at
the Lyric on Wednesday evening.
The theatre was well filled and the
audience very much pleased with the
voices and selections rendered by
the company.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Rev. George s. Wendell OF the
Baptist church conducted the open
ing exercises on Thursday. The
High school teachers met in Miss
Gregory's recitation room and discus
sed High School English. Miss inertia
Underhill, Hawley, read a paper on
What We Aim to Accomplish in Our
High School in First Year English" "
My aim is the same as throughout
the course, namely, to develop a
love of literature and give a means
of expression. A child should be
taught to notice development OF
