DR.. Lincoln Hulley gave the first ad-
dress of the morning. His subject
was "The Ideal Teacher" He spoke
of the natural ability and temperament
of the teacher and said that the
thought of service should be more i'm
portant than. the recompense. He said
that the personal traits of the teacher
should be fidelity, industry, enthusi.
asm and goodness. The ideal teacher
in relation to the students should be
seed-sowers, character makers and
soul-winners. On the other hand the
children should have perfect conf.
dence in the teacher.
Supt. Coughlin gave the second ad.
dress of the morning, his subject be
ing, Habits in Education" His talk

held.
The public may confidently expect
big attractive fair. Some new features
have been arranged for at consider
able expense.
The association desires every citizen
of the county to assist In any way
possible toward making the fair sub
stantial success. With proper encour
agement from the public and exhibit
ors the annual fair can be made the
most instructive and enjoyable fea-
ture of the entire year.
The premiums offered are liberal,
and the breeders owe 1t to themselves
to encourage this enterprise by filling

public and to assist in creating fur
ther interest in the minds Of the small
farmer and breeder in better bred
stock.
