Tuesday Afternoon.
Following the music hour which
opened the Tuesday afternoon ees-
sion of the institute, Prof. Pearson
talked on the subject of pronuncia-
ton The speaker gave the correct
pronunciation of a number of words
in every day use in the English Ian
guage, which are commonly mispro-
nounced He said: 80 many mis-
takes art made in pronunciation, we
give the vowels too hard a sound
and too fiat, although II is more vul-
gar to pronounce than to un-
der-pronounce. For elegance of
speech. we are dependent upon the
vowel sounds and for distinctness on
the consonants."
Following the recess period, Prof.
Bellingham sang solo with very ar
tistlc rendition, and responded to an
encore by singing Ethelbert Nevin's
Rosary" His son, Roland Belling-
ham, played two very pretty violin
solos.
Prof ,McMurry used as his topic for
the afternoon the words, What we
mean by a strong teacher" He said
in part: when teaching is entered
into with the right idea and as a
profession 1t becomes a fine art. a
strong teacher Is one of steadfast
strength and character. determined
and forceful in personality has aims
which he pursues, broad scholarship
mastery of educational principles and
their application; has definite ideas
of method and Is practical in charac-
ter. He should have high ideals and
power for their execution. He should
be one who can combine theory and
practice; be able to impress himself
on others He shCkld have Iood
influence on young people. These
things have always been considered
necessary in a strong teacher.
another point of view of the
strong teachers qualities Is that III
must be able to bring all pupils to q
realization of their powers. The
teacher must consider the children.

must be able to Judge the weakness
and strength and also the disposition

of his pupils. He must be many sid
