MEETINGS CLOSE;
BAPTIST CHURCH

On Friday evening the successful
series of meetings at the Baptist church
came to close. During the two
weeks the psstor, Rev. Z. d. May
hew, was assisted by Rev. G.. A.
Hemenway of Minneapolis. At bis
farewell sermon Rev. Hemenway
took for his topic: "What it means to
be a Christian" He said that q
christian is unable to compare him
selfiwith non. professor of christian
ity of the world and say that he is
better than the other. The actual
distinction between the one who &C.
knoWledges his fidelity to the chris
tian religion and one who simply
stands for fair dealing with his fellow
men, is one not so much Of character
as of experience. The appeal of
christianity today to the man of the
world, is that he shall enter an enjoy
able experience usually denominated
as eternal life.
The work of Rev. Hemenway was
highly appreciated and he had most
kindly wordSfor all those who attended
the services.

EDUCATOR SPEAKS
TO THE TEACHERS
(From Saturdays Daily

President Martin of the Platteville
normal school gave an address at the
teachers meeting at the high school
building this morning and Rev.
q. d. Mayhem of the Baptist
church also spoke. Mr.. Martin said
that the pupil should be educated
with the thought of larger relation
ship to society and this relationship
of one to the other should determine
the method and matter in the school
work.
He emphasized the fact that it was
impossible to secure the finished
product by vocational training in the
public school. Much has been said
along this line and the public expects
too much of vocational work. The
school only initiates; it does not pro-
duce the finished product. After the
work in the public school is over G
boy or girl should go on and complete
his bookkeeping or domestic
science
The speaker also urged that teach
ing be with defiaite end in view or
purposeful. The average teacher pre-
sents subject to the class in pratt
cally the same manner as his prede-
cessors. There should be a definite
purpose in the work.
In the forenoon Miss Title Holme
gave an interesting paper on "Echoes
from the Milwaukee convention" ga
Criticism on Examination Questions
in Geography" was given by Miss
Freda Wareham and an exercise in
primary grammar was given by Miss
Lillian Reinking
