Close At Noon Hour
On Thursday And Friday Of
The Present Week

In connection with his duties as
clerk of the courts, j. V. Finney has
opened up a matrimonial bureau which
he will conduct during the dull season,
at least. Being bachelor himself,
the clerk is in good position to ad-
wise other people to try it for them.
selves. Clerk Finney does not guaran-
tee satisfaction, nor does he give rain
checks with each match he makes,
says the Mansfield News.
Clerk Finney recently received let
ter from a young man in large city
in the middle west, asking if the clerk
would ascertain if a certain former
Mansfield woman, now living in this
western city, is married Or ever mas
been married. If so, when and to
whom. The letter is written on de-
partment store letter head which firm
bears the name of the writer, but the
head of the firm seems to be lady,
probably the mother of the young man
who wishes to marry the Mansfield
woman who is now resident of that
city.
The letter says that three or four
former Mansfield families are now liv.
ing in this western city and it seems
they got their hammers out and began
to knock on the wedding when they
learned that this department store
man was going with the former Mans
field lady. The writer says: 81 have
been keeping company with her for all
most l year. AS far as l know any
thing about her she is all wright, but
there is four families from Mansfield
here all so and they keep telling me
that Miss - was a married
woman and she is still married at the
present time. Now if it is not asking
to much, l wish you would find out for
me this.
"The reason would like to know is
that some of these days, l may take a
foolish idea and ask her to become my
wife. Before do so, want to be on
the safe side. Salty first, all ways. l
think is the better plan. You know as
we'll as l do if some one tell you
something one way and some one a
mother, it kinds keeps one guessing
and he hardly knows what to do.
Now hopeing you will do your best
to find for me what You can, and

THE INSTITUTE
Of The Knox County Teachers
Association

At the beginning of the session
Monday afternoon, Prof. Chubb had a
number of children on the platform
who sang and played several games.
These games were given to illustrate
how children may be taught rhythm
in music.
Needless Fears" was the subject of
DR.. Schmucker's talk. He said that
most people are afraid of some Of
the most harmless things. He spoke
of the dragon fly, which is harmless,
and also of snakes, most Of them be-
ing perfectly harmless, the only poi
sonous ones in this country being the
copperhead and the rattlesnake. He
said that the fly is the most danger
Gus animal there Is.
After an intermission, Prof. Eby
spoke on "The Problem of the School,
He said that there is great necessity
for change in school methods, that we
are afraid of getting away from the
beaten path.
The education of a child must be-
gin where the race began and he must
be lifted to the level to which civi.
lization has attained. The problem of
the school is thus a cumulative one,
becoming more complex from gener-
alton to generation, as the child must
be lifted through successive greater
distances.

After the intermission DR.. Schmuek-
er told, in his interesting way, of
"The Toad and His Cousins" He said
that the toad is the very best kind Of

its of these little animals, doing away

Prof. Eby continued his talk Of tho
morning on "The Pull on Society,".
He said, in part, that people are not
isolated into local communities as in
former days, the communities being
merged as the population becomes
more dense. Ways of communication
and transportation are being devel.
oped more and more by the use of the
telephone, telegraph, fast railway
trains, automobiles, etc. Books and,
newspapers have multiplied. All these
things have made strong pull on So
ciety tending to cause an isolation of
the soul now rather than an isolation
of the body as formerly. 1t is neces-
sary to meet these condition in order
that there will be common standards
and ideals, resulting in team work.
Larger communities should be re-es-
good example of this being in the CEN
tralized school.

system of penmanship then gave a

to be used in the rural schools the

tuesday Morning

The session Tuesday morning was
opened by singing led by Prof. Chubb
and devotional exercises conducted by
Dr. Whitaker of the Gay st. NJ. E.
church.
Prof. Eby spoke on "The Pull on
Society" He said that we often hear
the statement made that people are
not so sociable as they used to be. He
said that the local communities used
to be bound together by various forces
which made it necessary for them to
work together for the common good.
Many of these conditions have been
removed or changed thus causing a
change in social conditions Some of
the forces holding local communities
together were their isolation from
other communities, lack of ways OF
communicating with each other, their
environment, or physical surround
ings, and the community church from
which developed the district school.
Alr. Ellis r. warner, HlsH Scnool
inspector from the State Department
of Public Instruction, then spoke OF
the progress that is being made
throughout the state under the new
school code Among the things that
he mentioned were the changes being
made in the sanitary conditions of
many schools, better selection OF
textbooks, the Standardization and
Capitalization of rural schools.
