The Teacher an Artist.

DIR. Bagley rad for his topic RED
Letter Lessons" He spoke of the
different classes of teachers-one
who taught with his eyes on the
clock and hts mind on the pay check,
while the other saw the great oppor-
tunities for public service in the
profession. He said he preferred to
look on teaching not as a trade or
a profession, but as an art, and a
fine art The work must be done in
an artistic manner, he said. The COM
pleted work should. show something
of the artists The teacher has the
raw Neutrality-suspicious. it is very
raw-and the problem is to put that
material together into completed
product IF you do the work in an
artistic manner" he said, "the COM
pleted product will have something
new, something Of your own person
atty about it, some of your life, and
deeds and thoughts"
The really artistic teacher takes
the true artists standpoint and sees
the relationship between the finished
product and raw material. 1t is hard
sometimes to find that relationship.
But interest and enthusiasm is dirig-
ible, the speaker declared. The really
great man is the one able to steer
his interest and enthusiasm. He cited
Roosevelt as enc of these personages
and Washington has been pointed out
as another.

Given by Members Of the

Service.

This Sunday evening Rev. F. B. Nc
Allister has been asked to give an
address to the young people and
their older friends at the Baptist
church. Heretofore the young people,
on this national young peoples day,
have had entire charge Of the evening
service, but this year they have asked
him to speak In their behalf with the
leading address Of the evening. His
subject will be: THE Feature Act OF
a Great Festival" The other speak
ers are as follows: Miss Helen Aud
will speak on 1.-THE Devotional Side of
the Young Folks Life;" Clyde In
man will speak of 1.-THE Crying Need
Of the Educational Side;" and Arthur
Lumberg will speak on young Peo-

speakers will each present their ap-
peals in four minutes. Arrangements
have been made to have a large choir
OF young people upon the platform to
sing. from the campaign hymn books,
some of the stirring songs of the
tabernacle meetings.
The pastor said he had a lot OF
Timothys coming on and some day he
hoped they would step in and take
his place. He claimed that so often
the churches were crying against the
evils of the day while they were pro-
viding no adequate means of enter
tainment and social recreation for the
young people. I'VE are trying to
meet this situation in the use of the
Y. M. C. A. and Y. w. C. A. and num-
erous other institutions OF the city,
but especially through the young peo-
pies societies of the churches" He
said the good that was being done by
these institutions could be seen in a
clipping which he drew from his
pocket. It was written by an admir-
jer of the christian church for its
thoughtfulness in placing environ
ment that was wholesome before the
boy and girl. 1t read as follows: 81

Howard Elliott in Leslie's: Those
who made the American nation what
It is today worked long and hard.
The spirit of hard work now seems
to be lacking and we hear constantly
that eight hours or less work a day
is all that a strong, healthy man
should do Where would the United
States now be If our forefathers had
been content with eight hours day
Where will the United States be In
the race FOR future commercial
supremacy among the nations II this
spirit continues? We have ships to
build. railroads to develop, an army

less tasks to perform. Every patriotic
nan should give the best that is IN
him, not the least, if we are to avoid
serious difficulties at home and
abroad

Materials are Not Old.

The speaker touched, upon the fact
that many Of the materials are said
to have lost their freshness. He used
the analogy of a treasure left to the
pupil to show how teachers could re-
vive this interest. No teacher, he
said, would think Of just thrusting a
pupil into a storehouse of gold and
silver and saying this is yours. He
spoke of .-.e discovery OF Newton,
for instance. Newton did not work
out his law OF gravitation in an in
| slant. He worked and toiled over 1t,
and worked hard to make it perfect,
and to fit the problems. The teacher

Splendid Patriotism Of That Country
Is Due to Training Of Pupils
in Schools, Speaker
Declares.
SESSION OF INSTITUTE
Night Meeting of Lee County Teach
ers Held at High School Last
Night, With Or. w. c. Bagiey
as tho Speaker.

That the splendid patriotism of the
French people in the world war is
due to the teachings of their schools,
and that without this teaching the
French could not be in such keen
competition with country which is
teaching similar ideals, was the be-
lief expressed last night by w. G..
Bagley of Urbana, in his talk before
the Lee county teachers institute.
Whatever our opinions may be re-
garding the merits of the warning
countries, one cannot help but re-
spect the attitude of the French, he
said. We hear nothing about slack
ers in their nation. In the French
schools the worth Wilderness of GER
tain virtues and certain duties is
being taught.
One of the sources of strength of
the French nation Is the fact that
duty to the fatherland or to the ma
lions is being taught in the schools,
he said. If this were not so, the
nations could not be in competition
with another nations, which from
early childhood is teaching its chill
dren the same principles. The crime
of ignorance is brought home to the
pupils of both nations as imperilling
the nation as greatly as falling in
battle
In both Of these nations is lesson
for England and for the United
States, the speaker said.
