slightly different from the previous

very minute details as to the keep
ing OF a register. He stressed the
fact that teachers should enter his
daily program in the proper blank
and must keep the register full in

Waxahachie Section.
Superintendent Coghlan Of Ennis
through the courtesy of Mr.. VIM

lture TO the waxahachie and Ennis
teachers. Mr.. speer of the Speer
Training school followed Mr.. Cogh-
Ian ard spoke in a very interesting
manner for some fifteen minutes on
THE problems which confront teach
lers in training schools for boys.
Adjournment was then taken for
lunch and rest.
Afternoon Session.
The institute met in general ses-
sion promptly at 1880. The first
speaker was superintendent Coghlan
of Ennis, who spoke on prepared
ness in the public school system.
His address was indeed an able one
and very helpful to all teachers
present. He said the country teach
or who is struggling to bring relief
to the rural child has a tremendous
| problem before him. SO long as the
county superintendent of Texas are
selected by the people the children
| will not have the best superin-
tendents.
Mr.. Coghlan believes that the un-
iversities OF Texas have hampered
our schools more than any other
one thing. These universities have
outlined courses which the child
must now pursue. The courses In
many ways were not practical and
as a result the poor children suffer
ed. However. conditions are i'm
proving for the old fossils in these
universities are dying and better
equipped men are taking their
places.
The public schools of Texas have
| been a football for the legislature.
Texas will never have a good school
| evstem so long as it is in the hands
Of the politicians.
Superintendent Coghlan said he
was emphatically opposed to all
schools, whether high schools or coll
leges, that are trying to develop the
military spirit. He feels that too
many OF II teachers go to the rural
schools without any vision on their
part. A teacher will be ~disappoint-
ed if he makes his salary hinge
upon dollars and cents. In conclu-
sion he told the teachers they were
playing with the destinies of the hui
man SOU when they were teaching
children. lie begged them TO hold
to their bad pupils just as long as
they possibly could, for frequently
these bad pupils would remain in
school and ultimately become good
citizens.

The English section was led by
r. A. Mills. Miss Grace Browning

per on how to teach grammar in
the high school. The suggestions
offered were practical in every way.
she was followed by Miss Ruth Har-
roll. teacher of English at Maypearl.
She gave an outline of q course IN
English for the high school. The
course which she gave was a good
one and could be followed success
fully by any high school having
from so to 900 people.
Miss Olive Adams, teacher OF Eng
fish at Red Oak. gave a very inter-
citing discussion of Method OF
Teaching Composition. She took mp
the various stages of composition
work and showed how she taught
them. she gave no theories what
ever. which Is the custom OF many
English teachers. All teachers

present recognized that everything
she said was eminently practical.

was Miss Ruby Hendricksen, teach
err OF English in Ferris high school

can literature. Miss Hendricksel

TRYING TO CHECK
RISE IN DRY GOODS
(Dun's Review.)

The abnormal rise in dry goods val
lues in primary markets is being
checked so far as it may be by mer-
chants, who are discouraging many
late commitments and placing goods
at value, or withdrawing them from
sale for q time. The rush to place
tlater commitments than has been the
practice in recent years is not wholly
checked, but signs Of a possible re-
Estriction in consumption, because of
the current high values, are beginning
to be noticed
| Wherever seasonab1e engagements
unjust be made, such as in mapped cot
lions, blankets, mems wear and under
wear, sellers are not offering to take
ION q full product at present levels
and In many instances when large Or
ders are pressed very firm agreements
are made concerning the matter of
/ cancellations Despite all that mill
agents can do, values are still moving
upward, quite as much because Of
higher producing costs as from any
element in the demand and state Of
supplies
The movement of merchandise is
very full indeed, and distributors are
lin the markets trying in every way to
hasten deliveries past due, as well as
to quicken deliveries Of goods needed
at once. Some Of the largest job
hers are finding difficulty in placing
duplicate spring orders and securing
guarantees of delivery, principally be-
cause mills are already sold up and
are trying against Unusual odds to in
crease the output General wage ad-
vances are now under way in cotton

land other textile lines are expected
