| Two DAYS OF ideal weather and the
spirit of duty and loyalty so pronounc-
ed in Manitowoc County teachers
brought nearly every teacher to the
institute, only about six teachers fail
ing to attend, these being unable to
come on account of illness or other un-
avoidable causes. Asa M. Royce with
his usual enthusiasm led the general
exercises which consisted OF singing
and games. He spoke on the Modern
Tendency in Education emphasizing
that though there Is value in such fads
as the present day Measurement Of
Pupils Abilities" we must not lose
sight OF the fact that the boys and
girls are human beings with hearts
and feelings which must be taught to
be honest, modest, cbaste, and self-re-
liant. The biggest thing in school is to
influence the individual for each child
| is different. The teacher should know
the parent to understand the child,
and TO do this each home should be
visited early in the year, Another
thought emphasized was that the teach
er must enter into the life Of her dis
trict no matter what the religion or
cultural standing OF the community.
Mr.. Royce also stated that there is
no such person as a bad boy or girl.
In geography Mr.. Royce emphasized
that beginners should be taught by
informal talks, excursions, and by OBJ.
servation OF the natural phenomena In
the district. None Of this geography
is TO be technical.
Spelling should be taught from q
text book, class list, which is to be
selected from the new words of the
next days lessons In geo grsphy, his
tory, and other lessons, aud an indivdu.
al list kept by each child In which he
keeps the words which cause him the
most trouble. The most Important fact
In teaching spelling vas that most Of
the word study should occur in the AS
signment OF the lesson.
In his talk on The School In Order
Mr. Royce laid stress on the thought
that Order is the most important fac
tor in a school, not the kind that re-
qulres perfect quiet and soldier-like
obedience TO orders but the kind that
shows cooperation and harmony be-
tween the teacher and pupils. A few
rules for teachers were: BE on time,
be alert to what Is going on in school,
and modulate your voice II 1t has a
tendency to be shrill.
In his last talk Mr.. Royce In very
| forceful and eloquent manner criticised
the modesty and behavior OF some OF
our teachers.
Mr.. Rounds la his friendly, wlnsome
manner brought TO the institute some
good, practical helps for the teachers:
In language he showed that the
personal pronouns used with other pro-
nouns TO form subjects and other parts
OF speech as he and T., TO her and me
are the ones wrongly used He also

plication blanks and swears to it, he
will be fined $500. If you give him a

to convict him. But should we desire
to investigate the purchase OF any such
