Social Side Of Institute To
Receive Attention On
Thursday Night
BETTER METHODS In
TEACHING DISCUSSED
Importance OF Keeping Pu-
pills Interested Emphasiz-
ed By Speakers

The first address at the teachers
institute on Wednesday afternoon was
gwen by DIR. Mcmillan, his subject be
ing Some Phases of Thinking" He
said that the thinking that is done in
SCHOOL and the thinking of life is not
usually the same. School thinking Is
OF the accurate, logical type, while
that Of life has to do with probabilities
and requires the weighing of evidence
on both sides of the question. This
type of thinking should be brought ov.
er into the schools and can be devel.
oped in the study of geography, his
tory, nature study and reading.
In arithmetic, If pupils are to do
the kind of thinking that really counts
for something they must be given prob
lens from life situations. In all work
the unity of the subject should be pre-
served, right associations should be
made, and pupils should get the exact
meaning.
,"Beginning in Number Work" was
the subject OF Miss Schaeffer's talk.
She told how arithmetic in the first
gfade can be taught by the use of
games, in the form of busy work and
III connection with the other work of
the grade. In this way there will be
rio drudgery or tediousness attached to
tie work as there otherwise would be-

school building Thursday evening.

manual Activities In the Element
ary School" was the subject of Miss
Schaeffer's talk. In this address she
discussed the teaching Of spelling in
the lower grades. "The important
thing" she said, "is to lead the pupils
TO get clear mental picture of the
word. In doing this, care must be TAX
en- to present the work in different
ways so that all pupils will get the
mental picture, as some children learn
by hearing and others by seeing"
Az she does in all her talks, Miss
Schaeffer gave many devices that
might be used in this work.
After n short intermis3ion, DR.. Me
MILAN spoke on "A Crank Worth
Knowing" The crank of which he
spoke was Henry David Thorean. In
n very interesting way, DR.. Mcmillan
told something of the life of Thorean,
his pecularities and eccentricities. the
time he spent in his hut at Walden
and also spoke OF his writings.
At this session it was unanimously
decided that the afternoon session
close at 2:30 so that all who wished
might attend the ball game for tho
benefit OF the boys Of Battery T..

German Middle Classes
Unaware of Nations
True Condition
BY ARTHUR H POLLEN, British
Naval Expert
THE recent squabble in Germany
does not mean the threatened

II uoeS not mean tne threatened
disntcgration of Germany or
an early peace. The way it has
turned out Germany is stronger
than before, 4 BECAUSE THE
JUNKERS, FOR TIE TIME AT
LEAST, HAVE SILENCE d
THEIR OPPONENTS.
The great middle classes In Ger
many, it should be borne in mind,
have no idea that Germany is facing
defeat. On the contrary, they be-
lieye that the military machine has
been highly successful in what they
think it started out to do-to de-
fend Germany.
Believing that the wars object
has been accomplished, they are un-
willingto pay the price it is costing,
for they think they see the dctcrmi-
nation of the militarists to turn the
nations defensive war into war of
annexation.
They were willing for Germany
to take the whole world, so to speak,
when it looked feasible; but, now
that the war is dragging, they are
tired of paying the price in lives and
sacrifices for the enjoyment of the
ambitions Of the militarists.
THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT
THE MlLlTARlsTs KNOW, THAT
GERMANY 10 LOOKING AT DE-
FEAT OR THAT THE ALLIES
WOULD NOT TREAT FOR PEACE
WITH THE PRESENT RULERS OF
GERMANY. .'|n
They think that with tho German
boundaries extended to take in most
of Belgium, a good deal of Russia
and n slice of France the nation
could make avery good peace bar
gain.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.- In response to inquiries relative to the condition of the Belgian troops now in the field, Lieutenant General Leclercq, the military member ot the Belgian commission to this coun try, said that the Belgians were never ill better condition than they are at the present time. The army is larger and better equipped than ever before, according to the state ment made by the general, and is now even more determined to win the war than it was at the outset.
 Besides rehabilitating the army af ter it's terrible losses, the Belgian people have established munition factories of all kinds for the pur pose of manufacturing munitions of war for their fighting forces, One of these factories is located at Havre where something like 150,000 men are employed. Another, located in England, employs something like 35, 900 munition workers.
