This session has proved quite interesting to all who attended.

He says the fishing is not exciting enough to be interesting for the reason that there are too many fine fish in the brooks and can almost be scraped up with the hands. —Bluffton News. The famous Montpelier pacer, Dick O’Donnell known to Decatur horsemen was hurt and permanently put out of business at Kingsland by the carelessness of the train crew. The train crew made a flying switch with a load of coal and the heavy car struck the one in which the pacer was, throwing the horse the entire length of the car. Dick will not be able to race any more this season, and very likely never again. He is owned by G. W. Millikan. According to figures compiled by Miss Mary Stubbs, state statistician, fewer licenses were issued to saloons in the various counties of the state during the year 1906 than in 1905. Miss Stubbs’ figures, which have just been compiled, show a decrease of twenty-four in the number of licenses issued. On the other hand the license fees have been raised In many cities and towns of the state and the revenue derived from the sale of licenses has increased substantially over the revenues collected in 1905. Wheat, corn and oats took a big jump yesterday on the Chicago markets and of course the local market is affected by the change. It seems that some speculator in Chicago has oats cornered and that was the cause of the rise of one cent. The cold weather has been the cause of the rise in wheat, as it has interfered with the progress of the threshing in the northwest. It is rare that markets advance during the harvest season. In fact, they most always go the other way, but this has been an, off year in more ways than one in j the grain business.

Mrs. Mock, of Indianapolis, who has been the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, left today for Marion, to visit with friends. Thurman Porter has accepted a position at the Nachtrieb drug store as Harry Beery will leave the first of next month for Valparaiso to go to school. Mr. and Mrs. R. Patterson, of Craigville, returned to their home this morning after attending the birthday surprise party on the latter’s sister, Mrs. Jacob Railing. Gottschalk and Yoder are pushing the work on the contract for the Louis Worthman macadam road in Preble township. They have rented a house and are temporarily located near their work. The road is being built strictly according to contract and will be a great addition to highways of Preble township. Everett, Hite and Co. have shown their progressiveness by the construction of a hitch rack on the K. of P. lot just south of their place of business. The rack is a chain supported by heavy posts and is 125 feet long. The idea is a very good one and will be appreciated thoroughly no doubt by the farmers. Dan M. Niblick writes us from West Baden, where he is recuperating for a few days. He says the Decatur colony there now Includes B. W. Sholty, Barney Kalver, E. Fritzfnger, Doc LeBrun and himself, all of whom are paying strict attention to their treatment as prescribed. They will arrive home the latter part of next week. Charles Ross, of Paulding, 0., came to the city yesterday and made preparations to remove his household goods to his new home on south Second street. Mr. Ross formerly lived in this city and went to Paulding to reside a few years ago. As Decatur is in the central part of the territory Mr. Ross works, he is coming back to this city. While the wheat crop in this county was not as large as was hoped for, the farmers have not lost faith in the product and they are now making preparations for a large crop next year. Quite a number of them are plowing for wheat at the present time and there will be more ground devoted to it this fall than there was last. It is understood that he Marietta plant of the United Sheet and Tin Plate company, which is to be sold at public auction, August 25th, will probably be bought by the Pennsylvania line and consolidated with the Pennsylvania shops for the Marietta division of that road, which has had under contemplation the erection of new shops. The investigations relating to underground water supplies being conducted this summer by the United States geological survey, throws light upon the condition of municipal waterworks in Indiana. There are a few parts of the country, the survey says, where the supplies are as good as they are in the region thus far covered by geologists. Fearing that she was about to become insane, Mrs. Edward Kimes, wife of a farmer residing north of Claypool, has gone to Logansport and made application for admission to Longcliffe asylum. She has long been in failing health and brooding over her condition has impaired her mental faculties. It is believed that treatment at the institution will restore her to health. Word has been received from the supreme office that Isis Court No. 32 Tribe of Ben-Hur has won the state banner for securing the largest number of beneficial members for the first half of 1907, of any court in the state. This banner will be retained for six months and if the largest number of members be secured during the latter half of the year of any court in the state, the banner will become the permanent property of Ipis Court, Anderson.

THE CLOSING DAY (Continued from page 1.) today in an “observation” lesson. She answered some questions that were in the teachers-’ minds, especially those teaching where there are more than three grades; namely, where will you get time to work in all of these things? What will you do with the rest to keep them busy while part are reciting? To the first, the suggestion was offered to utilize time of opening exercises several times a week or use recess or other intermission to act out or dramatize the lesson, using some of the other class time occasionally. The program is usually broken into units, whether there are three grades or -sevvii grades, so there need be no more classes in the ungraded schools than in the large graded schools. To the second, appropriate busy or desk work must be supplied; this can be done so the ones not reciting are busy with their own lessons. If children are perfectly free in their body movements, they are more free to write and perform all their school work. This principle led Col. Parke in his school to say “Give the children freedom to exercise, to move, and to act.” Contrasting the old method of teaching with the new, the old was repressive making it ull and uninteresting. The new method is expressive, making the recitation sparkling' and intersting. Rest. Prof. Miessner used the institute as a class in studying the “Bridal Chor-' us” from F. H. Cowen's cantata “The; Rose Maiden.” A difficult four part song. The institute is showing its I approval of Prof. Miessner’s efforts by respondng heartily to all his re-

quests. Rest. Prof. Coffman—l wish to call atten-j ion to the reading circle books of the • state. The attorney general of the state has handed down the opinion! that if the advisory board of the township so advise, the trustee can purchase the reading circle books the same as coal, wood or other school supplies. The schools need them. Passing to subject “keeping young” Prof. Coffman said the human infant has the longest period of infancy of all infants. This is because civilization has advanced, division of labor has made specialties and specializing, takes time, other things also make a longer period of preparation nec-| essary. Then the longer the period! of infancy the more complete the des- j tiny. I believe that the old can re-| main young by keeping the brain plas-i

tic, do the unusual thing occasion-j ally. Vary your occupation, in this way, do something that you enjoy both the doing and the result along with the thing your necessity compels you to do. Doing the thing that affords you enjoyment in the doing only is play. Doing the thing that affords you pleasure in the result only is work. Doing the thing that affords you no enjoyment at all is drugery. The great artists of the world have carried the play impulse of their , youth over into maturity. Then the , combination of the two activities tends to make one young. Play alone will not do it; work alone cannot do it. Then keep young by combining the two. Adjournment. INSTITUTE NOTES.
