the Nuttman addition are rapidly nearing completion and another water test will be executed on the tank within the next few days and if no leakages are detected gas will hastily be turned on. The gas lines from the tank to Fifth street have been laid and are ready to be connected to the tank after which a high pressure of air will be turned into the main lines in the city to ascertain whether or not they are intact. It all depends upon the result of this test as to the time gas will be turned into the pipes. The tank is now all completed but the roof, and ten men are now engaged putting the finishing touches on this, which they expect to complete tomorrow or Saturday. The work has been carried on expeditiously and that the tank will be fully repaired in such a short time will surprise everybody.

Mrs. Engle and son Fred returned to their home at Berne today, after a short visit in the city with friends.

THE FOURTH DAY (Continued from page 1.1 solute accuracy in the mechanical part of composition writing. You will not get literary accuracy but you do not expect that In the child of thirteen or fourteen. The child will derive great joy from composition work, ! Encourage letter writing. The children will delight in imitating their l parents in this and of telling their I distant friends of incidents at home. It is of practical value to be able to ' write a letter correctly. It is a splendid recommendation wherever you) may be. Rest Music by Dr. Hanson. Repetition is a necessity in the study of music. A musically interested school is never unruly. Music beats the switch in discipline. The shepherd's way of disciplining is far superior to the cowboy’s. The value of musical impressions were illustrated by the reading of. incidental stories. The lesson was concluded by practice work. Rest.

■ Met Don Burk favored the institute with a violin solo, accompanied by l Mr. Holthouse on the piano. The last period of the forenoon was used by Dr. Ferris in concluding his talk on "Human Nature in the School Room. ’ We never really do as well as we know. Animals rareljf and you rarely reason. Note the similarity. We too often spoil the child by doing for him that which he is able to do for himself. A failure is not made in a minute. The sensual impressions are constantly arousing the interest of man and when the exact concrete moment comes he falls. The embezzler was doing wrong even while his friends were worshiping at his shrine. The boy who acts like a gentleman continuously will, in time, become a gentleman. A boy who is constantly placed in association with good people will naturally assimilate the good qualities. Don’t never attempt to study human nature in the adult Go to the child. Study the child in his natural conditions. -Study human nature in a careful systematic way and then you will never be able to analyze character accurately and correctly.

Come and hear him. On Thursday evening Dr. Ferris will lecture at the M.

We will commence testing the gas mains and lines in the city of Decatur Friday morning. This is done first by pumping air into the lines. If any one detects the sound of ecaping air, don’t be frightened for there is no gas in the lines. Simply notify the gas office by telephone. It be well, however, to keep all lights away from the lines as there might be a small amount of gas left in the mains, and when the pressure is turned on this may be forced out. Later another and different test will be made of which you will have due notice. INDIANA LIGHTING COMPANY.
