WAS A BIG PICNIC (Continued from cage 1.1 township and they delighted a large audience. Following is the program which was carried out to the complete satisfaction of all present: Music by the band; ride on merry-go-round; speeches by prominent speakers in the afternoon: different amusements for the young and old. Ice cream and refreshments on the grounds. Mr. Smith as well as Attorney Moran, delivered fceneral ,'addresses, whicn were greatly appreciated by the great crowd. The people residing in the Irish settlement enjoy a gala time each year at a picnic and the one occurring yesterday furnished amusement for them and their friends. The Decatur gentlemen returned last evening and they state that they were royally entertained. IS THE LAST BAY (Continued from page 1.) plete his work in two years Instead of four. Too often the reason for pupils not being able to study is that the teacher is unable to study. To study a lesson first read the lesson over. Assimilate it and make it a part of yourself. We forget too much that we read because we read too much. We become dissipated from reading too many books the same as a man becomes dissipated from drinking too much beer. The difference is one is mentally disastrous, the other physically and morally disastrous. Second, having read the lesson over, discover the salient points. You will never be a student of anything until, when taking a survey of your work, you can see what's in it. What made Jay Gould great? The power of seeing an entire project in his mind before he attempted the mechanical construction. When he builded a railroad he builded in his mind long before it actually stretched across this country of ours. Third, place the minor points around the major points. Fourth, relate the new points in the lesson to old ideas. A lesson is of no value except you form new relations. Friday Morning. Music, Dr. Hanson. The dictor gave another of those practical lessons for which he is famous. At the close of the lesson Mr. A. Sellemeyer favored the institute with an excellent cornet * solo.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Robert J. Aley, addressed the institute at this time, his remarks being based upon the course of study for the coming year. He said: You will not find much change in the course this year. It has been improved from year to year, yet it is not perfect. We find perfection in nothing. Fifteen or twenty / years ago we found our school children meeting in houses in which they would not be allowed to enter today. In all things we are striving to perfection, yet when you see a man who claims to be perfect, keep your hand conveniently near your pocket and watcn him. He re-emphasized the fact that, as the teacher is, so the school. If the school lacks in interest, awaken the teacher. If the child knows the underlying principles and fundamen tals of a subject he will easily master the details. Definite (teaching *will place the child in the attitude of complete honesty. We want to begin a campaign for better English. We have the best language on earth, yet we seldom know how to use it. Now is the time to begin to teach it, not tomorrow. Waste not a minute. The only way we can ever get good English is to get it into the children. Adults can never become proficient in the use of English. Rest. Prof. Thomas on “The Study of Fiction.” Good fiction is a representation of life. No problem of today causes so much anxiety as this ‘‘Problem of Life.” Every boy, who reads fiction, places himself in place of the hero. You should read the novels written by authors who are endeavoring to solve the problem of life in a systematic, honest and consciencious way. Avoid those who seek only to entertain and arouse the passions. NOTE'S. D. B. Erwin was a visitor at the institute this morning. W. H Teeple seems to enjoy the institute. He came back again today. Dr. Aley did not tarry long, but he took time to say many good things to the teachers. A. W. Quick was a visitor at the institute. Trustee O. J. Suman and wife attended institute this forenoon.
