i Agirculture Is One Subject J (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) are not true, because they believe wl.at thy are telling is true. If a !• small child does not He, there is some- ’ tiling wrong witli him. As he grows older it becomes less until the .child 1. ' .. cornea to the age when he will not a tell these untruths The same Is true ol Stealing is taking something of another for your own use. A o child may take something and use it i- as his own. but tills disappears as the d child gets older ami develops. Some a ol the actions of children that cause s us annoyance only come from this i- stage of development. The ethical atmosphere is made by the teacher. Some teachers think that what he does after ( school is no one’s business, but if he n thinks wrong out of school, he cannot think right in school. Monday Afternoon. \ Monday afternoon's session opened s v itii a music period by Miss Bess s Sclirock, using the selections, 'The s Soldiers' ('horns" and "Tile Storm P Fiend." This was interesting, enjoy,l able as well as beneficial. I In speaking on "School Discipline.” b Dr. Harvey said, in part: I, The one problem we are the most , interested in is discipline. There are ( . two things wo, want or have in school. discipline and teaching in itself. A great number of new teachers fail in i discipline Why it this true? We do not understand the pupils. We should try to understand their motives, their natures. a To have good discipline in school, •' Dr. Harvey used illustrations of his a personal experiences and showed that •’ t< accomplish this the teachers must • have in mind what constitutes good a discipline. What is good discipline'.’ •’ What is good behavior in Hie school- " r.tom? A proper attitude or unity for the best study. >' Prohibitions in school should be II avoided when we are constantly says ing, ’ Don't do this or that." it gives “ the pu| il an idea to do these tilings. ' The play-ground can lie used for a great educational force We should s supervise the play-ground. If the play " ground has the proper management the time spent there has had the v greater amount of educational force than the. same amount of in , an ~ o, study in the school-room, but to have ' the proper management ti c tmif-hei 1 should Im there. In dealing with nifrae- <’ tions of discipline. , "Always deal with the individual." 1 "Isdlati tile offender." That is male 1 him unpleasantlv conspicuous. In summary Dr. Harvey said keep tlie idea of what good behavior is in mind for according to tlie Law ol l»jI uamogenebis, it is Hie only way to II succeed. ‘ Tlie School and Rural Life Bettern i.ient." hy Dr. Davis. p Because ol the bread and butter I question tlie study of agriculture is 1 a fundamental one. There are four ’’ ihings which make "Rural Lite Bet- ' ter.” 1. Scientific farming. 2 Cooperation. 3. Influence of the country church. •1 The betterment of the rural • school. ' The phase of cooperation lias not iu" ii learned When it i learned and ■ there is a moperation of faimers and ' < onsurners the high cost of living] will be partly solved Tlie country church expects its in-' fluence lor good when in harmonv. The country school is a place for the! meeting of tlie peoivle. The old school j : was a cummunity center, the teachers visited, they had spelling seitools and I other school socials. On Sunday it " as open to tlie community for worship or a meeting place. We have I drawn away from that custom and th • school house is rarely open only on school days. What are we doing in ehool lo he.lp jour boy make a living? We an . tcai hipg tlie boy and girl reading, i arithmetic, etc., but w e should toacit ] the boy how to take his place in tlie ! community as to religion, social rivic '■ and cconimlc life. School becomes more itileri sdhr. tn! pupil wlii>ii the formal and social are combined. In conclusion ho gave an example of a farmer buying fertilizer of which he knew nothing about of how the! teai liar can help tin: boys in the rural' districts. Remember that in the rural I frliool you have a great opportunltvl to help the pupils in the formal and the social phases ol education. ■ SOLD BARBER SHOP.
