THURSDAY IS TRUSTEES' DAY At the Teachers’ InstituteReading Circle Manager Gave Talk Today. I INCREASED INTEREST Shown at Each. Session— Dr. Harvey Talks on Psychology. Interest nt the Adams county teach- **•*' institute at the Christian church continues glowing and the attendants can scarcely realize that one-hall ol the week’s session is now over. Tomorrow will b< Trustees’ Day. A speaker not on the regular propram this morning was Walter Dunn, manager of the Indiana Reading Cirele. who gave a talk on the work in his line. The regular morning session wa opened today by the singing of J,, lusaiem the Golden,” followed by the Invocation by the Rev. Robert X. Ball, ol the Baptist church. The Watch on the (Rhine" was then sung with en tliiisiasm. Dr- Harvey's address on "Psychol <»gy ol latter Intancy" was then given “Some teachers teach subjects and seme teach children It is easy to learn subjects, bitt very different to learn children. When a child is born lie is absolutely void of any mental t unit ions, but they do have reflex functions, such as breathing, hearing grasping, etc. The child is born blin< and deaf. Doubtless he cannot hav< the sense of touch. In two or thret days these begin to be established. We may divide the child's life in three - i eiiods. that of infamy, childhood and. adolescence. Infancy is divided In i wo periods, early infancy, up to eight ven months, later infancy front this rge to six or seven years of age There are lour things that develop in <: rly infancy, viz.: Instinct of walk big. We cannot teach a child to walk but they walk only when the niuscln O' the let's work in harmony with the train. Another difference between eally infancy and later infancy is talk mg. A child will talk only when the sp: ch center is developed. In a very great number of cases, children win arc left-handed have been slow in learning to talk In explanation. Dr Harvey said the speech center is or the left side of the head The centei that controls the right hand is also oi the left side of the head, and so whet the right hand works it draws mort blood to this center. By the greatei amount of blood being here the speech center will naturally develop fastei than one whose action of the arm has a center on the opposite side of tin I end. -.. It will interfere greatly in the devel cpraent of the mind of a child win writes left-handed if you try to break 1 ini of this and learn him to writi with his right hand. Children do learn the language but they last have the instinct of talking. Another diffeience in early infancy and later in fancy is “the instinct of fear." (’llll (lien know a great number of things and can express themselves definitely before h knows the language. Another difference is that in later infancy the child is not so dependent oil old er people as 1* is in early infancy.. An other difference is that when a child comes into this world he does not know he is an individual. Generally child conies to know he is an individual when eighteen to twenty-two months of ago. In coses it is as early i s Him or ten months old. Another thing: "Did you ever see a child first laid his hands?" He is just then beMinning to find he is an individual. "Music," by Miss Schrock. This point was used in singing songs that were familiar to the teachers to show them the value of the int rpretation ol letters and workings. This was again a very interesting session and niu.-h enjoyed by the institute. ‘Tlant Protection." by Dr. Davis. The secret of a business success Is control. The attitude of the new agriculture Is to learn howtoeontro the various unfavorable factors ol farming. In order to control the plant growth we must understand the soil. The control of the water in the soil ia perhaps the most impo.’-'.mt thing in the handling of the soil. Wh-n we aie ccmtrolltm the water in the sol . we eontrollng the air.

Some one has apty remarked that 100 yeans from now people would be looking back at tlie last century in much tlie same attitude witli which we now regard that era which observed with awe the first steamboat and the first railroad train. Why, we think we have reached the limit with our forty-story sky-scrapers, our niile-a-nitnute trains and our giant ocean steamers. But jieople of the future will not be amazed at buildings 400 stories high and will regard trains that travel Din miles an hour ar no great feat. Then. Instead o*' land transportation and water transportation, air transportation will be used exclusively. People going to work, going visiting, going to the theater, instead of going by automobile c-F by ear, will have their airship ready to take them." The above photograph shaws that this futurist might more truly have said within twenty years all this will have come to pass, and he would probably have struck it about right. Already a noted millionaire in Chicago comes to work in an aeroplane and goes home at the end of his day’s work the same way. Now they are using tlie airship as a thrilling i de for the children, thus preparing them for what' is bound to occur: “Supreme control of the air." In the pneture above an aeroplane has been converted into a passenger transporter, capable of holding six children, that skims through the air about a foot above tlie ground The adviator is shown ready to start with a load of passengers. This novelty was first Introduced by the managers of the Prighton-Shorehani AeriHirome (England) and has already become very popular.
