TO GIVE LECTURE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) as teachers, should develop the child. Christ was one of the greatest of teachers. After another song by lite Institute, Mrs. Price began her lesson on ■'Phonies.' 1 do not need to urge upon you as teachers the value of phonics. Every teacher knows their importance in learning the child to read. I learned to read by the ABC method and 1 cannot understand now how I did it. Give the child print to read from the start. It is the universal medium. •Teach the children in the first year to read as directly as possible. Many words like “you” and “have’’ are unphonetic words and are taught as sight words. In teaching phonies to a class be sure you give the correct sounds to the beginners because the class will learn the wrong sound as easily as the right sound. We are giving up concert work in phonics. Let each pupil act for himself. Teach one sound only of each consonant. Teach the sound that is used most, which usually is the hard sound. One half the child’s time of reading should be devoted to phonics. At this time Miss Gaddis gave her lesson on domestic science. Her subject was “Bread Making.” She said in part: The equipment is the first tiling to take into consideration. Equipment must be good but it need not cost much. The work m cooking in our country schools is purely elementary. The pupils should not ask why. It is the mechanical part we are seeking.! Neatness is an important thing to be taught in connection. A good meal [ cooked by an untidy cook fails to be palatable to most people. In breadmaking use the flour used in the community in which you are teaching. Fancy flour costs a fancy price and is little or no better than the home prod-, uct. By washing the starch out of your flour you can determine whether. it is made from spnng or winter wheat. Good flour should be gritty, and contain a normal amount of gluten. Bread should be baked in individual baking pans because the crust is then formed over the entire loaf and the loaf becomes thoroughly baked, making it more digestible. Bread baked in this manner will also keep better. Teachers should study bulletins of the various trade schools which do laboratory work —since we yet have no text book. After intermission. Dr. Davis gave his lesson on “Problems of Plants.’ A plant that is not cultivated should not be expected to grow. Plants get most of their water by capillary attraction and is called capillary water. Too much free water will smother a plant, hence the use of drainage. Plants should be cultivated during a drouth to pulverize tne soil and increase capillary attraction. Some plants have the power to adapt themselves to conditions and seek water. The alfalfa plant has been known to root downward to the depth of eightyfour feet. Grass or weed growing near a cultivated plant will rob it of its water. The amount of water absorbed by a plant is enormous. Humus is a splendid ccnserver of moisture. We can not expect to draw from the soil without returning it. If you have a comfortable bank account, and continually write checks without making any .deposits your bank account is going to give out. Tthe same is true of the soil. Tobacco is very exhaustive on the soil. It draws potash and nitrogen. Cotton is another plant that is damaging to soil without rotation. The keeping up of the soil is not a hard problem if you understand the rotation of crops. Soil may be kept up by green fertilizers and by commercial fertilizers. Do not buy a commercial fertilizer unless you understand your soil. Institute Notes.

The teachers were entertained Tuesday evening in a delightful manner by Mrs. Ella Tryner Price. Th° evening was devoted to story telling, and was much enjoyed by all present. The attendance was not as good as it should have been and those not hearing Mrs. Price in her delightful storytelling missed a rare treat. The evening’s work was especially suited to primary teachers. Such stories es “The Pony Express,” “Thu, Little Moiise Pte,” and “Why the Chimes Rang,” were features of the evening, and although they are children’s stories, yet we were all children for over an hour Tuesday evening white attentively listening to these stories. Mrs. Price was ably assisted in her evening’s entertainment by Miss Gladys McMillen, who sang two vocal solos during the evening, which pleased her hearers very much. At the close of the entertainment tne audience was delighted by a piano solo by Miss Irma Houk. Thursday is Trustees’ Day and cv ery trustee is expected to be preterit at the Institute. Dr. Louis Shermaa Davis, Eh‘. D., of Indiana university, will deliver a lecture in the circuit court room this,

Wednesday evening. Everybody is«i|-, vlted To attend, ’hie admission h free and you are promised a good lecture. The subject of the lecture Is “Patent Medicines.” The enrollment today has reached ’ 140. It should be 180. Teachers. Uncle Sam will not love you any more > if you choke his eagle. You owe it to your county and profession to and become a member of this - institute. ' G. A. Lehman is representing the ■ Adams County Leader, a paper pubI dished by and for the schools of Adjanis county. The value, the Inipor- ' tance. the power of the Adams County Leader lies in the fact that every 1 school has an opportunity to speak and have a voice in it. If you wish to know more of this movement, talk with Mr. Lehman. The movement is 1 a worthy one and should have our sup port. Tuesday Afternoon The afternoon session began with a child’s rote song sung by Miss Schrock to illustrate how to teach songs to the little folks who are not able to read. Miss Gaddis then continued her lesson on Domestic Science. Much it not all of our dry goods is adulterated. Cotton and linen is adulterated with sizing giving the goods an increase in weight and seemingly better goods. Silk goods are adulterated by the addition of Metalic salts. The . test for silk is burning. A good silk when burned leaves a brittle ash and changes shape white poor silk when burned retains its shape and is darker in color. Wool Is readily and shameI fully adulterated by the addition of | much cotton. The test for wool is ■to boil the goods in a weak solution [of sulphuric acid. Children should be taught not only to sew but what they are sewing. Know how to buygoods and the quality of goods bought. Older people are deceived by the oridinary dry goods clerk because they 1 are not judges of the goods to be bought. You cannot buy an all-wool idoth for 37 cents, yet if you are not a judge of fabrics you may be made believe you can. Girls should be taught to feel that they are to be home helpers and perhaps home keepers the girls through domestic science and not the mothers. The aim or end is to make better homes, better citizens, better schools and fight the high cost of living. Intermission After a five minute rest Dr. Davis began his lecture on “Impulses and Suggestion. Children are not all exactly alike. There are three distinct types. The muscular type, the reflective type and moral type. No one type is best but the teacher meets all in every school. This is one of the great problems which confronts the teacher, to know and understand these types. Do not expect little children to sit perfectly quiet because it. is contrary to their impulses, childish impulses tend to become muscularly active. An absolutely quiet child is not doing any good in school because he has no impulses of his own. The expression “murder will out” is only an illustration of this. It is the criminals impulse not to tell but muscular action often overcomes him and he confesses sooner or later to the crime he has committed. Hereditary impulses which have been weakened by dissipation are the cause of much crime A crank is a person who is far in the rear of what people are doinl> or far in advance of what people are doing—hence he is considered queer. He is following his natural impulses by muscular action. Scolding parents always have saucy children. A loudvoiced teacher always has a noisy school. It is inevitable. A suggestion is general and not specific. If you continually tell a sane man that he is crazy he will become crazy. An automobile driver may cause his own death by his impulses changing to muscular action and turn his wheel in the wrong way by following counter suggestion. Government in the school room may be made much easier for the teacher if he understands the natural Impulses of children.

The next number on the program was a continuation of story telling by Mrs. Price. Story telling is very im

».... .■* history. A good story to »» « ' rI gottenby children if well to d. Composition work by most pupil* n garded as a task or a form of punishment if story telling and composition are laugh! together you will get better results. Stories also aid the child to see the beauties of literature. 1 Literature Is full of delUhtful 9tor ” but children know It. Stories atooi aid the child in getting the reading habit. The morning exercises are a goo.! place and time to tel! or read n I good story. If you can not read or tell an entire story have the children complete it at some future time. A good story is always with us. It is never forgotten. The story will aid the child in gaining or sensing hu-[ mor. Children love the humorous side of life. We have more muscles In our face for laughing than for crying and we infer from this that we should always look for humor in life and shun grief. Be an optimist and not a pessimist. Have the children enjoy each recitation. A little humor added on a rainy day hdps wonderfully. Be natural in your voice and manner in telling stories to children. Look them in the eye. Choose stories often that touch on morals, religion, etc., but do not preach and use the story as a text. Have children to gain the habit of seeing the picture of the story with his mind’s eye. Reading is the key to education. Right habits are very hard to form. T|iey must be formed in youth. Story, tell-1 ing aids greatly in the getting of tlte | reading habit. o— NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. — Notice is hereby given that the common cuncil in and for the City of, Decatur.
