Antwerp, Sept. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —A German Zeppelin attempted a flight over this city last evening but the attempt failed on account of the heavy artillery fire. Another attempt was made early this morning which resulted more favorable and six bombs were dropped into the streets. Later, seven more bombs were dropped, badly damaging several houses, which had been converted into hospitals and were flying the Red Cross flag, and injuring a dozen persons. The United Staes consul this morning visited the temporary hospitals to see the damage inflicted. Rome, Sept. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —The German socialist representatives who came to Italy in an endeavor to induce the Italian socialist leaders to influence the Italian government to lend their assistanceto Germany, have failed in their mission and a protest has been published by the Italian socialists in which they describe the attempt as against the dignity of Italy.

IS TRUSTEES’ DAY (CONTINUED FROM PAOH ONE) The hall game Wednesday evening by the married men vs. the single men resulted in an overwhelming defeat of the single men. The score was 12 to 2. Amos Stauffer of Hartford township was umpire of the game and wonderful to relate, he is able to attend the institute today. Teachers should not forget the lecture tonight by County Superintendent Lee L. Driver of Randolph county. His subject is "The Township High School," and will he illustrated by stereopticon views. Everybody is welcome, whether you are a teacher or not .and the admission is free. Ex-Trustee John A. Barkley of Union township was present at the institute Wednesday. Trustee Suman ot St. Mary’s township was also present at the institute Wednesday afternoon. Today is trustees’ day and quite a number of trustees are present this forenoon and we expect every trustee in the county will be preesnt before we adjourn this afternoon. Wednesday Afternoon The afternoon session of the institute opened with a song by the institute under the direction of Miss Schrock. Mrs. Price then continued [ her lesson on “Story Telling”. The i teacher should practice story telling ! before she presents the story to the 'child or class. This prevents hesitation. causing a break in the story, and 'in the thought in the child’s mind. Always aim to teach something besides the immediate thought of the ■ story. Stories have a great influence lon children. They love stories of success and heroism. They will unconsciously grow and he like their favorl ite heroes. The beginning of the 1 story is very important. If the child j likes the beginning fiis interest will 1 remain throughout the story. The elements in the main body of the 1 story must be closely related. The Climax must be fitting, and finally the lending must be strong enough and 'not too strong to suit tlje remainder of the story. A strong story with a weak ending is useless. A weak story can not have a strong ending. Do not attempt too lengthy stories in primary work, unless .you divide the story into series. Have children pick out characters wfiich are to be liked and others which are to be despis< for hated. Have children to pick out the pictures of the story and have them draw these pictures on the blackboard. The fairy tale has a charm for al! children. Do not attempt a hard story if you Are not a good story teller. There are four objects in presenting the fairy story, Ist it developes the Imagination, 2nd children hunger for the fairy story, and this hunger should il»e satisfied. 3rd. Ethical points are established. 4th. Fairy stories prepare the child for love of literature. There may be other objects of minor imporance. Use your best language in story telling. Don't use "baby talk” or “lovey dovey” language to your children. They realize they are not babies, especially after they have started to school. Teach language by having she story told back to you after two of three times. Have him use his own expression as much as possible. Do not compel him to use your words. He will enjoy the story much more if he knows that he will be able to tell the same story to some body else. Intermission After intermission, Miss Gaddis gave a Jesson on the subject of “Foods.” Forty percent of the maladies of mankind are due to mal-nutri-tion. This may mean either too mujfi or too little food hut more commonly not the right kinds of foods. Insurance companies steer clear of the man that is underfed and unnourished. The fat man is a better risk although he is subject to heart trouble. Domestic Science should not be a hugbear in our schools. Correlate it with physiology and geography. Teach the child to eat what he has got. There are substitutes for meat as well as fat. One pound of cheese contains as much nutilment as three pounds of meat. Fat is found in nuts and milk. Water is not a food but it is neccessary to the body. The four reasons for cooking food are to make it more attractive, to develop the flavor, to sterilise it and to make it more digestible. The principal ways of cooking are broiling, roasting, boiling. steaming, frying and fricassee. The amount of food an individual eats depends on age. sex, occupation, climate and cooking. 1■ a and coffee are not so injurious if properly made. Foreign people use more condiments than Americans. If possible have your domestic science class visit a bakery, creamery, canning or sanitary milk depot. These concerns are seemingly emblems of cleanliness but inspection often proves them to be very insanitary and emphasizes the point clearly that domestic science in our schools is the best safe guard to

the health of a community. Intermission After Intermission, Dr. Brooks of Indianapolis, representing the State Board was Introduced at this time! and made a short address- on the new i movement in the schools of Indiana. There are three principal things ot Importance which are the result of this new law. The first Is the appointment of a County Agent whose office is tq help the farmer he a better farmer. The second provides for elementary instruction in agriculture, domestic science, and vocational train- j ing. The third, provides for advanced instruction in these lines of work.: . The lecture which was to bo given . by Dr. Davis at this time was postponed until tomorrow morning. PUBLIC SALE.
