TEACHERS OF ADAMS CO. OPEN INSTITUTE (Continued on Page Five) ' wa s the thought followed by Dr. Myers in his address. Salesmanship in teaching was emphasized, and the speaker told the teachers that to be successful he must be a good salesman and make the pupil want the knowledge he has to impart. Import- ' ant qualities in teaching are courteI

ousness, thoughtfulness, method, system, knowledge of the subject, and interest in the boys and girls. Teachers should eucourage pupils to ask questions, he said. Miss Spray sang "America the Beautiful,” "A Merry Life,” and a few other selections which prepared the teachers for the next address, given by Professor Homer L. Morris, of Earlham College. The subject of Prof. Morris’ Icture was “Russian Revolution" Professor Morris urged the teachers to interpret current history for the pupil. He said that had the revolution in Russia not occurej when it did it would have been looked up, as a great forward ' erent light. Since it did occur when it did, it hag been looked down upon by the allies, since it prolonged the war, he said. Otherwise it would [ have been hiked upas a great forward j democratic movement. Prof. Morris described conditions in Russia very completely. The institute will continuue until Friday afternoon. A different speaker will be present each day, in addition I to Dr. Myers and Miss Spray, who will |be present each day. The public is I invited to attend the institute and hear The lectures. o BEET WORKER 1 IS DROWNED IN STONE QUARRY (Continued from Page One) finished his work of cultivating beets there and come to this city to visit with his friends living in huts near the sugar factory until the harvest of beets begun.
