I lowing Saturday. TEACHERS HEAR MORE LECTURES Member Os University Os Illinois Faculty On A’ep«l WWSO.IJ The teachers' institute being held jin the court house this week, openled this morning with a *ong led byMiss Chloe Spray, the music instructor. Thf-Rev. R. W. Loose, of the First Evangelical church led in the devotlonals. County Superintendent E. S. Christen discussed the teachers’ license law and the teachers' reading circle course for this year. He then Introd if ed Dr. Myers, continued his discussion of “Tragedy of Errors,” which he started yesterday afternoon. Once an error is made the ten dency is to repeat the error, said Dr. Myers, this morning. Habits are not broken, he said, but we merely fcreate or form stronger ones which i overshadows the others. He urged the teachers to keep the attention of the child away from the mistake byemphasizing the right way. Professor Harry G. Paul, of the University of Illinois, was the other speaker on'the program today. lie spoke this morning or. the subject. "Three Steps of the Reading Process,” The three steps pointed out by the Prof. Paul were to seize the thought, hold the thought in mind, and express the thought. Reading should be emphasized, he said, beI cause it is the key to all learning. The process should be varied, he said, in order to keep the interest of the class. Tuesday Afternoon Session Dr. MyVrs «selivered an interesting lecture on "Tragedies of Errors.” at the Tuesday afternoon session of the institute. “Scolding children for mistake was criticised by Dr. Myers. He warned the teachers .against giving the pupils work to 'difficulty for them and urged them to lead gradually from less difficult work to more difficult work. “By experiment we find that z the first impression js most lasting!.” H-. Myers said, “so be careful that the first impresion is correct.” Dr. Paul Voelker, of Olivet Col lege, Michigan, spoke on, “Moral Measurement,” at the afternoon session yesterday. “No boy is perfect and only 65 per cent are trustworthy” | said Dr. Voelker. He said that 1-10 of the boy is ideal and 9-10 is emotional. Dr. Voelker’s lecture was very interesting. GLAD SISTER ESCAPED OPERATION “Physicians had given my sister up to die; they wanted to operate for gall stones, but she was too weak and could only talk in whispers. I cot her a bottle of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy and in 3 weeks she was able .to get about and walked a mile to I church.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, fiver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For sale by The Holthouse Drug Co. and druggists everywhere. CROWE MAKING I STRONG PLEA I Says That Hand Os God Disclosed Murderers Os Bobby Franks Criminal Court Room Chicago, Aug. 27 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —lt was the hand of God that disclosed the murderers of Robby Franks states attorney Robert E. Cjpwe cried at the afternoon session tod,ay of his argument forth? gallows for Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. “It was an act of God, an act qf Providence’’ Crowe declared solemnly. “Leopold may, not believe in God, but as he watched the unfurling of the evidence in this case ho must have come to the conclusion that there is a God.” Again Crowe compared the evidence presented by the very alienists that were called in by the defense and state to show chief Justice John R. Caverly that Nathan and Richa- 1 are normal in every respect. The crims was not the act of mad boys, Crowe said. Cold blooded and careful preparations was in evidence everywhere along the line he said. Again and again Crowe pointed to the medical evidence to substitianriate his contention that the boys possess normal emotions.
