WHY Royal Baking Powder is Best. £ The Royal Baking Powder is Absolutely pure, for I have so found it in many tests made both for that company and the United States Government. “I will go still further and state that because of the facilities, that company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of its preparation, “the R0y3.1 Baking Powder is undoubtedly the Purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public. “HENRY A.

Joint Institute Proceedings. > [For some unknown reason the printer omitted the enrollment of Hartford township in the institute enrollment report of last week. It was as follows: Fred Hoff' man, trusstee; J. H, Bryan, Lenora Huffman, Kila Flemming, Clara Hoffman, B. F. Kizer, Edward Huffmai?, Kate Schaffter.] The first Joint Institute for IS9I-2 wa s held in the court house on Saturday, December 19th. The cay was one of the most pleasant and there was an excellent attendance of both school officers and teachers. No one to whom duty was assigned asked to be excused, and those who took partin the exerciseshave just cause to.be gratified at the results of their day’s work. The work ot the program was begun with some well chosen selections sung under the direction of C. D. Kunkle of the Monmouth school. Next followed a very suggestive paper by Ed Chronister of Kirkland township, on the subject: “The effect es self control upon the teacher, upon the pupils of the school. The following are among the thoughts presented. “The ways of meu are written on their faces, scholars determine teachers ways by his looks and words. If you would have your scholars observe cheerful obedience to your wishes, convince them that you are their friend. When this is accomplished then ’ , “Oh the delightful task! to rear the tender thought. To teach the young ideas how to shoot. To pour the fresh instruction o’er the mind. To breathe the enlivening spirit, and to fix The generous purpose in the growing breast.” Words alone will not control a schccl. They are but empty expressions unless accompanied by look and act. Speak theg right word at the right time. The teacher must keep the subject of those who are to learn from him. .One wo-d at the wrong time may make the pupil an enemy for life. Speak to the point and stop when you have said enough. Scholars can not long be awed into submission. The terrible gives place to the ridiculous and the teachei’s authority is at an end. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance, is never more true than in the school room, with pupil and teacher., The teacher must stop and think, To control others he mu.t control self. Carlyle says that he must learn “To devour the chagrin of his lot.” Doubly blest are those who know when not to see. Pla'o says that “a boy is the most'V’.cio.is of all wild beasts.” Teach him self control for the habit of self control is one of the greatest eduea-. tional benefits. • • The subject next handled was, “The educator’s duty in regard to teaching patriotism in the publ c schools.” This was p.esent.d in the shape of a well wiitfcn paper by W. F. Brittson, of Kirkland township, He believe 1 hat it is the duty ot every citizen* and teacher to teach patriotism. Not by hurrahing lor St. J >hn, Grover Cleveland or Benjamin Harrison, but by a study of the history of the nation. Show its difficulties in becoming a nation; wh .t it took to maintain it when di- 10. al hands tried to disinember it. The south used tex' b .oks that uphold slavery. Their sons and daughters believed it to be right. The rebellionwas the result. Teach respect and reverence for the stars and 8 ripi.s, let them be fl iated over your school room; teach their cost and significance; teach observence of law; teach the constitution, the Declaration »f Independence. Use a part of a day each week to le-in such songs as the “Star Spang’ed Banner,” “Hail Columbia,” and “MaichIng Thiough Georgia.” Teach that ale gienCe is first due to our government, not to pope nor party. That to be prosperous we must be enthusiastic in our country .success. In further discu-s’on the subj ct W. E Hower, of Uniftn towi ship, stated tha in I i opinion this is a grand >ubj ct. That it is the duty of te not neglect to teach a love of country. He should pot teach politics He should teach by exajnple of such men as Washington and F<a klin. Sho v them that the Puriti.ns <a .e .0 the new WDrld fioin a love of liberty and t >ok part in tie Revolutionary war. Patriotism «a. then needed; i taw as r

needed in the civil war. In the south were many so ignorent they* would not have known the picture of Washington had they seen it. The teacher don’t know who he is teaching. ' Some reach honorable positions in life, some go to prison. This may be the teacher’s fault. • Eli Merryman is of the opmion that to learn the history of the civil war does not inspire patriotism, but a history of the Revolutionary war carefully does. The history of the Pilgrim fathers teaches ambition and not patriotism. On this, great minds willidiffer. The Puritans couldn’t agree with the Kipg-nor among themselves. The example of LaFayette and Kussiosco are examples of patriotism. « 11. Lankenau thinks the Puritans did love their mother country, but left to ex ercise their religious belief which was denied them in England. It was to better their condition that the Revolutionary was fought. The rebellion was to keep the states .together, to perpetuate the union, not out of patriotism. We must whip them or they Would go out of the union. Our nation would be divided. Both sides would be weakened, C. Iz Walters agrees with Mr. Lankenau, that a history of the Revoiutionary war should be taught. I would show that the patriots were loyal and not rebels. The reasons should be taught, more politics and less tariff; more temperance and less war on liquor would produce more and better results. Science of government should be learned by every school boy; partisanship should qpt be taught, but politics should. Patriotic pieces should be learned by! every school boy. Such pieces as Scott’s “Patriotism” and “Sheridan’s Ride” have a tendency to promote a love of country. W. A. Aspy—A great responsibility rests on every teacher. He don’t know who he is teaching. He may instil a wrong idea of valor in the pupil. The boy follows what he understood patriotism to be and gets into trouble. The convict might say my teacher caused this. He taught me wrongly. I obeyed and now sutler the result. The teacher should carefully weigh what he gives his pupils as lessons of instructions. L. H. Laughery—l would not favor Abating the flag over the school building It would become a common thing, and would lessen the child’s respect for it. To make <the boy patriotism, have him commit the words of patriotism spoken by Washington, Webster and Clay. Tell him ofthe conspirators—Arnold and Burr, show the results of their lack patriotism. Have them conclude as to a choice of re presentative patriots. This would prompt them to like one and not the other, Supt. Snow—That the man or woman may be the most loyal or the most patriotic, he or she must appreciste the benefits and blessings with which they are surrounded. Tell the youth that he lives in free America, and he compreherMs-Jiut part of what you say, because he has little or no idea of how boys in other countries live. He, perhaps has learned something of the Revolution, and that England was an impoitant factor in this struggle for dominion on one, side and liberty on the other. This will be introduction, enough to him as to the love England had for our country rfnd our people. Tell him that in England the poor are not educated along with the rich as in our country. In free America the poor man’s son sits in the same scat, learns from the same teacher and recites in the same’s class with the son of the rich man. He has in all Respects the same privileges and rights and is protected by the same laws. By ability and diligence he may win distinction and the highest positions of profit and trust within the gift of the poeple. When he completes tfie common school course at eighteen he may select his, 1 vocation, or commence to learn his chosen profession. How different in some countries. At eighteen the young man is forced to enter the King’s army and serve as a 6>ldier. In this free country children by right of birth share equally that left them by their parents. In some countries the eldest alone is blest. In this country all may vote their sentiments.and enjoy all the privileges of citizenship without being an owner of land. One may use the utmost freedom of speech against which he deems to be unjust law sor legislation., But few countriss can say as much. Patriotism begins at ho ue. If a child ean be made to know t at home is the dearest place on earth, h re wi.l be but little trouble in causing him to be-patriotic. Can this be done by r« 1 r.tirg the suit’ rings and hardships of the ■oldiers of the Revoluticn and :he rebelI on? Can it he done by S’nging songs of treed.'tn or flowing’he starsand stripes rom the s.:h >-/l house tops? It it can, esitite n hut as best 5011 mav, give the*'- 1< ssor.s in patrio i:m.

I country more when he knew their price, and by comparison could realize what to I him they really ace. Rev. Reed not being in attendance as provided for in the progranf, the following subject was considered: “Do the public schools of Indiana afford proper instructions to meet and develope the capacities of ail the pupils a tend them.” ' First in the discussion of the subject was B. A. Winans, of St. Mays township. Among the ideas advanced were the following: The only true education is the one that develops both mind and body. A strong mind on a strong body* is capable ot effective work in many lines. It is better to expend money in educating the youth than to build jails and prisons for their punishment. It is not necessary that a boy attend a seminary to receive an education. He may be taught lessons of cultu e, temperance and morals. More is expected ofthe teacher than ot the parent, for his advantages greater. The child should be taught self control and a due reverence for God, mother and teacher. The good citizen is a man well developed intellectually, morally and physically. He is directed by common sense, with this he is* like a ship without a guide. All branches taught will aid in developing the child’s faculties. He should learn history for it develops perception and imagination. It tells the progress of nations. It is not so much what subjects, as how the subjects are tfiught. A well told story may give more ideas of a campaign or may illustrate a principal battle than the study of many pages. Washington is the exemplary man of all lands A story of Grant or Taekson will teach will power. One of Evangeline will teach patience. One of Paul Rivere will teach patriotism, Much more depends upon the teacher than upon the books taught. Garfield once said that a log with Mark Hopkins on one end and a student on the other, was better than a University. The teacher by example can give asthetic training. A well kept register will promote promptness and accuracy. We may well be proud of Indiana and her school system. Still she may make improvements- We have the best state Normal school in the Union; we have the largest school fund; we have expensive school apparatus, but have no law to make pupils attend school and receive an education. We should have free text books that the teacher may grade his school as it may demand. The greatest hinderance to proper instruction being given is the inefficency in teachers. This will be conceded except by the ignorant or by the pedagogue O of fifteen years standing who from year to year has taught on a twelve months license. In further discussion of the subject 6L A. Walters, of the Pleasant Mills school expressed himself as follows. The educa-*-tional benefit of a school ddes not so much depend on apparatus as upon him whq/ uses it. The teacher nho must use the book in all recitations cannot arrouse the highest degree of interest, It has been the custom to land the public school from the time of making goose quill pens to the present time. Yet there is plenty of room for improvement. We have taken the initiatory step. The teacher must have a knowledge of the being taught as well as the subject taught. A poor corriculum administered by a good teacher is far b--t---te.i than a good corriculnm administered by a poor teacher. As Page has said every “stripling, dissatisfied clerk or unsuccessful professional man, is given a school, which is to be kept five dav« In the week, six months in the year. How could the proper instruction, to meet and develope the capacities, be expected from those who fail in everything else. This has been the case since the idea prevailed thai ‘no licken’ no ‘larnen ’ ” One lacking eiement is tack. More tack is required in teaching yound children than older ones. As Prof. Brown said; “If but one good teacher be employed, let her teach the youngest pupils.” Frequently teaching is but a roid to medicine or law. The teacher’s mind is not on his work With ladies their pedagogical life t» short for “Barkies willen.” Some teachers are as a gilded bank with no gold in the safe. The school not merely four walls enclosing a community with the teacher as a supreme ruler. and why is vassal? The school is as wise as the universe and as deep as the heavens. The teacher must study nature and. nature’s laws Mind like a plant unfolds gradually—this is growth. Sixty-three per rent of the children of the district schools becomes farmers and farmers wives. These, should know something of plants. They should learn the composition of the soil, should know something of Physics. A 1-t’le lers Rhetoric and Latin, and a few more les sons, on commercial law. Better teachers longer terms of tchool; mor- use of school

apparatus, and school libraries would be qondtfsive to a better development of the capacities of the children in • the public schools. Continued ncj&t -week. Important Notice.

The writer has carefully scanned the President’s message, but has failed to find the slighti st allusion to, or recommendation concerning that gigantic curse, the liquor traffic, which fl rurlshes under the protection of our government, although taken in its different phrase—financial, physical and moral. Its evils outrank the New Orleans lynching—-the trouble with Chili, the outrages in China and the evils of contract labor in the Island of Navassa. Because of this ungodly busi ness, thousands of otherwise useful citizens are idljing their time away in saloons and gambling hells, and are thus depriving their country and their families of productive labor. Because of this licensed curse our infirmaries and jails and States prisons are filled with paupers and criminals. Because of this business our insane and other hospitals'are filled with diseased inmates. Because of this government pro tected business there are family troubles and divorces—there are brawls, fightings, accidents, suicides and murders in such countless numbers as are utterly appalling and yet they are not thought worthy of a passing notice by the chief magistrate of this great nation. Apropos of what the message has to say upon “popular suffrage,” (which means ot course male suffrage only) we have the following from a noted writer in one ot our religious weeklies: There is one statement in the president’s message which deserves more than a casual reading. He says, “If I were called upon to declare where the chief national danger lies, I would say without hesitation in the overthrow of majority control by suppression or perverson of the popular suffrage. That there is a real danger here all must admit. The real energies of many have been expended in trying to fix the responsibility upon the opposite party rather than in efforts to make such practices impossible by either party.” Not only “.he real energies of many have been expended in trying to fix the responsibility upon the opposite party,” but the ingenuity ot many will be expended in making a partisan application ofthe phrase “overthrow of majority control by suppression or perversion of the popular sufferage.” It is not alone in one section that this “perversion of the popular suffrage” has beeb perpetrated. In, ISS2 the writer lived iu lowa. In that year, in one of the fairest, freest elections ever held in any state, “popular suffrage” decided by 30.000 majority against the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage. Yet those in authority managed, somehow, to suppress, pervert and utterly overthrow the popular verdict. Verily, as President Harrison says, herejs a great danger, and it menaces in many directions besides in the election of presidents and congressmen.
