IASS MEETING OF EDUCATORS AT BERNE! 800 ENROLLED, ONLY SIX OF AD AMS COUNTY TEACHERS ABSENT. One of Those Dead, Two Sick in Bed. Ninety-Three Baitroad Ticket® Mold at Becatur for the Morulug Train. Saturday, February 111. 1805, was one of the most pleasant days that winter ever brings. Those interested in the cause rs education in Adams and adjoining counties, early in the day, could be seen wending their way toward the neat and prosperous village of Berne. The purpose of this assemblage was to attend the last Joint Teachers’s Institute in Adams county for the school year 1895. The place of meeting wws in the Arena Hall, u part of the school building, which can conveniently accommodate from three to four hundred people. Promptly at the appointed time the work of the day was begun by music from the chorus class consisting of Misses Cora Gottschalk, Nellie Herr, Carrie Lehman. Villa Aspy, Lulu M. Meeks and Messrs. J. C. Blossom and T. H. Barris, after which the opening exercise was conducted by R. M.Campbell who read a scripture lesson from Romans XIII, aud offered prayer. In compliance with a request from ,4onie the good people of Berne, permission was given to make announcements before the principal vftork ot the program was begun. At this time Master Irvin J. Steininger, “The Hoosier Boy Orator.” stepped to the front of tiie rostrum and pronounced a welcome address in the. most eloquent manner to the pedagogues there assembled. Had anyone presumed to entertain a suspicion that the doors of hospitality were not flung open wide to education and her representatives, such an idea would have at once vanished. Miss' Martha Loofborrow, one of Wabash township’s teachers next entertained the audience by the reading of. a paper on “What have facts of history to do with the Spirit of the Times in which the Scenes were Enacted?’.’ The following were among some of the ideas presented: The actions of men are the. results of their thoughts. The mind may entertain an idea of freedom, ot home, of country. To destroy or injure these would be an evidence ot treason. The mind of the Greek, held sacrdd the home of their fathers, Columbus was posessed of an idea of another country. Discouragements could not remove it. Great reformers have desires reforms ere they were advocated. The spirit of the times called for some changes. The revolutionary war was the result of a cause; the sentiment was for liberty. Women made bullets and aided the army. To think of Napoleon is to see the end of kingdoms and the overthrow of oppression. Conditions make events and events make history. In discussion, W. 8. Porter, said: “All acts of a nation are counterparts of its history. The law of the country is the index to the ideas of its people. By reading a nation’s history we test the pulse of the public sentiment or public opinion of the times. The Puritans wanted freedom from European oppression. They cast their lot among the savages of New England rather than submit to the king. The Declaration of Independance is an indication of the spirit of the times. The North Carolina tariff act was declared “null and void.” The pulse in that state ran high. The recent strikes are but an indication of a cause they are the result of a condition.” B. F. Welty—“All laws are but the result of great men’s thoughts, The pathetic feeling in America began before the “Boston Tea Party.” It was not that the article was not good as others, or as the best in the market, but that the spirP was aroused against all tyrany. Then was a prevailing splat that the “Tea Party” was but a result. A thought is usually prior to an act ora law of action. Emerson says that a man is an encyclopedia of facts. John Brown’s raid was the outgrowth of a sentiment which was settled by the late war. The Puritans did not want money but the privilege to do as they pleased in worship and in government. The wanted the king’s official head. The stars and stripes that many years later were made to wave.- over the jand of the free and proclaim the growtli of a sentiment. The red, war and blood; the white, innocence of wroftg intent; the blue, the azure skies of heaven the home of -«od.” * Since it would be impracticably for all the trustees to be in attendance the entire day, tney were solicited to favor the institute with a few remarks in relation to their connection frith the- cause of education. In response Trustee Brown of Root township, expressed himself as being much pleased to know that the school authorities and teachers of Adams county were working so harmoniously together. Were such not the case tills room could not be so crowded with teachers as it is today. It is a pleasure to see the work of educating the young go nh and the parents taking an interest in the children and in the schools for the training of the rising generation. I can notice a big change within a few years. Teachers go off to schools and teach better schools when they come back. My teachers are all here and I am glad to many young people who will soon begin the work of teachers. Teachers and all working to-

gether make these educational meetings a success. Mr. WCchter—l am always glad to help a good cause whenever I can. 1 try to do the best I can. 1 sometimes think that I am wanted to do better than I can, for they want me to moke a speech when I can’t. This occasion reminds me of a couple of old bachelors who agreed to have a iiood time in the use of what money they made. The one who died last was to have all the property of the other. One was upon bis I death bed and both had but a dollar. The dying man called his brother to his bedside and said, “Now here is ail the money we i have. Take it, spend it and have a good time.” “Well,” said the other, “had I : better wait until yon are dead or shall I spend it now?” "Ob you bad better spend < it on your way to tlie graveyard as 1 might < not be along on the return.” 1 So 1 am glad to do what I can for education now for I may not be in attendance at the next meeting of the Adams county teachers. Is Adams county interested in education? By their fruits you shall know them. What do we see that will answer this? We are told that a home without books is like a house without windows. What an abundance of the rays of sunshine a teacher may bring to his school. So may he bring sunshine,to the home. We should bring pleasure and sunshine to those around us and to those we meet. We should try and make the world better by having ired. Mr. Bright— “1 think it Is the fluty of every one to help the cause of education what he can. People are now interested in Institutes. It didn’t used to be that way. I see a great difference now from what it was ten years ago. Now we have some thing to show what education has done. I don’t see such school buildings tn the neighboring counties. Why - is this? Because officers.ami all are more interested in education. Berne is a prosperous people. Where do you find such a school house as tldHgwhere they don’t take any interest in edafetion? in my township we have a gra«d school A tew vars ago we didn’t hiMB teachers lor our schools. We have now I have done the best I could for the m»s 1 had. I believe that- about all the tet&bers are doing their duty and the restffips .vtrwt* having gtfod and successful schools.” Mr Erwin—“l didn't intend to make a I fargjaeil address or speech. Our time has not ■ xpireil yet. 1 am glad to see the interes the teachers manifest in theirschools Steachers“are all here and the schools in township are getting along all right. r. Gottschalk—‘l am trustee pro tern of Loe township. The attendance here w that educators are intensely in the work . I care not what work you may engage in; the work of teaching is of more importance than any other work you can be engaged in. The work is a noble one. But have you thought of the responsibility upon you? There is a spiritual element in each from the greatest to the least. You are responsible for how you teachas well as what you teach.” The following resolutions were next presented and adopted: Whereas, Since this is-the last regular meeting of the teachers of this county for the present school year, be it Resolved. That we. the teachers and educators in and for Adams county, Indiana, herein desire to express our high appreciation of the Untiring energies of our school trustees with whom we have so pleasantly labored in the past. Resolved, That we. at this time, tender to them our sincere thanks for the just and courteous treatment they have ever manifested toward us as teachers. Resolved. That we shall ever regard them as friends of education, and our friends; ‘and that we herein extend to them, collectively and individually, a standing invitation to meet and participate with us in future educational meetings. The school corporations of the county were represented as is shown by the following statement. Thirteen school officers and three college and Normal School Presidents were also in attendance: RANK OF ATTENDANCE OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL OFFICERS.

But three were well and absent, out of 129 teachers. The last exercise before the noon intermission was the lecture by Hon. George Bindley, president of Kidgville college, on “Who’s Boss?” Among the ideas presented were: AlTpersonsare destined to be ruled. In all society we are forced to face each other as surely as we are to irwet the assessor. We may as well start with the babtesc There is ons thing we can do. W'e can behold those in high places but wpcan stand and look them in the faces and say that we wore babies once. We usuallv got wbat we.wanted and sontetimes what we didn’t want. Then, niuscle ruled. Muscle alone is the GpjKrf savage men. Man is a kicker fromaway back. In ancient tithes the na- ; Alon that swung the biggest club was the biggest nation. We have read of David and his sling. We hold muscle in respect when we see its mighty work. Some one lias said that the muscle and the slipper

rules the world. That may all be: but muscle alone don’t make the man. .Animals in muscle are superior to man but man has domination over them. Upon this coin of our realm, we see “In God we trust" all others cash in hand. Money isn’t bosi! If money ruled us when present we wouldn’t be boss when it Is absent. Money will - not bring contentment. Character can not be bought with money; time can’t be bought with imney: hope and love has no cash value and can not be purchased with money. Money may make fools as well as United States Senators. The nameot the wealthy man is soon forgotten after he is gone. Men loose health to get money; then they spend all the money to get health. Money Is the sorrow of the many and joy of the few. The death of some rich men brings but little sorrow, except to the insurance companies. Freedom can prevail only where man’s mind finds domain. The race of 'man may be divided into men, women and dudes. A dude has some resemblance to a man. The part that thinks is wanting in the dude. Instead of a brain he has a knot tied in the spinal cord; that can not think. That the man be happy, his mind must be in communion with God Oneshould takeeareof money and apply it to the upbuilding of knowledge. He should be its master, and it not his boss. The first exercise after the noon intermisMon was a discussion of “To what extent does the teacher make or unmake the school?” Janies H. Kelley, the first speaker among other things said: Parents usually desire the best tilings they can get for thenchildren, but, do.not always know what maybe the best for them. I believe the school is what the teacher makes it. Some teachers have faults that the scholars think are all right and pattern after th^, teacher. No one should ask t < bea teacher unless he or she has a desire to do good; a love for the work: ami a determination to earn the money fie is paid for the work he does. There are a good many kinds of teachers. Some people like a visiting teacher and think a teacher ought not study, and if tie does they think him deficient. The average teacher is appreciated about as highly as he desires to be. Some teachers expect all the laurels and no work; but laurels and hard work must go together. In farther discussion, F. R. Holmes con eludes that: We cannot give a definite answer to the question. Our schools are a little commonwealth. The teacher must legislate and execute, and enforce his own in our country we try to obey the laws. It the laws were different we would not do as we now are doing. Perhajw the laws would be different if the people are not as tney now are. A teacher may make laws that can not be enforced. Tfie should somewhat depend upon the inclinations of the children who make the school Since the teacher must make his own ruleand enforce them himself, 1 am of the.opinion that the teacher does make the schoo what it is. The next subject brought to the notice of the institute was “is the generation ot power the true end of education?' B. A. Winans of the Geneva schools believes that education begins with the birth of the child and ends at the grave. A few great thinkers of the ancient past have influenced the civilization of today. The Jews in religion the Greeks in art and science: the Roman." indiscipline. -Plato says that "the sum ol education is in the nursery." In thellth century there Were two schools One information or science, thvf other prac tical or the physical. The French revolu ti«u tended to a universal education. Within the last one hundred years then has been more progress than from that turn back to Adam, it was never intended thai man should live with no efforts of his own The Garden of Eden was made for out first parents but they were required todres: and tell it. Man has a body as well as at indwelling soul. The body lures for tin body and not the soul for the body. Sou culture is the supreme duty of life. 1 unites man to nature, society and God. E. B. Smith: There are many difinitiom of education. One. a good enough one. believe is a training, hannoniously of thi faculties of the mind. There arc differen aims in life, and the education should be s< as to accomplish the aim intended. Ruskit say T s that the English people want an vdu cation that they may better get the nee< "i ties of 1 Ke. 1 think it should be not hov much knowledge have I gained buthavi my’ mental faculties been strcngthenei should be tlie aim of education. Each na tlon has a somewhat different aim: eacl nation puts most in its education what i uppermost in that nation's mind At the close of the discussion, by Mt Smith, Mr. G. E. McKean, one of the Wash ington township teaehws. offered the fol lowing, which was adopted by Since Washington ?wn> ’ has lost one of its most efficient teachers rr the demise of Charles B. Durr, whose deatl occurred one week ago today, therefore be i Resolved. That we. tw teachers am school officers of Adapts county, fully real ize the fact that- our ranks have lost worthy memhpr. Resol vedrThat we, as a body, extend t the relatives of the deceased oursineer sy tn pat by. Prof. A. Joues. president of the Mario: Normal school, being present was calle upon for some remarks; lie responded ii sentimenU as follows: Your large utlni hers insphe me. If he. who lives a hundred years in thy future, could look back to tli present time he would see tlie results.ol tt day's teachings. We are in an age tha demands sober thought. There are man questions that are pressing upon tlie teach er, and tlie law-maker of today. Theftache of today makes the condition of the eountr twenty years hence. Character is the four dation of ail success in all liiiess. Withou

it no nation can long stand. Womanhood has its mission In this copntry today. This may lie theory, but truth is reached bj A ' theory first. After a delightful solo by Miss Welty, Miss Clista Andrews read an interesting paper on “Doe"" the future success of the American Republic depend entirely upon the education of the imy?” The lady ex pressed tlie opinion that the success of the American nation depended upon the action of a majority of its people, but upon no particular class. Ignorance leads to vice Association educates. Do we mean that wealth-getting, or the increase of a nation's population is success? If we as a people reach the highest degree of success socially and morally we must not discriminate in regard to sex. Girls have ideas as well as boys. They give Ideas to men. Women Instruct their children: they educate them If they would teach them rightly they must thepiselves have an education. The casting of the ballot is an act that requires but the smallest part of the citizen’s time. The issue which the ballot may affect requires more time. Women can think of events' in history. Harriet Beecher Stowe never casta ballot but her work told on results in tlie late war. Country first, party afterward. Tlie home is the most important place. If husbands and wives were both educated, a of the teacher's work would not have to be done. Something for Nothing.
