His discussion was closed in some excellent thoughts in regard to the influence of the Monroe Doctrine.

This was the last of Prof. Jones’ most excellent discussions as he had arranged to return to Indianapolis on the G. R. & I. train due at 1:19. Rest of 10 minutes. After recess the following resolutions were adopted: “Whereas, we, the teachers of Adams county, in annual institute assembled, have been bo ably instructed during the week past; and whereas, every effort has been made to interest and teach us. Be it resolved, that we express to our worthy instructors our sincere thanks for the earnest care manifested towards us this week. Be it further resolved, that we extend our thanks to our worthy county superintendent for his labors in making this year’s institute a success. The next.subject was that of music, discussed very ably by Prof. Cozine. His lecture was based upon the necessity of following rules for successful work in physical culture and, at the same time, he reviewed some of the most important points which he mentioned during the week. Lesson closed by song. The subject of English was again taken up by Prof. Henry. He mentioned several excellent book?, which might be helpful for English training. He said, “Anyone can interpret imagery in poetry, with a little effort. The business of education is not to lead pupils out of work but to lead them to work.” They must learn to live. His discussion was byway of illustration of how we may interpret itnagary in poetry. The lesson was closed by a brief review. Roll call and institute adjourned until 1:30. The last half day has come, and many teachers have been excused, thus making the attendance less than during the other sessions. The afternoon session was opened by singing. English was then taken up by Prof. Henry. In the study of a selection, he advised teachers to have their pupils read a selection through before attempting to talk about it. All the details concerning a selection should be known before anyone will be able to determine what may be the theme of that selection. The theme should Ire the last thing sought and not the first. The teaching of English simply to know Eng lish is worth nothing, but it should be taught that the individual may know more how about how to live. His last lesson closed with that thought. Best of ten minutes. The last subject was taken up by Prof. Cozine. He then sang a solo which was received with great applause. After the solo he again discussed the subject of music. One 1

A man who does not take his home paper, but occasionally answers advertisements in “story papers” has had some interesting experiences. He learned that by sending one dollar to a Yankee tie could get a cure for drunkeness. Sure enough he did It was to “take a pledge and keep it.” Later on he sent fifty two-cent stamps to find out how to raise turnips successfully. He found out “Just take hold of the tops and pull.’ Being young he wished to marry, and sent thirty-four one-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as how to make an impression. When the answer came it read, "Sit down on a pan of dough.” It was a little rough, out he was a patient man, and thought he would yet succeed. Next advertisement he answered read, “How to double your money in six mouths.” He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and he would see his money doubled. Next time he sent for twelve useful household articles, and got a package of needles. He was slow to learn, so sent a dollar to find out “how to get rich" “Work like the devil and never spend a cent.” And that stopped him, but his brother wrote to find out how to write a letter without pen or ink. He was told to use a lead pencil. He paid five dollars to learn how to live without work, and was told on a postal card, to “fish for suckers as we do.”
