A GREAT LECTURE! Was Delivered by Dr. Van! Ormer at Last Night’s Session THE THIRD DAY Interest Continues — Institute Organized into Three Grades Today The Tuesday afternoon session of the teachers opened with Dr. Van Ormer on a new subject, “Heuristic Teaching. He described it as a kind of teaching that presents the subject matter to the minds of the class and causes it to react upon us and thus find out for themselves. This kind of teaching applies to all classes in the public school and college. More genuine pedagogical work is done in the schol than in the college. A great deal of the burden that rests upon the boys and girls in home work lies in the fact that too much is indefinitely assigned to be worked out at home. Assigning a lesson often puts words at a premium and if you want to do teaching you must lay the text book down and bring out the facts. After the teaching has been done the usual text book will lead the child to think for himself. All text books are faulty in that they give cause and effect and leave nothing to be discovered by the child. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the fact that the child should think for himself. “Personality of the Teacher,” Dr Armstrong. The greatest forces of the world are silent forces. The quiet teacher exerts a profound influence upon his pupils. This influence is the result of personality. Personality Is the sum of one’s felings, purposes and ideals. A great many teachers are born, but a great many more are made. Every teacher has the power of multiplying his personality. By a strong exertion of will we can shorten periods of nervousness and depression and so add to the personality. There are symptoms of weakness which may be treated and result in the destruction of periods of weakness. These symptoms appear in the expression of the face, voice the eye. It is a great thing to be brought into contact with a great personality. The greatest educational factor of the school room is the personality of the teacher.

TUESDAY EVENING. Tuesday night at 7:45 the meeting re-convened and Dr. A. B. Van Ormer delivered an excellent lecture on “Life Dreams,” His talk appealed favorably to his every hearer. Many logical thoughts were presented to the delight of all. WEDNESDAY MORNING. After devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. Wise, of the Evangelical church, Dr. Armstrong delivered an interesting and instructive tive lecture on the subject, “Poery and Patriotism.” He said: There are two ideas which may be taken as a standard of judging the people, patriotism and religion. Patriotism is a natural feeling, he continued, but if it is true that evil people should have a natural feeling of patriotism how much more should we have a love for our country, since we enjoy liberty in its broadest sense. The patriotic who are filled with the spirit are not the highest kind of patriotism. It is time for our young men to stay at home and be patriotic in politics. It is not right to teach our children the spirit because they contain too many accounts of wars. There should be more said about the victory of peace than of the victory of war. This war spirit will not make our patriotism of the highest kind. The American is honest in his private interest but dishonest in politics. It rests with the schools to raise a single standard of honesty which includes both private and public interests. There are things we ought to teach our children about the victories of peace. One of the best ways to get patriotism into the hearts of the children is to teach them patriotic literature. Some poems that every bo/ and girl ought to know by heart are “Scots who have with Wallace bled,” Sir Walter Scott; “Concord Bridge,” Emerson; “Old Ironsides,” Holmes; “The Star Spangled Bpnnetr,” Key; “America,”’ . Smith; “Battle Hymn of Republic,” and others. Music—Three things we must have in our singing: Spontaneity, rythm and joy. Rythm is a physiological matter which waa represented by the

war dance of ancient people. Prof. Raueh presented to the institute a model music lesson for the common school, i n which he demonstrated that the older children should lead the young ones. Prof. Raueh in his music work, gave an outline for the third month's lessons. divided into first and second j halves. Dr. Van Ormer followed in I his lecture, “Mrs. Tree—The Fine Art i of Making Bad.” an instructive and interesting topic. He said: It matters much whether the thing it be told the child is good or bad. It matters very much what we expect of children. Books are destined to work out in the lives of those who read them. With few exceptions a lecture to boys and girls having for its purpose the moral development of the child, goes straight into one ear and out the other. What stays is that which can be pictured, what comes out of a pictured condition, comes out in motor force. The pictured thing is significant. The child does what it ig told not to do, because the prohibited condition becomes pictured in the child’s mind and the “don’t” cannot be pictured. The heredity law is responsible for many things in a Child s life, but the law of suggestion is responsible for vastly more. At this afternoon session the teachers were divided into primary, grammar and high school departments and received specific instructions according to their direct work, three instructors lecturing at the same time and then changing to another class. FROM ACROSS POND

Fred Jaebker and Harry Ward Return to American Soil GONE EIGHT WEEKS Visiting Cities in Belgium. Holland, Germany and France After sojourning in the beautiful i lands across the pond for eight weeks, Fred Jaebker and Harry Ward have ' returned to American soil much re- ■ freshed as a consequence of their delightful trip. While abroad these gentlemen. accompanied by Fred Schafer of this city, visited Interesting historical spots in Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. leaving Antwerp, Belgium August Bth on their homeward trip. However. Mr. Schafer remained in the old country, going from Paris to London. England, from where he will go to Switzerland before his return, which will probably be the 15th of next month. The fact that the climate across the Atlantic was not susceptible to the health of Mr. Ward, who is afflicted with asthma hastened his return. However, after boarding the steamer he felt fine, and Mr. Jaebker claims that he (Ward) gained ten pounds in weight while on the water, which was nine days. After arriving in New York Mr. Jaebker came direct to Decatur, and has resumed his duties at the First National bank, while Mr. Ward went to Petoskey, Mich., to join his family, who are enjoying an outing at the famous resort. Mr. Ward and family will return to Decatur in the near future. o - - THE SOCIAL DOINGS The Thimble Club Enjoys a Picnic at Maple Grove ICE CREAM SOCIAL Many Other Society Events Are Given in These Columns The ice cream social which was to ] have been given last evening at Preble • by the Ladies' Aid Society of the ( Mount Pleasant church at the home of • Mr. R.
