At 9:30 o’clock this morning in the annex of the M. E. church, Supt l Opliger called to order the annual teachers institute. For opening exercises the institute joined in sing-1 ing that grand old son, “Holy, Holy, Holy.’’ Devotional exercises by the Rev. Lewis C. Hessert In a few well chosen remarks Supt. Opliger welcomed the teachers and, in brief, outlined the work of the week. Dr. Ferris, of Ferris Institute, Big Rapids, Mich., was Introduced who lectured upon the subject of Arithmetic. In part he said: There are peo- • pie living today who think arithmetic fa the most. important subject taught in the schools. What the people of today need is an awakening. If the superintendent of schools attempts to do this the people consider him radical. Numbers should not be placed ahead of everything else as is some-

If you teach 1 arithmetic eight years in the school and then send out students who can add, subtract, multify and divide accurately, it is something new. The -trouble is we teach numbers until the child is mathematically paralyzed. | The child just entering school is not j ready for arithmetic. Give the child • time to get ready for numbers and he will do as much work in four years as it would in eight years if started unprepared. The price of keeping a thing is using it Not one in ten can write a promisory note that will stand all legal tests. To many things are taught in our schools that are not needed. Teach the things that are needed and nothing that is not needled by the child. The business man will never need many of the things that are taught in the schools in numbers, so we make a mistake in teaching them to the child. We sometime must go against public sentiment but we should be true to our convictions and win the, public to our way of thinking. When the child enters i school he knows all that is necessary I for him to know in numbers. But when the child needs to know things 'in numbers, he can master them in one-half the time it would otherwise take. After a rest Dr. Hanson, of Wil.liamsport, Ind., was Introduced whose work for the week will be upon music. He offered these thoughts: Music should be taught in every school, more especially in the rural schools. Music can be used as a means to bring about results in many lines. A good song service in the morning is a good antidote for tardiness. Practical lessons were given by the Dr. by use of songs. In this work the Dr. showed his skill and ability as a musician and a leader. The next speaker to be introduced was Prof. Charles Swain Thomas of Newtonville, Mass., who lectured upon the subject of English teaching. Some thoughts dropped by the Prof, were: In direct contrast to what Dr. Ferris has said of arithmetic I would say you cannot begin the study of English too early in life. One trouble with the teacher in teaching Euglish is that the teacher himself does not know good English. It makes no difference what subject you ' are teachifig, you are also teaching I English. You must be on guard at I all times that the forms of English used in childhood do not crop out in our conversation. There is no law in grammar that holds good in all kinds of tongue. There are many occasions where these laws must be changed. Only a person who is perfect in the use of English has a right to make an Inflexible law of grammar. There is no law of grammar that may not in course of time be changed, by recogauthorities Constantly fusing! new forms. In the rules handed down by the school officials this fact should be remembered and the outlines should be considered as suggestions and not laws. The teacher should use his best judgment in handling the child, leaving out that which is too' difficult and using only that which is good for the child. Good reading does not counsist in simply being able to pronounce words, but the test should be, can the child get the thought The child does not like to think, but it is our business as teachers to make them think. To be able to interset the child, you must first be interested. You cannot get the children to see things without you yourself being able to see them. We deal too much with the intellectual side of life and not enough with the emotional. Let us be satisfied with the "approach to perfection,” and not demand perfection, for we too often forget our own Imperfections and expect too much frpm the child. -—; ■ . —o———- . ■ - Regardless of excessive warmth of the atmosphere a fair sized audience gathered at M. E. church Sunday evening where a most inspiring musical and literary program was dispatched to the complete satisfaction of all. Promptly at 7:20 o’clock Hamrick’s clever orchestra rendered two beautiful overtures as the audience’ assembled and at 7:30 with Prof. J, C. • •> ' -

, Tritch presiding, the program proper was auspiciously opened by the rendition of an organ prelude by Mr. Harold Heneford, a college youth whose musical attainment is far above the average. Following, a hymnal was sung after which prayer was offered by Morris Hay. Lesson from the Psalter was then read followed by a song by the congregation. Attorney C. L. Walters was then introduced, and presenting as his theme “First Impressions,” he launched into a discourse which was replete with oratory and logical thoughts. Every possible phase of the subject was delineated ably and effectively by the attorney and his talk met with’ favor among his auditors. A vocal solo, “Sharing His Sorrows,” from "The Resurrection" was then rendered by R. Earl Peters, after which the Hon. D. E. Smith disecoursed upon the subject “The Bi- . ble and the Law.” The striking reL lationship between the two was vividly exemplified, and Attorney Smith ’ demonstrated how the Bible and the 1 law go hand in hand in the mission I for the betterment of humanity. He i paid a fitting tribute to the Bible, the • pulpit and to all the agencies which i have to do with the welfare of the 1 Christian church and he then from a . moral viewpoint demonstrated the ; good influences which find inception | from the fundamental laws of the i state and nation. Attorney Smith said i many good things, as he always does and his talk was highly appreciated. After the singing of a hymn, benediction by John W. Vail closed the very interesting services and as the audience dispersed the orchestra consisting of ten pieces rendered beautiful selections. The meeting was a marked success. z o—— Mrs. William Schamerloh of Union township, has been in ill health for several years the trouble finally being diagnosed as gait stones, from which relief could come only from an operat’on. The operation was finally agreed upon and Drs. McOscar of Fort Wayne and Clark & Clark of this city performed the same Monday morning, and three large stones wer removed. The patient was on the operating table for a considerable Umej but notwithstanding her weakened condition she rallied and showed no bad effect She is very weak and it will take good care and nursing to bring her back to the health enjoyed in years gone by. Should the next few days show no decline her family and friends win be greatly encouraged and have hopes of her ultimate recovery. The operation was not in the least dangerous, and only the weak condition of the patient makes the case at all critical The many friends of the Schapaertoh family are hoping that Mrs. Schamerloh will rapidly recover and that she soon will be able to take her place in the many circles of society to which she has so long been accustomed. *— o After going through the red tape in all the departments of tie ClOVer Leaf and Erie railroads, the matter has at last been officially settled, and Smith ABall, Decatur’s shippers and wholesalers in all the best grades of > hardwood lumber will .put In an exteni sive lumber yards in this city the ! same to be used for the re-shipping t and re-loading of their product The i yards will be located between the Cloi ver Leaf and Erie tracks, just west i of the Decatur Produce plants. Work i upon arranging the ground for coni ventiently handling and taking care . of the vast number of shipments will i be begun at once and before many more weeks the yards will be in full operation. It will be a great advantage to this company and at the same time means an increase in the shipping out and in from all the roads in this city, and it means also the em» ployment of several men to handle the lumber and sort it for distribution to their many customers who are located in most all directions. A great deal of it goes east, while Detroit and many other cities buy extensively from the Decatur shippers. Smith & Bell are among the large distributing agents in the lumber Industry, having grown from the small mill industry until now they take care of all the output of many of the large mills in the country, The yards in this city will better fit them for taking care of the trade. —o !— |r j. The mysterious disappearance of Miss Minnie Blazer, a lass of fifteen summers, and her failure to return to her Decatur home and parents for five long weeks, is causing Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Blazer no littfe worry. They have come to that point Whore they Win solicit the aid of officers in ascertaining the whereabouts of the young girl It hardly sedias probable that the young girt would divorce herself from her home and parents were not other parties interested in her elopement and It is thought'that she was enticed away from Decatur by a man whose identity is unknown. The officers In the various surroundi Ing towns will be notified and the description of the girt given In an effort to return her to her home. Should she bo found in the company

r of the person it is hinted she is with, - he will be prosecuted to tho fullest “. extent of the law upon the charge i Jof The Blasers claim a they have made a great effort to los cate the girl for five weeks and that I their efforts have been unsuccessful » and that she is not visiting with any i fit their relatives, hence the officers r will be called upon to take up the , search. t o The Barkley reunion is scheduled r this year for a session at Steele’s 9 park in this city for September 15. I Our people well know what a Barkley r reunion means. Nothing short of the 3 gathering of something less than one 3 hundred relatives that belong in some ’ manner to the Barkleys and they , yearly gather together and devote a i day to the real enjoyment of getting - well acquainted and the having of -a fine social time. They have been • at this for several years, and the ori ganization permanent one, with > this year Henry Barkley as president, i and Ethel Barkley as secretary, and > cards have already been sent out noti- > fying the many Barkleys that their i yearly conclave is arranged for the > 16th of September. There is no ques- : tion of an attendance any more, as these yearly meetings have become i so famous and they have such good times, that the matter* of attendance is never in doubt. It will be a happy time and those who so favored as to belong to this large and happy family are assured of a good time on the day mentioned. . -.I -" ' ,1 '> 0.. ; .... T. M. Gallogly, chairman of tie Democratic city committee, informs us that he will call the city committee for a meeting some time the first of next month, at which time they will decide the time and issue a call for the nomination of candidates for city officers. The election comes on the second day of November, and it is thought that the committee will name a day some time the middle of next month for the primary, and in that evqnt it Will leave six or seven weeks for the campaign, plenty long enough to thresh out the issues that will come up for solution at that time. The offices to be filled at the election on November 2, is mayor, clerk, treasurer and five councilmen, one each for the three wards, and two at large. Candidates are being more or less discussed, but those who will be in the race will not be known to a certainty until the committee issues the call and the primary campaign is opened. The Republicans have made no arrangements for their nominations and a careful inquiry drew no light upon the subject They as yet have taken no action and likely will not until after the Democrats make their seI lections.

I IT WAS A HIGH PRICED PORKER 1 - ’ Fred Reppert Had a Good Hog Sale i ' In Ohio Yesterday. > i Fred Reppert cried a hog sale in [ Ohio Thursday and sold a measly ’ looking old Duroc for the Insignificant ’ sum of >2,790. That is going some, but fortunately it wasn’t sold by the • pound and the price is no indication of the price of pork on tne counter in the average market Eleven dollars a pound would be a little high for i pork, so smile up dear people, the » hdg was a show critter, bought for. i speculative purposes, and at the price . named will doubtless make its owner ’ lots of the long green.

The case is entitled • Decatur Horse Company vs. Henry 9 Koeneman and as we go to press ati torueys for both sides are battling i l tor supremacy. The horse in contror versy wan add to the Decatur Horse

- ir wr u t is alleged, said the animal was per* 9 fectly sound. McNear was the successful bidder, and after getting it - home he discovered that the animal t was mooneyed. The condition was fel lated to the Horse Company mpnagpr ’ ment, and they purchased the horto i back at the original price. They then ( demanded a settlement from Koeneman and the failure to bring about an amicable settlement was the inl centive for the action in which dami ages in the amount of 8125 is asked. . The trial was heard by Squire ' Stone and a jury of six, consisting i of Messrs. T. C. Corbett, Huber Dei VoSe, Charles Railing, *fEd Augen- > baugh, Mr. Ripley and John Smith. The plaintiffs were represented by i Shafer Peterson, the defendant by D. [ E. Smith, and a real legal controversy ’ has ensued. i o—-—— ———— i Prof. John B. Dutcher, a former De* catur resident, who has made his own i way in the educational world, by his push and grit and close attention to his studies, has accepted a very lu- • crative position as Instructor in phy--1 sics at the Indiana State university and is now moving his family from Philadelphia to that city, where he will likely be located for several years; The offer carnet JansoHcited ' and was quite a surprise. Prof. Dutcher is a graduate from Bloomington and has also served as instructor there, so that the trustees are not experimenting when they employ him. For a year past he has been located at Philadelphia, where the taught a class in Pennsylvania college, one of the greatest of the east He had expected to complete the course there, but the offer from the Indiana university was too good to turn down and has therefore been accepted by Mr. Dutcher. His Decatur friends Will be highly pleased to learn of his continued success. —- -o ——— . The belief here that Fort Wayne moneyed interests were flirting with the proposition of subscribing stock sufficient to Induce the Coppock Motor Car plant to move front this city to Fort Wayne, were strengthened by an article in this morning’s JournalGazette, which said that 8150,000 would easily be subscribed there for the removal of the plant to that city. This but emphasizes what has many times been said that should Decatur not rally to the support of this excellent business Institution that Fort Wayne will get It It also supports the Motor Car company in their campaign, designed for no other purpose . only the keeping of the plant in this i city. The company want to stay here, as the stockholders are mostly home business men and are interested in building up the commercial interests of the city. The company have threshed out all the kinks, surviving , the experimental stages through which all manufacturing Institutiena I have to pass, and they have done this on a capital at this time of but sixty thousand dollars. It takes lota > money for the successful management t of this business and the one hundred ! thousand dollars they now propose to ■ raise will enable them to manufacture » a stated output for the trade of 1910. i It is no longer a matter of sale, as • the cars are practical in every way, and are in demand, and any time the j company are in a position to guaran* ■ tee the manufacture of any number of t cars the company can have the conl tracts for the sale of them. It is not , now a matter of experiment with the I Coppock Motor Car company, but a , simple question of raising sufficient I capital for their manufacture. —o—i John Manley, who has a room over • the Grand theater, had a narrow es- • cape Monday and one that he will > not soon forget J. W. Bosse, the opera house man and owner of the Grand also had a close call, though i he did not realize the fact at the time. At stated Mr. Manley has a i room over the Grand, and to reach it he has to enter the theater proper. Yesterday he went away a few moi ments anti unthoughtedly |efb the ■ door opelb-a tew inches. When he re- ; turned he pushed the door open a , big black dog, leaped at him. He » sprang back and tried to persuade i or drive the dog away from the door, i but the animal was wild, frothing at i the mouth and refused to allow Man- ’ ley to com» near, snapping at hlin i a number of times, but missing him. ■ Finally John decided to hunt the i marshal, and returning with thst of- “ fleial ten minutes later, found the i dog lying in the piano pit, as dead as ; a mackerel. In to® meantime, Mr. Bosse, wishing to get some slides from the picture show, entered the > building and passed within a foot of where the dog was lying. The room • irta daric add had the canine not been dead, Mr. Bosse would have no doubt ; been a victim to the mad brute. The • dog was mad without doubt, and the I men are thankful they did not come ’ in contact with his teeth. There are • at present a number of’ dogs runntai i loose about Decatur without muzzles.
