I—— 111 Thursday Afternoon. H “The Study of Poetry,” by Prof. ■Thomas. In this work of tnanhlng, I ■line-tenths of our influence are un■conscious. There are five points to ■be considered In study of poetry, ■first. Our appreciation of external ■htvre wPI be increased It matters ■ft what walks of life we are In, our ■tpowledge of life, our conceptions of ■feb-ro around up, our appreciation oi enlarged by the study afc - ‘ry. Some people see nothing! •■'■Mrs ? round them, but I take oft ■_ • y '' ‘he boy WWdah tfbe beauty j

Anglo-Saxon peoples. It is not possible to read good selections of poetry and not have our knowledge of life intensified. Let me make a nation's ballads and I care not who makes Its laws. More patriotism Is taught the child by'our national songs than In any other way. I hope to see the time come that, when we hear the Star Spangled Banner gnng we will raise instinctively and pay tribute tc the singer and the song. And above I all. through the study of poetry, know 'yourself the better and know the ; higher spirit the better. j Music, Dr? Hanson. The forty-five

HBSLJ - — Iris. Teachers, pay attention to your | school yard and the appearances o£ the building and general condition of [ the premises or do not attempt to l teach manners and morals to youi I children. Sanitation should be upI permost in the mind in fixing school ■ premises in order. Much of our typhoid and other diseases come from (our uncleanllness. No man or woman, however good, can look upon the obscene continually and not at least be scarred. Then see to ft that these obscene pictures are removed from the school premises. Personal appearance' of the teacher Is a great factor In teaching manners and morh als. Meet your children ip their ' homes, take them in a body to some home, get them used to social life and to mingling with each other. The doctor’s talk was one of the most practical benefit to the teachers, as well as entertaining. Friday Morning. Opening song “fftar of Hope,” by W. S. Sutton, Geneva, Ind. Devotion- | al by S. C. Cramer of the city schools. | Song “Holy, Holy, Holy.” Plano duet by the Misses Mutchler. Dr. Ferris | On “The Art of Study.” Too often I we study when we do not study. It r is simply a case of mind wandering, thinking of what happened at the gate last night, and what will possibly happen at the gate tonight. Os. I the time used in so-called study, real- “ ly only about ten per cent, is used in Actual study. The average college i inan if he would make the proper apI•' plication while studying could comI plete his work-in two years instead I of four. Too often the reason for * pupils not being able to study Is that . the teacher is unable to study. To ■ study a lesson first read the lesson over. Assimilate it and make It a r part of yourself. We forget too much I that we read because we read too I much. We become dissipated from I reading too many books the same as I a man becomes dissipated from I drinking too much beer. The difterI ence is one is. mentally disastrous, I the other physically and morally disfl astrous. Second, having read the lesI son over, discover the salient points. | You will never be a student of anyI thing until, when taking a survey of ■ your work, you can see what’s in it. I What made Jay Gould great? The I power of seeipg an entire project in I his mind before he attempted the I mechanical construction. When he I builded a railroad he builded in his I mind long before it actually stretched B across this country of ours. Third, ■ place the minor points around the ■ major points. Fourth, relate the new I points in the lesson to old ideas. A r lesson is of no value except you form new relations. A Friday Morning. (| Music, Dr. Hanson. The dictor gave another of those practical lessons for ' which he is famous. At'the close of k.the lesson Mr. A. Sellemeyer favored } the institute With an excellent cornet solo. , (l . State Superintendent of Public In- [■ struction, Robert j. Aley, addressed . the Institute at this time, his remarks being based upon the course of study I fdr the coming year. He said: You I will not find much change in the course this year. It has been improved from year to year, yet it is not perfect. We find perfection in nothing. Fifteen or twenty years ago we found our school children meeting in houses In which they would not be allowed to enter today. In all I things we are striving to perfection, yet when you see a man who claims .Ito be perfect, keep your hand conj? venlently near your pocket and watch ■ him. He re-emphasized the fact that, | as the teacher is, so the school. If I the school lacks in interest, awaken ■ the teacfter. If the child knows the I underlying principles and fundamen- | tals of a subject he will easily master I the details. Definite (teaching "will I place the child in the attitude of I complete honesty. We want to begin I a campaign for better English. w 4 I have the best language on earth, yet I we seldom know how to, use It. Now I is the time to begin to teach it, not I tomorrow. Waste not a minute. The I only way we can ever get good EngI lish is to get it into the children. I Adults can never become proficient I in the use of English. Rest. / I Prof. Thomas on “The Study of I Fiction.” Good fiction is a represen■jtatlon of life. No problem of today 5 causes so much anxiety as this “Prob*jlem of Life." Every boy, who reads -1 fiction, places himself in place of the 1 I i hero. You should read the novels { written by authors who are endear- 1 b orlng to solve the problem of life in t : a systematic, honest and consoien- • i clous way. Avoid those who seek on- 1 > ly to entertain and arouse the pas- 1 i sions. z - ‘ ' i; NOTES. ,D. B. Erwin was a visitor at then i institute this morning. t p ’; j — s ’ll W. H.

Hite grocery store Friday morning at ten-thirty o’clock and drawing a heavy wagon ,after them they proceeded to Third street turning northward and running at full speed to Jackson street, where they turned east. The frenzied animals dashed along the thoroughfare at a terrific speed and approaching the Breiner feed stable one of the horses plunged into the siding of the barn, breaking the boards off in such a manner as to al’ow it to pass into a box stall, where it was afterward ' captured. The other horse had broken loose before arriving at the barn. While on the rampage the horses ran into a new wagon on Monroe street and broke the spindle. Strange as At may seem the horses escaped uninjured and the only damage done to the wagon was the breaking of the double tree. Luckily no one was injured and but little loss was sustained as a consequence of the runaway. , —o— Attorneys D. E. Smith and J. C. Moran of Decatur, were the speakers a ta picnic given Thursday afternoon i in the Irish settlement in Jefferson i township and they delighted a large l , audience. Following is the program] 1 which was carried out to the completet satisfaction of all present: Music by j the band; ride on merry-go-round; i speeches by prominent speakers in the afternoon; different amusements ’ for the young and old. Ice cream . and refreshments on the grounds. Mr. Smith as well as Attorney Moran, . delivered general (addresses, f were'greatly appreciated by the great crowd. The people residing in the ( Irish settlement enjoy a gala time t each year a picnic and the one oc- . curring yesterday furnished amusement for them and their 'friends. The i Decatur gentlemen returned last ev- [ ening and they state that they were royally entertained. ■ . o- — • Although mysteriously, the public did not become aware until Friday Miss Bertha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. U. Delninger was last Monday evening at 8:30 o’clock united in marriage to Edgar H. Kilbourne, a traveling salesman with headquarters at i Fort Wayne/the ceremony having been performed at the Catholic parsonage. Friends of the couple have , known for some time that the compact existed, but as to the time the i marriage was to take place they were . unaware, hence the announcement ' coming now five days subsequent will j cause no little surprise among the people. The words which made the happy couple man and wife were clev- l erly spoken by the Rev. Father Wil- 1 ken in the presence of only the par- ] ents of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Kil- i bourne left Saturday for a six 1 weeks’ wedding tour in the west,-after ! which they will return to Fort Wayne , for future abode. The bride is a 1 young woman of many attainments. ] She has moved in the best of society j and has enjoyed that popularity which

only comes to those who meritoriously win a place in the esteem of the people. A host of friends extend to the bride and groom well wishes for a prosperous future. The groom has been a traveling salesman for years and is now representing,the PiersonHaugh company or Detroit He is a man of ability and Is admired by a large acquaintanceship who join in offering congratulations. While gone Mr. and Mrs. Kilbourne will visit the exposition ana many other noted places. \ —oMisses Madge and Mary Hite entertained in a, very enjoyable way a company of friends at six o’clock dinner last evening in honor of Miss Fannie Weldy of Chicago, who is visiting here.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 20.—Two Hves were lost and two records broken during the inauguration of the Indianapolis motor speedway yesterday afternoon. William A. Bourque, driver of the Knox car in the 250-mile race, and Harry Holcomb, his mechanician, were killed in the frenzied carnival of speed. Barney Oldfield, driving a high-power Benz, cohered a mile in forty-three and one-tenth seconds, breaking De Palma’s mark of fifty-one seconds, and Chevrolet in a Buick, negotiated ten miles in the marvelous time of eight minutes, fif-ty-six and four-tenth seconds, cutting Oldfield’s time of nine minutes and twelve seconds. Both of these are new American track marks. Robert Burman won the 250-mile race, the feature of the day and the contest that cost Bourque and Holcomb their lives. The winner’s time was four hours, thirty-eight minutes and fiftyseven and four-tenth seconds—slow because of the many accidents that marred the race. The Stoddard-Day-ton (Clements) was second in four hours, forty-six minutes and one and eight-tenth seconds and the National (Men) finished third in four hours, fifty-two minutes and thirty-nine and seven-tenth seconds. Another National, with Kincaid at the wheel, was the only other oar of the ten, starters lo finish the long grind. The death of the two men caused the American Automobile association to ,s«ue an ultimatum to the owners of h’g track that certain changes must be made by today or the sanc-

tion for «the event will be withdrawn. The American Automobile association demands that the track be freed from the many and dangerous ruts; which are said to be unavoidable tn a new track, and that every inch of it be thoroughly oiled and tarred. Today only a short portion in front of the grandstand was oiled, and the dust on the other parts is blamed for the collapse of two drivers in the long race— Louis Chevrolet and Fred Ellis —who were blinded by the dense white mist that covered the major portion of the track. Two records were broken and the first day of the immense track proved fair to be an unqualified success, when a pall was cast over the crow of 12,000 speed-mad spectators by the sudden death of Bourque and Holcomb. The Knox car was in second place with Burman tn his Buick leading and had covered nearly 150 miles when the crash came. While coming down the home stretch the " car suddenly swerved and tore into the fence at the left of the track, turning completely over and pinning its two occupants beneath it Both men were alive when taken from under the ill fated machine, but Bourque died in the ambulance on the way to the Emergency hospital. Holcomb lived a few minutes longer,, but was dead soon after he arrived at the hospital. 1 , — -o - - - —- -

O The (National \MJonthlyi of (which Chairman Norman E. Mack of the Democratic national committee is the 8 editor and publisher, has an article of especial interest to the people of Indiana, in its September number now on the newstands. This article is entitled “The First Lady of Indiana,** ' and, of course, is all about Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, the charming wife of Governor Marshall of Indiana. It is from the pen of Matilda Henderson Whelock and it will be read with interest by every woman in Indiana. Every business interest in the country will be interested in an exhaustive and critical review of “The Corporation Tax,” by Hon. Alton B. Parker, former Chief Judge of the Court JB of Appeals of New York state, which appears in the September numbeyof the National Monthly. What Parker has to say in regard to this new tax on corporations will catry ° weight and as the article was prepared especially for the National Monthly it will be found in no ether publication. Hon. Champ Clark, minority, leader of the House of Representatives, has reviewed the work of the recent tariff region session cf congress for the National Monthly, and this excellent article also appears in the September number. Needless to state the gentleman from Missouri calls a spade a spade. These are but a.few of the many excellent articles to be found in the September number of the National Monthly now on the newstands.
