THE THIRD DAY Continued from first page. mind before it becomes a reality. This being a fact the teacher is re-' sponsible to a great extent for what , is accomplished and what is not accomplished in this world. Put the mental toil back of everything so it certanily pays to fully develop the mental power. The third, the moral department. There is some thing that comes up in the conscience of the child that causes it to say “don't.” Ever keep that keen feeling alive in the child Fourth, the spiritual department. Man is a spiritual animal. He always has some form of belief or religion. If that religious spirit exists in the child should it not lie brought, out. Only by complete symmetrical development of the physical, mental, moral and religious avenues can he become a completed man. Fear God and keep his commandments. There is a time in the life of the child for the development of avenues, and if not develojied at that time they c*n never be completely developed. There is also a time to develop the memory imagination of the child, and if not develojied at the proper time it becomes crippled. When a change takes place in the mental cell there is a change in the physical cell for lite. Rev. Allen stated during his talk that we commonly say, let the child wait till he is 26 before entering the university, but this idea is a mistake as the child is already crippled at that age. The lecture was certainly a profitable one. Prof. Cozine postponed his subject until some other time and instead gave some practical hints but first required the institute to sing a song. "The first thing I would have in the school room is a complete organization. A literary for instance; grant them the privilege of electing their own officers. Have a few entertainments where the jiarents can see what their children are doing. This, of course, does not aid them in 1 their studies but it gives the child an inspiration in school work. Sec- 1

ond, I would have a plan for my work. Nothing great can be accomplished without a definite plan. Third. I would have a large number of side helps that keep monotony out of the school. Something that will give them a rest." He closed his talk by asking the teachers to wear a flower to the institute tomorrow. After a song Prof. Lowden began by a continuation of the subject “Philosophy of Education." He now proceeded with idea of endeavor. "Endeavor resembles, to a great extent, the movement process of becoming accomodation, adaptation, growth and development. Endeavor is specific process by which it maintains life. The iron rail has no endeavor. The plant has endeavor because it struggles to maintain itself. The animal life has a greater endeavor than the plant endeavor. Endeavor is that protective element that it has to maintain life. Endeavor has a practical value in the school room. The spirit of endeavor must be in the school. lam inclined to believe *hat the teacher today aids the child when the child could aid itself and become stronger by its endeavor. The teacher should never aid a child when the child, by earnest, sincere effort, can do that work for itself. The teacher who is doing that kind of teaching is teaching what I term a sweetened water teaching.” Noon. Gus R isenthal will present to the most popular county teacher a handsome dress suit case. Each cash purchase of ten cents permits the purchaser to east one vote tor his or her favorite. The vote at three o’clock this afternoon stood as follows: William Jackson 511| C. E.
