STILL INTERESTING 11 Continued from first page. ence. We will become all we are by J experience. Partial roll call. After a rest the institute sang 1 “America." Prof. Cozine then took ; up the subject ot ■'music.” "1 wish to speak to you this morning about j the use and earn of our voices The teacher’s voice ought to be the best voice in the world. He then gave a drill in voice culture. S}>eak naturally and sing naturally for it is more affective. Teach your pupils to breathe through the nostrils, for breathing through the mouth is raining more voices than any other thing. Don't permit the child to sing when it has a hoarse voice. He told of some things to be done in > case of a hoarse voice. Some nature songs were then sung by the insti- i tute, after which a n imber of music pamphlets were distributed through the institute, using them in a singing exercise. Next subject. "Nature Study by Prof. Neet. I wish to continue the idea of energy. Energy discharges itself in the child in six or seven different ways. The child up to the age of six should not lie surpressed in muscular activity. Education of the child today is attempted too much by suppression and not enough by direction. Why do the children of teachers turn out so badly?

Their education has been due to repression rather than direction. The teacher suppresses when he or she should direct. The avenues to the soul is through the senses. The nature study is necessary pedagogically and it is coming into every school whether we like to teach it or not. The child likes to talk up to about fourteen years of age, as I , have said in a former talk, and for this reason language lessons ought to lie taught during this time. And if a child has not habits of using good English at the age of fourteen, he never will have them. He then gave the teachers instruction as to what to select for language lessons, which would cause a large amount of muscular exericse. 1 believe the time is coming when writing, reading. spelling, etc., will be incidental instead of the main subjects as they are today. What is nature study? It is a study of the natural things around us. The child is interested in the things around it. Therefore the teacher should feed the child with the knowledge of the things in which it is interested. Roll call and adjournment until 1:30. INSTITUTE NOTES. N.

The case of state vs Gus Schlegel was dismissed this afternoon, as George Zimmerman the prosecuting wilu< so, failed to appear Gns was charged with drawing a deadly weapon, and in ease the suit had been tried he would have instituted further proceedings against Zimmerman. A writer has made a scientific study of lynchings. and here are some of his figures. The numlier of persons lynched in the United States the last twenty-one years np to January 1, 1903 is 3,233. There are 105 unaccounted for in the race table which says that the numtier of negroes lynched during the period named was 1,872 and the numlier of whites 1,256. Os the total numlier lynched sixty-one were women, thirty eight colored and twenty three white. The most lynchings occurred in the years 1884 and 1892, the large number in 1884 being due to the work of the Vigilantes in Colorado and Montana for depredations on property. In 1892 the lynchings were chiefly in the South. Only about thirty-five per cent of the negroes lynched in the South were killed for assaults on women. During the twenty one years 623 lynchings were in the West, about forty-three per cent for murder. Since 1892 there has been a steady decrease in the number of lynchings, remaining more numerous in the south.
