Tliis Week the Te ichers are lieiHg Taught i'reoaratory to Themselves lieiujj Teachers—The Work Interesting
Items of Interest.
FRIDAY 9:80 A. M.
Devotioaiil exercises were conducted I Rev. Wells, of the Friends' church. Mrs. McRae continued htr subject,
Shakespeare, dwelling particurlarly on the "Tempest." The "Tempest" one of Shakespeare's latest plays. She would not condemn the study of ait at all, but study to know the causes that led to the writing of the theme. Would encourage esthetic feasts as well as feasts for eating. Society should encourage these esthetics for more than is done.
It matters not how beautiful the art in expressing the poem. The question to us should be "what is the message."
It will not do to dwell in the clouds all the while. "We must come down to the earth at times,and dwall in the practical. "Definition of Philosopher, one who occupies a high position in a balloon, while the people oi. the earth are tugging at the strings endeavoring to draw him down.
Woman should ever strive to pieserve her womanliness in all its purity. Fearful may the nineteenth century women have wrong ideas of what their rights should consist in. W, A. Bell, of the Indiana School Journal made a short talk setting forth the special features of his periodical.
Dr. McMurray took up the subject of the "Course of Study." The course of study should be prepared according to the apperception of the child.
Emphasize the teaching of literature in the earlier years of a child's school life. Literature is greatly neglected in the schools. The study of literature begets within us a genuine interest in people. The Doctor followed his introductory remarks with a discussion on advanced Geography. In teaching this subject, the teacher should have a fund of knowledge beyond that found in the lesson at hand. Teach some points, at least, thoroughly well. Be a student yourself, and ever ready to glean thoughts from every avenue possible: Strongly recommends Frye'sand Rand & McNally's series of Geographies as being very helpful to teachers. Present your subjects in a "chain of thoughts." Associated ideas should be kept prominently fixed in the teacher's mind. Nature study may be made a very rich field for both the child and the teacher. W. A. Bell, of Indianapolis, gave a talk on apperception. He created a little meriment by his comical manner in presenting the subject.
FRIDAY 1:15 P. M.
Mrs. McRae took up the subject of The Young Peoples' Reading Circle." She presented the importance of the Reading Circle books prepared for the young people of Indiana. Her closing address was a noble appeal to the teachers to endeavor to cultivate iu the minds of themselves, and the children a love of literature.
Mr. Stephenson, Prof, of History at DePauw University,made a very interesting talk on the subject of "History" presenting a few terse points on the philosoply of that subject. No one can know himself unless he be acquainted with his ancestry. Go back to the history of the race if you would know the history of your day.
Miss Gertrude Bartlow, of Greenfield, favored the audience with a recitation. Dr. McMurray having dwelt on the subject of "Instruction" during the week, now turns his attention to the instructor himself.
The teacher a mo3el for his pupils. He will be imitated by his pupil. Teachers as a class, the most honest of ali classes. Teaching makes a teacher a good man or woman. The teacher responsible, largely, for the career of their pupils in future years. You can't deceive children. The teacner must have a warm, social nature. Be careful in criticising children too harshly. Be free to advise with the children. Teach politeness to the pupil.
The Dr. expressed hope in the true progress of Hancock county's teacher?. Enrollment of teachers 127.
The institute of the week is universally admitted to be one of the most profitable sessions ever held in the County. A general feeling of good will prevails among the teachers. Much credit is due Supt. Jackson for his careful management of this week.
FINIS.
Love, bearing many burdens through tho world. Came to the place where burdens are laid down. Smiling she stretched her patient hands for more. "These things are past," said one, "take now thy crown!"
Love, always humble, when most beautiful, Drew back, as if such guerdon to deplore, To whom the rosy angel softly sighed, "The crown of loving is to love the more." —C. M. Packard in Youth's Companion.
THE CAR GHOST.
All draped with blue denim—the seaside cottage of my friend, Sara Pyne. She asked me to go there with her when she opened it to have it set in order for the summer. She confessed that she felt a trifle nervous at the idea of entering it alone. And I am always ready for an excursion. So much blue denim rather surprised mef'because blue is not complimentary to Sarah's complexion—she always w^ars some shade of red, by p^ference.-* She perceived my wonder'i she is very nearsighted, and therefore sees everything, by-some sort of sixth sense. "You do not like my portieres and curtains and table covers," said she. "Neither do I. But I did it to accommodate. And now he rests well in his grave,- I hope." "Whoso grave, for pity's sak3?" *\3\liv J. BiKingtom Price's." "And who is-he? He doesn't sound interesting. "Then I will tell yon about him'1,"
eilicg particularly on said §ju«, taking a seat directly in front
of one' of those cnrbiins. "Last autumn I was leaving this place for New York, traveling on the fust express train known £s.thp Flying Yankee. Of course I though if of tlie Flying Dutchman and Wagner's musical setting of the uncanny legend, and how different things aie in these days of steam, etc. Then I lodSed out *of the wifcdow at the lahdsctfye, tholibi'izon that seemed to wheel in a great curve as the train sped. Every now and then I had an impression at the kiil *gf the eye' that a man was •sitting in $ -chair three or four nunjtiers in front of me on the opposite side of thecar. Each time that I saw this shape I lookeJ at the chair and ascertained that it was unoccupied. But it'^gas an odd tiick of vision. I raised rS^ lorgnette, and the chair showed emptier than before. There was nobody in it certainly. But. the mere I knew that |t was-vacant flie more plainly I saw the man, always with the corner of my
It made me nervous. "When passengers entered the car, I dreaded lest they might take that seat. What would happen if they should? A bag was put in the chair—that made me uncomfortable. Th&jJjag was removed at the next station. Then a baby was placed in the seat. It began to laugh as though some one had gently tickled it. There was something odd about that chair—13 was-its number. When I looked away from it, tho impression was strong upon me that some person sitting there \vas watching me. "ReaMy, it would not $'o to humor such fancies. §o I touched the- electric button, asked the porter to bring me a table, and taking fiom my bag a pack of cards proceeded to .divert myself with a game of*patience. I was puzzling to put a seven of spades. Where can it go?' I murmured to myself. A voice behind me prompted, 'Play the four of diamonds on the five, and you can do it.' I started. The only occupants of the car besides me were a bridal couple, a mother with three little children and a typical preacher of one of the straitest sects. Who had spoken? 'Play up thte four, madam,' repeated the voice. I looked fearfully over my shoulder. At first I saw a bluish cloud, like cigar smoke, but inodorous. Then the vision cleared, and I saw a young man whom I knew by a subtle intuition to be the occupant, seen and not seen, of chair No. 13. Evidently he was a traveling salesman—and a ghost. Of course a drummer's ghost sounds ridiculous— they're so extremely alive! Or else you W€rtml esipect a dead drummer to b'e particularly dejid and not 'walk.' This was a most commonplace looking ghost, cordial,' pushing? businesslike. At the same time his face had an expression of utter despair and horror which made him still more preposterous. Of course it is not nice to let a stranger speak to one, even on so impersonal a topic as a foui^jf diafironds. But a ghost—there can't be any rule of etiquette about talking with a ghost! My dear, it was dreadfu 1. That forward creature showed me how to play all the cards and then begged me to lay them out again, in order that he might give me some clever points. I was too much amazed and disturbed to speak I could only place the cards at l$s suggestion. This I did so as notio appear to be listening to the empty "air and be supposed to be a crazy woman. Presently the ghost spoke again and told mp his story. 'Madam,' lie said, 'I have been riding back and'^orth jon this car ever since Feb. 22, 189*—, seven months and 11 days. All this time I have not exchanged a word with any one. For a drummer that is pretty hard, you r5ay believe. You, know the story of the Flying .Dutchman? Well, that is very nearly my case. A curse is upon me and will not be removed until some kind soul—. But I'm getting ahead of my text. That day there "tfere four of us, traveling for different houses. One of the boys was in wool, one in baking powder, one in b.oots and shoes and myself- in cotton goods. We met on the road, took se ts together and fell into talking shop. Those fellows told big lies about their sales, Washington's birthday though it. was. The baking powder man raised the amqunt of the bills of goods which he had sold better than a whole can of his stuff could have done. I admitted the straight -truth that I had not yet been atile to make a sale. And then I sword —not in tf light minded, chipper style cf verba Wriinmings, but a great, round, Leaven defying oath—that I would sell case of blue denims on "that trip if it
t6ok*me forevei". We became dry with talk, and when the train stopped at Riveimouth we went Out to have some beer. It is good there, you know—pardonkne, I forget that I speaking to a lady. Well, we had to run to ge£ aboard. I missed my footing, fell under the wheels, and the next thing that I knew they were holding an inquest over ..iv remains, while I, disembodied, was sitting on a corner of the undertaker's table, wondering which of the coroner's jury was likely to want a case of blue denims. 'Then I remembered my wicked oath and understood that I was a soul doomed to wander until I c-onld succeed in selling that bill of goods. I spoke once or twice, offering the denims under value, but nobody noticed me. Verdict: Accidental death, by negligence of deceased. Railroad corporation not to blame. Deceased got out for beer at his own risk. The other drummers took charge Q£ fho refuaiiitJ and wrote a beautiful" lester to my relatives about my social qualities and my impressive conver^afjitfu. I wish it had been less impressive that time. I might have lied ajiout my sales, or I might have said that hoped f$r better luck. But after that oath there was nothing for it. Back and forth, back and forth, on this road, in chair No. 13, to all eternity. Nobody sasjiects my presence. They sit on my knees—-I'm playing in luck when it is a nice baby, as it was this afternoon! They pile wraps, bags, even railwaj lit'era.^RO c^rfcrne. They play cards under my nose—and what duffers some of them are! You, madam, are the first person who has perceived me, and therefore I~ entered tg*speak to you, meaning no offense. I can see that you are sorry for me. Now, if ycu recall the story of the Flying Dutchman, he was saved by ij-hc% charity of a good woman. In fact, Senta married him. Now I'm not asking anything of that size. I see that you wear a Redding ring, and no doubt you make soone man's happiness, wasn't, a Harrying man myself and maturKlIy am not. a marrying ghost. And that has nothing to do with the matter anyway. But if you could—I ddn't stegosfe you wo\ild have any use fgt £he^i--i-?j,ut if you ^vere disposed to do a turn of goad, solid Christian char--ity—I should be everlastingly grateful, and you may have that case of denims at $72.50. And that quality is quotod today at $80. Does it go, madam?' "The speech of the poor ghost was not very eloquent, but his eyes had an iitelf%,, eagejf'glare which was terrible. Something—^'•pity, fear, I do not know what—compelled me. I decided to do without that white and gold evening cloak. Instead I gave $72.50 to the ghost and took from him a receipt f?a the sum, signed J. Billington Price. Then he smiled contentedly, thanked me with emotion and returned to chair No. 13. Several times on the journey, although I did not perceive him again,f I felt dazed. When the train arrived at 'Yjjilc I, ^vith ''tlie other passengersr dismounted, it seemed to me that a strong hand passed under my elbow, steadying me down the steps. As I walked tlie Jeugth of the station my bug— yot heaA-.y at any time—^appeared to bfecowie Sightless. I believe that the parlor car ghost walked beside me carrying the bag, whose handle still remained in/jny other hand. Indeed once or twice I thought I felt the touch of cold fingers against mine. Since then I have no reason- to suppose that the poor ghost is not at rest. I hope he is. "But I never expected or wished for the blue denims. The next day, however, a dray belonging to a great wholesale house backed up to our door and delivered a case of denims, with a receipted bill for the same. What was I to do? I could not go about selling blue denims. I could not give them away without exciting comment. So I furnished the cottage with them, and you know the effect on my complexion. Pity me, dear! And credit me, frivolous woman as I am, with having saved a soul at the expense of my own vanity. My story is told. What do you think about it?"—Elizabeth Pullen. in New York Advertiser,.
Fir# Apparatus En American Colonies. Tlie early fettlers in America paid ifo attmititifi tpwajrd protecting themselves against fire, and the different colonies had grown into fair sized communities with several industries well established before any steps were taken in that direction. About the earliest mention of a defini^-in'fethod of 'fire protection was made at Ssflem, Mass., in 1044, when each inhabitant was ordered to be supplied with a ladder under penalty of a fine of 5 shillings. These ladders were undoubtedly made in Snlem or in the immediate vicinity, and one might readily say that here began an American induslhrT that is now carried on so exteiy=%iv§|^ii lusiiy places and under amultitude of different forms. In 1648 four fire wardens were appointed in New' York city. Th^se men passed a law to fine every one wkose chimney becantfe fohl or whos^hoijp was burned by his own carelessness. The money so obtained was to be used in the purchase of ladders, hooks and buckets. These were not provided, however, until some years later.
Boston also took steps in this direc-' tion, and on the first day of the twelfth month of l(i53, or, by tho modern method of Computation, on Feb. 1, 16o4, the following entry is found in the town*)records: "The selectmen have power and liberty heretjy to agieo with Joseph Jynks for Ingins tg Carry water in Case of fire if {-bey see Cause sde to doe."—John G. Morse in Popular Science Monthly.
