JONES GIVES STUDENT CLINIC
The second day of the Putnam county institute started on the minute
with flesh and blood and made to live. He especially attached the somewhat common habit of teachers assigning
pages from
questions to see if the pupil
learned the pages assigned. He declared that American school children were losing their love for history because it was not made vital. The imagination of the pupil must he cultivated till the life of the period
studied could be vitalized.
Prof. Tilden spoke of^ the changes in the idea of literature and the methods of teaching it that have come in in the last few years. He declared that where formerly literature was thought of chieflv as a thing of beauty, today it was looked upon as an interpreta’ion of life. Its use in the schools is largely for the purpose of j

ENTERTAIN WITH
BIRTHDAY PARTY
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ruab, south of Reelsville, was the scene of an attractive party August Id, planned in honor of the birthday of their daughter, Ina. About thirtyfive young people made the evening an enjoyable one by pitying interesting party games on the lawn. Another noteworthy feature of the ey-n-ing’s entertainment was music, which was furnished by Theodore Raab, accompanied on the piano by Mias Edith Boyd of Terre Haute. Interspersed now and then was the invitation for the happy group to enjoy delicious ice cream and cake. The fact that the young people lacked nothing with which they could have a good time was proof that 'the party was a
on Seminary street and will take possession next week. As to what Mr. Brown will enter into for his next business he has not as yet decided. He stated this morning: “The first loir. ' Mrs, Browning and myself ire going to do is to rest. Ten years in the grohuainess is rather tiresome. One thing thing which has made the work less strenuous,” stated Mr. Browning, “is the kind treatment we have received from people of Grepncastle and Putnam county. They certainly have treated us royally and we regret greatly that we will no longer serve the public in the grocery business.” Mr. and Mrs. Bailey have had a son a student of DePauw University and their youngest son will enter DePauw
this fall. o

yellow-skinned varieties the legs will be bright yellow, but this test cannot be applied to white - skinned breeds such as Orpingtons and Langshans. The early molt and the bright yellow legs indicate that the hen has been a poor layer this summer. If she does not lay now when conditions are favorable then she cannot he expected to lay in fall and winter.” These and many other points of a similar nature will bc brought out at the demonstrations which will mean a great deal to any man or woman that attends them. There they can learn how to pick out the layers from the loafers and also methods of feeding which will mean considerably more
egg money.

mentally in comparison with his physical growth and age; also to determine his mental aptitudes. Dr. Jones insisted that at five years old such diagnosis would show whether a child had musical ability enough to make it worth while to cultivate it or not. The same was true of art and in a general way of all activities of the mind. He repeated that in a few years every city would have an expert to study the mind of each child
in this way.
Dr. Sweet, in his history talk, declared that the leeching of history was still overburdei cd with dates and facts. He stated tVat boys and girls reached college completely disgusted with history because it bad been taught from the memory point of view. He insisted that the aim of history w.i■ to urder 'and the life and movements, politic *1 and social, of past times, and thi could be done while actually me- -rizing very fenfacts. A few centra! facts should ,e learned and historical movements
clustered round those facts.

able. China has lost out entirely on her Shantung claim. By reason af advice given her by the United States, she did not raise at all other questions in which she was interested. And by reason of her refusal to sign the treaty under those circumstances
she is completely isolated.
“When Prof. E. T. Williams, for years head of the state department division of far eastern affairs, heard of the Shantung agreement, he said, ‘this means war,’ and every American expert there felt the same way. I have heard, but do not know whether
interpreting life'to the student and I it is true, that Gen. Bliss’s letter to enlarging his concept of life. the President on the subject contained
a statement to the same effect.”
In their negotiations, Mr. Millard said, the Chinese maintained “the greatest intimacy" with the American delegates, informing them of "ev-
ery move.”
President Wilson Bluffed. President Wilson, he added, after an attempt to get Japan to recede from her Shantung claims, informed the Chinese that the Japanese had taken an uncompromising attitude “amounting to a threat to bolt the conference and the league of nations.” “The President,” added the witness, “seemed to be about the only one who did not think this was a pure bluff on the part of Japan. Chinese delegates told him it wa* on the advice of the United States that the Chinese did not raise questions of extra territoriality, future financial co-operation in China and abrogation of the -twenty or more “regional understandings.” The American government was “fully sympathetic” with China’s stand on these subjects, Mr. Millard said, but thought it might “befog the issue” if matters not directly connected with the peace settlement were in-
troduced.
When the Shantung question arose, President Wilson Mr. Millard said he had been informed, suggested it be left for the league of nations. Japan objecting revealed for the first time the secret agreements by which the allies were to support the Shantung
claims,
