GATHER HEW IDEAS

The Annual County Institute in Session At the High School Building and Attendance" is Very Good.

The school teachers of Hancock county are here today and will be here all this week to gather new ideas about school wqpk to take with them and put into practice at the coming term that begins in two weeks.

The annual institute opened at 10 o'clock Monday morning with a fine attendance of teachers and some visitors and the work of the institute is starting off nicely.

Monday Morning Session. Institute convened at 10 o'clock a. m. with the singing of the songs, "Come Thou Almighty King," and "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Supt. George J. Richman read the 22d and 23d Psalms, depicting the sorrows and joys of King David. Prayer was offered by Mr. Richman. Then followed the election of officers. Mrs. Alice Glascock was chosen as enrolling secretary Edna Trittipo, recording secretary, and Sherman Rothermel as financial secretary.

Dr. Elson, one of the instructors, was unable to be present today, but will be on duty tomorrow. Mr. Richman then introduced Prof. Chubb, of Ohio University.

Dr. Chubb said: "While I am not able to say, as the young preacher upon returning to his former home, 'I am glad to see so many familiar faces with whom I used to shake hands,' but as I have been an institute instructor in Indiana for the past eleven years, I do not feel that I am a stranger." He then chose for his subject, "The Aim in Teaching Literature."

Dr. Chubb then gave a masterful discussion of this important branch of study. By many illustrations, and examples, he showed that after all, the true aim in the study of literature is the literature itself. He said poetry should not be ground to pieces, word by word, but it should be swallowed whole.

During his talk the speaker showed himself to be a thorough master of the subject under discussion.

As usual, one of the most noticeable features of this year's institute is the large number of new faces to be seen in the ranks of the teachers. Each year many of the older teachers drop out of the profession to engage in other lines of business, or for some other reasion. Their places are gradually being filled by the younger generation.

Monday Afternoon Session. The afternoon sesion of the institute convened at 1:15 by the audience singing "There's Music in the Air." Then Dr. Chubb announced as his subject, "The Religious Element in Poetry." He said: "First, what is the meaning of poetry? Wordsworth has said,

4Poetry

4Abou

is the breath and finer

spirit of knowledge.' After the scientists, the geologists and the chemists have studied, examined and investigated thoroughly, it is the poet who takes this knowledge and puts it into a refined and sublimated form, called poetry. "By religion we do not mean sectarianism, nor, denominationalism. For, although we find that in the United States there are about one hundred and fifty different denominations. We also find that on the great fundamental questions we are universally one. The differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, or Unitarianism and Trinitarianism are so small we cannot tell what that difference is. "All men worship a God of some kind. It may be the true God, or it may be a stone or even an animal. We find that Greece was preeminent in literature and in religion. Rome was a mere copyist of Greece. In these countries we find the greatest of cathedrals. We see that man's mind of that age was turned toward religion, as also were the poems of that age. "All through Burns' poems we find two main ideas, that of man's relation to God, and man's relation to man. One man has said: 'How can a man love, God whom he has not seen, when he does not love his neighbor whom he has seen?' "Leigh Hunt, in the short poem,

Ben Adhem and the Angel,'

teaches the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. All through the poems of Lord Byron, Keats and Wordsworth, we find a deeply religious spirit, so we see that literature and religion are very closely related. Tennyson's and Browning's poems also deal with religion to a great extent. Browning has said, 'Literature is the great expression of the great

thought of the great topic of the day.'" g| •••'-. Dr. Chubb chose for the topic of his second lecture, "How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day." He said: "No doubt you have all read articles on how to live on six hundred dollars per year, or on some similar amount, but I doubt if you have ever read an article on 'How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day.' One great thing about time is that we all have the same amount of time. No difference how much time we may waste or squander today, we all know that on the morrow we shall all have the same amount again. Very unlike money. Now the question is, 'How are you using it?' By a careful study of time, we usually find that all of the twenty-four hours is not in use. We all have a universal desire for self improvement. So let u? 'jse a little time each day for that purpose. If we need that time for absolute rest, use it for that purpose. This disease of hurry and worry, called 'Americanitis,' is a disease that brings on nervousness, nervous prostration, insanity and suicide. Get out of the habit of always being in a hurry. Do like the old fisherman and guide up in the Maine woods, who, when asked what he did in the winter when all the people had gone home, replied: "Oh, sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit!'"

Tuesday Morning Session. Institute convened at 9:30 a. m. by singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and "Flag of the Free." After the singing of these songs, Prof. Elmer Andrews conducted the devotional exercises. Mr. Andrews read from John 13:1-20, which gives a picture of the great humility of the Master, in washing the feet of his disciples.

County Supt. George J. Richman then arose and said: "We are fortunate in having with us this week a man who is not only a writer and lecturer, but also a maker of history. Fellow teachers, I take great pleasure in introducing to you, Dr. H. W. Elson, of Ohio University." Dr. Elson gave as his subject the "Development of Democracy and Nationality in the United States." He said: "My object this week is to lead you into a deeper interest and love of the affairs of this country. Some people do not like history because it is too dry, they say. I'll admit that history may seem dry to those who do not study it in the right way. History is the study of humanity, and every one is interested in humanity. "After all, the botanist or the geolpgist or the astrologist is more interested in humanity than he is in the plants, the soil or the stars. "If a botanist were searching through the woods and should come upon a babe, all the interest in his- plants would instantly give way to his interest in the babe. If a geologist were digging in the ground and should come upon the skeleton of a human body, he would forsake the soil to examine the bones."

Here the speaker told the story of some men who went to seek their fortunes in the gold fields of California in 1849. These men went out and were gone from the sight of other men for two years. At last they returned to the growing town of San Francisco. They attended a theater that night. As the orchestra began to play, a baby began to cry. One of the hornyhanded old miners shouted, "Hey, stop that orchestra so I can hear that baby cry I ain't heard a baby cry for over two years."

Continuing, the speaker said: "Going back to the origin of government, we find that the law is for two purposes, namely: to restrain men from harming each other, and to do for the individual what he can not do for himself. Society unites to build streets, sidewalks, bridges and schoolhouses, etc. The jury system is the most important thing England has given the system of laws. In the olden times the= King was absolute monarch, and was the judge in all cases of controversy. As he was too busy this in time gave way to the system of trial by 'ordeal,' where the accused was required to walk barefooted over red-hot coals. If he escaped unburned he was innocent. "This, ^in time, gave way to the practice of calling in twelve men who were personally acquainted with the case in question, and then have them give their testimony. As it was hard to get twelve men wTho were acquainted with the case, it became the custom of having twelve men who know nothing whatever of the case, to gather and hear the testimony, of other witnesses. Thus we have our present day jury system. Many of our state systems are borrowed from the English. The township, county, sheriff, etc., are the results of our copying English customs. "Our National Government, however, is not borrowed from the

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1912

English, altogether, but is the product of America The speaker used may illustrations showing the superiority of our system of laws over those of other countries. His talk was greatly appreciated by the teachers and visitors.
