TOWNSHIP TEACHERS. Interesting Program is Given at their Regular Monthly Meeting. Lincoln township teachers convened in institute at Ilie high school building in Walkerton, Sept. 28. Rev. Stockbarger conducted the opening exercises. II is subject, “Truth and how it may be known,” was very interesting. He also spoke of the necessity of being able to recognize error. In D. E. Rnpel’s discussion of “Method” he gave a concise account of Herbart’s ideas of education, contrasting them with those of other prominent educators. “Language” was presented by A. D. Swank. Miss Rose Millard gave a biograph ical sketch of Shakespeare, and an account of the drama in its successive stages. In the afternoon Mr. Thatch er, of Valparaiso, entertained the teachers and visitors with a description of his relief maps ot the continents. “Numbers,” by B. L. Steele, was quite instructive and led to a lively argument. Miss Lulu Nichols favored the institute by reciting a choice selection. Elmer Sneathen read a very good paper on the “Nature and effects of Alcoholic Drinks.” After the assignment of duties for next meeting the institute adjourned to meet in five weeks. Secretary. Magazines Rudyard Kipling makes his last appearance as a teller of Jungle Stories in The Cosmopolitan for October. “Mowgli Leaves the Jungle Forever,” and the curtain is drawn over one of the most charming conceits in literature. In the same number in which ' Mowgli makes his tinal adieux, appears lor the first time before an American audience, the now famed Richard Le Gallieuuu in n plea for religion under the title of “The Greatness of MnnT”" A very important paper on “State Universities” is contributed to this number by Professor Ely . And among the story-tellers are Hopkinson Smith and Boyesen . No more beautiful work has ever appeared m any magazine than the marvellous illustration of Ca briuety used ns a frontispiece and accompanying the prose poem by Mrs, Cardozo. Drake—whois said to be Kipling’s favorite artist for his Jungle Stories—Carter Beard, Osterlind, Den man, and Kemble, are among those who contribute a wealth of illustration to this number. 'Die Cosmopolitan announces that it will begin the publication in January of the Agri culturist’s Illustrated Magazine, to be fully the equal of The Cosmopolitan, but containing from sixteen to twenty pages by the ablest agricultural writers of the world, upon subjects of impor tunee to the agriculturist, horticul turist, and stock'growing interests. * 'Die Chautnuqmin is a magazine well adapted to the wants of a busy, progressive people who want concise [ reviews of the interesting and important events of the day.
