Stops Teachers Irqpovement Township trustees and public school teachers who have been endeavoring to keep pace with modern methods of teaching are “viewing with’ alarm” the actions of state board of accounts in charging back to trustees certain moneys which have been paid the teachers in carrying out some of the modern plans, says the Plymouth Tribune. One of the most common practices has been that of paying teachers for attending meetings of county associations of teachers. These meetings were usually neld on the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving day, and the teachers were allowed two days’ pay for attending. Under the law the teachers can collect for Thanksgiving day even if no school is covened. This was allowed by the state board but the payment for the extra day was charged back. Another common practice has been paying the teacher a full day’s wage for visiting other schools. The teachers and trustees were told that for a teacher to spend a day seeing how school was taught by some other teacher was a good thing, and a number of townships adopted the practice. All money thus spent has been charged back. Kabo Corsets sold by A. W. Strjeby. - ‘

All sales of personal property for cash. Marion Trust Company, • Receiver. Pratse the Childreh We as parents have greatly underestimated the worth of compliments for our children. If not in the past we should begin now and praise our children for what we see in them that is worthy. Jesus said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s, meaning that some things are due to Caesar as well as God. The children need compliments as well as their parents. How much we could add to the confidence of our children if we would never miss an opportunity to praise them for what they do well. How it tickles father when he comes home from the fair and brings with him a premium he has received for having the best horse, colt, hog or has drawn the prize on an old rooster because he had a red comb or was a great fighter. Now if these big things will please father, less things in a complimentary way will please our children. There is not a day we do not scold our childern but how many days pass when we have never given them a word of praise although they have done their best.—Milford Mail. Old Veteran Attends Reunion. Mr. J. N. Juday living out of town about three miles, a veteran of the 48th Indiana Infantry regiment, attended a reunion of that regiment at Elkhart, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Mr. Juday enjoyed the coming together of his old soldier friends and the "ehearsal of some'of their experiencs very much, but says he would not like to go through the ordeal of, the 60’s again. There were 77 of that regiment present, an attendance better than usual. They expect to have a Jubilee year reunion at Goshen in two years it being 50 years since they were mustered in at that placefand’camped’on'the fair ground then located between Goshen arid Waterford.

THE IEJCHERS _ MISSION The Moulds of Chamfer Which the Tylers Help te Fashloa. The Three Best Agencies fhr the Development of Character, he Home, the School and the Church. In a service to which the teachers of our public schools were invited and which was attended by all without exception, the Rev. A. L. Weaver of the M. E. Church very ably delivered a sermon of much power touching upon the thought of the public schools as a character builder. Superintendent C. C. Bachman and W. M. Self gave short but impressive talks. The pastor spoke in part as follows:— I am happy in the honor of having a part of this public recognition of the presence and work oT the teachers of our School, and of addressing the teachers of the same. I want it to be understood that the Church, and especially do I speak for the Methodist Episcopal Church, is one of the staunchest friends of the Public Schools. “In annouucing this service, I tried to awaken expectaion by saying, “Next week an event of unsual importance will take place.” I do not know if any one said, “O he is only refering to the opening of our schools,’* but I know that in the mind of each of us the significance of the event is woefully discounted. A man finds a diamond of some value. He takes it to a craftsman whose specialty is in the bringing out the beauty of the diamond. But before he leaves the stone in the hands of the craftsman he puts him under bond for safe, careful handling of the stone. But we send our children, whose value is infinitely above the value of diamonds, and whose possibility of injury by carelessness is great, wtih but little thought as to results. I would like to see the day when the First Day of School, would be the calendar Day of all the year. A day on which the pupils, the parents, the teachers and the members of the School-Board, would gather in the Assembly room to listen to three addresses. One from the parents the substance of which would be: These are our priceless treasures, we entrust them to your care awaken and develop in them the very finest type of Man-hood, of Woman-hood. One from the Superintendent pledging that by precept and by example the pupils would only hear the call to and see the vision of such a type of life in every one of the Faculty. One from the Board, pledging that every thing needful for such results would be furnished. Then Mr. Superintendent, I am sure that you and your efficient helpers would hear the call of life as never before, and would feel that every act of yours would meet with approval without any local option action on the part of the pupils. These days are Crucial Days. We are in thecruciable, the melting-pot if you please. The matrix is being formed into which the contents of the melting pot will be poured. What shall be the form—the character of this new life? You, Mr. Superintendent and teachers, are helping answer that question by virtue of your close contact with the boys and girls, the fashioners of the mould.

The popular thought has been j something like this: The Church i and the Home are the fashioners of character, at least so far as morality and spirituality are concerned. And that the work of the school is mental culture, colorless as to morals. lam not here to dispute the proposition as to the Church and the Home as fashioners of morals. They are two of the best agencies. A careful analysis of the salvation offered by the Church in the name of Jesus reveals that it is to enable a mm to put thirty-six inches into every yard, sixteen ounces into every pound, and honest intent and .effort into every task, and to stand perpendicular regardless of storms of temptation that may be raging about him. Or in other words, to help make a man who, though his feet be on the earth his thought is God’s thought, and whose chief asset is a character that partakes of the Divine unchangeableness and of the Divine righteousness. What other work is that of the schoolroom? I hold that the three best agencies for the development of character are the Home, the School and the Church, putting neither one first or second but all on the same level. The School must be a moral instructor. How can you develop a thinker if his thought must be colorless. How develop a worker if his work must not show in the supreme things of life? How instruct a potential unit, whose sole fruitage is character without somehow affecting that fruitage? Let us get the thot that, though character be a by-product as some* one has expressed it, yet it is the only product that has value in the eternal Kingdoms, and that any institution that fails to produce this product is itself a failure. Your field of labor is far removed from the spectular where things happen and heroes are crowned. There is the routine, the sameness, the humdrum, that puts to sleep, or exasperates according to your tempcrment. Never-the-less yours is the hiding of the units of potential power in the soul of the child that after while will become the dynamics that shall change the thought and life of men. I want to tell you this evening, that, in my humble judgment the message of the Bible, the message of Mathematics, the message of Physical Science, and the message of History are one and the same, namely, You can’t fool with eternal verities and succeeed. Take the Multiplication table, I believe it was invented for the express purpose of developing a strong, rugged, moral character such as the world needs and God honors. You can not fool with this table and succeed as a mathematician. It teaches that you must not simply approximate to perfection but you must be perfect. Take History, what is its message, why study it? To find out who lived, and how they lived and what they did in ages past? Yes and no. Here is the message, the man or nation that refuses to walk with God walks by himself to destruction. k In order to succeed you must stand with the Man of Galilee. From any other point of view you will only see the outward appearance. How unpromising that is sometimes. You of the school room, who have endured the petty though nerve racking annoyances of the same, only know. But if you will stand with the Galilean

you will find such possibilities in the most unpromising ones that will enable you to do as he, endure the cross that success may attend your efforts. And then, some glad day when you shall see coming from the ranks of those who were under your instruction the Gideons, the Davids the Daniels, the Washingtons, the Lincolns, the Esthers, the Marys and the Willards (leaders in the purer thought and life of the world) you will look up in to His face and say, I am glad that I was priveleged to stand with thee. . -> ) Big Price for Coffee. The Decatur Democrat tells of how some of the boys were induced to pay an exorbant price for coffee at a street carnival a few days ago. While the boys were setting up for business, a smooth looking individual came up and set his doubledecked suit case down. In an argument which followed, he had cause to open his grip and the gang all caught sight of a row of bottles labeled ‘Green River,” “Kentucky Bourbon,’’ etc. The stranger with a wise wink said, “Just a little coffee, boys.” One offered to buy and* he replied that as soon as he was located in a quiet place where he could do business in merchant-like manner he would accomodate them. The news spread, and when that evening Mr. Slicker had his, stand ready for business he had a rush standing in front of his tent that looked as though he had advertised a bargain sale. At the proper moment he informed them that since he was taking long chances that he wanted them to aid him by not opening the bottles until safely behind the walls of their own tent. He then opened up crying, “Come on boys, just a little coffee like your mother used ’to make,” and he handed out case after case of halfpint bottles at a simple little charge of seventy-five cents’ The boys took the bottles and hurried away to their berths where they prepared to wet their parched whistles. You can imagine how they felt when they got the bottles opened and tasted the stuff and found it was really just as represented—plain coffee, and they had to pay six bits for a half-pint. T. H. Clemens and wife have returned to Syracuse from Goshen where they have been nearly al 1 summer. Harry has been train' ing horses for the race track.

Lost in Channel. Late last Sunday afternoon while hunting for water li’lies in the channel, Miss Rose Jensen and Herbert Servis both of Chicago had quite a thrilling experience. It grew* dark before they realnized it and, as anyone who has ever had any experience with the place, can imagine they had quite a time getting out. They finally made their way through to Wawaseelake after colliding with a launch and getting their boat fast on a sand bar. Rowing for.the only light they saw they finally arrived at Wawasee Inn at which place they left the boat and walked back home via. the railroad. Their friends in town were much alarmed and had several parties in launches and row boats out searching for them when they telephoned from Wawasee that they were safe. Enstalled as Pastor. The Rev. Ira R. Ladd was in stalled as Pastor of the Luthern Church of this place Sunday evening by Rev. Luther J. Smith of Goshen. Rev. ,Ladd graduated from the LuthSha Chicago Seminary and was ordain- • ed at the Luthern Synod as minis- ' ter last spring. He was employed to serve the charge here including Benton and was enstalled at the latter place some weeks ago but on account of it being necersary for Mr. Smith to cancel two former appointments he was not installed here until this date.
