Houck, a living exemplifica tion of all he teaches, in one of his fatherly talks said: "Love is the golden key to a teacher's situation; never give up a bad boy; develop obedience and encourage success; do not forget the poor boy or girl." Sympathy is Dr. 1 louek's character istic. THURSDAY AJ TKRNOO.V. Dr. Smith, subject, "Law, Liberty and Light." The term law is used in three senses; civil, physical and moral. Civil law is man made and can be disobeyed without punish ment. Physical law is the expres sion of the nature of a thing. Moral law is a rule of action obligatory up on the conscience. Wrong is the violation of law or disregard of a righteous command. Obedicce to moral law brings merit;disobedience, demerit. Liberty is that coodition of non-interference which results from rendering implicit obedience to just laws. Freedom is a result of enlightenment. (Jood laws widen the scope of righteous liberty. Dr. Houck led institute by sing ing "America." l'rof. Putnam Supt. of Bradford Co., was introduc ed and entertained the institute with a very helpful talk. Dr. Corson next spoke on "What the School Stands For." The school stands first, last and only for opportunity. Schools furnish, not education, but an opportunity to get an education. Four classes of men: (1) Those who know nothing and don't know it; (2) those who don't know and know it; (:{) those who know and don't know it. Drs. Smith and Corson finished their work with us. No instructors have ever been so happy in the treat ment of their subjects and in the help to and interest of the* teachers in our institute. They have left us but the impression of their work remains and cannot be taken from us. Singing. Dr. llouck produced the prolonged applause of the audience by a glow ing tribute to the glory of America. Singing, "Spread sunshine and close the day right." If there have been any misunderstandings during the day, straighten them out and say good night with a happy smile. THURSDAY KVK ISO. The Parker Concert Company maintained the high standard estabj lished last year. Every member was encored and deservedly so, for never has Dushore had a better en" tertaimnent of the kind. I'BIDAV .MOKXIXO. Dr. Parker having left us with out delivering his farewell address, ( for which we shall some time get even) Dr. Houck led the singing and enlivened the teachers with his usual strain of humor. I 'so black board intelligently. A teacher's failure due more to failure in man agement than in teaching the branches. Start out prim and kind' ly the first day. If attendance is poor be sure that you are in a meas ure to blame. Promptness and punctuality are better than gram mer. Auditing committee's report for last institute was read and approved. Singing led by Dr. llouck, follow ed by one of the Doctor's happy talks. The present year has its sad ness in store for us as well as its joys. Let us be prepared to meet them heroically. Teach little songs and memory gems to enrich the minds of the little ones. The committee on resolutions then rendered its report and the resolutions were unanimously adopt ed. At this point J.
