Dr. Smith stated that the modern ; conception of the purpose of editca-, lion is not the acquirements of a bod y of classified knowledge, but rather the 1 development of physical and mental • health and strength. All was based j on the general principal that "the j nervous system cannot with safety | use up mcSre energy than it can* from 1 time to time store up." Any attempt ; to transgress at this point will result I in deterioration. The practical signs ; of overfatigue with which teachers should be familiar are: An excess of mistakes in work. Inability to re call things with ease. Inability to fix the attention with accustomed I force. Irreliabi'ity, self-depricntion • j and discouragement. When any of ■ these appear in the school room, the i teacher should begin to ask whether i! it is due to work too long continued i without rest. The remedy announced is "short but intense periods of work i alternating with periods of complete physical freedom. Adjournment. . WEDNESDAY P. M. Singing. Roll call.

Short Talks on Advertisind v ~~ No. 19. People generally read advertisements more than they did a few years ago. The reason is to be found in the advertisements themselves. Advertisers are more careful than they used to be. They make the advertise ments more readable. Some of them even become, in a way, a department of the paper, and people look for them <s O every day with as much zest and pleasure as they turn to / \ any other feature. This is true of many department stores all over In many cities there is just one man who nppre- [ ciates the value of such interest. I lie breaks away from the old set stylo. He tells / ? something interesting in his space every '-p~~T 'e&f-- -V There are lots of interesting things in ' business. Look over the miscellany page of \ any paper—look at its local news columns, J I and its telegraph news, for that matter, M 1 and you'll see that the majority of the 1 * items are more or less closely related to " ~0- Wfty? some business fact. W'-ss' Dress these facts up in a becoming «ut ,k. m~ch a nt c„,~ dJtoff kh garb of words, and they will find readers, ftdestai." even though they be in a "mere advertisement."
