Local Inrttitute.
The first number on the pro
gram at the local institute held at
the Road school house in Ayr town
ship last Friday evening was a
recitation by Meta Fryman and
one by Ross Ott, both of which
were well rendered.
A very interesting discussion
on Discipline" was opened by
Gilbert Mellott, who impressed
the importance of self-reliance,
and advised that no pupil be al
lowed to recite from the open
book; also, that the tetveher should
be prepared to hear the class re
cite without the teacher having a
book in hand. He told the im
portance of home training and its
beneficial influence upon the pu
pil. The parent should always
be on the side of the teachers.
After singing by the institute
Kitty Mentzer gave a very pretty
little recitation, which was fol
lowed by one by George Nelson,
and one by Jessie Brewer, both
well prepared.
Next was a discussion "Duties
of Pupil, Teacher and Patron,"
opened by Frar.lt Henry, who
said it is the duty of each pupil
to be present promptly and regu
larly. Then he gave some of the
duties of the teacher and parents
and advised a co-operation on the
part of both, and insisted that
the teacher should have a thor
ough knowledge of the subject he
endeavors to teach. Without a
co-operation of pupils, teacher
and patrons, the school cannot
prosper. . Mr. Henry was follow
ed by Mr C. J. Brewer, who
pointed out the facts that there
should be respect of pupil to pa
rent; next, obedience; few rules,
and strictly obeyed. Kindness,
but firmness, on the part of the
teacher. No partiality should be
shown. Patrons should stand by
the teacher. Earl Morton gave a
few points on the subject, follow
ed by James Keefer who pointed
out the duty of punctuality and
promptness.
Sunt Barton then took the
floor, and earnestly urged the im
portance of cooperation on the
part of the patron and teacher,
adding that if there be a co-oper
ation on the part of these, there
will be no trouble between pupil
and teacher. He advised an ac
quaintance of patron and teacher;
visiting the school: encouraging
the teacher; and, instead of in
creasing trouble by spreading
school trouble, to go kindly and
tell the teacher and help him out
of the difficulty. The discussion.
of this subject was very ably
closed by Ed Reisner.
Recitations were next given by
Johnny McLucas and Howard
Hoke.
Prof. Barton, then talked on
The Value of Education.
John Mentzer recited a very
carefully prepared poem, follow
ed by Lizzie Nelson who recited
"Papa's Letter."
Edward Reisner gave a verv in
tresting talk on "What Are Your
Highest Aims as a Teacher in
Your Methods?"
This waa followed by recita
tions by Ella McLucas and by
Helen Kendall.

er, James Keefer,

FOR THE LITTLE ONES. '
How Polly Made Mirror of 8pooni
and Had Pun at Work.
Every Saturday Tolly has to scour
the spoons. That is all that moth
er asks her tp do, and it docs not
take much time) but Polly 1ms al
ways dreaded it so long beforehand
and grumbled so while she rubbed
them that it seemed liko very hard
work indeed. Every week it was
the same old story, and you would
think that the little girl was asked
to clean the family plate in some
big house.
But last Saturday mother heard
her laughing all by herself in the
kitchen and asked what she was do
ing. "Making mirrors, mother I" shout
ed Tolly gleefully.
So mother came to sec. Tolly
was rubbing away on a spoon, and
when it grew quite bright and shiny
sure enough there was a little mir
ror in the bowl of the spoon, and
such a funny Tolly reflected there,
with very fat cheeks and very small
eyes and no hair. When she moved
her head, her cheeks grew thin and
her eyes as largo and round as an
owl's. How Tolly did laugh 1
Then she scoured another spoon,
and soon there was another tiny
looking glass and another queer lit
tle Tolly as funny as theirst.
When she had twelve of thpso
droll littlo mirrors, her work was
done, and she was surprised to find
that it was only play after all.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Honett Little Dick.
In all my life I never saw so hon
est a little cat as our Dick. He not
only never stole hinu'elf, but he
would not allow any other eat to
steal if he could help it. The dear
little fellow, however, was strongly
tempted once and came very near to
losing his good name.
One day the cook carried out a pail
of nice little frosttish and set it
down in the yard. Dick was there.
Dick always was near by when there
were good things to eat. The cook
went back into the house, and Dick
sat down to wait for her return, and
two of his especial friends were at
the window upstairs, looking down
to see what "honest little Dick"
would do.
The cook was a long time coming
back to dress the fish, and all the
while Dick kept watch, now on the
pail, now on the kitchen door. At
last he went somewhat nearer to the
pail, then nearer, then nearer. Ah,
frostiish smell so good! Dick's lit
tle nose almost touciied them, and
then ho sat down and cried at the
top of his voice for cook to return
quickly and save him from becom
ing a thief.
Still she did not come. At lust
Dick put his fore paws on the edge
of tiie pail. Then he looked at the
kitchen door and cried again. But
the door did not open. So slowly,
softly a paw reached down into the
pail. But before it hud gone as far
down as the fish it camo back with a
jerk empty, and its owner ran
around the corner of tho house,
where lie would not see or smell
those nice frostfish any more. He
did not want to be a thief, and we
believe that the little fellow never
came so near it again. Little Folks.
The Magle Picture.
Here is a curious little picture
that will puzzle some of the chicks.
It is what is called an optical illu
sion. When you first glance at it,
you will see an ordinary flight of
steps, with nothing strange about
them. But if you look at the steps
for some time you will find that
they suddenly seem to turn upside
down, and what was formerly the
top surface of each becomes as if by
magic the underneath surface. , It
TUKK IT AROUND.
may take you some little time to
see this change, and should you be
unablo to see it there is another cu
rious thing about the picture which
we would like to mention. If you
take the picture and look at it up
sido down, you will find the steps
remain unaltered and appear exact
ly the same as they did when you
held it the right way up.
A Clever Cat.
A young lady once had a cat that
amused itself by drawing all the
tins out of the cushion. When the
ast was removed, it looked up into
its mistress' face with an expression
that muant, "Tlcase stick them in
again." And as often as they were
put in just as often were they drawn
out. This cat had another favorite
amusement. If a vase of flowers
stood within reach, it used to pick
the flowers out one by one and eat
them.
