It Is quite singular how of late years a decided objection to the an cient custom of rico and slipper throwing after the bride and bride groom has sprung up, so much so that several comparatively new Ideas have of late come almost universally Into vogue. Instead of the bard rice pellets, which occasionally are thrown with too much vehemence to be pleasant, some brides go in for substituting the tiniest ladles' slippers as well as horseshoes made entirely of soft sil ver paper.

"Billy, The Kid," the great Western play, which will be seen here at the Lyric on Wednesday, Oct. 20, while melodramatic, is consistent and tells a story that is full of Interest, hav ing for Its big climaxes incidents and situations that are exceptionally dramatic.

All houses are more or less over run with mice, and, as the tiny creat ures are capable of doing a great deal of mischief, it is only natural that the careful housewife should try and get rid of them. A simple and ingenious plan con sists of standing a small tub of wa ter on a chair almost on a level with the pantry or cupboard shelf the mice most frequent, and then sprinkling the water thickly with oats. The oats float on the water, and impart such an appearance of solid ity to the surface that the unsuspect ing mice, having a liking for oats, venture upon it at once, and, of course, are drowned.

MUCH HOSPITALITY SHOWN TEACHERS AT LAKE COMO INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER FIRST AND SECOND. At Lako Como Oct. 1st and 2nd was held the twelfth meeting of the Wayne County Teachers' Association. Eighty-five teachers were present to enjoy a good educational meeting. By the hospitality shown the teach ers they were convinced that the people of Lake Como welcomed. Friday Evening. The session was hold at the M. E. church. Rev. Emil conducted the devotional exercises. The Lake Como choir rendered a se lection, a solo by Miss Florence Gil christ and recitation by Miss Jennie Gilchrist were much appreciated. Cho lecturer, Mr. C. F. Hoban, sup erintendent of Dunmore Public Schools, was Introduced. Besides thoroughly acquainting the audience with the ways of the English schools he described many peculiarities and historical settings of tho British isles. The lecture was exceptionally Instructive and a large audience was present to enjoy it. The teachers appreciated the strenuous efforts made by the lecturer to be present at their meeting. The day session was held at tho school house Saturday, Oct. 2. Rev. Emil conducted the devotional exer cises. Robert Sanford presented tho subject "High School Libraries." The library is one of the essentials of success and is the culminating of all school work. The object of a school Is to fit boys and girls to become citi zens of the township, commonwealth and nation, to put them in position to further educate themselves. The test of education is to read discrim inate and to practice what is read. Children should appreciate a library, not use it as a past time and should be educated to choose books suited to them. The best books are those used as lights to pilot the child to highest literature. The object In teaching a child to read is to create an interest and interest them. Forc ing a child to learn by heart Is a practice more fitted to a jack-daw. Reading dime novels indicates a trait to cultivate. Substitute good books and give the boy a start, then after creating an interest, substitute heav ier books and also the classics. The classics required In school work need not bo In the library. A child should buy ills own books and by furnishing them it defeats the purpose. The library is incomplete without refer ence books. Research work adds to ability. Mr. Koehler opened the discussion by stating that many books are not suited to the children; most of them are too old. The history and phy siology can more effectually be taught In story form, told by tho teacher in the lower grades. Too much time is wasted with text books, when the children cannot fluently read them. It is too much to ask a child to write a reproduction of a story before telling It. It takes an enthusiastic teacher to teach classics. Mr. Dooley discussed the dangers of a discriminate library. A few good books well read are more essen tial. Teach rather than read the classics. The popular literature is stagnating the literary efforts of the country. Mr. Oday gave some experience he has had In the kinds of literature used In the grades and stated the fact that very few High school pupils did any other reading of classics except the required list. As they have a love for popular literature rather than the classics and will soon be the teachers how can they instill the love for the classics in the pupils. Few love poetry and it Is not necessary for them all to love it. Reading de pends on the aim, whether for recrea tion or work. Popular novels were discussed and the question was whether they were right or wrong. Mr. Dietrich stated that tastes change and new books ought to be available. Miss Glllen and Mr. Ken nedy further discussed the subject. Maggie Smith read a paper on "Primary History." The importance of teaching history, the method of presenting it by beginning with bi ographies and leading to actions of communities, studying the boyhood of prominent men, then leading the learner to understand the later de velopment of character, incidents relating to the lives of great men, connecting events transpiring with past historical events, the use of pic tures and poems were all well dis cussed in the paper. Florence Gilchrist rendered a solo. Mary A. Menner read a well-prepared paper on "Teachers' Pensions." "Contents of Children's Minds on Entering School" was the subject Vincent Van Horn presented. He stated the tests given in determining the knowledge of the children at that time. Tho tests reveal the fact that boys have more concepts than girls. City children have better concepts of objects In motion, while country children have concepts of animals and nature, although all their Ideas are queer. It is the function of tho Primary teacher to surround children with rich environment. "Primary Helps" was well pre sented by Marguerite Kennedy. Her suggestion on busy work were very practical. Tho results of Bced gath ering and caterpillar raising were Interesting and helpful. With the use of good educational papers many aids can be applied. "Orlando and Rosalind," recited by F. Gabrlello Blair, was much enjoyed. Louise Lynch read a carefully pre pared paper on "The Twin Sisters of tho Soul." Articulate language and thought are the twin sisters. Intel ligent conversation is a true index of a highly cultured mind. Language, culture, good conversational power Is one of the finest arts on which It would be worth while to bestow any amount of labor and time. Many vocations in life depend on our abil ity to converse. Thought Is the key that controls our conversation. A thoughtful and well balanced mind will be seasoned with charity and good sense. Exaggeration causes more than two-thirds of tho lying in many communities, dividing homes, friends, neighbors and churches. The most precious and Imperishable treasure of a nation's treasures 1b its language. There can be no higher statements In fitting words. "Do Rural Schools Meet the Needs of the Times" was Introduced by Prof. Dietrich. A chjld should bo put in position to fulfill the purpose of life. Rural schools fall short of their mission. They aro deficient in fundamentals. They are expensive Institutions. There Is a lack of sup erintendence, the haphazard methods used in the schools, unprepared teach ers, Irregular attendance, lack of en thusiasm, and lack of organization keep the schools at a low standard. Addle Rauner carefully compared the "New versus the Old In School Work." She described the methods of old and the now methods, advising a choice between the two. Tho new methods are less severe than the old In punishments. Love and reason are used Instead of fear. Charles E. Martz talked on " The Profession." He discussed tho causes of lack of respect for the profession and the remedy for enticing the pa trons to become Interested and In spiring respect. Schools are run on too independ ent a system; a supervising agent is needed. Teachers must get at tho true spirit. Elementary school teach ers are at fault of a gap In the sys tem between high schools and col lege, A true education is lacking and pupils are unfitted for entrance to such colleges as Harvard and Yale. After casting a vote of thanks for the kind hospitality shown and the aid received in the program, the ses sion was adjourned. CLARA A. ECK, Secretary.
