Faculty of That Institution.
Tho Wayne County graduates and
pupils of tho East Stroudsburg Nor

ouot at Hotel "Heumann on Friday
evening after the close of tbo Insti

About twenty-eight East Strouds
burg students decided to meet in
the hotel and hold a banquet. The

and tho East Strouasuurgers may ao

from now on. Among tho guests
wero Dr. Driver, who dollvered an
address at tho institute on "Ameri
ca in tho Far East." Supt. J. J.
Koehler acted as toastmaster.
Among tho speakers were J. D.
Storms, A. H. Howell and Mlsa Vera

Tho principal speaker of tho even
ing was Dr. D. W. LaRue, a member
of tbo East Stroudsburg Normal
faculty.

Singing.
Devotional exercises, led by Rov.
Dr. J. W. Ralta, of St. Mary Mag
dalen's German Catholic church.
Dr. Balta gave tbo teachers a helpful
and Inspiring talk.
Singing; roll call.
Supt. Tietrlck occupied the first
period and his subject was 'Effec
tive Teaching." If a man can write
a better book, preach a better ser
mon or make a better mouse trap
than his neighbor, though he make
his bome in tho woods, tho worm
will make a beaten path to his door
Tho secret of success Is constancy of
purpose. I know the teachers here
have a purpose. There is a sharp
distinction between a purpose and
a spasm. Many teachers have only
a spasm of what they shall accom
plish. The Individual who has a
purpose and will not give that pur
pose up Is successful. How well
you can do and keep on doing Is a
test of your work. Be judicious In
your expressions and then do just
what you say. Whatever you say
you will do, do It every day and do
It to the letter, steauy, even con
centration tells. The teacher is ef
fective who is exacting in what she
demands from her pupils. We our
selves often do not do much beyond
what Is required of us. Tho mind
must be riveted in study and a few
minutes of this kind of study Is
worth more than hours of mind wan
dering. It is struggle that gives
strength. One failing of children Is
just the doing of what can oe uone
easily. There is one degree a teach
er must have, It isn't a college de
gree. It is G. S. good sense. What
is good sense? It Is the knack of see
ing things as they are and doing
things as they ought to be done.
There Is difficulty in seeing things
as they are, but that Is the thing
that tells. W.hat you do ror uoa
and your fellow man will never die.
Mrs. Alma J.. G. Dlx, president of
the Wayne county branch of the
State Teachers' Association League
of Pennsylvania, called to order Us
members for the purpose of electing
a vlce-nresident in place of Pror.
Mark Creasy, formerly of Hawley,
who Is now teaching outside this
county. Prof. Blakslee, of Hawley,
was elected. The floor was then
clven to Vice Prlncloal .R. ,T. Davies.
who told about the .League convert-
tlon 1n Harrlsburg In June, to wyilch
he was sent as a delegate. Hq. 'stat
ed that this League was organized
to make teachers more efficient. It
alms to coruo closer to the teachers
and have every teacher enrolled as a
member. It is the purpose of the
League to prevent a school board
from getting rid of an efficient
teacher; to look after disabled teach
ers who have been efficient In their
work; to develop a eddo of profes
sional ethics; to secure proper com
pensation for tho teacher. The
Leaue Is trying to get two Important
bills through, the Legislature the
Tenure of office bill, which will pre
vent tho removal of an efficient
teacher by a fickle school board or
the sentiment of a community, and
a Teachers' Annuity bill, to provide
from the funds of the state Tor
teachers who have been efficient and
who have become p",,ysically unfit
for work. Tho convention at Har
risburg was given over to the dte
cussion of these two bills. We
must create a public sentiment so
that these two bills may bo brought
before the Legislature and passed.
The formal meeting of tho League
was then closed and Mrs. Dlx was
given charge. She spoke most elo
quently for women and tho Import
ant part they are playing In our na
tional life. America was discover
ed In 1492; men wero discovered In
177C, hut women were not discover
ed until 1870, when tho typewriter
and telephone camo Into use. We
hear much about tho Pilgrim Fath
ers but wo would like to hoar more
about tho Pilgrim Mothers. Mrs.
Dlx touched upon woman's suffrage
and all her remarks were to the
point and very effective. Sho was
applauded enthusiastically.
Miss Edith Simons delighted tho
audienco with a recitation, "Her
First Ride In An Automobile." Miss
Simons responded to an encore.
Singing; Intermission.
Dr. Warren next discussed "A
Typo Lesson In Reading." He said,
"Mrs. Dlx set mo to thinking. If
thoro wero moro women who could
talk as well as sho does there would
bo no need for nny men on this plat
form. Hurrah for women and their
votes. In teaching reading first take
caro of tho vocabulary. Dictionary
work must bo assigned with care lest
tho child become discouraged. Don't
over assign a lesson In reading with'
out flrBt saying to yourself, "Some
thing is going to come of that." Seo
that tho vocabulary has boon wisely
taken caro of and a lesson has been
assigned In a wise manner. Thoro
aro two kinds of reading -tbo kind
that gives facts and the kind that
appeals to tbo emotions. Thoy aro
vastly different from each other. Tho
reading lesson that appeals to the
omotlons must have tho way prepar
ed for it the day before so that the
child can study It intelligently. Glvo
an Inkling of what lies therein and
moro will bo gotten out of tho les

growth one reader is not sufficient
It is a wise investment to havo bov

word is planted correctly in a child's
mind his horizon is enlarged. It is
harmful to give children a paragraph
to Interpret It they haven't the ex

CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW IN

ful Picture .Many Tropical Trees
AITortl Excellent Educational
Advantages.
The Maple City green houses at
this place, owned by Marvin, the
florist, of Wilkes-Barre, and which
aro under tho efficient superlntend
ency of Franklin Walters, are "a
thing of beauty and Joy forever."
All lovers of nature's varlagated
flowers ought to visit tho green
house.
Within a week 3,500 beautiful
chrysanthemums havo been In bloom.
Owing to the great demand for these
beautiful flowers tho number has
been reduced to 1,000 plants, but
they are a picture one should not
miss. Tho different colors, consist
ing of cream, purple, yellow and
whlto mingling with tho green
leaves and stems portrays a picture
that cannot bo duplicated by man.
Tho green house is truly nature's
garden.
One chrysanthemum was 7 In
ches across.
Since Superintendent Walters
camo to Honesdale, three years ago, I
tho chrysanthemum benches have
been Increased from ono to four.
Each bench Is 7ii feet In length and
during tho season has been filled
with chrysanthemums. Besides dis
posing of 2,500 of these beautiful
flowers this season, nearly 10,000
carnations have also been sold to
tho Honesdale trade; also 10,000
tomato plants.
The Maple City green houses sup
ply Wilkes-Barre and other places
with flowers. Tho house carries tho
better grade of flowers and now has
in stock a larger variety than at any
tlmo since the green house was es
tablished. Tho Maplo City establishment Is a
horticultural garden. Hero are
found tropical trees of all kinds
growing. There are fine specimen
of banana, fig, grape fruit, orange,
lemon, Indian rubber and bay trees,
palms, etc.
Pupils In school who aro studying
about these trees, where they are
grown, and under what condition
should enrich their knowledge by
paying a visit to tho green house and
see the plant in its natural growth.
Superintendent Walters says visitors
aro welcome at all times.
Owing to the rapid and Increased
trade, Mr. Marvin will make an ex
tension of 30x40 feet to the largest
hot houso In the spring. The Maple
City Green House Is one of Hones
dale's growing industries, and under
tho management of Mr. Walters it
undoubtedly will become one- of the
largest plants of its kind In this sec
tion of Pennsylvania.
