Among these is tlie information, which seems to beto their mutual advantage and that the farmer should assert his independence and unite to combat the great trusts and combination. Mr. McDaniel was followed by quite a spirited discussion in which so tile of the speakers tried to soar off over the great field of expansion but Mr. Hus-man drew them back to the subject by suggesting If the farmers would look after their own interests the politl-cians.trlcksters and demagogusswould soon be without a business.The second subject was, Balanced Hation and how to produce it.” This was handled by Mr. Husselman. He created quite an action in the minds of many of the farmers when be told them that on their farm (for he said the whole family was in partnership) of 165 acres they kept'from 60 to 70 head of cattle, 8 to 10 head of horses, usually marketed 100 to 150 hogs, kept 200 to 300 chickens and had some feed to sell. Mr. Husselman thoroughly understood the subject and when he explained how he fed and showed that it did not take so much feed if the animal was fed just what its needs demanded.Mr. Husselman also talked on the subject of 4:Poultry and its management.” He showed that he was at home Jn the poultry yard as nuch as in the barn yard. He said that the young hens were the winter-layers and that they should be hatched early for this purpose and if they were given feed that would produce eggs and were properly cared for they would pay from 1 to 3 dollars per year.In the evening session Mr. Husscl-man delivered a lecture on “Birds, Bees and Blossoms, * * In which you could fairly hear the bumble bees humming, the doves cooing, the swallow twittering and—yes you could hear the English sparrow chattcr when he got hold of him. He called him tne Johnny Bull among the other birds of America; and he might well have added that he had almost conquered and driven from our land the little black-blrd boers. He would not have any birds killed cxcept the Eng-TEACHERS' IBOCUTIOK.Large Attandance and CommendableInterest.HISTORICAL SOCIETY ORGANIZEDMan j Important Educational Sub* Jects Discussed.The Kosciusko County Teachers’ association met In the circuit court room last Friday morning with a good attendaace and continued its sessions until Saturday afternoon.After the singing of “Amerlca”and seripture reading and prayer by Rev. L. P. Coffman, the president, R. E. Gunter, of Plain township, delivered his inaugural address. Mr. Gunter took for his theme, The power of an ideal” and endeavored to set forth the necessity of every teacher having a high Ideal in the work he is doing. It is not less necessary that a lofty ideal be held up before the pupils and that they be urged to reach up and to strive toward its realization.MIks Lillian Tripp, of Syracuse, read a well prepared paper on “Local history In the schools. ” This paper set forth clcarly and concisely the value of local history and the necessity for its study. As a rule we study the history of every other place bub our own Immediate locality but are content to remain in ignorance of that. Many of the cities of Europe have societies whose business it is to preserve the history and traditions of their respective places. Aa a result the history of those towns Is known the world over and they are keown as historic places. During the last few years similar societies have been organized in some of the eastern states and occasionally one in our own stategrowth of cities and the building op of trade unions. Each wax shown to have played a distinctive part In the building up of the world's commerce a* we know it today. He showed, too, that commerce and Industry are Intimately related to onr national life.Prof. C. O. Thomas, of Atwood, gave an excellent talk upon he hub-Jeet, “Review of common branches vs. high school as a preparation for teaching. This was to have been a discussion between Prof. Thomas and Prof. Armlngton, but the latter not being able to be present, Prof. Thomas considered the subject from his own standpoint, showing the superiority of high school work in making preparation to teach.Prof. Neet followed in a very brief address upon the teacher's work In training the young people who are placed under his care, bo that they may grow into perfect manhood and womanhood.At the afternoon session Chas. Leckrone read an interesting paper on “Poets and poetry of Indiana,” reading also a number of selections from the book bearing this title and used by the teachers’ reading circle. Those who heard this paper could hardly fail to have a higher appreciation of the poetry of our state.Prof. Hlppensteel then spoke upon the subject of reading, dealing with the purpose of reading in school and also giving some attention to method. The professor sought to impress upon the minds of the teachers the fact that they should aim to teach the pupils both to interpret the thought of the book or selection and give oral expression to that thought.The following officers were clected for the coming year: Herbert Ihrig, of Sidney, president; S. L. Blue, Silver Lake, first vice president; Miss Celestia Easterday, secretary.Superintendent Worley than called for the names of those who would become members of a county historical society and 26 names were secured. Further particulars of the organization of this society will be found else-Some years ago I read an aneodote of a boy who was confined to bis home for a number of weeks by a severely sprained foot. While thus laid up be became somewhat restless and uneasy and longed for the time to come when he could get out doors where he was accustomed to spend most of his time. It chanced that a book treating upon some of the simpler elements of philosophy fell Into his hands, and as he could do hothing else he began to read It, although he had never cared much for reading before. It was by no means a great or profound work, but it contained a number of questions relating to Bome of the simpler phenomena which are every day passing before our eyes. Among the questions were such as these: “You throw a stone into the air. Why does it not continue in the direction in which it was thrown, instead of falling to the earth? Yon thrust a stick Into the water. It looks as if it were bent at the water’s surface. Why does it have this appearance? You are told that this is due to the refraction of light. But what is the refraction of light?” These questions and the presentation of the simpler truths of philosophy which the book contained set the boy a thinking. They awakened his curiosity and created in him a desire to know more of the things of which he read, as well as of the phenomena which he had come to notice, but to which he had never given any attention and of which be knew Utile or nothing. He continued reading and observing. This temporary misfortune became the turning point in his life. Instead of caTlng nothing for books and reading, he became ai . .. . * •% *.clor value lt;SiA J. .led to realize thegood books as oompared with lix*ewhich are of a questionable character. ;The season of the when more timeyear ha* ari+red'?te can be dvroted^to~||| reading than for many months part. ;;£ When I was on the farm I alwaya.y^r. welcomed the long winter evening*because they gave me bo many-boaiS;^:^. for reading and study.
