TEACHERS HOLD INSTITUTE
Interesting Papers Read and Discussed in Warren Township.
The teachers of Warren township
held their seventh institute at Warren last Saturday. Miss
Nellie Eastburn opened the session by reading a paper on school
management. The paper contained many good thoughts in
regard to "The School as a Social Center." Also
that cetralization strengthens the school as a social
center. She also brought out the thought that good school
decoration had a marked effect upon the community.
Arthur Stroup follwed with chapter 18 of
School Management. Mr. Stroup's chapter dealt principally
with "Affiliated Interests." He spoke of the
bearing or connection one study has to another, also discussed
the question, "Should a Distinction be drawn between
physical culture and athletics?"
Mrs. Anna Hargrave continued the subject
of "School Management" with chapter 15. She
discussed shool gardens, play grounds and vacation schools.
Chapter 16 of Social Spirit of America
was discussed by George Brown. This chapter dealt with
"The Social Spirit in Conflict with Anti-Social
Institutions." In his talk Mr. Brown showed the evil
of the drink habit. He also spoke of some of the government
positions filled with men who are slaves to drink. Mr.
Brown claims that the present generation cannot be reformed in
this regard.
At the afternoon session William B.
Jakway took up chapter 17 of Social Spirits of America.
This chapter dealt on "The Institutions of Ideals. The
Ancient Confederation of Virtue." Mr. Jakway spoke of
the growth of the church, the church and the family, industrial
training and economy through better organization.
Floyd Annis spoke on "The State
Course of Study." Mr. Annis gave a brief review of
elementary agriculture. He spoke of plants with two kinds
of action, the relation that science has to agriculture; also
that it was necessary to select the best seed possible for good
crops. It is also necessary to have the soil prepared
properly before sowing the seed.
There were five visitors present.
The last institute will be held at Warren Saturday, April
15. H. W. Lydick has a paper on "Power of
Purpose;" George Brown, "History;" William Jakway,
"Geograph;" William Pierce, "Reading."
