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."
