County Institute.
The annual session of the Sherman
County Teachers- Institute is being held
this week in the high school building.
The institute is by far the largest in the
history of the county, and every period
of every day has been filled with some
thing of value to the teachers The
teachers have been prompt in attend
ance and they have shown the keenest
interest in every session. Supt. Hen
drickson is leceiving congratulations on
every baud over the success of the ses
sion. and the teachers are outspoken in
praise of the management and work of
fered, bringing to the teachers the
largest professional advantages, and
professional work of a high grade is Le
ing done
\\ ork began promptly at s::;o Monday
morning with the assembly room almost
entirely filled. Supt. It, M. Thomson
of Kaveana has had charge of the work
m music, history, civics and arithmetic
He has done some excellent, practical
work and the teachers express them
selves in most appreciative terms of
his work. Mr. Thomson is an educator
of rare ability and his work has the
true ring to it.
Mrs. Geislar of Ord conducts the
model school each forenoon. About a
dozen li'tle children who have never
been to reboot come each morning and
form a model class in reading and num
bers. Mrs. Geislar h as a very happy
way of teaching the little ones and her
worn has been an inspiration to all the
teachers. Keginners in particular have
received invaluable help. Mr. Hendrick
son has received many favorable com
ments upon the model school, and he
certainly deserves credit for bringing
such practical work to the teachers of
this county.
Prot. J. W. Searson of the Peru
State Normal, instructs the classes in
pedagogy, reading and geography, and
conducts the beginners’ round table.
No educator lu the state is better
known than Mr. Searson, and the ser
vices of none are lin greater demand.
Prof. Searson combines in the fullest
measure all the qualities that consti
tute an able, forceful and popular
institute instructor and lecturer, and
j his work teems w.th gooi things every
! minute.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Life of Ifrandina Long
(leorge Herbert said that one good
mother was worth a hundred school
masters It must have been a swe-t
natured mother like the one in this
sketch to have inspired the assertion
Deep hidden behind every persona lty
is an individual power. In thislits a
woman’s real strength, and in securing
data for this biography I have tried to
trace the source of this power in the
subj **>t of t-hi* imperfect sketch.
Catherine, Hamilton Re: I wm bum
in Pickaway county. Old**, Nev. iTtlt.
is 19, and boasts descent i'r«»m li.e Irish
“Hamiltons” spoken of in "Thu
Conqueror.”
The Celtic strain may have 1m en ic
sponsible in a measure h r a lively
temperament, and even to late in
middle life her youthful joys and folios
were lived over again in memory to the
delight of her children. In is44 she
married Edward Long, and in lb'»G they
emigrated to Page county, Iowa, where
they homesteaded government land
near College Springs. Her husband
was one of the founders and first trus
tees of College Springs College, now
considered one of the best small colleges
in that state. Later they moved to
Clarinda, the county seat. She speaks
of an odd coincidence on coming to this
town. At the corner of the square in
this town was a public well where in
coming emigrants could draw water
for domestic use. While going the first
morning for a pitcher of water, she met
a pleasant woman, a resident of the
place, and they chatted In a friendly
manner as strangers do in the west.
rh«* local resident said "My name is
Catherine Reid, and yours? Catherine
Long.” "You bear my maiden name
of Catherine Reid,” said Mother Long
and to her astonishment the other lady
replied: “Well, how strange, my maiden
name was Catherine Lung, and married
name Catherine Reid.” *We seem to
have exchanged personalities. And the
two women by virtue of the chance
meeting sent friendly greetings for
many vears.
She was the mother of seven children.
Her husband died when her youngest
child, a son, was about one year old.
They were living on a farm and she
had not time to abandon herself t<»
grief, for as she gathered the little
group or four fatherless children around
her, she realized that henceforth her
mission was to train and educate her
children to fill honorable positions in
life, and as everything depended on her
own efforts, everything must lie subvert
ed io this labor of love. Her children
often live over again in mind those
years, aud what must have been lonely
years for mother and testify to her
intense devotion, remarkable family
government, training in moral precept,
line upon line If her sons and daugh
ters are not doing their part in the
world, it is not the dear mother's fault.
The strength of her character was
shown in her power of command, even
temper and sweet nature that accepted
what life brings as being for the best.
In speaking of her early life. Mother
Long said: * We lived more simply be
cause we had to; did more work because
we were willing to; and took more
exercise because we liked to,” which
may account for the long life of the
grandmothers.
She has been a wide reader, interest
ed in public affairs. She was in her
prime during the most dramatic period
of American history, and remembers
the impression made by the vivid
oratory of such men as Fred Douglas.
Wendell Phillips, etc. Her facilities
have kept their tone in a remarkable
way, for one of her age, and freedom
from worry has had much to do with it.
Joe Jefferson said: “They tell me
life always becomes to the old as an
empty theatre, its lights extinguished,
music silent and actors gone, and they
sit musing on the scenes that once have
been n Hut he concludes, “it need not
be so, if you keep yourself a part of the
world life and in harness to the end,”
and Mother Long adds, “and cultivate
interest and sympathy in the joys and
sorrows of those around us.”
And this last is the secret of the
individual power or strength whicli you
feel in the presence of this dear aged
rnoiher
l make no apology tor these biogra
phies, and if you find one thought in
any of them that will make the thought
of old age more tolerable in connection
with yourself, then the compiling of
them will not have been in vain.
