Aside from this innovation there were a number of others, some of which are destined, in all probability, to become perma nent features of the institute. Among these new features may be mentioned the following: The absence of bookishness incident to holding it on the Chautauqua grounds far away from the musty wails of the school room. In struction was inspired by the lec ture method entirely. The selec tion of special instructors in Bible study and in library requirements was a feature. School men who are candidates forthe state super intendency were introduced. The open walls of the auditor ium afforded at least one unde sirable temptation, especially to the younger teachers. The call of the green was so insistent that many absented themselyesduring the lectures. A roll call would probably not have found at the various lectures an average at tendance of more than one-half the number of teachers enrolled. The regular institute instruc tors were I)r. J. A. Beattie of Cottier University, Bethany, Neb. and Mr. R. H. Graham, superin tendent of city schools, Wymore Beginning at about eight o’clock these lecturers spoke alternately for half-hour periods until ten o’clock. Dr. Beattie presented principles of education and points in history, while Mr. Graham spoke on reading and grammar, Dr. Beattie needed no introduc tion to Richardson county teach ers, as he has been an instructor on similar subjects two years be fore His wide and long experi ence has eminently fitted him for institute work. He excells in the exceedingly clear presentation of his subjects. Mr. Graham has eleven years of successful experi ence to his credit. He enlarges upon his subjects in a most de lightful and pleasing manner. Both Dr. Beattie and Mr. Gra ham made good as institute lec turers. Each morning shortly after ten o’clock, Dr. James Batten, plat form manager for the Chautau qua, would deliver a Bible lecture. 'Pile series of lectures comprised the following: ‘ The Book and tuc Believer;” “How God inspired the Word; ’ “What the Book does and does not claim for Itself ” "Prophecies;” “Miracles.” Rev. Batten labored under considera ble difficulty inasmuch as he had to shorten liis lectures by at least one-half. The vote of thanks given him at the close indicated the appreciation of the teachers for his sane and clear presenta tion of a difficult subject. Just before noon, Miss Lois Spcnccr of this city, gave a talk on libraries and library work in its many phases. She spoke on the selection of books, the me chanical preparation of books for circulation, the care of books in circulation, and a number ot oth er subjects connected with circu lating libraries. Miss Spencer presented her subjects objectively and interested a large number of teachers even though her period came just before the dinner hour. The superintendents o f other counties will make no mistake in securing Miss Spencer if they wish to work up the library spirit in their respective counties. The reports of teachers using circulat ing school libraries were very favorable. The work is no long er an experiment in this county. James E- Delzell, superintend ent of the Lexington city schools and candidate for state superin tendent at the republican pri maries, spoke brietly upon educa tional matters. He said, how ever, he was not traveling over the state for nothing and received the assurance, more or less com forting perhaps, that many of those present had not yet pledged i themselves. Father Lohren of Dawson, also gave an interesting address, a re port of which appears in the Chau tauqua summary in another column of this paper. The school journal solicitor made their inevitable appear ance in the persons of Mr. Weber ami Kx-Superin tendent Fowler, the latter ad dressing the institute. The round table talks were scheduled for four o’clock, but after two or three meetings, were abandoned for various reasons, chief among which were the in tolerable buzz around the build ing and the lateness of the after noon lectures. On Saturday morning the in stitute gave way for a meeting of the Richardson county teachers' association, at which Mr. Hodapp principal of Verdon schools, was elected president and Cora Hill, principal of Shubert schools, Vice President, for the coming year. Supt. Oliver is ex-officio secreta ry-treasurer of the organization. With these officers it is hoped that the affairs of the association may be carried on in a business like and efficient manner. A majority of the teachers seem to be in favor of the plan whereby the institute is held with the Chautauqua. A large number favor the old plan. Possibly a good compromise might be struck by alternating the two plans from year to year. Under the new plan it is notice able that the leadership of asso ciation affairs and of most insti tute matters is in the hands of the younger teachers Supt. Oliver has not expressed himself as unqualifiedly in favor of the new method of holding the institute. All beginnings are difficult and the superintendent is to be congratulated upon the success achieved in this first trial of the new plan. A. H. VoEGELEIN, Ph. M Principal Kulo Schools ENTERTAINS GOLDENROD CLUB All Members are Former Residents of Nebraska The following taken from the Missoula, Mont. Herald will be of interest to our readers, as it refers to Mrs- O. H. Maddox and Miss Grace Maddox, who have so many friends here. The Golden rod club is made up entirely of members from Nebraska: “Mr. and Mrs. H- T. Gardiner entertained the Goldenrod club in a royal manner last evening at at their home on Poplar street. A large number were present and a delightful evening was spent. Mrs. J. C. Orr charmed all pres ent with her beautiful instrument al selections. Numbers were al so given by Mrs. Maddox, Miss Grace Maddox and Miss Val entine, which added much to the pleasure of the evening. The hostess, in her charming way served fruit, punch and home made cookies—the kind mother used to make—which melted in your mouth. The Gardiner house was one prolusion of sweet peas and each parting guest was given a large boquet of them. All in all, it was a meeting to be long remembered by the natives of the Goldenrod state.” FALLS CITY HORSES WIN Joe Miles. Jr.. And Benschoter & Doerner Carry Off Honors In the horse show held at Rulo Thursday, the riding horse be* longing to Joe Miles, Jr., won first place, while the fine driving team of Benschoter & Doerner’s won second. That white team is a dandy and it must have been a beauty that won first place.
