Greenwood, Alden and Grafton town­ ships hold conventions on next Sunday. There will also be an overflow conven­ tion at Ringwood in the afternoon. It is expected that there will be some­ thing doing in Richmond and Hebron on the following Sunday, and if the past rate of improvement in these conven­ tions keeps up, they will certainly have something splendid. Programs for the county convention of the 23rd and 24th will be out early next week. Mr. Schenck and Mrs. Leyda will have a part in each session. We want something live in interest from each school and some live in inter­ est will be found at the convention for each school. Dorr township has caught the conven­ tion spirit so completely that they had to hold a second convention on MObday night of this week, at which reports from the World's convention by Mrs. Harrison and from the state coovention by Mr. Rice were leading features, espe­ cially the report from Mrs, Harrison was the feature of the evening, as her report has been anticipated for a month with eager pleasure. The state convention at Olney last week was the greatest Sunday school convention ever held in Illinois, in spite of the fact that it was away down the state. 5000 was the attendance at the meetings of the last session. It is im­ possible to do either this convention or the one at Washington justice |n any brief note. You must come out to the county convention at Marengo to get a slight glimpse of them. Nunda Township Sunday School asso­ ciation held a rousing meeting last Sun­ day at the Crystal Lake M. E. church. All the "schools of the township were well represented. Mrs. Leyda was pres­ ent and talked on Sunday school work in general, but especially an primary work. Mrs. Harrison told of the World's convention and presented some of our county needs. Mr. Cross pre­ sented the teacher training work as the greatest need of the adults in * the Sun day school. Mr. Rice spoke of the state convention and of onr coming connty convention. Mr. W. J. Kittle was elect­ ed president for the, coming year. Kept the King at Home.

BY THE TEACHER EDUCATES THE CHILD AT SCHOOL./ Mill ACBM Dodge Shaw* How Noble the profession or Teaching and Truining the Mind and Character in. ' 'The chief concerto of every man ic not, as it should be, the formation of hi* character. The most wish merely to find a recipe for comfort' or a way to acquire richee or whatever else they aim at" * How truly Goethe has, in these few words, pictured the liyesof many of the people of today. Thruoui the world people are striving to obtain ways, first to comfort, then to wealth and luxur­ ies, giving little thought to the character which is being formed by them. Then, by yiiiokly passing back over the pages of our history to the days of a primitive people, we find that they, too, were able to obtain the things necessary to their comfort and what to them were luxu­ ries as well. Take notice of the gradual change in the comforts of the people as they become more and more civilized. What has brought about this change? It can be plainly seen, that in every age there have been 'those who have raised themselves above the majority of people of their time, in disclosing their knowl­ edge to others, and in recording their works, that their successors may not have these Bame facts to learn from their own experience, they have aided the progress of civilization until its present height has been attained. While in their turn, there are many now who are doing their part to advance its pres­ ent stage. Undoubtedly, all present realize that the children of today are to be the citi­ zens of the future. The welfare of our nation depends upon them and upon those who must shape their lives in pre­ paring them for tbeir future tasks. Without regard to the class to which they may belong, for rich and poor alike have their part to play in the govern­ ment of our nation, it is essential that these children receive good physical, moral and intellectual training. Now as the parents, in most cases, must spend tbeir time in providing for the family, the training of the children could receive but very little of tbeir attention. So methods have been pro­ vided by which their instruction is car­ ried on by men and womenx who have received training to teach. For some thne it has been a question whether *t@<£e]pjng is an art or a science. Art haB been defined as an endeavor to realize life's purpose by consciousness of our own need. Certainly, than, teaching is an art. But considered as an art only, the work is in danger of be­ ing treated merely as if it were a num­ ber of ingenious artifibes for achieving a desired end. On the other hand, science has for its object the investiga­ tion of the principles of truth for its own sake, not considered as a means to any further end. In searching for a rational basis for such rules as it em­ ploys, we find that teaching is scientific, while, at the same time, it is aiming at the accomplishment of a piece of work and is, therefore, an art. Hence we are justified in speaking of teaching both as an art and as a science. For a more pointed definition of this instruction work, we will refer to Spaulding, who says: "Pedagogy is little more than good sense applied to knowledge.!' In this he is quite right; for, as a subject may be rightly or wrongly taught, so, too, the methods of teaching it may or may not be well adapted to the mental condition of the pupil. Bearing these facts in mind the teacher must be able to apply his good sense at the moment conditions are most favorable. To be able to do this most advan­ tageously, it is neceseary that one have a natural aptitude for the work, the study of principles and methods, and the lessons of experience. Each is quite essential. An artist, tho his work may oome naturally to him, spends much time studying the masterpieces of his predecessors. So it is\with teachers. The principles and methods of many great teachers of every age have been recorded for the use of all, Experienoe is said to be the best teacher, but at how great a cost it is obtained. It is received at the expense of the pupil, when in many cases, had notice, been taken of tfie methods used by other teachers, all would have been saved. Teaching, unlike snch employments as bookkeeping and stenography, is a public business, i. e., the public has a direct interest in it, and the layman has a voice in the way it is to be conducted. This is well, for when, the child seeB how much interest is taken in his Studies his own interest will unmistak­ ably be increased. The instructor, too, jaay be encouraged and enlightened by any criticisms or suggestions made. Altho the places which are open to the examination of the layman are many, there are points on which the teacher may specialize and which the untrained person is not able to under­ stand. Therefore, with a feeling of sat­ isfaction, the teacher may permit the investigation of her tasks. The importance of such scrutiny is growing daily with the change by which many former home duties are being placed in the manufacturing establish* ments, factory shops and school.

You cannot recover promptly if vour bowels are constipated. Ayer's Pills are gently ll» Just a glimpse of the days of our grandfathers ahd great-grandfathers will oonvinee us of this change. In those days the spinning and weaving were done in the home. Each farmer was his own blacksmith. The moral training and not seldom the book train­ ing were received in the home. The home, particularly the kitchen with its cozy fire-place, was the scene of many gaieties. At present conditions aie changed and are continually changing. Now, even the bread and other articles of food are prepared outside of the home. When the child reaches its sixth year (this is especially true of city life) the mother sees little of it. No longer must she plan games for her little one. This is done at school by teachers who have studied the origin and history of various games and have learned their value as pleasure-giving and educa­ tional. The home is no longer ample to entertain large companies of little friends and the child, longing for the, companionship of children of his own age, is able to receive this only in the school. Under such conditions, kind­ ness and regard for tbeir fellows may readily be taught to the children. Not only the pleasures, but the moral training as well, is, on account of the change in home circumstances, left to be infused by the teacher In moral lessons the child is influenced not so much by what the teacher says as by her actions. To tell a child to be good and to give a long lecture on morals and saasners frequently produces an effect opposite that which is wished. More often constant kindness and politeness on the teacher's part achieves the best results. Here we will stop for a moment and, going to oar past school days, will recall some of their pleasant memories. Per­ haps there are those who will reiiiem- ber some tihat have been other than pleasant, but let us not recall these; for most probably the punishment inflicted was no more than doe and may now be forgiven. We will think first of our primary teacher. How kiud and cheerful she was. Among so many strange children she made everything seem so home like that soOn there was nothing that could prevent our return on the following school day. At first the hours were long and tedious, but with the work she combined song and play until the hours passed all too quickly. In passing up­ ward thru the grades, the tasks grad­ ually grew to be more and more diffi cult. But, under the skillful guidance of the teachers, strength came to bal­ ance difficulty and with their patience and cheerfulness, we were enabled to pass on successfully. Then came the high school days Without a doubt or hesitation, we can give a good opinion of these The moral influence was of the best. Jollity was not an absent feature, tho strictness and order prevailed. The boys from the grades, tho at times very trjring, added interest'and helped us to reach the long wished for goal.

Now imagine that there had been those who had not been pnnctnal in the ringing of bells and the dismiss­ ing of classes. Do yon not think that tardiness might have becopie a habit with yon and that before long yon wonld have begnn to distrust her? Bow dis­ couraging it wonld have been to ns if onr teachers had \ieea incessantly re­ minding ns of the difference between their own and onr range of knowledge. Bnt, on the contrary, being themselves learners, we were led on thrn seemingly difficult paths with comparative ease.* In saying this I do not mean that the teachers learn a subject only as rt is being tanght by them for they shonld expand their knowledge of subjects in the school cnrrichlnm and the new methods of teaching them. The impor­ tant topics being discnsBed thruout the country, daily, shonld not be unknown to them. Then there are new studies, snch a* domestic science, manual train­ ing and the ntndy of agriculture, which in their modest fortiis might be taken np earen in the country schools. Per­ haps now yon will' understand how many of our best teachers spend the hours before and after school. It is nnder the guidance t>f these teachers that our educational system is working its way toward perfection.
