pupils should be taught to be thor-

a lesson well than to get a general
idea of twice the matter. Care should
be taken not to help the pupil too
much.
J. Henry Phillips of the Normal
faculty speaking on the same subject
insisted that teachers put into prac-

emphasising the necessity of the
daily program’s providing for a study
period, and the importance of not

"Teaching Pupils How to Study”
was discussed by J. Frank Solomon
of Hebron. He said the pupil must
be taught that preparation is the
f rat thing in good methods of study.
Let him have his books, papers, and
pencils all at hand; then teacn him
there is a time for everything, not
allowing pupils to pass indiscrimin-
ately from one subject to another.
Then, he says, care should be taken
in the assignment of the lesson.

The Teachers'institute opened Mon-
day morning by singing and prayer
led by J. Frank Solomon of Hebron.
The subject of "Daily Program”
was discussed by J. M. Coffey of
Spring Hill, who thinks the program
a good idea to the character to the
school. He says that a definite
program economizes time, makes
preparation more convenient and
aids in discipline. The program, he
says, should reduce the number of
daily recitations to the minimum
consistent with the welfare qf the
schok that it should provid* for
study periods as well as recitation.
He favored placing more important
subjects on the morning program
when the children's minds are more
vigorous and alloting a definite per-
iod for each recitation, utilizing any
surplus in review. Recitations, he
says, should begin ai>d end on time.
The subject was the next taken
up in general disucssion by Miss
Judith Shifflett and* Mr. Weisner.
•’Testing Results" was discussed by
T. S. Sheppard of Sunnydale. He

Record and Chronicle were frequent

count that will be of interest here:

neys, Fred Morris, the slayer of Ot-
to H. Meyer, on trial for bis life in
the Forty-eighth district court, re-

clared that no fiars for the result
of the trial to himself would prompt

bear the ordeal of reciting occur

“Mrs. Morris has been in the city
since the opening of the trial Tues-
day, but not once has she appeared
in the court room, remaining in her
room at the hotel.
"The attorneys for the defense
had on one occasion secured a post-
ponement because she was ill and
unable to be present in court.

It is a mistake for the young
business man to say "I have no
need of credit, I buy and sell for
cash.” It is right and proper to
pay pro\ntply but the success-
ful business man is one who
establishes a credit and pro-
tects it as he would his charac-
ter.
Credit is a necessary factor
in the building up of your busi-
ness. -»t .
This bank desires as custom- ‘
era young business men with 4
ability to successfully conduct
their business. We know the
business man’s requirements
and will lend our assistance
w>..ingly to banest efforts to
build up a credit.
