Ills text wa. "I not the life molt
than meat, and tho body than rai
ment?" He spoke of the day (June 21)
belmr the date of the summer solstice.
and the culminating point of the year.
That a majority of the class of lw are
to tie teachers In the school of the state,
and that some subject connected with
education was appropriate. He took
for hla theme the divine ropor(ton
aud perH-otlve education, that the
nat eoatly material, and uuwt lavish
ornamentation, without proper propor
tion, oidy emphaslitw the lack of skill
of the one who uiodcl. That lu all
llie work of life the necessity of projsir
tlon enters. The slgnltlranee of life de
pends upon a living scne of true rvlti
tlous. WIk'W aliall the main atntbe
put? What can weamaM to autamll-
ttate and what not? The speaker
oolntod out the lmis)rtnme of those
prlnelpka lu teaching. The king of
Sparta when asked bow to educate the
children said: "Ia-t children learn
whatever thev shall do when grown."
The spiaker tta-u poluted out the dan
ger arising man makingedu.atlon coo
fonn to that Idea. He said that the
true object of an Intellectual training
was to leach the child bow to olitnln
knowloibre: that tho school where the
best order prevails, and the nuwt a
fiH-tly reclte.1 lessons is the rule, may
net be the bent fr the pupIL That the
mind of the pupil Is In the haud of
the teacher w ho can either manufac
ture It Into something, or cause it to
have a irrowlb. like a tree, whtete roots
are deeply Im boded, and whose bloom
may scatter fragrance, aud Its milt las
borne to benefit muuklud. FJui atlou
should be a result of the research of the
child. The new education seeks to I n
spire the child to make the work his
own. If we build a house w ith the
roof larger than Ita walls, it topples
over with the first breeaa. If a tree
grows with spindling trunk and
lieavy brunches, It Is not prortloned
aud ita usefulluess Is circumscribed.
The pr.r eymlsjl of the teacher la a
mouutalii spring which I ever flowing,
and the mind of the child a storehouse
In which knowk-dge Is garnered. He
then addressed the class, sod spoke of
Michael Anwlo. the winter, fixing bis
lamp in his cap that bis shadow might
not full ou his wo-.k, and aked that no
shadows of self might fall on the w ork
of the graduating class of tH!l.

In great part due to the pcroeptlve qual
ities of the mind. That srceptlon Is
the foundation of all knowledge and
we should choose (he 11 workmen to
lay this foil mint lun. That Hrccpt!on

on the savage. Through this fnculty of
perception Benjamin Franklin was led
to the chaining of the lightning aud Sir
I.Newtoii found the role which govern

"Shams" by C. W. Wester of Polk
county, who said all will agree that this
Is a world of shams. Tbe business man
can tell that this Is a world of shams.
In the city, where bluo blood runs In
their veins, families endeavor to keep
pwltlon In society and they slave at
home while making a snow in puouu,
See tho honest farmer who puts all the
straight sticks on top of the pile of
wood, largest apples and cherries in uie
box, finest fleece of wool as a sample,
and vet he Is only getting even with
tho merchant who put chicory In the
oollbe or sand lu the sugar. Speaks of
sham of fashion. The world. The
hypoerlcy of the church. We muy In
looking on this side of life become con
vinced that all life la a sham and lire
Is not worth tho living.

which shall afford au aeMumpaulmeut
for musle In the home, and uot have
llie objection of the piano In expense
and skill required. That summer would

slo of the birds. Speaks of the tendency
of human nature to seek rest by the
seaside, and seek health at the mineral
spring. That lu the Inane where music
dwells means a rest each day for the
householder. That for bllll uo need of
summer resorts or mineral springs.
