TWO INTERESTING LECTURES
Dr. Sisson and J. H. Ackerman Here
Last Night.
While educational interest centers
this week in the annual meeting of the
State Teachers' Association at Pendle
ton, Atbena was by no means over
looked, and the andienoe at tbe M.
E. oburoh last night had the pleasure
of listening to two of the most inter
esting and instructive addresses on
tbe pnblio school question ever deliv
ered in the city.
The speakers were Dr. E. O. Sisson
of tbe University of Washington, and
State Superintendent Aokernian. That
Athena people had the opportunity
of bearing these two prominent edu
cators was due to tbe faot tbat , tbey
were in attendance upon tbe Associa
tion meetings at Pendleton, and on
invitation, consented to come here.
Owing to tbe short time in which to

was not so large as it would have been
had more extended notioe of tbe meet
ing been possible.
Dr. Sisson won tbe hearts of his an
dienoe and held tbe lapt attention of
all, by tbe masterly manner in wbiob
be handled his subject, "Education
Through Contagion." Bis lecture
bristled with logio and faot; was broad
in scope and illustrative of all that
the pnblio sohool system has been,, at
present is, and wbat its future .possi
bilities will be when it reoeivea tbe
advantages due it from co-operation of
community education in other words,
tbe support of tbe home, sooiety, the
individual and tbe community in gen
eral. He paid a splendid tribute to the
Gommercial Association and held its
interest taken in sobool work in high
regard. "
State Superintendent Aokerman, in
his usual pleasant mtnner, gave a
oharaoteristio address on educational
matters. Dis theme was for tbe pa
rent and teaober to get closer together.
If no other way for aoquaintanoe was
presented, he suggested tbat tbe parent
get np a obicken dinner and invite tbe
teacher to the home, a suggestion that
brought forth comment from tbe irri
pressible Mr. Brotherton. Mr. Acker
man closed bis interesting leoture with
tbe affirmation tbat tbe sobool cannot
rise above tbe home; tbat you oould
have any kind of a sobool yon want;
tbe standard, be it bigb or low, is to
be found on tbe basis of wbat tbe
home is.
Attorney B. I. Watts presided at
tbe meeting and introduced tbe speak
ers, one of whom, Dr. Sisson, said be
oould overlook Mr. Walts' flattering
remarks, inasmuch as both be and Mr.
Watts were Harvard graduates.
Attended Church Dedication.
A number of Atbena people attend
ed tbe dedioation servioes at Pendle
ton Sunday, when tbe new 130,000
Christian church in tbat oity was tbe
scene of a large gathering of people.
Tbe dedicatory services were conduct-
