During the music at the close of the lecture, several stalwart tc ichors with a water-melon under each arm,1 inarched In, paid tho penalty Im posed for absenco until a dozen melons of large slz9 and excellent flavor were, deposit edattho feet of Mr. Simmons. Then on Invitation the Institute adjourned to the school-yard for obvious reasons. To-day the melon caters were pltotographed In the act of finishing another half dozen. The regard In which the Institute Is held is given from opinion expressed by teachers in at tendance. Hattle L. Hasty, Ijuwlng: Tho Shia wassee county institute has been a great help In the way of furnishing new and prac tical ideas for teaching; Teachers! have been shown how to use aids outside of tho text-book, how to be better teachers than they could have been otherwise. Nelllo Goss, Lansing: The Institute is pronounced by all one of the best ever held In the State. Its lengtli, Rood attendance and genera Interest are the special features. All who have attended testify to its beueftV clal effects. It has awakened a new Inter est on the part of the teachers and tho many methods and helps given by the,. Instructors will greatly aid them in getting out of the old rut in school work. All have been thoroughly aroused to the responsibility of their profession. Herbert J. McEuen: To me personally the Institute work during the past four weeks has been a source of much profit. The Instruction received has been 'very satisfactory and I feel that I can begin work again with renewed enthusiasm. E. A. Fox: To one interested in the work of educating the young, the able In struction given during the four weeks Insti (ute, must prove a lasting benefit. The reviews have been very instructive to me, and the work in pedagogy has given me many new Ideas, therefore furnishing a new line of thought. I feel greater Interest In the work than ever before,' and trust that in the years to come I may meet the teachers of Shiawassee County many times lu simi lar meetings. Leola Glover: I have been impressed with the great responsibility of the teacher, anJ the need of thorough preparation. Personally I have leen benefited by the In struction given In civil government and pedagogy, and the practical methods in teaching history, geography and primary reading. , Lula E. Scott: Theinstitute Is very ben eficial. It awakens new lines of thought and gives a general impetus to the profes sion of teaching. I shall return to my school work with greater Interest and en thusiasm for having attended this Institute. Guy Lemon: The Institute has been of great interest to me. It has given me a greater zeal, a fuller realization of my duties as a teacher, and a better knowledge of the profession. Fred M. Wimple: The Institute has given me new zeal for my work. Those teachers who were not in attendance can not estimate tho value of the Instruction they missed. - Etta Ellis: I shall commence my work this fall feeling that I can do more and bet ter work for having attended the institute. I think the entire course of Instruction has been a benefit to me, but particularly that gained In the studies of pedagogy, geography and history, under Prof. Simmons. I be lieve my vacation has been profitably spent. A large number of the members of Quackenbush Post and W. R. C. are at St. Johns attending the Central Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' encampment. A large crowd has been in attendance and every one is having a good time. Gen. Alger, Gov. Luce and Department Com mander Brown have been among the guests.

The money was awarded to the former on a foul after six bloodless rouuds. War rants wero Issued yesterday for the princi pals and Van Wilkinson was arrested and Is In Jail, being unable to give bail. Public sentiment favors heavy punishment for all connected with the affair. The report that bherltl Morrice knew the fight was to occur and ordered Under Sheriff Crane to arrest the parties during the fight is without foundation. Axn Still Axotiieu.
