During Closing Full Week
of Chautauqua.
By Matilda Desch, Scc'y.
Tuesday morning's aeaaion opened at
0 o'clock with muaic, led by Miss Mabel
McDouald. After repealing the Lord's
Prayer the teachers listened to Dr
Ascham, on the subject "The Child's
Inheritance." The prophets have uaed
the child aa a symbol of the home,
Children do not inherit Ideas, culture,
virtue and religion. Personality la
developed aa they associate with otura.
I hey are inborn playwrights, drama
tizing tne ute or Hie elder around them.
(ioodiiess bides itself, and does not ap
peal to them aa the badness In this
world. It must bedramati.ed in order
to appeal to them. How are we to get
the moral inheritance of the child?
(Jet rid of our own faults and the bad
S
terature that poisons the minds of the
young people. Formation oi character
the true end of all education. Kvf'ry
thing that will make the soul of the
child nobler, should be the object of the
teacher. I he teacher is the Stewart of
the kingdom of God, and should see to
It that the child geta hia inheritance.
After an intermission Prof. MartzolU
gave one of his interesting history
topics, "The Relation of tho Statee of
the Union to the Federal Government.'
Thia was the greatest problem the gov
ernment has ever tried to solve. The
problem of government has ever been a
hard one. The Civil War only settled
the secession of statt s. The state shall
give way to the national government,
when contest arise between the Reiiub
lie and State.
During the constitutional convention
the political parties had to compromise.
Alexander Hamilton represented the
anti-Federalists. The people looked
upon tho government as opposed to
them. By the implied constitution we
are becoming more Democratic. A na
tion Is an ethnical unit occupying a
geographical unit. When the people
have the same ideas we have ethnical
unity, then a state can be formed. The
Puritans, Dutch, Swedes, Catholics,
Scotch-Irish and Germans all settled
in dill'erent geographical unities form
ing 13 states and governments. In the
crucible of war we tried to make one
state out of 13 ethnical unities. The
idea of self-government grew up under
the banner of liberty and freedom
During tho intercolonial wars, tho col
onies were self governing. Kach state
became Democratic. The national gov
ernment called upon the States to make
new constitutions. The sovereign
power consists of three tilings, 1st, the
right to tax; 2nd, the right of eminent
domain; 3rd, police fiower.
After the announcement of the elec
tion of officers for Friday, the meeting
adjourned until one o'clock.
Atternoon Session
The afternoon meeting was called to
order at one o'clock. After song ser.
vice theO.T. R. C. Secretary was elected.
L.L.Leidy, of Rockford, was nominated
and elected by acclamation.
Dr. Ascham spoke of the Knglish
Novel." Some of the modern novels
are lackingdiction. In the older school
of fiction there is something nobler,
which the modern novels have not sur
passed, nor even equalled. George
Elliot Is the leading novelist of the l!th
century. The book lives, which can
breathe the spirit of living man. and
will be literature as long as world en
dures. Novels are divided into two
classes, 1st as to the mode of treatment
into romance, historical, and realistic;
2nd, as to the material, psycholistic
problematic, manneristic and animal.
Before taking up his snhj"ct for the
afternoon Prof. Martzolff spoke of "A
State Teacher's Pension System," pro
posed by Hamilton county Teachers
Association. We pension our soldiers
for shouldering the musket and main
taining peace, but a far braver soldier
is the teacher who saves the lives and
help to build up the souls of tho child-

Wednesday Morning Session
Wednesday morning's session of the
Mercer County Teachers' Association,
after devotional and song service, Prof.
Martzolff gave a splend addiess, The
Bsttle of the Lakes," or "The Battle of
Lake Erie." War has played a promi-
nent part in history, but history is not
made in the time of war, but in time of
peace. Nations have violated the laws
of humanity, and have fallen a prey to
the disease of war. It teaches people
bow to take care of the body politic
and how to keep its laws. The mis
sion of the teacher is not to glorify war,
but to lead in the great contest, univer
sal peace. The boys and girls of Ohio
ought to be interested in the war of
1H12, because this war meant more to
the pepplo of Ohio than to any other
state. On the shores f Lake Erie the
American and British nations were
united in sympathy. Never again the
tocsin of war sound that these two na
tions ever be In battle again. May
they go on with the Idea that law Is
right, and law is might.
After a short intermission Dr. Asch
am spoke to the teachers on "The
Crime of Reconstruction." Teachers
should read largely in various texts of
history in order to distinguish between
a fact and Its interpretation. The per
iod of reconstruction was the final
test, whether or not the Union could
endure. This period may be
studied
under Lincoln's, Johnson's,
and
Hayes' administrations.
Afternoon Session
Afternoon session opened with sing
ing by the association, after which
Prot. Martzolff spoke to the teachers
on "The Drama of the Ash Heap." A
classic Is a masterpiece that appeals to
tne un,vergal gym thleg of raanklnd,
It is something men and women may
read and see themselves reflected in it.
A classic will show the great contests
waged within the soul of man. He,
who Is victorious in this internal con
flict is greater than the man who has
taken a city. We have four great I
masterpieces. We get from the He
brew, the Book of Job; from the Greek,
I'rouietheiia Bound; from the German,
Fauai; from the Knglish, Hamlet.
The nature or the contests and con
lllcta are the same. The better nature
contesting with the baser, the aex
'hlch la victorious. In the Book of
Job and In Prometheus Bound the hero
has lost his soul. The Drama of the
Ash heap la taken from the Book of
Job, Our greatest later day poem waa
written in Knglish, Tennyaon's "In
Memorlam." It is a monumental
peice of literature, a poem of triump,
of living faith, ttie greatest rnllgloua
poem of the century. Tennyaon
fought the fight and waa vlctorloua,
He died In the faith of Nar.arene. Prof.
Mart.ollf cloaed hia addreaa with
Tennyson's "Croaaing the Bar."
After a short lntermiaalon Dr. Aacli
am had the teachers take a Jonrney of
the Worth While. He apoke of Haw.
thorne's life at borne and abroad. Hia
experience while conaul at Liverpool
furnished the subject matter for bis
Italian notebook. Teaehera cannot
teach literature until they feel within
the heart and aoul, the Uvea of those
great friends the poets. They invite
u a into the great literary field of our
Knglish language. The meeting ad
journed until 0:00 o'clock Thuraday,

distinction of being the first man to make

SEPTEMBER
I
Now softened suns a mellow- luxter shed.
he laden orchard glow with templing red
on ha. el boughs the clusters bang em
browned.
And with the bunting horn the fields re
sound.
Old September Poem.
Well we should say so, and the mel
borne horn of Mr. Morgan will awake
the morn, bidding us garner for the
bins and cribs in which we labor for
bis royal nibs. The summer ended
and the blower on, the respite over
and the money gone, and Rockefeller
aa we drill along, bowing and hoping
we are well and atrong.
The seaside sojourner will quit the
shore, and the summer girl will line
up three or four conquests in puppy
love she has around, and choose the
one that Is to go undrowued. The
which selection from the litter born of
summer madness she will then suborn
with things sufficient to unlock its
eyes, and hurry homeward with the
grasping prize.
The busted tourist will return from
France with hotel stickers stuck all
over his pants, and tarred and postal
carded by his friends, will reap the
penalty of what he sends. They'll
waltz him up and down upon a rail,
and alternately turn him head and
tail, or howsoever they may best enjoy
the views in Venice or the site of Troy.
The festive calt will blithely sniff
and snort, and deftly tip up where the
hair is short, and in the quiet even
afterglow the quail will pipe bis dulcet
piccolo. The bold Insurgent will ln-
surge the more, and fill the planet with
its dreadful roar, and each one betting
he will not be last, the autumn candi
dates will gallop past.
The new progressive and the demo
crat, the uninsurging that are standing
pat, and in the midst of them, unfaint
of heart, our Mr. Bryan on the water
cart. A maze of issues, and a mass of
men, and lo! a gallas busting now and
then, and not especially alarmed by it,
the trusts desisting til the swarm has
lit.
The man from Elba trying to come back.
And the poor consumer in bis cul-de-anc
Unkowlng If the quaking earth portends
Death or the near approach, perhaps, of
friends.
But howsoever and be it as it may,
the dread mosquito will have had its
day, and joining Satan in its spectral
growth, have made it real hell there for
them both. The while the earthly
remnant of it swings upon the screen,
and drying clings to that post which,
though wanting mortal fire, it still
holds with its face against the wire.
Tbe sad llrst day of school will come to
pass.
And tbe barefoot boy will hide out In the
grass.
And by the time wo.ve caught these mal
contents, The Urlppen chase will look like thirty
cunts.
Milady Fashion in her hobble skirt
will stride the pavement with the men
alert to set her right side up again in
caBO she should in time turn turtle any
place. It does beat thunder what the
women wear, and how they stick on
othei peoples hair, constrict their mid
dles and constrain their toes and what
importance they attach to clothes.
But bless us are they after all to blame
or had they been in these things quite
tbe same if Mother Eve's first thought
as we suppose, had not been necessari
ly of clothes? Was it to be expected in
her case that with a man somewhere
upon the place she ever thought of
anything at all but gowns, slipovers,
or perhaps a sbawIT
But anyhow, the crawfish will have holed,
And the pumpkin shown the faintest trace
of gold.
The sassafras will don a redder dress,
And the gods will crowd around tbe cider
press.
Or prohibition or whatever will, here
is a foundation that shall serve us still,
a place of rest and a steal away out in
to the desert and the heat of day. A
place of quelt and the shade of palms,
of irrigation and the soothing balms
that no reformer till the poles embrace
shall ever capture for a bathing place.
The hosts of labor will parade the
street which will remind us of a happy
feat in arbitration from the olden days
when Julius Caeser was a sort of cra.e.
It is related of that ancient time that
sweet September in that Roman clime
was hot as blazes, and tbe union file
could only march about half a mile.
It wasn't anything at all, they say,
to watch th.e mighty pageant get away,
the music playing and the flags dis
played, and see it suddenly duck for
the shade. The gasping drummer
with bis sounding drum, the bronzed
mechanics who had perhaps had come
a dozen squares, and in the frantic
rout, age apprentice with Its tongue
stuck out.
The faint impression the procession
made on Roman capital for long dis

THE OPENING
Of Ohio State Fair at Columbus
Next Week Most Complete
Exhibit Ever Shown.
Final preparations for the Slate Fair
are rapidly nearing completion. En
tries have closed, and the show will
assume the proportion of a National
Exposition. The fair grounds no pre
sent a busy acene. Exhibitors are
busily engaged in installing the mam
moth exhibits and displays. Rules
require all exhibits to be in place rea
dy for public inspection by H A. M.,
Monday, September 5th. All exhibit
toas are co-operating with the manage
ment that the big exposition may open
on scheduled time.
Street cars of tbe capital city are now
in full operation, and these in connec
tion with the steam roads will afford
ample transportation facilities between
the city and the fair grounds.
Ihe entertainment and amusement
program of Exposition grander than
ever before. Harness races, band con
certs, thrilling circus acts, daily, while
each night Pain's masterpiece, "Battle
in the Clouds," will be presented.
Monday, September 5th, has been
designated Woman's Day. All ladies

breaking crowds are predicted.
Change
in Corporate
Name
Western Ohio Automobile Co.
to
The Celina Auto Co. Is
Announced.
"The Celina Auto Company" is the
newly incorporated name of Celine's
big garage and automobile house,
which bas been doing business for
sometime past under tbe name of the
Western Ohio Automobile company.
Since the Incorporation of the firm
under the latter name they have been
having considerable confusion in tele
phone and mail matters with the West
ern Ohio Railway comyany in this city.
and several firms with Western Ohio"
attached to their company names in
neighboring towns, and for this reason
the change was made. The title of the
new firm is even more appropriate than
the old name, as it gives the location
of the company and expresses in a
much shorter way the company's busi
ness. Since purchasing the South Main
garage from Mr.Conner the business of
the firm has so greatly enlarged that a
big addition was made to tbe building
this summer. The growth of business
as made this space inadequate and
next spring will see an even larger ad
dition made.
The company, which has this year
ad only the agency for the E. M. F.
30 and Ford cars, have secured for next
year also the agency of the Cadillac
nd Overland machines. Two different
makes of run-abouts will also be added
to their list and with this array of ma
chines, practically the only cars selling
Ing in this section of the state, they will
do almost all the automobile business
of the county.
