From Tuesday'* Dally Constitution.
A representative for the Constitution
accompanied by Ross Houston, county
clerk, visited the normal this morning.
The
work at
few minutes recess. After recess a
half hour is spent in general exercises,
which consists of an address by some
member of the normal faculty or a
visitor.
This morning andyesterday morning
the Uachers have listened to Dr.
Greenwood, superintendent of the
Kansas City schools, and hiB subject
this morning was teaching or a talk on
Education. Tne following is an outline
of his subject:
1. Teaching is simply helping the
mind to perform it« function of know-
ing and growing.
2. To produce iffects on a living or-
ganism, to modify forces which begin
by being pyscliological and end by b -
ing sociological.
3 Management deals with the or-
ganization of the individual school 2nd
its courses of study, and with the cor-
relation and administration of all its
educational forces.
4. Method deals with the principles
upon which good teaching rests, and
with the means of making each subject
in the curriculum produce the best re-
sults.
5. Much depends upon the order and
way in which a body of knowledge is
built into the mind.
preaentt it to the claw as a lecture
everyday. In bis opening remarks he
gave a definition for teaching and he
•iys it if simply helping the mind to
parform its functions of knowing and
growing. He referred to the post or
lecture and note system of our colleges
and denounced such a system as not
teaching, but posting a sign that gives
limited knowledge and d< es not make
a practical man. His talk was full of
practical illustrations and especially
with reference to reading and spelling
In reading so much time is wasted and
it is the teacher's place to guide,
point out and teach the child not only
how to read but what to read. Some

tory, *nd lead the child off into fiction
so far that he can not get away from
stories of old.
Dr. Greenwood said in teachii g the
teacher should not assume that the
child knows nothing, but lead him or
allow him to branch out, but do not let
the child get off of the subject but
make him dig and show him where to
dig. In speaking of the way we are
educated he said:
"Sixty per cent of our knowledge
comes from the sense of sight," and as
an illustration he used the love-sick
young man, first he sets her, he hears
her talk and finally the love is too
strong to resist, he takes her hand and
■he pulls it back. The doctor is £
humorist and his lecture t( night will
be fine.
Bankers vs. Post Office.

6 The real problem is how to get I represented the post office, in a lively
mind out to matter and matter into J base ball game yesterday. This game
mind. I was the laughable sport of the y ^ar,
7. The beBt teaching is done when
making the mind hungry for the best
nutriment.
8. The general operations of learn-
ing are three—acquisition,assimilation
and expression.
9. Expression has three forms; in
physical bearing, in language and in
repre entation.
10. Method iB causing the pupil to
pasB consciously from simple precepts
to concepts, and from concepts to
judgments.
11. The work and contents of the
learner's mind must be brought into
adequate expression.
12. Impressions should always be
supplemented by adequate expressions.
Expression is the best of teaching.
13. Tne lesson falls under thre-
heads—(1) the assignment, (2) the
preparation, (3) the recitation.
14. In teaching, the teacher's per-
sonality is the great factor.
15. Teaching skill is needed to dis-
co ver ignorance and its causes.
16. Teaching is consciously to in-
struct, to develop to train and to test
results.
17. The reoitation must be conducted
for the benefit of each member in the
class.
18. In each study certain things are
to be learned outright by main force of
memory.
19. Under expression three forms
may be mentioned; (1) physical, (2)
intellectual and emotional, (3 > speak-
ing, writing and behavior.
Superintendent Greenwood did not
discuss all the subjects mentioned
above, owing to lack of time but his
talk was a revelation to the teacher
that cuts the lesson off, dries it up and
for every moment was characterized
by some frantic play.
Five innings were played at d the
government officials can now foot up
a score of 9 to 5 in favor of the money
exchanges. The bankers were in the
game and despite the fact that Post-
master White introduced the new
feature of u*ingtwo balls, his boyslo*t.
A nother game will be played in the
future. We can't give the positions
of the pl<yers every man in both teams
played all over the diamond as an ex-
hibition of base ball.
From Caddo County.
The ' county superintendent of
scIiooIb of Caddo county, Maud E.
Wldamon, and Miss I.aura Garrison,
formerly of the Woods county high
Bchool, but now an instructor iu the
Caddo institute, came down last even-
ing to attend the lecture delivered by
I)r. Greenwood. This morning they
visited the institute and each made a
short talk. They return to Anadarko
today.
Completed Inspection.
Ageut Silcot has completed his in-
spection of the big pasture and will
file his report with the prop, r authori-
ties in Washington in a few days. He
found the improvements of the cattle-
men satisfactory and there will be no
trouble along tnat line. Relative to
the leasing of this land, the agent is
receiving hundreds of letters every-
day.
Profs. Karrett, Bohannon, Roberts,
Supt. Nelson and C. S. Powell went
out to Medicine Bluff this afternoon.
From Monday's Dally Constitution.
The hall game yesterday would not
have been a wonder to the man from
the Wilds of Arka. is. It vcas good
and it wasn't good. The number of
errors made on both sides would have
scared to death the "Weary Willie" of
rawhide district had all of them been
counted that good base ball counts.
Now the reason why there is so much
talk about this game being ragged,
slow and all that, is because some
members in each team indulged in the
rural district roasting. Players of the
national game, think of that, roasting
the umpire and each other like country
school boys. The thing to do is, for
players to bench themselves and keep
quiet. It sometimes goes wrong let
the captains settle the matter and the
umpire should understand the game,
and put on the bench the players that
wrangle; and roast,| and if this is not
enough, put them out of the game.
Some how the fans are not enthusiastic
enough. They should yell their play-
ers on to victory, encourage them by
going to the games, hence every one
has a part to play.
Now laying aside the faults of the
play ers who forgot themselves yester-
day, you would hsvfc enjoyed the game
had you been there. Quanali went to
the bat first but Ray let them down
without a score, only two touching the
bases. Lawton didn't do quite so well,
only Lakin reached the initial bag,
O'Bryan retiring the side. Score
Lawton 0, Quanah 0.
The second inning was liken unto
the first, only that Quanah had two
men on bases wli.le Lawton, laid down
the slab like one, two, three out.
Score Lawton 0, Quanah 0.
The third inning was a surprise to
the Lawton boys, so much so that they
came near losing their breath. Ray
was pounded just a little, but the
errors of the team filled the bases.
Netherly struck a safe one by first
base and away ite went. Hanson fol-
lowed by doing a similar act. Johnson
managed to reach first and Netherly
touched home on a passed ball. Rogers
hit a high fly to left field, which was
pulled down by T. Pokorny and allow-
ing him to double by throwing to Tarr,
but Hanson crossed the final plate
giving Quanah two scores. Everything
went quiet until the Lawton boys be-
gan to find Mathew's, who had them
guessing for awhile. Score Lawton 0,
Quanah 2.
In the fourth each side was retired,
but not until the Quanah aggregation
allowed Tarr to score, closing the
mill. Lawton 1, Quanah 2.
The fifth was a duplicate of the
fourth—Lawton made one.—Lawton 2,
Quanah 2.
The seventh was certainly character-
istic for long flies pulled down by ("iod
field work, but noscoreB.
In the eighth Mathew's poor th ow
gave Lawton ti e game. Tarr went
around to third on a neat Bacrafice by
Lakin and O'Brian went to bat and
sent one into the pitcher's hand and
here Tarr scampered off third fooling
Mathew's until O'Brian was almost to
first and in trying to catch him Math-
ews threw the ball to first but the first
baseman could not pick it up, allowing
Tarr to score and O'Brian went to
second, Sigmon the next man up re-
tired the side.
Quanah' last chance was soon
A few easy pop ups aDd it was all
Score, Lawton 3, Quanah 2.
