THE ORACLE best instructors in the state. She so thoroughly enjoys English work and makes it so interesting for others that the most unappreciative pupil can not fail to enjoy his work.) Her quick sympathy and her keen appreciation of the difficulties of student life are large factors in her success. She is the trusted friend, as well as the honored teacher, and seems peculiarly efficient in appealing to the higher motives of her puoils thus aiding them in the formation of right characters-far more imnortant than educated minds. When school days are past,, many will look back with joy at the time spent under her careful instruction and guidance and may there be opportunity in this school for many more to secure a foundation for such memories. Miss Julia M. Hawes is the efficient instructor of the teacher’s training Class in connection with Watkins High School. This is the fifth year she has filled this position and the school is certainly very fortunate in securing her services. To be a teacher is one of the high-st callings in the world but to have the ability to direct the minds of voung people aspiring to become teachers, so to aid and instruct them that they not onlv learn the best and most modern methods of instruction but come gradually into possession of the teacher’s insight and power—this is indeed, a great work and calls forabilityof a high order. Miss Hawes has this ability. She has a direct, mathematical, incisive mind. Her methods bear testimonv to these qualities and result in quick ness of perception and clearness of understanding on the part of her pupils. She has charge a’so of the work in the high school, in higher mathematics and French. In common with all people who are logical and thorough in their reasoning, Miss Hawes is a lover of truth and a hater of shams. She has an enthusiasm in her work characteristic of the intensity of her nature and a knowledge of the importance of thorough training for teachers. May she be retained long in her efficient work in this community. 1001 Sent. 0. First quarter begins. Sept. f . Teachers’ Training Class organizes, first term. Oct. 17-21. Teachers Institute.
