HBh Teachers, more than a thousand of Bll them, wore gathered in Barrett hall yee- Hl terday morning to listen to the eminent HB educator and author, Dr. Hubert M. BH Skinner. Tho subject of his lecture was, HSB "Tho Greatest of Lyrlo Poems." which Hn Dr. Skinner name-d that psalm beginning Btf "Tho Lord Is My Shepherd." Bl "This poem." said Dr. Stclnnor, "Is Bfl probably known by heart to everyone Hjfl here It is better known In tho world nj9 than any other poem ever written H5 Tho lecturer then described the origin Hi J of King David, his purpose being to J 3 3 tshow that as a humble shepherd bo , the HE A 'writer had experienced such things as J j would naturally lead him to use the Hjj 3 figures used in this lyric This explains Hjj j why David refers to tho Lord as a shepherd, and to the rod and st iff whioh comfort, both of these being used by the Hi H shepherds lo save the sheep from harm. Wnnnln rr of tho "Table " VI Preliminary to explaining the Hue, 5 "Thou sctt,t a taldo before me. In the presence of mine, enemies " Dr. Skinner l told tho story of David's capture of ft -l "Jobuza." the ancient city afterward J called "Jebusalom. ' and finally "Jeru- jj salem," a mmbinatlon of " Jobuza" and jj "Salem, ' meaning "Peace." After If David's capture of this city, its In- lE habitants, recognizing his superior ability lj and character, became his friends and Hij mingled with him in greatest friendship d ;7 some of thi m marrying his people. Oft n these people must have pet, at the s.vme table, which was thus spread for him In tic the presence of his former enemies. Q In .speaking of the figure of the sheep and shepherd, the speaker, w filing to show Its strength. said In this psalm 1 jj we sec the early occupation Of David H I, He was a shepherd. If the human rare were to du today, in two years there A would be no sheep living upon the globe J f. This shows tho dependence of sheep upon 1 1 man, and especially upon the shepherd. A Strong Figure. tjv '1 once thought that this psalm vto- JI Isted the rule of rhetoric that such a! Hftj figure debases the subject But the Kl J Strength of It Is apparent now HJ a "'For his name'- sake' m u.-- for his H'l 3 own sake and not for ours. In the house ! of the Txird.' Is a spiritual allusion, mean- 1 ' j lug In the lovo and care of God The .nf-ferenco .nf-ferenco between the will and shall In the I last lino means that God will to follow I me with goodness and mercy, but It is In I my wIlT whether I remain In tho house of I tho Ird forever." I Beffire beginning the regular lecture H if Dr SkJnner took occasion to say that one Hi li of tho strong chara.-torlstls tie had no- Hll ; tlced in the evening of pleasure Tuesday Hv night, was tho Inspiring nddrrss of Gov. H . Cutler. "It seemed good to see thai tho Governor did not take his hat and leave l he hall as soon as he had spoken, as Is so often the case Instead, he. came and brought Mrs. Cutler ami stayed the whole evening making himself one of thoso gathered there."

Barratt hall was crowded again last night by the teachers of the Stale Institute Insti-tute to listen to the learned address ( It llubeit M Bklnner. Unfortunately the time was too limit, it to allow a thorough discussion of the gentleman's subject, which WSJ The Neglected Cycle." in leading up to bis subject he traced In an Interesting manner tho various tales of mythology, which were originated through the Fall of Troy. These were to be a prelude pre-lude to hln subject, the cycle Of Klnpr Arthur Ar-thur It wis unfortunate that this cyclO could not have been given also, although the others were- entertaining! told. The point made by Dr Skinner was that the tales should lie iod, not its history, but for the lessons to be learned from them.
