Supt B. T. Reynolds opened yesterday

citation, with paper on the college Ques-
ton" He believed the West should take
good care of its colleges, which are left as an
inheritance. He predicted that in few years
the colleges of the West would be as infiu-
entail as those in the East. cart Education
in Schools" from the pen of Douglas Volk,
of the Minneapolis school of arts, was sub
mitted to the teachers by Prof. Folwell. Two
things, he said. were necessary for success in
art, namely, drawing from subject lessons
and good teaching. Teaching art with
text books was absurd. Notwithstand-
ing ii had been claimed that the
Office of the public school was not to make ar
tists, the object of education really is to de-
Velop all the faculties. Models were exhibited
to show what could be done in art by boys ID
years old. Discussion followed by Harold
Smith, Prof Shepard, Supt Wilson and Prof.

were adopted. the one compimentiug Gov
