AFTERNOON SESSION.

LET Boards of Education and Principals
seek for character in the teachers they EN-
ploy; insist upon it as a prime requisite and
discharge teachers who haven't it.
Before beginning to teach. or as soon
thereafter as possible, obtain the broadest,
deepest, most human education within
your reach. One is not even prepared for
teaching arithmetic and geography by the
study of these branches alone, much less
for the task of rearing up healthy, intelli-
gent, generous, sTeet-natured men and
women.
Maintain your interest in the modest
thought and purest sentiment by actively
supporting the teachers reading circle, or
whatever agency brings the best education
to your doors, asking you to participate in
its advantages there, at your own fireside,
and IN your own neighborhood.
Teach the best literature in your schools
that your pupils can understand. They
can understand more than you give them
credit for, perhaps more than you are
capable of understanding yourself.
" Introduce the bible into the schools, in
the least Objectionable manner. as soon as
public sentiment and Boards of Education
will allow. Try to live by its best and
purest teachings and induce your pupils to
do the same
your pupil. Do not stunt the rest of his
body in order 10 cram his brain, nor en-
feeble his moral nature for the sake of S7g
instead of S74 per cent. in examination.
Give his affections and love of beauty a
chance. He will thank you for it by and
by.
"Cultivate the spirit of brotherhood with
your fellow-teachers, and with all the
world. Do not bury yourself nor allow
yourself to be buried. Come out into the
sun, and get warm; if there isn't sunshine
enough to go round, try the experiment of
contributing q little of your own"
James G. Kennedy, President of Cogs-
we'll Polytechnic College, was down on the
programme for an essay, What Would be
gained by the Incorporation of Industrial
Training with the Public School System"
Mr.. Kennedy had been called to his home
on account of sickness in his family, and
his brother read a synopsis of the paper,
which was as follows:
Industrial training defined
Under this head l shall attempt to show the
growth OF industrial work in the public schools;
the industrial side of each study as distinguished
from its academic side; in a word, poif,s out
clearly what is included in Industrial trLt5 ing
Does there exist necessity for the incorpora-
ton OF industrial training with the public
school system?
II is my intention to show that there does
exist necessity for this industrial training and
in obedience to this necessity the public schools
have changed the course of study so as to meet
this demand.

dress on What Would be Sacrificed bv
the Incorporation of Industrial Training

nopsls would begin to present his views
properly, and the address in its entirety
will be published in the RECORD. UNION to-
morrow.
EVENING SESSION.
At the evening session the ommittee on
needed changes in the school law made
their report, which was ordered printed.
William H. Mills, who was to have been
present and speak upon "A Business Mans
Criticism of the Public School," sent a tele-
gram to the President of the Association
saying that on account of ill-health it was
impossible for him to be present.
s ID. Waterman Of GkOctto,, d
McChesney, of Oakland, made short ad-
dresses in answer to the many objections
made by business men to the present school
system.
Rev. G. D. Barrows, of San Francisco,
delivered an eloquent address upon "The
Moralist's Criticism of the Public School. !"
His arguments were ably replied to by A.
Il. Mann, of San Francisco, and Charles H.
Allen, of San Jose.
Mr.. Mann created quite laugh when he
asked What is the proportion of Sunday
school Superintendent to public school
teachers who are enjoying selfimposed
exile in Canada? '
