Organization and System in Edu-
cation Means to an End.

1t was stated that 1000 teachers left
the city yesterday on excursion trips to
various places of interest. There were
consequently many vacant seats at the
Peoples church yesterday morning
when President Garfield called the gen.
eral session to order. "Organization
and System versus Originality and In
dividualism in Teacher and PupiP' was
the subject Of a paper read by Henry
Sabin. of Des MOineS, 10. He said:
desire to enter a plea for the child. To
recall the almost forgotten fact that the su-
preme object of the child's education is the
child himself. Organization and system are
chinery for running the schools. and within
proper limits are a necessity. We are willing
to concede to them all they can claim when
viewed from business standpoint What
is the machine goodifor?' finds its answer in
the value of the product. The school must
be organized on business principles. In ad-
dition it must be granted that organization
and system are very important aids in the
formation of correct and exact habits of ac-
ton, which is one of the main OBJ
jects to be kept in mind during the
child's life at school. To be ac-
customed to follow daily routine of work;
to do certain thiEgs at fixed times; to be
guided by the hands of the clock, the odds
and ends, the products of the child's whims
and notions which are often woven tOgeth-
er, or carefully tied up in bundle and la
beled education. form no substantial founda-
ton ou which to build q noble character
But organization and system have their limi-
tation. The extremes of organization are
seen in the school in one direction, where
there is conspicuous absence of any plan or
method of procedure, and in the other di-
rection when there is conspicuous absence
of any plan or method, ,a1d in the other drec-
tion when the martinez predominates and the
children are robbed of their right to be chill
dren. The present tendency is in TWO direc-
tions. In our larger cities there is very de-
cided disposition to dethrone the system and
enthrone the school. On the other hand. in
our smaller towns the machine seems to have
taken fresh lease of life, so that school
which has but six rooms will have as many
grades. Originality is of a lower degree than
individuality. 1t is coin which has its
value, but it is OF baser metal. A man of
intense individuality is usually a man Of
strong convictions He is tenacious of pur-
pose, his ideas are clear and sharp.

Marking the Brilliant Discussion
Of the Race Problem.
Following the vocal and instrumental
selections by Prof. Titcomb and the
House of Hope choir at the Peoples
church last evening, President Garfield
introduced Mr.. Becker, of Colorado,
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tions, who read the report OF the associ-
alton to as large an audience as
ever crowded into the house.
Among many salutary resolutions
which the gentleman submitted,
the report embodied pointed tax upon
the need for greater moral teaching to
the youth of our schools. The assOcia-
tion heartily recommended the whole
some literature of the White Cross
movement. and asked all to aid in the
prosecution of its noble cause. 1t sup
ported all efforts which blended the ma
terial education of the child with the
spirit of Christianity. The needs of the
time called for the general instruction
of the truest ethics of politics. as con-
the man for citizenship.
Our schemeof education should Sc
cure to tevery child the broadcast view
of life, liberty and social and moral OBJ
legations. The association pledged
itself to the deepest interest in the edu-
cation of Indians. 1t applauded the
efforts of Commissioner Morgan for the
spreading of the mental welfare of the
red men, and the establishment of the
Indian schools. The association ia
vored the repeal of all laws which i'm
posed duty on all books printed in the
English language which are imported
into the United States. The Northwest
was praised for its vast developments
and its progressive spirit in the mold
ing of man and material.

ELEMENTARY CONCLUSIONS.

Ending of Very Prominent and
Interesting Department..
AT yesterday afternoons session of
the elementary department. held at the
Newmarket theater, President Bette
A. Dutton in the chair, there was good
attendance, and the speakers were re-
ceived enthusiastically each in turn.
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton Harris delivered most interesting
discourse on 'Fairy Stories and Nursery
Tales" The latter. he said. served
very useful purpose. The mind of the
child in the effort to comprehend them
passed through the same process of
logical reasoning as would be called
into use for the understanding of more
important matters. Most of the fairy
stories extant were, he said, really
the, mythology of the age. ground
down pebbles. as 1t were. from
the history of the race. The old Morse
stories of Thor, the legend of Jack the
Giant Killer, and all the rest of them
were all symbOlical OF events in history
long passed. Prof. Harris, in an inter-
esting manner, showed the derivation
giant stories which figure so prominent
ly in the mythology of Norseland and
the fairy tales which have delighted
childish ears, as it seems, almost from
time immemorial. The address was
one of the most interesting of the con-
vention, and was followed by hearty ap-
plause. Following came the report of
the nominating committee, the nOmlna-
tiOns being: For president, II. s. Jones;
for vice president, Julia S. Tutwiler;
for secretary, Miss Nellie f. Wheaton.

nominations unanimous was seconded,
and the officers staEd elected as
proposed. Supt. Gilbert. in brief
address deprecated the tendency of edu-
cational boards to line teachers ON the
same principle as domestlcs, and i'll
some leading questions pointed at the
parents of children attending the pub
lie school the folly of such system.
Mrs. D. L. Williams, of Delaware, O.,
ratified the remarks made by Prof. Gil
bert and devoted half aD hour to an
interesting talk on teachers she had
met. Mrs. Jennie S. Mclaughlin. OF
Illinois, in a paper on Teacher and
Parent" deprecated the lack of supple
mentary efforts to that of the teacher by
the parent. On the other hand, how
ever, she pleaded the many duties of
the mother, and showed that she must
not be criticized too severely. Seven
little maids, led by Julius Simonet,
ten-yeOr-Old phenomenon, sang couple
of chOruses very cleverly, and were
given hearty encore.

FROM NORTHERN MEN.
How the SOutherners Elected
Their Candidate

HOW Cne SOuCnofnerS ELECTED
Their Candidate.
The opposition to Prof. Garrett for
the presidency originates entirely from
Northern teachers, and largely for rea-
sons already stated The Northern
teachers, however, are solely RESPONSE
BILE for Mr.. Garrett's nomination, as he
secured it only by the negligence OF the
Northern members in not attending the
meeting OF the nominating committee.
This committee was appointed by Pres
ident Garfield on Thursday night. 1t
consisted Of
j. s. Fickard, of Iowa; Solomon Palmer. of
Alabama; T. A. Tuttall, of Arkansas; Aaron
Gore, of Colorado; D. W. Hurd, of Connecti-
cut; G. II. Clemmer, of North Dakota; G. A.
Mcfarland, of South Dakota; Zolman Rich
ards, of District Of Columbia; Il. L. Kern, of
Kork, of illinois; W. A. Bell, of Indiana;
John Mcdonald. of Kansas; NJ H. Bartholo-
NEW, of Kentucky; G. ]. Ramsey, of Louis
lana; NJ. G. Fernold, of Maine; E. w.
of Michigan: II. Judson, of Minnesota; Supt
Preston, of Mississippi; j. I. Buchanan, OF
Missouri; r. G. Young, of Montana: R. j.
Barr of Nebraska; c. G. Rounds, of Mon
tana; 7. NJ. Marshall, of New Mexico; E. W.
Bardeen, of New York; Supt Finger. of
North Carolina; John Hancock. of Ohio: c.
B. McElroy, OF Oregon: E. A. Lyte, of Penn
sylvania; l.. P. johnson, of South Carolina:
Frank Goodman, of Tennessee; Oscar Cooper,
of Texas; Robert E. Mckay, of Virginia; F.
b. Gault of Washington Supt Anderson of
West Virginla;J j. W. Stevens, of Wisconsin.
For some unknown reason, and by
whom no one can tell, meeting of the
committee was called for 1890 Wednes-
day, the day following the announce
ment Of members selected Only a
dozen members of the committee at
tended at that time, and an adjourn
ment was taken until o'clock. The
two candidates for the presidency were
Prof. w. r. Garrett, of Nashville,
Tenn, and DR.. Edwin G. Rewett, of
Normal, Ill. The latter has been treas
urer for number of years and attended
the association meetings for nearly
twenty years. A third name men
toned in connection with the presi-
dency was that of Supt. A. J.
Lane, of Clark county, Illinois. The
leading educators attending the meet
ing, including President Garfield. were
favorable to MI. Cooks selection, but
for some reason his name was not
formally presented before the commit
tee. At the adjourned meeting Garrett
and Hewitt GOT twelve votes each on
the first ballot. During the subsequent
ballots the SouthernerS rushed into the
meeting their delinquent members,
with the result that ultimately Prof.
Garrett secured the nomination of the
committee. There was not full rep
resentation of the Northern mem
bers, but that was their own fault:
the fault of those gentlemen who were
working for the election of Northern
man as president of the great national
body of educators. The Southerners
were too smart for them, and, while
perhaps many will condemn President
Canfield's autOcratic bearing on the
question, others will also condemn the
folly of men attempting to upset the
action of the nominating committee,
which, but for their own careleSsness,
would have been in accordance with
their own desire.

against, as they put it, the autocratic
bearing of President Garfield. They
charge that he was running the associa-
tion meeting in the belief that the asso
citation was Garfield. The feeling of
discomfort became crystalized over the
election OF officers. There were many
teachers-particularly Northern teach
ers-who were opposed to the selection
OF w. X. Garrett as president. They
claimed that, while a good, honest man.
he was not of that high educational
standing to warrant his election to the
presidency of the National Educational
association. This is what thev said:
but those who know say that
Prof. Garrett is opposed because
he is a strong Democrat, an
eX-Confcderate and Southerner. Be
this as it may, when the nominating
committee reported his selection Thurs
D. day morning, the name of Prof. Gar
rett as president and the rest of the
officers were put before the general
meeting of teachers. There was slight
opposition raised by DR.. Vail, of Chi
cagO, but it was only momentarv. for
President Garfield quickly had the com
mlttee'S report before the meeting. and
1t was adopted, though by some it is
argued there was large negative vote.
Under these circumstances it is not.
therefore, at all surprising that the sub,
ject was again brought before the at
tention of the teachers at Yesterday
mornings session. Alex Forbes. of
Chicago. introduced the matter. and he
strenuously protested against the ac.
tion of Thursday in swallowing whole
the report of the nominating committee
without giving the teachers a fair
chance to consider it.
He had just got to this point, when.
bubbling over with the Importance OF
his responsibility, President Garfield
majestically inquired if Mr.. Forbes was
going to move a resolution?
Mr.. Forbes promptly replied. amid
some applause, that he was, and the
president resumed his seat slightly
abashed. Mr.. Forbes continued to ar
raign the present officers for the man
ner in which the names presented by
the nominating committee had been
railroaded through Thursday mornings
session, winding up by the declar-
atiod that the election was illegal.

Read for the Conclusion of the
Secondary Educational Section.
Wednesday the department of Sec
ondary education considered 'The High
School as Fitting School," and yester-
day afternoon the subject was rounded
out bya discussion of 1.-The High School
as Finishing School," The first paper
was by e. A. Steere, of Montana, the
title being 1.-THE High School as a
FactOrin Mass Education" Mr.. Steere
held the chief function of the high
school to be the elevation of the masses,
and advocated practical education.
"Five-siXths of the students of our high
Schools" he said. ''are from the homes
of the laboring classes. The great
power of practical education is being
carried from our high schools to-day to
help move the world tomorrow. We
are learning that life is too short and
the race too swift to spend time and
money in learning what can never be
turned into bread OF meat.
James II. Baker, of Colorado. princi-
pal of the Denver nigh school, read a
paper OH the general topic. His ideas
on practical education were radically
opposed to those of the first speaker.
He said: IA business course is con-
sidered desirable by some, but its in

pose of art instruction she held to be TO

and to impart useful knowledge and
skill. A course of drawing is practical
