milkweeds and fed them on the leaves
until they would spin their cocoon and
went into the chrysalIs state. Miss
barrow rehearsed the pleasures expert
enced by the pupils in studying the
lizards and all sorts of objects, and in
tlmated that a great deal had been
urged against natural science pursuits
In the schools because of the ignorance
OF teachers. But, she argued, that this
did not apply.
NO matter if she does teach some things
that are not facts-as the class advances
these will all correct themselves said she.
Mrs. Grafton gave a delightful bit of
experience in teaching natural science,
aptly illustrated. She spoke with en-
thuslastic fervor and created general
sympathy for her erudite views. After
illustrating the diversity of the natural
talents of children, she declared that
While books are important factors they
are not everything. Thought can beck
pressed in two ways-by the agency of
language and it can be elOquently
wrought out by the hands. She spoke
particularly of the Importance of the
tasks delegated to the primary teacher.
She should be most wonderful woman,
yet she is not expected to be an expert.
She must know everything about every
thing intuItively, and when the
pupil reaches the high school
the foundation for all future develop
ment has been laid. The speaker was
an ardent advocate of the system of
teaching temperance hygiene. and she
narrated experiences IN teaching in a
four-room graded school, where the pu-
pills are mostly Germans. In Germany
the teachers are all men. Women are
not allowed TO teach at all, and natur-
of ha oh III hnr
say: "Oh, your teacher is only woman.
Of course, she can't teach you much"
and the children are taken out OF the
pubic schools usually at the age of
fourteen and sent to a private school
to get cUrSory knowledge of the Eng
llSh language, but they are sent to a
man to get an education. Mrs. Grafton
SAID that she often speculates upon the
coming generation, wondering what
sort of fruit the seed sown in this will
produce.
cuSsed the nature of children, stating
thatit is intellectual, physical
and spiritual-and she urged upon
teachers to remember that the most i'm
portant OF the three is the spiritual-the
spiritual development is the highest,
and she advocated teaching the unity
OF nature, and the unity of the creator
OF nature.
Prof. Cheney, of Mortified, stated
that teacher once said to him that be-
tween the pupil who had a knowledge
of science and the one who knew moth
ing about it, he preferred the latter.
Supt. Davis cautioned against loading
down the nina of children. By leaving
1t to the Judgment of the thousands of
teachers channel is opened up that
flood the child's mind, precludIng the
possibility of method.
Supt. Hatch, of Illinois; Supt Gill

at different places on different dates, by
which means applicants were enabled
to get hold of the list Of questions after
the first examination had been held,
and thus possess an unfair advantage.
He suggested that those preparing to
teach be given an inducement to attend
the normal schools by giving to normal
taught teachers % per cent of the state
apportionment IN the district where
they teach.
AT this point very general, and not
altogether orderly, discussion was pre-
clpitated, the floor being claimed by a
half dozen speakers at once, motions
and counter motions being fired at the
chair with beWildering rapidity, until
State Supt. Kiehle took the floor aud
poured oil on the troubled waters with
a motion, providing that no blanks shall
be sent out to county superintendent
for examination except the eXamina-
tons be held simultaneously. This
motion went through by vote of % to
3, showing strong majority in favor
simultaneous examinations throughout
the state.
The general discussion was partici-
pated i'll by Supts. Chapman, Covell,
Gaines. McKelvie, Olson. Winnings and
many others whose ia mes it was inn
possible to catch in the confusion. An
Journment was then taken 10 this morn

THE EVENING WORK.
Calisthenic Exercises and a Pleas
ant Talk by DIR. Baker.

The professors, teachers and superin-
tendents had delightful evening at the
high school assembly hall. A diversi-
fed programme had been prepared for
the occasion. Miss Morgan and hel class
of graceful and pretty girls gave an exhi-
bltlOn of free gymnastics, the wand eX-
erclSe and an exposition of the beautiful
DelSarte movement, and Prof. MetZka
gave two excellent cello solos. and was
accompanied on the piano by Miss Nor
gan. DR.. Smith Baker, of Minneapolis,
delivered an eloquent and forcible adj
dress upon the dignity of the primary
teacher. 1t was rhetorical eulogy and
he was frequently applauded as
he proceeded. DR.. Baker pre-
faced his remarks by recOunting
his personal experiences as country
school teacher in New England, and a
recital of his boyhood memories of the
little red school house. He said that to
the New England born man there were
few more pleasant memories than that
of the country school house where he
first entered the paths of crude learn
ing. He remembers the school
house with unSpeakable delight
and sacredness. The first teacher
was like 10 other teacher, and the first

boys that studied with him, that read
with him. that recited with him, that
sat on the hard benches with him. that
pelted snOwballs with him, that divided
apples with, that went to the head of
the class and then to the foot. that went
to the spelling schools, that flirted with
the girlS-Mr. Baker said the New
England born man always wonders if
the boys and girls of today have so
much pleasure when they first enter the
temple of learning. "God bless the
New England school house." he ex-
claimed with fervOr, land God bless the
school houses everywhere"
He recalled with vivid memory the
time he first entered upon his duties as
a schoOlmaSter. He was sixteen years
of age, the school house was sixteen
miles away. there were sixteen fami-
lies in the district, the school term was
sixteen weeks, his salary was SIC a
month, he boarded sixteen days at a
house, and there was a slXteen-year-Old
| Yankee girl where he boarded.

He recited the fun he had in demon
strating that he was master. They had
twelve weeks of gymnastics in the true
Yankee style, and he won the admira-
ton and respect of every boy in the
school.
DR.. Baker then paid a glowing tribute
to individual dignity, properly illustrat-
ing the thought. He said the street

orable than the bank president, ETC.. and
the primary teacher occupies more ex-

STUDIES OF LANGUAGE.
Latin. SyntaX and IdiOms Dis
cussed by the High School De-
Dartment

Latin. SyntaX and IdiOms Dis
cussed by the High School De-
partment
The session of the high school depart
ment was held in the afternoon in room
Is, and was given over to a discussion
upon the utility, disciplinary value and
most comprehensive systems to teach
Latin and the modern languages in the
public schools. The discussion was
opened by JabeZ Brooks, ID. D., of the
state university, who took the position
that the most proper conception of the
Latin OF Greek languages could be ar
rived at only by the effort of the stu
dent to study the effect of Greek or
Latin word upon one to whom the Ian
guage was a mother tongue, and repro
duce that effect in the English. The
idioms of the language studied should
be accurately understood, and rendered
as the initial step to comprehensive
knowledge of the language.
Miss Margaret Evans. of Carlton col
lege, Mortified, devoted her allotted
time to the quickest ways of giving a
knowledge of forms. syntax, idiOms and
| vocabulary of 500 to LOCO words. Her
plan of imparting vocabulary TO a
class was to make out a list of thirty
six words, selected from sentences, and
impress them on the class. Then the
recitation for the following day to con-
Sist of a reproduction of these words.
By this means she had found that a vO-
! cabulary of 1000 words could be gained
by all average pupil which he would
have at ready command after forty les
sons.
Miss Mabel Peck, of the Rochester
| high school, treated the subjects of
idiOms and syntaX. She had found that
the inductive method gave a more ac-
curate and complete knowledge of form,
and the material gained by this course,
added to the mental discipline of the in
ductive method, was especially useful
in gaining more thorough knowledge
of declension.
Principal Helen Switzerland, OF the
Albert Lea high school, spoke on forms
and the best methods of acquiring a vo-
cabulary, and Prof. Thompson, of Ham
line, discussed the best methods
of securing in class transIa-
tons the spirit of the orig
inal text. Prof Griffin. of the
HamlIne university, treated of the
branches of Synt9X and idIomS and the
best methods of imparting a vocabulary.
The discussion was closed by Prof. j.
>. Clark, of the state university, who
summed up the various points which
had been covered in the general discus
sion, offering such general suggestions
as were prompted by his own expe-
rience and observations of the plans of
instruction in vogue in the various in
situations of which he had knowledge.
After the discussion was closed there
was general mingling together of teach
erS in Il social way, old acquantanceS
who had not met since the last session,
shaking hands and talking shop.
