TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

Large Attendance at the Convention
at santa Cruz Yesterday.
SANTA CRUZ, Dec. 27.-There was "a
large attendance at the session of the CAL
ifornia State Teachers Association to-
day. The morning session was devoted
to a discussion on mathematics, as it is
proposed to issue new State text books
on arithmetic. In the afternoon it was
decided to hold the rest of the session in
Oakland, there being no opposition. The
election OF officers resulted as follows:
President, Earl Barnes, Stanford; Vice
Presidents, +. =. RUSSELL San Jose; ii.
i. Pennell. Chico; Secretary. Anna MUIR
ply, sacramento; Assistant Secretary
Nv. L. Hall, Facaville; Recording Secre-
tary, Professor McCiimonds, Oakland;
Treasurer. Bessie Haslam, Santa Cruz.
In response to kilograms from Denver
asking the teachers TO attend the session
Of the National Educational Association
IN that city in July, the Secretary was in
structed 10 make a suitable reply.
Professor Bailey OF the State University
read a paper ''On the Teaching Force.'
he said there are grades OF DEVELOPMENT
III history, society and the Individual
Each OF these grades is relatively perfect
If it is healthy. The philosopher is nearer
the ideal than the honorable merchant.
Every man ought to be relatively free.
II he would be healthy, his faculties
must develop at the proper time. The
good citizen, specialist and philosopher
are the types OF manhood to follow.
From these we should come TO the teach
ing force.
Professor Bailey explained what he
meant to convey by character, power and
scholarship. The instincts OF indiyidu-
ality must be cultivated. The soul is an
organism, therefore it needs air, food and
exercise. The teaching force needs the
education OF individuality. Teachers
should grow mp III an esthetic atmos-
phere. They should iced on sight and
sound, and exercise their esthetic tastes.
In mastering speciality, power becomes
master of itself. All teachers should be
specialists in interest, tact and sympathy,
Ihoy should study the school world OF
to-day.
Professor Brown of the State Uni
yersity spoke on the ideal curriculum.
de said that it was desired TO have the
same subjects discussed at ali teachers
institutes, and report the result At the
session OF the State Association. By that
means the teaching by uniform system
might be accomplished.
Professor Pierce, Principal of the Los
Angeles Normal School, spoke on the
