he or she understands children, and wins
their love through that fact. We can
none OF us be tactful with children unless
we are Interested in them
By the pedagogical trlad-interest, tact
and sympathy-we can nearly always, If
not always, win the love and respect of
pupils and guide them to higher plane
OF fee!lng and action. Ii the teacher goes
back III nina TO his boyhood and puts
himself in the place of the boy to whom
he IS talking, il will often enable him to
reach the boy as he could not otherwise
DO. The teachers should guard against
1aVorltlsm, as, no matter how hard they
try, they cannot hide it. Children are
MIND readers and see it in the voice, the
| eye, the manner of the teacher, and it
1 cannot be hidden. The only safe way
Is to allow yourself to have no favorites,
| or ii you do, make your favorites those
VINO are least attractive. If you want 10
! study children i'll the natural state you
/ 90 not want to put them into the school
room. Study him at home and in the
playground, where his natural feelings
are not cramped and penned by conven-
! LonahtIes. Then study him in the
schooIroom atterward and you will have
learned something that will help you
} with him.
PRESIDENT JoRDAN'S ADDRESS.
DIR. David 5. Jordan, President of the
! Stanford University, said he should not
/ address the assembly as teachers, but as
| young men and women. The value OF Il
collegiate education depends on the per-
sonal character OF the recipient himself
The IDLE, the lazy, the careless Will come
out OF the college course as the duck does
| from the water into which II diVes-dry,
! and with nothing sticking to him. To
| those who go 10 college in the proper
! spirit and with proper aims its influence
| n tnX r.afS
men who lift them to higher mental
and moral plane.
Many great geniuses, it is true, have
| grown up III solitude, but as a rule what
| OF value we attain is attained by means OF
! what we get by contact with others. The
colleges have aimed at uniformity, but
! the enthusiasm of youth has burst the
DondS. 10 see things as they really are
IS the privilege OF an educated man, and
| the educated man has the courage of his
| convictions, because study has shown
| hIn how convictions are formed. Many
man who proves successful would give
the world TO have ali opportunity to
make up Tor his early deficiencies and
| disadvantages.
1t does not hurt young man or young
| woman TO be ambitious. Without am
| Dltlon they Will never amount to any
| thing. 1t is a mistake TO say 81 cannot
so To college because 1 have no money"
Ii you have health and strength you are
not Ut a disadvantage with the world. Ii
| Is iOoIlSh 10 fepInG because you were not
| born with silver spoon in your mouth
| when little effort Will win you Il gold
one. Remember the cards are stock ed
against the rich mans son. The poor
mans son, who has learned economy
and energy, has won the first blow OF the
battle.
The man who is ready to fill a place
! does not wait Inncr for
tunlty. People soon find him out and he
! Is given an opening. 1t IS useless to put
a S2,OGO education on a 50-cent boy, but
| what is to be said of the man who puts
Il oJ-cent education on million dollar
BOY? There are plenty of such men in
this state, and many are growing up who
VIII always regret the loss of early ad-
| Vautages. From the boys who 90 to col
lege come the future leaders OF the coun-
try, Notwithstanding the fact that man.
OF the college graduates turn out to be
| heWeTS OF wood and drawers OF water.
10 The young man and young woman ol
energy college education does paw All
the professions i'll America are crowded
but the crowd is always at the bottom o1
the Iadder-there is plenty Of room at the
top.
lie instanced the case of young medi-
cal graduate who committed suicide be-
cause he said there was room for no more
NOS6OioJ anu tL6l6 was 10 more
room for such doctors as he would have
been. lie suggested that some of the
teachers might try the same thing on the
ground that there was no room for more
teachers, and perhaps they would moi
miss them and their places would be filled
by others.
George Augusta Sala said that there
was no other country in the world where
so much talent was lying around loose as
in America. Talent that is not trained is
OF no use. America is the paradise o
quacks. The prospectuses of schools
read like the advertisements Of patent
medicine. Every crossroads academy
calls itself college, and issues diplomas
as well as Harvard or Johns Hopkins
Every barber, aeronaut and pugilist is
called professor. These things simply
create contempt for genuine titles.
The noblest lives have left their bes
and highest traces in the lives of theil
tellow-men. If you wantto go TO college
go TO that institution, no matter under
| whose control or patronage, bat the one
that will serve your purpose best. In.
qulre carefully, for you cannot afford tC
waste your opportunity.
The Institute then adjourned till this
morning al $3.50.
