gogy was given by DR.. Hinsdale of the
University of Michigan, Ann -Arbor, the
subject being, "The Law of Mental Con-
guilty and Mental Energy Applied to Some
Pedagogical Questions" The doctor
showed that the rules of teaching and the
arrangement of studies should conform
to the peculiar conditions of the pupil
mind so that that power be used to its
greatest advantage and mental exhaustion
avoided. He dwelt on the urgency OF
teaching students so that one shall not
interfere with the best interest OF the
other.
