alton for his services and that espe-
cially more money should be expended
and more attention given to primary
| departments in proportion to that CIV
en- TO the high school at the present
| time.
| In the absence Of Mr.. T. W. Butcher
Of Wellington, in behalf Of the teachers,
| the address was responded TO by Su-
perintendent H F. NJ. Bear OF yelling
ton, who thanked the mayor and the
citizens OF Arkansas City most heartily
for the welcome they had received ana
highly entertained all present
Mr.. John Macdonald was the intro
| duced TO deliver a lecture on Foreign
Teachers" DR.. Wright added, And
the World at Large"
Mr.. Macdonald as usual kept the au-
! dience in laughter by his funny re-
marks and also made many valuable
suggestions.
/ The quar'tette then rendered a beauti-
! ful seleotdon and on being encored, they
entertained the audience with a song
even better than the first
The new president, Superintendent
/ Frank r. Dyer Of Wichita, was next
/ introduced and delivered the annual IN
| augural address, on The Public Schools
| and the Origin of Criticism
! Mr.. Dyer, among other things, plain
J ly showed the advantage OF a liberal
; educa adon over the so-called uailitarian
or practical, clearly proving the most
liberal 10 be the most practical.
! Much criticism Of the schools comes
| from those -ho do not practice them
selves the measures they advise.
He believes the present system Of re-
cesses and play grounds to be wrong
and that one days recess may rub off
all the polish received in a weeks time.
| The school yard, however, should not
/ be made smaller, nor dispensed with,
/ but rather more beautiful.
Intermissions of rest and systematic
exercise are far better than the re
cesses" of today.
Pupils on coming to school go direct
! ly to their rooms and on dismissal di-
( rectly 10 their homes. In this way the
/ chifd's morals are not so likely 20 be
corrupted as at he present time.
The cause of the high school was
warmly commended by the speaker.
The hearty APPLAUSE showed that the
! teachers highly appreciated and heart
lily commended what he had said.
