mcnding a change in the manner of APP

! vor of the change developed and 1t was
accomplished this morning without
fight.
The session was devoted to what is
termed The Educational Round Up" and
all sorts of topics pertaining to education
al matters were discussed. The papers
were short being limited to fifteen min
utes each. but there were more of them
than usual. 1t was the beginning Of the
last day of the convention, but the inter-
est in the proceedings showed no abate-
ment The audience was nearly as large
as that on the opening day and the people
were on hand as promptly. At $50
President Skinner called the meeting to
order and it was evident that the school
inc they had had during the week had
had an effect upon the people, for they
became quiet very quickly. When order
had been secured the Rev. =. w. White
of the Baptist Tabernacle was introduced
to open the meeting with prayer.
President Skinner then presented Gin
ton Scollard. the poet, whose home is at
Clinton, n. Y, who was on the pro
granme to read q poem on "The March
of the Ideal" lIr. Scotland reads as
well as he writes, and he rendered his
poem with all the fire and eloquence be-
longing to the divine affiatus.

Educational Round Up was read by Car
roll 9. Pearce, superintendent of schools
of Omaha, who talked on the topic Has

by O. L. Corson state commissioner of
common schools, Columbus, o.
After Mr.. Corson came Miss Reel,
most attractively gowned in modlsh
white organdie, with bunch of Ameri-
can Beauties in her belt. Her person
atty, so essentially womanly, must Lave
been reassuring to those who apprehend
at an early date the total obliteration of
the lines defining the feminine in dress
and department by reason of the fact
that so many women have come to the
fore. Miss Reel is an easy, forceful
speaker with q perfect endnciation and
her talk was feryent plea for the need
of the rights of teachers and incidentally
the rights of pupils in that no teacher
should hold to the profession whose
heart was not in the work.
