State Secretary Ferguson, in reporting
the State work, called attention to the
fact that a great deal of work is required
to keep the organization up to the desired
standard; and yet we wish to do even
better than this-to advance and to intro
duce new methods. AS an illustration,
the inception Of the summer primary
school of methods was referred to and
the success which had attended this
work, though it's beginnings we're little
understood. Now there are eighteen
unions in the State, in which sections
unite to study primary methods, and the
union at Woodstown received most favor.
able mention. Encouraged by the success
in this direction, and realizing a still
broader need, work has been begun in
developing intermediate teaching, and
the two-day institute and convention now
being held was regarded as q good begin
ming. The needs of the State work were
presented and as we'll the wide field
before the International Association and
the work it is doing. Reference was
made to the death of William Reynolds,
at Peoria, ILL.,, long the International
Field Secretary, news of which had just
been received, and appropriate mention
made of his great work.
Mrs. T. a. Skillman, of New Bruins
wick, closed the morning session with
an excellent address on the care which
