CITY TEACHERS MEETING
Interesting Session Held Yesterday
in the Normal Rooms

The second general meeting of the city
teachers was held yesterday, October %,
in the Normal rooms at the City building,
between the hours of and L.
Devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. Dubber, of the Christian church, af-
ter which the roll was called. The High
school teachers responded with quotations
appropriate to their respective lines of
work and the others answered attendance.
After some music, conducted by Miss
Clark, the program proper was COM
menced and it proved one of the most in
teresting in the history of the meetings.
The teachers subscribed to the very ex-
cellent monthly publication, Educational
Foundations, and a most earnest and
thoughtful discussion, according to out
line Of the September number. constituted
the first part of the program. The meet
ing proved that the topics had been
studied by the entire corps, and as they
were assigned at the time of the discus
sion, no one had prepared on any special
points, but all had prepared on every
point.
Some very fine extemporaneous talks
were made and the spirit of the whole
meeting showed an honest and earnest de-
sire on the part of all teachers to know
everything possible which would aid them
in giving to their pupils the right system
os educati ton. which (as discussed) was not
only Instructive but a development Of the
moral and religious sentiments. The out
line embraced four general divisions:
l. The social function of education.
2. Development of scientific child study.
3. Normal order of child growth.
4. A wise system of school discipline
Each topic had several subdivisions and
had all been said which might have been
said if allowed, the meeting would have
held many hours after the time OF Clos
ing.
Along the line Of physical culture, the
next number on the program was devoted
to calisthenics, and Miss Jane Bu-d pre-
sented a very good paper on the subject
How Best to Use Betz Manual o. Phys
ical Culture in the School Room" TO en-
phasize which she gave an illustrative les
son. Miss Burd's pupils have ever been
especially proficient in this line, and the
lessons before the teachers bore ample
testimony 10 the fact. The pupils were
Misses Bessie Conklin, Grace Davidson,
Pearl Frankenfield. Bernice Burris and
Messrs. George Merry. Earl Miller, Ray
mond Little. Roy Reeve.
Miss Slower. principal OF the Normal
school. was next on the program and her
paper was Suggestions Of Plans OF Study
of Educational Foundations" She named
a number of reference books in connection
with the study and suggested having two
more placed in the city library so that all
might have access 10 them. The city IL
brary has a value collection of books on
this subject. the titles of which Miss Sto-
Yer named. Miss Stover's ideas have ever
proved helpful and her numbers on the
program always enlist greata interest
