 The second morning session of the National Historical association, now convened in New Haven, opened yes- terday morning in the auditorium of the New Haven Colony Historical soci- ety's building on Grove street. The programme was carried out as printed in the Journal and Courier. Professor A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard pre- sented valuable paper on 'Institu tional History of the Later Middle Ages" A general discussion followed, which was participated in by the fol- lowing historical scholars: Professors c. Haskins. Dr. c. w. Brown then gave the treasurer's report. Professor c. M. Andrews of Bryn Mawr read a scholarly paper on American Colonial History from 1690-1750." The afternoon session was held in lec- ture room c, East Divinity hall, where Church History was discussed, and in Marquand chapel, where the report of the committee of seven on the study of | history in schools was given before a large audience. The report of the com- l mittee was exhaustive, dealing with the | subject in all it's details. The paper emphasized the educational value bf history and it's place in the curriculum 1 of public schools. The methods of | teaching the subject had particular at- l tention. also the special training of 1 teachers for this branch of study. A decidedly new stand was taken in re- gard to the purpose and aim of the high school, the old idea being that the schools should prepare for college. The 1 committees report held a more com 1 prehensive view-the preparation should not be for cellege merely, sbut l for life.
