dations were finally adopted, after a
spirited discussion and several inef-
! fectuaI efforts were made to modify the
personnel of the plan proposed.
HOME TALENT FAVORED.
Mr.. Whitney opened the debate by
announcing his opposition to the i'm
portation OF a drawing teacher when
| home talent of the highest excellence
| is available. He favored the substitu-
/ ton of John Hafen, now employed in
! the Ogden schools, for Mrs. Elliott, and
made q motion to that effect.
Mr. Newman concurred with Mr..
Whitney.
only in part did Mr.. Giauque agree
| with the two members mentioned. He
| moved to substitute the name OF Mr..
| Hafen for Mr.. HARDWOOD, and Mr.. Har-
woods Cor Mrs. Elliott. The amend
ment was accepted.
DIR. MILLSPAUGH'S EXPOSITION.
In RESPONSE to a request from Mr..
Wilson Tor his views. Superintendent
! MillsDaugh stated that teaching draw
! ing in the schools and teaching art TO
art pupils were two separate and Nsde-
| " distinct matters The superintendent
| demonstrated that a drawing teacher
should have thorough knowledge or
geography, mathematics, history, lit
erature and kindred subjects, in order
TO WITTY the study of such branches.
a person might be a fine artist, but on
account of his lack of pedagogical
knowledge and want of experience as
| a teacher in drawing, his work would
/ be a failure.
