Courses Of Study a Topic Considered
by the Educators.
ADDRESSES BY LEABBINGs TEACHERS
The Views of Miss Marion Brown
of New Orleans.
P PROBLEM IN THE nth

Normal school teachers and university
professors largely composed the gathering
at the session of the department of normal
schools held In All Souls Church. The
topic considered at the present meeting is
the formulation of a course OF study setting
forth the minimum requirements for grad
uation from the state normal schools of the
United States and representative men and
women of all sections are present to con-
tribute to the important subject. The nor
NAL schools of the various sections of the
country were described in series of ad-
dresses as follows:

the normal school has been a growth, the

cities undertaking the training of teachers
before the state. The first public normal

.tendant evils delayed the establishment of
state normal schools BY, 1850 the south
had again become prosperous; the opening
of new Industries and the often enforced
lack of education experienced during the
preceding twenty years had made strong
advocates for public schools. Unpleasant
experiences with imported teachers, the
need of the young people of the south for
employment, the assistance given by the
Peabody fund to normal classes in towns,
the enthusiastic and cultivated teachers
sent out into every state by the Peabody
Normal College at Nashville-aIl foStered
which the states were now able to provide
financially. Except Arkansas which has
a system of one month county normals,
every southern state has now at least one
state normal for white students; have
or will establish the same for
colored students with industrial features
added These state normals In an agri-
cultural section containing few large cities.
Requirements Favored.
From answers received to inquiries, nor
NAL school principals and superintendent
favor entrance requirements based a
high school course it's equivalent, but
about half Of these do not yet consider 1t
possible under present conditions; hence,
while not regarding academic work as
function OF the normal school, nearly all
advocate an academic course correspond
good high school, and in some instances
to college course.
The state normal school problem In the
south has two phases: For colored stu
dents, an elementary normal school, with
industrial training, a distinctively south
ern problem; for white students a state
normal school, working under conditions
and on lines similar to most normal
schools.
How will the solution of the question be-
fore us-'The formulation of course of
study setting forth the minimum require
ments for graduation from the state nor
NAL Of the United States" affect the
southern normal schools?
In each section there Is one large city
that dominates a considerable area not
always bounded by state lines. Situated
far from the great centers of our coun-
try their teachers can meet professional
brethren only In gatherings like the Ma
uonal Educational Association; the stamp
of national approval means much to them.
Therefore, with definite line of minimum
work marked out, normal faculties can
present to their constituencies a mark be-
low which none must fall. beyond which
each VIII strive to pass, common stand
ard which all normal schools will recog-
mZe-the first step toward a-really national
and homogeneous system of education

AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES
Their Relation to the National Life
Discussed.

Discussed.
The session at the Grand Opera House
last night was devoted entirely to an adj
dress on American universities and their
relation to the national life. by Dr. Andrew
s. Draper, president Of the University of
Illinois. DR.. Draper; it will be remembered.
was recently rendered and declined the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the public schools of
Greater New York. - -,
Previous to the address, solo was sung
by Miss Wilson of this lcitys and several
selections rendered by the Chicago Pr.nci-
pals Male Quartet, WIZ. Black, W, e.
Watt, d. l.. Buzzell andre. II. Dixon, all
principals of grammar schoolgirl Chicago.
President Draper, In his address, which was
lengthy, pointed out how the earlier Amer1-
can colleges were protested ton the lines
already laid down abroad, and to further
the distinctive purposes of the colonies
Thus, Harvard was founded to promote
the ideals Of the Puritan theocratic state
and the Puritan governmental church of
New England, while William and Mary
was the college of the cavalier. and having
royal charter and endowment, sympa-
thized with and taught the ideas Of the
kings party in English politics. The Con-
gregational Church and Connecticut set up
Yale, and New Jersey and the Presbyter-
ianS founded Princeton, while Columbia In
New York, which was originally King
College, was founded avowedly to prevent
the spread of republican ideas. Govern
mental support, private benevOlence and
ecclesiastical control were back of all of
them.
President Draper then described the In
creasing interest being taken by the states
In the higher education of its citizens.
and declared that state universities were
the great hope of the future.
Nominating Committee.
The nominating committee was am
nounced at the conclusion of President
Draper's address. 1t is as follows:

they were all there of one accord to con-
slider for brief period one of the elements
of happiness-one of the elements of true
education. 1t has been well said that the
base of all artistic genius is the power of
conceiving humanity in a new, striking,
rejoicing way of putting happy world OF
it's own creation in the place of a meaner
world of common days, so that when an
artist represents his personal vision OF
nature he reflects into the representation
something of his own soul and something
of the soul of his country. Hence we have
what may be called personality and ma
uonafty in art.
Nationality in Art.
Gathered here. as We are today, in all
art center and the great capital of a great
nation it seems fitting that we consider
the subject Nationality In Art" Perhaps
we are too apt 10 consider New York as
our great art center, and to forget that
Washingtonians are considered more artis-
tic than New Workers. Be that as 1t may,
we congratulate ourselves on being here
in this atmosphere, and turn naturally to
the elements of national distinction in the
art world of which we are at least, frac-
ton. Nationality in art is plainly visible in
the famous art galleries of Europe The
French are distinguished for their tech
ntque, the Germans for their composition
and color, the English for the literary ele-
ment while nowhere is nationality in art
exhibited more strongly than in a Spanish
gallery, which, in some respects is like an
eighteenth century chamber of horrors
However, the highest art is not national,
but universal. 1T isl says Voltaire, the
representation of these permanent general
principles Of expression which character
ICES the works of the great Italian masters
and which is found in such perfection In
Gerclan art 1t is this great leading prin-
ciple Of universally upon which all works
OF genius are considered"
An Important Question
Which, then, is American art, national or
universal?
The United States has been called the
canium catharum of all nations diverse
peoples Should it not then possess untver-
salty in Its art? America breathas through
her pictures fresh atmosphere of happiness
America is decidedly optimistic. and this
whatever the subject. Great art organiza-
lions have been founded and carried on by
artists of power and genius. The work ac-
complished by them has been great and
far-reachfng, until 1t has permeated society
and even percolated the somewhat unyiald-
ing soil of the public school system. There
are many art educational societies all over
this land which should work with more
concentrated effort, and they would so
work II a plan ware formed whereby they
might be represented in our national asso-
citation. Therefore inasmuch as a need of
such cooperation IS felt on the part of this
department, now wish to appoint COM
mittee to consider the question and report

would suggest that such committee recon-
mend that each existing art organization
In connection with the public school system

point at its next annual meeting two per
sons to act in conjunction with the presi-
dent of this department in the forma ton of
its program and as an advisory board, to be
consulted upon all points of interest to the
department.
Miss Magee's address was cordially re-
ceiyed.
The Supervisor of Drawing
The first paper was read by F. H. Daniels,
supervisor of drawing, Buffalo, N Y, who
began by declaring that the supervisor
must be teacher. AS a rule, it is his bust
ness to teach when visiting a class room.
The successful teacher knows that the
child is alive and demands a part of the
program, and that a lifeless manner will
produce a lifeless class. The dra awning
teacher must have had the best training in
drawing. Up TO a recent date the history
of drawing is a record of failure because
nc courses have recognized the child
These courses formed apparently logical
outlines and, drawing books New methods
have been fercely contested, then adopted
and overworked. Is not this true today of
pose drawing? Supervisors must go into
the school room and teach children. watch

The report of committee on the relation
of the library to art education, consisting
of w. M. r. French, director Art Insti-
tute of Chicago, chairman; Miss Emily H.
Miles, district director of drawing, Dem
yer, Col, and Miss Ruth j. Warner, Brook
Iyn N V was read by Miss Miles.
1t found that under the term art education
are included both instruction in the prac-
tice of drawing, painting, sculpture, etc.,
and the higher culture of the artist. Art
education may conveniently be regarded
under the three aspects of practice, theory
and history, OF which the first is predom-
inant Practice may go far without many
books; theory and history must depend
much upon them.
The library is manifestly essential to the
study Of architecture and decorative de-
sign, as the reservoir of the material Of
these arts.
In the study of drawing and painting,
such specialties as artistic anatomy, per-
spective, composition, the construction of
the human figure, ETC., depend much upon
books.
Collections CT reproductions of works of
masters, both finished works and sketches,
are proper to library and are invalua BILE
in the study of pictorial composition-nor
can the history of art be proftably studied
without them.
The published discussions of masters of
painting anc ~cupture upon the practice
of their arts, theoretical treatises on color,
composition and aesthetics. histories and
biographies of artists. critical essays upon
works of art, even dictionaries and CLOS
saries, have their place in liberal art ed
ucation.
One of the most important elements in
an art library is the presence of an intelIi-
gent librarian.
The discussion of the function Of the IL
brary in relation to public school instrue-
ton in art was then INDUCED in, the re-
port of the committee being highly APP
