CHILD STUDY.
The Department Listens to Some
Interesting Papecs.

The Department of Child Study con-
vened in the Assembly Chamber short
ly after 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, President C. c. Van Lew of
Chico occupying the chair. Superfn-
tendent Minnie Coulter of Sonoma act
ed as Secretary.
The first number presented was a
very able paper on Constructive Work
Based on Child Study by E. n. Hem
derson of Chico.
He said the child no sooner gets con-
troll of its arms and hands, with power
to sit erect, than the interest in con-
struction makes its appearance and not
only does it come forth. but it creates
so serious a demand that the stock
playthings for children of this age are
the building blocks or cards by which
they can bring into existence number
less odd structures that quickly fall.

struction satisfy the dominant cray-

Kaleidoscope. But the instinct in con-
struction does not long remain in this
jack-in-the -box phase. The initiative
instinct takes possession of the field
and the blocks become trains of cars
or houses. dolls appear; mud pies are
made and the child manifests his in
genuity in constructing toys, usually

This interest holds till the age of G

encourage spontaneity or may repress
it. encouragement is the key to their
natures. The proper training should
begin in the lower grades, that it may
develop into habit, otherwise it is found
that in the higher grades there is much
to undo. She illustrated her methods
of drawing out the children by her
treatment of the story of the three
bears, and showed how the child S

manifested themselves. She gave
them opportunity for absolutely

Mr. Meyer gave an account of his
methods of teaching and the results
he obtained from them.
D. r. Augsburg, Supervisor of Draw

exposition on the blackboard of his
methods, saying that he had
been for the past two years
making a study Of what chill

He found exercises in circular draw

They love them because they are large
and free and yet so that they work
nicely at them as an exercise merely.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY.
An Interesting Paper by Miss Jen-
ME e. Weir Of Nevada.

The Department of the California
Association of Teachers of History met
in the Senate Chamber yesterday morn
ing for the purpose of discussing the
subject of THE Study of History In
Schools" and the report to the Ameri-
can Historical Association by the com
mittee- of seven. President Richard u
Faulkner occupied the chair, with Mrs
Rose V. Winterburn as Secretary.
Prior to the general discussion OF the
subject matter chosen, Miss Jennie
E,lizabeth Weir of the University OF
Nevada read a paper on the SUBJECT
of CONTINUITY of Historical Study ana
the Relation of History to Other SUP
jects." In opening the speaker said;
II have taken in hand said Slf

not to review the subject in its entirety
but merely in it's phases"
After alluding to her experience WITH
history during her student life, the
speaker urged the Importance of con-
tinuity in the study of history, ano
claimed that English history is taugn'
too late in the course to correlate WIFI
the study of English literature. This

subsequently President Wheeler
stated that he did not refer to the re-
ports in the Record Union" but to
those of a San Francisco morning
daily.)
II love California, and realize fully
that it is only in it's infancy in the
splendor of it's possible attachments
and the development of its natural re-
sources. 1t has set up a model for .

1.-The demands made on the university
at Berkeley, in spite of our splendid
resources, can hardly be met. AT the
present time Berkeley contains 1,90C
students, with new ones applying every
day, and taking the affiliated colleges
in their entirety increases the roll tt

growth that many pupils are Obliged to

The Reception Committee was COM
posed of H. Weinstock, DR.. w. A.
Briggs, DR.. G. L. Simmons and J. A.
Woodson. The Executive Committee
was also assisted by thirty-fve teach
ers Of the local schools.
On his arrival President Wheeler was
met at the entrance by the Reception
Committee, who escorted him to the
rostrum, where Mr.. Wefnstock intro
duced him to the assemblage by say
ing:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Numerous
young friends of mine who are attend
ing the California University have re-
peatedly informed me that their new
President had completely won the
love and full admiration of every in
dividual student in the institution,
from the members of the Freshman
class to those who had attained the
senior grade, and rarely do we encoun-
ter such a universal feeling in any Of
our institutions of learning. An ac-
quaintance with the man, however. ex-
plains the mystery. His manly bear
ing, his kindly greeting, his ready
sympathy all combine to challenge
the love and admiration of those with
whom he comes in contact.
II therefore take great pleasure in
introducing to my fellow-residents of
the city of Sacramento President Ben
Jamin Ide Wheeler of the University of
California
In response, President Wheeler said:
Friends Of the City Of Sacramento:
It affords me great pleasure to be here
and meet with you this evening. This
expression Of your broad cordiality is
what 1 have encountered in every por-
ton of this State that I have visited,
and although 1 have resided here but
three months I feel thoroughly at home,
not only in the State but also in Sac
ramento.
Since I have been in your city I
have met little else than teachers and
School Superintendents. Is that all
you have in your city? 1t certainly
seems so. and in fact the city itself
seems to be formulated on a broad
system Of education. as even the streets
are designated by figures and num-
bers.
Everything I have encountered in
your city has been full of interest. Your
fogs are interesting, and likewise home
like-they are exact representations OF
London fogs. I am rapidly getting to
be Californian, and am even using
California expressions. 1 use the word
proposition I say, I came up against
a proposition I can even talk climate.
Every one I meet asks me. How do
you like the climate?' 1 have en-
countered forty different kinds of eli
mate since my brief residence in this
State, and 1 like them ALL I am also
becoming accustomed to house with
out fire in it, and am really beginning
to enjoy it. When I first entered my
house searched every portion of it,
even to the cellar, to find refrigerator,
