m. yesterday.
The first paper was 1.-THE Beginnings
of Moral Training" In the absence of
the author, Professor Hadley was cho-
sen to read the paper. Time and space
will not permit an outline Of the excel
lent paper. Professor Hadley, President
Hewett, Professor Hodgin and Profess
sor Mcclellan discussed the subject and
brought out many good points.
The next paper, THE Kindergarten
was read by President c. M. Light. This
paper showed careful preparation and
was listened to with interest. The topic
was ably discussed by Miss Hill.
Mrs. Weltmer then read a paper on
THE School and the Home" This
showed careful study and brought out
many interesting points. Professor A
B. Stroup followed with some good ideas
ON the subject.
The attendance during the afternoon
session was about 100, a much better at
tendance than usual for a day session.
The exercises and reception last even
ing constituted a noteworthy event. In
the dining room Of the Palace hotel,
which was prettily decorated with ever
green's, a large audience assembled.
Hon. George H. Wallace, secretary OF
the territory, made an eloquent address
of welcome. His words of welcome were
hearty and he gave excellent reasons
why Santa Fe should be the permanent
meeting place Of the association. He
dwelt on the progress that had been
ritory despite drawbacks which seemed
insurmountable, and declared that New
Mexico need not be ashamed of it's ed
ucational facilities, which compare ia
wealths.
Professor C. f. Hodgin, principal OF
the Normal University at Las Vegas
responded feelingly. He reviewed the
history Of the educational association
which thirteen years ago was founded
in Santa Fe mainly through the efforts
Of Santa Fe residents at that time. He
Is the only original member Of the as
ISOLATION still In the territory. This Is
the third time that the association met
in hospitable Santa Fee. He paid a trib-
ute to the advantages and beauties OF
Santa Fe, and concluded with heartily
thanking the people of the city for their
hospitality. Professor c. L.. Herrick, in
the absence of President Jordan, of the
association, made the annual address.
Describing a learned ~peroration which
he had prepared, he took his hearers
upon a journey into the fields and woods
and described very entertainingly
phases of plant and animal life which
are known only to close observers and
students, and drew lessons therefrom
for the teacher and the pupil. He re-
ferred to the work being done by the
university of Albuquerque in a scientific
way to demonstrate hat the atmos-
phere of New Mexico contains but few
of the noxious bacteria found in the at
mosphere of low and moist levels, and
the studies being made at the universe
ty laboratory of means to destroy the
power of even those few noXious bacte-
ria found in this section. The address
was very interesting, and like the pre-
ceding speakers, Professor Herrick was
loudly %applauded.
The audience then went to the parlors
of the Palace hotel to assist the Wom-
ans Board of Trade in rendering a re-
ception to the visiting teachers. The re-
ception committee consisted Of Secre-
and Mrs. Prince, Mrs. F. p. Crichton,
Mrs. RivenNburg and Solicitor General
and Mrs. Prince and Solicitor General
E. L. Bartlett. The teachers and others
were In turn introduced to the COM
mlttee, and an hour or two We're spent
very enjoyably in a social manner
ton. One Of the surprises Of the affair
was the delightful music rendered by
an orchestra Of local musicians recently
organized.
The association was called to order

the absence of the secretary, Miss Por-
ter was chosen pro tenn.
