HOW TO TEACH.
Teachers Discuss the Methods of I'm
parting knowledge.

The general meeting of the Teachers
association was opened this morning in
Representative hall with vocal solo,
star OF My Heart, by Miss Upton.
Mrs. Florence Horton of Wichita, fol-
lowed with q ten-minute paper on
Training in Oral and Written Express
sion" in primary grades. She said
Language is a social function used
for showing knowledge. The child is
most easily taught whole sentences, it is
more difficult to teach single words and
syllables and for that reason children
should be engaged in conversation as
much as possible.
1T is a more difficult feat to teach a
child the language than to teach him
to walk. There are only 500 muscles in
his make up and it is a much more
peFilous feat. A PERSONS vocabulary
should include nearly 5000 words where
the average persons vocabulary only
includes about 300 words The avera ge
high school student has a better
vocabulary than the parents
Fl. r. Malloy of Hutchinson followed
with a paper on the training in the
grammar grades. He said.
If a cure for all the evils of a gram
mar school is sought a sovereign remedy
is found in a good teacher.
THE cooperation of parents must be
secured or that which is desired may
never be accomplished
Each child should be taught a thing
until he has it thoroughly mastered.
The teacher over a school should set
an example for good in language and
demeanor for the scholars unconsciously
pattern after the teacher.
The teacher should not ridicule or be
sarcastic. Correct errors in a way
which will not cause a sting"
Mr.. Malloy showed that the high
school education did not qualify the
the graduates to enter some lines of
work and asked What is wrong with
our methodist"
IF a pupil shows originality, encour-
age it. correct their errors, but do not
eliminate anything that shows orig
inalty. Examine papers carefully and
not perfunctorily. You are paid to work
and you should work. If you don't like
the work, get out of it..
Miss Grace NJ. Easter of Arkansas
City said:
Facility in words and expression is
needed in school work. The greatest
benefit of a boy or girl in school work
is the benefit of the power of thought
and the ability to express the thoughts
in q. cogent manner.
Pupils continually illustrate their
need Of words They are using only
few hundred words where they should
use several thousand
THE topic method in school work is
the best, for when a topic is introduced
the scholar is instantly on the alert and
is ready to answer on the spur of the
moment.
Interest and enthusiasm is aroused

TOO MUCH COMMERCIALISM
Is Charged Against the Colleges OF
the South.

Richmond, Va, Dec 2S.-The second
days session of@the tenth annual con-
vertion Of the Southern Educational as
ISOLATION was opened this morning D. q
strong address by w T. Harris, OF
Washington, national commissioner Of
education on the relation of universities
colleges to public schools.
Prof. T. &. Branson OF the Georgia
State Normal college discussed the fea-
lures of the address.
Prof. e. c. Woodward of South Caro-
lima college spoke as follows:
Systematic organization OF educa-
tional work is a prime necessity The
realization of this in the south is slow,
mainly due to the indifference of the
various branches of the would-be sys-
tenn to needed correlation and to the lack
of acknowledged leadership.
There is little connection among the
schools from lowest to highest. The
secondary schools are independent petty
republics of letters with no Acknowledge
ed obligations to any common standards
and no accepted direction of any COM
mon head. The colleges are almost hos
tile rivals. All are apparently melted by
the commercial spirit to take the field
for palpable results, to surpass in num-
bers, equipment, notoriety. There is too
little emulation in good works, too much
striving for material results; too little
co-r1Valry in scholarship and culture, too
much industrial antagonism and too
much seeking after palpable gains, to
the neglect of the unseen eternal things
Thus temptation, little resisted, to &C
commodate standards to popular fancy
Each school and college tries to be self
sufficient. All are in the graduating
diplomas giving business
The resulting false estimates and
ideals encourage a pretension, superfici-
atty, charlatanism. There is disofgani-
cation instead of organization. There is
prevalent Indifference to liberal studies
a sort of modern scorn of culture thai
scouts it's regimen The Industrial
awakening is a dangerous prosperity
that nenaces reveFed traditions threat
ems established institutions, and ignores
the highest aspirations

Rev. II. D. Fisher Talks of Early

Rev. H. D. Fisher of Topeka spoke of
the early history of the teachers as
said:

THE founders of that association did
well, in fact better than they thought
when 1 came TO Kansas we had no
schools and my only consolation was the
fact that brought a school teacher
with me in my wife. I knew that if she
could teach other children she could
teach ours. The idea of what may We

ADJOURNED TO ANN ARBOR.
Historical and Economical Societies
Go There From Detroit

Ann Arbor, Dec. 2S.-President Angel,
of the University of Michigan, extended
a warm welcome to the economists and
historians who came here today to hold
joint sessions of the American Historical
association and the American Economic
association The two associations came
to Ann Arbor from Detroit by special
train. The meeting was held in Sarah
Caswen Angel hall of the University
of Michigan, and was attended by a
large gathering. Prof. Paul S. Reinsch,
of the University of Wisconsin, was I'M
able to be present, but his paper on
1.-The French Experiments with Political
Assimilations in the West Indies" was
read by his colleague, Prof. Charles
Haslzins. of the same university.
Prof. II. NJ. Stephens, Of Cornell, gave
a brief talk on the Turning Points in
the History of British Administration
in India,'' which he said was simply a
synopsis of his forthcoming work on the
subject. Dr. J. H Hollander, treasurer
of Porto Rico, was on the programme
for a talk on the finances Of the island,
but could not be present Prof. john
Finley, of Princeton, discussed the
Porto Rican policy. He argued against
the complete independence of the ISL
and or it's admission as a state. He
spoke from personal observation on the
island AT / o'clock the associations
took a recess for lunch.
In the afternoon Prof. Edmund M.
James, of the University of Chicago.

UNIVERSITIES to Commercial Education
A paper by Prof. L. NJ. Keas, on THE
study of Economic Geography" Was
read, also a paper by Prof Charles w.
Haskins of New York.
Prof Haskins' paper on 1.-THE Place of
the Science of Accounts in Collegiate
Commercial Education" was in part as
follows:
Great Britain" he said, has re-
spectacle professional accOuntancy but
no general commercial educa On. The
continent has an advanced education in
commerce. but only a beauroeratic
bookkeeping instead of a worthy ac-
sional scientific accountancy. along with
a profession of economic administration;
in the United States therefore account
ancy and administration must be
coordinated in college and university
commercial teaching. The higher or
scientific accountancy, distinguished
from the routine writing up OF accounts,
includes auditing, examination OF bust
ness methods. diagnosis of unhealthful
procedure, origiEation and adaptation of
safe and economical systems of accounts
for individuals, firms, corporations,
municipalities and governments. Ac-
countancy is the guage of Codes It's
findings are mathematical demonstra-
tions and its representations as I'M
erring as fate. 1t may thus be seen that
the place of the science of accounts in
a systemm of economic education IS less
a matter of position in the curriculum
than of due appreciation of the dignity
conferred upon any place assigned to
so vital a science

The rumOr cabled from New York
that Ignace Paderewski had been killed

mention was made of the great pianist

says distinctly that he was better, re-
ferring possibly to the cold from which
he had been suffering.
