himself one of the most able and entertain
ing speakers of the convention. His address
was a plea for the fuller development of the
child. He made the criticism that hitherto
the tendency had been to pay too much at
tention to intellectual progress, neglecting
what was quite as irnportant-the elements
of the physical, social and moral nature.
DR.. Snyder emphasized the fact that the
child should not be taught the lessons of
life by cold, inanimate facts, but through the
living world of nature surrounding him.

cussion were those relating to the improve

Nebraska Teachers
In Annual Session

Those who measure the value of an asso-
citation by the number of persons who at
tend it may not do justice to the meeting
OF the Nebraska State Teachers
association just past, for the
enrolment is somewhat less than
il has been in several years. What may
have been the cause of the slight decrease
it is difficult to judge, but it certainly was
not the lack of an attractive program. The
presidents address and the evening lectures
by Prof. Thwing, president of the Wes-
leyan Reserve university, and Murat Hal
stead, were all that had been anticipated.

high school attendance law. For some time
there has been a growing dissatisfaction at
the manner of conducting county institutes.
Instead of being a school of methods to bet
ter equip the teacher for his work the
tendency has been to make them a place
for teachers to review the more common
branches preparatory to taking the yearly
examination. 1t is felt that the institute is
not the place for academic work, but should
rather be provided with a corps of instruc-
tors qualified to teach better methods OF
school management, better methods of in
struction, music, art and the study of man
and nature, SO that when the session is
over the teacher will be better prepared to
meet the duties of the school room, rather
than having but a few paltry facts, to be
forgotten as soon as the examination is past.
Free High SchOOi Law.
Much interest was shown in the discus
sion of the free high school attendance law
adopted by the last Legislature, This has
been declared unconstitutional by one dis
trict judge, though it is in force in the
other parts of the state. 1t is recognized
by most teachers as one of the most bene-
fetal enacted and a resolution was adopted
recommending that the State Teachers as
ISOLATION appropriate 800 to provide com
petent counsel to bring the matter before tn,
supreme court.
