papers regarding the method of teaching
Mr.. Wines spoke of visit he made Il
the school of Felix Adler in New York
and how the method of hand training ant
nature study appealed to him. Remarkinf
20 Mr.. Adler that something like that was
needed in the public schools. the latter
told him that it was impossible of attain
ment. You have not the teachers" said
Mr.. Adler "ard you will not have time
to make them"
Passing from this Mr.. Wines showed
that the method might be good, and that
it was yet to be brought to success, wher
the right teachers could be procured. He
thought the schools of the District had
held up high standard and in closing Mr.
Wines said:
Il 90 feel that it would be wrong fol-
me to stand here and not say that 1 think
Mr.. Powell, the Superintendent of Schools
has been most unkindly and unjustlJ
treated"

The committee has carefully consid-
cred the essays on American history sub
mitted in the contest for medal offered
by the Mary Washington Chapter, Ma lional
Society, Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. 1t has been greatly impressed with
the surprising merit of the papers, their
construction, fidelity. and breadth. AS far
as data is within reach of students the
writers of these essays have used ii ably.
We venture to predict that when such
students become investigators, delving
among the sources Of history, then there
will be shed a new and stronger light
upon American records.
I'VE congratulate the teachers upon the
success of their labors. We congratulate
the graduates of the Washington High
School that they have been SO carefully
trained to think, thus being empowered
to select, to compare. and adjust the piv-
otal events that mark the footsteps Of
American independence.

pers, From Protest to Defiance by
Priance; The Part OF France in the
American Independence Yorktown:

pensable Man of the American Revulu-

four medals to bestow and in making hon
orable mention of these three, We must
warn the medalist that the contest was
very close. and We earnestly urge these
four young writer's to continue their work
