today, "and there is abundant time for
number of candidates to get into the
field L have not yet fully made up my
mind to be a candidate. and 1 may not
do so, but am considering it. A num-
Der of the teachers have talked to me
about being a candidate, and find con-

PROF. BAILEY SPEAKS.
Takes Place of DIR. Winship on the
Programme.

One of the favorites in attendance at
the association is Prof w A. Bailey,
mathematics at the State Normal but
is now engaged in educational work in
New York city. DIR. A. E. Winship, of
Boston, was scheduled to deliver a lee
ture at IL o'clock, but he had not ar
rived at that time. and Prof. Bailey
was called on to speak.
MY being called upon to speak in
DR.. Winship's absence reminds me of
an incident that happened once while
was conducting an institute in Nemaha
county" began Prof. Bailey. Il agreed
to give lecture one evening and a lit
tie girl where / was boarding insisted
her she would not be able to under
stand it, but she said, oh, well, will
have something to look att i can't give
you DR. WinShips lecture but can
furnish quite much to look at" and
Prof. Bailey drew up his ESQ or more
avoirdupois.
Prof. Bailey gave talk on mathe-
maticS. He said he never talked about
anything else. He criticised the modern
method of teaching a child to analyze
a problem by the formula If one aD-
pie costs three cents, two apples will
cost two times three cents or six cents
THE child should be allowed to rea-
son the problem out in his own way in
stead of being taught to follow a me
chanicai formula" said Prof. Bailey
After the child has learned the exam
pie in apples and the teacher gives him
the same problem in pumpkins he is apt
to say, i don't know, haven't had any
examples in pumpkins And if the
teacher says, If a dog on three legs
weighs rs pounds, how much will a dog
on four legs weigh the boy may an
swer, IF a dog on three legs weighs 75
pounds, a dog on one leg would weigh
one-third of rs pounds, which is 25
pounds. and a dog on four legs would
weigh four times rs pounds, which is
100 pounds"
Prof Bailey ratified the problem and
its analysis off in the manner and tone
of the school child. which is familiar
to everyone who has heard it.
"Or, 'he continued, "the teacher might
give this problem: If one boy gets
up at o'clock, at what time do two
boys get up?' and the boy following
the mechanical formula would say, If
one boy gets up at o'clock, two boys
would get up at two times o'clock, or
II o'clock .
SYMPATHIZE WITH COL PARKER.
After it was announced that Colonel
Parker is i'll and could not be present
at the sessions of the association John
Journal. offered a resolution, express
ing regret that Colonel Parker is not
able to come to Topeka, sympathy with
him in his illness, hope for his speedy
recovery and an appreciation the
part of the teachers of Kansas for the
work that Colonel Parker has accom-
plished in the cause of education. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.

mittee did not come to New York in
response to any invitation. SO far as

our most urgent efforts to that end.
We came to New York for the purpose
of holding a conference if possible, and
in doing so we are simply carrying out
the wishes expressed by majority of
those who attended the late conference
at Hazleton.''
