schools may be in all other respects,
they necessarily fail in their highest
objects. Give us as teachers, live,
earnest, enthusiastic men and women
with high ideals, who love their
work, who believe in it as one of the
greatest professions, then our schools
will continue in the future as they
have been in the past-one of the
greatest influences for good in our
country.
Our common schools in the great
cities bring the rich and poor togeth-
er. Here the boys and the girls, what
ever their home life, are all on a COM
mon level. The public school sys-
tenn has shown itself so flexible and
pliable, even with it's many uniform
requirements, that it has worked
smoothly and successfully in the Bo-
hemian, Polish, Italian, German and
Scandinavian sections of our city, as
well as in those portions where native
born alone attend the schools. Our
public schools have been the greatest
agency in making American citizens,
and making them rapidly from foreign
born children and the children Of for
eignborn parents.
Go into any section Of the city
where most of the children are of any
Of these various nationalities and you
can hear them sing "My Country,
'Tis of Thee'' with the same spirit
that we sang it in school in our
young days. They take deep inter
est and are very enthusiastic in the
stories of Washington, Lincoln and
Mckinley. They are rapidly becom-
ing American.
If it were not for the transforma-
tion accomplished by them with these
children of foreign-born people,
should almost despair as to the future
success of popular government in
great cit les.
These lasting and beneficent results
have been brought about, in spite of
the defects in our present school sys-
tenn, very largely through the earnest
and unselfish work of our teachers.
These weak spots have been pointed
out, not in spirit of hostility, but
with confident belief that fair dis
cussion of them would tend to
strengthen the schools. The reforms
necessary to do away with such defects
can be brought about by the united
and determined efforts of the members
of this association. To do this you
should direct your energies at given
time to one fault or defect-and that
fault the one which the majority
agree is the most serious. Then our
schools, more successfully than ever
before will give to the children sin
the best manner, and at the least cost,
either Of the public revenue or of the
| time and energy of the pupils, the

ing, but for the care and condition of

1t is probably not politics, but it
seems very bad management to lay
off a number of teachers some little
time after they have been employed
for the coming year on the ground |
that change in the system Of teach
this has been done several times in
the past few years. Then, too, a
continual discussion of the cutting of |
wages of the teachers must necessar-
lily be detrimental to the school. The
best results can only be obtained
when the teachers feel that they have
stability Of employment and def
mite salary. AS the merit system
becomes more firmly established in
practice and more heartily supported
by all the people the evil of partisan
politics will practically disappear.
Individual Effort.
1t is absolutely necessary to arouse
the curiosity of the pupil-to
keep him interested-in order to
obtain the best results in the
school room. Individual work by the
teacher with the pupil is the best way
Of insuring this interest. In our
crowded school rooms, with from 80 to
60 pupils in room, and sometimes even
Il greater number, it is very difficult,
if not impossible for the teacher to
give individual attention to each
scholar. One Of the dangers ever to
be avoided by teachers with large
classes is the temptation to teach the
pupils in body and not as individu-
ais. How easy it is for teacher to
do this when all the scholars in the
room are divided into one or two large
classes! The pupil may not be called
upon in a given study more than once
or twice week, and then if the
teacher is not fully awake to the i'm
portance of the work stereotyped
questions may be asked term after
term which would be satisfied by
formal answers and high marks given
therefor. This mehod of teaching
necessarily results in placing too
high estimate on the value Of instruc-
tion and in under estimating the value
of self-activity on the part of the
scholar. The most successful teacher
is the one who stirs up his pupil to
do the work himself, thereby causing
mental activity and growth. Our COM
mon schools should not be carried on
for the purpose of making our boys
and girls encyclopedias of learn
ing but rather to so train them that
they can think and act for themselves.
The difficulty of giving individual
attention to individual scholars is per-
haps more the fault of the system of
carrying on the schools in our large

you could find in any community in
dividuals who were fitted to do any
work or fill any position-that Amer
lean civilization was especially adapt
ed to develop an infinite variety of
character. We all know that if we
take two children of marked charac-
teristics and strong individuality-one
with mathematical turn and the
other dreamer long we
may teach them the same things in
the same way to the last their istinct
individualities will be plainly marked.
"You may grind them both in the
same self mill,
You may bind them heart and brow,
But one will follow the rainbow
And his brother will follow the
plow."
The School and the Home.
Our public schools have not been
established to make our children great
scholars, but their highest end and
aim ought to be to cooperate with the
home, and with the religious and
social environments, in forming and
molding character, so that the great
body of our citizenship may be honest,
