USE OF METHOD
Gupt. Mills Discusses Its Value and
So Ets Dancer. '' n.

y Its Danger. -.
At this afternoons session of the de-
partment of elementary education, one
of the principal addresses was given by
W. A. Mills. superintendent OF schooIs
in Charlottesville, Ind, upon The Use
and Danger of Method Professor Mills
said in part: .E,,..s e..<,s.L,
The teacher must understand the prinei-
pies of education, not as something out OF
which she may deducecrules of teaching, put
as a criterion by which she may test the
worth Of what she is doing. Teaching is not
applied pedagogy. = 1t is born Of the teach
er's own instinct and inventiveness. How
ever it must not transgress the, general prln-
ciples else it win be futile. Educational
method Is to the teacher what chart and
compass are to the sailor. Art has to do with
particular situations. The particular child
and the particular teacher with her resources
and limitations are always primary elements
to be reckoned with. The actual problem OF
$he teacher is to move the child from Where
he is found to where he lis wanted. In the
movement the teacher must enjoy entire I'D
erty in the employment of ways and means,
tnstrumentalities and devices, keeping all the
time within the limits fixed by the pr1ncl-
pies Of education. L
The discussion upon Professor Mills
paper was led by J. C. sWooten, +superln-
tendent of schools in Paris, Texas.

as related to character building. NJ II:

the subject, "How Far Does the Modern
High School Fill the Nature and Needs
of Adolescents 90 Mr.. Hal1ock urged the
Importance of the ideal, and dwelt upon
the necessity of making school life
correspond to the outside world With It's
rivalries and rewards. In many high
schools, he said, athletics alone repro
duced the conditions of outside life
The practical subjects should not be given
too much attention. Even the woodchop-
per does not think a grindstone useless
because it will not cut down tree.
Since individual tastes and needs dtf-
.fered so widely, it seemed best to give
the adolescent more choice of studies.

Chancellor Craig Addresses Depart
nlent of Higher Education.
i William Bayard Craig, chancellor OF
Drake university, Des Moines, Iowa, was
the principal speaker at this afternoons
session OF the department of higher edu-
cation. His topic was "Educatfon in the
Appreciation of Art He said in part:
Science, religion and art: are essential to
"a complete civilization. In our young and
vigorous, country we are stron G lin science,
respectable in religion and weaklings mart.
We have been too busy with the utilitarian
and material development Of our continent
to have time for art Ask an average Amerl-
can citizen about matters Of trade or gov
%srnment and he will give an intelligent and
self reliant answer; ask him for an opinion
concerning a work of art and he will prob
ably answer with a conventional phrase and
pass ON, feeling that he has said something
fiat, ridiculous, or both. He has no knowl-
edge of fundamental principles by which to
Judge an art production, and for this great
lack the schools and colleges must be held
to account. 7-' - .,...
In our materialistic civilization we need
the inclination and ability to understand
and appreciate the language Of art by which
the interpreters of the realm Of emotion and
beauty would impart their light and love
to the world.

science instruction., by Frank M. *Gilley,
of the high school of Chelsea, Mass. Mr.,
Gilley said In part .
In teaching physics, it is best not to sep
arate definitely, in the allotment OF time, the
laboratory, recitation and lecture methods Of
is more forcible If all three methods are
combined Too little attention has been given
of late to devising new and effective lecture
experiments. 10y
7 Large classes can be taught In the 1abora-
tory with economy If low -salaried assistants
are employed. Laboratory classes are often
best taught as a whole, each step being I'M
ished by every member of the class before
a new one is begun In most cases the lab
oratory work should precede the lecture.
The "Value .@of Photography IN the
High Schools" was considered by ]. A..
Merrill teacher of science in the state
normal school of Superior, Wis. He said
in part: ~ q.
In no subject is the tendency to- cover much
ground and deal with theoretical or even
scientific speculation stronger than in phys1-
ography; but this not only detracts from the
value of the course, but Is a waste OF tnat
most precious time for which. SO many prac-
tical subjects are clamoring, Ehe course
must therefore, deal with practical things
and In way that will introduce the student
to the elementary technology OF the great
subject and enable him to apply the funda-
mental principles to the affairs Of every
day life. The subject matter Of such a course
as I have described is necessarily limited IN

A MAN is generally thought more
of who helps to build up the COM
munity in which he lives, than the
man who is always trying to make
others think that everybody but
himself is dishonest. The man who
contributes his mite toward his par
tvs success, stands better in a COM
munity that one who tries to cause
defeat. The Delaware Republicans
have been trying to reclaim the
State for years from the Democrats.
They have nearly succeeded, and
1t is only by suicidal policy that
the State will be handed over again
to the men who ruled it with an iron
hand and passed laws that disfran-
chised hundreds of Republicans.
Men have been arrested for at
tempting to vote and put i'll jail III
this city to intim1date them and 9TH
er Republic ans. These Republicans
will not be made party to hand
the State over to the Democrats at
the coming election. The people
want two U. S. Senators and they
don't care who they are, so they are
Republicans.
The TRADE that has been made on
certain gentlemen residing III Della
ware from Republican sources has
not helped the growth of this city
OF State. One of the editors OF the
Chester News in speaking of the
Senatorial middle in Delaware sad
the only way was to allow the I'M
ionists and Regulars to each name q
man. No matter who these men
were, the Republican members Of
the Legislature should vote for them
for Senators.
Some men are born fools and can
not see beyond their noses, and some
never succeed in what they under
take and are simply soreheads. We
have quite crop Of these in Viii
mington and they say they are Re
publicans. Fifteen years ago II we
remember right, the Republican
party in New Castle county was dis
organized and had no ticket at the
election for county officers. When
Allen was elected sheriff there were
only the Democrat and Temperance
tickets to be voted. Now that the
Republicans arein control, shall the
Democrats send two U. $. Senators
to Washington to represent Della
ware.
