PLANS OF THE CONFERENCE.
The plans and purposes Of the educa'

these the men interested In the great
movement say:
With the expansion of our population
and the growth of industry and ectl-s
nomic resources we recognize IN a fitting
and universal education and training for
the home, for tho farm and the work
shop and for the exercise of the duties
of citizenship, the only hope for the per-
petuity of orr institutions founded by
our forefathers, on the four c.rner-stones
of Intelligence, virtue, economic efficiency
and canacltv for political se1f-cnntral. ~
We recognize the value Of efforts hithI
<e-to made to solve our eil!cs ticnal pro-,
blems, both as respects the methods to
be used and also as regards the sheer
quantity Of the work to be done.

scented at the sessions OF this conference,
the imperative need Of renewed efforts
on larger scale: and we also find in the
improved financial outlook Of the, country

ion better hopes than ever before Of a
larger response to this great need
| AS the first great need of our people IS
adequate elementary instruction. and as
this instruction must come to children SO.
largely through mothers and women
teachers in their homes and primary.
