/ j MISS Clara A.. Wilson, superinten
OF drawing at Davenport, Iowa, and Miss
Hannah Johnson Carter direct or of the
School OF Elementary Art Instruction,
Chicago, each delivered short talks on the
exhibits Miss Wilson, in order to give
an IDEA OF the size of the exhibit, said
the work from cities outside of MINI eapo-
lis required three quarters of a mile of
wall space, while the Minneapolis exhibit
alone was larger than any shown at pre-
Vlous conventions. She advised that more
attention be paid to the mounting Of
work, and that renewed effort be made to
secure exhlD1ts from normal schools.
| Mrs Carter referred enthusiastically to
the basket work shown in the MINNEAPOLIS
exhibit and to the exhibit made by Min
neapol1s teachers which, she said, interes
ted her more than anything else she had
| seen. = NA
| Three topics were on the program for
discussion, the first being 'How can the
work OF the kindergarten primary and
craving 1:; supervisors best be harmonizeda"
MISS Sarah G. Brooks, who opened the
discussion on this topic, said the first note
OF harmony was sympathy.
Miss Florence E. Ellis of Grand Rapids,
Mich, thought the children should be en-
couraged in their play and taught to re-
gard their drawing lessons in the light
or play rather than work. Miss Emelia
NJ Goldsworthy of Indianapolis said a
drawing teacher should first learn to love
| then love to learn. She, too, believed
| sympathy to be an essential of success.
| Other topics discussed we're "Values
What Subjects Are Best Adapted to
| This? What Mediums? In What
Grades?" by A. Dwight Kennedy, La Sale
| ILL.,, and Mrs Martha Waite of De Kalb
