MINUTES OF EDUCATIONAL MEETING
RECENTLY HELD IN ASSEMBLY HALL.
Under the Leadership of County Superintendent Teck the Teachers
Held Very Helpful Institute Discussing Methods to
Increase Efficiency Of the Public Schools

sentence method is considered the BEST
but no matter with which one we start
we use all the methods before we have
advanced very far. Mrs. Pollard's
Phonic System, though very suggestive
and gave distinct articulation, empha-
sized the mechanical side so strongly
that the thought getting or the true
aim of reading was secondary place.
The Rational method Is combination
OF word and sound and is trying to
strengthen the weak side OF the Pollard
system.
Mrs. Carmalt closed her talk by say
ing that we should put forth every
effort to train the mother tongue and
that we should soak ourselves In good
literature. Mrs. Carmalts talk showed
us that the methods OF education differ,
and very widely, from those previously
used. But these differences are seldom
radical ones, they are mostly the result
of additional knowledge gained from
additional experiences.
Miss Mansfield, of Indiana Normal,
gave very interesting talk on "Vaca-
tion Schools" These schools are OPEN
ed for the benefit Of the poor children
who live principally on the street. In
these schools cooking, sewing, painting,
manual training and such things are
the branches taught. She had with
her some samples OF basketry work.
Occupation work has a great educa-
tional value because of the concentra-
tion of the mind and thought IL also
developes the inventive side OF the
child's nature. Any one interested In
basketry will find many helpful sug-
gestions 10 'How to Make Baskets"
by May White.
Prof. Teitrick urged the teachers to
place in their schools The Youths Com
pdnion and Success. He had made
arrangements by which the teachers
could get Tie Youths Companion for 10
cents per month and the Success 35
cents for six months.
The meeting was we'll attended and
will prove great. help to the teachers.

In a snappy game of baseball
played at Waco yesterday afternoon
between the Trinity University
and Baylor University teams the
Trinity boys won in a score of II to
6. The Trinity team regained it's
prestige lost the day before and
showed the Baylor.boys a few points
in ball playing. The main feature
of Trintty's playing was the strong
batting of the boys. Several of the
boys made safe connection and
Walter Burleson made a home run.
Shorty Steele took the balls from
the bat and Bruce Templeton held
down the pitchers box in most
creditable manner. He famed the
Waco boys almost as fast as they
could pick up the bat. 1t was q
nice, clean game, and music was
furnished by the Baylor University
brass band.
1t is said by those who have re-
turned from Waco that Trinity
lost the game Monday because Of
the illness of the pitcher, Luther
Burleson. Then, too, the train the
boys went down on was crowded and
they had to stand up all the way to
Waco When they reached there
they were not in much condition
for playing ball,

FIELD DAY At PARK SCHOOL
The Exercises Attracted q Large
and Enthusiastic Crowd.

In ali ages and among all nations
martial valor has ever been the in
spiation of song and story. Yester-
day we celebrated not San Jacinto
day alone, but all the deeds of brav-
cry that led up to that famous battle
of April 81, 1896. This date was
chosen because on that day victory
laureled the brave men who had
chosen Texas for their home.
For a great many years it has
been the custom of the schools
through the state to hold exercises
commemorative of this day so sac
red to all Texans.
In keeping with this custom yes
terday was a red letter day III the an
mails Of the Park High School. A
big crowd, lots of enthusiasm and
fine amusement in brief tells the
story of the field day exercises on
the grassy sward in front of the
school building. Ii is doubtful If
there ever was so large a crowd on
the high school campus before. The
old and young, the grave and gay
were all there, and they enjoyed the
exercises to the fullest degree.
1t was a great time for the pupils
of the school There WAS plenty
doing and almost every kind of field
sport you could mention was seen
on the grounds. On the east side of
the walk the boys entertained the
spectators with contests In running,
vaulting, tambling, etc. On the west
side Of the walk could be seen hoop
drill, scarf drill, wand drill, dairy
maids drill, and Indian huntress
drill by the girls. The sack races
Brownie races, dude races, clown
races and bliudman's races were all
quite amusing.
DECIDEDLY this best feature on the
program was the military drill by
the young ladies Of the high school
They showed a thorough knowledge
OF the manual OF arms and some OF
the figures and ndmaneuvers were clev.
