nes Wocott Mrs. II. M. Adams, Hor-
tense Swltzer and Mrs. Lizzie Davis. The
paper of each. setting forth the aims OF
the public schools, showed that all have
high ideals to be reached In the training
OF future citizens. In looking for results
the increased ability shown by many Of
the pupils was considered but the first
fruits OF the grand results that may be
hoped for hereafter. The good school
work shown by the Newfane pupils In the
Valley Fair exhibit was recorded as proof
OF the greater skill and power of some OF
the mental and manual training that the
teachers have endeavored to give. While
the physical and moral training has not
been neglected 1t is not easy to specify
immediate results. but this part Of the
teachers work was considered of prime
Importance.
Miss Switzer gave an interesting talk
on methods of teaching physiology and
hygiene and nearly all of the teachers tes-
titled to the great interest. manifested by
their scholars, large and small, in this
branch Mrs Wolcott gave an interest
ing paper on spelling. Mr.. Brown illus
trated primary work in numbers and Mrs.
Kenyon led a general discussion on the
methods of teaching history. Mr.. Lamb,
former teacher, was present. and add
ed interest to the discussion. The school
exhibits returned from the fair were
taken by each teacher to be distributed
as they belong. At the close of the con-
ference all expressed a feeling that the
time had been profltably spent and
another conference Is planned for dur
ing the coming term.
