There are about sixty teachers
attending this institute, the ma
jority of whom are ladies.
Among the good things said at
the opening of the institute on
Wednesday night are the follow
ing, by Prof. L. B. Baldwin,:
Educational methods must be
sought in human experience.
Education is more than method !;
it involves also, determination,
resistance and character. Edu-
cation is more than merely com
mitting to memory, it involves
also assimilation. The will of
the boy must not be broken, it
must be directed. Education is
not simply process, it is also a
product. Teachers must not
only impart Information and cor
rect erroneous ideas, but inspire,
give life and interest to dull sub
jects. Education has always
been the forerunner of all changes
for the better in our social, polit-
ical and inventive national life. y
In his address on "Primary
Read ing," Prof. Travers ad
vanced the idea that it is bette,
for the child to learn the IL,
phonetic principles than 27ot
words during the hrst four year
of his school life. That unde
the old system he will read II
pages during his first term bu
under the pho netic method b
will read 400 the first term an
1000 the second ter m.
