under existing social and economic conditions
 The first speaker to discuss the ques- tion was Superintendent John w. Carr of Anderson. Ind. He emphasized the importance of securing more compe- tent educators. and his argument was that higher pay is essential to the right training of young Americans. What Is needed above everything else in our public schools said Mir. Carr, "is the master hand that can bring unity, harmony, and results out of our modern course of study. What the schools need is the master teacher. It Is a weak and poor attempt to carry out the course of study which causes many good people to cry out against expense and what they term fads' in the public schools, and to sigh for the good old times when we had only the three R's and anybody could teach school. The course of study is not too rich, not too complex, nor elaborate to suit the tastes and meet the needs of our enlightened and progressive peo- pie. People would no more return to the old time curriculum than they would return to the old log cabin school house. The need is of teachers of sufficient skill to meet the new con ditions. A $40,00O school house Is a
 modern necessity; a $40 teacher in that II
 | school is an anomoiy. Whenever the American people are willing to expend as much for great teachers as they do | for great school buildings, then we | shall have great schools"
 MT. Carr was followed by other ac- l knowRdged leaders, and the result of the discussion may be summed up as | showing among school men great unity in the opinion that the academic | branches. the so-called cultural stud | les. should always be central in any | practical educational course. but not 1 exclusive; that manual fraining must
 be given a place as an essential; and.
 what is of greater importance, that
 teachers of broader scholarship and | greater skill must be secured.
 At the meeting of the Indiana State | Teachers Association last December. a Committee, of winch Mir. Carr was | Chairman. submitted report on "Tax- l ation and Teachers Salaries" The re-
 port shows that the average wages
 paid farm hand in Indiana is larger
 than the average salary paid tho | country teacher. The average pay of | skilled workmen to the number of 65.-

tions among the citizens. This may be best for the social conditions Europeans have to face, but Americans were warned against adopting European or other foreign methods. the tendency of which would be "to strike at the roots of our freely evolving democratic so- cfety"
 The speaker found much worthy of commendation and emulation in the European schools that train young men for commercial pursuits. In Germany particularly, young men are trained
 in a high degree for colonial and for eign trade service. They master the language of the country to which they are assigned, and are drilled by a care full study of its geography, topography
 routes of trade, and agricultural and
 mineral products. America. owing to
 her great natural advantages, has thus far maintained her commercial su-
 premacy, but she cannot continue to
 hold her position in the markets of
 the world unless she trains equally
 well her agents

 cussed the educational features of the
 exposition. Analysing the exhibits
 made by American schools. Mir. Lyte
 noted a remarkable uniformity in the
 courses of study throughout the coun- try, and concluded that American schools are in harmony with American ideals Referring to manual training, he said the subject did not receive. a. has been charged. an undue share of attention Not only does it supple ment the old apprentice system, but 1t has its part In the all-round develop ment of the youth.
 The Means of Incre asing the Eff i ciency of Our Public School Work" was ! assigned as subject of discussion, and | no greater question confronts us to- ] day The problem concerns principal | ly the course of study and the qualifi- 1 cations of the teacher. In the tradi- | tIonaI courses of study only academic
 branches were included. During re- cent years singing, drawing. physical l culture. manual training in all its va ried forms domestic science, etc, have | been added. The old courses embraced l perhaps a dozen subjects.

Exaracts from a Report to the Board of Education Made by the City Superintendent of Schools
 of Montgomery.

Published by Request Of the Boarol
 The attendance at Milwaukee was large. amounting to nearly 1000 men and women-superinten of States and cities, principals of high schoels' college presidents, and other educators- The meetings were held in Davidson Theatre, and an interesting feature of the opening exercises on the first day was the singing of The Star Spangled Banner" and songs of welcome by a chorus of 800 school boys. The we'll trained voices, clear enunciation, ana fine expression afforded striking eN- ample of what can be accomplished by a course in music as part of the pup lie school curriculum.
 The first session of the convention was devoted to a review of the educa- tional features of the Louisian Pur- chase Exposition. In all of the great international expOsitions that have been held some leading motive has exercised a controlling influence That of the St- Louis Exposition was education edu- cation in its broadest sense. Greai Prominence. however, was given in the Restricted sense of the term, inasmuch as one of the main buildings was de- voted to exhibits made by schools and school systems Every foreign country noted for educational progress was represented. Dr. Howard J. Rogers Assistant Commissioner of Education of New York State, was chief of the Department of Education and Con- gresses at the fair, and to him was assigned the leading place in the dis cussion of the topic. Dr. Rogers com pared the educational system of this country with those of foreign countries especially the European. In the United states. the educational system is wei articulated from Kindergarten to uni verslty: and practically the same course of study applies to all students alike In Europe there is a division into two distinct departments, each under a sep arate and independent head, and eacf having a different end in view.
