At the high scnOOl building Monday
morning Mr.. Phillips talked briefly to
the teachers, and then Introduced the
instructors each Of whom spoke on
matters concerning education. In his
remarks MI Mallory said that, in his
experience with the teaching frater-
nifty Of this cOutny, he was led to
make the statement that the teachers
too often quit work in the high school
course before they are ready to do
the best work among the pupils I'M
der their care OWN to this tenden-
cy, he said that the high school had
been sacrificed to make teachers for
the country districts. The professor
then gave his ideas about the Qualifi-
cations OF a good teacher, and urged
his hearers to make a thorough pre-
parauOn for their work, so that they
might exert a wider influence upon
the education and the character of
the neighbOrhOOd in which they lab
Ored-
Professor Mccormick followed with
a talk upon work and play as ele-
ments in education. He argued for
a clear-cut division between them,
that the student should work hard
while he works and not to forget that
- L.
through the healthful exercise of the
body His points upon the relation
OF memory to reason in diSciplining
the mind We're good, showing that eV-
cry time the thinking function gives
any or It's proper work over to mem
DRY, the mind becomes impaired and
the training unbalanced. "a good
memory is a luxury" he said but
a Straining Of the memory instead of
cultivating the mind is bad. Edu-
cation is after the whole man, and
anything less than that is sacrifice"
