feet simplicity, indicating that his
heart Is in the work of making better
citizens out of the boys of the street,
rather than sending them further
down the grade.
Thursday mornings program includ-
ed two papers of merit; the first, by
Supt. Van Sickle. of Baltimore, on the
matter of Salaries and Promotion of
teachers" and the other by President
Felmley, of Normal, ILL.,, upon the
Next Step In The Salary Campaign"
or the Establishment by Law of a
Minimum Wage for Teachers. and
again was displayed lack of informa-
ton with regard to North Dakota's
educational progress. President Felm-
ley knew nothing about North Dakota's
minimum salary law until the matter
was called to his attention by this
department. The meeting OF Thursday
afternoon was given over to the theme
of ''Industioal Education, but, because
OF the proposed trip to Mammoth
Cave, the North Dakota party missed
this meeting. 1t is said by those who
did attend, to have been one of the
best programs OF the whole Associa-
ton. ~
On the evening of Thursday 1t was
decided that the party should make
trip to the Mammoth Cave-even in
spite of the fact that Supt Sonderall
demurred to making the trip during
the night. Supt. Norton is authority
for the statement that Supt. Sonderall
wished to make the trip in the day
time in order that he might see the
Cave. The trip through the cave,
especially the long trip to the river,
which most of the party took, is some
thing which will be remembered for
many years to come. 1t is useless to
attempt to describe the trip through
this Cave. One is constantly impress
ed with the terrific forces which must
have been in action to have created
such a wonderful cavern. The only
thing we are sorry for in connection
with this trip is that it was impossible
to take photograph of the party.
We feel quite confident that such
photograph would have sold at a
premium In many parts of North Da-
kota.

turn home on Friday evening, March 2.

was full of interest. Through the
kindness of L. c. Smith, oi Heating
and Ventilating fame, most of the
party was enabled to visit the Univer-
sity of Chicago and catch fleeing
glimpse of this. wonderful institution.
To us, one OF the most interesting
points was our visit to Hull House.
that famous Social Settlement in the
heart of the slum district of Chicago.
We regret exceedingly that we did not
have great deal more time to spend
there to study the work of this wonder

Adams is the moving spirit.

banded and the members made their

for Bays, both of which were excep-
t1Onally good. The last paper, what
Education is Best Fitted for Boys,
was given by Reuben Post Halleck,
principal of the Boys High School,
Louisville, and author of Halleck's
Psychology, and The Education of the
Central Nervous System.
The principal address of the evening
was delivered by Prof Simeon. New
combe, of the Astronomical Obser-
vatory at Washington. His theme was
Method In Arithmetic" and, while
undoubtedly Prof. Newcombe is
master in the subject of Mathematics,
his paper was exceedingly tedious and
in our judgment, should not have been
placed upon an evening program. An
evening program of any association
should be of an inspirational char
acter.
The morning program of Wednesday
consisted OF several papers of very
high order. the first by DR.. Frank
McMurray on "The improvement of
the Study PERIOD; the second by DR..
Martin G. Brumbaugh on Examinations
ed by an address by President Lewis
IL SoASo VI VIC NliShlSotiu A<Ol Lldb
School System OH How To Improve
the Grammar School Teacher" An
other important paper was read at
this meeting by DR.. Harris, Commits
sioner of Education. The papers of
DR.. McMurray and DR.. Brumbaugh
were mastery efforts and will I'M
doubtedly be read with great deal
OF interest and profit by educators.
The address of President Jones was
disappointing, especially as we had
been led to believe that Lewis H. Jones
is one Of the big men in educational
thought in this country. Mr.. Harris,
while undoubtedly one of the greatest
educational thinkers of this country,
is one of the most disappointing
speakers one listens to. The after
noon of Wednesday was given over to
the Round Table Discussions. The
North Dakota party, of course, attend
ed the Round Table of the State and
County Superintendent and partic-
pated, to certain extend in the dis
cussions of this meeting. and to the
North Dakota members, the lack of in
formation regarding North Dakota pro-
gress which was manifested by some
of the other members present was
really remarkable. However, it goes
without saying that those in attend
ance at that Round Table went away
fully enlightened upon the subject of
North Dakota. The evening program
of Wednesday was one of the greatest
interest. The first address was given
by Miss Julia Richmond, District Su-
perintendent in Greater New York, on
the "Incorrigible Child. 1t was
mastery presentation of the subject
and will long be remembered by those
who heard this great effort. Miss
Richmond was followed by Judge Lind
say, of the Juvenile Court in Denver,
on the topic of "The Juvenile or School
Court. Judge Lindsay is decidedly
boyish in appearance, yet the story
of his work with the boys of Denver,
especially those who come under the
eye of the court, was remarkably in

will make failure of teaching; the
parent who has a long list of don'ts
which he continually harps to his
children will have poorly governed
family; the reason we have our prisons
filled with so many criminals is be-
cause we have Il code far too extensive.
Those are best governed who seem to
be least governed.
The first essential is a good pure
mind in the teacher. Without this
there can be no purity impaired to the
pupils minds. Pure, life-giving water
does not flow from stagnant pool. 1t
has been said that the child mind, like
the lower animal creation, has q Won
derfully keen intuitive power that
seems to safeguard it against dangers.
We believe strongly in mental telapa-
thy and feel sure that the good or the
evil thoughts of a teacher are almost
unCOnSiOuSly conveyed to the pupil.
If this be true, then how necessary it
is that only pure minds be brought in
contact with the minds of our children.
1t has been said that when two get
married. though they may be very diff
ferent from each other, that in course
of time they come to he more and
more alike, even grow to look alike.
The stronger mind eXerts an influence
over a weaker, no doubt. and this is
the true cause OF amalgamated minds.
Ii this be true, then how much
greater must be the influence of q ma
ture mind over an immature one for
evil or for good. How essential it is
that we employ only those who have
pure minds. to developc in our child
rem the same noble aspirations.
Edward Dunlap, one of Americas
greatest criminals, has recently be-
queathed his body and brain to science,
believing that crime is contagious

He was an artist, poet, man OF
letters and a noted criminal and

merit 1t is generally conceded now
that drunkenness is Il disease; that it
has been cured would seem to sub
stantiate that belief. 1t is also claimed
that lying is disease rather than a
contracted habit.
In the face OF these various theories
is it not well that we give much more
attention to the mental, moral and
physical condition of the teacher than
to the methods he employs to bring
about an ethical condition?

The trip was uneventful. in that
nothing extraordinary happened.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the trip and
good fellowship and good feeling pre-
vailed during the entire time. The
company received every attention at
the hands of the railroads and was
landed safe and sound in Louisville
on Monday evening, February rs, in
the midst of raging snow storm.

North Dakota are accustomed to snow
and did not mind the chilliness OF the
weather.
The party was very comfortably
located at the Gait House and was
prepared to see and hear to the utter
most during the next three or four
days. The North Dakota party was
by far the largest from any of the
Northwestern states and attracted a
great deal of attention by reason of
the large number of women superin-
tendents and the twenty-seven men,
bers of the party. The three days
during which the department was in
session found the party faithful and
regular in attendance upon the meet
ings. The meetings Of the department,
on the whole. were very interesting

ton of Cleveland. This was followed

way back as best suited their con-
venience. A few members of the party
tarried behind In Chicago and as yet
have not given an account of them
selves.
1t Is not difficult to believe that a
trip of this kind has a very great
influence upon any company OF people.
The meeting with those engaged In a
similar occupation from all over this
great land of ours is, in and of itself,
a liberal education. There is no doubt
but that the schools of North Dakota
will feel the impress of this meeting
for many years. One comes back to
work refreshed in body and spirit and,
In the case of the North Dakota Super
intendents, with the idea that North
Dakota is not so far behind the rest
of the country in educational progress
as our youth as state and pioneer
conditions might warrant: the fact is.
North Dakota Is leading practically all
the Northwestern states in educational
improvements. This is not said in
boasting spirit, but is the simple truth.
and. that fact established, ought to stir
everyone interested in the cause of
education in North Dakota to redouble
their efforts in behalf of the work of
our state. Such trip as this is we'll
worth the time and expense of MAX
ing it. 1t brings the school men and
women of the whole country intb
touch with one another. forms lasting
friendships and promotes spirit Of
good fellowship to a remarkable de-
gree, and when one has been once he
is bound to go again. There will be
no question about the attendance from
North Dakota in years to come.

judgment. a model presiding officer.

right to measure up by the side of

The Moral and Ethical Problem.

We are in receipt of letter from
Hon. M. M. Kramer, superintendent of
public instruction, South Dakota. say
ing: CAS- a result of my paper at the
state educational association. the asso-
citation decided to take active steps
toward putting into the schools of the
state definite system of moral and
ethical training with Il basis of script

committee of fifteen which shall be
representative of all the shades OF re-

business it Shall be to create course

text books and make recommendations

The movement is receiving much pop

little adverse criticism, and we hope
that South Dakota will set Il good ex-
ample for other states by making its
school grounds the purest place in the
state"
To the above we replied that we arc

The new president Of the Depart

tendent Stetson Is a big man, physical-
ly and Is considered q big man In
educational matters, especially in New
England. It is probably true that he
ranks among the three or four leading
educators who occupy the Office Of
State Superintendent.
The next meeting of the Depart
ment will be held in Chicago. There
were three candidates for the COM
Ing meeting: Chicago, st. Paul and
Hot Springs. North Dakota was for
st. Paul and probably added dozen
or fifteen votes to the one hundred or
SO which St. Paul received. It is
thought that the Department will be
well cared for in Chicago. There is
no doubt as to the facilities in Chicago
Tor taking care of this meeting.
The Seelbach hotel in Louisville,
which was used as headquarters, is GER
tainly very fine hotel; the only thing
which it lacks is large and roomy
rotunda. Its architectural finish and
furnishings are not surpassed by any
hotel in the country.
Hotel rates in Louisville were some
thing exhorbitant. There was no at
tempt made by the hotel managers to
keep to the schedule given on the
programs of the Association. ! The
members attending this meeting went
away from Louisville with the idea
that it was the intention of the hotel
people to get every dollar possible ont
of the visitors. This may be all right
for the time being but it is very
poor advertisement for city. 1t would
seem that when certain rate is
advertised on the programs of the
Department. there ought to be con-
tract whereby the hotels could be held
to the rates published.
