SCHOOL MARMS
HEAR LECTURES
DR.. Tyler Warns PedOgOgueS
Against Becoming "Dy-
SpetiCs"
TREATMENT OF CHILDREN

The spacious auditorium Of the High
School was comfortably filed this
morning with school teachers of this
city and others interested in educa-
tional matters, it being the initial ses-
sion Of the annual Teachers Institute.
The meeting was begun by the sing
ing of abide With Me" in mighty cho-
rus, after which the Rev. DR.. Kellogg,
pastor Of Grace NJ. r. Church, made
the invocation This was followed
by another selection sung by all pres
ent, the vQfees being accompanied by
the High School Orchestra, accompan-
led by Miss Nellie Gillespie, a teacher
in No. / School.
The first speaker introduced was DR..
John M. Tyler, Department of Biology,
Of Amherst College, who held the at
tention Of his hearers for an hour with
an intensely interesting lecture on
"'rhe School as an Institution Of Power
and Its Growth" In his address DR..
Tyler dwelt at length upon the neces-
sity existing for physical culture
among school pupils and the cultiva-
tion Of cheerfulness on the part of the
teachers, stating that the first ques-
tion that should be asked Of a teacher
is Are you a dyspeptic??"
At the conclusion of Dr. Tyler's re-
marks there was a solo by Miss Carrie
Forrest. of No. 1s School, after which
Calvin n. Kendall, superintendent of
the indianapolis public schools, was ac-
corded an ovation, delivering a MASTER
iy address upon the Increasing De-
mands Upon the Growth, the Training,
and the Scholarship Of Teachers by
the Modern School"
Not for a moment did the attention
Of his listeners waver, as story after
story and quick and apt illustration
poured from the lips Of the speaker,
some Of his most striking points being
as follows:
School a Democracy.
"The school is a little democracy.
where the ruling condition should be
cleanliness and deceney. The govern
ment Of the modern school is largely
Improved in recent times owing to the
better understanding o. the pupils by
the teachers and the teachers by the
pupils"
The speaker also spoke at length on
the value of physical culture and said
that the time would surely come when
all city schools would be equipped with
Bymnasiums and large Fairgrounds.
Concerning the latter he said that ITO
play was Gods own method to teach
the child to work and a boy without a
playground would probably be a father
without a Job later on" Great stress
was also laid on the necessity for
proper ventilation Of schools, seats,
textbooks and other things having to
do with the work. bringing out many
very valuable suggestions for the in
structors present
An intermission OF FIVE minutes fol-
lowed the address OF. Mr. Kendall. dur
ing which another song was sung in
chorus. after which a very interesting
lecture was delivered by Miss Frances
Young. supervising principal Of the
Philadelphia public schools, in which
she dealt exhaustivelv and entertain
ingly with the Children Of Our
Schools" pointing out the manner in
which children OF different strengths.
physically and intellectually should be
treated and taught so that the best pos
sible results might be attained.
