Following Miss Sullivans address
Bishop Conaty made a few remarks.
He said:
"There Is a cry from the high schools
to the lower for better foundation
studies in English, to send university
students better equipped in English.
Bishop on Slang
"Much of the work that is done in the
school is counteracted by outside in
fiuences and one of the greatest of
these is slang-not that which is force
full but bad English. The children
hear it in the vaudeville, tennis court
and ball grounds They hear it and
assimlate it to their disadvantage.
"Some newspapers give stories re-
ported with such expressions, and these
have tendency to demoralize just the
same as disregard to parental
WHICH is so outraged
by the Sunday illustrated sheets
where children are put forward
doing that which tends to disrespect to
old age and they think it is smart, but
1t Is destructive to reverence, respect
and obedience. So not all the fault for
bad English is in the schools
How to Study

Mary T,oVOla DrOVed one of tha most in
structive addresses during the insti-
tute for the teachers.

Study, an Essential for Teachers she
said.
"Study is an essential for the teacher,
not of methods alone. We are always
talking to the children about 1t and
don't charit,' begin at home? Our duty
to our pupils obliges us TO study and
they have a right to expect 1t FROM u.s.

TEACHING METHODS AIRED AT
SISTERS INSTITUTE
Bishop conaty CrIticises Newspapers
Which In Their Comic Sheets
Encourage Disrespect
by Children

Increased attendance and growing en-
thusiasm marked the fourth day of the
sessions of the Sisters institute yester-
day at Hollywood.
Sister Mary Loyola, who delivers two
lectures daily, is growing in popularity
among the sisters, and many of her
methods will be doubtless adopted in
the local schools and converts.
The morning session was opened
yesterday by Miss Elizabeth Sullivan,
who spoke on Language in the
Grades" She said:
"We should leave the child unham-
pered in its little storissh child may
be encouraged or disco ragged and his
mouth may be closed forever by injudi-
cious words of the teacher. The little
one comes to think that his ideas are
not worth voicing and grows up with
that idea
"Some think that pen and ink should
not be introduced i'm the first grades
and that oral work should constitute
a large part of the primary work, at
least In the first two grades.

what he has not is never so true as in
the school room We cannot shirk our
duty by saying that we have our text
books. Were that the only duty of the
teacher she would have no place in the
economy of education. Libraries would
supplant the schools. But the teacher
is like a bee gathering the honey from
various blossoms and giving pure honey
to her pupils.
my plan for man, woman or child
who can read and write is to have a
note book, an encyclopedia and die
tionary, and to always hunt knowledge
to it's source, touch bed rock always,
and we shall evolve a student and a
scholar"
Five Notebooks
Sister Loyola briefly outlined her
plan, saying that five note books We're
necessary, labeled Book of Knowl-
edge" Wisdom" Synopsis of Wat
to Read" Character Study" and
Books to Read"
Her idea is to note in the book of
knowledge" anything that she does
not at the minute understand, any
word beginning with a capital, and at
her leisure to look it up. That adds to
knowledge.
The book Of wisdom" contains any
paragraph OF lnouBnI Inat is especially
interesting and conducive to further
thought on that line.
The synopsis" book is to contain the
meat of the poem, essay or book chap
ctr by chapter.
The fourth, Character study" Is to
contain the development of characters
in different books and their characteris-
tics, and the fifth, books to read" is
book wherein any books suggested
are enumerated with the names of the
author. before them. the date suggested
and at the other side of the page the
date when read.

morning on Esther" and Sister Loyola
on "Factors In Education, Attention

BRADLEY AND BALLARD
ARE ON THE WAR PATH
Founder of Asbury Park and One of
Ocean Groves Pioneers in
Political Fight.

ASBURY PARK, Mar. 23.-For
thirty-five years Founder Bradley, of
Asbury Park, and Dr.. A. E. Ballard,
vice president and m of the found
ers of Ocean Grove, have typified in
their relations the old proverb OF the
lion and the lamb. But now the TWO
c~o-workers in the Jersey wilderness
are distinctly on the outs and are
pouting at each other. Dr.. Ballard
says Founder Bradley is a backslider
and the founder intimates that the
doctor is a sort of queer politician
with peculiar views, which he set
forth in the Asa Francis campaign,
TO the no small CONSERVATION of his
Methodist brethren.
The fight between the two sturdy
pioneers grows out of the sO-called
annexation bill in the Legislature,
which provides for the %anneXing of
West Park, including the colored
district, to Asbury Park. Founder
Bradley is a bitter opponent OF the
measure on the ground that the large
colored vote in West Park would be-
come q purchasable commodity. At
the hearing in Trenton this week, Dr..
Ballard was one of the speakers. He
said;
The votes might be purchaSable,
but if so either side could buy them,
and Mr.. Bradley has the longest
string.
The founder was toe i'll TO attend
the hearing. but when he read Dr,
Billiards. remarks he jumped from a
sick bed and shotted his batteries
Today Mr.. Bradley poured this broad
side into the Ocean Grove leader,
which is expected 10 provoke a VIC
lent counter attack:
Dr.. Ballard says he has had some
experience in politics. Yes, he has.
and | guess he has found out some
dark and devious ways thar a poor,
laundering fellow like myself would
hesitate TO enter
Then the founder cites Dr.. Bal
lard's speech in the Francis cam
paign. in which the latter is quoted
as saying:
| have heard people say pick out
the best candidate in a community
and support him." That never seem
ed TO me 10 be good sense. 1t is nor
what a man is, but what he will do,

mony given by the witnesses called for

fiant. He retorted savagely to the
questions Of counsel. and his manner
was not that of the meek, inoffensive
testimony.
