Every one," declared the speaker, whether he be Jew or Gentle, oriental or occidental, has his part to add to the great broth erhood.
 "The last public address of John Hay was an appeal for what I have been speaking about tonight. He wished that all men do something to make war less necessary. The way is prepared. Do we want peace? Do we want in- ternational arbitration? Then let us teach our boys, while not despising the old generals, to admire a better kind of courage.
 T love to repeat to my own college boys the oath which each Greek youth took on reaching adolescence. It reads thus: I will not dishonor my country, and will leave her greater than found her. 1 will not desert my com rades, and will obey the laws of my country. I will not desert her temples, of all which may the gods be witness
 For the American boy I would add these: I will recognize the rights of other nations. I will do something for the brotherhood of mankind. I will obey the umpire of nations, and thus promote the equality of man. and the federation of the world
 The second speaker was Kate Stew ems of the Teachers Training college, London, who spoke on Some Recent Educational Developments in Eng land" She first expressed the good will which the Teachers guild of her na- tion felt towards the American Insti- tute. She gave an account of the religious question and its rise up to the present acute form.

He has, as Hanford Henderson says, a lack of totality, a desire to do as little as possible, and get as much as possible He is lazy Belf-seeking and of fiashy character The school, he declared. is not entire ly responsible for these conditions There are two other responsible factors which must share the blame. They are the industrial world and the home. The report of the committee on industrial and technical schools for Massachus- etts says that the apprentice system formerly did its part toward the build. ing of substantial citizens, but now every day lost by the apprentice sys. tenn is gained by the schools.
 h The speaker said that the home wa: rsfermerly most potent factor in edu tlcation, but now the duty of supplying 1.-the practical. old fashioned" motoi ! training rests with the schools Tht Gschools, he thought, were rising to tht tloecasion. There were some bad prac '1tices, he admitted, but he said If tn, ppublio school is ever to give childrt anything like the discipline they useC to receive in the home and workshop
