VAN HISE ANSWERS
TEACHER CRITICS
IN ADDRESS BEFORE SCHOOL
MASTERS, MILWAUKEE.
KNOWLEDGE COMES FIRST

Teachers-Next Step to Provide
Opportunities for Practice.

Milwaukee. Wis, Jan. 15-Presi-
dent Charles r. Van Hise of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin addressed the
Schoolmasters' Club here last even
ing on the subject: what Should
the University of Wisconsin Do for
the Profession of Teaching?' In the
course of his address he expressed
the belief that four-fifths of the train
ing of teachers should be devoted to
giving them knowledge and an enthu-
siasm for knowledge which they are
to impart to their pupils This train
ing in the subjects which they are to
teach, he pointed out, it has been
the aim of the university to give to
its students The best methods of
teaching the subjects have been pre-
sented at the university not by the
department of education, but by the
professors in each department, in
what are known as teachers courses.
The departments of English, history,
German, Latin, zoology, and music,
President Van Hise explained, give
teachers courses designed to furnish
students preparing to teach, with the
best methods of presenting the sub
jects to high school pupils. In addi-
ton all students desiring to become
teachers are required to pursue for
two years courses in psychology and
III TOD Of
tice teaching in the Madison schools
has been given to students in connec-
ton with the teaches courses; and
when the new nigh school is complet-
ed, it is hoped to increase the oppor-
tunity for this practice work. If pos
sible a model school will be estab-
lished at the university to give great
er opportunity for this practice train
ing.

Teachers Courses.

But do not misunderstood me:
would not neglect instruction
in methods of presenting the
subjects to high school students,
though / believe this should be large
ly subordinated to the more import
ant elements of which l have just
spoken. Nor has the university neg
lected this training. It has not, how
ever, developed this instruction of
methods of teaching entirely in the
department of education. We have
believed that those who themselves
ject, and who in many cases them
selves have taught the subject in
secondary schools, are the persons
best fitted to show others how to
teach. Each department, the subject
of which is taught in high school, has
accordingly maintained for number
of years a teachers course in which
is presented by some member of the
department most competent to do so
the best methods of teaching that

departments of English, history, Ger
man, Latin and zoology, for example,
have for many years provided these
teachers courses. In most instances
these courses have included not only
discussion of the best methods of
teaching, but also a review of the
parts of the subject given in the high
school curriculum With your per-
mission I desire to read the descrip-
ton of some of these courses as given
in the university catalogue. The
department of German announces a
teachers course as follows: A criti-
cal study of the methods of teaching

discussions, and practice teaching

knowledge Comes First.

THE most important element in
the training of teachers, the nniver-
sity has always held, is knowledge of
the subject which they are to teach"
said President Van Hise in opening
''Four-ffths of the effort of the uni
versity, therefore. has been devoted
to giving the students as thorough
mastery as possible of the material
which they expect to impart to
others. If we can create in our stu
dents a real love for knowledge, if
We can arouse in them interest and
enthusiasm for their work, it seems
to me that there will be little ques-
ten as to their ability to teach the
subjects in which they are Interested.
A real appreciation of literature, an
enthusiastic interest in science or
mathematics, go further, l believe,
toward making a successful teacher
than any amount of training in mere
pedagogic method.

POlrs New Theater.

Ellie Fay and her tuneful song hits, with "The Belle of Avenue A" as the leader, is making big hit at Polls this week. She is undoubtedly one of the cleverest comediennes in vaude- vile.
 An act that is attracting unusual at- tention is that of Beatrice Mckenzie and Walter Shannon in "A Shine Fir tation." Possessing splendid voices, they give a very interesting and tune full bit of musical comedy. Rossaire and Doretto are of interest to the seek CTS after novelty, for their equilibristic and gymnastic exhibition is wonderful. Pierce and Mazee open the show; Val veno brothers give a clever number as opponents of the well-developed man, and Billy Van, the late minstrel star, is here with bundle of the goods.

Railroad Committee Disposed to Turn
 Them Down.
 Hartford, April 24-The railroad com mittee has voted unanimously to report unfavorably on the petition of the East Haven and Morris Cove Railroad com pany for extension of time and addi- tional charter privileges.
 It is quite evident that promoters are busy trying to get charters in various parts of the state, the pleced-together result of which would be parallel road. A parallel road would be a road likely to be saleable or sought for on the lease plan, repeating the history of the U. G. l, expedition into this state, stock watering and all.
 The agents and lobby of the promo. ters and bond sellers have been busy but the railroad committee evidently understand the situation and the game.
