audience participated generally. The gen.
eral complaint was that the schools did
not fit the pupils and the primary cause
alleged for this unfortunate result was the
teaching of some branches of study wholly
abstract, such as the dead language; other
branches too much in the abstract instead
of in the concrete and hence natural way.
and the omission of industrial studies
manual training and agricultural and
domestic science, altogether. The general
consensus of opinion was that the much
useless matter in text books should be ig-
nored; that teaching should be largely
from object lessions; that present high
school courses should be made elective, and
that industrial training should be added
as rapidly as possible. Upwards of a hun
dred teachers and patrons were present

port recommends that quarters be
rented in this city for conducting the

weighing Of the mails; that the compen-
sation for railroad mail service be ad-
Justed during the term, when the d.
versions made materially affect the av-
erage daily weights; that the granting Of
leave with pay 70 railway clerks during
the period Of disability incurred In the
line of duty be also extended to substi-
tute clerks.
It Is also recommended that Congress-
be requested to consider the providing
OF relief for railway postal clerks
permanently disabled IN line or duty or
incapacitated for further oIty through
long and faithful service. Also that
authority be secured for the manufac-
ture Of equipment IN the mailbag repair
shop when special or emergency equip
ment IS needed, and that Congress be
asked to provide a sufficient sum for
the establishment of a sub-mallbag re
pair shop at a point in the central West.
