Ahc ptCotuOho, WI. ~. ". NiVco-
beck, opened the meeting with q
service, such as he. uses
in his school, after which Supt.
A. E. Green addressed the teach
ers III an informal way. He Urged |
their corporation in working for
the up-building of educational in
terests, telling them that this u.s.
sociatlon could and should be of
such power as to commahd the
respect of Superintendent. School
Board and people; /
The discussion based on
"Chubb's Teaching of English"
dealt with the work of the first
six grades. and was participated
in by Misses Kidd, Bergman, Bru-
nette Lewis Gorton and YewelI.
ChuBb says, "Like al good
things; good manners, ESPECIALLY
good speaking manners, begin at
home" The school may secure
correct speech from the pupil, but
on the playground, aud in the
home, he lapses into carelessness
and slanginess. The child who
comes from the home that en-
courages the recitation of the fla
vorite poem, and that has a high
standard of reading and CONVEX
sation will show o purity of
speech not found in the child less
favorably INJURED. Another point
emphasized was, that teachers re-
quire too much written work and
that it is too laborious. Express
sion should be free and sponta-
neous. :,
Mr.. Grossbeck began the dis
cussion of "Thorndyke's Princi-
pies of Teaching" with an able
talk on Interests and Attention.
He said: Interest presupposes
knowledge, you have no interest
in a subject of which You are
totally ignorant. The greater mum.
Der of interests a person has the
greater will be his happiness and
usefii1ness;'. here we have one Of
the STRONGEST arguments for the
introduction of the arts and man
unl training into our public
schools.
The chapter on individual Diff
ferences" was discussed by Mr..
Mobley, who gave results Of
school-room tests, showing a wide
range of difference in pupils, and
emphasized the importance of the
study of the individual child by
both parent and teacher. !.
Mr.. Moseley's subject, "Associ
ation," vas very interesting. III
showed how, by associating ever,
right or wrong action WITH a cor
responding feeling'of satisfaction
or discomfort, right habits ma,
be formed and n well-roundet
character developed.
