Brief Afternoon Sessions.
The afternoon meetings were all more
or less disorganized, first owing to the
fact that too many section meetings
were arranged for the same hour. This
Trouble was moderated later in the day
by changing the hours for DR.. Suzzal-
los talk to the grammar section and
making it a general session at 4 o'clock.
The sections, therefore, held only short
meetings, and all gathered in general
session to hear DR.. Suzzalio's second
address.
This had for its title. Influence of
Literature on Language and Charac-
ter" 1t was considered by all who
heard it a mastery treatment of a sub
ject of vital Importance in the educa-
ton of every child. The keynote of the
speech is contained in this sentence:
I'VE are realizing more as we proceed
that the school is to turn out men, not
only with appreciative power, but men
with ability to influence life through
expressive power.
DR.. Gordy on Citizenship.
At the close Of Governor Cutters ad-
dress, DR. Gordy was introduced. He
had for his subject, THE Ideal Citi-
zen" The speaker followed the devel
opment of every educational system
since the first civilization and showed
how in every instance the systems have
been designed to preserve the funda-
mentals of government. He showed
how the American system lays special
stress on the supreme worth of the in
dividual.
"A good citizen" said the. speaker,
must be a man with a certain kind of
knowledge, a certain kind Of reasoning
power and an effective idea of civic
duty. This knowledge must be of a
kind not found in books alone"
The speaker followed the lines of de-
velopment in the history of this coun-
try, and showed how great fundamen-
tai principles not embodied in the con-
stitution have become a part of our
government.
Coming to his second point, DR.. Cor
dy said: Someone has said that Rus
STA is a despotism tempered by the fear
of assassination. ! should say our gov
eminent is one by professional poll
ticians tempered by fairly independent
voters. Professional politicians write
the platforms. make the speeches and
manage the campaigns; and so the CIT
izen needs certain kind of reasoning
power to sit in judgment on the state
ments Of these politicians.
The citizen needs a certain effective
idea Of civic duty, not the kind that
says self first and country after, but
the kind that says my country first.
Men and women Of this country, do you
know what you have and where You
got It? Do you know that the whole
world has been enc great battlefield,
that you might have freedom of the
individual. of speech and of the press?
II every teacher here tonight, could in
the next ten years educate only oue
boy or girl year to these ideals Of cit
izenship this state would present
condition unparalleled in the country"
