going out into the Institutional world
to study each and eve~y subject. He
would have us study civics by per-
forming and observing civic duties,
The discussion OF this paper by Mr..
Davies was a scholarly paper and a
plea for teaching true patriotism and
% true idea of freedom instead OF en-
phasizing the spread eagle variety of
gush which Is so often induIged in.
The afternoon session on Friday
was an interesting one on the SUBJ
Ject of manual training. Mr.. sauvain
explained the plan adopted in the Cas-
selton schools, which piaa is executed
without the aid OF a special teacher.
He had a very good display Of pupil
work on exhibition and his talk to-
gether with the display of work would
convince most anyone that IL is prac-
ticabie to put in a course of manual
training without a. teacher provided
that the district cannot afford the ex-
pense OF such special teacher. Super
lntendent Hanna, of Valley city, then
followed with a presentation of the
merits of the system under the guide
OF skilled specialist. He also had a
display of pupil work, but his was
done under the supervision of the spe-
cial teacher, and one had the opportu-
nifty to compare results under the ewo
plans. Professor Butterfield followed
with good discussion OF the work OF
his pupils on display In the manual
training room. The entire discussion
of the subject was sucsl as to convince
one of the merits of a course in manu-
al training.
Dean kennedy's Address.
Dean Kennedy's address was such
as he always gives. he made an ar
dent plea for the articulation of edu-
cation between the work in element
ary and secondary schools, between
secondary schools, between secondary
and college work, and between coll
lege and graduate study, that each
may be q PREPARATION xor the next
higher ana that all may bring about a
laments the fact that such articulation
does not exist at present and pleads
that we may work unitedly for 1t.
The Commercial club of Mayville
planned treat for the visiting teach
ers. They arranged for an automobile
ride from seven till eight in the even
ing. The ride was most enjoyable and
the teachers are deeply indebted to
the club for it's consideration. They
agree with all others who know of the
work of the club that 1t is very
much alive and is trying to promote
the interests OF Mayville and to en-
tertain all Mayville visitors.
