TEACHING WITHOUT TEXTBOOKS
System I'm Use In PublIc Schools OF

system in Use In PnbIIc schools OF
I~rOnwOod. Mich.
The public schools OF ~Ironvood. Mich, are
teaching the young without the aid Of text
books. The system was introduced and per-
fected by Luther l.. Wright. now state SUI
perintendent Of public instruction. Mr..
Wright talks with pride OF his work.
The aim Of our schools lie to cultivate
duickness, alertness," he says. Because
textbooks teach a slow. plodding method,
we use them as little as possible.
THE teaching OF arithmetic is typical. For
the first six years the students use no
textbooks and have no problems. Visuallsa-
tion is the method we use in this as in
other sciences. / will explain the method,
and then take up the various subjects which
we teach by its use.
The teacher writes a word or q number
on the blackboard and grasses It instantly.
Then she calls on one Of her pupils. who
runs to the board and r~eproduces the word
or number. The word may be familiar OF
strange, II makes no difference. The stu.
dent is trained to see II and grasp Il In
stantly in his mind-to visualize 1t. That IL
the basis OF the training.
writing lie taught without the aid oi
~copybooks, by the visualization process
The children do not use states or pencils
but write with pen and ink from the verJ
beginning. Those are their final tools, and
why shouldn't they familiarise themselves
with them at the start?
ut is the same process with history
which is taught in the seventh and eighth
grades. The students read biography
largely. AT the end Of the study period on,
student makes an address on the subject Of
the lesson. He talks until he has told al
he knows and is not interrupted during the
recital. AT its close any other student 1;
allowed to supplement the remarks IL HI
desires.
This process gives the student training
in the use of language. We still teacl
grammar, rather against my will. for I be
lieve that the science OF English gramma,
does the Student little good.
Manual training begins in the fifth grad,
for the girls, and continues eight years
With the boys it begins at the seventh
grade and lasts six years. The girls ar,
taught sewing, cooking, housekeeping
dressmaking, domestic science. The boy
learn carpentry, forging and othe
branches"
Ironwood's manual training facilities ar,
the envy of the upper peninsula. On IL
el%even-acre campus surrounding the hlgl
school stand It's manual training school
built at a cost OF $50. 600, and its domesti
science building, which is nothing more no
less than a fully equipped house, into whicI
the girls go to learn the management o

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
Popular Lectures on Health Topics
Are Being offered.

The present agitation against consump-
ton and the exhibit at the Museum of
Natural History, which has given object
lessons to so many thousands. show clearly
that people are awakening to the fact that
sanitary science and public health is one
of the most important questions OF the
day. Owing to its peculiar position in the
heart of a great city, and acknowledging
its responsibility in all public matters,
especially those relating to the improve
ment of conditions in New York, Columbia
university has arranged a series Of free
public lectures on that subject which

inhabitants of this city the university has
ever given. They will be held in the large

will be closed ten minutes later. No tickets
of admission will be required and the
public will be admitted up to the capacity

world will speak on topics which vitality
concern human life. especially in big cities,

TURKS AMONG PROGRESSVES
Missionary c. +. Riggs Says New
Movement Has Been suc-
cessful.

C. r. Riggs, for several We IRIS a mission
airy in Turkey with headquarters in Con-
stantinople, is In Omaha. He said In ref
erence to affairs in Turkey; THE change
in the governmental affairs and success of
the Young Turkish party is permanent,
and il is not probable that the constitu-
tional party will ever be overthrow or
that Turkey will ever again revert to its
old, form OF an absolute despotism- The
recent revolution Is the result of agitation
for years and would have come sooner or
later. 1t was brought to a crisis through
the aggresslons of Austria in determining
TO secure a permanent seaport on the
Aegean sea at Salonica, and this unified the
progressive Turks, awakened a spirit Of
national pride and demonstrated the ne
cessity for Turkey to awake to the spirit
OF modern ideas, II II expected to continue
as one Of the world powers.
II think that the Sultan has seen this
tendency and that he rather welcomed than
repealed the advances OF the constitutional
party. The rapid growth OF education
throughout the Turkish empire has had
much to do with these conditions, and to
no one factor in the growth of the educa-
tional spirit Of Turkey is greater credit
due than to the evangelical mission schools
and colleges established by the American
ana BIlllsn mlSSlondty bOClelleS. lntSe
schools were at first looked upon with sus-
pieion by the Turks, but that prejudice
has vanished. The fanatical enmity against
Christians, Jews, unbelievers and heathens
generally is also disappearing and there is
a disposition to tolerate the education OF
women. In brief. the sick man has OF
late become convalescent and the prospects
are that he is going TO get well.
I'VE must not delude ourselves into any
belief that Turkey in Europe is going to
be wiped off the map by any means. Or
the contrary Turkey with her recent
awakening Is stronger than ever. With al
their peculiarities the Young Turks are
intensely patriotic and the awakening is
that of patriotism. tolerance and progress.
s~iveness. 1t is the Beginning OF a new era
along the Bosphorus and the whole WORLD
will sooner or later profit by 1t. The Turks
still operate their camel caravans, parallel,
ing the Smyrna railroad, but they are be.
ginning to like the railroad and will ir
time abandon their camel caravans. They
are taking kindly to industrial education
and are accommodating modern ideas slowly
