OLD EDUCATION AN EYE FAD
Principal Graf Attacks Past Pedigog-
ical Methods.
MANUAL TRAINING A BLESSING
Head of Omaha High school Points
Out that Eye il bat One Means
OF Teaching child How
TO Learn,

Industrial education was discussed by the
teachers of Douglas county in thor semi
annual meeting in the city hall Saturday,
and addresses were delivered by several
leading educators of the state. J. +. Nc
Lane, president of the county organization,
was unable to be present, and in his alb
sence W. A. Yoder, county superintendent,
presided.
The speakers in the morning included w
X. Fowler. OF Lincoln, editor of the Ne
braska Teacher and formerly state super
intendent of public instruction; L. L.
Graft, principal of the Omaha High
school; Frances Bell. Agnes Mckay, Mat
tie Sidner, May cakes and Catherine
Lyons, teachers in the country schools.
Principal Graft pointed out the faddish-
ness of the old system of education. that
of purely book learning and showed
the beneficial results of the newer method
Of instruction. declaring that all educa-
tional worth is not contained in books.
Mind Learns From Many Avenues.
The mind learns not only through the
eye, but through all the senses of the
body said Mr.. Graft. The eye is one
essential, though by all means not the
only one, for the hand is of equal inn
portance. There are eight times as many
arts of expression of the human brain
that comes from the hand as from the eye
and tongue. We have made a fad of too
much abstract study of oral and written
expression, as we have made a fad out
of breakfast foods and women's hats.
1T is not so much a question of what
the child is going to study and what he is
going to learn, as it is a question as to
how he is to learn. Industrial training not
only informs the mind, but develops the
boy or the girl by actual experience. The
learns quite as much from actual
experiences as from book study, for we all
remember that old and great truth that
experience is the best teacher"
DR.. w. NJ. Davidson, superintendent of
the Omaha schools; f. C. Bishop, the new
state superintendent of public instruction,
and e. o. Garrett of Fremont. the demo-
cratic candidate for lieutenant governor,
who was defeated by 202 votes, were the
speakers in the afternoon.
