After a song the meeting was ready
for another day OF earnest work. Prof.
Booth continued his talks on artnme-
tic, He said in part that some of the
teachers teach too many ways OF
working the same problem instead of
seeing how plain thy can make the
one best and safest way. Don't try
to make the work as mysterious as
possible but find good way AMI
stick to ituHtilthepupils are we'll
grounded in it, then they can work
the hard or easy problems and be
sure Of their results. expect to
teach them ahe simplest ways that
require the fewest explanations and
devote the time to working problems
not too hard problems, but ones
we'll selected for the grade. Be sure
to leave out explanations that may
tend to mystify the child.
Prof. Van Cleve, speaking on cur
rent literature asked how many Of
you when you read the big daily pa
pers, read the poetry? Do you know
that there is more good poetry and
prose being written today than ever
before and that there is greater de-
mand for good literature than ever
before? Do you try to read few OF
the best things by the greatest auth.
ors Of today, Riley Kipling, Van
Dyke Dunbar and others? Interest
your students in selecting and read.
ing some OF the best short stories
and poems. Teachers, especially in
the rural schools, must furnish the
material for some OF these readings
