less the result of the fact that the par
cnts were not taught right. The result
that when the boy or girl is thrown
upon their own resources, they fall
down. thus urge upon you to teach
1t is important that they learn how to
work
1--WE must not, however, teacn them
or permit them to gain the idea that
money is all or everything. There are
other things and ideals which are much
higher in this life. Let these be well
grounded in the boy and girl and the
future of this great country is assured
ly safe in their hands. 1t is yours,
therefore, to do a great and noble work.
If the higher ideals are driven home
to the boy or girl, you will know that
You have not lived in vain.''
After Mayor Drach's address Miss
Mayme Ogle of the Carbondale schools
read very interesting paper on ''The
Teaching of Language.
After this Miss Altman of the Glen
wood schools introduced class in
music. This number proved very inter
esting and was greatly enjoyed by all.
"The Uniform Course in Our High
cusson which was interesting and
helpful.
''Physics in the School, was treated
in very interesting and practical pa
per by Prof. Robson of the Carbondale
schools This paper won for Mr.. Rob
ison many compliments. H. Z. Huber
of the Garfield County High school led
the discussion on this subject.
The afternoon was started by very
interesting paper by Mrs. Smith of the
Glenwood schools on why Industrial
Education in Our Curriculum?' This
is subject which has heretofore had
altogether too little attention and for
this reason Mrs. Smiths excellent pa
per was received with more than ordin-
AIRY interest.
Another number that held the close
attention of all the teachers and Wis
itors was the address of Prof. Ans
poker of the New Castle schools on
- Our Schools in the Philippines Nj.
Amspoker was one of the government
teachers sent to the Philippines to
train native teachers and establish
schools as a part of the insuiar govern
mcnt in behalf of the native children
1t was very interesting to hear INN
tell of the progress made by the chit
dren of the islands under disadvantages
which would seem insurmountable IN
this country. Mr.. Amspoker spent three
years in the Philippines and in that
time he travelled much over the islands
and ON the question of self government
he has this to say: "History does not
point to "A single tropical people VINO
are capable of self government and 1
am Just pessimistic enough to predict
that the Philippines will not furnish us
with an exception to the rule
There was also an interesting paper
by Prof. Ruple of the Grand Valley
schools on 'English in the Eighth and
Ninth Grades
The afternoon program was to have
been closed by an address by Mrs.
Catherine Cook. state superintendent of
public instruction, but in Mrs. Cooks
absence she was represented by her
able deputy, Miss Eva Carpenter.
Whether Mrs. Cook was absent because
she wanted to have said at this meet
ing the things she would have been
precluded from saying in er own behalf,
but which found easy utterance, was
not explained to the teachers present.
