SESSION IF THE ARIZONA
 TEACHERS OF BIG VALUE

Dr. Wright voiced the exact senti- ment of the majority of the teachers. They are forced to teach too many things, not to teach them but to ram it in and jam it in.
 Value of story.
 After intermission Prof. James s. Hosic continued his talk on "The Value of the Story" He said one rust look behind a story and see the significance, must be able to in terpret the value of the story. The practical values of story are great. A child absorbs story, it hears a story and reFeats it in its own la1. guage. The pronunciation of a word will come to the child through the medium of the ear. By hearing teacher speak well, and read well the pupils learn the melodies of speech.
 One goes to church to hear a ser mon, to banquet to listen to the toasts. 10 political meeting to hear politics discussed, and what is it makes one listen intently to collect ones wandering thoughts? Why, the recital of story.
 In teaching. one must choose not only a good story, adapted to the age of the child. Of all books used in the telling of stories The Folk. Lore" is the best. A story is logical and one must see each thought step by step, it must include simplicity. sincerity and obiectiveness.
 Hygiene in Schools. The last speaker on the mornings program was Edward s. Godfrey. su- perintendent of public health of Phoenix, who discussed The Medical Inspection of Schools"
 He said most of the i'll health in Arizona schools is among Mexican children. They live in hove and are i'll fed and poorly clad. Their parents know little of preparing food and for this r-ason domestic science is valuable in the teaching of Mexi- can children, American girls have an opportunity to learn this branch in their homes, but sad to say many girls do not want to lear it One has the grandssst opportunity to dem- onstrate the value of medical inspec- ton in the schools, to use the means to prolong life and rid the country Of the foe of tuberculosis. Here is wonderful climate and everything conducive to good health, also the mistakes of other states, by which 1t can profit.
