 Value of Literature.
 Dr. Charles A. McMurry then dis cussed The Value of Literature to Teachers and Pupils"
 Taking the institute as class of boys and girls, he wished to teach. he began his instruction by re- view of yesterdays lesson. Making a diagram of New England village, as it was laid out in the primitive days. he said: Every one was com pelled to live in the settlement if he built a house at a distance from the village he was compelled to tear it down and move into the village. They were compelled to attend church. and if the young women wore too much finery they were repremand- ed. If man slept during sermon he was punched with a long stick used for that purpose.
 The spirit was thoroughly demo cratic. The villages were about the same size as the plantations of Vir- ginia.'
 Tie speaker then asked: Which would you prefer, a life of ease on the southern plantations. where you would be a gentleman of blue blood, or life in Massachusetts settlement. where you hood you'd own corn ani did ybur own work? ?"
 Different opinions were heard
 He then compared the conditions existing in New England and i.- vir- ginis. said progressich was seen on every hand in the North, fine schools, high social position, advanced agricul- sure. dsrn2crssie Civilization; while in the South there was no advance ment, although there was seen the most beautiful family life. In this manner there became two distinct di- visions in the United States until 1860. The early spirit of Massachu- sets spread over the North and de- mocracy governed that part of the country: while the spirit of aristoc- racy spread over the South. The Southern people fought like demons because they believed they were figthing for home life and defending thsr homes, which were Ideal. In this manner one can teach his tory to ones pupils, instead of dry facts and unin;eresting dates Arizona's Journal. Dr. Bolton tben spoke of the Art zona Journal of Education. He said the New England people raised corn and potatoes but they never raised children, they reared them. He said. We believed that Arizona needed a journal of education so at first we had two editions a year, now we publish five"
 pr. Wright Sounds Note. Dr. Frederick T. Wright of Doug las then disclssed Attic Treasures" His paper was so well received that a motion was passed that "Dr. wright furnish the two city pa- pers with his paper and they be asked to publish the same" Dr. Wright said that some of the instructors had stolen his thunder. but two pssis would be louder than one. that the teaching of much that was useful ike the old spinning wheel and other useful articles. had been numbered among attic treasures He said that when children leave school they must know few facts well. Their minds pass through cersain course of training and one ex- pscts certain results Are ve getting thoss results? Do they know any one thing well? He quoted different au thorities to substantiate his statement that there is . lack of accuracy, de 1ciency in the training of children Too much time is spent on too many subjects- The three Rs of antiquity !. have bssn pushed back into the cor ners. and music. art and nature s<ndy have taken :aeir place.
