 After Dr. sseSiGEsay's talk a short intermission was given.
 Seek the Motive.
 Prof James s. Hosic then spoke of Mot walton for English" the teacher should see life as the child sees it. First he must have the child focus its attention upon the subject; and the teacher must awaken in the child an interest in the subject. Motiva- tion is setting up in the child's mind high ideals. One teaches oral and VT tten composition in the schools. There Is no trouble to have children express themselves fully on the playground, but it is difficult to do so in the school room, because the child knows 1t is telling the teacher something that the teacher already knows. The children know many facts that are not familiar to the teacher. If one would have the child tell something the teacher does not know, how interested that child would be.
 The children take much pleasure in read ng the school paper and seeing the work done by one of their own number, it means so much more to them than reading the work of John Ruskin, because their school mate is some one they know. Mottv- ation is absolutely essential. Speaks on Literature. After another short intermission Dr. Thaddeus L. Bolton Of the Tempe Normal school discussed Psychology of Literature" He began by telling several humorous stories and then said ''The nature of literature has been pretty we'll felt, it is thing cf human interest, it holds one under spell, 1t appeals to people. When one makes the discovery of what ap- peals to people in literature one 
 has learned its psychology. One method is to study Bryant's Thana- topsis, the life Of the author, and read selections in turn. The second method is for pupils to read in turn as before, and to have a description of characters as they are gone over. Questions are then asked about eanh character, and perhaps the beauty of pupil may grow mentally, but this is not study of literature.
 A third method is going into litera- ture and studying out what is really literature.
 In the qualifications of the mind and the heart of man depend his success fin life. All literature is about social institut 'ons. the social conflicts of one man with another. The themes of literature are about the struggles of man; the seas are deep and turbulent, the rivers the boundaries of land, and the desert hard to subdue, so many words oi value in our literature come from the conflicts with the works of na ture.
 lear"ina Numbers The last speaker on the afternoon 2 program was Prof. Holm, from tho Arizona Normal school at Flagstaff who discussed How to Teach Arith metic as Outlined in the Course oi Study" In first grades children ge ionly an idea of the number.
 In second grade, the children mus develop the number from one to twen lty and learn numbers In groups a: iwholes. Have the little ones use ob jects in teaching numbers. The child is not capable of much reason ling power, but can solve little prob lens teaching the four processes. He must be taught to know the results in addition as quickly as those if multiplication.
 This concluded the program for the urEt Qdy SC5blOH.
 This week when so many charming young women and handsome men have invaded the city, all concede themselves to be the humble subjects of the visitors and the doors of all homes have been thrown open for their entertainment.
