General Association
At 2:15 p. m. Thursday, Pres. freo
e. Smith called the second days ses'
sion of the General Association of the
N. ID. E. A. to order. The hall OF the
House of Representatives was filled
with large number of delegates and
visitors interested in the educational
welfare of the state. The invocation
was delivered by DR.. A. Lincoln Srute,
pastor of the McCabe Methodist
Church.
Musical Selections.
Miss Flora Harlan, of Mandan, then
favored the association with a piano
solo which was very heartily applaud
ed. Following the instrumental selec-
ton, Mrs. V. J. LaRose, of Bismarck,
sang a very beautiful vocal number.
Mrs LaRose is possessed of a wonder
fully sweet voice and her song was
a rare treat for those assembled, who
thoroughly appreciated it.
Dr.. Cook Introduced.
President Smith then introduced
DR.. John w. Cook, president of the
Northern State Normal School, OF De-
Kalb, III. DR.. Cook is a speaker OF
national prominence, and is a director
of the National Educationl Associa-
ton. He held his listeners spell-bound
and the numerous apt illustrations
which he used during the course OF
his address kept the delegates con-
vulsed with laughter. DR.. Cooks
theme, as announced on the program,
was "A neglected Factor and he
said in brief:
Cooke Lecture in Brief
Were | minister and were going
to choose a text, l would take this
thought for my theme Where there
is no vision the people perish am
going to talk to you this afternoon
on the imagination. l am going to
speak more on that which relates to
the points of contact between teacher
and pupil. The real educational work
takes place in the school room, and
in consequence there is certain vital
relation between the person called the
teacher and the person called the pu-
pill.
"Dr. Charles Elliott, president Of the
National Educational Association, in
his annual address gave new defin-
ition of education. And President FL
liott made the imagination the center
of interest in his remarks.
What, then, is the imagination?
DR.. Dewey, I think, has given the best
definition. The imagination is that
form of the intellect which embodies
the idea in form or image An image
is that clear response of the mind to
the certain stimulation of the senses
so that the senses are involved.
Kinds Of Images.
some people In1nk lndC Lnere are
only one kind of images-the visual.
We know that the mind is filled with
visual images, if we have eyes and
nave always had them. But then we
nave other images.
First, we have auditory images.
low many of us can recall to memory
some sweet song that we have heard
n years gone by? Then we have
images of taste. We all must have
power in recalling the
ense of taste. How about the touch
images? The best example of these
re to be found among the blind. To
he blind the world is a raised world
hey read and write by means of
aised letters. Their world is raised
nd they live in it. The sense of
NELL is another to be considered.
'hese are all of them the workings Of
he imagination.
Imagination In the Schoolroom
How may the Imagination be used
/ the school room? l Will touch up.
