It was remarked throughout the e,
tire session how all the speakers lei
the realm of the purely speculative an
theoretical and got down to the ever.
! day problems of what is best to teac

The delegates are unbounded in e:
pressing their appreciation of all the

q tical lines suggested by every numb'
