Hon. P. P. Claxton, United States
commissioner Of education, facetiously
declared that the school teachers OF

band Of "hoboes and tramps."
This Introductory assertion pre-
.ceded his earnest plea for the teach
ers Of North Carolina to teach in
the native communities in order that
they familiarize themselves with the
past experience of the child prior to
entering school. DR.. Claxton outlined
these three steps for the teachers to
follow in their respective schools, iii st
recognize native capacity of child;
second, use child's experience prior to
entering school; third, develop child
along lines touching life after leav
ing school.
The third week, ending today. has
been week brim full Of events Of

state that have gathered here to
further the cause OF universal edu-
cation. On Tuesday and Wednes-
