Definition of Education.

To my thinking, education Is the
intcrpreta tion Of life in the terms oil

ice.

rretation should be the widest pos
sible To coufine it merely TO class

the power and purpose or great
profession from vivifying the He OF

Important Addresses.

Three important addresses were made
yesterday at the meeting OF the higher
education department, held in Barratt
hall. and they were heard by a COMPANY
of distinguished educators from all parts
OF the country the Utah delegation being
conspicuous In the audience. The firs,
address was by Edwin Boone Craighead
LII. D., D. C. L.. president Of the Uni
versity OF Montana In part Mr.. Craig
head said;
The development OF higher educa-
ton in America during the past quar-
ter of century has no parallel in
history, I'm no other country have
private citizens lavished upon uni
Versities so many millions for equip
men; and endowment. In no other
country have universities received
from state or national governments
SO many millions for maintenance,
The annual income of Columbia uni
verSity Is greater than the combined
incomes Of Oxford with her score OF
colleges-Oxford with a thousand
years behind her. the great national
sity OF Illinois, which twenty five
years ago was scarcely the equal in
income or equipment OF a firs.-clas
agricultural high school of the pres
ent day, has an annual income far
greater than that OF the great ma
tional university Of Germany, at Ber-
I'm; an income greater than that Of
tne Soroonne-in short. an Income far
the ancient and famous universities
of the old world, More money--one
may venture TO assert. The figures
are not al hand-has been spent upon
buildings and equipment for the Uni
versity OF Chicago during the past
fifteen years than has been spent
upon the buildings and equipment for
the University OF Bologne throughout
It's thousand years Of history
But, after all. vast endowments
and stately halls of granite or marble
do not make a university. a real
university is the creation Of great
men. Only in an inspiring environ
ment which lures 10 IL real scholars
and thinkers may a great university
be created or maintained. The finer
spirits OF the republic OF letters will
shun and hate the sitting atmosphere
OF a university, no matter how vast
its endowment or how splendid Its
buildings, that does not give to Its
professors a feeling Of security and Of
freedom.

Attendance Poor.

The matter OF poor attendance IS
the greatest defect in the old rural
school. The average term in the av-
erage rural school Is less than seven
months the percentage OF attendance
IS less than sixty. and the percentage
completing the eighth grade is below
twenty-five the boys falling below
ID per cent.
This means that the average coun-
try boy can hope TO complete the
eighth grade only in about seventeen
years. and then only one In seven will
complete this grade. This poor at
tendance In connection with the short
term results largely IN high rural IL
Ilteracy. urban congestion. loss OF ru-
raj national leadership. and the evils
OF child labor
The rural illiteracy is twice as high
as the urban. the urban centers are
filing rapidly with rural population.
the open country furnishes less than
N per cent OF the national leadership.
and the curse OF rural child labor
shows itself largely in the small num-
Der and small percentage of country
boys who complete the eighth grade

Conceding this. it is not strange
that the leaders OF thought in the
schooI world have long been seeking

be al once exact and expressive; that
might contain the divine fire OF edu-

General Discussion.

In a general discussion which fol

Pueblo said that he objected to the
term "sex hygiene and thought that
it should be abolished.
DR.. T. B. Beatty Of Salt Lake said
that the necessity for training in sex
matters was q certainty-the only
thing that was uncertain was the best
means to employ. He believed that
the training of teachers was too cir
cumscribed: that they as custodians
Of future generation, should have a
broader outlook IT was important,
therefore. to adopt some plan by
which teachers could be instructed to
wisely submit to their pupils things
concerning the great problems Of life.

was the conserving Of health and the
prevention of disease,
