He has made u careful study of the mines and geological formation in the vicinity with special reference to comparison with conditions obtaining in Siberia. where he has spent the last two years in exploration. Mir. Tomachov has been especially interested in our meth cd of mining in frozen ground as it was new to him not being used in Siberia.

new; that ii has been done for years
with wonderful success in England and
some of the best American schools
such as Groton. The teachers evincec
much interest in the idea, as did the
superintendent and normal school
principals. 1t is possible that it may
be tried throughout the State in the
near future.
Miss Hale spoke at the afternoon ses-
sion on "How the Rural Teacher May
Use Her Advantages to Best Profit" The
rural school teacher can make the
school room the social center of the viii
lage; she can become we'll acquainted
with the parents, and can be a wonderful
force for good in the community if she
will take advantage of her opportunity.
State Supt. of Schools Payson Smith
addressed the secondary school depart
ment on the problems that confront the
secondary schools. He urged that the
methods of promoting the pupils should
be made more like that of the Grammar
schools, which promote the pupils on ac-
count of general ability rather than
marks from a specific examination. Supt.
Smith condemned the High school frater-
mites. but said that the fault lay with
the teachers in not supplying societies
that are legitimate, and he recommended
debating. proper athletics, literary and
other similar organizations to the teach
ers to fill in the place of the pernicious
fraternities.
DIR. j. S Norton, superintendent of the

spoke at the rural school session in the

schools he urged that different stand
ard of education be adopted between the
city and rural schools. He believed that
the country pupil, early in his career
should be taught nature study, and ele-
mentary agriculture later on. He would
bring to each pupil knowledge of the
work by which he is to gain livelihood !:
