The speaker Of the evening was Ma
than G. Schaeffer of Harrisburg, Pa.
His address. in part, follows:
On May Is, 1908, i meeting MAS held
in Washington that will materially
change if not our methods of teaching,
at least the POINT of view from which
many subjects viii hereafter be taught
III oor public schools. On that day
there were assembled in the East
room of the White House the menu
bers of the Presidents Cabinet, the
Justices of the Supreme Court, the
Governors of all the states. except two.
and leading captains of industry, like
Andrew Carnegie and James j. Hill.
For what purpose had these men
gathered from all parts of our coun-
try. 1t MAS for the purpose of dls-
cussing the waste and the conserva-
ton of our National resources. The
same subject had frequently been dis
cussed at meetings of our SCIENTIFIC
associations. but the voice Of the SCI
enlist was Ike the voice of one cry
ing i'll the wilderness. Nobody PAID
any attention to the noise which he
was trying to make. But when the
best advertised man in all the world
our then President, Theodore Roose-
welt. took up the cry. it was heard by
all the newspapers from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. 1t was heard even by
the governments of Canada and Mex
leo. And I wish to raise i'll your
minds the question: Has the School

achievements already made are due
very directly to the organized work
of your members. There is room for
much more. There are important I'M
solved educational problems in Maine.
There is the Improvement of rural ed
ucation, something that interests ev-
cry one of you whether country
teacher or not. There is the matter
of establishing minimum standards of
value of school work so that we may
more adequately give an account to
the public of the results of school
work. There is the problem of school
losses and the consequent waste of
time and money! There is the more
rapid extension of vocational, indus
trial and manual courses. There is
the more careful coordination of all
parts of our school system. There is
the more harmonious connection of
the schools with other educational
agencies, the library, the church, the
home. There is the pushing forward
of public play grounds and other sim
liar outside instruments for social ed
ucation.
1.-The teachers of Maine have shown
and all these and many more, not of
course all to be undertaken at once,
are possible of accomplishment.
Therefore l believe the association
should expend a part of its funds ev-
cry year for the organization of com
mittees to assist in answering the
questions which the people of our
state have the right to expect us at
least in part to answer.
Every Teacher a Member.
FINALLY, think every school teach!
er, superintendent. instructor and pro-.
fessor should be an active member of
this association. Whether one can
attend the annual meeting or not,
whether the program happens to pre-
sent a paper of special interest in
ones own department, this is our one
organization that reflects or should
reflect the common hopes and plans
of all of US who are in school life.
With a membership of six thousand
what might we not do? There might
be journal of proceedings; there
might be a quarterly bulletin going to
