gathering Of teachers ever held in Wis

be city for teachers only" The
crowd of attendants this year is ex-
pected to be larger than ever before.
While the Wisconsin association has
always provided a progressive program
at its annual convention, the sessions
this time are to be filed with list of
numbers more than usually brilliant
The convention is to be unique in
point of its progressive attitude. Con
ferences will be held for the discussion
of special education, agriculture and
moral education, beside the customary
branches.
The Wisconsin tendency toward an
education practical in teaching the pu-
pill to work for himself, rely on his
own intellect and make in his common
school career foundation for his pro-
fession, will be emphasized. Each sub
ject discussed will be severely assailed
from the standpoint of it's practicable
ity. Even the teaching of the classic
languages viii be discussed from this
standpoint
Noted Men to Speak.
Another remarkable movement in
education will be reflected by this CON
vention-the modern tendency toward
educating the individual rather than
the class. The practical psychology of
the child viii be thoroughly discussed
by those who have been studying and
observing it.
In word, the 1913 convention of the
Wisconsin Teachers association will he
q reflector for all the modern tenden-
cies in education, as evolved by the
greatest educators in Wisconsin and the
patton at large.
