school house mind and intellect reigned
supreme
The first address of the forenoon was
delivered by State Superintendent of
Public instruction, G. O. Case. Prof
Case thanked the teachers for the sup
port they gave him in the recent cleo
ton and hoped that by opposing wo-
man he did not in any way say or do
anything against noble Womanhood.
Prof. case announced himself in favor
of several reforms and hoped that in
this he would receive the support of the
body of teachers. AS long as he did
his part and the teachers did theirs. no
apprehension need be felt for the
schools Of Arizona. Prof. Case attacked
the ccrufication laws that prevail in
the state. He said that the life certi-
ficates of Arizona do not mean much.
Prof case spoke of the lack of bust
ness methods in the handling of financ-
IS and accounts of the schools Several
counties have not yet sent in their re-
ports.
The chief address of the forenoon was
delivered by Prof w. H. Mace on

the pupils. "They labor long and hard
over a page, but the mind remains a
blank" He also brought out that the OBJ
ject Of the sciences was not to bring
to the attention of the pupil fact, but
teach him to think clearly and to know
when he does think clearly. He too
was fer sending out an S. o. S. to the
grade teachers to prepare the pupils
better in arithmetic and English so
they may be ready to take science in the
high school intelligently.
When the subject was thrown open
for discussion. Edgar Thompson wanted
to know if the unpreparedness of the
grade pupils in arithmetic ana English
was not due to the fact that manual
training and domestic science did not
divert the attention of the grade pupils
from the rudimentary subjects. The
question was not fully answered. Prof.
Jones of the Phoenix union high school
took up the budgets in favor of general
science because it better prepared the
students to continue with physics and

In the first, second and third grades
the story should be oral. In the higher

It's truly astonishing how quickly IL

IL also stops the formation of phieRm in
