and science is the result of untold
thought on the part of the worlds
educators, and that there could be q
possibility of the modern manual
branches degenerating into a mass
OF details that would be TO the
chlId source of perhaps to some ex.
tent practical benefit, yet not pre-.
pairing for the broader and compre.
nenslVe development that has for so

among the most valuable features
| OF the convention were the displays
illustrating the progress of the var
lous grades and departments of the
Cllfton schools, these displays en-
| bracing all the work of the students
J beginning at the primary grades and
continuing to the most advanced
grades of the high school Drawing
and allied courses, showing the
proficiency of the little folk: adj
vancement of the intermediate grades
in the common branches: and the re-
suits obtained in the high school
/ grades in all the departments of that
portion of the city's schools; these
EN- bracing very commendable com
positions in English, and especially
| OF the displays of the manual train
ing and domestic science departments
| of the high school, were among the
most attractive features of the dis
plays
Very pleasurable, and intermingled
among the more weighty addresses of
the convention, were the many must
cal and literary numbers under the
direction of a committee serving for
this purpose. Miss Joy ably directed
the musical features, thus demon
strating the results of her guidance
of the musical department of the
city's schools. Solos and chorus Sc
+lections all united in making the
proceedings of the convention very
pleasurable indeed. Folk dances
were illustrated under the direction
of the teachers of the various grades,
these features being rendered by the
young pupils of the Clifton schools,
and demonstrated the splendid degree
of system and symmetry in which
the careful training of the teachers
of the primary departments have
resulted.
Educators Enjoy Dance at Princess.
AS a elimination to the many
pleasurable features of the Institute
was the happy dance held at the
Princess on the evening of Wednes-
day, January Z, in honor of the visit
ing educators. Under the direction
of the committee on entertainment,
at the head of which was Mrs. Sam
Spann, all preparations were made
for an occasion that would make of
their week S stay in Clifton a pleas
ing recollection to the many teachers
of the county, and the expectations
of those in charge was fully sustain
ed
Adam s orchestra furnished many
enhancing numbers that were accom-
panied by the dancing of an assem-
blage that was truly representative
of the educational and social life of
the county, every district and COM
munity of the county being represent
ed by its educators, while Clifton and
Morenci society folk participated in
the pleasures. Not until the hour of
the following morning did the large
attendance bid to the pleasures of the
evening a fond farewell.
Refreshments were literally served
throughout the evning. The teach
ers of the neighboring towns unite
in expressing appreciation to those in
charge of the entertainment, and to
those who assisted to the success of
the occasion.
