WAS WELL RECEIVED

The Glsnwood Springs tesehsss en-
tertainsd the visiting teachers in =
most hospitsble manner last Saturday.
Exhibitions were given in all depart
nents including music, domestic Sci
enee, physical culture, art, and work
from all the grades. In the evening
all the home teachers esvs . dinner
which was prepared BY the senior sosA
ing class and served by the freshmen
girls.
One of the features Of the day wa.
the address by Superintendent Under
wood on "The Teacher from the Super
intendent Point of View Mr.. Ua-
derwood began by telling the teachers
that if he were to talk about them.
they were \ subject as broad and deep
as the sea, whose breadth he could Iot
cover, and whose depths he could not
reach, but he might be able to exhaust
them before he got through.
After a humorous dissertation on the
smile that wont come off, he spoke at
length of the Indifferent teacher, the
careless teacher, the over scientific
teacher, the unprogressive teacher, the
teacher with a Crouch, and the teacher
who is earnest, conscientious, patient
and true.
In speaking of the harm done by the
careless teacher, Mr. Underwood ex-
planned the experiments on the infis-
ence ones physical environments have
upon the nervous system, which have
recently been performed in Russia
These experiments are very complex
and have proven beyond a doubt that
the nervous system is extremely sens
tive to the physical condition Of ones
immediate surroundings. A picture
hanging out of plumb in dining room
will cause decrease in the activity
of the salivary glands Of those who are
eating. More saliva will be secreted
if clean white cloth is on the table
than when the table is bare and dis
orderly There is more salivary action
when a single good picture is hung in
the dining room than when the walls
are bare, and the digestive organs all
work better when the furniture OF a
room is in order than when in disorder.
People are known to have been cured
of nervous prostration by taking Their,
from a room in which the colore are
gaudy and placing them in one where
. the colors are harmoniously Arranged
! "The over scientific teacher is I
victim of the pedagogical fraternity o.
spasmodic fad producers whose imprae
ticable theories are tried on the schools
at the expense of the taxpayers mon
ey and the children S time. These fad.
are like women's styles in that the
teacher is considered behind the times
this year if she is not trying them on
and the next year i. out of date if snc
; has not found them snworkable AND
discarded them for something else. The
world is heralding great teacher who
has the best way ever discovered 70,
educating our children, and w.. we
come to study her wonderful Noates
sori method We find it merely . reeurn
to the common sense prisciples Of ped
