Afternoon Session
The afternoon session Of the high
school section was devoted to a discus
sion of The Relation of Latin to Prac-
teal Life. In one Of the rooms in the
domestic science building Of the high
school. Miss Ida Mcdaniel had ar
ranged an exhibit to illustrate her talk
which should be seen by every visiting
teacher whether she teaches Latin or
not Miss Mcdaniel modestly dis
claimed all originality but gave all
credit to Miss Frances Saben of Oak
Park, III. The exhibit refutes conclus-
| lively all arguments against the i'm
practiblity Of Latin. It reveals that:
! l. Latin makes English more intel
ligible
2 Latin is the foundation of the Ro-
nance languages.
3. Latin affords superior mental
training.
4. Latin is essential to an intimate
| acquaintance with art and decorative
design.
) Latin is of supreme value to the
literary mastery Of English.
6. Latin explains much of our mod
orn architecture.
:. Latin forms the terminol6yy Of
the sciences.
8. Latin contributes to the success
of all professions.
1 .. Latin adds vitality to text books
on Roman history
10. Latin makes many things about
us more interesting.
Prof James F. Hail OF the Tempe
normal followed with a splendidly writ
ten paper on the same subject making
a plea for the cultural side of Latin.
so much interest was displayed in Miss
McDaniers exhibit that it brings 70
mind the Latin saying, ''VeVrba volaFt,
scribenda manent,' Words fly, hat
what is writ remains" :.
Prof J. A. Matthews of the Temp
normal was the first speaker of the
afternoon. Prof Matthews spoke Of
the high calling of the teacher, of the
splendid schools in Arizona, Of the lib
eral amount of money spent on edu-
cation in the state and lastly, paid a
4, well deserved tribute to the unselfish
| self sacrificing life Of the rural teacher

| Value of the Trained Aesthetic Sense"
| Some people when the beautiful is
| mentioned, think of flowers, girls and
| ribbons. said the professor. That is d
mistaken notion of the beautiful. To
| n doctor a scab on a hand inoculated
| for vaccination is beautiful. But the
| real test of the beautiful is the func-
| ton or rather the functionng of g
thing. A wheelbarroW empty and I'M
| used is not beautiful, but loaded ant
| being pushed is thing of beauty. The
| professor made it very clear and ther
| proceeded and made himself the mos
| unpopular man in America by sayins
that we Americans lacked culture, ha(
no great literature and no great aren't
lecture.
II "Other things beng equal, the indi
H viduaPs value as an Industrial unit i.
equal to his appreciation of the beauti

the beautiful increase an Individual
earning capacity but prepares- him It
get more happiness out of life, AM
lastly, an appreciation for thy beauti

aim Of education. =
