PRESENT SYSTEM
To BE DEFENDED
Dr.. Coffman to Discuss Teach
ing Methods at Institute
This Afternoon.

All OF the time of the session Of
the St. Joseph County Teachers insti-
tute at the high school this morning
was taken up with lectures in arith-
metic by DR.. L. d. Coffman. dean OF
the schobl of education Of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, and DR.. w. A. Jes-
sup, dean Of the school of education
Of the University Of Iowa The same
speakers are on the afternoon pro-
gram.
DR.. Coffman's morning subject was
The Minimum Essentials of Arithme-
tic" which was of particular interest
TO the grade school teachers. He
brought out the idea that If a child is
backward in his work at the beginning
he is apt TO continue that way
throughout his time in school, while
the same fact exists if the child is
brilliant. He said that some teach
ers devote more time to this subject
than others and that extra instruc-
ton in arithmetic was well worth
while.
Or. Jessup discussed Economy of
Time in Arithmetic" following along
the lines of his Introductory address
Friday. He said that just as there
can be economy and efficiency in bus
mess, farming and other lines. there
can be economy and efficiency in
teaching any branch Of education. He
used several different outlines and
sets of figures showing how these ends
can be accomplished in arithmetic.
Educators who favor the old meth
DDS of teaching, eliminating manual
training, gardening, domestic science
and other modern courses, will eb
scored by DR.. COffman in his talk this
afternoon. According to this we'll
known educat2r. there are many in
structOrs who want to go back to the
old system with its narrow courses.
The annual meeting of the associ-
alton will be continued as it has been
for the past few years, with a two
day session the first week in Novem-
Der. although efforts were made to
abandon ii at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee Friday afternoon. 1t
was suggested that instead Of one two
day meeting, two One-day sessions be
held.
Officers that have served the asso-
citation during the past year were re-
elected, as were the members of tn
program committee. They are as fol-
lows: r. II. Longfeld, chairman;
John A. Byers, treasurer and red
A. Hite, secretary. Member of the
program committee are L. j. Mont
gomery, j. +. Nuner of AIishawaka,
and Ralph II. Longfield. All super
intendents and principals in the
county are members Of this commit
tee

GOSHEN RESCUE WORKERS
NO CONNECTION WITH S. A.

Representatives Of the Samaritan
rescue workers OF Goshen were in the
city Friday soliciting funds 70 carry
On their work. AS their costumes are
very similar TO those worn by mem
bers OF the Salvation Army. Ensign
Q. <. Hart OF the local branch OF the
latter organization wishes 70 state
that the funds collected by these visi-
tors do not go TO the Army. although
many givers have told the ensign that
when they contributed 10 the Goshen
rescue workers they believed they
were giving TO the local Salvationists.
Ensign Hart will do all the soliciting
himself at the present time for local
charity which comes under the eye
of the Army in Mishawaka He is
DESTROYS OF removing the impression
that the Goshen organization has any
c connection with the army.

MRS. B. B. CRAZE HAS
PRAISE FOR MISHAWhKA
Thinks City Deserves Much
Credit for Solving Water
Supply Question.

Mrs Caroline Bartlett Crane Of
Kalamazoo. Mich, VINO Tor the past
thee days has been conducting a sur
Vey of sanitary and hygie1ic condi-
tions in Mishawaka under the aus
pices OF the WOman's club, gave re-
port Of her findings before large
audience in the high school auditor
FUN Friday night
She gave the city much praise in
general manner, speaking IN mgh
terms OF city administrative activities
in the past and also the present, es-
pecially mentioning the $4,000 bond
issued three years ago to solve
AIishawaka's biggest problem, that OF
n pure water supply
In this regard she said that the
city should certainly be proud of the
work that had been accomplished,
irrespective Of the many and great
difficulties with which the officials
have met
Her advice TO the residents and
water takers as we'll as TO the city
officials was to insist on a discontinue
ton Of private wells after the city
supply had been prepared by proper
authorities. She added that private
wells will be an Increased menace
after the city supply is in use, as in
many cases residents Will convert
their wells into cesspOOls for the dis
posal OF garbage.
Another feature Of the water sup
ply discussed by Mrs. crane was an
adequate supply in the case Of big
fire and advised that a large storage
tank be constructed 50 that it will
never be necessary again to pump
river water through the mains and
thus reopen a great danger now
about 10 be eliminated. She also
spoke highly Of the metering system
adopted here. because Of the great
saving in water.
The speaker laid great stress on
the importance Of a good sewerage
system and sisted that il was untor-
tunate that the connective system OF
sewerage disposal was in use here.
She added that she hoped that in the
future the extension of the sewerage
system would be followed along mod
ern lines.
Much credit was given Mishawaka
for its good system of garbage dis
posal. 'Tts method Of collections is
very good" said the speaker, but 1t
should be more generally used by the
residents" She also made some val
liable suggestions for the disposal or
garbage and waste.
The city milk supply came in for n
long discussion by the speaker. in
which she stated that an ordinance
should be adopted by the common
council which demanded that all milk
dealers and producers handle the milk
supply in an efficient, sanitary man
ner.
Mrs Crane closed her remarks by
making severe criticisms of the Main
school building on y. Hill ST, speak
ing Of the inef6ciency Of such an old
building for school purposes. she
paid a compliment TO the school Of
ficials for the fine high school build
ing and it's arrangement.
