Taft in an Address.

"Ol Wednesday forenoon We were
privileged to hear eX-Prestdent Will
liam Howard Taft in very pleasant
speech on the after-dinner order. He
made a number of humorous refer
ences to his somewhat remote connec-
ton with politics which he suggested
became very remote. The one plea
that he made was that the educational
forces of the country make a united
persistent demand for national uni
versity at Washington which mignt
be a sort of an educational clearing
house. He said that this national uni
versity was one of two things that
President Washington urged as his
parting message to the United States,
The other was that there should be
but one party.
Superintendent's Meeting.
zone Of the important meetings Of
the convention was meeting of the
superintendent of cities under twen-
ty-five thousand Inhabitants. The
subject Of this conference was, 'Voca-
tional Education in Such Sized Cities
1t became very evident that those OF
us that belonged in that class of cities
will necessarily have to look toward
our manual training and domestic sci
ence departments for our outlook in
the vocational linea In the working
out of the, vocational demands, many
schools are inaugurating the plan OF
turning over many small items of
equipment and some repairing and
construction work to the manual
training department, thus giving pu-
pills real contact with various voca-
lions and at the same time furnishing
them an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the history and litera-
ture of the vocation as well as the
theory and practice Of the same.
zone of the best sessions from the
practical school room standpoint was
proper Friday afternoon. This session
instead of closing at four o'clock
lasted until nearly six and there was
a good sized audience at its close.
This session had for it's theme, Mini
mum Essentials in the Various Ele-
mentary Branches This problem was
the result of the study of the asso-
citation for the scientific study Of edu-
cation which has been going on on
this particular theme for the past
four years, and most of the cities all
over the country have been called on
to help collect body of information
which when properly digested and ar
ranged furnished valuable handbook
for practical use in the school room
While this was the last program OF
the general convention there were
other conferences in some depart
ments lasting through Friday evening
and Saturday. One rather interesting
accompaniment Of the convention was
commercial exhibit which occupied
q large building Immediately connect
ed, with the convention hall. There
on display were to be found almost
anything in the way of school room
equipment including furniture and fix
lures of all kinds. I spent part of
one afternoon profitably employed in
there"

Superintendent Aidrich Tells School
Board About Conference Held In
Cincinnati Last
Month.
HE ATTENDED SESSIONS
Several important Ideas Were Dis
cussed by Officers Of Nations
Schools at That
Time.

report of the superintendent
meeting at Cincinnati was read to the
school board last night by Superinten-
dent William AIdrich who went to the
conference from Keokuk The report
embodied number Of the strongest
features of the convention Supertn-
tendent Aldrich, on his return, spoke
of the reception the proposition of
military training in high school had
received One speaker who was
against this form of training being
cheered to the echo by those who
heard him.
Another matter and one which Sup
erintendent Adrich emphasized in his
report was the suggestion that was
made that the best way for working
out vocational demands was to turn
over to. the manual training depart
ment some small items of equipment
and some repairing and construction
work.
Following is the superintendent
report, which the board ordered re-
ceived and filed:
Leaving Keokuk on the evening of
the Goth of February, joined the
delegations OF Iowa and Illinois or
rather Chicago and Wisconsin at Chi
cago where at ten O'clock the next
morning we left on special train for
Cincinnati. The day was spent in get
ting acquainted and discussing details
of school work of mutual interest. One

school, Mr.. Galloway, was in the dele
CATION from Sac City, Iowa.
Arrived at Cincinnati at about
seven o'clock in drizzling rain Mon
day, the 22nd, large share of the
delegates of the convention were dis
appointed in finding that Cincinnati,

Narrows View Of Life.

1.-THE speaker claimed that the very
connections upon one line of work too
early in life would tend to narrow the
whole view OF life to that one round
of duty and that any economic change
that eliminated that particular trade
would place the man at the mercy of
circumstances. He illustrated by the
story Of the little girl who frequently
fell out of bed, another little girl ex-
planned the reason by saying, She
goes to sleep too near to where she
gets in to bed Mr.. Bryant urged
everyone to have some life outside Of
his own narrow beat, as means Of es-
Gaping from automatism. He had
great faith in the life forces which
make for progress. He said 1t was
through these forces that we escaped
canabalism, and it was through these
great forces that we would escape
the great monster of war. He sug-
eested a classic education as one eco
nomic way to escape the trap Of auto
matfsm and another way was a broad
err grasp of your own vocation. He
summed up as follows: Every worthy
occupation taken in Its lowest Way Is
a trade, taken in a higher way it IS
an art, but taken in its highest way
It is a religion; and it seems to me
that we as school people can't empha-
size this thought too much, that is
any honorable occupation that We are
called upon to engage in Is worthy
putting our very best into and in that
way 1t will bring back the best to us.
