EDUCATIONAL.
(By Jos. w. Voboril.)

The institute, held at the Training
School Rooms on December Sth, was
one of the most successful as we'll as
the best attended sectionl meeting of
the M. G. T. A. ever held in the coun-
ty. Fully 80 teachers and over 25
Training School students were present.
Miss Nelson of the Training School
led the singing and directed the games
and songs by the Training School stu
dents.
Professor Clinton NJ. Barr of Mil
waukee Normal took up the Socialized
Recitation. He first emphasized that
the Socialized Recitation is on ly part
OF the great socializing movement in
this country. The same movement is
going on In law, in the industries, and
In the church. Mr.. Barr thinks that
the pupils should be given the oppor.
tunlty to develop their imagination,
their initiative, their sense Of respon-
sibility, and their courage by giving
them every chance to express them
selves in the recitation. he condemns
the question and answer method, es.
pecially If the teacher does all the
questioning, as desdening to the de-
velopment Of the qualities mentioned
above.
His main point in his talk on reading
was that silent reading was, by far,
more important than oral reading and
should be encouraged by placing be-
fore the pupils much interesting read
ing material. Too much oral reading
kills the love of reading which we
wish to develop in childi en-. Like
wise, oral reading is very slow.
