Various Methods Used in Teaching
Children to Read" was the subject dis
cussed by Miss Schaelfer In introduc-
ing her subject, she spoke of the i'm
portance Of medical inspection in the
schools as many children have ply
sical defects which are retarding them
in their work and which should be
remedied
She said that there are three import
ant factors to be considered in teach
ing reading: Motive, material and
method. A child must be given some
motive for learning to read If he makes
much progress in the work; the teach
er must have certain amount Of ma
torial with which to work in order to
interest the child and she should strive
to use the best method in the use of
this material and in awakening the
interest OF the child.
DR.. Mcmillan continued the talk
which he had started on Monday alter
noon on Teaching the Formal Sub
jects.'' He spoke especially of the
drill exercises which are necessary in
these subjects. He gave incidents OF
work which are necessary in these
subjects. He gave incidents of work
of this kind that is waste of time and
told how these exercises may be con-
Quoted so as to make them the most
effective with the least expenditure OF
time and energy.

reaching the Formal Subjects"
was the subject of Dean Mcmillan s
talk. lie said that much valuable time
is wasted and many mistakes made
from the fact that these studies are
commonly supposed to be memory
studies and that practice is the all.im-
portant thing in teaching them, but
the goal in teaching all formal sub
Jects should be the power that the pu-
Pill gains from study of the subject.
lie said pupils should be given the
power to read rather than be taught to
pronounce lists of words. He also said
that II the child is given some motive
for doing his work it will be done
more easily and quickly. In testing
Tor power in the formal subjects a
time limit should be set as this is an
important factor in the test.
Miss Schaeffer then spoke. her sub
ject being Elementary School Prob
lens Aired and Defined" She first dis.
cussed the material difficulties which
are met with in most schools. such as
overcrowded rooms, unsuitable furni.
ture. lack of proper equipment and the
like. ..
The organization of the school is
another serious problem to be solved"
said Miss Schaeffer. IF it is too rigid,
many children will suffer as conse.
quence. There should be more fiexibil
ity in promotions and some provision
should be made for the sub-normal
child whereby he can be given spec
ial help and attention.

Mcmillan will give an address on Sci
