the American people, many OF whom
have perversely misinterpreted his Ell
forts and have tried TO discredit his di-
plomaey 1t was evident at the time of
the fall of the Asquith ministry in Great
Britain and the rise of Premier Lloyd
George to power that the war threatened
to enter new phase in the year 1917,
under conditions of increasing embarrass-
ment and difficulty for neutrals.
Germany's original peace proposal in
December was distinct notification to
the world of Germany's purpose to avail
herself of all possible means of defense
and offense, in case the proposal was re-
jeeted by her enemies. The president
rightly followed Germany's offer to enter
a conference with an appeal to the two
alliances to seek an understanding as to
their war aims, for he was the recently
elected chief magistrate of a people
whose predominant desire had been
shown at the ballot box to be for the
maintenance of peace on the part of their
own government. Secretary Lansing's
unguarded statement that the presidents
first peace note was due to the fact that
this country was rapidly drifting to-
Ndiu Int NtiSt vi wal IN hoN stCH Dt-
yond all dispute to have been correct
estimate of the situation.
The presidents extraordinary address
to the Senate was his second great effort
to promote peace, and if among his mo-
tives was that of saving the United
States from possible participation in the
war by giving a new turn to the popular
thought and popular discussion in the
belligerent countries-opening the door
to further diplomatic exchanges-he was
not betraying his high obligations as an
American president. The hope that aft
er extorting from the entente powers
fairly definite avowal of their war aims,
he might extort from the central powers
also an avowal equally definite, is now
disappointed, yet Mr.. Wilson's efforts in
that direction must now be accounted
doubly fortunate.
In all respects, indeed, the presidents
labors for the promotion of peace this
memorable winter have been enormously
to the moral advantage of the United
States. He has proved to Germany no
less than to the world that Americas de- !
sire for peace was sincere; he has wholly
prevented Germany from pointing an ac-
cusing finger toward America, Mt the mo-
ment unrestricted submarine warfare Is
proclaimed, as being directly or indirect
ly in league with the enemies of the cen
trail powers; and finally, he has proved
to all sections of the American people,
however pacifst in their temper they
might be, that, come what may, their
government has exhausted its resources
in the endeavor to preserve an honorable
peace for the republic.-Springfeld Re-

peler high school led conference on
high school English' conference in
which most of the high school English
teachers participated. DR.. Hillegas spoke
briefly on spelling and laid stress on some
of the latter-day ideas in spelling in
struction. High school and grade teach
ers took part in spirited discussion.
The conferences on arithmetic were in
charge OF Principal Bessie B. Goodrich of
the johnson school and Supt. H. S. Read
of the Richmond schools.

the teacher pencil tardy mark against
! his name and falls victim to the care
| less habit of hardness. Later in his life
| he is shown in the role of the man who,
always late finds that the world has no
place for him and finally comes to an
| ANONYMOUS end. In contrast to the boy
who is always late, is the punctual stu
dent, who arrives on the schoolgrounds
few moments early every day. In after
| life he is represented as the business
man who practices punctuality in every
appointment and ultimately lands one of
the $4,000 jobs that sometimes go a-beg-
ging because the intelligence market is
short on the kind of man wanted.
The second picture shown was scena-
rio history of the textile industry in the
United States. Uncle Sam is represent
ed as the kindly old gentleman who has
outgrown his homespuns and is relying
entirely upon the manufactures and pro-
dueers of this and other nations to clothe
him. 1t is doubtful if the average per-
son has any adequate conception of the
magnitude of the textile industry, but
the movie version of it's inception and
wonderful growth is wholly convincing
and probably nothing short of an actual
inspection tour win convey to the ordi-
nary individual an idea of its place in
American industrial life.
Boy and Girl Club Projects.
Owing to the absence of C. NJ. Hill
state superintendent of junior high
schools, the afternoon conferences devot
ed to the work OF the junior high schools
were, for the most part, omitted. Supt.
Hill is detained at home by illness, and
many expressions of regret were ex-
pressed over his enforced absence. Mr..
Hill was to have led the conference on
boys and girls club projects, and in his
absence Commissioner Hillegas spoke
briefly. He gave it as his opinion that
the club idea has a fixed place in the !
curriculum of Vermont schools and pre-
scented some of the problems anent their
in an interesting light.
First and last the commissioner is for
work of this kind among the /
boys and girls throughout the school
year. 1t seems that in some instances
there has been disposition to foster
interest in the club projects principally
on the eve of exhibits or fairs. Usually
This is done with view to encouraging
children to compete for prizes. More
often it has developed that the boy who
hastily constructed crude chair and
won prize because he was the only ex-
libitor in the chair class has had an I'M
air advantage over boys in other schools
Who have achieved something tangible in
he way of results. He urged that exhib-
IS and fairs place a premium on the
L.
las been instrumental in clapboarding
he school building or replacing the out /
worm entrance with set of substantial a
ement steps. In touching upon various I
,hases of club work, he emphasized y
trongly the value of encouraging boys h
nd girls to seek to attain practical ends
n their work. c

/ students, the speaker admonished his
ends of education, he said, is to help the
| boy ito know what there is within him
and then to ascertain what there is with
out him." In the first instance, the
child should be assisted in his task of
lascertaining just how far his tastes, his
talents and his capacity may carry him
and in the second instance. he should
learn of the opportunities that may be
improved through the exercise of his
talents.
Commissioner Smith urged the advisa-
tility of rating children according to
their capacity. "Give the child some.
thing that he can do and then see that
he does it," was the speakers advice
and if the rulelwere enforced, radical as it
may be, OF placing apremium on individual
capacity. our school children would get
away from the deadly habit of failure.
ave are thinking too much in the terms
of the group" the speaker continued,
"and until we can get away from it,
some OF the most important problems
confronting us viii remain unsolved, Our
big defect is revealed while we are try
ing to rate children on a basis that is
artificial. We must think in the terms
of the individual We must have indi-
yidual instruction and there must be
maximum and minimum assignments"
Continuing, the commissioner urged
his hearers to subordinate interest in the
subject to interest n the child and place
the emphass on the knowledge of the
child Much of the unrest in the schools,
he thought, may be eradicated, if par
ents, teachers and children alike are
brought to realize that the essential
thing in education is to develop the in
dividual Mr. Smith elaborated his adj
dress with variety of apt stories and
in a few instances told of his personal
experiences while superintendent of
schools in Auburn, Me, later as commits
,ioner of education in Maine and then in
In closing, he said that teachers should
not make the mistake of expecting mis-
chief from the children and counseled
them to look for the good that may be
developed in every child that registers in
The school. II should be the most impor-
tant function of the teacher to help,

A few hours after the very elaborate

heard to whisper in an awed voice:
''AIarie's got the prettiest clothes, all
right, but I've got the strongest stOm-

Lessons Taught by Movie Films.

Not the least instructive feature OF the
conference was the moving picture enter
tainment in the assembly hall last even
ing. when the Atlas Educational Project
or Co. presented the jerks and McMurry
educational films. Two films OF unques-
toned educational value made up the
program, and probably most Of the
teachers present possess to-day for the
first time comprehensive working idea
of the magnitude of the watch making
and textile industries in the United
States. The Atlas company's representa-
tives screened the films without erecting
d booth and for the reason that the
material used in the films is absolutely
non-inflammable.
''The Watch Habit" might well be as
signed as a title for the first picture
shown, inasmuch as the protector Sought
To impress lesson of moral as well as
educational value. Punctuality was en-
phasized in nearly every foot of the film.
First, the spectators were taken to one
of the larger watch manufactures and
there shown the multitudinous details
that enter into the work of producing a
modern pocket timepieee. The film was
so projected as to permit the onlookers
to examine almost infinitely the making
OF the veriest piece of mechanism in a
watch. Workers at their tasks were de-
picted plainly, and one turned away
from the screen as the film unwound
with new comprehension of the watch
industry.
Emphasizing a moral lesson, the film
depicted the lad who tarries on his way
