A GREAT SPEECH on TEACHING

J have Just read remarkable
speech. Once in a blue moon you
find one. This one contained neither
buncombe nor bromide.
n was by a school teacher named
Hluiz. and gave his ideas on teach.
ing. n was 30 good that John ~.
Patterson had II printed az an ad.

bad idea. There have been enough
schools In mausoleums.
Hlutz's speech was made Ia
school teacher: that is 10 say, when
he got thru you knew what he had
been talking about. lie made seven
points. each OF which was sharp. II
made you think. because IL WAS

a good job when see II.
Here are his seven points. every
one q dum-dum:
1. The school ought TO develop
individuality rather than conform
ny. How pleased we are when our
children learn 20 conform, Yet the
whole hope Of amounting 20 any
thing Is based on their non conform
ing power.
?. The school should develop op-
tlmlsm. This Is the best American
Characteristic. the blithe courage to
tackle anything. the specializing In
the impossible.
3. The school ought 10 teach how
TO play. Nine.tenths OF all boy or
girl learns comes by play.
{. The school should encourage
many.aidedness. There Is a democ-
mcy also In ideas. In a land OF
specialists the all-around man is
king.
s. The school should develop bush

TIE PRESENT POPULATION FIG
ERFS ARE NOT FINAL

Washington, D.. c., March 10
So many inquiries relating to the
Fourteenth Census population fig
ures. now being made public by the
Census Bureau. have been received
from publishers of almanacs, schoo!
books. aliases and other publications
intended for permanent records that
Sam. /. Rogers, Director of the
Cslsus. mas issued a ;ta:cmcnt
pointing out that the figTres now
ctino given out are but preliminary
anl are subject TO correc.i,n.
The population figures now
heing compiled by the Census En-
rcau. and which arc being publicly
announced as rapidly as possible, are
out preliminary in their character,
stated Director Rogers.
"Thosc who intend to print the
population figures of our cites and
towns in a'IaMacs, school books and
ether publications intended for STAN
darA CT permanent use should bear
this fact N mind"
Sat later date the Census Bu-
reau will announce from time to time
the final and official population OF
each state. city, town, county, town
ship. CT ether MINOR civil division
and Il IS expected that The official
/ ropuation Of the United States by
states will be promr gated, and thus
be ready for certification to Con.
gress. some time in October.
!'It may well be that the figures
which we are making public at this
time will turn out to be the correct
| and official figures for many if no
! most Of the different subdivisions
However. I want to call the attention
Of everyone: to, the fact that the fig
ures we are announcing at this tim
are preliminary and are subject t
later correction.

records IS running the risk of no
