'The standard of life, / hold to be
the most dynamic of all human con-
ception and the most applicable to
development by education" said DR..
p. T. Deyine in an address before the
fourth general assembly of the Mon
tana State Teachers association in
the Palace theater Tuesday night.
DR.. Devine told his hearers that edu-
ration offers the greatest promise of
all agencies for the development Of
the standard of living throughout the
world and the solution, of many Of
the greatest problems that have con-
fronted society throughout history. He
went on to show that the standard
Of life of society and its parts has a
tremendous effect on the harmony Of
such social existence and that gem
eral elevation Of the standard of living
through education would go farther
toward solving the three perennial
problems. disease, poverty, and crime
than any other solution yet conceived.
Many False Conceptions
He explained that many people have

THE fact that you have wealth

substantial part Of the education OF
the boys and girls under your care, and
you must stand alone with your respon-
sibility to your country in your teach
ings,' declared DR.. Devine, in his
Tuesday afternoon address at the third
general assembly Of the teachers as
ISOLATION. His subject was THE Social
Aim Of Modern American Education"
DR.. Devine explained that the great
est responsibility that rests upon the
teaching profession is the respensi-
bility Of teaching the children how to
adapt themselves to the universe in
which they find themselves. You
have laws, regulation, and various Of
ficers to tell you how to teach. he
said, but it is your obligation to make
good with your responsibility IN spite
Of laws and regulations. Your duty
is to make your proteges feel at home
in the universe; second, we must put
our young Americans in possession OF
America; and our next aim is to en-
able them to see America in its prop
err place among the nations.
Begin Teaching Early.
In celebrating these principles DR..
Devine said:
primitive man was afraid of many
things which has since been explained
as ordinary natural phenomena OF
which we have no fear today, but we
have many other examples Of nat
ural phenomena, such as low prices.
unemployment, dry seasons. and the
like, of which we are afraid. We. in
our time must learn how not to be
afraid of these things-to know our
universe-and in order to accomplish
this we must begin our teachings early.
1T is big job to put young Amer
leans in charge of their own country
and this must begin with the form or
the village street. Physically, geograph-
ically, religiously, politically, we need
to know what America stands for. 1t

independence. That was only an in

canyons, in the bowels of the earth, in
the fertile fields, in the rivers and har-
bors. and in the laws.
I'VE have a land that is varied in
geography, climate, and topography
and l wouldn't have it otherwise. We
need all the striking differences and
individual peculiarities that exist in
our country. You and your youngsters
are entitled to the heritage of all the
parts of our great country.
I'VE must see America among the
nations. If we are to prevent provin-
cialism in adult Americans you must
begin our work in childhood. We must
prevent bigotry and national conceit.
