A6SENT-MINDEDnESS

q have already stated that probably some knowledge is derived from req son. as maintained by Kant and others. The more highly a man is trained to think reflectively, the more he tends to put his attention upon distractions and overlook the things presented to the senses. Thus. some men become what is commonly called absent-mind ed. Their attention is turned inward and they do not react intelligently at times to the situations that develop through the eye and other senses man may start fire out of bric.a brac or ornaments about the room when coal and wood lie before his eyes on the hearth, or do some other mex plicable thing that an ignorant man would be unlikely to do"
 "Mr Tigert am correct in infer ring that we have had too much thinking and not enough seeing in our schools?"
 Replying to that query I will say that our methods have greatly accen- tuated abstract thinking in the past years. Of course no one would mini miZe the value of reasoning on ab- stract things. but it has It's danger in ,aftff s9 by a corresponding stimulation of the senses. to disassociate one from the world of things which Is perceptible to the senses alone.
 "If my premises he accepted, then you will freely admit, think, that the time has arrived when we must make thorough survey of the materials of visual education with the purpose oi making our teaching more effective and of securing a better balanced type of education. A great deal of visua instruction has long been in vogue.

VALUE OF SIGHT

l VALVE VT OtSFl
 'Without going into the hairsplitting
 analysis Of the philosopher and the 1 psychologist. we can readily recognize
 that the eye is man's chief source of | knowledge. I have always asserted | that, if l had the option of being de prived of my sight and retaining all | forms of sensation or of retaining my i sight and being deprived of all other | forms of sensation, I would without hesitation retain my vision and sacri, ! flee all other senses. I believe that this would be the choice of every man. Suppose we turn our minds back youth and attempt to recall some of 1 the things we learned. l think that you will agree that in certain subjects. the material presented in pictures has somehow fingered more consistently than the words of our teachers or our textbook. For instance, I can recall vividly the pictures in the little his tory of the United States that stud. jed. There was George Washington crossing the Delaware river amid the jagged ice floes and the swift current,
 the terrible scene at Valley Forge the final surrender at Yorktown and many similar pictures. but cannot recall
 today what my teachers or textbooks said about those events. It is possible
 that one may be more visually inclined
 than another but think that most per.
 have described to you.
 'If you have ever done much hunt
 ing with dogs you surely have been
 forced to a realization of the com
 pleteness with which man depends
 upon his eye. Haven't you often been
 puzzled and occasionally irritated to observe other animals which rely more
 largely upon other senses? Most of us have been provoked at dogs which pursue rabbits by means of smell rath- CT than by means of vision. The rab-
 bit will sometimes double back a hundred yards or more on the trail and pass within a few feet of the pursuing dog. The dog could cut across and save much ground in the chase but he runs steadily down and back up the trail of the rabbit because his pursuit is controlled by his sense of smell and his eye never seems to discover the rabbit until he is practically in contact with it.

WASHINGTON. Oct S.-To unex. pectedly come across a high official of the United States government, perched all alone upon the stump of fallen tree on the top of a high hill. gazing into the distance in a dreamy sort of way. is an incident well calculated to arouse the curiosity of almost anyone.
 Recently while roaming over the hills of Virginia, beyond the Potomac river from Washington, D. C., found John James Tigert in that somewhat unusual attitude. Tigert you will re. call, is the youug man whom President Harding recently brought to Washing ton from the University of Kentucky, and made United States commissioner of education.
 Whats the big happy dream?" I asked as I helped myself to a messy seat beneath giant oak.
 Well, sir, I was just sitting here feasting my eyes on beautiful Wash ington. You will notice that the entire city. including the White House, the Capitol, the Lincoln memorial, the Washington monument, and, in fact, every point of interest in the nation s capital can plainly be observed from this particular point of vantage. I don't suppose I'll ever get tired of
 
 live here.
 Just as you happened along l was induIging in an inspiring dream of the future for the children of America. was thinking what a great thing it would be if every school boy and every school girl in the United States could see the city of Washington as I do at this moment I also had a vision of taking the world to every little red school house through modernization of our present educational system. By taking advantage of recent inventions such as the moving picture machine and the phonOgraph 1 believe we could easily take. not only the city of Wash ington and it's interesting public men. but pretty much the entire world, to the little red school house and all other Institutions of learning from one end of the country to the other I've made up my mind to tackle that inno- vation and see if I cannot put it across during my term as commissioner of education"

VISUAL EDUCATION"

Do you mean to tell me" I eagerly asked, that you would be willing, as national educator, to advocate a letting up of the teaching of our pub. lie schools of such things as dead Ian. puages. mathematical puzzles and neverremembered historical dates of the weck-and.month variety, in order to take the real. genuine world to the children"
 T surely would" was his smiling reply. "I am convinced that visual education will sweep the country within the next few years.
 Man, you know. is pre-eminently a seeing animal Sight is the principal avenue of his information. John Mil ton wrote of the five senses as the Five Gateways of the Soul The eye unqustionably is the greatest of these 'rateways' have been informed that Thomas Edison has estimated that SD per cent of the sensuous knowledge that we receive comes through the eye. nine per cent through the ear, and the rest through the other senses touch. taste and smell.
 If it be true, as John Locke main tained in the Essay on the Human Understanding and as many psycholo' gists of the present day maintain. that all knowledge originates in sensation and if MT Edison's estimate is correct then it is evident how completely we are dependent upon the eye as the greatest basis of education. Out oi each one hundred facts we acquire eigbty.rlve will come through the eye nine will come through the ear. and six through the other senses.
 How about gaining knowledge through reason and woman's famous "intuitiono" I inquired.
 "Oh. it is quite probable that some information is derived from sources that are not sensuOus; reason, intui tion and other processes must be con sidered Furthermore, 1t is quite like Iy that the proportion of knowledg' derived from various sources ant senses is not a fixed constant and tha the exact ratio, estimated by MI Edison, even if approximately correc in it's proportion, is not true for all pel sons and under all conditions. Doubt less, there will be considerable varia ton with different individuals accord inf to differences in mental types

WHAT IS NEEDED

'Narious inventors, commercial pro. ducers. and enthusiasts are putting forward the particular thing in which they happen to be interested financial ed is an impartial study of the various materials in an experimental way in order to determine the comparative value. the most effective organization. and the proper relationship of these materials so as to produce the best re- suits from an educational standpoint. The question of economic production Is absolutely fundamental and is per. haps the greatest problem involved, but efficiency from the teaching stand point must not be sacrificed to com. mercial interest Because the film has become the basis for one of the largest present day industries and Cas me dium for amusement purposes), a source of great commercial gain, the problem of economic productions of films for educational uses is made more difficult.
 "It required a great deal of thought to produce, develon, and perfect the motion pictures for commercial and amusement purposes. but it will re- quire still more thought and vastly more investigation and expcrimenta- ton to discover the best adaptation of materials for education work. Under what circumstances to use the film. the slide. and the other aids of visual education must be investigated; when such aids should be used in connec- tion with textbooks, with talks by teachers. with discussions by the pu, pills. for the most satisfactory results, and countless other things, will have to he experlmentally determined.

 HISTORY
 "Of the ultimate value and triumph of visual aids to education I have not the slightest doubt Imagine. if pos sible. what a vast difference the mo tion pictures of historical events, now being enacted, will make to teachers in the generations to come. Hundreds of years hence teachers will he able to show in the school room moving pic lures of Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft. Woodrow Wilson. War ren G. Harding and succeeding presi- phonograph and hear these men deltv- ering their epochal addresses, who can estimate the advantage that the child of the future may have over the cHilq of the past in imbibing a real vital contact with and knowledge of the men and events that make history? Inn agine. if you can, what it would mean to the teaching of the history of the Civil war period if we could see Abra- ham Lincoln delivering his immortal speech at Gettysburg and at the same time hear his words as he actually ut tered them. Those events came foo early but future generations will not be blinded to the vision of the great history makers of our times nor will their ears be deaf to their living voices"
 This man Tigert, who heartily favors the movement to take the world 10 every little red school house" is comparatively young man, having been born at Nashville. Tenn, in 1882. His father was prominent bishop of the Methodist church His grandfather Bishop II. N. McTyeire. was the maH who went to Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt many years ago and per suaded him to donate million dollaEA' with which to found Vanderbilt uni versity. He was the first presid ent of the university. Commissioner IT. gert was the first child born in Wcs' ley hall. one of the large dormitories of Vanderbilt university. At that time his father was professor in tlSe uni. versity having held the position fo7 many years of professor of mental arsd moral philosophy Bishop Tigert, sub- sequentIy. was for twelve years book editor and editor of the Methodist Review at Nashville, at the expira- tion of which time he was elevated to the episcopacy. Six months later he was accidentally killed at Tulsa, Okla. Both Bishop McTyeire and Bishop ri gert were leaders in Aheriman Meth odism and extensive writers on rclig, ious and other subjects. Bishop Me. Tyeire was the author of a complete history of Methodism and a number of other books. Bishop Tigert was the author of The Constitutional History of American Methodism," which is said to be the only comprehensive work of its kind in existence. He also wrote a number of other books along religious lines.
 The new commissioner of educa | tion began his education in the public
 schools of Kansas City. Mo, in 1890 Four years later his family returned
 to Nashville where his elementary
