he found competent help was needed
to take care of the inmates. A sup

needed, he says; also better housing

but satisfactory.

was seemingly abundant.
Fayette-Some worn bedding was
reported to have been found by the
inspector In this county Jail, which
bedding was ordered replaced There
was only one PRISONER confined In the
building at the time the inspection
was made. The inspector reported
that the county almshouse leaked, that
some of the chimneys were unsafe,
and the building as whole greatly

on former visit, but the bedding was
reported to be not sufficient for both

Quarters were In only fairly good con-
dition. The inspector says cots and
mattresses of the proper type should
be installed in the building and that
the jail needs painting. The amount
of fat meat included in the food was
excessive, the inspector declares, and
also that the food was not adequate.
Very satisfactory conditions are re-
ported as existing at the almshouse.
The inmates had good fires, wehe

seemingly happy.
Randolph--The inspector says that
on account of the fact that this Jail, In
many ways not In eonformance with
the requirements of law, it stands
condemned, although he found 1t clean
and In order. The almshouse, he says,
appears to be conducted in a satisfac-

been re-roofed since his last visit.

welfare agencies are providing for

1.-THE roads have incurred financial
MIR. Plumb. They have Impoverished
the public and after being given
$4,000, 100000 of public funds say they
must have more. That shows them
financially bankrupt.
They are physically bankrupt be-
cause millions of dollars worth of
equipment and rolling stock is going
to waste through lack of repairs and
attention.
"a mental bankrupt entertains de-
lusions and hallucinations and denies
existent facts, The railroads enter
tain delustions of being possessed OF
great wealth. They deny the exist
ence of the law of conservation of
energy and affirm they can take more
out than they have put in, They
believe they can repeal the laws OF
nature and thus are mental bank
rupts.
They are moral bankrupts be-
cause they are trustees who disre-
gard their trusts. This was shown
when they persuaded Congress TO
pass the Esch- Cummins act and then
used it as means OF private gain
at the expense OF those for whom they
exercise a trust.n

This quality should be strengthened
by 'sympa thetic insight Today the
big problem in pedagogue is that the
turn has been from subject matter to
that of adaptability to meet the needs
of the student.
My next quality is scholarship.
II mention 1T because without it how
shall you lead the scholar? Scholar
ship is necessary to give one a true
knowledge of proportion and a sense
of value so as to know the worth of a
fact or set of facts.
My next point is the ability to vital
i ize ones teaching. You should be able
! to relate your teaching facts to life
the child's present or future life. No
one is interested in doing anything
useless. When there is connection
between the facts and life convince
1 the child of it and not make them take
| ii entirely on faith.
Last of all self placement The
willingness to be forgotten. You must
be willing to make your contribution
but not expect them to be as grateful
as probably they should be. 1t is my
firm conviction that without these
qualities you will not be happy in the
| teaching field"
| Condemns Old Methods.
Old methods of "socialized recita
ton were condemned by Prof. Scott
He gave numerous illustrations in
which he proved a dislike for the con
Jugating recitation where most of the
work is accomplished by carefully pre-

pared vocal exhibitions in grammar.
His plea was for linking up of teach
ing with the abilities and natures of
the child, and holding to no given
fixed rule because it proved logically
correct to an adult.
.One high spot in so-called project
teaching is to teach according to the
way children grasp things, rather than
in logical way, which you try to make
them understand. When you teach the
logical way you are from Is to 20
years over their heads. Subjects had
better be presented according to their
sequence.
Encouragement Needed
Those of US teaching should have
the central idea of the subject in
mind but should be able to shift from
low to high and from high back to
low, to meet situations constantly arts.
ing. Project teaching forces teachers
to be learners with their students
Teachers should not assume the atti
tude of "know-italls'. The teacher
should encourage individual initiative
among students"
Two other points emphasized by
Prof. Scott were that the learning
process should not end with the study
period but should be brought into the
recitation period, and that every eff
fort should be made to keep the stud
ents in a favorable humor, as the
power to learn when the will is mo-
submissive is almost negligible.

plicated situations in school work that
they would be solved pleasurably, and
that wrong aims would prove painful.
Prof. Scott, who addressed the insti-
tute in the morning spoke at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon on Motivation"
THE way to insure the right di-
rection of motives is to have these
teaching situations shot through with
cooperative acting by youth and
adults. The adult will furnish the
guide to the right action. Subject
matter never motivates sufficiently
the teacher must be wide awake with
soul to furnish the dynamics in edu
cation.
in terms of our own profession we
must become more keenly alive to thu
changes in education. Our teaching
spirit must borrow from everybod:
and make our plan a growing one
our scheme of things must be a grow
ing one"
Good Education
Prof Scott outlined the following as
fine conception of education:
Education which provides for so
cial growth as well as mere menta
growth.
Education which provides for thf
use of present active heritages as vel
| as past.
Education which provides for adul
checking and stimulating"
