BEWARE OF TEXTBOOKS
Can Be Followed Too SIavishIy, Says
Superintendent Stout.

Can Be Followed Too SIavishIy, Says
Superintendent Stout
1t is not wise to follow a textbook.
slavishly, when the text is inclined to
overstress the easier parts of mathe-
mates. and to not lay enough stress
on the harder parts, A. J. Stout, super
intendent of the city schools of To-
peka, told the grade school depart
ment of the teachers's convention this
afternoon.
In his address on Common Sense
in Teaching Arithmetic" Superintend-
ent Stout laid emphasis on the neces-
sity of teaching, in the easiest way and
in the easiest sequence, the things
which will be of benefit to the pupil
both in school and in life after school.
Turnout the ages, people have been
taught number work thru the handling
of actual things, and the relation with
that handling, of words and symbols.
superintendent Stout pointed out.
He urged that the actual things
which will bring arithmetical educa-
ton in practice in everyday life, be
arithmetic in the grade schools.
There are far simpler ways of
teaching arithmetic than are now
used" superintendent Stout told his
hearers. and urged them to make use
of these easier and simpler methods in
their class work
The department meeting was pre-
sided over by Supt. A. +. Senter, of
Ottawa. and was held in the high
school building.
For many years, general lnstruc-
ton in the technique of study has been
given both in reading and in the con-
tent subjects. A very serious limita-
ton to the instruction which has been
given is the fact that it was very. gen.
eral. AS a result, pupils are d1scov-
cred with surprising frequency who are
unable to read intelligently or to pre-
pare assignments effectively"
Dean William S Gray, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, said in addressing
the department on Teaching Pupils
Ito Study Effectively:
For several decades, reading was
defined primarily in terms of oral in
terpretation. Such matters as express
sion, pronunciation, emphasis and
force received large consideration. So
much time was devoted to oral read
ing that little or no attention was
given to many other phases of the
subject. During recent years, however,
a distinctly different view of reading
instruction has developed. Reading
is now defined by progressive teachers
as a means of extending experience
and of stimulating the thinking pow
ers of boys and girls. This definition
recognizes the large Importance of 81
lent reading and intelligent interpre-
tation."
Dean Gray outlined a program of
reading instruction which lays empha-
sis on silent readir , and intelligent
Interpretation, and described specific
methods of teaching which will Sc
cure effective results.
