Shall We Do Now?" did not advocate
the looking about for new things to
be done as the best method Of fur
thering the cause Of education. But
he did advocate an improved way Of
doing the "old" things. 1
Boys and girls are being, and nave
been, taught to read, write and speak
the English language, this forming the
fundamental basis. for the program Of
education in this country, but DR.. Lord
would have the public taught to read,
write and speak English much. better
than they ever have been. before.
Teachers and parents should improve
their " English, he said, by, way OF
teaching through example. Young
value as a foundation for further
reading and understan ding of litera-
fure.
Instead of fixing the limits of the
child's intelligence, Or. Lord would
have the teacher strive to learn the
possibilities of the child's receptive
ness. He would have the teacher
teach truths-and make them inter
esting, he said.
In conclusion DR.. Lord paid 2 tri-
butte to the teachers Of theIworld, and
said that in no other profession was
more opportunity offered to mould
character and help human beings to
a fuller and more successful life.
DIR. Lord was one of the early edu-
Gators in Dakota territory. having
come to tho University Of North Da-
kota and to schools through this sec
tion in the eighties to conduct teach
ers' institutes. He was later connect
ed with the State Normal school at
Moorhead. DR.. Lord will speak again
at this mornings session.
