dicted at the school board office.
Thursday. At the beginning of the
school term. however. crowded condi

In a national survey of school seat.
ing accommodations. recently published
in national magazine, statistics show.
ing conditions in the leading cities of the
United States were made. the statistics
having been gathered from reports of

MUST UNDERSTAND FIRST.
Appreciation of Any Subject Depend
ert UHOn knowledge.

Underlying all appreciation there
must he understanding. and three or
four attitudes toward the subject need
To he recognized before il ran he an-
prcniatcd. DIR. Alfred l.. Hall-QUest.
professor Of cdu,aiioS at the Cnivcr-
Sity Of Cincinnati. told the Attendants
Of The Southwest Texas Institute
Thursday afternoon.
In the first place. proper worth
mus; be placed on thing before it
can hr appreciated. he said
We stand in the presence Of an cy-
perierrc and call it beautiful or ugly"
he said. I'VE stand in the presence
of q great mountain and call it mag
nificent. grand, sublime. We stand
in-the presence Of rose and call t
delicate. beautiful, not grand nor suo-
lime. There is a vast difference be-
tween gOod-looking. pretty ana
n beautiful woman We call man
who is not an "aircdalc" handsome,
not beautiful.
I'VE ought 20 teach our pupils not
TO call everything wonderful or awful.
There are so many people whose dp-
probation fluctuateS between those
two words. II is wonderful how WON
on fix their hair these days and in
some cases truly miraculous"
He gave brief outlines of "Dracula"
and Jewel of Seven Stars" two
novels by Stokes. both of which he
classified as horrible To appreciate
these books the reader has to under
stand that they were intended to be
horrible before he could place prop
er appraisal on their contents, he
said.
\ person must sense the funda-
mental significance of thing before
j.. can duly appreciate it, he declared.
y Teacher who has not grasped the
k2rrotc meaning of the basic thought
tie writer had in mind is not fitted
10 instruct in that course. As an cx-
ample of the way history is being
taught by some teachers, he asked such
questions as what was the color Of
Mrs. Caesars wedding dress:" What
hour of the day was IT when Mr.. and
Mrs. Caesar were married. and
Where did they spend their honey
moon:" Before a teacher is properly
c9hpped to teach history. he needs
10 be able to form a proper appre-
citation Of events and to understand the
significance Of those events to the
times in which they occurred and TO
the present day. he said.
\ person cannot appreciate ANY
thing without realizing his participa-
ton in it. was the third point made
by DIR. Hall-Quest. People applaud
music and art ther do not understand
because other people are doing it. and
purchase whole sets Of books because
one good book was written by the
same author. Peonle ought not TO be
SO easily hoodwinkNl, he said.
In concluding his I,cinr' DR.. Hall
Quest stated that emotional reaction is
