CHILDREN MUST.
BE SHOWN AIM
Of THEIR WORK
Schooling Failure Unless
They See Result That
Appeals to Them.
WILSON EXPLAINS 1T
Berkeley Principal Talks
on Making Studies In
ieresting.

II j. unfair and nonsensical TO try
TO teach children without establishing
some relationship between the WORK
thy are compelled TO do and 4 result
that appeals TO them, declared III. Il.
Wilson superintendent Of the Berke-
ley public schools. in his lecture Fri
day morning 70 the teachers who are
attending the Southwest Texas In
stiiute.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that there
are three kinds of activity. \ boy
will wear himself out hunting. FISH
ing or playing baseball for the thrill
or good time he gets out of srortS.
Then there is n certain class of WORK
thar he will delight in doing because
ii will produce something he wants.
Last of all IS drudgery. neither play
nor Interesting work for the reason
that the hoy can 50 no relationship
between the labor a-d any result thai
he wants to bring about.
Children CannGt Change.
Teachers can chalLe locations II
they become dissatisfied or can enter
sore other vocation. but children are
compelled 10 90 into certain class
regardless Of their wishes. they have
to stay with q teacher they may
heartily dislike. and they do work
that has no appeal whatever. he said.
Then il they fail TO do what they have
heen told TO do. they get "prison sem
fences" for their failure.
Children are not getting a fair
deal. according to Mr.. Wilson. who
said he wished he could say something
that would make every teacher lin
happy until each had found n way 10
gain the interest Of pupils in their
work bv showing them some result
that the pupils want to gain. Then
they will be able TO help children
prepare themselves to do the life work
that is best fitted for them.
Alone i'm This Class.
In no place except in school does n
person have TO master an entire vol
ume and answer questions on all its
contents. Mr.. Wilson stated. Out
side of school a person goes 10 the
library to consult work or seeks as
sistance only when some problem
arises in which he is vitality inter
ested. A lawyer will purchase whole
sets of books and place them on his
shelves. When a question which he
has never met before arises. he VIII
go TO his library and seek the answer.
He doesn't begin at the first page and
read, his books through from beginning
10 end.
The problem which confronts teach
ers is to create in every school room a
longing in the children for the knowl-
edge that the teacher is there 10 I'M
part to his pupils in order that a
eneed or motive will be supplied in such
way that the pupils will want to do
the work. Mr.. Wilson said. This can
he done in the classroom as well as
in life, he told them.
In opening his lecture. Mr.. VII
son took occasion TO express his ap-
probation of the spice that has been
given the institute activities by the
San Antonio newspapers.

THRONG GREETS FIRST
CANTATA RENDITION
Audience of 1000 Witnesses Pres.
entation of "Atonement" in
Local Church.

An audience of 1000 people filled
the Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Episcopal Church South and almost
night when the first rendition Of the
cantata "Atonement" was given un-
der direction of r. Deane Shure. COM
poser of the music
This cantata is an example of mo l.
ern religious music, combining the
usual solemn fervor with modern
rhythms and word emphasis. The or
gan prelude. played by Mrs. Frank A.
Frost. marshaled in interesting array
all of the motifs of the cantata.
The chorus of seventy five voices
showed excellent training in Song OF
the Soldiers which started with q
male chorus. The effect of dying
away in the distance was artistically
achieved. The words by Rossel Ed
ward Mitchell could scarcely have
had a more perfect setting than was
provided in the music and it's inter-
pretation.
The opening chorus was full of DOW
erful music. and the final chorus was
also brilliant.
The climax was Song of the An
gels." sung by the quartet. Miss Helen
Howison soprano: Mrs. Flora McGin
keefer. contralto; w. A Mccoy. first
tenor. and Howard +. Bailey. basso
This was followed by delightful
barcaroiie chorus, an unusual feature
for q religious cantata
The duet, Feed My Lambs" was
sung with feeling and artistry by Mr..
Bailey and B. L. Goodyear, second
tenor. Miss Howison's solo, Savior
Divine" had lovely melody, and her
recitative. The Rejected Christ" was
equally fine.
Mrs. keefer's low tones made "The
Sorrow of Mary Magdalene" inspira-
tional.
The other duet of the cantata. "The
Crucifixion," sung by Miss Howison
and Mr.. Mccoy, was also well given.
and Mr.. Webb showed wonderful
tones in THE Lament of Peter"
The cantata was repeated this noon
at Keith's Theater. The demand for
seats last night was so great that
it is pro obable another rendition in the
church Will be arranged
