problems that often confront such
organizations. She mentioned the
fact that sometimes school people
are not anxious to have a Parent
and Teacher association formed. She
thought that this was due to the
fact that organizers of such associa-
lions sometimes have wrong notions
as to what is to be accomplished, and
how it is to be done.
She called attention to the unfair
ness OF sending cut a visiting COM
mittee; who make single visit and
then report back to the association
on the conditions which they find.
Such committee she said was al
most sure to go out looking for some
thing TO criticize, and that when a
committee goes out with this idea in
mind it very seldom fails to find
something.
Another thing she mentioned was
that the people working in an associ-
alton should not be to particular as to
who gets the credit. She said that
very frequently the work of an as
ISOLATION was hindered by the failure
OF people to help because they didn't
always get full credit for what they
did. She thought if the cause was
worth working for at all the people
who were interested in it ought to
be willing to serve for the satisfac.
ton of knowing that they had fur
thered the cause.
Criticisms are often thoughtlessly
made by parents or others who are
interested in the school. Too much
is often expected of teachers. Par
ents who have all they can do to
take care of two or three children
often are very much excited if
teacher who has thirty or forty chill
dren occasionally becomes impatient
or makes decision which is not ex-
actly fair. Miss Hale told of case
that happened once when she was
teaching school. A certain member
of the association who had taken the
critical attitude complained of
teacher. 1t seems that when she had
visited the room there had been some
light disturbance which she thought
was unnecessary. One day when she
came up to school it happened that
the teacher had to leave, and Miss
Hale offered the visitor chance to
take the room for a few hours. She
readily accepted this offer, but it
was only few minutes before she
was in the principals office asking
her how she could make the pupils
sit down. She was unable to keep
them in order at all. She left the
school that day with the comment
that she never realized how well the
teacher was handling her problems.
She had come in with the idea of
finding something to criticize and
had missed the good points of the
teachers work entirely. The exper-
fence had particular happy ending
for it changed the visitors attitude
entirely and from that time on in
stead of taking the attitude of criti-
cism she did everything she could to
assist the teacher for whose work
she now had more respect.
The sum and substance of her talk
was that Parents and Teachers
Association could accomplish a great
deal if those concerned where in
terested in the schools, and were will
ing to lay aside all personal and
selfish aims.

without interest or collateral.
Mrs. Wheeler described the kinder
garten as doing four things
Americanizes, socializes, educates
and builds character.
The outstanding message of Miss
Williams of the School Education
committee was, first, that every
child shall have an equal opportun-
ity with every other child, and,
second, that our rural schools arc
from one to five years behind the
graded schools.
In the evening the association
listened to two grand addresses, by
DR.. Owen and Miss Hale.
DR.. Owen was former president of
the National Education Association.
He talked on the modern high school.
He said that we are now beginning
to see the high school from a new
point of view. We are attempting to
give all students high school edu-
cation. The high school was origin
ally preparatory school for boys
and girls who intended to go to col
lege, and for the most part for those
who intended to take up some pro-
fessional work. Boys and girls who
did not intend to take up professional
work did not as a rule go to high
school. They learned their trade or
business by experience as an appren-
tice or by some other similar system.
We are attempting to send all our
children to high school because of the
increased demands of modern life.
Ii is necessary that one be better
educated than formerly if he is to
take place in the modern commun-
ity. Business has become so special
lied that it is not possible to learn
many things from experience.
We are building a new theory of
secondary education. That this pro-
cess is well under way is pointed out
by the fact that the National Bureau
of Education in 1918 published
bulletin in which was outlined the
Cardinal Principles of Secondary
Education.
Briefly these principles in order
their Importance are:
Health
Worthy home membership
Adequate Vocational Preparation
Training for the wholesome en-
joyment of leisure time.
DR.. Owen was of the opinion that
the most effective teaching along
these lines would result from the
proper example set up by teachers
and parents. What we preach but
do not practice does not get very
far with children of high school age.
He urged that parents set an ex-
ample of worthy home membership,
and civic responsibility and that the
school duplicate as far as possible
existing social conditions so that the
child may learn to do as we'll as to
know.
Another very interesting speaker
at this meeting was Miss Hale who
is a member of the State Depart
ment of Education from Maine. She
talked about Parent and Teacher as
sociations, dealing frankly with the
