Mr.. HulsiZer said in part: AL
though we must not, in our zeal for
progress, lose that which is good in
our educational heritage, we must
be ready to use the results Of re-
search along educational lines to
improve our schools. Just as in the
medical profession training extend
ing over a longer period of years is
now considered necessary, so the
standard of training for teachers has
been raised, making advanced study
desirable. By way of illustration
Mr.. Hulsizer touched upon the diff
ference between old and new meth
ods of teaching Arithmetic and Read
| ing. He mentioned the fact that
music in the school is now recOg-
niZed as a means of release of ply
sical energy as well 0s giving the
child an opportunity to satisfy his
creative impulses.
