TECHNICAL SIDE OF TEACHING IS BEING EXPLAINED J - - Personal Element in Instruc tion Said t6 Play a Large Part in Education Some suggestive projects for the rural schools were put forward this morning by Miss Mabel Carney, of Columbia University, in one of the section meetings of the Dauphin < ounty Institute held in Zion Lu theran Church. Miss Carney sug gested that the interest of their pu pils might he help more easily and their instruction be simplified 'if lo cal objects were used in the prob lems presented. For instance, said Miss Carney, if ) ou ask a hoy how many cows there mifcht be left in his father's fields trotn a flock of fifty if ten of them were to break down the fence and F e a way, he would he much more mtCrested in picturing that idea than he would be in simply trving to subtract ten from fifty. It is a mat °r j, a PP e al to the imagination, according to Miss Carney, and both teachers and pupils will find the way much easier and more produc tive if they will follow that sort of scheme in their teaching. Dr. George A. Mirick spoke to the ' lower grade teachers on "Methods of nstruction." while Dr. George H. J ■ettsaddressed the sii upper grades "h Measures of Method." Dr. Betts 1 urged a greater uniformity in teach- HOW TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR A vi',"t' nna l! Bnrl "r Tells How to " Itemed j for Gray Hair „ Kranlt Ha rbatigh, of Cincin nati.

Fol lowing the section meetings, the teachers adjourned to Fahnestock Hall to meet with the directors in Joint session. Fault of Degrees Dr. Frank P. Graves delivered the principal address of the morning when he spoke on "Educational Measurements." Beginning his lec ture. Dr. Graves said that modern dpgrees of all kinds are no longer a 'rue gauge of a man's capacity and intelligence. There are too many standards for degrees of the same kind, and where one man in one university or school might get a bachelor's degree, which would re flect credit on him and his alma mater, another man in the same uni versity would receive the same de gree and in later years prove him self to be absolutely undeserving of it. Regarding the personal element in marking papers. Dr. Graves told the following story in support of his contention that too often the teacher's physical or mental con dition reflects itself in the mark handed put to the student A geom etry paper was mimeographed and sent to three hundred teachers in the middle west. In any subject so arbitrary as mathematics, it would seem impossible that different marks would he placed on the paper, but the three hundred teachers graded it variously from 28 to 92. New Standards Dr. Graves went on in the de velopment of his theme and dwelt on the various phases of measuring education and intellect us evidenced in eastern schools. He was of the opinion that the old methods or measuring must go, and the new standards, by which a student's work is judged in a most impersonal Und abstract way, substituted. Dr. Graves was followed by Miss Mabel Carney, who delivered an ad dress on "A National Program For Education." Miss Carney asked for a united national effort in the pres ent educational renaissance and said that, it is the only way in which definite progress can be made. If we are to go ahead in these things as wc have gone ahead in outside matters, co-operation of states and counties with the national heads of education will be necessary. Miss Carney presented a scheme of na tional development from an educa tional standpoint. This afternoon the session was continued with addresses by Dr Graves, Dr. Mirick, Dr. Betts and Miss Carney. The institute will ad journ to-morrow morning with a final session in Fahnestock Hall, at which Dr. Betts will speak.
