MINUTES OF EDUCATIONAL MEETING
RECENTLY HELD
Under the Leadership of County
Held a Very Helpful Institute Discussing Methods to
Increase Efficiency of the Public Schools.
The Chinese education alms at obedi
ence to the head of the family. In
Hindustan and with aome modifications
in Egypt we find that no Individual can
look beyond hU caste, and education
alma only at the duttea required of the
members of the reapectlve castes, while
among the Greuka and Romans we find
Individuality asserting Its claims. Thus
the old education is distinguished from
the new education more partlcufarly'by
its alms. The aim of the new education
Is tbe developement of Independent In
dividuality, fitting for life In society
capable of happiness, efficient for use
fulnesson the basis of morality and
reason. Thus tbe prime excellence of
schools and of systems of educations
lies not so much in the method but Jn
the alma, and only when the alma are
equally excellent does the methods bo
come a paramount criterion of relative
excellence. Tbla was clearly shown by
tbe character of the Educational Meet
ing held in Assembly Hall Friday eve
ning, Oct. 2.
The meeting was called to order by
County 8upt. R. B. Teltrlck. In the
absence of Rev. Reno, Prof. Teitrlck
led tbe devotional exercises. After a
few well chosen remarks by Prof.
Teltrlck, the topic "Morning Exercltes"
was taken up for discussion. Tbe
teachers should put forth every effort
to . make the morning exercises
Interesting as well aa useful. There
ahould be variety. Quotations, recita
tions and stories may be used
effectively. To create an Interest in
singing, choose songs tbey all like and
are familiar with. Bible stories may
take the place of reading from the
bible and will be enjoyed by all primary
children.
From the Sept. number of the School
and Home Education Prof. Teltrlck
read the following list of bible selections
to be committed by puplU ton and
eleven years old : Ton Commandments,
Lords Prayer, Beatitudes Matt. V :
1-13, TruBt in God, Matt. VI : 24-34,
The Two Foundations, Matt. VII :
24-29, Tbe Parables of a Kingdom,
Matt. XIII, Tbe Parables or Rescue,
Luke XV, The Pralso of Love, I Cor.
XIII, The Control of tbe Tonguo,
James III, 1-12, Tho First Psalm, also
19, 23, 24, The Two Paths, Prov. IV :
14-20, The Way of Llfo, John XIV :
1-8, The Heavenly City, Rev. XXI :
10-13, 22-27, XXII ; l-tl.
The next toplo was "Home Study."
Pupils should be encouraged to study
at home. A little tact and good Judg
ment in the assignment of lessons for
borne study will often overcomo tho
prejudices of paronts. Interest tho
child and tho parents will soon become
interested.
Mrs. H. C. Cartnalt, of Indlaua Nor
mal, took up the subjoct of ."Roading."
She said : We should seek that way by
which reading could be boat taught In
tbe moat economical way in time and
energy, and that the time was near at
hand when formal reading will not
begin until the child Is eight yeara old.
He will then do tbe same work in throe
months that It takes us now two years
to do. The first two years of school
would bo deyoted to hand training,
body training, cultivation of mother
tonguo and the hearing of stbrlos.
Roading Is tbe key to all wrltton
knowlodge and literature, and to train
tbe pupils in tho right use of key wo
must select the reading wtsoly. It
must be beautiful and ennobling, but
adapted to tbe stage of dovelopomont
of tbe child. There are two parts to
the reading process, the Intellectual or
thought gotting part of process and the
mechanical part.
There are four ways by which we
may teach reading: the sentence meth
od, tbe word method,' tho alphabet
method and the phonlo method. The

IN ASSEMBLY HALL
Superintendent TeitricK the Teachers
sentence method is considered tbe best,
but ho matter with which one we start
we use all the methods before we have
advanced very far. Mrs. Pollard's
Pbonio System, though very suggestive
and gavo distinct articulation, empha
sized the mechanical side so strongly
that the thought getting or the true
aim of reading was a secondary place.
The Rational method Is a combination
of word and sound and is trying to
strengthen the weak aide of the Pollard
system.
Mra. Carmalt closed her talk by say
ing that we should put forth every
effort to train the mother tongue and
that we thould soak ourselves In good
literature. Mrs. Carmalt's talk showed
us that the methods of education differ,
and very widely, from those previously
used. But these differences aro seldom
radical ones, they are mostly the result
of additional knowledge gained from
additional experiences.
Miss Mansfield, of Indiana Normal,
gave a very Interesting talk on "Vaca
tion Schools." These schools are open
ed for the benefit of the poor children
who live principally on the street. In
these schools cooking, sewing, painting,
manual training and such things are
the branches taught. She had with
her aome samples of basketry work.
Occupation work has a great educa
tional value because of tbe concentra
tion of tbe mind and thought. It also
develupes the inventive side of the
child's nature. Any one Interested In
basketry will And many helpful sug
gestions in "How to Make Boskets,"
by May White.
Prof. Teltrlck urged the teachers to
place in tholr schools The Youths Com
panion and .Success. He had made
arrangoments by which the teacher's
could get The louths Companion for 15
cents per month and the Muccctut 35
cents for six months.
The mooting was well attended and
will prove a great.help to the teachers.
