Johnson of Rock Hil, 8. C., and L. R. Alderman of Portland, Ore., in favor of Dr. David Starr Jordan, the convention today put aside politi- cal activity and held thirty-two meet-~ ings for the discussion of educational topics. Committees reported and speakers discussed salaries, mental tests = for children, school gardens, use of move ing pictures in schools, sex hygiene and other problems. Segregation Is Recommended. Segregation of mentally defective children was recommended in a pa- per read by Dr, Franklin W. Barrows of Buffalo, N. Y., state medical in- spector of schools, before the depart- ment of special education. “Children who are teachable—ah those above the stage of idiocy— should be gathered into special classes under expert teachers,” Dr. Barrows said. “Children not in schools shoula be inspected regularly by experts. The home life of subnormal and ab- normal children often suppresses the little mentality that they possess. Ocouples Strategic Position. “The school occuples a strategic position, with every facility for the discovery 'of these unfortunate cases. No other agency can dc¢ what the school cun do for the urevention of the avil results thar flow from un- recogn'zed and untreatsy mental de- linqueacy.” That moving pictures are destined to revolutionize the present method of teaching was the contention of speakers at a meeting devoted to the discussion of their use. They = said that motion pictures give visuality and quicken the imagination of the child to a far greater degree in a few minutes’ time than the text book would in days of study. Disapprove Several Organizations. Representatives of smaller schools are behind a resolution which is be- fore the committee on resolutions, disapproving of the Sage Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, the various Rockefeller boards and similar organ- izations and the board for the pen- sioning of teachers in the big educa- tional institutions. The resolution is based the on democracy of education and the long effort of the association to guard that democracy. It recites that the foun- dations injure the small schools and demands that a committee be ap- pointed by the association to investi. gate with a view to learning whether the various foundations and boards in reality have stimulated teachers to study and industry, or have decreased their ambition by providing them with a certainty of livelihood after their teaching days have ended.
