Supt, Hayward Speaks. Bdward Hayward, snperintendent of schiools at Cohoes, N. Y, was the next _speaker, subject -being - The New in Education? Education is elth- er a process or a yesult. As a pro- cess we think of education’ as bring- ing a man to his best possible self. The first man in the history of edu- cation to give the world something new was Socrates. You know how he went to different classes of men and convinced them that they did mot know . their own business. there is not an institution. of learning that is not different because Socrates lived and taught. After. him came Plato and Piatd had a pupil named Aristotle. And Aristotle taught Alex- ander the Great. Alexander the Great made himself in a sense master of the world. ~ He declded that Orientalism weuld contaminate the world so he stamped. it out of Greece. Whatever new ideas we have in edueation we are Greek in our idea of education and we are because Socrates, gln!o, A':hl!‘; totle and Alexander the Great ~hel Greek ideas. The Greek idea of edu- cation means through harmonious de- velopment of the individual, Importance of Home Education. The home has its place in educa- tion and the father and the mother have some share in bringing up their children. I am glad there is a move- ment to train mothers to supplement the work of the publie school. Necessity of Progress. The world is progressing.

He places upon paper the answer to the M-t ‘of questions you want him to give. That is the old time measure of education, I wouldn’t give anything for it.. You cannot measure ability to do.by e aminations, The first test Dr. Butler sives is on the use of English and the power of the child to express himself in a language. Knowledge- is not power, never was, never will be. Pow- er is the ability to usa knowledge, Principal Marcus White Sp - Marcus White of the State Normal school ‘at New Britain was the last speaker and spoke of Oral and writ- ten English. He said that a pupil g}ust write if you went him to, but e must write his own story as far as possible, not something from a_book and 16 must part of himself. People who write for papers and magazines write things to be read. It is written to be read -and the person who writes it hopes it will be interesting to the person who reads it. That's the nat- ural motive for writing. I have heard teachers read a class a story and then ask them to reproduce it. They are to reproduce a story tbat was beftter told than they can tell it. Children cannot form hsbits by mere repetition. The child must cooperate with you. If “ | the child’s interest is in his work, all greatest factors for good in the world. ‘We must teach the child to write.
