The session was nttended by several | hundred principals, superintendents and high school teachers. Dr Thomas H. Briggs of Columbia uni- wersity spoke on the “Need of Spe- cific Purposes in High School Bdu- cation.” He asserted that the child had a right to know just why he was studying a given lesson in Latin, | or in any other subject, adding: “The pupil has a right to know, and | should be taught just why it is as-| signed to make a given experiment in physics or chemistry.” Superintendent R. M. Campbell of Co lumbus presided, and Miss May Beok of Bancroft acted as secretary. Wilson Tout, North Platte, spoke on the *Elec- tive System in High Schools.” W.

He condemned the old | methods of teaching reading, which merely taught a pupll to pronounce | words, and stop the proper length of time at periods and commas. He told of his own experience in early collego | days of reading psychology lessons to a | blind student in order that the student | might keep up his work and pass the | examinations. He wald the student got | enough out of these readings to pass the examination, although Dr. Briges, | who read them, did not know what he was reading. He told of a woman who French beside her cook stove while she was getting dinner, until she could read the most difficult French | novels with enjoyment. “rer pronun- | clation of French would have made any one laugh who had studied French a woek in school,” he sald, “yet she was | gotting what she wanted, and her read- ing of French without pronouncing a single word correctly was infinitely bet- ter than my reading of psychology with every word pronounced correctly.” Speed Accuraey. | Speed, accur: evaluation, and mat- isfaction of purpose, he gave as four eesentials to be sought in the teaching of reading. Dr. Frank M.'Levitt of the University of Chicago spoke on vocational guldance. He said that vocational guidance is not necessarily planned to outline a man's career to the end of his days, but thar it should provide a start in life for every pupll.

The king can adjourn the chamber for some time and then order new elections, following which there f would be a delay of several weeks fn the | assembling of the new chamber. During | this long period the king would be able to | place the nation's affairs in the hands of men of his own choice. There ia no pres- ent reason, the Tageblatt concludes, to | expect an immediate reversal of the pol- fey ot Greece. French Official Report.
