of the school by tbe united agency of religious

good results thus far aud promise of still better

No people has ever yet lieen educated by private

very feeble, the supposed exercise of reason is
likely to be only an exertion of the verbal mem

may seem to be excited In this study. Is only a
utility, bat because of the mistaken notion of the
true nature of a process of reasoning which It
begets in the mind of the average child. Pre
mixes being given, and a conclusion derived try a
false process, or by a process which Is not under

confidence In its operations impaired and the
faculty Itself permanently weakened instead ct

fore, in reacting grammar, or the greatest part of
It, from the list ol common ecnool studies.
But what of arithmetic? I answer with some
reluctance, because I know how strongly fortified
this subject is in the minds of the people For
Illustration I might say that an amendment of the

Again, 1 am told by insurance men that they

At the conclusion of Governor Colquitt's ad
dress President Smart *ro*e and said :
We have come to join bands with our brethren

we are sure that we shall have
not only the confidence but tbe help of the good

the proceedings We invite ail the people of the
state to join with us aod take part in the nro

leave behind os our ban wishes for t__
the state, our wishes for lot peace aud plenty.
We shall wish that all these beauuf.-l bills and

EMERSON S WHITE
1 E. White, of Lafayette, lad , was In
troduced and said:
Ladkaand Gentlemen: It is now nearly ten
yean since by kind Invitation f spoke an earnest
that nave been already said.
We are glad that there la a platform so bread that
all can meet on It without dUcord; can meet on
it with one single purpose. In that we have
been most heartily welcomed by the people of
Georgia. It Is as dear as human liberty. We meet
herein the cause that knows no touth, knows no
north, knows no west and knows no east.
A cause that belts the globe
and encompasses it wherever there is a human
soul, and we meet, too, when the American peo
ple are realising, ai they have never realized be
fore, that In education Ilea the foundation of all
good government. The teacher Is budding the
loundaiou on which our insUtmxms rest. He
Is the foundation
that preparation for citizenship involves more
than the elements of knowledge, that It involves
the developed faculty which fin one to rule, for
such a one alone can wisely cboo.e bis rnlere;
mat tbe man, as citizen of tne culture state, must
income participant In the Intellectual achieve
iaenta of tbe race; that as citizen of the jural
state he must be able to comprehend and control
the political forces which act upon him; that as
citizen of the industrial state,
plenty, a seif in the land of freemen. These re
sults, so essential to the national liie, eaunot be
attained by Individual effort aloue. The prin
ciple of national support of public education, in
its At place and degree, in such a land a
has life in Itself. Growing stronger year
In the heart, conscience and reason ol the
can people. It appeared more and more dearly In
national lexis atlon. Th 3 principle seems secure.
Thus I have endeavored to present the main
linen for immediate and most profitable effort
These are strategical points already ‘
guard the rights of all to share Its blessings, aud
must wisely select material from tbe Immense
field before us and we must more clearly fix aud
limit the educational (auction of the stave.
By my oheervatloas in my long j .urney to this
daty be so done that In the future glories of
the American name we may have onr share, and
that for lu dussten, if disasters come upon It,
may not be held responsible.
WHAT 8HALLWC TEACH?
A. J. Rikoff, superintendent ot the schools of
Cleveland, Ohio, then read aa important paper
entitled, “What Shall we Teach In Our Elemen
tary Schools?” It was read In a graceful manner
and ran aa follows
We are told that an English dry goodi firm
goods of the very sort tne Chinese wanted. In
other case* the traditioosl costumes of European
mts were procured aod imitated by Euglisx
with great snecesa Thuvtne manufactur
ers of England adapted there products to the de
mands of foreign countries.
if now we teachers were to look beyond the
traditional demands of tbe marktt for which we
are training the little chlldreu nuder our care,
and were to analyse minutely and conscien
tiously tbe knowledge and discipline of the bt st
dames of grown-up men and women, the moral
and mental habiliments, if you please, of well-
informed an<l intedlgent people ot different vo
cations in life, and If we were then to addre»s
ourselves not to tbe suppl# of a market the de
mauds of which are determined by the .ignorant
masses ra her than the intelligent, bat to
meet the real needs 01 a people
there can be little doubt that tbe curriculum of
our common schools would be greatly chauged
for tbe better. Much now taught would be cast
aside as of little value or as absolutely
worthless, and iu place would be supplied with
the elements which uow scarcely appear on the
programme But let me be mote specific. If
the schoolmaster, or rather tbe true
educator of the race were to send a commiretoD
to tta workshops, its farms. Its churches, its polit
ical and religl< us conventions, iu teachers’ desks,
aud its editorial rooms to make diligent inquiry
of the men and women to b.- fouud there, as how
much of the knowledge acquired In the elemen
tary schools in common to a majority of
them—1 mean a majority of the most
intelligent—tne very leaders in’ each
lass, aod H this commission were to make care-
ul observation of every remaining trace ot the
intellectual and moral description of the school*
to be found in tho modes ol reasoning and styles
e character that can
nm 10 be stmcl at.
rad we are glad to be welcomed acre in this great
work.
rXESIDXXT smart's address.
The addiess of President Smart was then read
It referred to the attention which public schools
are now attracting, the purposes of schools, their
▼slue to individuals, and their immeasurable
benefits in various ways The addrea* was
listened to with evident enjoyment by all pres
ent.
LINES or ADTAXreX
Hon. C. C. Rounds, principal of the state
mal school, Farmington, Maine, was introduced
and read an excellent paper
Advance in Education," of which the following
Amid the cares of the school room tbe teacher
is aura dfeooneted, and his effjrts are wasted,
because be cannot see the tendency of his work,
nor discern any advance in the cause in which he
labors. Yet, in education aa in medicine, there
are tinea of kast resistance; the spiritual forces
at work for the elevatiou of the raoe work by
law, and be who knows these lines and these
laws knows the direction for profitable effort.
That teaching is assuming a more definite
otofearioaal character la shown by the remarkable
u.create in the number of normal schools and I
tbe increasing prominence given la their course*
of study, to training in principles and methods of
tMtrwctira; by the esubds&mrat of tummeri
normal schools of various kinds, and by the cm-1
tabtishmrat of professorship* of pedagogy in col
leges and unlvenltiea, Uke those of Michigan and
Missouri Theoretically the ground has been I
won that tho teacher should be trained. It fol
lows by Inevitable logic that this truth should be
recognized in the employment of teachers, and it
citizens, moulding and shaping their ideas of
conduct. 80 great and continuous were its re
sults that its operations and Influence have been
a favorite theme of the student of political his
