No people has ever yet lieen educated by private effort alone. The whole line of the founders of government might be greeted In de- * of tbe principle ‘ * ’ •n these {alter days the doctrinnalre. the secta- risn. the demagogue, have come to the attack on the free common school, but itatlUlives and with stronger and still stronger life very feeble, the supposed exercise of reason is likely to be only an exertion of the verbal mem ory. At this period of life the interest which 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 stood. the integrity of the reason is violated and confidence In its operations impaired and the faculty Itself permanently weakened instead ct bring strengthened. I have no hesitation, there 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 catechism has been propnaed by a gentleman In the part ot the state of Ohio from which I come In answer to the question. “What la the chi el end of man?” he would reply: "To glorify God and study arithmetic forever.” Within a few years say the last thirty or forty, far more attention been given it than it doenre*. We do not li>AttlMt^Mvil)a>i9qri|ta|k> Its eto- 8s, but we attempt to teach too much ot lu _ teach more in the schools than Is necessary In tbe counting house. I am told by the gentle man above referred to tost having occasion to draw a note which should he realise a certain sOm when discounted -ax bank, he found the cashier unable to reckon the amount (or which it should be drawn. This suggested a series of in quiries among bankers wbicn resulted in the dis iverr that hardly one out of ten could make the dculatiou on sight. Again, 1 am told by insurance men that they te never called upon to effect an insurance cov ering both the value of the property and the sum pertain, yet they are treated of in every school text book on this subject. If we were preparing a young man tor the in surance business, It might be well enough for »yon to-day.

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 tory.
