Professor John Woodhull, of the ?.here' Co ego,
who spoks on "Sc?. i.cf. ?g the l'ubu?? Schools."
in behalf of the teachers the speaker said th
must pr.-ssing n? ed in the school? was simple sp?
un by which scientific probi, ms could be de?
monstrated and Ideas made real, it is hoped the

of facts." Professor Osborn, ..f Columbia, soys,
"Science la In the ascendane) in the world, bul i ?
ib?? schools ii h?lii? the position of petitioner,''
Other objects of science were to un ?s.? and culti?
vate the pow.r of observation and oorrect the
errors of Imagination; to train to pattenl careful
? Bear? hing for fa? ta,
To this end Ihe study should begin In early life,
and teachers should recognize the need of this ele?
mentary training lo ferro correcl habite of thought.
A study of science teaches a deflnlteness of speech
and less ambiguity, as Illustrated In the writings
of i 'ara in and Huxlej.
To a -t h mod? of expression one must have a
????!.? of thought, and this comes largely troni acl
entitle training, which determioea the right balance
between theory and practice. Il ateo gives pupil?
?? regard for natural law and tor truth The
speaker very humorously Illustrated inertia by the
various erratic motion? of the coble-care, which
seemed to prove bis statement that "Simplicity Is
ihe best tir,w.r of ? teOI her's art."

one great thing was classification. 11? also MOO |
