/ Excursions Create Interest
I "Nothing can take the place of the cx
lcursion In giving interest, force and value
Jto tho study of geography. It should en-
I ter more fully into our school work. Pic
ks tures, stereogramw and slides should also
/ be more generally employed.
"The study of objects should be given
f encouragement. Much material, both raw
and manufactured, can be supplied by
teacher and pupils. By combining pic
tures and -products a fairly complete his
tory of various industries can be pre

the work, and all first-hand knowledge
Of the world possessed by teacher and
pupils should be drawn upon to the fullest
"The exchange of letters by schools in
different parts of the country gives life to

can be obtained in this way. The greater
the number of the pupils who participate
in the work the greater the benefit.

Heter, superintendent of schools, St. t aui,
Minn.
The closing paper of the session was By
Walter A. Edwards, president of Thrnop
Polytechnic institute, Pasadena, on 'His
tory in the Life of the Pupil":
Mr Edward snid in part:
"The definition of education as a prepa
ration for life Is Inadequate. For educa
tion i« itself life. To (he child his school
should be as real and as naturally mo
tived as any other of his occupations. U
sh.mlfl have vivid connection with his
out-of-sehool experiences. This does not
tie us down to the material interests
- Which seem to nil the boy's days, for he
has as well his ideals and his hero wor
ship. All these Ivnyish experiences and
Ideas must be drawn upon to interpret
his early studies In history. For life alone,
enables any one to form a true conception
of history.
"The Immediate aim of most elemen
tary school history study is the acquisi
tion of facts, It being understood that by
facts we do not mean only names and
dates: but the philosophy of history is
surely beyond the comprehension of the
young child.
"In view of these considerations It seems
tinnedagoglcal. thounh perhaps practically
necessary, that we begin history study In
American schools with the history of our
own land. Ancient history is simpler,
with fewer interests and a less compli
cated social and industrial organization,
and therefore better suited to the child's
comprehension, than modern history.
However, this difficulty is partly met by
selecting the material for the younger
classes at least from the periods of ex
ploration and settlement, when condi
tions were primitive and life comparative
ly simple. Vividness of apprehension Is
aided by the proper use of pictures, ex
cursions to historical places, occasional
travel talks, etc. But is must never be
forgotten that the only way in which
children can learn history Is through
these aspects of it which they can in some
measure interpret by means of experi
ences they themselves have had."
SCHOOL LIBRARIES SHOULD
BE CHOSEN IN VIEW OF
USE RATHER THAN DESIRE
The library and school administration
departments were scheduled to join forces
yesterday morning In a session to be held
In the Alhambra hall. The library de
partment was present and carried out its
part of the program, but the school ad
ministration department did not make its
appearance and delayed the session con
siderably.
The school administration department
was to have opened tho session, the
library department presiding officer to
arrive after an executive session, conse
quently those who gathered for the open-
Ing of the session were compelled to wait
about one hour before the opening.

STATE UNIVERSITIES NOT
SUPPLYING SATISFACTORY
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
Prof. Steams said in pnrt:
"Tho growth of the Btato imiverßlties
has been unprecedented in tho history of
education. During the past decade tho
Increase In attendance at universities and
colleges has buen four and one-half per
cent, but the state universities have
doubled, trebled and even quadrupled.
"These students represent every stratum
of society. They are from the same stock
and no whit inferior to the Btudents of
the non-state schools. From these insti
tutions are to come in the future the
leaders, political, commercial and social,
of our country.
"Here springs up a problem for tho
church. Church and state, though sepa
late agencies, represent the activities in
different fields of one and the sumo peo
ple. As a civic institution and the crown
ing step In the public school system of
the country, the state university Is lim
ited In its opportunities for definite re
ligious instruction.
"The state university's need Is three
fold; pastoral relations with some strong
character who combines a specialist's
Itnoweldge of spiritual things with an
experimental appreciation of the difficul
ties peculiar to the developing student
mind; dormitories affording ample hom
ing facilities, dire to the large demands
made upon limited funds; and scientific
discipline in those branches that have to
do most directly with religious education.
Students Interested In Religion
"Religious statistics attest the Interest
of. faculties and students. Organizations,
notably the Christian associations, exist
and are active In philanthropic and other
religious work. Bible chairs and even de
partments are maintained In several in
stances either by churches or by Individ
uals. Guild nails afford opportunities for
meetings and other .student activities. In
a few instances theological seminaries
have been established contiguous to
though peparate from the state university.
"The most complete development Is the
associated college— :m Institution presum
ably denominational, located adjoining a
larger central university with which it
co-operates, supplementing but not dupli
cating the work of tho university.
"There Is no organic union with the
state university. The separation of church
and state is preserved In the full author
ity to teach and in the administration of
funds. Only wasteful competition is elim
inated. The 'church' and 'state' are not
separate, antagonistic organisms, but sim
ply two specialized forms of activity of
cne and the same people. 11
Objected to New Official
Quite a sensation was created by Vice
President G. A. Gates, chairman of the.
higher education department, yesterday
morning at the close of the session when
he plainly expressed his ideas adversely
upon the election to office of the N. E. A.
a person whose name he did not mention,
but who is alleged to be N. B. Brown,
president of tile University of Valparaiso,
who was elected a trustee at the meeting
of the new board of directors Thursday.
Professor Gates was profuse In his de
nunciation of the action of the election
to office of the man by "a piece of dirty
politics." He said:
"I want to protest ag 'nst the election
of a man who has done more to lower
the standard of higher education than
any other man or institution. His insti
tution and the men who have gone out
from it have done more to Injure the work
of higher education than any other Insti
tution or set of men. His election to one
of the high offices in thi association was
accomplished by dirty p- 11 ties. I do not
personally know the man of whom I am
speaking, but I know whereof I speak.
"I have heard many of our leading
educators say that they are sick at heart
over the situation. I do not wish to say
anything that will hurt anybody person
ally.' In my criticism of the Standard Oil
company I have nothing whatever to say
against the personal character of John D.
Rockefeller, and in luls statement I am
not mentioning names, but I do protest
vigorously against the exercise of cheap
politics that enn bring about ?uch result.
"Those of us who have tried hard to
uphold the standards of education In this
country know the difficulty of our task,
and it is time for the supporters of higher
education to speak out."

The Conceptive in Mechanism
Mr. Eastmond's address was as follows:
"From a psychological point of view
hand work and all mechanic art is first
constructed mentally before it is ex
pressed through the. possibilities of mus
cle power and skill, in material sub
stances. It is maintained that strength
of brain capacity and training of mind
faculties is the basic business of the
educator o£ the activities. Things made
educationally must be 'thought out,
■dreamed out,' planned out, before they
arc actually worked out.
"Art work in the public school is looked
upon as a constructive conceptive agent
as It comes In connection with manual
training, and where it is established as a
refining medium or for the practical bene
fit of innate talent it is recommended that
the following method of procedure be
taken:
Presentation of Lesson
"If the picture is to be a correlative ex
pression the mind of the student must
possess the images, at least in embryo,
of the subject to be represented. Build
the mental concept from an objective
stanpoint-that is, place within the reach
of the child's mental and manual facul
ties truths of form that shah convey in
the picture the thought and knowledge
gained. The picture must lie placed men
tally, to some degree, before it can bo
worked out actually. If you desire to
have painted an ocean scene then it will
be the llrst business to have the child
see the picture 'In his mind.' Allow the
Imagination to be exercised excepting
where some delinite, stated, fixed object
is bzrought in. For Instance, if a picture
is to be made of the Pyramids of Egypt,
as they have been presented to the under
standing of the child, then the truth of
the forms must bi> given him when the
objects cannot be seen actually; then you
will show them by using your chalk at
the blackboard or by a photograph or re
production of some kind that will con
vey the truth necessary. Never copy a
picture only as a necessary means to a
subjective end.
The Adaptation of Ideals
"It is maintained as well that necessity
Is the first stimulus toward construction,
but that as soon as an Idea of structure
Is placed the impressions of the object
ive of nature Is entertained even though
they have been reduced to geometric form
because of the facilities of production.
"The two great agents of expression
through the mind connected with the
manual activities is nature and geom
et"¥i is stated also that form in struc
tural evolution is influenced not only by
innate feeling or sense of progress—adap
tation of muscular energy to concrete
product, and by oppression of the senses
to that end, but by adaptation to con
"lt is held that the rural school should
accommodate courses for manual devel
opment that will Involve the use of na
tive materials or bo in touch with the
Industrial resources of tho child s en
vironment. That Ideals must be adapted
to those conditions and that teachers and
supervisors should receive a training and
knowledge that will be a means of con
verting the possibilities of any indus
trial locality into course and lesson ave
nues that will give the needed develop
ment to the activity of the child.
Work Possible to Introduce
•■Art and manual training In the rural
school is established educationally that
it aids in the all round development of
true, clean individuality in each hoy and
girl. It should not be introduced with
utilitarian alms to any great extent in
the elementary school.
"All problems should have three gen
eral requisites— consistency as to use, geo
metric basis and an element of beauty.
"In most all rural localities the follow
ing lines of work may be introduced with
slight tool ecuinment^ oRK
"Primary— Clay molding; paper cutting;
design, representation, free hand; brush
drawing, objective and subjective; char
coal and chalk painting: color study; de
sign cutting; paper picture work.
"Grammar-Subjective expression; clay
molding, objective, subjective, illustra
tive; brush drawing, line drawing; free
hand drawing: sketching; charcoal tone
study; picture making: chalk painting;
pencil painting: design.
MECHANISM
"Primary - Simple wood construction
with prepared stock and nails; paper cut
ting, folding, pasting; paper construction ;
pnstehoard construction: spool knitting,
braiding, weaving; textile art work; do
mestic nit work (primary); constructional
needle work (primary).
"Grammar— Three-sixteenths stock whit
tling; fret sawing; clay carving, wire
work, grass, husk, straw and willow bas
ketry design; knife carving; heavy whit
tling; bench sloyd carving: domestic art,
ornamental and eonstructur.il: garden-
Ing (primary agriculture); cooking (prl
mnrv domestic science).
"The above iB designed to be correlative, I
in general instances, with various sub
jects to benefit psychologically the child
mind in the retalnance of subject impres
sions.
"It is not the design that all the above
mentioned be introduced at one time in a
school system, but they are merely stated
because of their possibility. As many
phases of work a» possible should be
given the child during the elementary
school period. The hand receives a
broader, more sensitive training.
"The Influence of the esthetic upon the
productive mind and constructive activi
ties of the human being ultlmatea into a
feeling for consistency as consciousness
develops. There is a love established for
harmony with the expressed truth ni and
throughout the universe. Beeauty and
truth in God's creations will be a means
of conversion to the maintenance of
moral stamina through which all truth Is
advanced and established.
"Nature workmanship portrays creative
expression of master soul. It Is our whole
duty to fan to a brighter glow the flame
of virtue and moral power In these chil
dren that they may stand with the truly
educated through the beauty in the work
of the head and heart and hand united.
Beauty In structure stands for the purity
In the character of the builder. This is
the science of the beautiful."
DRAWING IN ITS RELATION
TO OTHER REQUIREMENTS
OF STANDARD CURRICULUM
The closing session of the art deport
ment of the N. E. A. was held yesterday
morning in Berean hall and was largely
devoted to the practical details of the
work of drawing as taught and as re
quired for admittance into the various
universities.
A. B. Clark, professor of drawing, Ice
land Stanford university, made the first
address on "The University Entrance
Credits in Drawing."
Mr. Clark said In part:
"Art education in the best secondary
school has become "xcellent. Recent
school exhibitions Including beautiful ob
jects constructed In wood, metal, fabrics
and Including chairs, tables, lamp shades,
block printing, drawings, paintings and
other objects show the high degree of
taste attained. The increased value is due
to thoughtful application of taste to
common objects of daily interest, so that
art training is no longer confineu to the
drawing or painting of pictures which
few people appreciate, nor does it mean
the design of ornament as an excresence
to be struck upon furniture, but rather it
means the design of whole objects with
equal attention to strength, durability,
good proportion and, in its proper place,
to decoration.
"This study Is justified in the public
schools because at least 75 per cent of
value In buildings, sites, houses, furni
ture and dress is dependent upon the
amount of taste used in the making. No
subject In curriculum has more value
for women. A large part of spiritual
sweetness In life depends upon the ahllity
of people to buy or to make things which
are artistically good and which will last
Instead of being discarded after a sea
son's wear because, like 'ragtime
music, they have lost their novelty.
"The universities are slow to recognize
this enlargement of drawing which
makes It a fundamental branch of culture.
They allow four credits In each of several
languages, in mathematics and in science,
and but one in freehand drawing This
discourages adequate attention to the. sub
lect Three of four credits should 'be al
lowed so that broader culture may re
sult from a broader contact with the
need! of daily life."
Eugene C. Colby, president of the de
partment and supervisor of drawing in
the state of New York, also made a short
address.
"Object Drawing" was the topic of Miss
Edna Lowd, teacher of drawing of Poly
technic high school, Los Angeles.
Following is a brief synopsis of Miss
Lowd's address:
"In most schools the serious study of
object drawing begins In the ninth year.
All can learn the grammar of drawing.
A few suggestions that have proved them
selves helps. The first essential
Is to have a definite aim and
to work toward that aim in
definite steps. Form Brood habits
In the way of working easily and freely.
