18 THE NORMAL ADVANCE W ever he finds himself in a crowd of perfect peo- ple he keeps his hand on his pocketbook. He advises everybody else to do the same thing. There are three things he wishes to have emphasized in the schools of Indiana. They are: tli The children should be taught the laws of hygiene and how to best observe them. His argument was that the people at large must understand and appreciate the efforts of the state board of health if legislation along the lines of personal and public hygiene are to be elfective. tm The essential features in any subject should be emphasized, and the minor points allowed to fall into place. Vague ideas of the subjects taught leads to ttimpx'essionistid, teaching. One teacher lately wrote on her ex- amination paper b The Idylls of King Lear, were written by Shakespeare? m Let every teacher in the state begin a vigorous campaign for better English. It is no use to argue that the school cannot overcome the influence of bad language in the home. If the school is so weak every teacher in the land is already sadly mis- directing her energy. The entire body of normal students and the pupils from the upper grades in the training school were present and attendediclosely to the address in spite of the fact that Dr. Cook, the Arctic explorer, was to be in the city for five minutes immediately following the hour given to Dr. Aley. 1- a , t - MABBIAGES Miss Frances Snyder and Mr. Chas.
