TRUSTEES ARE AT INSTITUTE (Continued From Pago One) based on matters of facts, he said. Prof. Fox delivered the second lecture of the forenoon. His subject, "General Nature in the Schools” was given with such enthusiasm that I his audience was held spellbound. The significance of life is not undcrI stood, he said, nor can one fulfill his station in life without a compreho i[sion of the underlying principles of ! animal and plant life. He said that wrong teaching results in the children being unable to grasp the beauties of na.ure concealed in the stone, the flcwer, the plants which rove il to us the goodness of God. Professor A.

The only benefit to be derived from concert work Is to get groups to working together, and to get up . enthusiasm and possibly a little saving of time, he sale. The speaker was ( not much in favor of home work, es- s pecially as it is done today. He said t that too much home Is required and a more emphasis should be placed upon 1 the quality of the work rather than f the quantity. He told the teachers • never to give home work or seat work to pupils unless It can be checked up., Dr. Myers said it was poor pedagogy for an English teacher to ask pupils! to write a composition of a certain, number of words. Dr. Paul spoke Wednesday afternoon on the subject, “Use and Abuse of Reading.” "We read too much that is of no consequence or value,” Said Dr. Paul. “We read the newspapers! each day, but if asked on the morrow' what we remembered from yesterday’s paper we would be hard pressed forj an answer,” he continued. Dr. Paul is an interesting speaker and is possessed of a remarkable memory. Ho quoted many poems, during his lecture and closed his talk with Tennyson's poem. “Crossing the Bar.” — o SENSATIONAL LEOPOLD-LOEB HEARING ENDS (Continued from Page One) three witnesses. Jacobs Franks, father of the victim, will be one of j them. About an hour will be suffice for , him to make out the case, Crowe I said.

He expects to impose | the sentence late next week. j .. ■ "■■■ K BIN I THE ADAMS : I 8 THEATRE ■ ■ TODAY ONLY g Metro Corp. g Presents I “THE TOLL OF g THE SEA” taken in gi ■ Perfect Natural Colors. a V As pretty a picture as you B g have ever seen. g It's tt story of human in- ® ten st takun in the Orient ■ With a Splendid Cast. ■ ■ —Also— g ■s Pathe Review a ■ The reel for particular B g people- and g Aesop's Fables Cartoon comedy.
