Homing Session is Devoted to Leces by Dr. Henderson and Miss Colbert

•v

Nearly three hundred teachers Were present Monday morning, when James Propst, county superintendent of Bchools, opened the fifty-first annual session of the Vigo county teachers' institute, at the Normal high school hall. Following the devotional exercises, John K. McCarter, of Pimento, Ind., opened the program with music. The instructors engaged for the week and their subjects are: Dr. William D. Henderson (Ann Arbor, Mich.), pedagogy Emma Colbert (Indianapolis), primary Superintendent John F. Haines (Noblesville), £.griculture IVan Rhyan (Terre Haute), domestic science, and John K. McCarter (Pimento), music.

Dr. Henderson, of the University of Michigan, spoke in the morning and outlined the work ho intends to give during the week. Hi3 subject was, "Experience—Factor in Education."

Science is Needed.

^|K"One of the great needs today, in this country," he said, "a need that is as great as peace and preparedness, is scientific methods in teaching. As a rule pedagogy is not treated as a science. Physical science, such as physics and chemistry, advance more rapidly than pedagogy, because of the fact that the former subjects deal with inanimate objects. "The science of education Involves the human being and also long periods of time. The requisite for th6 use of science of education are first, large bodies of facts to draw from socond, they must be co-related and tabulated in a useable way third, a uniform system of records must be kept, so that experts may draw at will upon this data prepared. Finally w© must have a system so that supervisors can apply laws as circumstances demand them. "The first Important factor in the science of education is that of experience. Before we can have the art of study, we must have growing work of experience. Experience is the stult out of which life is built."

Explains Primary Needs.

r*~~iAfter

the morning intermission, Miss

Colbert spoke on "Why De We Have a Course of Study." She said: 'In order to teach children, we must put ourself in the child's place.. We must study the child's needs first. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler classifies'culture under five heads—science, literature, art, history and religion. The child has all of theso branches in mind, but it is necessary for the teacher to develop them."

Lecture on Agriculture,

"In the afternoon the seventh and eighth grade and district tfeachers were given a lecture in agriculture by Superintendent Haines. Following this Miss Colbert spoke oh

Child's

Preparation for Reading." She said^: "The first preparation the child has oomes through expression and imitation. He learns objects by sight. Then comes the visionary instinct. He learns letters, then constructs them Into words and finally into sentences ana paragraphs. A great deal can be accomplished by story telling."

In taking up his subject, "The Fear Factor in Education," Dr. Henderson attempted to make clear that he was not making a plea for the rule of fear in schools, but he tried to emphasize 1 ''9 fact that in the physical, intellectual and moral life of the Individual, ,-jfear is an ever present and dominating factor. It can be used in the education a child provided such use does not beyond the rational limit, he said.

STREET WORK IS ORDERED.

The board of works Monday passed a resolution calling for the placing of sidewalks and curbings on Twontysecond street from Locust street to Eighth ajvenue. Notice will be served upon the property owners to construct their sidewalks and curbings within thirty days. The work was ordered, following the receipt of a petition from property owners on the street.

LIBRARY CELEBRATING IT'S 9TH ANNIVERSARY

Book Stacks Have Grown Apace With Development of City and Her People.

Nine years ago this week the Emeline Fairbanks library opened its doors to serve the book l(5vers and Information seekers of Terre Haute. "It was nine years ago Friday since we moved in," Mrs. Sallie Hughes, librarian, said. "I've, watched the circulation grow from that time when I had but three helpers to the present when I have seven here at the library, four at the branch libraries and two substitutes, making eleven. "Many people have come to recognize the library as a public servant aside from the books it affords. Wo waht it to be more so all the time. We wish that everybody would use the library.

Jn. this capacity. Information Bureau. 'For instance, anyone wishing to get any- statistics may do so by calling the library. A man called us yesterday wanting to know the size of the standing army of the United States. We are ready to give any such information and are only top glad to do it. We regard it as an important function of the library. "We have had persons call up wanting to know how to spell certain words. Some want to know th$ meaning of words."

In the past nine years, the library work has been ..so systematized that each employe understands just what she has to do.

Because the old sewer was not large enough to carry off the water from the roof of the building rapidly enough, a new one Is being Installed at the Fairbanks library this week. The severe and continual summer rains have caused an overflow on the ground about the library which It allowed to continue', would damage the foundation.

It is planned also to paint the downstairs of the library, which has never been done, after the ground about the building is dried out.
