Th Indiana state teachers association beean its thirty-eighth annual session Tuesday evening in the hall of the houao of representative?. The meetinar was well attended, about three hundred beini? present. "V. W. Farsous, president of the state norma!, shoul J have been present to deliver the opnin? iuldres3, he Leinsr the retiring president of the organization, but owiujr to the d.-ath of his child, whom ho buried yesterday, he was unable to attend. The n. embers of the association fe?l a deep sympathy with him ia his Affliction. The meeting was opened by A. K. Harwood of Attics, who made a neat little ipeech, referring to th absence of I'rof. Tarpons and introducing the incoming preniiient, K. A. Bryan, who is at the head of Vincenn-s university. Mr. Bryan delivered a lengthy but wellprepared inaueural address. He covered the qucations'of liberal and elementary JKC"0 education in a very thorough manner, Ehowintr that he had given a thoughtful consideration and study to the many problems that vex educators of the present day. lie began as follows : The protl ?ns of liberal eduoation ara yet nrjaoivsd. Its courses of atody, its subjects and method, the relative work of preparatory end culiegmte schooli, its relation and elementary education, its ultimate vaiae to the individual, its wortn to the community: these are by no weans fully understood or aeratd upon, lireat ad ar.ee hau been made in the philosophy, fcietho.'.i and extent of elementary education. A glimpse at the motley tbrorijj of five hundred or more co leget attempting to bestow a liberal education would strengthen the doubt which has be;n cast upon our "system" of higher education. Perhaps it is this which has led to a practical infidelity in regard to liberal education. Those who conceive that it is no part of the business of the community toundertake the burden of higher educatian and who are skeptical ns to its results are not without faets which are worthy of consiileration. In 1VJ0 there were less than two thousand students in the four regular classes in all the Indiana college. By the census of the same year the slate's population was over two million. About 1-16 of 1 pr cent, were in eolleeea. Of these, one in eight was jrraduated in that year. Not quite a third our 2.000,000 of people were between the ages cf six and twenty-one, and one-fourth of the population was enrolled iu the common sahoois. Of this half-million children a pretty correct estimate shows that a little over 1 per cent, were in the high schools. In other words, 1 out of 400 people was in the hih school, 1 out o' 2,000 in the college and 1 u: of 8,000 was graduated from the college. There is no more patent fact, the ipeakvr said, than that many who have pa.-d through college have clone so without being liberally educated. Many alno Ere unfitted for the duties of life by the long course of study. It takes thirty years of one's lifa to go entiieiy through the course of modern education from the primary school up. It i3 therefore questionable whether the higher education is the best thing for every one. The ppeaker quoted f iuizot, who said that onetnird of the etudents of Europe ruin themeelves from overwork and die prematurely, another third are rendered impractical end of small benefit to the world, and the other third govern Europe. The speaker went on to demonstrate that although there was such skepticism regarding the usefulness of higher education, there was no doubt but that a few were greaty benefited, and that tbesa few exert a very great influence on the community. He thought that he higher eilucction should, therefore, be encouraged. Elementary education, he thought, was the best for tho."e who are seeking the means of gaining a livelihood. In speaking of the relation of high schools to colleges be said that higher education really began in the high echool. He thought however that the training in high school should be precisely the eame lor those desiring to enter business careers as for those preparing for college. He thought that work of colleges should be properly adjusted to permit of this. In closing he said: V.'e have need of many good eollejes and much good college work; we need few universities. The danger is in extreme specialization, and the basing of this specialization on little better than any elementary education. Narrowness, pedantry, a servile spirit are the outcome. No longer is it deemed desirable to have a little smattering of every science and art, and a genuine knowledge ot none; a tew typical lines carfully pun jed in connection with a survey of the whole field is the best. After the reading ot the address minor badness was disposed of. A committee of five will ba appointed by the president today to make nominations for the vacancies in the reading circle board. The membera from the various congressional districts of the state held separate meetings after the adjournment of the association, and nominated one name for each dißtrict to be a member of the committee on nomination of officers for the next year.

vise it plan Ifor this exhibit. This committee held a meeting and elected Prof. Smart of Purdue president and Dr. Mills of Earlham secretary. Many at the first meeting held to the idea of making one display for all the colleges, but it waa finally decided that each college should make its own exhibit. "Intercollegiate C'Usi Standing" was the subject of a talk by President Coulter of the ttate university. Ha urged that a certificate of specified work should be given

6tudents in going from one colleze to another. A resolution expressing these views, in a condenred form, was adopted by the convention. "The l'late of the Study of Religion in an Educational System" was the eubject of a paper by E. E. Starbuck of Vincennes, and "The Education Required for the Civil Engin er" was a paper prepared by M. A. Howe of Rose Foly technic. These were the leading papers of the morning. In the future the committee on nomination of officers will have the power to till vacancies, the constitution having been amended to tnis el'ect. The officers elected for the ensuing year were as follows: President. John II, 5lartin of Moore's Hill ; vice-president, Demarchus Brown of Butler; secretay, J. V Moncritf f Franklin; treasurer, A. 13. Milford of Wabash. Th college men thenadjourned. In the afternooit they attended section meetings. One of these convocations sails under the name of the Indiana philological society. It has for its executive committee the following: Amzi Atwater, Edward B. T. Spencer, Henry B. Langden and Robert A. King. Its session was held in the horticultural rooms at the capitol and was doubtless very interesting to the members. None but very technical subjects were handled, however. Gustaf Karsten of the State university spoke on the uso of the Indo-European "u" after consonants; Demcrchua C. Brown of Butler made an address on the optative mood in Lucian and Horace A. Hoffman of the State university spoke on the affinities between the Cireek cf St. John's gospel ami epistles and the modern tongue. The history and scientific section also held a session in the a ternoon. Th County Superintendents. The board of agriculture's rooms were crowded Tuesday by the county superintendents. The township trustees and others were attentive listeners to the proceedings. About sixty superintendents answered to the roll-call. President C. W. Osborne presided and Y. M. ioss was chosen for secretary. During the afternoon two themes were discussed, viz. : "Beet Method of Securing the Young People's Reading Circle Books and of Inducing Pupils to head Them," and "First Bi-Monthly Examination Reeuits and Influences." Upon the first theme the liscnssion was general. The prevailing sentiment expressed was that uniformity in books was best. Most of the speakers thought the towns-hip trustees should furnish one-half the purchase money for books for the reading circles and the pupüa the other half. It would be stretching the law somewhat for the trustees to do this, but by putting in O -ooks supplementary reading, such as school papers, etc., the technicalities of the law would be lived up to. Other methods of obtaining books for the circles were suggested, such as holding entertainments, etc. Upon the second theme of discussion the bi monthly examinations there was some spirited debate. Some three vears ago a uniform course of study for all the schools in the state was adopted, and the superintendents through a committee prepare questions for examination every two months. This system of uniforn examination has the tendency of keeping all the schools traveling along the eame road together. It was commended highly yesterday as "a great prompter." The following committees were selected : Executive committee John T. Snow, W. M. Mos?, IL F. Conover, John W. Davidson and Thomas A. Mott. Committee on resolutions Orange Apple, II. II. Loring, Enoch G. Machon, Charles H. West and W. H. Eichhorn. Committee on outlines of township institute work to report next June F. A. Colton, Thomas W. Culien, John H. Reddick, John W. Denny and John F. Morris. The meeting adjourned till 8 o'clock this morning. Tillage and Country Teachers. The Lall of the house of representatives was crowded Tuesday afternoon by the village and country school teachers. It was a remarkably large gathering of its kind. I'rof. E. A. ilutchins of Noblesville called the meeting to order and J. R. Meek of Fountain City was made secretary. W. S. Hiser of Centervil., president of the body, was absent, and his annual address was not forthcoming. The first paper of the afternoon was entitled "The Teacher's Influence," read by M. P. Goodykontz of Atlanta. It was a well-prepared effort. He said the teacher's work was that of preparing pupils for life. In order to exercise the proper influence overthe child the teacher should set a good example both in physical and intellectual morals. He emphasized the importance of primary training and discussed the motives that should actuate the teacher. The chief aim of a teacher should be to do good. C. M. Reagon of Moornville discussed the paper of Mr. Gooilykontz. Davui Wells of Carmel, Ind., read a paper on "Literature in the Common Schools." He said that more marked advance had been made in the field of literature in the common schools than in any other field. He thought that 'it was time that more attention wan paid to literature and dwelt on the great aid it is in training tne child and influencing him in becoming a good citizen. The prime object of the teacher ought to be to inspire in the pupils a love of good literature. "Educate them to educate themselves." "Libraries in Our Schools" wag the title of the last paper of the day. The author was F. McPiice of Oweniburg. He said that we are known by the books we read. The influence of a few good books can hadly be estimated. It is only in the field

of literature that the pupil is left unguided. The child is turned loose when it comes to books and is allowed to select what he pleases. He ought to be instucted in the careful selection of books and in a knowledge of how and what to read. B. E. Lllia of Carmel led the discussion. WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

The State Tsachers Illah Scheol Village and Country Hcliool Section. The State teachers' association met in adjourned session 'Wednesday in the hall of the house of representatives. The business transacted during the day consisted principally in the adoption of the constitution made last year. The College association will form a part of the organization next year in all probability. The initiation iees are fixed at $1 for men and 50 cents for women, and the annual dues are 50 cents. The following standing committees were appointed by President Bryan : On Resolutions C. M. Carpenter of Bloomington, ilibs tat r of Aurora and T. A. Mott of Richmond. On Teachers and Employment W. A. Bell of Indianapolis and J. N. titudy of Richmond. On .Mat Keadine: Ciroie V. W. Grant of Indianapolis, J. N. Wellington of Crawfordsvilie, R. J. Aley of Bloouiine;ton, Superintendent Ellis of Madison county and C. W. MoClare of Brooklyn. Another committee on world's fair is yet to bo appointed. The committee on nomination of officers met and decided ftupon the list of officers for next year, but they will not be announced until today. A reso ution passed indorsing the high school course of instruction as outlined by the state board of education. During the morning 8me very instructive pnpers were delivered. The first was written by Howland Saudis n of the State normal, but in his abseace it was read by A. R. Charmon. It was on "The Educational Value of Subjects." I'rof. W. W. Grant delivered the 6econd paper, entitled "E!ucational Value of Subjects in the Dili'erent Phases of Their Development." Both papers were thoroughly discussed. The association adjourned until evening when it was greatly entertained by Miss Mary A. Blood of the Columbia school of oratory of Chicago. Her subject was "A Plea for the Study of Expression in the Public Schools." She believed in teaching the emotions and inculcating sentiment of the high moral order. She thought the schools should have their patriotic festivals and memorial meetings, but a'so that the course f.hould contain wisely selected reading that would unfold in the character of the students that "wonderful God-giving power of expression," ami also the "love of truth, humanity :ind God." Her paper was replete with quotations and was excellent in every way as was her delivery. But the treat oi the evening was when she recited the chariot race from "Ben Ilur." The housj went into raptures over this rendition. An admission fee was charged at night to thos8 not members. Hlli School Tendier. The high school section met in the hall of the house of representatives at 1:30 p. m., Trof. "YY. E. Henry of Bloomington, Ind., presiding. Nearly a hundred educators in the higher branches of the public schools of the state were present. E. B. Bryan of Kokomo, F. M. Speaker of lxgansp"ort and S. B. McCracken of Bloomington were appointed a committee on nomination of officers; and W. W. Grant of this city, John A. Wood of Frankfort and H. W. Monical of Princeton on the high school world's fair exhibit. "Electives in High School" was the subject of the paper delivered by H. W. Monical of the Princeton academy. He eaid that much of the early history of the public schools ia the record of an aUempt to discover and apply some basal principle as the underlying thought in all education. This effort has resulted in two ?roducts, namely, system and method, he former has given uniformity in the course of study; the latter has to do with the presentation of the eubject matter of that course. "Reading and Literature" was the subject of the next paper, by Emily W. Peakes of the Terre Hauto high tchool. She said books contained the crystallized essence of the world's thought. The schools fail to give the child the ability to read early and we'L A child should lie a good reader at the age of ten. She said Whittier should be read "for love, gentlenees, truth, patriotism and faith in Gol." She was also fond of Ixmell's "Vision of Sir Launfal." Such books as these should be an important part of the school curriculum. Richard G. Boone, professor of pedagogies of the State university, was called forward by the chair and said that there had been prepared a circular by the State university to be sent out to the night schools throughout the state, asking the number and qualification of teachers, the kind and amount of work iu each line, the library ana other facilities and the character and after interests of graduates. These will be sent out immediately after ' the holidays and it is hoped will be soon returned to the university, where the statistics will be collated and returned to teachers for the common benefit. Then followed two lively technical papers on echool matters by P. V. Vörie of VlLl; - '-"CHS the Hagerstown schools and M. E. Crewell, profese-or of physics in the Indianapolis liigh school. The papers were well received and called forth some discussion. The committee on the nomination of officers reported as follows: President Mrs. Imogens Mowren, Warsaw. Vioe-Preident John A. Wood. Frankfort. Secretary II, W. MonieaL 1'rincetoo. Executive Committee 0. L, Kelso, J, S. Trent. Miss Kittie Palmer. The meeting then adjourned. linste of the Tent hers. The school officers' section of the association met in the afternoon in the agricultural rooms in the capitol. This body is composed principally of county superintendents and township trustees. About two hundred and fifty attended the session. President 8. N. Gold called the meeting to order and stated that the subject before the bodv was the educational exhibit from Indiana in 1893. Prof. W. N. II ail man, superintendent of the Lsporte schools, who is the new com

missioner on the educational display, gave the general plan of the exhibit. It will be divided into three parts historical, Etatictical and work display. Ho asked the co-operation of all tho officers and teachers in the state. A lively discussion followed, participated in by a score or more of thoe present. Mrs. Harrell of the educational committee said that the educational exhibit would receive what money it needed, but that owing to the emallnees of the appropriation the committee hopes to raise funds independent of the appropriation. The superintendent made flattering reports of the penny fund, and those who havo not had the fund taken up in their counties promised to make a double assessment on Feb. 11, the time of taking the second collection. The township institute law was also discussed in the afternoon, and on motion of S. J. Huston of Dearborn county the following resolution was passed: Resolved. That it is the sense of the meeting that the county Superintendent has the same rieht to revoke a renuwal license that he has to revoke other licenses. The state superintendent recently decided to this end. The attorney-general delivered a contrary opinion afterward on the same subject. The county superintendents will take charge of getting up the annual manual, etc. The meeting adjourned subject to tho call of the state superintendent. Village and Country School Section. The village and country echool section of the State teachers' association met in room 120 of the state houee at 2 p. m., W. 8. Hise of Centerville presiding. The chair announced J. A. Mathews of Hamilton county, John Roger3 of Hendricks county and E. D. Allen of Hancock county as the committee on nomination of officers. The first paper presented was on "Systematic Instruction," by W. C. Goble of Greene county, who presented many reasons why the instruction of the youth of the country should be prosecuted with systematic precision, and not in the careless, elip-shod manner, as is customary in many township and district schools at the present time. He gave many valuable suggestions to the assembled pedagogues, and closed with an appeal to the district echool teachers to remedy as far as possible any defects in the present system of instructing the children in the hamlets of Indiana. The paper on "Written Examinations" by Christian Danieleon of Elootniield was a very able exposition of the value of this method of procedure, to find out what know. edge a pupil had gained of his studies during the school term, and showed conclusively that it was preferable to tno old method of asking and answering prob-

The line of people extended from the portico through the grounds of the executive mansion and up Pennsvlvanhiave. for about a block. In numbe s th crowd compared favorably with previous years.
