must be present if results are to be obtained. "It is the purpose of the
school lo develop purpose," he stated. Traces Development Dr. Courtis traced the movements of education from the pre-Revolution-ary period by giving examples of what was believed necessary to . education in the several outstanding periods of education. He exploded the old theories which- contended that the brain .at a child Was a b'.artk," and impressed the' need of recognizing that each child has an aptness and pur
pose for things which must be cultivated. " , "If children are working for the natural outcome from schooling, that is the project method," was the way -Dr. Courtis defined the system. He "said that if they were striving for '"-points or marks and not the logical -result, they were not practicing the project method, but were only working because of a stimulus. Throughout his address he advocated direct 'application for a . purpose, and condemned application without purpose. A film was shown, illustrating the project method, at the afternoon meeting. Teachers were invited to ask questions and enter into a general "round table discussion.

FRANCE TO EXTEND, GERMAN OCCUPATION IF COUNTRY FAILS (By Associated Pres PARIS. April 16 Occupation of more German territory by French forces should the Germans fail to meet the allied demands for the payment of 12,000,000.000 gold marks by May 1, may go beyond the Ruhr district and include at least a part of the Industrial section of Westphalia, it is declared by the Echo de Paris.

economic element was worthy of equal
consideration. The marshal is declared to have held that the first advance
by French forces should be carried

If you come, everybody will come, and we can have our swimming pool, so please come." - In a postscript, John said: "Please write me a letter and let us know.

"My dear John: I received your let
ter this morning saying that the boys were very much disappointed because they had heard I could not attend the ball in the interest of your swimming pool fund. I am exceedingly glad you

I do not want the boys to think I am
not interested in their getting a swim

pools myself, in my time, and ther
are one or two swimming pools in the creek, out near Caledonia, O., that I would like to get into again right now.
