SCHOOLS TEACH MORALITY SI7FERIXTEXDEXT TELLS MIX ISTERS OF COURSE. Konesty and Generosity, Together AVith Good Sportsmanship, Fun damentals of Movement. Teaching of morality in the public schools of the city was outlined by Professor D. A. urout, superintendent of schools, at a meeting of the Pres byterian Ministers' association yes terday in First Presbyterian church. "Study of the Bible has not been a prescribed- course in our public schools for nearly 100 years," said Professor Grout. "We are teaching right . moral purposes, however, through three methods. The first is by providing stories for class reading in which honesty, generosity and other moral qualities are presented in a way that will affect pupils through their own intelligence and Judgment. This method is naturally of particular benefit in the grada schools. "The second plan is through en couraging games and recreation. This satisfies the natural desire for play and teaches the lessons of good sportsmanship. "The third method Is through per son'al contact with teachers. This is done by having a dean of girls in school, and vice-principals who act as deans of boys. Professor Grout's address was fol lowed by an open discussion of t' subject by ministers present.
