MORE EDUCATORS HEARD
Willitm Schuyler Speaks Upon the
Qualifications Necessary to Become
Efficient in That Particular Branch of
Educational Wotk.
Asbury, X. J., July 4 The second
day of the National Educational con
vention opened with an attendance that
exceeded the most sanguine hopes of
those who have planned the session
The day was principally devoted to rou
tine work. In the intervals, several
prominent educators were heard. Wil
liam Schuyler, assistant principal of the
William MTiinley high school, St. Louis
Mo, said:
For years schoolmasters have fath
ered together and dicued what they
should do for the children commltteo
to their charge. They have accomplish
ed much by these discussions, but they
should remember that "Charity begins
at borne,' and should sometimes con
sider the ever present question, what
shall they do for themselves! For the
success of the school depends mainly
upon the schoolmaster the schoolmaster
as a man not only a man of learning
and of executive ability, but more espec
ially as a man of the world. As his aim
is to fit his charges for life in the world
the world as it is, not as it ought to
be he must know this world thorough
ly. Ejnar!y is this true for teachers
secondary schools, many of whose
pupils are soon to mate their way in
the world equipped with what the school
;"

has gfren them. The oldest already
know something of thi worfd, and judge
their teachers moi-t severely if tHey
ichow igrwranee of it" The mere man of
books, "the pedant schoolmaster, has
been for ages the butt of satire and car
icature. This too common literary per
nonage should be supplanted by the
schoolmaster in his true part as "guide
counsellor, and friend." The school
master's influence depends more upon
what he is than upon what he knows.
He should be like those pilots who do
not know every reef, but whof barks
have never Icen wrecked. He should
be the nia-ter, not a slave of the world.
He can attain his mastery only by min
gling with men of the world and ty
learning from them. His acquaintances

and some of his close friends should be
men of very different life from his own.
In this way the schoolmaster can learn
to understand better the parents of his
pupils, and so understanding better the
pupils who are modelling themselves,
upon their parents. For atl his books
learning, all his skill in presentation
will be of little avail unless his pupli"ietry and calculus.
understand him and sympathize witfij "3. By the consideration of real set-
him and vice versa. The schoolmaster j entitle problems instead of the inanu-
must endeavor to be like St. Paul and
"become all thinks to all men, that he
may by all means save some."
Following Charles E. Corastock, pro
fessor of mathematics, Bradley Poly
technic institute, Teoria, 111., spoke. He
said:
"Mathematics is a method of science;
it is a language used in the expression
of scientific thought. It Is therefore es
sential to the stuJy of those science
which have attained the greatest de
gree of perfection, such as physics, as
tronomy and chemistry. A mathetical
training which does not fit student
for his subsequent work in science Is
a misdirected training. It is often a
far cry from the mathematics of the
schools to t' mathematics of eriouss

life. In school and college the empha-1
sis should be placed upon the efficiency i
o fmathematics, yet even keeping . in
mind that only through logical reason
ing truth can be found. In the college
of a hundred years ago mathematics
had but little bearing vpon the future
work of the student. Witk the develop
ment of the study of science there has
arixen a field which demands the uw of
mathematics not only in the college but
la the multudious pursuits requiring
technical training. A knowledge of
mathematics, then, becomes an essen
tial within a large realm of human activ
ities. There las not been a correspond-
nig cnaiifjr in me touik oi uiaiuruiai-i

that have arisen. How ean courses in

tt: k
mathematics lie organised to better meet
j the needs of science, pure and applied!
"1. By stripping them of artithial
' scholastic methods and giving a common
f sense mathematics,
j' "2. By an early introduction of tne
results and methods of higher math
ematics, especially of analytic geom-
factured riddles of the books.
"4. By the actual hauling of physi
cal phenomena thorough observation
and experiment.
"The position of mathematics as a
mental tonic would be strengthened
rather than weakened in thus replac
ing the cold formality of pure mutliemat
icul study by the invigorating study
of a live mathematics which is seen to
be a power. The student who has a
taste for pure mathematics will revie
inspiration for, as Fourier says; 'The
deeper study of nature is the most
fruitful seouree of mathematical study.'
Hugo Newman, principal of Public
school No. 33, The Bronx, New York
city, concluded the day. He spoke as
follows

" 'Elementary scieni' (physics) has
been introduced recently into the ele-
mentary .'hools of the City of New
York in the seventh and eighth grades
The aim of the course is to acquaint
the pupil with the fundamental laws
and principles of the science by the
experimental method; and to train him
into habits of carefully doing, cloe ob
servation, act-orate thinking and cor
rect expression.
''The pupil is required to do much
experimenting himself under the
teacher's guidance and direction, to
keep an accurate record of his work
and to construct, (in bis workshop).
