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 ;" 1. 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 Va-fS rr-. t ' 4 ; - - i ;r;i The Great Andltorium at Ocean Grove, N. J., Seating 10,000, Woer lreWent Itooserelt Will Addrefca the N. E.

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 1 . I - r it i ? BEACH AT ASTBTJKY PARK, 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 ics bufficient to meet tie new demands : .1 - i - , t ,i . that have arisen. How ean courses in 4 5 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 8 " '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). .... l . . . , nucn apparatus as ne can oe reason1 ably expected to make. .uany uicouraging conuuiorH were met with in the introduction of this course in wience.
