Campbell of the University of Oregon
" delivered an Important address. To
night at C o'clock the teachers will go
. on a moonlight excursion on the Wil
lamette on the steamer Leons.
B. F. Mulkey presided this morning.
' He Introduced President Campbell of
, the elate university, who spoke on
, "Some Economic Values In Education."
' Me particularly dwelt upon the fact that
. the men, whether day-laborers or finan
' ciera, with the highest and best educa
'.' tlon are the ones who bring the greatest j
results to Industry. He gave several
reasons showing why the welfare of a
community depended upon the average
Intelligence of Its Inhabitants, among
which were statistics showing the
marked decrease In serious crime In
states where the Intellectual advantages
have reached a high degree of perfec-
i tlon, and he called attention to the fact
that all great undertakings are today
'placed In -the hands of practical, edu-
' cated economists.
; ' The reason for the low standard of

dent Campbell says. Its youth. We are
at tha beginning of the development of
. the commercial and agricultural re
sources of tha state, he said. "The re
sources are here, what we need Is more
competent men and women to carry on
'., the work which is to be accomplished.
; W. W. Parsons spoke on The Nature
of the Child's Organism as a Respon
- sirs Reactive Agent With Educational
, Principles." He holds that the way to
; bring- a child to thoroughly understand
a subject Is to forcefully Impress upon
. Its mind by practical Illustration..
Oraee M. E. church last night was an
agreeable change from the close, warm
assembly room of tha Portland High
- School as a meeting place for the mem
bers of tha Oregon State Teachers' as-
. sociatlon. ., A -cordial welcome was ex
tended by Herman Wittenberg, D. A.
Grout and the Portland Teachers club.
. The auditorium " was decorated with
ferns and flowers and during the even-
' lng musle was furnished by Wllder's or-
' chestra.
Mr. Wittenberg, with bis frequent
bursts ofjnumor, called forth much ap-
plauso from his listeners and his ideas
on tha salary question were enthusias
tically applauded by the local teachers.
. He said: .! am in favor of .advancing
tha salary of every teacher' In Oregon,
provided they deserve It. The feeling
Is strong; that wa do not pay our
teachers . enough,, not ss much, in fact
. as other towns on tha Pacific coast are
in tha habit of paying their teachers.
Taxpayers and- business , men have ap
proached ma on the subject and have ex
pressed themselves in favor of doing as
much as other places in this respect, and
, X believe that it is but a matter of time
before wa will accomplish the and de
sired. , ---
"But the teachers must be of the best.
We want the best material only, and you
must not think that the directors do net
know who the poor ones are or the ones
who do not take a proper Interest In
their pupils. ' There ap. few principals
who have not the moral courage to report
a teacher's faults, but we find them out.
. anyway, and when It becomes necessary
to weed them out, we do so, although it
Is a disagreeable task. So let me cau
tion you, and please accept the caution
In the friendly manner in which It Is
given. - Do your best at all times and ot
all times feel a deep Interest in your
work.-
Mr. Wittenberg's welcome to the vis
itors was responded to by the vice-
president, K. V. Llttleneld, who took oo
casion to review the gradual improve
' raent in classified school work in the
west and tha. good things which the
teachers' institute has accomplished.
Mr. Llttlefield, who presided over the
evening session, then Introduced Presl
dent D. A. Grout of Portland, whose
subject was The Natural Child." He
said:
This fourth annual meeting of the
western division of the Oregon State
Teachers' association is one of which
we all are proud. So large Is the at
tendance, - so great Is the enthusiasm.
ana so excellent do the lectures and dls
cussions promise to he. that every
teacher present must receive much hefp
and InsDiratlon.
"Our fnlth in the future will ba
strengthened. Faith we must have
genial; Intolerant of all scrimped work,
of a uniform .disposition- and an Ideal
story-teller.
"During the next ten years the long
and dangerous period of adolescence-
there should be less of tha drill master
and more of tha confldunf and friend,
that the better side of tha Individual
personality of tha child may bo devel
oped. Now are developing rapidly the
feelings and amotions. Now is there
marked growth In height aqd weight.
Now Is Irresistible the deslra to know,
to do, to be, what a man or woman
knows, does or Is. Now, of all times,
should parent and teacher ba able to
win tha. child's confidence, to; sympa
tic with his life ambitions and to know
him heart to heart. Unless they do.
there Is great danger of his shipwreck.
These are matters vital to tna wei
fsra and progress of our children, and
I commend them to your serious con
sideration. On Froebel's tomb is this
Inscription: 'Let us live for our chll
dren;' an excellent motto. It seema to
me. for all parents and teachers. But
to live properly for them wa must first
know and understand them, and then
inM liarifMaf anri aitpd tlmA are ao far
separated. Wa shall leave this meeting make this knowledge the basis ofhelr
mors determined to win the minds or eaiicauun.
the children from the domain of Ignor
ance.
"To do this best w must know chll
dren better than we know books. I
need, therefore. offr no apology for
choosing for the president's annual ad
dress the topic: The Natural Child.'
"In Froebel's writings is this remark
able sentence: 'Every child is a child of
Ood. a child of humanity and a child
ot nature.'
Could we fully comprehend thl
statement and had we the ability to use
the knowledge to the best advantage in
teaching. I doubt not that our schools
would take such a forward Step as
would astonish the world.
"No one has been able to fathom the
full meaning of this declaration. As
the offspring of nsture the child Is
wholly unconscious of Its threefold
parentage. Ia. It saying too much to
assert that. In the majority of cases
the child grows to maturity and dies of
old age without any adequate conscious
ness of these three parent sT But the
teacher who does not see this relation
ship Is a blind leader.
The final purpose of education Is to
bring the child Into a consciousness of
his relations to nature, to humanity and
to Ood.
"All child study should have for Its
purpose the discovery of the process by
which this can best ba dona In this
brief talk I shall not ba able to discuss
this toplo at all exhaustively.
A Child of Ood.
"In every norma human being there
lives a desire for better and nobler
things. This has made possible the ad
vancement and elevation of mankind.
The all-wise Creator has seen lit, also,
to make Individuality a distinctive char
acterlstlc of every living thing. Tha
fact that, or the millions born, no two
are exactly alike, shows that tha infinite
Ood has given infinite Individuality to
his created beings. So Individualised
are we that no two of us have even
thumb-prints alike.
A pleasant. social hour was spent In
the church parlors after tha conclusion
of .the sneaking. The orchestra dis
coursed muelo while they partook of
Ices. The Portland teachers did all In
their power to make the visitors feel
at home, and seemed to succeed.
The crowd present at the . afternoon
session was very demonstrative. The
program was opened by professor E. L.
Kessler, who spoke on the "Oregon Sys
tem of Education."
State Superintendent J. H. Acker-
man delivered a strong argument in
support of higher salaries for teachers.
Service and Salary" was the title of
his speech, end he Interspersed his ar
guments with numerous personal expe
riences. He sdvlsed the teachers to
personally conduct a campaign for
higher salaries.

ers on The Effect of tha Teachers

follows
