Tte New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Tfiursday Morninjr, May 2, 1929 PAGE THREE EDUCATORS ST. NORMAL MELT Dr. William H. Qurham is Outstanding Speaker at Educational Affair Federal Agents Seize Bootleg Plane z MONMOUTH. May 1 The edu cational conference, centering about "The Curriculum," which took place Saturday at the Oregon Normal School, was attended by nearly 1,000 teachersand educa tional workers of tbe state, and was one of the most successful events of the sort to be sponsored here during ' the present school year. The outstanding speaker. Dr. William H. Burnham, professor of pedagogy and school hygiene at Clark university, Worcester, Mass., since 1906, was heard in general assembly in the anditori nm on "The Wholesome Person ality," at the morning session. Dr. Burnham's address was replete with suggestive thought-provok-lng Ideas for the parent and the layman, as well as for the teacher; and through the deep seriousness f his commentations an occa sional flash of quaint humor lent dramatic emphasis to some speci fic statement. William A. King, principal of the B. F. Day school, the largest elementary school in Seattle, pre sented "A Symposium on Read ing," with clarity and appeal. Mr. King, who received his master's degree from the University of Washington, was a classmate there of Dr. Arne S. Jensen of the normal faculty. He is author and co-author of several useful books pertaining to the teaching of reading and diverse elementary school projects. - Miss Myrtle Carnes, of Stock ton, Cal., a talented specialist in kindergarten and primary educa tion, reached a most appreciative audience with her presentation of "Reading and Literature Out grows of an Activity Program." By means of vivid description she caused her listeners to visualise very definitely the specific exam ples she chose to depict; and her story of a little boy under ber supervision who hated reading from a certain reading text, but was led, through his love for a dog, to so freely express his thoughts and ideas that he was - -enabled to build up a book from his own plainly stated sentences, was a feature of unusual Inter est. Miss Carlotta Crowley, ele mentary supervisor of the Salem schools introduced Miss Carnes, and presided during that section hour. The general assembly of the morning was opened with a vocal trio number featuring Misses Vir ginia Parkes, Margaret Scruggs and June Thiering, with Miss Eli sabeth Horning at the piano. Mrs. Blanche Leicester followed with two vocal solos. Their renditions, under direction of Mrs. Sylvia Belden, member of the school mu sic faculty, gave much pleasure President J. S. Landers presided Dr. Burnham delivered his sec ond address of the day, "Success and Failure in relation to Mental Health," stressing the importance of providing a child with a def lnite task to accomplish each day, and the imperative necessity to avoid methods of robbing the child of that task. He also made a plea to stop blaming children; and to give each child a meritori ous mark daily as tbe needed en couragement to increase stimuli for achievement. Sections Have Meetings Four sections occupied the re mainder of the afternoon: being arranged as follows. Section 1 Administration, was presented by Superintendent C. A. Rice of the Portland schools, in an address, "The Administration of the New . Curriculum" in a Platoon School Another section at this time also featuring administration was ad dressed by W. A. Kiag-who spoke on "The Principal as a Curricu lum Guilder." Section 2, was conducted by Su perintendent C. A. Howard with an address: "Character Education in the New Curriculum," Section 3, Primary. At this time Miss Carnes offered "What is meant by an Activity Curricu lum?" Section 4, Intermediate, was conducted by Delmer R. Dewey, director of training schools of the Oregon Normal School, who pre sented. "Creative Activity in the New Curriculum." Dr.. B. W. DeBusk, director of educational research at the uni versity of Oregon, led a section de voted to mathematics; and Super intendent James T. Hamilton pre sented "Social Science in the New Curricjilum."
