- Among the good things said at
the opening of the institute on
Wednesday night are the follow
ing, by Prof h. B. Baldwin:
' "Educational methods must be
sought ,. in human . experience. .'.
Education is more than method;
it involves also, determination,
resistance and character. Edu
cation is more than merely, com
mitting to memory, it. involves
also assimilation. The will of
the boy must not be broken, it
must be directed. Education is
not simply a process, it is also a
product. Teachers must not
oaly impart infrmation.and cor
rect erroneous ideas, but inspire,
give life and interest to dull sub
jects. Education has always
been the forerunner of all changes
for the better in our social, polit
ical and inventive national life."
In his address on "Primary
Readine " Prof.- Travers ad
vanced the idea that it is better
for the child to learn the 125
phonetic principles than 2700
words during the first four years
of his school iife. -That under
the old system he will read 125
pages during his first term but
under the phonetic method he
will read 4.00 the first term and
jooo the second ter m.
