In the recent meeting of th
National department of Superin
tendence at Cleveland Ohio, it waa
demonstrated beyond a doubt that
the cranks are not all dead.
Neither are they confined to the
lower positions. It is a wonder
how some meT with only one idea,
succeed in duping people. New
York, with all her boasted advance
in school matters, has some super
intendents that belong to the
colonial age. The report states
that the great majority of those
present were young and middle
aged men, but even some of the
younger men have no new ideas.
The same criticisms that have been
passed , -jii our county association
would apply equally as well to the
meeting of the Department of
supetintendents, i. e. that a few do
all the talking. However, the
work of the association is more
evenly divided because no ona
usurps bo much time as Bomeof the
Superintendents did. Dr. Harris
U. S. commissioner of education
read a of 70 pages on the "Correl
.if . T "
auon oi eiurues. . wiiat an
amount of patience and peraever-
an e was required to sit through
the reading of such a report, even
if it were the most interesting doc
ument ever read. The report was
severely handled. , Pres. De Garmo
referred to it as atextofsoms seven
ty odd pages with the sermon
omitted. - Following is tho report
of the committee on resolutions
which was unanimously adopted.
AS TO THE TBAIMXO OF TEACIIEKF.
Since the character of the teach
er sets the standard of the school

that the standard of scholarship
required of teachers should be high.
