Terry, Paul W.: Extra-curricular Activi- 122 pp. Business methods in teaching.-"Teaching is by no means a commercial enterprise, and yet the body of material connected with it is far too great to be retained in memory and much too valuable to be thrown away. If an act on the part of the teacher when once performed was no longer of any use, one would be justified in forgetting it and in failing to make a record of it. But such is frequently not the case. Each act of teaching or of classroom management, each item of information about the children of a given class, every plan made, and every item of teaching material collected, is as likely to have bearing upon future action as the correspondence which a business firm files so carefully." -R. B. BUCKINGHAM, Research for Teachers The public-school teacher may no longer ignore politics.-"It is idle to say that the most important subjects affecting social welfare are too abstruse for adolescent minds, when pupils in our grammar and high schools are presented daily with situations, national and international, which call for a knowledge of history and geography, science and economics, political economy and sociology. Some problems of trade and transportation, of capital and labor, of political policy and international relations must be faced in the modern school. I mention these in particular because they are the most perplexing of all the problems that the teacher meets. They cannot be ignored; they must be honestly and impartially treated." -JAMES E. RUSSELL A REVIEW FOR SUPERINTENDENTS S. D. SHANKLAND [Here every month the Secretary of the Department of Superintendence, National Education Association, 1201 16th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C., tells us the news.] P LANNING the Texas Convention. During a two-day visit to Dallas, President Condon completed general arrangements for the Fifty-Seventh Annual Meeting of the Department of Superintendence, February 26-March 3, 1927. Program plans, exhibits, housing, meeting places, publicity, local committee work, information service, dinner arrangements, transportation, and musical features were among the numerous matters to which he gave attention. He was accompanied by Joseph E. Maddy, supervisor of music at Ann Arbor, Michigan, Director of the National High School Orchestra; Walter Aiken, director of music, Cincinnati, Ohio; H. A. Allan, and S. D. Shankland of the headquarters staff at Washington. The convention proper will open with a Vesper Service at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, February 27, at the Southern Methodist University. Dr. George W. Truett, well-known pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, will be the speaker. General sessions are scheduled for the mornings of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the evenings of Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and the afternoon of Thursday. The annual business and executive meeting, for members of the Department of Superintendence only, is Tuesday morning. On Monday afternoon, the superintendents in discussion groups will consider a dozen or more important educational problems. Section meetings are scheduled for Tuesday afternoon with groupings as follows: state superintendents, county superintendents, assistant superintendents, business managers, superintendents of cities under 10,000 population, superintendents of cities 10,000 to 100,000, superintendents of All Texas Claims It.-Doctor Winship has suggested that this Convention belongs to the entire state of Texas. There is much reason reason for his contention. The Texas school people are making their headquarters at Fort Worth in order that visitors from other states may be more comfortably entertained in Dallas. To surrender one's claim on comfortable hotel accommodations in the convention city is a real test of hospitality. Our Texas friends are setting an example such as few states are likely to have the courage to follow. In a recent editorial, Doctor Winship says in part: |
