cation. A recent survey carried
by the county office shows that the
“philosophy of the’ teachers of Erie
county is a middle of the road phil>

philosophy,” added the superintendent, as he said that Erie county
teachers believe that the school fc
made for the child and not the child
for the school.
In a survey made by questioning
over five thousand parents, Mr. Pratt
discovered most interestingly “that
97% of the parents thought that
school children should visit the farm;
the factories and the stores.”
In concluding his address to the
members of the fraternity, the Erie
county superintendent said that sec­

Dr. Carmon Ross, president of the
college, spoke briefly in concluding
the meeting. Polnt.ng out that there
are 600,000 high school pupils in
Pennsylvania—an increase of 500%
in the last ten years—Dr. Ross stat­
ed ‘The American high school is the

has developed.”

Still dark from the shadow of winter.
Cast on the wind a handful of earth
Rich with the rains of April.

For the days of silence are gone,
And in the garden the sun-dial
Measures again the luminous hours.
