T he second annual electrical show was given in the engineering- build ing Friday and Saturday under the direction of the physics department. that have T he show, like others been given by other departments this year, was given mainly for its educational value. A few manu facturers of electrical and mechan ical apparatus sent appliances, and not only put their products before the people, but rendered aid in mak ing the show a success. the electrical laboratory had been installed several pumps made by the Jarvis Engine Co., of Lan sing, and a front wheel of an elec tric truck made by the Couple Gear F r e i g ht Vehicle Co., of Grand R a p ids. One of the pumps was mount ed tank, in which a pressure is created by forc ing water into it. T he air pressure acted upon a governing device in the such a manner as to disconnect current, thereby making the mechan ism automatic. in connection with a In itself 33 h. p. motor, fed T he truck w h e el contained with in from the current of an SS volt storage battery.

T he judging pavillion of the new Agricultural building has proved itself to be useful in a verv different wav from that for which it was orig inally intended, namely as an audi torium. Twice Friday it was filled to its fullest capacity and many re mained outside. It was estimated that about sixteen hundred persons heard each of the contests of the Michigan Oratorical League during- the day. T he pavillion was very beauti fully decorated in white bunting, seventy or more pedants of the various colleges of the country and the seats in the llowers. Above cast end the platform had been con structed and decorated with flags and flowers. five T he third annual women's contest T h e re was held in the afternoon. were contestants : Grace Bellamy, of Ypsilanti; Lulu M. Laforge, Albion; Laura Sebring, Alma ; Katherine Mauk, Hillsdale ; and Erriily Gardner, Kalamazoo. Miss Katherine M a uk of Hills dale won first prize on the subject, " Our P a rt in World Peace." Miss Emily Gardner of Kalamazoo won second on the subject of " Ameri canism." As a third number on rendered the program Prof. Patten a vocal solo. T he judges of this contest were Prof. H. G. H o u g h t o n, A nn A r b o r; Prof. L. L. Forsythe, St. Louis, M i c h .; Prof. W. W. Florr, A nn A r b o r; Chas. F. David son, Allegan, Mich, and R e v. Joseph Dutton, of Greenville, Mich. T h e ir decision w as not handed in until evening when it was announced with the decision on the men's con test. All the orations both by the women and the men deserve much praise. Certainly oratory in Mich igan is not on the wane. T h at fact was well shown by the number of interested listeners who turned out and the winners in which the ora torical ability showed itself. W i th few exceptions all the orations were real live messages from the heart. Nearly every national or world wide movement was fully discussed. T h e re w as much jubileeing a nd yelling by all the colleges previous to the beginning of the men's con test in the evening. M. A. C. h as long boasted of its ability to make a noise, but it hardly made a s h o w i ng against the thousand other lusty less when Hope voices, and much actually noise real maker. T h o se w ho heard it will not forget it. " s p r u n g" a M r. K. D. V an Wagenen, of M. A. C. was the first to speak. His address w as on " T he N e w er J u s tice." By " n e w er justice" he meant the kind of justice that has been so T he M. A. C. RECORD. much advocated by J u d ge Lindsey, the justice which has for its aim reformation and not punishment. No other In substance subject was touched upon so often as that of Universal Peace. this was the subject of the second oration by M r. Albert Riddering, of Ypsilanti. Mr. Riddering pointed out the na tional ideals of several great world powers of the past, and showed h ow those ideals "had either worked for the preservation or downfall of the nation. T he J e w s, he said, had given to the world the idea of God, the Greeks the idea of a rt and phi law and losophy, the R o m a ns government, and the Teutons industry, vivacity and wit. He showed h ow justice had evolved from murder to courts, and w ar from crude savagery to present methods. These he used as partial illustrations to show America's natural adapta tion to the movement for univer sal peace. He said sums for w ar were now appropriated so great they failed to im press us. Russia's people are dy ing by the thousands of malnutri tion, and yet she is appropriating millions for w a r. He pointed out the greatest weakness of several na the great sums tions and named they were appropriating yearly. that that Mr. Riddering, like A n d r ew Carnegie, would some twelve good colleges for each dread- carrying put more naught fully the policy of free education. substitute thus " Our Heritage from Slaver}- " was the subject of the third oration by M r. C. C. Ritz of Olivet. M r. touched upon a very vital Ritz question of today, that of the race problem. His solution of the prob lem was no far-fetched scheme, merely the doctrine of humanitarian- ism scientifically applied. C. T. Queen of Adrian, spoke upon the subject of " World Wide Peace." Mr. S. H. H o we of Albion won first place on the subject, " T he N ew Ideal." He started his oration with an entirely n ew definition of civilization. He said, " T he history of civilization is a record of the changes of ideals." T he ideals of the young men of a nation determine the nation's future and that the youths seek their ideals among the more humble men of the nation. " T he building of a world wide brother hood is the measure of the new ideal." M r. H o w e 's address was certainly a very eloquent message. " T he Beacon L i g ht of M e n" was the title of the sixth oration by H. A. Drake of Alma. T he second prize w as won by G. C. Converse of Hillsdale on " T he Evolution of a H i g h er Patriotism." Another very patriotic discourse was given by A. L. Yerhulst of Hope on the subject, "Columbia T r i u m p h a n t ." One of the best discussions of the evening was given by M r. L. J. Williamson (colored) of Kalamazoo on " T he Sovereignty to L a w ." If Air. Williamson had chosen a subject of more vital interest to his race he might have easily proved himself another Booker T. Wash ington. W i th the philosophical subject he had he easily showed ex cellent oratorical ability.

T he program of t he recent con vention of the National Education Association at Denver was remark able for all the attention given to industrial education. Nearly one- half of all the papers, addresses and reports presented at the convention dealt on some direct way with one or more phases of industrial educa tion. So decidedly did this subject dominate all others in the papers and discussions of t he general ses sion and the different department meetings that it shows clearly the most universal demand for the re organization of the public school curricula along the lines, giving greater emphasis to local industrial affairs—agriculture, and domestic manual arts and home economics. It might also be said that the desir ability of introducing such work as rapidly as possible into the regular work of the public schools was taken for granted, and the problems troubling those w ho attended the. Denver convention related to meth ods, administration and the training of teachers. T h e re was also considerable dis cussion on the purpose and value of industrial teaching. T he purpose, it was quite generally agreed, is not so much to uplift agriculture or manufacturing or business, as it is to raise the level and increase the efficiencv and happiness of those engaged in these pursuits. T h is was brought out by L. D. Harvey in his presidential address, in which he maintained that industrial educa tion is more than education for skill in industrial processes. "Industrial education," he said, " has for its pur pose the acquiring of a body of us able knowledge of greater or less extent related to industrial condi tions, processes, organizations, and to the administration of industrial involving t he gaining of affairs some skill in the use of such knowl edge and the securing of mental, training aesthetic through the acquisition and use of the knowledge indicated." ethical and T h is interpretation of the pur pose of industrial education was also adopted by J a m es W. Robertson, president of Macdonald College, in his address on "Education for the Improvement of Rural Conditions." He maintained that the purpose of education in rural schools is not pri marily to make a bigger steer or a bigger ear of corn, but to make a better home for a better child." " T he whole idea of education," in his opinion, "is to make the earth an ideal home for the race," and this will not be accomplished by train ing for culture, the kind of culture popularly defined by the words "leisure, idleness," but through the refining influence of la bor, labor which gives the boy a indolence, it. To thrill as he looks upon his work,' sees that it is well done, and realizes that he h as done realize such an ideal in education, Dr. R o b ertson believes that we must shift the emphasis from the. "three R ' s ," from letters to training for life in the locality. T he problem of relating the country schools more closely to the life and needs of the people was dis cussed more at length in the de partment of rural and agricultural round- education, especially in a table conference which was attended by D r. Robertson and other leading educators w ho have identified them selves with rural school interests. T h is problem, as stated by D. J. Crosby, leader of this conference, involves both a fuller scheme of ed ucation and a new kind of education adapted to the real needs of the farming people. trained "Such a scheme of public educa tion," in his opinion, "calls for larger school units, to the end that the per capita cost of education may not be unduly increased when we provide better material equipment, better and better paid teachers, and higher grades of in struction within daily reach of the It homes of all rural children. calls for instruction in the principles and practice of agriculture and home economics in the rural public schools, and for the establishment of a lim ited number of new special schools of agriculture and home economics. It demands a new point of view in teaching the subjects now generally included in the public school curric ulum, to the end that nonessentials shall be eliminated aud greater concreteness effectiveness and shall be acquired through problems and the illustrations drawn from farm, the home, and the common things in the natural environment of the children. And, finally, it must have the united support of national, state, educational county agencies, the bureaus and depart ments of education, the departments of agriculture, the state universities and colleges of agriculture, the state normal schools and the various as sociations of farmers and teachers, to study the pedagogical and practical problems involved in the redirection of country life education. T h at the problems are vast and complex no one will deny, that they are worth the best efforts of our most profound students of education is equally be yond question of doubt." and It w as along these lines mainly that the discussion proceeded both in the conference and in the other two sessions held by the department of rural and agricultural education, and there was practical agreement between the details of the different papers and discussions and the essential factors of the summarized statement made by the leader of the conference. Another matter which was dis cussed pro and con at this conven tion related to the establishment of special agricultural schools, but t he different papers w e re presented at times and such widely different places that it was difficult to get at the consensus of opinion. T he matter came up first in the depart ment of manual training where the separate question of establishing trade schools was under discussion and President K e rr of the Oregon Agricultural College, argued against separate trade schools for agricul ture. Later, in the department of secondary education, Dean Daven- (Oontinued on page 3) The M. A. C. RECORD.

SOME ALUMNI ON AGRICULTUR AL HIGH SCHOOLS. T he last meeting of the Hort. Club was addressed by one of its own members, M r. J. G. France, on "Carnation Breeding." M r. France is a member of the class of 1911 and a very careful observer of plants. In addition to this he has had a large experience in the M. A. C. greenhouses. T he varieties of carnations keep running out and the florist must keep constantly breeding new ones. Besides, there is not a good white or dark red variety on the market today. Realizing these conditions, members of the Hort. class of 1908 started the crossing of the varieties in our greenhouses and the breed that ing of the progeny. time M r. France has continued the work.

To make it still more interesting he brought over a number of flowers to illus trate the different crosses. After the talk a pleasant social time was enjoyed and Battle Green ing apples served. D r. Beal returned last week from a few days' visit with Chicago Alumni. About eighty M. A. C. men and women gathered at Lewis Institute and enjoyed a real good time. D r. Beal, Dean Bissell, Prof. Kedzie, and M r. and M r s. R ay Stannard Baker were present from here. (Continued from page 2.) port, of the University of Illinois, read a paper in which he presented arguments against the establishment of special agricultural high schools, on the ground instruction in that agriculture should be given in the public high schools, that the courses in special schools must of necessity, be narrow, and that the tendency of such schools would be to "peasant- ize" the farmers as the agricultural schools had done in Germany. there T h e re was no opportunity at that time for the discussion of Dean Davenport's paper, but on the fol lowing day, in the department of education, rural and agricultural some of his leading arguments were discussed by those w ho believe in the establishment of agricultural high schools. Briefly the points brought out were to the effect that is general argument while that agriculture should be taught in all public high schools attended by rural pupils, there is also a pressing demand and need for a limited num ber of special agricultural schools for the accommodation of boys who have definitely made up their minds that they want to follow the busi ness of farming, and that while it is true that some of the work in such schools must of necessity be nar rower than in the public schools, the instruction in agriculture gains greatly in breadth and thoroughness as well as in the superior laboratory equipment, animals, machinery, and other facilities needed in the teach ing of agriculture. T h e re is also abundant such opportunity schools to provide for short special courses to meet the needs of the bov of limited time and means. in Dean Davenport's arguments that such schools would peasantize farmers was answered by showing that the farmers in Germany, to whom he referred, were peasants long before the establishment of agricultural schools in that country, and that they were peasants not be cause of the establishment of agri cultural schools, but in spite of the uplifting influence of such schools. It was also pointed out that there is a difference between the influence of a school which pupils are compelled to attend and those which they at tend from choice. In this country the greatest freedom of choice is given in the selection of courses by pupils attending city schools ; there should be similar freedom for the country boy. T he influence of the special agricultural school which the country boy may attend or not as he may choose, must inevitably tend toward the uplift of those w ho profit by its instruction and subse quently engage in the business of farming. T he reorganization of the depart ments of the National Educational Association and their reduction to less than half the former number, was undoubtedly a wise measure.

T h us practically all general matters relating to the elementary schools will be considered in the department instead of of elementary education in two departments (kindergarten and elementary education) as form erly. T h is is largely true also of general matters relating to second ary education and higher education. On the other hand ample provis ion is made in such departments as music education, professional train ing of teachers, and industrial edu cation, for the consideration of im portant special phases of education. For example this grouping of spe cial subjects brings together those interested in agricultural education, manual training, home economics, and technical instruction w ho form erly were much inconvenienced by conflicting programmes. This new to be highly arrangement ought satisfactory to all concerned. All of tlie subjects included in the new department of industrial education are Closely related, and their consid eration in one department where such relationship will have to be recognized will have a tendency to harmonize and correlate work which has thus far suffered from conflicts which were much more apparent than real.
