| Show MEETING OF CITY TEACHERS Superintendent Cooper Talks on Influence In-fluence of Schools on Education The general meeting of teachers of the city schools held yesterday forenoon was ot great Interest to all concerned After a violin solo by Miss Esther Allen r Al-len Superintendent Cooper gave a most interesting talk on character Ho deplored t de-plored the feeling too prevalent that the schools seek rather for intellectual i training than the strengthening off I 1 of-f I moral fiber He said there was an Im I I mense margin between what Is and what ought to be but no one can predict I pre-dict what education will bo for the world in the next fifty years Something Some-thing still remains undone but we are working along the lines of what ought to be There are three questions we I should often nsk First Where character comes from SecondHow Is It found I I Thhd Who is responsible The world the air the sky the sea the home the school the church society SOCI-ety the street each says It is In me but In reality it Is bounded by the boundless sky of pitying love and by the unexplored domain of potentiality The sources of Ideas are in all these things and also In whdtever the child touches he finds his materials from which character Is built The school curriculum should consult a childs likes and ideals if education is to be influential and his character Is to be rightly built I The school is only one element In characterbuilding Mr Cooper objected object-ed to the Implied contention that the school Is solely responsible for the inculcation In-culcation of moral truth and tho making ma-king of moral fiber for back of all this are the Inherited tendencies of the race but he believes bad tendencies can be largely overcome by teachers and parents par-ents If the school falls It does GO because of popular demand People demand that the rudiments of arithmetic geography geo-graphy and all tho others bo well grounded but forget to insist it should be a place for building moral character but though the school may have no set lessons for doing this many lessons arc taught the child In habits of honor truth promptness respect for others rights and property and out of his lessons les-sons he gets something that touches his I whole being and In the right administration admin-istration of school affairs under a wise capable heaventaught teacher his character is formed and the teacher Is largely responsible The address replete with beautiful wordpainting was listened to with rapt attention by the larfrt audience of teachers and patrons State University Tho
