H The national authorities upon edu- H cation severely condemned tho me- H , thods of teaching in the country H schools in lectures to the Summer H Schoool of the Agricultural College-. H These educators aro Dr. H. S. Curtlsa, Hl Director of the Play Ground Move- H j ment in America, and Professor E. C. Hf "Bishop, iDlrestor of Nature Study In Hl the state of Iowa, The eminent edu- Hj cators are members of the faculty of H i the Agricultural College during the H '( Bummer. Dr Ourtiss condemned our H workshlp of the Three R's and maln- H l t'aincd that tho most vital thing in H child education was unrestrained H muscular movement, with a minimum H of in-door book work. H ' Professor Bishop maintained that any system of education which omitted omit-ted agriculture was wrong and must be remedied Ho maintained that the most important study for the child was agriculture. His talk was in reality a severe condemnation of present pre-sent methods of instruction in Utah and elsewhere. Both educators were greeted with crowded houses and their lectures are causing considerable consider-able discussion among the teachers of the state assembled here. oo
