‘ A reading of the program will show
that it was planned that the exercises-
should place especial emphasis uponi
the study of English. This includes1
reading. phonetics. spelling. oral recl-
tution. language. literature. grammar
and composition. in the 1111.1 hours de‘-
voted to the ntstitute helpful sugges
lions and practical direction were giv-
en bearing upon every phase of the
matter.
The general plan was to bring the
ideas before the teachers and to show
clearly. how they could be carried out.
To this end there was an exhibit of
the various kinds of work in English
collected from the ideal schools and
displayed in several rooms on the first
liner. in addition to this the speakers
brought with them materials used and
collected in the various schools from
which they came. Not onlythls. but
a dozen pupils from the several
schools or the towu formed, a class
in primary reading taught by Miss
Wiedl. to illustrate the Connecticut
system of teaching reading to begin-
ners. By this method the pupils learn
to read whole stanzas of good verse
from which words are selectedto be
drilled upon and memorized. This
exercise in skillful class teaching was
perhaps the most helpful part of the
day‘s programand was appreciated by
the teachers as was evidenced by the
frequent applause as the lesson was
developed. The quickness, the ease
and the interest displayed by the ‘pu-1
pill no one of whom was over seven
years old, were astonishing and de-
llghtfui.
The first exorcise was a minute and
detailed explanation by State Super-
visor Pratt. of- Putnam, how to make
materials and to develep devices for
teaching beginners to road words The
second exercise was in part the class
exercise above referred to which show-
' ed how the materials describbd should
be used and the new method of teach-
: in: reading. and in pubertal- the dis1
