leadership through service, not to physical domination through force. Unfurl the stars and stripes on every school house, but point out to the children that our flag floats beneath the shadow of the cross on the neighboring steeple. Teach the children that America is called to service, and again to service and once more to service until we hear above the hum of industry or the roar of battles the words of the Divine Judge: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me." And so we close as we began with the words of Kipling changed to suit our time:

OHIO COLLEGE SECTION. The thirtieth annual meeting of the Ohio College Association was held at Put-in-Bay, on the afternoons of June 29 and 30.

At the first session President T. J. Sanders, of Otterbein, delivered the annual president's address. In a paper entitled "The Place and Purpose of College," he advocated a high ideal for the college man. The college ought to make manly men and womanly women.

The next number on the program was a paper by President D. B. Purinton, on "A Comparative Study of Colleges." This has been pronounced one of the most valuable papers ever prepared for the association. The writer had gathered abundant statistics for the comparison of Ohio colleges with those of other sections of the country, and in several respects our institutions were found wanting. The association has deter

mined to print this paper and give it a wide circulation. The paper was discussed by President W. O. Thompson and others.

At the second session, the association fistened with rap attention to Dr. Sylvester F. Scovel's elegantly prepared address on "Ohio's College Policy." For one hour he held his audience, and those who heard the paper, pronounce it one of the most masterly efforts ever made before the association. The maintenance of a large number of colleges with a diversity of interests was pronounced the true and satisfactory policy of our State. In the discussion of this paper, Dr. W. H. Scott, of the Ohio State University, advanced the opposite idea-unity through individuality-as the better policy; and he advocated the appointment of a committee to examine all the candidates for degrees in all the colleges in the State, thus rendering col

lege work everywhere systematic and of equal grade. Dr. G. F. Wright, of Oberlin; Dr. D. A. Long, of Antioch; Dr. C. F. Thwing, of Adelbert; Dr. W. O. Thompson, of Miami; Dr. J. P. Gordy, of the Ohio State University, and others spoke on this question, and as a result, a committee was created to consider the wisdom of such an examining board as Dr. Scott suggested.

The question of "Inter-collegiate Athlet cs" was discussed by Dr. J. W. Bashford, of the Ohio Wesleyan; Prof. A. C. Pierson, of Hiram,, and Prof. G. H. Young, of Wittenberg. It is evident that the time is approaching when football must be regulated by more stringent faculty laws or else prohibited altogether.

At the business sessions, several questions were discussed with more than usual enthusiasm. A rule of order was adopted providing that when three or more persons call for a viva voce vote on any question, that vote shall be taken by colleges. By resolution the colleges belonging to the association were prohibited from conferring master degrees in cursu. A committee was created to draw a plan of action on the part of the association with reference to the founding of new Ohio colleges. Some members present advocated a legislative prohibition of the founding of colleges unless the endowment shall equal two hundred thousand dollars. The matter of requirements for admission to the Freshman classes of the members of the association was referred to a committee, which reported an amendment to the constitution raising such requirement to the standard maintained by Eastern colleges. The proposed amendment will be considered at the next annual meeting.

The officers elected for the coming year are, President, Ira A. Priest, of Buchtel; Vice President, E. E. Phillips, of Marietta; Secretary, Willis Boughton, of Ohio University; Treasurer, G.

H. Young, of Wittenberg; member of the Executive Committee, W. W. Cressy, of Oberlin.

After deciding that the summer is the best season in which to hold its meetings, the association adjourned. Many of the members do not hesitate to pronounce this one of the most satisfactory meetings of recent years.

MUSIC TEACHERS' SECTION.

A great deal of interest was manifest in the meeting of the music teachers' section at the O. S. T. A. at Put-in-Bay, though the number of teachers present was not large. The subjects discussed were practical, and were made helpful to the teachers in actual service. At the first session on Thursday afternoon Mr. N. Coe Stewart read a paper upon the subject, "The Value of Teaching Reading by the Interval Method, the Proper Time for its Use if Used at All and the Method to be Pursued in its Teaching."

After a discussion of some length of the topic the subject, "What Kind of Songs Should be Used, What Kind be Avoided in the First and Second Year Grades?" was presented in a paper by Miss Eva E. Wylie, of Lancaster, followed by Mr. N. L. Glover, of Akron, and Mr. J. L. Orr, of Toledo, on "The Pedagogy of Sight Singing." The subject provoked some discussion, some contending that the term "Sight Reading" could be more properly used which naturally resolved the meeting into a round-table discussion in which the following subjects were considered at some length: "How Much Sight Singing Should be done in the Primary Grades?" "Definitions, When? How Many,” and “The Slur and the Tie," participated in by Messrs. Wright, Smith, Glover, Gantvoort, Collins, Cox and Power, and Misses Wylie, Hollenbeck and Starr.

Meeting adjourned till 11:00 o'clock Friday morning.

President Gantvoort called meeting to order and advised that the first topic, one for general discussion, be postponed till last and that the first paper, by Mr. O. E. Wright, of Dayton, be read. Subject, "Should the Teacher Sing With the Pupils in Sight Reading Exercises?" After which Miss Webster's paper, "The Esthetic Influence of Our Work in Education, How is it to be Secured?" was read by Mr. Gantvoort. Mr. F. A. Power, of Tiffin, then presented the last subject on the program, "Music in Annual County Teachers' Institutes, Of What Should it Con

sist if a Special Music Teacher Has it in Charge?"

Mr. Glover then moved to set aside the rules and proceed to the election of officers, which resulted in the election of Mr. F. A. Power, of Tiffin, President, and Mr. Louis W. Smith, of Xenia, Secretary. Adjourned.

Thanks are due President Gantvoort for his untiring zeal in laboring for the association and for the efficient work done in the office which he has held two successive terms. Every teacher was urged to bring some one to the convention next year to make it a more effectual aid to all music teachers of the State. F. A. POWER, Sec.
