Sees Education Gap in Practice tt r * -* 1 Speaker Holds Practice Leaves Much To Be Desired Generally There never was a greater gap between the spirit of education and actual practice than there is today", Dr. Philip L. Harriman, professor of psychology, Bucknell University, told Col- Knbia county school teachers yestery as the 82nd annual county instite concluded. He declared the theory of education must be translated into actual practice. County Branch Officers William H. Weaver, of Madison j township, was elected president of the County Branch of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, yesterday afternoon as the institute concluded. T. J. Kirker, Mifflin, was chosen vice president and Miss Cleora Mc- Kimrtry, of Bloomsburg, treasurer. Their names were presented by a nominating committee composed of W. C. Coffman, Millville; N. A. Yeany Bloomsburg, and W. T. Shorley. Delegates to the State convention of the P. S. E. A. named are: High schools???T. J. Kirker with Russell Kostenbauder, Conyngham, alternate; elementary grades???Miss Elizabeth Feinour, Locust, with Miss Bessie Grimes, Catawissa. alternate; rural???George Ruckle, Briarcreek, delegate, and George Dodson, Greenwood, alternate. J. Clair Patterson, of town, was chosen secretary-treasurer of the institute. Harold Hidlay, of Orangeville, made the report of the auditors. Ezra Harris, Center and William Coffman, Millville, were chosen auditors for next year. Addresses of Day Organ selections by Prof. Howard F. Fenstemaker, of the College, were an entertainment feature of the morning with devotions in charge of the Rev. B. R. Heller, pastor of the local Reformed Church. ( Dr. Harriman spoke on the theme "New Methods in Education from the Standpoint of the Classroom Teacher". Speaking of the conflict between theory and practice, he said the main objective of education is not to impart; subject matter to the pupil but educa-j tion through subject matter. He spoke of how little subject mat-j ter, such as rules in English, remainsj with the pupils and said it will not remain with the pupil unless it is ap-j died to the everyday life of individ-i uals. In a democracy, he stressed, there are no classes of individuals, but a survey just completed among students in New York state shows that most of the individuals interviewed think then are classes because the pupils sought white collar jobs and did not want to work with their hands. The theory of education, he said, must be translated into actual practice. Special Education A program of education for those who are physically handicapped was outlined by Dr. T. Ernest Newland chief of special education, State Department of Public Instruction. He said that students who have but partial sight, are totally blind, deaf or crippled may be sent to school at the expense of the State and the local disrict. He spoke of the problems also presented in education so that suitable programs can be set up for the mentally retarded and mentally superior. These classes requiring special education represent ten to twelve percent of the school population, he said. Special education classes must be set up in districts where there are ten or more pupils requiring such instruction. Districts may combine in this program. Pupils in the first grade with a mental age of less than four and a half years and those in higher grades with an intelligence quota of less than 50 per cent may be excluded from the regular classes, he said. Mrs. Recce, chairman of the division of motion pictures of the Pennsylvania Federation of Women's Clubs, urged children be instructed so they have appreciation of good motion pictures. W. P. Loomis, district NYA supervisor, spoke of the NYA program is the public schools. 30 Candidates Drill at College / / /A3JM Workouts Start in Earnest Under Coach George ???.
