WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL, 30, 1921 TEACHERS' SESSION SUCCESSFUL EVENT Delegates To Lake Shore Division of Illinois State Teachers' Associa- tion Meet at Evanston With what was said to be the big- gest atendance in years, the Lake "Shore division of the Illinois State Teachers' association, which conven- ed in Evanston last Friday, closed its last session late in the atfernoon at a general business meeting held in the First Methodist 'church. The quality of the speakers, the respons- iveness of the delegates and the gratifying numbers who came to Ev- anston, making this one of the great- est conventions ever held by the asso- ciation, were all a part of the day's successful program which lasted from early morning until late afternoon. At the general morning session, several splendid addresses were made, one of the most important of which was that of Prof. O. Rugg of the Columbia university teachers' college. Generation of Thinkers He told of the responsibility which lay with the public schools in train- ing a generation of men and women who could think intelligently, and dis- cussed the more efficient methods by which the routine things (spelling, reading, writing, etc.) are now being taught. "Our big job is to train citi- zens who will think about their af- fairs and render critical judgement in politics, religion and industry," said Professor Rugg. He showed where the validity of some of the assumptions upon which a represent- ative democracy have been based is now being questioned by thoughtful educators, one of which is that peo- ple have sufficient intelligence to or- ganize their affairs efficiently with- out training. "We have learned in the past 50 years to question this as-/ sumption," he explained in bringing' out the point that the every day man and woman do not carefully think about what they are going to do, but respond on influence and not after proper deliberation. He endeavored to show that the American public system is, in part responsible for this and, by discourse and illustration demonstrated where- in lay certain means of correcting the discrepancies. Upon great teachers depends the future of American thought, is his belief. Other Excellent Speakers BIN Other speakers of the morning were Supt. W. W. Lewton, chairman of the legislative committee, who discussed school appropriations, state and local, and explained different bills which have been placed before the legis- lature in an effort to secure a greater state distributable fund. President Livingston C. Lord of the Eastern Illinois state normal school, took up educational subjects which should be included on the public school curri- culums and dwelt on the raising of our educational standards. Between the addresses musical numbers were presented by north shore talent; and the choice work of the A Capella choir was well received. OPEN TENNIS SEASON Tennis was formally ushered into the whirl' of spring 'sports Trier High school this week when the annual handicap tournament was to be launched, provided the weather man eased up on the moisture suffi- ciently to permit the newly groomed | courts to get into shape.
