THE OMAHA DAILY BETS * ! FRIDAY , JANUARY 3 , 189G. DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD Interesting Discussions of the State Conven tion of Nebraska Toacbers , 'V ' COMPULSORY EDUCATION A FEATURE 1 flcmnlutloiin Adopted Hi cotniiii intlnR nil Amrniliticnt in HIP I.nw Itc- Attendance lit Sellout. LINCOLN , Jan. 2. ( Special. ) The. first rent of the morning session of the Nebraska Teachers' atsoclotlon was the election of Superintendent Pcarre ot Omaha as a mem ber of the educational council. Representing the absurdities of come ot the training that obtain In some ot the alleged schools ot oratory , Mr. Smith , the lecturer of last even ing , gave a humorous selection that evoked much applause. Prnf. W. A. Clark ot the State Normal ichool of Peru read a paper on the "Doctrine ot Appreciation. " In part he said : "The teps of the procesi by which we know an External object , though not successive In time , may bo sharply discriminated. Impression upon the nervous structure by the external object , sensation of the mind produced by this Impression , attention of the mind In 1U scntn- tlon , prcceptlon ot the phenomena ot the object that gives rise to the sensations , ap preciation of "tho sense-precepts obtained through perception. "Sensation and perception need to be clearly distinguished. The first la a change In the elate of the mind produced by a condition of the body the- second Is a reaching forth of the mind to Interpret Its sensation. In sensation the mind Is largely passive ; In perception , active. Sensation , as an Inner etate of the soul essence , must also be dis tinguished from the Impression made * upon the body by the external object. The Im pression Is purely material , while the sensa tion Is just as purely mental. "The real knowing process Is apperception. It Is the process of unifying the soul content by Integrating each new Increment of knowledge Into the whole of Intellectual life. To know one must appercelve. "Arperceptlvo teaching secures the Incor porating of each new morsel of mind food Into the compact body of the soul content at the time It Is received. It alms at con- tlnuoui and permanent growth. The question 18 not what one has In th" way of mental wealth , or what ho has by practice learned to do , but what ho Is as a result ot natural growth. " DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD. The points brought out were taken up by Superintendent Saylor of the Lincoln schools , and discussed In a way that added to the clearness of the statements and emphasized the thoughts. J. H. Miller of the Northwest- ern Journal or tsuucation reau a piper on ino "Relation of Individual Instruction to Class Hocltatlon. " Ho held that the problem of the school Is the problem of the development of the child. No teacher should for a moment forget that the school exists for th" child. Asldo from the usual expression of thanks Mi- for favors , the committee on resolutions went , . - on record ns In favor of the Monras doctrine by ths following : We endorse the patriotic position taken by the president nnd congress In defending our Ideas of the Monroe doctrine In the Venezuela affair. This was adopted unanimously. In regard to the compulsory attendance law they said : In view of the popular form of our govern ment nnd the fact that the stability nnd glory of our Institutions depends on the In telligence nnd patriotic devotion of Its people ple , we deem ft of the highest Importance ' that 4he state require upon the part of Its youth at least a reasonable attendance upon the means that have been provided to prepare them for loyal and Intelligent citizenship. Wo regret the Ineffectiveness of our present compulsory attendance law and recommend such further legislation t < . as will mnke It effective. It was nlso recommended that the com pulsory attendance law bo amended so that there may bo n definite tlmo when the chil dren of proper school age may be required to begin their attendance at school , and "hat the responsibility of seeing that all cVdren : of proper ago are In th ? school should be fixed on oorao officer whose duty It should bo to ses that the law was enforced. Further that the nttendanco called for by this law ta in a school where the child will be taught to read and write Engllsht CLOSING EXERCISES. . .

If what we claim is true , that Pearline is better than soap , the soap doesn't have a chance to do any work. It's only in the way. Besides , some soaps might cause trouble and you'd lay it to Pearline. You'll never get Pearl- inc's very best work till you use it just as directed on the package. Then you'll ' have the easiest , quickest , most economical way of washing and cleaning. GHAS. . SHIVERIGK & CO. , Furniture. 1206-1208 Douglas-Si. Ll'KE A GOOD TEMPER SHEDS A BRIGHTNESS EVERYWHERE.
