Principals Conference (Continued from Page 1) Hill, N. C. talked very instructively on “Mental Hygiene.” He stated that 4 per cent of all the children now in school were subject to in sanity before they reach maturity. Some very helpful suggestions were given concerning school dis cipline. He told the teachers to throw away the strap that has been hanging behind the school room door. He applied the prin cipal of learning—the law of ex ercise. If the strap be used the physical orgajis of the teacher will be developed; on the other hand, if the brain be used the teacher will become the wiser for having carefully thought out the solu tions to his problems. Rev. W. A. Cooper of Charlotte, N. C. used his own work in art to demonstrate his talk on “The Val ue of Fine Arts in Our Educa tional Program.” Through his portraits drawn from those among whom he had known, we noted many phases of Negro life.
