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. Some
of the work he exhibited had not
only won prizes in the state of
North Carolina, but in New York.
Music for the conference was
furnished by the S. Nl. S. Choral
Society and the Mixed Quartette
under the direction of Miss E. A.
Johnson.
