MR. BELTZER: I rise to a question of privilege, Mr. Chairman. 

 I feel that I have done the dewberry an injustice. But since I have- 

 seen and eaten them this evening, I do believe now that they will do 

 ■well. 



MR. HARRISON: I want to say that Mr. Beltzer is easy if you go- 

 at him along the right line. Just feed him. 



THE PRESIDENT: We will now hear from Mr. von Forell, on 

 Horticultural Eductipn. 



HORTICULTURAL EDUCATION. 

 By E. von Forell, Aurora. 



There is a principle in Pedagogy which declares that Teaching, both 

 in matter and method, must be adapted to the capability of the 

 taught. 



If this principle is true, then have we indeed gone far out of our 

 •way to find the nearest way home. We do not mean to say that in 

 matter and method we have been altogether wrong, nor that we in- 

 tend to continue stubbornly, in the wrong methods of the past, but that 

 ■we do not show the willingness, that the occasion requires, to make- 

 haste in this matter of correcting our mistakes. 



That the study of Horticulture should be taken up in every school!
