HESS CLAN NEET
The weekly dinner meeting of the local Rotary Club was held In the Y.  M. C.  A. Monday evening with William Silfles president of the club' in the chair. I
A short songfest opening the .ses¬ sion was led by .son,< leader H. P. Yeisley with his daughter Miss Mae assisting at the piano.
Quests were then introduced and Included Rotarian.s  Howard Mason and J. Madison Drake of Belvidere,' N. J., Paul HufI of Bethlehem and Clark Fogelman of Northampton all | Introduced by James S. Fry of the local club.   "The members of the lo-| cal school board, were also present as guests and   were Introduced   by Howard Shimer.
Supervising principal F. A. Mar¬ cks of the Nazpjeth Public Schools, the evening's guest speaker was then presented by County Superintendent O. A. Orim a member of the local club. I
The speaker presented some com- ^ parative   facto on    the old school | system and methods ot teaching as against the new methods citing the distinct advantages   ot the present system of education.   He sUted that
the old school dealt almost exclu¬ sively with symbols, things thatj stood tor something Instead ot the things themaelves. These symbols of the old school were essentially words. This same terrible verbalism was probably the old schools great¬ est wealcness. Textbooks were the only essential equipment. Pupils memorised and reproiduced the words they had teamed to the teacher. An attempt was made to teach science | without equipment including Physics, Botany and Zoology. •   |
In the new school experienoe thr¬ ough experimenUtlon to the out¬ standing aInL "The naw school vant
pupils to hanclle and manipulate things. The new school believes that this Idea is correct because v>f three well known facts.
First because all icnowledge be¬ gins with .sense perception; Second becau.se original experience is more impressive and its lessons more last¬ ing than vicarious experience; Tlurd, It Is ba.sed on child nature as ebU¬ dren wish to handto and manipulate things various iUustraUons were pre¬ sented bearing out those three main reasons for the present or new school. In addition the new aebool between that next to original ex¬ perience, pictures and represanta- tlons of all kinds are most vahiable.
The old school currietUum was too all Inclusive not of subJeeU, but of subject matter; while it was narrow as well In the number of subJeeU offered taking no accoimt of varia¬ tions in Interesto of studenU. It was based more on supposed need at adulte and did not take Into aoeount the needs of the chUdren.
In the new school the subject mat¬ ter of each study has been 'greatly reduced. More subJecU have been included In the courses and the pre¬ sent curriculum to based on ttae In¬ teresto and need of cblldren.
The philosophy or theory behind the two practices were simply ttiat the old school beUeved aU knowtedge was useful, thst training in one sub¬ ject would serve equaUy w«U in o- ther subjecto by transfer of that training and that during youth was the only time to leam. atflrii^ up that knowledge against the needs of adult Ute.
The new achopi believes In teaeh- ing subjecto ot more Inmedtote aewd, that training in one sab)eet eannot ordinarily be traasfeired to anottMr and that edtieation to a oonttnaal through Ufe.

SPORTSMEN SHOW TO BE HELD IN NOR¬ THAMPTON COUNTY
The Sportsmen Federation of Nor¬ thampton County is now fostering a sporteman show to be held at the Colllaeum. Bethlehem, next Spring, probably March, which will possibly be the first attempt of its kind ever made In this community.
This show is to be as eleborati? &s[ slnillar shows held In larger cities. The stole department will require 3300 square feet of space to display exlUblto of the vi Id life of the state of Pennsylvania as well as displays of Interest to forestry. The sporting goods dealers wlU also require a lot of space and It to expected that thto show wlll be even b^ger and better than one held at PhlladelphU some Ume ago by reason ot the taot that thto community to made up ot more real sportsmen per square mile than ean be found anywhere \n the sUte. All Interested wUl be gtod to see the offictol snnounoement. Wateh for It through your local newspapers.
