Following the address of Dr. Swain, the following resolution was proposed by Dr. W. L. Bryan.

Resolved, That the Indiana State Teachers' Association indorse the repeated action of the National Educational Association in favor of a national university for graduate work, and express the hope that the newspaper reports of the intended munificent gift of Andrew Carnegie for graduate work in Washington are true, and if so, that the endowment proposed will be accepted by Congress for a National University under government control.

The resolution was received favorably. The committee appointed to draft a memorial to Superintendent W. H. Glascock made the following report:

MEMORIAL TO SUPT. WILLIAM H. GLASCOCK, ON BEHALF OF INDIANA STATE TEACHERS'

ASSOCIATION.

A prince among us has fallen. To those who know the struggles of his early life and the heroic spirit with which he battled and by which he conquered, he was a victorious prince. His loyalty to the high purpose of his life and his strivings to attain to the best he found in himself were known of all who had the good fortune to know him. His steadfast affection for his friends and beautiful devotion to the wife he loved, attest the real nobility of his spirit.

No man can know the boys and girls he helped in a material way, by the encouragement he gave and the inspiration of his life upon them, nor how many teachers have been made more kindly in their attitude to children by his appeals as an institute instructor. He did not regard it a sacrifice to give the best he had to do good or give pleasure. His was a genuinely Christian character, void of bigotry and full of charity. His work as a Sunday-school teacher and superintendent and consistent church member was only the outward manifestations of the spirit within.

He was in a true sense both the product and the producer of the educational spirit of his time; for coming up from the country school, he became in turn country school teacher, county superintendent, city superintendent, deputy State superintendent, Superintendent of the Institution for the Blind,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.

We, the teachers of Fulton County, in institute assembled, do hereby resolve:

First. That we commend the idea oi Supt. Gibbons in issuing punctuality buttons, book stamps, etc. We believe they will be the means of solving the problem of tardiness and will instill the idea of promptness in after years. We believe that the idea of economy taught the child by a proper regard for his books will be of great value to him when he enters the business world.

Second. That, recognizing the influence of music and drawing as factors in developing character, and knowing that no subject can be properly presented by one not familiar with it, we urge our school boards and township trustees to employ special teachers in these subjects.

Third. That we favor school consolidation and approve of the plan as set forth by Supt. F. L. Jones, and ask the press to set his ideas of school economy clearly before the people.

Fourth. That there is an imperative need for uniform text-books in our high schools, and, as an advance step, we demand that the Indiana State text-book law be amended so as to apply to high school texts, thereby greatly reducing their cost.

Fifth. That in order to encourage the common cause of education, we instruct the county superintendents to receive no applicant for a teachers' license who has not had the advantage of three years in high school or its equivalent, the same not to apply to teachers who are now in the profession.

Sixth. That we favor the establishment of a system of manual training in connection with our graded schools.

Seventh. That we recommend shorter hours for primary work.
