TEACHERS MEET
AT BEND
Large Delegation from
Prineville.
PROFITABLE TWO-DAY SESSION
County School Superintendent
Ford Had Charge of
the Work.
Without question one of the best
Teachers' Institutes ever beld
in Crook county was conducted at
Rend last Fridsy and Saturday,
April 14 IS. Superintendent Ford
was in charge and introduced those
who took part on the program.
A large corps of teachers was
present, there being representatives
from Prineville, Itodmotid and
llend, besides from some of the
rural districts. Prineville fur
nished the largest delegation, how
ever, sending eighteen teachers. The
meetings were held in Linster Lall
and in the school building.
The first meeting was called to
order at Linster ball on Friday
evening at seven thirty. Supt.
Ford made a few introductory re
maiks in which he outlintd the
plan ol the institute for the follow
ing day and extended a cordial
invitation to the people of Bend to
lie present at all the sessions.
Prof. E. L. Coe, principal of the
Crook County High School, was
then introduced who gave a very

HOW IMIOVI EXPLOITING
No doubt If the comparative flgurea
could be secured which would show the
actual number of settlers secured as
against the number of inquiries brought
out by the Exhibition Cars this data
would be interesting reading, and would
show conclusively the great value of the
Mm of "Taking the Northwest to the
People of the East" if our territory is to
be oolonixed quickly.
An idea of the Interest created by the
arrival of the Great Northern Railway's
Exhibition Cars in the different Eastern
towns can only be gained by the read
ing of the reports from the attendants
in charge. In the majority of places
visited nearly the entire adult popula
tion has turned out, aa well as fanners
interesting discussion on the sub
ject of "Moral Education." Mr.
Coe made a very profound im-

exhibits and also at the lecture. As a
firoof of the results of our lecture, at
east twenty people came to us the fol
lowing morning regarding homssteads in
the Northwest. The whole town turned
out to visit the ear, and the opera house
was packed to overflowing at the lec
ture, I look for a big movement from
this place."
Any number of reports similsr to the
above are on file, we understand, in Mr.
Leedy's office in St. Paul, which show
in a measure what we, the people of
the great West, may expect In the way
of new settlers during this spring. We
should make ready to welcome these
new comers and to extend to them every
help in getting located
preesion upon his hearers by the
bold and fearless manner in which
be outlined the positive duty of 'the
modern teacher's spirit. IIe
placed the work of the teacher in
the realm of morals on a level with
that of the church. He showed
that in some respects the teacher's
influence was even greater than
any the church could wield because
of the exigencies of time and place-
Mr. Coe spoke with great 'earnest
ness, and from a wealth of expert
enue tbat made bis talk tbe more
valuable. A short discussion of
the subject followed and then Miss
Parrott of the Crook County High
School was introduced. She gave
a ery fine lecture on the value of
paintings of great historical event 3
as a means of assisting the student
to memorize history. The lecture
was ' illustrated throughout by
scenes from the Trojan war, Greece,
Rome, Venice, France and Eng
land, which was done by the aid
of the lantern and slides. Miss
Parrott suggested that "visualized
history" was more readily re
membered inasmuch as it appealed
not only to the sense of hearing
but to the sense of sight as well,
thus giving the student a double
tie on what he wished to memorize.
Miss Parrott was given wrapt at
tention by the large audience which
filled the hall.
Mies Conway, also of the
Crook County High School, read
one of the best papers of the insti
tute on the subject of the "Modern
Teacher." Her theme had been
very carefully thought out and
showed much originality and sin
cerity. Miss Conway accorded the
modern teachers a very lofty po
position in the moulding of the
lives of the future generation. Her
entire paper was fraught with gocd
practical sense that any teacher
would do well to incorporate into
her profession.
This closed the evening's pro
gram and after extending tbe
thanks of the teachers and a most
cordial invitation to all visitors,
Supt. Ford adjourned the meeting
until Saturday morning.
The teachers came together at
nine o'clock Saturday at the school
building and enjoyed a three-hour
sesbion much of the nature of a
round table symposium. Many
extremely valuable points bearing
on school management and meth'
oda were brought up and ably die
cussed. Among those appearing
through the program were Miss
Harriet Dolson of the Bend school
who spoke most interestingly on
the subject of geography, its
presentation and - value. Miss
Moore of Prineville spoke on pri
mary reading and was followed by J
Miss Richardson of Bend on lan
guage work, and Mr. Myers of
Prineville on arithmetic. Mr.
Colgrove of the Crook County
Rural Schools gave a very profit
able discussion of industrial work
io the modern school. All these
topics were ably handled and
shewed much preparation and
thought on the part of those who
delivered them. Misses Dolson
and Richardson both deserve
special mention for the admirable
and attractive way they handled
their subjects. This ended morn
ing session and the meeting was
adjourned 'till 1:30 p. m.
Tbe assembly was called to
order at Linster ball by Supt. Ford.
Quite a large number of visitors
were in attendance. The program
was opined by music by Bend
talent as was all the sessions. This
session was of a little different
character from those preceding.
since those not particularly be
longing to the teaching profession
appeared on the program. Supt.
Thompson of Redmond opened the
discussions of the afternoon with
an able paper on history. After a
very spirited discussion of this
topic Miss Cassidy of the Prine
ville schools gave without doubt
the best paper of the afternoon in
which she discuieed the worth of
a strong course in literature in tbe
grades. This she enforced by some
indisputable facts tbat made her
point very apparent.
Supt. Harrington next discussed
the subject of "Thoroughness in
Fundamentals in the Schoolroom"
and brought out some very good
ideas and answered some pointed
questions which the business world
is charging against tbe present
day school system. Next followed
a symposium on the proposition of
the "Demands of our Public
Schools" as viewed from the stand
point of the newspaper man, agri
culturist, business man, profession
al man and teacher. All dil well
with their discussions, making
them very practical and helpful
All agreed, however, that the edi
tor of the Bend Bulletin brought
home to the assembly some of the
most vital points for the considera
tion of the teachers. He made a
most forceful plea for the teachers
to mould a higher quality of sentL
ment among me coming genera
tions. He declared that this was
ostensibly their duty and tbat the
newspaper man was altogether de
pendent on .how far they were sue'
cefsful in this for the character of
their f apere. He emphasized the
fact that teachers moulded senti
ment, while the newspapers follow
it and that it must ever be so.
f er a short talk by Supt. Ford
on "Recent School Legislation" in
which he stated that more had
been done for Oregon schools by
tbe last assembly than in several
years preceding, the session closed
to meet again the following even'
ing at 7:30 at tbe same place.
ine baturday evening session
was is many respects the most in
teresting of the whole Institute,
rrot. Harrington delivered an
illustrated lecture on South Amer
ica, showing about 120 different
views, among them were some of
the great Panama' canal now in
the process of construction.
Mrs. Evelyn Walker of tbe
Crook County High School next
spoke on the advantages of
normal course in high schools. She
pointed out that the demand for
skilled teachers was steadily in
creasing and that the state schools
were not meeting this demand. It
devolves, then, upon the high
scnoois oi me state to make up
this deficiency. The public will
no longer tolerate as a teacher one
who ha; tried everything else in
the world and failed. The teach
ing profession needs and must
have trained men and women to
carry on its work just the same as
any other profession.
Closiug the session and the In
stitute Miss Parrott gave her mas
terful lecture on the Power of Sug
gestion. She treated her theme
from two viewpoints, 1st, the teach'
er's suggestion to the student, and
2nd, tbe teacher's suggestion to
herself. Miss Parrott has a very

SPOTTED TROUT
FOR OREGON
A Chance to Stock Oar
Streams
WITH GOOD GAMEY FISH
Local Fishermen Should Send
in their Orders for Some
of the Allottment
Here is a chance for the fisher
men of Crook County to stock our
streams with new trout. A dis
patch says that "United States
Fish Commissioner George M.
Bowers has promised Master Fish
Warden Seward Clanton that a
large shipment of black spotted
trout eggs will be made to this
state tor hatching and distribution
in the state of Oregon this summer.
The request for trout eaes for
batching and distribution in this
state was recently made by Mr.
Clanton. Last year a quarter cf
a million eggs were batched in the
salmon hatcheries of this state.
The black spotted trout are some
thing like the mountain trout, or
eastern brook trout, and while they
have never been introduced in this
country, some have been planted
in Rogue river and others in Pine
and Trout 'creeks near Oregon
City, and it is said these streams
are becoming quite well stocked
with the beauties.
While the black spotted trout do
not grow to large proportions,
they are about a Etandoff for the
Dolly Varden, but are among the
most gamey trout to be found in
any country. Where these are
plentiful and a man hooks one
weighing no more than a pound,
he will imagine that he hat- a six
or eight-pounder, and if allowed to
fight in the water they will give
the old veteran troutfuher the time
of his life before they finally give
up and allow themselves to be
dragged to tbe bank.
The black spotted trout are
famous in tbe streams of the hills
io North Carolina, and other states
in the east and south. There are
mountain streams in tbe foothills
of the Bl,ack mountain and other
mountains in North Carolina
where these little beauties are to
be found by the million, and little
streams running a very small
amount of water are to be found
where they can be pulled out al
most as rapidly as the fisherman
can cast a fly. They are a favorite
fly trout and will bite to fly cast
ing when no bait will lure them
from their resting places among the
rocks of those little streams.
The introduction of the black
spotted trout would mean tbat
within a few years our streams
would be alive with these gamy
fisb, as they are adapted to cold
mountain streams, and will thrive
and multiply very rapidly."
Send vour application to the
State Fisb Warden so that we can
get a share of the distribution this
year.
