prepared by the secretary, Fannie G.
Porter, were read and approved.
First on the program was a pleasing
recitation by Master Victor Carotliers.
Kiles orchestra rendered some choice
music.
"How can we Gain the Confidence
and Love of our Pupils" was the subject
of an excellent talk by T. J. Gary.
Children have a natural respect for truth
and a teacher should never attempt to
deceive them in any way. lie must
really love bis pupils, enter into their
joys and sympathize with their trouble.
W. W. Austin, Mr. Eyans, Edna Roes
and II. S. Strange also spoke on this
subject.
A quartette of young ladies gave a
choice song in a creditable manner.
Miss Vara Knight recited "Kentucky
Belle."
"How to Teach Percentage" was the
subject of an interesting talk by II. 8.
Gibson. He emphasized the need of
the pupils understanding the four funda
mental rules for arithmetic before at
tempting to study percentage. He
should be accurate in decimal work.
The subject should be introduced by
analysis first; after the pupil thoroughly
understands percentage, introduce other
methods.
"Some Errors in Method and Disci
pline Made by Teachers" was the sub
ject of an excellent address by Supt. II .
G. Starkweather. He did not believe
that it was absolutely necessary to have
the love of pupils in order to do good
work in teaching. Discipline should
always be maintained. He would not
discard our reading books, for complete
stories. The selection in Barnes' readers
are good and he believes nothing better
can be arranged .
On motion meeting association ad
journed to partake of a delicious repat
prepared for the teachers by the good
people of Canby.

selection which received an enthusiastic
encore.

roan's room, rendered some choice vocal
music, responding to an encore.

Physiology." He believes in doing
practical work as much as possible, tak
ing up each subject as arranged in the
text book and using all supplementary
work obtainable.
"A Geometric Play" by 12 pupils from
Miss Summer's room was a pretty sight.
A beautiful violin solo played by Mr.
Robert Coe, was given an enthusiastic
encore.
Alex Thomson, Estelle Bracken and
Edna Hoes offered a resolutlonjof thanks
to the good people of Canby for their
kindness and hospitality, to the teachers
and pupils of Canby school for the
entertainment furnished the association,
and to Kile's orchestra for the

adopod.
The attendance At this meeting wns
good, as three schools had united to

decided to omit the Juno meeting, con
sequently, the next association meeting
will be held the lust Saturday in July.
W. V. Austen, Jennie Kowen and
Bertha Sumner were itisti tided to pre
pare a program for the Logan meeting.
On motion, association adjourned to

Change of Boats.
Beginning with Monday tbe Altona
commenced to run on the Oregon City
Portland route, tbe Ratnona changing
places with her and going on the upr
river run. Graham Hro. attainod two
objects iu changing the runs of their
boats, The Altona is one of the swiftest
boats on the Willamette and by placing
her on the Oregon City route she will be
able to more fully meet the completion
of the electric cars, for she has made the
trip from this city to Portland iu 40 min
untes, which is as good time as the elec
tric flyer can make, and people traveling
on her will have the assurance of getting
to their destination in as short a ti ne as
by any other conveyance. The Uamona
being one of the lightest draught boats
on the river will be able to make
regular trips up the river long after the
other heavier draught boats have been
forced to stop running. The Altona is
so much more roomy and runs with so
much less jar than the Uamona that she
will do much tj build up the river traffic,
especially when the trip can be made in
the same time as the regular electric
cars and tor only 25 cents for the round
trip with the return ticket good any time.
