that proper attention be given to beat
and light in the schoolroom, and that
teachers pay particular attention to de
fects of eyeeight, bearing and to nervous
defects. President Campbell said Uiat
we do not achieve the possibilities of onr
race chiefly because we do not pay suf
ficient attention to the physical needs of
the body.
He waa followed by President Campbell,
who took the new grammar and made an
outline of bow it should be prevented in
the schools.
Prof. Joneph BclufW, assistant profes
sor of history, University of Oregon, took
(or his sublet, "Why We Study Uislory
in the Kcbools." UUtory is a new sob
Ject compared with mathematics and
language, and we are Justified in discuss
ing the reaaona for studying it, It hat
not yet a definite and aesured place
in the curricolum; but, with the two
great report ol the Committee of Ten,
(1M3) and I be Committee of Seven, (1900)
teachers are rapidly coming to tome sort
of aicreeuieot on what history should be
taught, and to tome extent, bow it
should be taught.'
In Oregon we have now provision (or
eigt years of history proper, beginning
with the Cfth and extending through the
twelfth grade. Surely Oregon teachers
should be able to give reasons (or the
(aith they show in thus giving history a
prominent place in the school course.
Home ol these reasons are as follows:
In genersl, history is justified on pedago
gical groa ode. Like all training, it hat
at its aim to increase the efficiency of the
individual subjected to it. That it, the
reactiona against our environment must
be effective reactions if the individual
it not to be overwhelmed by the great
forces preasing in upon him. These
forces, (this environment) Lave two aa
pecta. On one side it the natural world.
A ttudy of natural sciences increases the
efficiency of oar reactions npon it. We get
from the ttudy knowledge, facta, power
and inaigbt. On the other hand it the
tocial environment. Thie it the aide
concerning which power it gained in the
ttudy of the historical subjects., To
turn op the legitimate results of bitton
cal study, it should:
Train the practical judgment;
Show the coonectioa of the present
with the ptt, and thus explain the pres
ent ;
Unify the coarse of ttudy ;
AC rd a motive and guide to indepen
dent work in after life. v

tabulated statements showing the bni
nese done in the land offices and at
Washington, Inferring to the increase
o( buniueM shown by the report, Mr.
Hermann says:
When in my lat annual report I called
attention to the remarkable showing
made in the tabulated statements ol work
In this office of lands disposed of and
cash received for that year and which
far exceeded the record for many yeara
preceding, I confidently believed a max
mum bad been reached The cssti re
ceipts were then (4,374,758, an increase
of (1,300,621 over the previous year, and
an increase of $2,101,763 over that of the
year 1818. The land disposed of was
shown to be 13,453,827 acres in lfMX). as
against 9,182,413 acres for 1690. Of
homestead entries, 8,478,41)0 acres were

Professor M. M. Rinulor, physical di
rector ol the Portland Y. M. O. A., out
lined a serins of physical exercises and
demonstrated the movement. He also
submitted a printed outline of the work
in this direction (or the whole year,
which will be OBod in the public schools
oi the county. Tho subject of "Nature
Study" was ably handled by Mies Smith,
who gave a general introduction at based
upon books recently selected by the
Oregon Text Book Commission. Her
remarks were illustrated by an object
lesson on leaf. '
One hundred and fifty four toachere
registered at the eocnnd day's session,
which oponed with musio and was fol
lowed by a talk on number work by Miss
Loretta Smith, critlu teachor of the train
ing department of the Monmouth Normal.
She took the figures 0 and 3 In combina
tion and wont through additlou, ruht mo
tion, multiplication end division, show
ing how she would toach it concretely
and abstractly. Her lecture waa illus
trated by meant of splints.
City Superintendent Frank Rlgler, of
Portland, tpoke on the phonic method of
teaching primary reading. This was one
of the most practical lectures of the ses
sion. He illustrated hit method of deal
ing with a child by takbg different words.
In the afternoon these (our points weto
discussed with reference to the methods
o( securing thew results. The necessity
of broad, historical, preparation on the
part o( teachers of any part of history,
and of libraries to furnish materials for
ttudy,- were emphasixed. Historical
training, it waa shown, should Impart
the power to use the world's acquired
knowledge.
At 1 :3Q o'clock Miss Imogen Harding
sang "Voices of the Wood," and Miss
Loretta Smith lectured on "Nature
Work." The nioet excellent books in
Nature and Science study that were
adopted by the late text-book commis
sion, were introduced to the teachers in
a way that it might assist them in mak
ing a course of nature lessons, including
the suggestive topics given in the State
Course of Study. Miss Smith said that
one of the great difficulties In nature
study has been to find some basis (or se-1
lecting and arranging the most important
and suitable topics tor a course in nature
work. This difficulty has been entirely
removed in this state. With the many
helpful books that have been adopted,
and with the very interesting and abun
dant material to be found on every hand,
any teacher should have little trouble in

over the great year before of 7378 entries
and of 1,018,866 acres. In original
homestead entries, final homestead en
tries and commuted homestead entries
made in the last fiscal year there were
111,890 entries in all embracing 15.455,
057 acres, (or actual bonafide homes of
American, settlors."
All told, the Commissioner says, the
year just closed has been the beet in 10
years, both in point of money receipts
and amount ol land disposed ot. Then
was a surplus ol (3,158,441 after paying
all the expenses of the land and forest
administration oi the government. The
patents on account of railroad grants
covered 2,460,804 acres.
The commissioner says special efforts
were made by his office finally to closa
up the swamp-land claims which still
remain on the part of the ditlerent states.
Last year 215,903 acres were patented, as
against 98,923 this year. Swamp indem
nity claims rejected last year embraced
192,900 acres.
The report Bhows that there still re
main in the public domain 914,096,074
acres of land which has not been ap
propriated, and much of which has not
been surveyed. This area includes the
Territory of Alaska, but not the Insular
josfessions.
