The Jana ry meeting of the Clacka

Milwaukie laal Saturday.
As uduhI, when the teachers meet at
Milwaukie, the work of the aaeociation
moved of! smoothly and aatihfactorily and
Hupt. ZiiiHer may feel proud of the cheer
ful wanner in which the teachers per
formed I h parts aaeitned tbeui.
The atletidance was good, there being

ers, and Mjldum has the aanociation heen
favored with a more attentive and en-
IhiiHiaHiic audience.

"A First Term's Woik in Reading,"
was the subject of an excellent and thor
oughly practical address delivered by
Miss Frances Myers, of the Easlbam
school, Oregon City. She said in part:
"The true starting point for the leaching
of reading is in the thought. Then comes
the sign. Language deals with thought
'and neither letters nor sounds are ele
ments of thought, but merely elements
of words. The first lessons should con
nect words already familiar with their
written or printed forms, the letters and
sounds being left to a future step. "The
Word Method" calls out ouly one faculty
memory. By the "Phonic Word
Method" the child is taught to observe,
compare, analyze, and construct new
words." By the means of black-board
illustrations, the speaker illustrated to
those present ber method of presenting
her woik to a class.
The subject was briefly discussed by
State Supt. J. U. Ackerman and County
eupt. J. C. Zinser, both making perti
nent remarks on the same.
On motion, association adjourned to
meet at 1 :30 p. m. '
AFTKRSOOK SESSION.
Called to order at 1 :M0 p.
With
President Zinser in the chair.
The afternoon program was opened by
the teachers singing the patriotic selec
tion "America," Supt. Zinser acting as
leader.
"Causes of Faulty Expression" was
the title of a most excellent speech given
by Miss Gertrude Nefzer, oi the Barclay
school, Oregon City. She thought the
chief causes of faulty expression were:
teaching children to read too young;
lack of thought element in beginners'
subject matter ; sluirgish action of the
mind ; too rapid increase in reading vo
cabulary of the child ; condensing too
much information in the lefaons of be
ginners; the lack of imaginative power;
and want of interest on the part of
teachers.
The discussion which followed whs
participated in by the following teachers:
Messrs. H. D. Wilcox, Robert Ginther,
J. C. Zinser and T. J. Gary.
"How to Secure Good Reading." was
the subject presented by Miss Majgaret
Williams, of Park pi ace school. Her ad
dress was practical throughout and lis
tened to with maiked attention. "Silent
reading is the apprehension of the
thoughts and feelings presented to the
mind by written or printed language
In oral reading the position of the reader
is obviously that of intermediary between
the author and the listener. The requir
ments for expressive reading are thus
seen to be three-fold mechanical, Intel
lectual and emotional."
Several choice literary and musical
selections were rendered by the papers
The next sul j-ct taken np was "The
School Library." Mr. H. L McUann.
principal of i'arkplace school, presented
the division "Boat Use of Reference
Books," in a pleasing manner. IIh
stated that reference books should be
ovd to ascertain new (acts about diuV
ent subjects nnder consideration, and he
emphasized the vast importance of pu
pils being tAiight the proper use of thei
AiM'ttnnarw Mr f(T?unn wnnUI lint '
recommend the nse of such reference
bxks ss the encyclopedia Briunuica for
children, but simpler ones. If reference
books are used at all, let them be nsed
for a purpose and not to led pupils
away from the subject.
Mr. T. J. Gary, principal of West Ore
gon City, presented in an able manner
the second division, "Tbe Place of Sup
plementary Reading." Mr. Gary, as
nana!, held the clooe attention of his
listeners. lie emphasized the fact that
supplementary reading should not take
the place of the regular text, hut rather
be an addition. He believed that the
use of supplementary boks in the public
schools would assist in elevating morals,
and thereby make better citizens.
State Supt. J. H. Ackerman was next
called to the fl.xir and delivered an inter
esting ao.d entertaining speech on "Ways
and Means of Securing Libraries." He
spoke on the importance of every school
having a desirable library, and explained
to teachers several methods that might be
pursued in order to secure same. His
remarks were listened to with attention,
and were mucb appieciaieJ.
County Supt. J. C. Zinser endorsed
the remarks of Supt. Ackerman, and ad
vocated the necessity of school libraries,
remarking that teachers might raise
money lor this purpoae by having enter
Uiinments. Mr. Geo. H. Himes, of the Portland
Historical Society, delivered a most en
joyable and valuable address on "Early
Oregon History." Mr. Himes had with
him several documents relating to the
early history of Oregon, some of w hich
proved very interesting as they related
to our own County. The first coio and
the first book made on the Pacific Coast
by Americans were made in historic
Oregon City. He impressed npon bis
listeners the great importance ot preser
ving present documents for future ose.
The closing number on the programme
was by Hon. J. II. Ackerman, and his
address, "Fads, Their Uses and Abuses,"
was handled in a skilful and instructive
manner. Supt. Ackerman traced the
effect of fads on the world's history and
civilization ana said that tbey should
have a place in educational work. He
showed in a convincing way that they
did more good than people realized. A
teacher who recognises ttie good and the
bad in the child and manages to have
the good predominate is the most attrac
ting. The true teacher will reach away
down in the child's life, and then he can
do anything he desires with the child
He presented tbe subject thoroughly and
showed the good to be gained fiom the
proper ose of fads, and the evil that
might come from the abuse of the same.
The subject closed the most interesting
and beneficial of the meetings held iu
the county this winter.
The following resolutions were pre
sented and passed :
"We have again met at the historic
town of Milwaukie, and have been hos
pitably and rovaliy entertained, as we
have always been in the past.
"Theiefore-Be it resolved that the sin
cere appreciation of this association be
and is hereby extended to the teachers
and patrons of Milwaukie for their kind
welcome and hospitable entertainment
"To Mr. Geo. H. Himes, of Portland,
for his instructive address on local his
tory. "To Slate Supt. J. H. Ackerman for ".he
inspiration of his presence, for his valua
ble remarks uion the various subjects,
and for his practical address."
On motion, associntion adjourned to
meet at call of Supt. Zinser.

MARKED DOWN
TO 10,000,000
Panama Canal Is For Sale Cheap
atTheUargaiu Counter.
THE DITCH HA Jl K'KIfS HOWEVER
Secretary Hay Hus Tak n Time By the
Forelo kmid I'. g.itlatlnr For
I'oocesilons.
Special to the Enterprise.
Washisotos, D. C, Jan. 30.-The
Panama Canal is on the bargain counter
"marked down to $40,000,000-,-cl.eap
lor cash. Our commission seems to be
possessed with the view of lady shop
perswe don't really need it bnt it is
shame not to buy it, It's going so cheap.'
It reminds one of trie immortal Mis.
Tories, who nsed to attend auctions,
and her purchase of the door pUte,
"Tompkins." Jnt think, my dear,"
said she to ber husband, if we should
have a baby and it should be a girl and
she should grow up and marry a man
named Tompkins, how bandy it would
be to have this door plale in the house."
This old abandoned French ditcb has,
however, some merits about it, and in
spite of all tnat has been said and writ
ten sgainst it, there seems to be a strong
impresion abroad in Congress that we
ars going to buy it af'er all. So it bf
hooves ibe chronicler to sum up all the
good points that are alleged in its favor
anil see if we are really g ing to get our
money's worth in buying this shop-worn
piece of goo-Is.
First, there are &"5, 000 acres of land
not worth much at present but undoubt
edly of considerable value if the canal is
constructed.
Second, buildings and machinery,
boats, dredging apparatus, etc., ail in
more or less dilapidated condition, but
still able to be nsed for some time with
reasonable repairs. Some idea of the
extent of the old project can be gaiued
from the statement that there are 2,431
buildings, including offices, storehouses,
hospitals, stables and houses for laborers.
Third, the ditch itsel'. Tbe amount
of dirt catted out of the hole is36.6S4,9c5
cubic yards, equivalent to a canal 3C0
feet wide, 30 feet deep and soun-tliing
over 20 mile long. This excavation has
cost the Panama Canal Co. about twenty
seven and one half millions of dollars.
Fourth, a controlling interest in the
Panama railroad, which is an important
factor in the construction of the Canal.
This may be considered an offset to the
$2,480,913 that goes along with the rail
road. Fifth, if we buy the old canal and fin
ish it we will save five and one half mil
lions of dollars not so very mucb when
one remembers that tha whole cost is
to be $184,233,308.
Tlse commission in recrramending this
p irehase which it did nnanimously after
standing 8 to 1 for a long time, declares
that the Columbian Government must
grant to the United States ; in perpetuity
a strip of territory from ocean to ocean
of sufficient width; mist be placed under
the control of the Uuited Stales must
have the riht to enforce police regula
tions, preserve order, protect property
rights, and exeicise such other powers
as are appropiiate and necessary. The
business relations between the railroad
and canal companies and the Columbian
government must also be settled and the
consideration to be paid by the United
States for the privilege and righta to be
exercised in the future must be agreed
upon free from all embarrassment with
reference to past transacts ns.
Secretary Hay, taking time by the
forelock, is already negotiating with
Senor SUva, the Columbian minixter in
Washington, for the necessary conces
sions, just as he has already done with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, whichever
i ? congress jumps, therefore he win
be ready for it. In addition to being the
