Sol Garde, Proprietor THE NAME THAT ASSURES THE QUALITY PEDAGOGUES AT ESTACADA INTERESTING MEETING OF THE TEACHERS OF CLACKA MAS COUNTY. ROYALLY ENTERTAINED Programme Rendered By Pupils of Estacada Schools and Instruc tive Talks Made by Lead ing Educators. Tho Mnrcb meeting of the Clack amas County Teachers' Association was hold at Estacada, on Saturday, March 28. This mooting being tho first meet ing hold In 1908, was well attended, and every teacher present took a live ly Intorost In the day's proceedings. Mooting called to order at 10:30 a. m., President T. J. Gary In tho chair. The minutes of tho last meeting were read by the secretary and approved. Tho regular semi-annual election of olUcers was ordered with following result: County Superintendent T. J. Gary (ex-ofllnlo) presldeat; 8. J. Flint, vlco-prosldont; Fannie O. Por ter, secretary; Maggie Wattenpnugh, treasurer. Mrs, Josephine Usher, of tho Couch School, Portland, gavo a most practi cal and Interesting speech on "Pri mary Numbers." Mrs. Usher Illus trated to the teachers, her mothod of dealing with the little ones In this twork. . The explanation was replete with original devices when using the countors. She emphasized the . fact thut teachers should use as objects ..things that the children like, things that Interest thom. The primary teacher must plan for busy work that will Interest children. In learning to count, teachers must observe that the all essential thing Is comparison. Materials that the child may touch or see, as pictures, rings, dolls, blocks, etc., should be used. Much preparation-must be made for imaginary work along this line, fof the teacher must secure and keep the attention of tho class, this Is often done by hav ing the child draw the object and ap ply to the number work, thus bringing tho lesson in touch with the child's experience "Getting Results In the Country Schools' was the subject of a care fully prepared and well read paper by Mr. F. M. Gill, of Estacada. Tho speaker considered the results ob tained tho results obtained In a "one room country school. He emphasized the fact that the one aim of the teacher was to make good citizens, and showed how very necessary It was fgr Instructors to Inspire their pupils In their work, thus demanding good attendance. Tho speaker also said that tho school funds at tho present time wore Inadequate for the domands. Some thing must be dono to raise moro money for our common school. Sev eral plans were discussed by which schools might be Improved financial ly. Tho following participated In the lively discussion which followed: Supt, T. J. Gary, Ex-Supt. II. G. Starkweather, Miss Lulu Marsh, S. J. Flint and Mrs. H. D. Rlnearson. "Needs of Our Country Schools," was tho title of a topic presented for goiioral consideration of the teachers. The Instructive discussion was led by our worthy Superintendent, T. J. Gary, who pointed out many of the needs of our country schools, as ob served during recent visits to the schoolB. The Superintendent stated that ho bellevod If the teachers were vigilant and knew definitely what was ueudad, that tho school boards would respond and furnish same. Mr. GUI and Mr. Flint also added helpful suggestions to the topic. On motion, the association adjourn ed to discuss a most delicious dinner that was prepared for all visiting teachers by tho good pooplo of the town. -Afternoon Seiilon. Tho first part of the afternoon pro gramme conslstod of songs, recita tions and drills, furnished by the pu pils of Estacada school. The efforts of the boys and girls, reflocted great credit on the teachers, Professor Flint aud Miss Stevens for the careful training. Miss Davles spoke at some length n, "School Gardens," showing, that such work brought about better citi zenship, and a better feollng among pupils, also a love for the beautlog of nature. This work elevates thought, and affords a better field for language training. The speaker compared the work of different states along this line. Superintendent Gary next spoke in his usual instructive manner of his pergonal experience in gottlng teach ers and pupils Interested in beautify ing their school grounds, and plant ing garden seeds, and stated that It was amazing the Interest exhibited by pupils when Interested In this line of work. He Bald much had been ac complished In Clackamas County this year In the way of gardons. . Principal L. A. Read, of Parkplace, addressed the association on ' the all Important subject, "Educntlon for the Industries, with Special Attention to School Gardening." The speaker spoke first upon the great Importance of establishing a County High School, the tax that would have to be raised for same, would be very small, when compared to the amount of good de rived from such an institution. The spoakor showed how much advance ment had been made along various lines, Why not spend Borne money to advance the educational Interests of Clackamas County? We Bhould have taught in our schools, branches that tend to the trades, industries, manuafctures, and agricultural pur suits. The spoaker explained his per sonal method of dealing with pupils In this work, and advanced Beveral valuable suggestions along these lines, closing his topic with a strong plea for the boys In educational lines. Superintendent T. J. Gary spoke at length on "The University Appropri ation Bill," he said each teacher should be Interested In this bill, and should express an opinion. The Super intendent heartily endorsed the pas sage of this bill. Several teachers participated In the discussion which followed. The association received a rare treat In the form of an address on "Expression in Grades Beyond the First," delivered by Mrs. Llsher of Portland Schools. Mrs. Usher pre sented the common errors that city and country teachers make alike. Among those mentioned were: letting voice drop at end of line; too much emphasis; undue emphasis at begin ning, too much expression and un due pronoun emphasis. The speuker emphasized the Importance of the teacher Insisting upon getting the thought from the printed page. Be careful to teach emphasis of pause and emphasis of force. Note their distinctions. One relates to the now thought, while the other does not. Pupils are apt to make these mistakes If not observed by a thoughtful and attentive teacher; these difficulties may be eliminated by carefully pre; pared questions on the reading les son, and the little ones will enjoy the recitation, and not dread same. The following resolutions were passed: Resolved, That a vote of thanks be extonded to our worthy President Gary for making it so pleasant, to our zealous secretary, to -the ladles and gentlemen on the day's program for their instructive taiKS, 10 leacners and pupils of Estacada, for their very entertaining programme, to the good people of the town for their royal entertainment, and delicious dinner, to the pastor and members of the M. E. church for tho use of their com fortable church, and to the 0. W. P. men for their kindnesses extended on said trip. ; . FANNIE G. tORTER, ' Secretary. ROBBINS FOR REPRESENTATIVE. Molalla Merchant Becomes Candidate on Democratic Ticket. L..W. Robblns, a well-known mer chant of Molalla, has filed his peti tion for the Democratic nomination for Representative, in the company of .W. F., Young of Wilsonville, and W. A. Heylman, of Estacada. Other Democratic nominees will be R. B. Beatio, sheriff; J. E. Jack, assessor,; J. W. Smith, commissioner; William Heerdt, recorder of conveyances. Secretary Eby, of the county central committee, states that filings will be made for clerk and treasurer. REPUBLICANS IN MAJORITY OUTNUMBER THE DEMOCRATS ON REGISTRATION BOOKS THREE TO ONE. ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT Voters Slow to Register For Primary Nominating Election and Figures Are 1000 Behind Total Voting Strength. It Is hardly probable that the reg istration will exceed 4000. This figure is fully 1000 less than the -total vot ing Btrength of Clackamas County and there Is no hope that the voters will come through In sufficient num bers to swell the total to anything like the actual strength. Up to Sat urday the registration at the office of County Clerk Greenman totaled 3667, and of this number 2591 were Repub licans, 853 were Democrats and 223 were Socialists, Independents or de clined to state. It will be seen that the Republicans - registered outnum ber the Democrats three to one. The books will close for the primary nominating election next Tuesday at 5 o'clock. Until that time Mr. Green man will keep his office .open from 5 to 7 p. m., in order that everybody may have an opportunity to register. He has followed this practice for sev eral weeks to accommodate the men In the mills and other voters who do not have time to register during the day,' but the result has been very disappointing. IF YOU WERE TO SAVE the time you spend each yew in ob taining thro Indirect sources the in formation contained in Polk's Oregon ft Washington Gazetteer, It would be well worth $7.00. .. Have you an order In for the next edition? Mr. Campbell Signs Statement. . James U. Campbell, candidate for the Republican nomination for Rep resentative, has changed his platform, subscribing to Statement No. 1. Mr. Campbell's original pledge was a promise to obey the action of the vot ers on the People's Instruction Amendment, which does not differ materially from Statement No. 1, bur. he has concluded that it is better for party success for all of the legisla tive candidates to run on the same platform. The legislative candidates who have signed Statement No.-1, are Walter A. Dimick, Linn E. Jones, J. U. Campbell, Charles H. Dye, George W. Dixon, F. M. Gill and E. D. Olds. "Uncle Sam's armada is a success,'' stys a contemporary, 'and all the more because its mission is friendly to all nations." '. Quite true. Perhaps, however, the target practice record at Magdalena Bay showing how we can behave if we got angry is contrlbutary to that success.
