MAS COUNTY.
ROYALLY ENTERTAINED
Programme Rendered By Pupils of

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.

and every teacher present took a live
ly Intorost In the day's proceedings.

m., President T. J. Gary In tho chair.
The minutes of tho last meeting were

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. ;

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.
