TEACHERS LEARN TRICKS
NEW WRINKLES IX METHODS
SPRING AT GRESHAH INSTITUTE.
County Superintendent Robinson
Gii cs Hi Hearer PointersDi
rectors Get Their Share.
GRESHAH, Or., Jan. 19. School district
No. 4. represented by Its officers, teachers
and a hundred patrons of the schools, did
the honors yesterday at a representative
gathering 1n the new schoolhouse. It
was the occasion of a local teachers' in
stitute and school officers' meeting, pre
sided over by County Superintendent
Robinson, The threatening weather de
terred many from attending who would
otherwise have come, but the meeting was
a success In every way.
The teachers' meeting was preceded by
an educational gathering the evening be
fore In the Methodist Church, which was
crowded to the limit, by friends of edu
cation from Grasham district and other
places. This meeting opened with a
quartet by the glee club, which was fol
lowed by other music and a recitation by
2illss Grace Dougherty.
Centralization of Schools.
County Superintendent Robinson was
then Introduced and made a lengthy ad
dress upon educational topics. Among
6ther things, he said:
"This Is an age of invention and prog
ress; other lines hold conventions, why
not the schools? This is a progressive
age and vastly different from what it was
in pioneer days, and we are hero to con
elder the problems of education. The
arbitrary age and Its methods have passed
away, and we must make new paths for
the future generation. There Is a point
of view which one must know and appre
ciate in order to do successful work. It
Is said that the school curriculum Is
crowded, but if so, it is forced by other
demands than were formerly In existence,
and we must adjust the work so that we
may teach Ty readjustment and assimila
tion." Professor Robinson then spoke of the
system of bringing pupils to the schools
Jrom a long distance, by means of teams,
thus having fewer schoolhouses and larg
er districts. The plan has been success
fully adopted In Ohio. He said that the
public schools had Xollowed the pupils Into
Temote settlements until the present time,
and now It Is time lor the pupils to be
brought In to them; this would give an
increased attendance, less tardiness, and
the schools could be run at a much small
er cost. He closed by saying that Bast
tern Multnomah was one of the most fav
ored sections In th.e state for the experi
ment to be tried and that Gresham was
ihe best neighborhood for its adoption and
success.
Remarks on Good Reading:.
Yesterday morning the work of the con
vention was taken up In accordance with
a carefully prepared programme, Super
intendent Robinson having announced
that the forenoon would be devoted to
technical work and that the first sub
ject to be considered would be "The
Pirst Iessons In Phonics." This theme
had been assigned to Mrs. F. New,
teacher of the Pleasant Home school, but
she was unavoidably absent, and her sub
ject was handled by Superintendent Rob
inson, t ho said:
"Good reading is the keynote to suc
cess In every department of a school. In
ability to interest the pupil In the text
books causes the child to fall down In Its
work. Reading has revolutionized study,
and teachers have caught progressive
ideas, and that is why the subject has
come to be so largely considered In every
teachers' meeting. They are aiming to
push reading ahead in the schools so that
the child may Interpret symbols to ex
, press thought."
Old Teachers Tanerht Tie XT Tricks.
As a prelude to a further demonstra
tion of object methods by Superintendent
Robinson, Miss Madle Ausmus read a
paper on "Adapting Methods," showing
how the growing mind could be made to
grasp Ideas by the use of familiar objects
properly illustrated.
Mr. Robinson then took up the subject
again and gave a practical Illustration of
working from objects on symbols -by
means of familiar obects. He formed a
class of the teachers themselves and pre
tended that they were just learning to
read. He took six common objects, a
pencil, a small rock, a chair, a knife, and
a cup with water In It. To these articles
he gave the proper Greek names and then
drilled his class until they could pick out
either article by Its Greek name. It
was amusing to see grown men and
"women trying to learn such simple words,
and fairly Illustrated the difficulty a child
"would encounter in learning to read, al
though the words were written on the
blackboard before them. The whole
scene was uproarously funny at first, but
the class soon began to learn rapidly,
and then their teacher changed his sys
tem, by showing changes from sound sym
bols to written symbols, which he illus
trated thoroughly, interspersing his seri
ous remarks with anecdotes appropriate
and expressive. He said that his method
was to teach the pupil objects first and
words next, and the child will then be
able to assimilate the two. His sug
gestions were many and valuable to the
educators and others present.
How to Help Dull Pupils.
The next paper was read by Leonard
Merrill, principal of the Orient school, his
subject beljCy&Jcism; Purpose; How
Made." At 'its close Professor Robinson
Invited discussion on the subject and was
met with the question, by Principal An
derson, "Should dull children be given
time while reading, and should the class
be held for his Instruction; or should the
teacher let him get knowledge by observ
ing better readers?"'
Professor H. R. Winchell answered this
by saying that he had taught classes
where one pupil would do the reatiing and
hold the attention of the entire class,
and all would get the same benefits. He
did not consider It necessary for every
child to read every day.
Superintendent Robinson then gave sym
bolical illustrations on the blackboard to
show why some children do not read -well.
He showed by object-lessons that all or
gans may not be equally well trained.
The eye may be Inferior to the ear or
the voice, or vice versa. He asserted that
If the child were to become animated in
his desire to understand, so that he might
Tead with correct expression, he would
be stimulated to greater effort and eventu
ally find out what was the matter with
himself In that respect.
David M. Cathey, chairman of the
Gresham School Board, advocated the
use of glasses for eyes that failed to fol
low rapid readers, and Rev. J. F. Naugle
suggested that teachers should study their
pupils needs In this respect.
The closing subject of the morning ses
sion was handled by L. A. Reed, principal
of the Lusted School. His subject was
"Thought Element," and In his address
he gave many of his own experiences in
school. He urged upon the others to
adopt readings from history and the
standard poets as an agreeable diversion
from the regular readers. His remarks
were commented upon favorably by sev
eral others, and then Superintendent Rob
inson announced an adjournment for din
ner. Guests Contribute to Dook Fund.
Patrons of the Gresham School had pro
vided an excellent dinner for all, which
they intended to serve free, but Superin
tendent Robinson protested against such
generosity, and committed the multitude
to the choice of paying or doing without.
He suggested that each one pay 25 cents,
the money to go Into the school library
fund, and the sum realized will go far
toward purchasing more books. The din
ner was given in the banquet room of the
Grange hall.
The afternoon exercises were devoid of
lpehnleal noints. and were devoted to
the school offices and home departments,
The discussion was Ifcd by C. M. Jake,
clerk of Joint District No. 6, who made
a plea for beautiful grounds and modern
buildings In every district. He advocated
the services of a paid janitor for each
school house, justifying the expense on
sanitary grounds. He advised the election
of the best teachers to be had, early in
the year, contending that It were better
to pay good teachers high salaries for
fewer months than to hire indifferent
ones for a full school year. Then he said
he would keep good teachers year after
year. Instead of changing them so often,
as is frequently done. He thought It
would be a good idea to give the teacher
entire control of the school property, thus
relieving the district and directors from
that care. He believed that In many cases
the directors assumed too much author
ity by dictating to teachers what to do
in their class exercises. He would elect
officers who are abreast of the times in
educational methods and In sympathy
with the teachers.
Directors Have Their Dntlcs, Too.
Professor H. R. Winchell coincided with
the speaker's views and said: "The hope
of the country Is in our schools, and the
hope of the schools is in the kindergarten.
Teachers should have all authority and be
held responsible. An ignorant director In
a schoolroom is an abomination."
Chairman A. M. Osborne, of the Falr
vinw district nleo resDonded In like vein.
and advanced hiS idea that, as schools
are of so much Importance, the directors
should stand by the teachers and not
against them. "When directors Interfere
with the management of the schools," he
said, "they don't prosper. Teachers can
manage the children, but it Is frequently
the duty of the directors to manage their
parents. School boards do not usually
approve of teachers who only strive to
please everyone in the district. They may
be popular, but they never succeed."
John Palmblad, a director of the Powell
Valley School, said It was wrong to try
to keep children from swearing on tho
playground and acting like hoodlums If
they were allowed to do the same at home.
A man who cannot control his own chil
dren cannot control a school or the pa
rents of a district and should not be
elected a district officer.
Other speakers Indorsed home training,
but some were Inclined to think that many
children were sent to school for the train
ing that they could not get at home.
Need of Strong Teachers.
Professor Robinson then said: "The
drift of this discussion shows that we
don't want weak teachers. We want
those who believe in the right. Get the
idea In your heads that teachers are hu
man and are prone to make mistakes, but
have honest intentions. Teachers who can
get Into sympathy with their pupils are
good ones and the best always."
Chairman Cathey then told how the
school board may help the school by hiring1
the best teachers. The district expects
this, and the people expect their children
to bo handled in the best way, physically
and morally, by their teachers. It Is the
business of the directors to visit the
schools frequently, and they must look
after the financial affairs of the district
and its property. They should keep their
teachers year after year for the best re
sults. Mrs. H R. Winchell then read an inter
esting paper on "The Relation of the
Home to the School," which was of such
excellence that those present voted to
have it published In full In an educational
paper of the state. It covered all the
points previously gone over by the after
noon speakers.
Principal E. H. Anderson made the
closing address and paid a high tribute to
the intelligence of those present, and said
he had received more benefit from the
meeting than from any other similar meet
ing he had ever attended. He gave a
review of school work and closed the ex
ercises with a masterful address on "What
the Public School Alms to Do for the
Pupil."
Fat or School Officers' Association.
Before dismissing the audience, Superin
tendent Robinson announced that he was
in favor of forming a School Officers' As
sociation to be composed of the directors
and clerks of the county, to meet once
a year for discussions of work. He be
lieves such an association would help
work in the county, and will put the mat
ter to the various officers of each district
in a circular letter In a short time.

convent which she erected, at 4 o'clock
today, at the advanced age of 79 years.
Mother Jofccph was well known In Cath

The percentage of attendance for the
month was 96. The public schools of this
city are In a highly satisfactory condi

Tho second week of registration closed
yesterday, with only 1S1 voters on
the roll. At the close of the first week
113 had registered. Deputy County Clerk
Elmer Dixon, who has charge of the
registration book?, says that the small
number on the books Is nothing unusual
for the ehort time that the books have
been open, and that the rush will prob
ably not come before April 1.
George Cannon and wife were sent to
Kelso, Wash., yesterday by the County
Court. T&e couple were married about
one year ago In Portland, after having
been refused a license In this county, as
they were unable to secure a witness, be
cause of their paupercd condition. Can

and his wife is not at all bright. The
couple went to Molalla eoon after their
marriage. The man was offered work,
but refused it, and the county was com
pelled to take charge of both of them.

OLTMPIA, Jan. 19. It was hardly ex

wars of a political nature, that any one
man would have a walk-over for the Re

still less expected that at this early date
Governor McBrlde's administration would

SHERIFF'S JURY DECIDES.
Takes a Hand In a Row Abiobr the
Kerns.
A Sheriff's Jury was called yesterday In
the suit of Emma A. Kern against John
H. Kern, to determine who owns the fur
niture In a dw elllng-house at 420 Larrabee
street, and a decision was rendered In
favor of Josephine Kern, a claimant. She
Is the wife of John H. Kern. It Is a case
of litigation between brothers and their
wives. Emma A. Kern Is the wife of
Daniel Kern, and she recently sued and
obtained judgment against John H. Kern
for ?1979 on account of stock In the Kern
Bros. Packing Company at Slletz, sold
to John H. Kern In 197, which he never
paid for, although he Is said to have
afterward disposed of tho stock at a profit.
Recently John H. Kern received a check
for ?4000 as the proceeds of the sale of
stock In the Western Lumber Company
at Rainier. This ho Indorsed over to his
wife, Josephine, and she drew the money.
She asserts that It belongs to her,
although the check was drawn payable to
her husband. Emma 'A. Kern garnlsheed
this money In an effort to collect the J19"9
judgment, and the matter Is to be heard
In the State Circuit Court Thursday.
Emma Kern next attached the dwelling
house on Larrabee street, and also levied
upon the furniture. Mrs. Josephine Kern
produced a deed to the house and lot and
claimed to be the owner of all the house
hold goods. She testified that she had
$1600 when she came to Portland with her
husband In 1S9S. and alleged that she be
came the owner subsequently of the
money and property mentioned.
Horace Thielsen, Chief Deputy Sheriff,
sat as judge in the case, and the jury
went to the house and looked at the fur
niture, which comprises an assortment of
attractive things. John Manning repre
sented Josephine Kern as attorney, and
James Gleason appeared for Emma A.
Kern. The case was stubbornly contest
ed. Mr. Gleason, In the course of his re
marks, commented on the fact that John
H. Kern has all of the debts, and his wife

opment Is the leading topic of conversa
tion. The following little paragraph, un
der the title of "Klickitat May Receive
the Honor," Is going the rounds of the
country press m Eastern Washington, and
it Is significant that It Is being repro
duced In papers known to favor Levi An
keny for the United States Senate:
"There is a strong undercurrent of po
litical sentiment throughout a great por
tion of the state for National Committee
man George H. Baker, of Goldendale, a?
the next gubernatorial candidate; ani
reflected by utterances of a number of
the Washington newspapers. While It
Is yet too early to prophecy with accu
racy, there is no question but what Mr.
Baker If he should decide to enter th
race will have a very formidable and
enthusiastic following, and with the
chances of leadirg the state ticket decid
edly In his favor."
Mr. Baker Is at present Senator from
Klickitat County, but what Is more Im
portant is that he Is an Ankeny man and
a warm friend socially and politically of
Mr. Ankenj's political manager, George
Stevenson. Governor McBride Is resting
his administration primarily on his anti
railroad position. Mr. Ankeny can hardly
claim to be free from railroad leanings,
nnd every one knows the position Mr.
Stevenson has occupied in the past with
reference to the interests of the rail
roads. The plain intent of the Ankeny
people is to bring out an Eastern Wash
ington man who will divide the strength
of that section and thus handicap Mc
Bride in his efforts to be renominated. It
appears to be a dangerous proceeding on
the part of Stevenson, but he is a clever
politician, and notwithstanding his known
feeling for the railroads and the hatred
among the farmers for any one connected
with them, he may have a card up his
sleeve that will prove effective. In the
meantime this latest move among the
Ankeny people Is the all-absorbing topic
among McBrlde's friends, who, although
they profess not to be worried In the
least, arc taking more than passing notice
of the candidacy of Senator Baker.

UNUSUALLY MILD WINTER
EASTERN OREGON STOCKMEN AND
MINERS WANT SNOW.
Unleaa There In a Fall, the Prospect
for Next Season Are
Dubious.
BAKER CITY, Jan. 19. The snow
fall In this vicinity has been remarkably
light so far this Winter In fact, the Win
ter ha3 been a record-breaker for mild
ness. It is all right for stockmen who
have sheep and cattle on the ranges, but
they are dubious about next Spring and
Summer's prospects. The farmers who
have to depend on irrigation are all pray
ing for more snow, In order that there
may be a good supply of it piled up in
the hills to supply the streams with water
during the dry season. The placer miner
is also Joining the farmer in his wish
for more snow. The Winters have been
gradually growing milder for the past 10
years, so the old settlers say, and, while
mild weather is appreciated, there Is a
demand for more precipitation. The de
struction of the forests Is advanced as a
reason why the Winters are becoming
milder, but this is disputed by those fa
miliar with the extent of forest destruc
tion. They insist that the amount of
timber cut each season is not sufficient to
produce any material effect on the fall
or rain or snow.
Professor PInchot, the Government ex
pert, who visited several of the principal
watersheds In this part of the state
last Summer, was very emphatic Jn his
denunciation of the destruction of tho
timber in certain sections. Kc did not
claim that the destruction of the forest
trees had anything to do with the amount
of snow and rainfall, but he said it had
all to do with the retention of the snow
In the mountains In the Spring and Sum
mer season. He pointed out that, as a
rule, the hills and mountains are very
steep In Eastern Oregon, and that where
the moutnalns slope to the south, east
or west, to destroy the trees on .tnese
slopes meant the early melting of tho
L snow In the Spring, and the consequence
would be early floods and later droutn.
whereas, if the timber were not destroyed,
the snows of Winter sifting down througn
the treea would be protected by their
shade in the Spring and Summer, so that
they would melt gradually and keep tho
streams supplied until late In the SuJimer.

NO FEBRUARY EXAMINATIONS.
ShortaKe or Funds In Washington.
Educational Department.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 19. State Superintend
ent Bryan yesterday issued a circular
announcing that there will be no state
teachers' examination in February, a
condition made necessary by a shortage
of funds in the educational department.
Superintendent Bryan made an effort to
secure enough funds to cover the quar
terly examinations, but the appropria
tions committee of the Legislature left
him 5250 short, and this will account for
tho omission of the February examina
tion. In explanation of the matter the
circular states:
"While the law requires the holding
of four examinations anuually. It doe3
not contemplate Impossibilities; but a
specific provision of law positively forbids
the creation of an lndeDteuness tor nus
office by any state officer, and Imposes
severe penalty for the violation of this
provision. No Indebtedness will be cre
ated for this office while I hold the posi
tion, and of this fact the appropriation
committees of the last Legislature were
positively and emphatically Informed.
"The determination to hold no February
examination this year was arrived at
after a free consultation with the Attorney-General,
and with his approval.
"The next examination will be held in
May, and examinations will be held regu
larly thereafter as long as funds for' the
examination of manuscripts are avail
able. "County Superintendents axe advised to
grant temporary certificates to those who
may need them, in so far as this can bi
done under existing Jaw, tfnd all County
Superlntendents are hereby requested to
give publicity to this notice."
The School Superintendents of the vari
ous counties throughout the state were
recently notified by letter from the Staf
SuDerlntendent that. agreeaDie to tne ac
tion of the State Board of Education, at
its recent meeting, midwinter eighth -grade
examinations will hereafter be held,
and but one eighth-grade examination
will be held In the Spring. The midwinter
examination this year will be held Janu
ary CO and 31, and the Spring examina
tion will be held May 22 and 23. Students
and teachers must accommodate them
selves to these conditions, as no other
examinations will, under any circum
stances, be held this year.
After this year the midwinter examina
tion will be held at a somewhat earlier
date.

Contract for nulldlntr the New Ditch
AVI11 Be Let In a Ferr Days.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Jan. IS.
There are already .signs of the coming
boom at Kennewick. In the lower part of
the county. People are beginning to crowd
in to Inject the lands under the new
ditch. The contract for construction will
be let within a few days, and work will
commence at once. It Is taid the com
pany will begin selling as ooon as the con
tractors are at work. The Northern Pa
cific paid 5125.000 for the Delhavcn Irri
gation Company's property, and will profi
ably expend $75,000 on thex canals. The
land to be reclaimed amounts to 12.000
acres, which Is about one-third as much
as there Is now In cultivation In the en
tire Yakima Valley. It la believed that
settlement will be rcpid, as the com
pany's nolicy Is said to be to effer the
lands, at cost In order to get settlers lo
cated" as toon as possible. The country
nrdund Kennewick Is as good as there is
In the Yakima Valley. The seasons are
longer than in the upper valley., the soil
Is rcmarTcably rich, and the location ia
favorable In every respect. Land men
here predict that the settlement of the
Kennewick district will resemble the rush
for Oklahoma reservation claims.
The farmers who have been agitating
the question of preserving the ranges and
watersheds will try to effect a permanent
organization by the appointment of a
standing committee, composed oi one rep-
