. . . . THE LOCAL TEACHERS' INSTITUTE method is considered the most I prominent and popular. In more An Interesting and Profitable Session Held at Toledo. The Oregon Lincoln County Special Local Teachers' Institute convened at the court house in the city of Toledo, on the morning of May ioth, to consider subjects of interest to the common schools of the county. The meeting was called to order by County Superintendent S. G. Irvin, at 10 o'clock. After the an nouncement by the superintendent of the object of the convention, the election of secretary and the regis tration of members, the regular work of the institute was entered upon. The first paper presented was upon the subject of "School Gov- ernmpnt" by Prof. L. K. Erooks, principal of the Toledo city school. The professor clearly demonstated the importance of the subject and gave some very good suggestions of practical utility. A lively dis cussion followed occupying the remaining time of the forenoon ses sion in which most of the teachers present participated. Many practi cal ideas were advanced among which the subjects of Visiting School, Making Rules, Discipline, etc., were freely and ably discussed. The general opinion prevailed that the promiscuous visiting of schools is detrimental and should be limited. advanced primary instruction all the methods should be employed both seperately and combined. Reading has two objects, viz: Re ceiving and imparting information. Oral reading rendered m such a manner as clearly to convey the meaning of the author or writer may be denominated elocution. Miss Nettie Wright presented a paper on "The Teacher's Prepara tory Study." It was held that no teacher is fully prepared to teach a class unless she has prepared her self by previously studying the lesson. The Chautauqua reading course was recommended as a great help in the teacher's avocation. The teacher should be prepared to teach morals bv evamnle as well as pre cept. The subject of "Physiology" was presented by Mrs. E. J. Norton in a manner which seemed to awaken an interest among all present. The speaker clearly proved that no sub ject taught in our schools was of more practical importance. A sound mind in a diseased and emaciated body cannot exist. We should teach our pupils the func tions of the different organs of the body and the laws to preserve them in their normal conditions. The Honorable C. B. Crosno, a member of the citv school hnnrrl School officers, parents and teachers addressed the institute on "The only should be encouraged to visit 1 Relation of the School Board to the our common schools. Additions to our regular code of school rules should never be made until necessity requires. The school should be considered and governed as a state in miniature. The pupils in the advanced grades should be allowed to assist 111 legislating for the school. Corporal punishment to a reasonable extent should be tolerated. Pun ishment of large pupils should be suspension or expulsion. The quiet school is not necessarily the best school. Popularity of the teachers is not always a true test of excellence. The Monday afternoon session was devoted to the subjects of "Arithmetic ' and "Busy Work." Prof. Geo. Bethers, of Yaquina, presented the subject of Arithmetic, and in a lucid blackboard demon stration presented contracted pro cesses whereby by combining writ ten and mental work results could be readily obtained with a great saving of time and written work. Prof. Bruce, also of Yaquina, presented a concise operation for extracting the square root. The professor, by the use of a diagram, made the process of extracting the square an easy and pleasant task. The subject of "Busy Work," introduced by Supt. Irvin, elicited a lively discussion. It was held by some that five minutes taken oc casionally from the regular program and occupied either by the teacher or school in a general discussion of some practical topic would not only Iwa means of rest and mental recreation, but also an incentive to inquiry into the more practical phenomenon of every day life. Fri day afternoons might be occupied by literary exercises, spelling matches, or by mechanical or chem ical experiments Teacher and District. " The address was very instructive and thankfully received. Prof. F. M. Gormley read the closing paper of the institute, which was upon the subject of Mental Arithmetic. Mental arithmetic is I an important study, a fact which is shamefully ignored by even col lege graduates, many of whom Jr., and the little folks who have so ably entertained us. THOSB IN ATTENDANCE.

The present senate seems to be as completely under tbe domination of the sugar trust as the senate was that reported and held up the Wilson bill. Indeed it is more so. It is admitted that if the Dingley bill passes in the shape as recom mended by the senate committee, that it will put an extra $10,000,000 per year into the pockets of the sugar trust. It is interesting: to note that the price of stock in the sugar trust raised $3 per share the same day the bill was reported. io.-.i..-. ir . o. c t ' t i'. i. ti ( is,"ir-lrt : col's' i n'l' ii;i fin it (: ilf 'l'ns i'. fiiu.l inono.V er Toledo Market Report.
