THE LOCAL TEACHERS' INSTITUTE method is considered the most

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

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

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

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

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.
