TEACHERS AT DUFUR.
The VaTt county teachers, respond
ing to the cll of their worthy superin
temlent, C. L. Gilbert, met at Dufur
Saturday, April Uth.
At 11 o'clock tlie superintendent be
gan the work hy explaininc the need,
the pressing need, of just such meetings
as they were to have that day. Also ex
pressed his great pleasure in the attend
ance, and his regret that State Super
intendent J. H. Ackerman, as expected,
on account of a more imperative dutj ,
could not be there to witness the enthu
siasm their attendance proved.
After the son?, "America,"' Mr. A. J.
Bruham, with his penial cordiality,
welcomed those present to the beautiful
town of Dutur. Supt. Landers, of The
Dalles public school, in behalf of the
teachprs, responded with a few words of
prutefu. thanks.
The response was followed by a song
by the quartet and a recitation by Miss
lidn Sherwood, which very emphatically
snored the persevering spirit of some
teachers. The excellent rendering de
serves favorab'e mention.
Then followed an excellent paper by
Prof. Ne2, of The Dalles, on the ali-at-sorbinK
topic of government, "Kespect
for Liiiv." One point, among many!
that were stated, was that our covert-:
inent is not suffering todav so much 1
from a lack of good laws as it is from
its multiplicity of laws whose very enact
ment might become a tedious affair to ;
even cood citizenship. If the execution
of a law is leuientlv considered and onlv .
- i
spasmodically applied, the result is sure
to cheapen not only the iaw-breakers
own self esteem, but his faith and re
spect for the laws of his country. This
cultivates criminality. The application SELVe Money
to the school was : Firs?, school laws
should be those absolutely necessarv;
second, at the expense of a teacher's in
nate kindness, school laws should be
rieidly executed; third, children must
not bt trained in habits of law-breakiwr
for tiie future expanse of the state gov
ernment. After a short intermission the teachers
were invited into an adjoining room,
where tables, daintily decorated with
flowers and doilies and laden with the

Following the opening song the after
noon's work of Geography began with a
paper on nature work by Miss Minnie
Elton, of The Dalies. The subject was
very understanding- treated. The points
which mav interest those who were not
there may be briefly stated. Mature
work is t tie true basis of not only Geos-
raphy, but also the eciences. Children ,
have some idea of hill, brook, town,
pond, trees, fishes and flowers before
coming to school. This knowledge
should be also used in the school room
before books are used. Much time is '
graphical work, should be one oi the
helps to make Geography interesting, '
as it appeals to tbeir practical know 1- j
edge, especially to a city pui'. In pre-,
senting this topic, an outline should be
prepared and. a type secured as near!

Miss Emma Roberts read a moat ex
cellent paper on "Aids in Teaching
Geography." Among many aids, ehe
suggested these which seem worthy of
mention: A live teacher, not one who
breathes merely; the careful planning
of one's work ; the uue of pictures, and
tion should be the watchword.
The session closed at 4 o'clock, and
the intensity of the expression worn by
most of the teachers showed the enthu
siasm and interest the subject called
forth.
Among those present were: Hnpte.
