TzAcHERs' MEsrNa.-Saturday fore
noon at 10 o'clock, by invitation of
Col. Collins, Superintendent of Public
Schools of Storey county, we visited
the monthly meeting of the Teachers of
Storey county, held in the School room
of the Grammar School of the Third
Ward. There were present eight teach
ers and quite q number of persons in
terested in the Public Schools of the
county. These meetings are for the
purpose Of mutual improvement in the
best method Of teaching. Several essays
were read by the teachers. The first
one was by Mrs. Summers, the teacher
Of the Third Ward Grammar School.
The subject was: Teaching as a Pro-
fession." We are not disposed to eu-
logize, but the essay was certainly a
most excellent production, and should
by all means be published, as it not
only furnishes much light on the science
of teaching, but points out the duties OF
those who assume the responsible posi-
ton of training the minds Of the young.
Shaping as it were the future destiny of
the rising generation. The second
essay was read by Miss Cordiell. The
subject being: "Education;" and was
well handled, showing all the benefits
arising from the proper training Of the
human intellect. The third was by
Miss Barnstead. Subject: "Object Of
Teaching" Her essay was not lengthy,
but directly to the point, showing in a
clear and lucid manner the great
benefits arising from teaching BY
this method. The fourth and last
was by Miss Rogers; Subject:
"Air and Exercise" The essay of Miss
Rogers went on to show the great beue-
fits arising from having good ventilation
in school rooms and the good results
arising from active and healthful exer-
else by the children. After the compo-
sitions by the teachers were read, quite
a number of interesting points relative
to the best mode Of teaching were dis
cussed at considerable length. Many
excellent suggestions were made by
Col. Collins, who, we think, is the right
man in the right place. After spending
two hours in a highly beneficial manner
to the teachers, it was voted to take for
the subject at the mex meeting, "The
proper Method Of teaching Geography"
to which meeting all persons inter-
ested in the Public Schools of Storey
county are cordially invited. From
what we saw Of the Teachers Meet
ing on Saturday there is not q doubt
in our mind but that they will not only
prove of vast importance to the teach
ers, but will be highly instructive to all
who may attend them. Let the parents
of children attend these meetings and
see what is being done in order to bring
our Public Schools to a high state Of
perfection. Let parents become familiar
with the course Of training that their
children are undergoing in school, and
then adapt the training at home to that
which they receive in school-not have
the seed properly planted in the school
room and then dig it up when the child
returns home at night. Learn to CO.
operate with those who have the edu-
eating of your children, if you would
