The science of teaching requires the
following Order, attention, percep-

Attention must be voluntary and
gained through curiosity and the nat
ural desire to know. The art of Sc
curing perception, consists in using
ideas, before words and rules are re-
quired of the pupil. Definitions are
memorized when the child does not
understand them at all. 1t is an error
to help too much" X.

TEACHERS INDEPENDENT ASso-
CITATION.

A number of teachers from the
southern part of Pierce county, in pur-
suance to a call from J. T. McCleary,
Rebecca Taylor, and l.. ID. Golf, met at
the school-hOuse IN Maiden Rock on
Saturday, the 18th of Oct. and proceed
ed to organize themselves into a perma-
nent association.
S.B. McKenny was appointed to draw
up constitution which was adopted
by Che association. The constitution
provides that the association shall
hereafter meet on the last Saturday of
each month at 9 o'clock, A. NJ, at the
schoOl-house in Maiden Rock, and that
the officers shall hold their office for
period of six months. The associa-
ton then proceeded to the election of
officers under the constitution as fol-
lows:

Taylor, Vice President L.. ID. Golf,
Secretary; Miss Lizzie Davis, Assist
Treasurer A. Rosenberger, JanitOr.

called by Miss Lizzie Davis who pro-
ceeded to give the Association her
ideas in regard to the best manner of
conducting recitations in that branch
of study. The class was then given,
ho ,,,.ECf1nnf m A
who gave the society some good prac-
tical ideas as to the best method of
teaching beginners. Mr.. Jesse Ros-
enberger took class in the Constitu-
tion of the U. S., and proceeded to give
the Association his views concerning
