DEFINITIONS IN READING.

In many Of the readers in general
use the more difficult words are defined
by synonys or words nearly synony-
NOUS. These, not few teachers re-
quire their pupils to commit to memory
and recite. What particular object
these teachers have in view, or what
good is accomplished thereby it is not
easy to determine. Certainly if it is to be
made an exercise in synonyms, the diff
ferences in meaning as well as the sim
ilarity must be pointed out. But if the
design be to give the pupil better
understanding of the word in question
the object is in a large majority OF
cases not attained the definition is not
so easily comprehended as the word
itself.
The better way is to draw out the
pupils knowledge of the words from
the context, so far as this is possible
and when this cannot be done to SEND
the scholars to the dictionary to FIND
out the meaning for themselves. This
will require more work on the part Of
the teacher, but the extra labor will be
amply compensated by the better re
suits secured. IMm

The growth Of the country is well
shown by the fact that the man is still
alive who, after middle age, built the
first railway engine made on this CONT
nent. That man is our esteemed and
.phllanthropic countryman, Peter Coop
er. He built the engine after his own
designs III Baltimore little more than
thirty years ago, and it was success
fully operated ON the Baltimore and
ONO Railway. Mr.. Cooper was the
tlrst person to apply with success an
thraclte coal to the pudding of iron,
which he did in a rolling and wire mill
that ne had erected in New York. He
a1terWard removed the machinery to
trenton, n. j., where he erected the
largest rolling-mill at that time (1s45)
In the United States for the manufac-
ture OF railway iron, and at which he
was subsequently the first to roll
,Wrought-iron beams for fire-proof
buildings. Mr.. Cooper was rs last
February, and feels as deep an interest
IN the country and IN all the people,
particularly the laboring classes, as
when he reared that noble monument

sECRRTARY'S REPORT.

BAssET STATION, May 10, 1877.
According to notice, a meeting OF the
Kenosha County Teachers Association
was held in the school house at Will
mot, May 10th.
At 1915 the meeting was called to
order by Mr.. Griffith, who, in the alb
sence of the President, took charge Of
the work.
There were present eighteen mem
bers, thirteen of whom were teachers.
The first exercise was one in Arith-
metic, conducted by w. Griffith; sub
ject, Bank Discount Many of the
technical terms were we'll defined, and
the subject Of banks thoroughly dis
cuSsed.
This was followed by an exercise in
Grammar; subject, Case, conducted by
J. Sercomb DWelt particularly on
the possessive case. Questions arose
as to the manner of forming the pos
sessive plural of some names. Also,
whether an extra syllable be added in
the pronunciation of such words as
James's, Moses's, etc. While yet dis
cuSsing this point, dinner hour was an
nOunced, and after one hour and a half
intermission, this subject was again
resumed. There was some difference
of opinion in the parsing Of the word
mine in the sentence, "Heis friend
of NINE" a
Short intermission, followed by an
exercise on the diacritical markings of
the letters, by f. Gull. The teachers
received many new ideas from this
recitation
1t brought up the question, at what
age shall e~pupils be taught these
sounds? Quite number thought it
best to commence with the third read
ing class; others, that it might be
taught to very young children, those
beginning to read.
The teacher Of Geography being alb
sent, the time was fully taken up with
the three branches and the discussions.
The teachers expressed themselves
as being well pleased with the days
proceedings, and hope the meetings
will be continued.

CHEAP TEXTBOOKS.

Complaint is often made in reference
to the high price of textbooks, and it
is gratifying to notice that the leading
publishers are greatly reducing their
prices. From circulars recently re-
ceived, we learn that publishers now
offer their books at from 40 to 80 per
cent. off from retail rates, to district
boards, and the attention of the people
generally is called to the law which
authorizes district boards to purchase
at wholesale rates, thus effecting a
great saving to the district. Nearly
300 districts in the State RE now sup
plying their schools with books under
the provisions of this law, and with
most excellent results. 1t is to be
hoped that this subject may receive
that attention which it's Importance
demands.

The WAR between Russia and Tur-
key continues and becomes enlarged.
Other partly independent States are be-
coming engaged in it, and other nations
can scarcely escape becoming involved
in it. Several battles have been fought
and sometimes with considerable loss,
and some fortified places and towns
have been taken. Sometimes the
Russians have been successful and
sometimes the Turks. Generally we
believe the Russians have been success
full on the Danube, and the Turks in
Asia Minor and on the black Sea-
Russia has massed q great army on the
Danube with the intention Of crossing
| it and will probably soon make the
attempt. First reports are not always
reliable and it is always difficult here
to give the state of the war at the time
Of writing.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY

Concerning the State University and its
present condition the Elko Independent OF
June 9th says:
From D. R. Sessions, Principal of the State
University, we received polite invitation to
attend the examination at that Institution
yesterday, of which privilege we gladly
avaied ourself, and were amply rewarded tor
the time consumed in listening to the exer-
cses, by the pleasure experienced IN wit
Messing the notable improvement and marked
progress which has been made by the pupils
during the past six months MIR. Sessions Is
devoting himself most assiduously to the
task before him, a convincing earnest OF
which is strikingly manifested IN the very
rapid and tattering advancement made IN the
various branches of learning by the students
under his charge. The difficulties encoun-
tered in establishing school of this class in
this country were necessarily both numerous
and complicated, but through the persever-
inc industry of Mr.. Sessions, by far the most
formidable have been overcome, and the IN
stitution so advanced in point of educational
advantages as to reflect credit upon the State
and to assert the wisdom Of its establishment.
Being prevented from attending at the open
inc of the examination, we were only present
during portion of the time devoted to re
view of the study of the Constitution Of the
United States, and the prOmptness with
which any and all questions relating to the
subject were properly answered, was conclu-
sive evidence Of thorough understanding OF
the principles embodied III that famous in
strument.

Of spiritual seance at Austin, the ReVeille
of Monday says:
A man who said he was an ''Injun fighter
from the ground up walked up to the bar in a
Main street saloon this morning, and told the
barkeepeI to ':set out the lightning" The
barkeeper referred him to the telegraph office.
The man said he had never tried it, but it
had been the ambition of his life to lick
barkeeper but when the tumbler-slinger
reached under the bar and took out two
whistler six-shooters and club, the Indian
fighter said he did not mean polite, gentle
manly barkeeper, but one of those fellows who
wore paste diamonds and parted their hair
in the middle. His apology was considered
sufficient.

''Paladise Alarned" is the startling head

From T. H. Wayte, proprietor of the Win
nemucca and Paradise Valley stage line, who
arrived in town last evening, we learn that
the people of Paradise Valley, particularly
those on the outside settlement, are very
much alarmed about the Indians. Fears are
entertained that rowing band of red skins
will attack the ranchers in isolated settle
ments, and these fears have been heightened
by the fact that the Indians stole some
horses from James Bycn3 ranch last Sun
day night Settlers are arming themselves
so as to be prepared, in the event of al
attack, to defend themselves and their pro-
perty 1t is known that there are bands of

have no control, and the peace protestatlons
of those chiefs is no guarantee that those
bands will not commence depredations.

4 man who has undertaken a contract III
Foot and Walkers Line is the subject Of the
following notice in the Elko independent Of
Tuesday:
Charles Dido. the reportorial pedestrian,
who. on a 5000 wager, is hoofng it from
Ogden, Utah. to Sacramento, arrived here at
$50 P. NJ. Sunday, 6 days out. Accord
inc to terms of the bet, the distance-143
miles-is to be made in 20 days, Sundays
excepted, being ON an average little over
81 miles per day. Dido is connected with
the New York Sun, and the other party to
the bet is Prescott of the Chicago Tribune.
The former was for a long time employed by
the Government as an interpreter and scout
among the Sioux, where he claims to have
acquired the ability to accomplish great dis
tances on foot in an unusually short space Of
time. On reaching here the walkist was
something over % miles ahead OF time, and
appeared in a condition to step over to the
Pacific without starting hair He had ere
dentials from the section bosses along the
route thus far to prove that he wasn't riding
brake bars, and Judging from the develop
ment of his muscle, we are inclined TO the
opinion that he'll get thar on time If his
foot don I slip nor the savages Of Reno scalp
him
