MEETING OF K. G. ~. A.

Pursuant to notice the members Of
the Kenosha County Teachers Asso-
citation met at the High School ON Sat
urday, Jan. 90. At o'clock Vice-Pres-
ident Munson called the members to
order and stated the object of the meet
ing, viz. The election Of President,
discussion of the advisability Of q
Spring Institute, and other business.
Mr.. Hosea Barns resignation of the
Office of President was accepted and
Mr.. D. A. Mahoney, by a unanimous
vote, elected in his stead. Mr.. Maho-
Iney, ON accepting the Office, became,
er- o65cio Editor of the Educational. He
said that, in order to retain the interest
felt in the Educational and make it a
worthy exponent Of the work done by
the members Of the Association
throughout the county, and keep alive
discussions of the educational topics of
the day, he would like help not only
from the Assistant Editors but from.
all teachers and from any others who
have sufficient interest in our work to
make inquiries or suggestions. Mr.
Mahoney resigned his position as AS
sistant Editor, and Mr.. VIM. Middle
camp was elected to ill the vacancy.
Mr.. Munson rendered his resignation
Of the Office Of Assistant Editor, but it
was not accepted.
In discussing the advisability of a
spring institute the opinion seemed to
prevail that it would be expedient to
hold such institute providing a suffi-
cient number of teachers would attend
to make it success. All agreed that
the class Of teachers who teach in many
of the summer schools, in districts
where the board say "a summer term
don't amount to anything, anyhow"
and hire the lowest bidder, might be
greatly benefited by attending an in
stitute: might there learn methods of
teaching and plans for governing and
thus be enabled to make their summer
terms amount to something in spite
OF the firmly rooted opinion of many
district boards that sit can't be DONE"
AS there was no other business to
come before the meeting, it adjourned.

TEACHERS MEETING E. D,

The teachers meeting Of the E. D.
on the 10Th, at the school house in the
Flett Dist. was called to order at II
o'clock, with an attendance Of eight
teachers, which number was aftorwarQ
increased to eleven.
Somers, Pleasant Prairie, Paris and
Bristol were represented.
The session opened with the favorite
piece Of music "America;" school and
class reports followed; these reports
showed that the attendance in our
schools has generally been good, not
withstanding the bad weather; but in
d few cases the district was shown to
have taken too little interest in sending
the pupils.
The Y. z. now became cognizant of
the fact that no secretary was present
an election of Sec. pro tenn. followed.
II. j, Brande then proceeded to conduct
an exercise on Dictionary Work, con
sidering from the following plan of
work, list, voWels, accented and unac-
cented, I'd, consonants, Sd, silent let
tiers, 4th, acceRt,) chiefly the elemental
ny sounds. The difference between
A and A, also 0 and AZ was clearly
shown by combining and separating
these sounds. The time for Dictionary
work in school was then discussed: it
was decided that it should be taken up
in connection with reading, one reel
tation to be, perhaps, wholly devoted
to the work, the next wholly to read
ing.
The meeting then adjourned until
two o'clock.
The afternoon session opened with
q very interesting exercise in Primary
reading, conducted by Miss Lena
Ozanne; the pupils were required to
study not only the lesson but the pic
ture quite carefully, particular atten-
ton was given to the pauses.
This was followed by an exercise in
Arithmetic, conducted by Geo. Tillot-
son, who had selected fractions as the
topic. He called for discussion of
the question, the best time for teach
ing complex frac., deciding that they
might be best taught after division of
fractions; some explanations Of diyi-
sion of fractions Gnserting the diYisor)
were given. Then followed a discus
sion as to how subject should be
treated with new beginners; whether
the operations merely or the operations
with the reason for each should be
taught; the question was net fully
decided. The exercise was interesting
and profitable.
An exercise in composition was
then ably conducted by Theresa Mon
Afghan. Two pupils prepared compost
tions at the board, while the remainder
of the class recited about trees. NAM
ing first the parts, then kinds.and uses
when the work at the board was COM
completed the class criticised, marking
mistakes and leaving the work FOR the
pupil to do again, correcting the mis-
takes.
The Y. 2. then promised an exercise

SEX IN EDUCATION.-PreSi Bas-
com, Of the Wisconsin University, says
in reply to the report Of the Board Of
Visitors: Contrary to the opinion of
the visitors, the young women do their
work with less rather than with greater
labor than the young men, and certain
ly do not fall below them in any re-
spect as scholars. We also believe this
labor to be done by them with perfect
safety to health, nay, with advantage to
health if ordinary prudence is exer-
cised. The young women whose
health was primarily the ground Of
criticism have improved in strength
rather than deteriorated since they
have been with us, though they have
burdened themselves with extra work,
which we do not counsel"
He adds: "The exact number Of
students in our collegiate and depend
emit courses is 357. OF this number, 90
are young women, a trihe more than
one-quarter. During the past eight
weeks, the most trying weeks in the
year for students, there have been 1856
days of absence from i'll health on the
part Of the young men, and Is on the
part of young women. In addition to
the above bill of i'll health against the
young men, corresponding large num-
Der Of them have been compelled, from
the same cause, to leave the universe
ty altogether. [ would not sacrifice
any measure of health for scholarship
but it has long seemed to me plain
that young woman who withdraws
herself from society and gives herself
judiciously to college course, is far
better circumstancsd in reference to
health than the great majority of her
sex"
