Lyon County Teachers Association

Lyon County Teachers Association.
On December 4, the association met
in the high-school room at the usual
time. Meeting called to order by the
president.
All the singers not being present, Prof.
WEIGH proceeded with Methods of
teaching L. c. NJ. and G. c. D." He
prefaced the subject by saying that the
great difficulties found in teaching these
divisions of arithmetic are very largely
due to the method of procedure in the
two latter fundamental subjects, viz,
multiplication and division; and that
careful preparation for the work of the
G. c. d. and L. c. NJ. should be made
before factoring is reached. His plan,
in substance, is about as follows: In
the problems of multiplication show
that the multiplicand and multiplier
are simply makers, or factors, and these,
when multiplied tOgethet, will give q
product. After this is thoroughly un-
derstOod, use a product as a div
idend, showing that if it is di-
vided by one factor, the quotient will
be the other factor. Give thorough
drill on these points. Explain that
product, dividend and multiple are one
and the same thing. Give numerous ex-
ercises in divisibility, showing when a
number is divisible by 2, 8, 4, 8, g, 2, 8,
9, and why. If this work is well done,
by the time factoring is reached, the pu-
pill will grasp the subject without diff
ficulty, for much of the work is done al
ready.
The first exercise was followed by a
song, "The Old School Book"
Prof Rice then discussed the subject of
"Penmanship." He believes that every
teacher should pass special examina-
ton upon the blackboard as well as
paper, and claims that this subject has
equal importance with any of the CON-
mon branches, and that it should not be
so largely ignored as one of the requis-
ties of good teacher.
Miss Edgerton followed with a select
reading, 1.-THE Dying Year." which was
well rendered.

ton of great importance to the teacher.
For, If rightly viewed, it will result in
much good to the pupil, or will work to
his permanent injury. Whipping, as a
rule, tends 10 blunt the moral sensibili-
ties of the pupil. l would
hold the rod in reserve for cases where
all other means have failed to reach. /
would try and create a sentiment in
school that q scholar had descended to
the very lowest depths of morals, and
the lowest point in school department,
where it was necessary to use the rod.
The highest good that teacher can
accomplish in the school room, is to
firmly implant love for that which is
right, and the formation of such habits
as Will make the pupil useful citizen
in after life. If teacher fails in this,
then his teaching is failure.
The gentleman took the position, and
q correct one, that the school must be
governed, even very severe means and
required.

was very generally ,n iorsed by the

Mr.. John Z. Davis, the hero of the adj
venture on the Cottonwood, an account
of which we copied from the Ledger a
few days ago, called Friday, and We
learn that there were few errors in the
account published, although in its de-
tails 1t was quite as pcrilOus as reported.
Mrs. Crook first heard his calls for
help and ran TO the residence of Mr..
James a quarter of Il mile distant. Mr..
j., and Mr.. Layer, who CHANGED

ter few minutes succeeded in chop
ping the ice out to Mr.. Davis, who was
about midway across the river. His
hands were very numb and he was un-
able to hold the rope with the right one,
but with the left and his teeth he was
able to hold up until rescued. He was
in the river altogether about three-quar-
tiers of an hour and is ready to advise
friends who contemplate cold bath,
not to stay in the water quite so long.
