reaehsrs Association

The first meeting of the Lyon county
teachers association. for this year was
held in this city last Saturday. The at
tendance was fair and the meeting was,
on the whole, very profitable one. A
short talk was first given, by N. w. Som
nedecker, on Unity of Effort The
speaker took the grounds that united
persistent effort, on the part of the leach
ers, would result in doing very much
good. The pupils of the country schools
have the best natural advantages in their
favor. They have not the evil influences
TO contend with that the pupils of the
city do, and should make more progress.
But the reverse Is generally true. The
plan as suggested by MIR. Sonnedecker
for a more united effort, was that the
teachers should keep memorandum OF
all the experiments tried, and to report
the successes or failures of the same to
the association.
Prof DaYis then favored the assOci a
ton with a talk on Monthly Examina-
tions. Nothing exerts such an influence
on the pupil in every way as written ex,
aminations. A child knows nothing OF
study unless il can put it in language
and in writing. A teacher may be salts
fed that pupil is thorough, but upon
examination he is surprised to ind that
the pupil has not retained its knowledge
There is streng educational power con
nected with monthly examinations
They are an excellent drill in language
and the formation of character. They
| are great incentive TO pupils TO stand
high in their Studies and
TO retain their standing in the class
Therefore make them more prompt and
regular in attendance The examina
tons should not only consist Of the
| matter of the study, but also be made q
drill in spelling, uses of capital letters
punctuation and writing.
The papers should be returned aftel
corrected; and be made the topic OF th.
next recitation in pointing out common
errors. An objection was brought GU
that the correction OF SO many paper.
each month made too much work To-
the teacher. This can be oDviated b.
distributing the examinations Through
out the month. Or by class notes ex
changing papers and the corrections
take the place of q regular recitation.
The association took up the question
of organizing other associations in dit
ferent parts Of the county. The ques
ton was pretty thoroughly discussed
but NO definite plan arranged. On me

\ convention of Democrats and
Greenbackcrs met at the court house in
this city last Saturday and selected n
committee made up of members of both
parties, who put in nomination the fol-
lowing ticket which was subsequently
ratified by the convention:
For representative from the SEND DIS
trict, Van r. Holmes, of EmpOFia; S3rJl

" attorney, VIM. a. Randolph, of EN-

judge, Joseph Frost, Fremont township
county cob missioner, 3rd district, Levi
Dumbauld, ElmendarO township; super.

j. Watson, of EmpOria.
by reviewing the ticket, it will be
seen that the Democrats have made al
most Il clean sweep of the platter, all OF
the candidates, save one, being or having
been original adherents of that party
The exception is Mr. Frost, whose
political status is said TO be a matter Of
conjecture among his neighbors though
he is recognized as an estray from tho
Republican fold The personnel of ,hs
ticket is quite respectable, hut the can
didates are sailing in the wrong boat, ana
