The Lyon county teachers met in the
high school room, Saturday afternoon
June 4, Superintendent o. D. Wharton
presiding.
The first thing on the program was
botany, by Frank Kizer. who, by his en-
thusiasm and knowledge Of his subject
gave a very instructive talk. He said
the object in country schools was &c
create interest, emulation and enthusi
asm, also to develop observation in the
pupils. He advised the use of natural
specimens when possible and pictures
made by tracing paper and copying pad
when not, each one to have a specimen
in hand for close inspection. Teach
CLASH fcation of plants by families using
their common family names. This was
followed by general discussion nearly
all giving valuable bits of experience.
Joseph Hill next gave talk on read
ing, which was as usual, full of deep
practical thought. The discussion was
on the feasibility of reading outside OF
the usual readers, some faYOring news
papers or periodicals, others different
books. Finally the papers which are
published to be used as readers were
talked of and being new and cheap they
were thought desirable.
Frank Kizer made the astonishing
statement, that in Germany school-bOoks
for six or eight years schooling only

Joseph Hill moved that a committee be
appointed TO investigate the school-bOok
question IN Germany.
Joseph Hill, Frank Kizer and w. w.
Sonnedecker were appointed. They
will start for Germany as soon as they
can be spared from labOrs here.
The association adjourned for the
summer, the next meeting being the
first Saturday in September.
