A special meeting of the common coun-
Gil was held on Friday evening of last
week to consider the question Of fire
limits and to hear report Of special com
mittees named in our last issue. The
committee reported unanimously in favor
of fire limits and recommended the
following territory to be included in the
same:
Blocks four, five, six, nine, ten and
eleven, and unplatted land on west side
of the street opposite block four, that
living between Block ten and the river,
and also the west half of block twelve.
The committee were requested to draft
an ordinance in regard to fire limits and
to present the same at the next meeting
of the council, to be held on the 2lst inst.
This is a question in which all proper
ty owners are interested, and it is hoped
that all will confer with the committee
and council at as early date as possible
and present their views.

Report of Teachers Association

Report of Teachers Association
held at Trenton, Dec. 5, 1885.
The meeting was called to order at
1920 a. m. by Supt. Murphy. In the
absence of the President of the 5.
W. Div, E. X. Barnard was elected
President pro tenn. j. |. Steele was
appointed temporary Secretary and j.
9. Halstead, Critic for the day.
The program opened by the state
ment of a geographical fact by each
member of the Association.
The first topic on the program,
Penmanship, was discussed by J. c..
Halstead in an interesting and in
structive manner, showing his ease of
conversance with the subject. He
would ground his pupil well in the
theory as to principles, hight, shad-
ing, spacing, pen-holding and position
at desk. Then, if followed by unre-
hitting and intelligent practice in the
muscular or business movement, each
and every common school pupil can
become an easy, elegant writer. Supt.
Murphy seconded the method pre-
sented and urged upon teachers the
necessity of giving this, the most i'm
portant and practical of all subjects,
a due amount of attention.
On motion the meeting adjourned to
lis p. m.
The afternoon session opened with
the song. bringing In The Sheaves, "
sung by portion of the Association.
The topic, Arithmetic in All Forms,
was presented by Thomas Fisher. He
entered into thorough and careful
analysis of the outline given in the
Course of Study, explaining at each
step his method of teaching the differ
ent topics prescribed in the outline.
He would lay special stress on accu-
racy in the solution of problems, and
drill work in Mental Arithmetic each
day. By means of a brief algebraic
formula he illustrated concise and
easy manner of solving problems in
Square and Cube Root, thereby doing
away with the necessity of commit
ting those lengthy and burdensome
rules.
The topic, photography, was opened
by E. X. Barnard in introducing a
resolution as follows: Resolved, That
in the opinion of this Association the
Spelling Reform should go into effect
in the schools" Resolution lost by a
vote of four to two. Mr.. Barnard then
read paper in which the advantages
of the Spelling Reform were well set
forth.
The topic, Geography, was pre-
scented by Supt. Murphy. By means
of class exercise he illustrated the
urgent relation of history and geogra-
ply, and the necessity of a good gen.
eral historical knowledge as a requi-
site in the teacher to the systematic
and intelligent teaching of geography.
His thought was to make this subject
as real and practical as possible, by
grounding the child well in position
direction and distance, and of object
i've teaching in the early stages of
instruction.
Objects of Teachers Reading Circle
briefly discussed by the Superintend'
ent.
Critics report read.
A resolution was offered thanking
Miss Arnold and her parents for theiI
hospitality in entertaining the teach
ers. Resolution unanimously adopted
