Owing to the stormy appearance of
the weather but two of those on the
program were present. For the same
reason the number of teachers present
was also limited. In consequence of
the foregoing the meeting was called
to order, and, on motion, immediately
adjourned till | O'Clock p. IN.
The afternoon session opened by
singing "Beulah Land" Mrs. b. Olt-
man presiding at the organ. Quota
tions from Herbert Spencer. The
first topic of regular work was 'School
Amusements and General Exercises"
by Z. j. McAndrew, who was appoint
ed by Supt. Murphy to fill the place of
w. Z. Barker, the latter gentleman
not being in attendance. Mr.. Mean
drew would advocate singing, literary
work, work in botany, &C., as appr0-
pirate general exercises. The first
named exercise tends to elevate the
character. The two latter inculcate
respectively love for good literature
and desire to know more of the
works of nature.
In the discussion which followed
the presentation of this topic Mr.. c.
ment of the Wisconsin Journal of Ed
ucation edited by Prof. King of River
Falls and entitled "Our Observers.
Here is work which may be taken up
by the teachers and made very inter-
esting as well as profitable in the way
of general exercises. Several others
also took part in the discussion bring
ing out many thoughts and methods.
The next topic was Orthography by
@. j. Brewer. The subject of rules
for spelling was Interestingly discuss
ed both pro and con by the members,
after which was taken a vote as to
whether or not it is advisable to spend
time teaching rules. The vote stood
for rules Is, against rules ii.
"Letter-writing and Business
Forms" was presented by B. Gilman.
He thinks a great deal of time is spent
on more impractical subjects that
might better be devoted to these sub
jects. AS letter writing has been SO
thoroughly discussed in the associa-
tions during the past year, he confn-
ed most of his remarks to Business
Forms. He considers promissory note
the most practical. Hence he would
devote a great deal of time to its con-
sideration. Would also consider re-
ceipts, bills of sale, &C., teaching the
meaning of all the technical terms u.s.
ed with them. @. j. BREWER, SEC.

Solution sgd. 70, the Mau Pole Problem

Since the top struck the ground 20
#. from the base, it forms right
angled triangle of which 20 fit. is its
base and the length of the pole, 60
fit. forms both the perpendicular and
the hypotenuse. 1t is evident that
the pole was broken at such place
that the difference of the squares des.
cribed ON the hypotenuse and perpen-
dicular equals the square described on
the base. Let it be granted that the
hypotenuse is greater than the perpen'
dicular.
We will first divide the length OF
the pole into two equal parts of 80 TT.
Let lis subtract fit. from Che perpen-
dicular and add it to the hypotenuse
and square the results. Thus
