Report Of Teachers Association held at MGrteH,
MIS-. Jan. s0th. 1886.
In the absence of President Friedel,
Mr.. A. L. Thompson took the chair.
Nettie X. Harshman was appointed
Secretary pro TEN.
The exercises were opened with
singing by Miss Martha IversOn and
her pupils. This was followed by
historical quotations.
The Association then took the form
of an experience meeting, in which
each teacher related his experience
this term of school, telling of obsta-
Giles that were encountered and the
remedies applied. By comparing
notes as to methods and plans of pro-
cedure in school management, great
practical benefit resulted from this
exercise.
Meeting adjourned to 1870 p. m.
After partaking of a basket picnic
dinner the meeting was called to order
by the President.
Miss Henrietta Iverson discussed
the topic, Primary Reading. She
would use the Word Method from
the beginning, and would cultivate
the expression OF the thought of the
piece at an early stage by means of
oral exercise and slate composition.
She would discard printing after the
recognition of the simple word is mas
tered and take up script.
Mr.. Stilwell not being able to attend
sent his paper on General Exercises,
which was read to the Association by
J. A. Murphy. 1t contained many
commendable points.
School Management was discussed by
@. III. Crownhart who gave to the AS
ISOLATION the result of his experience,
study and observation in a very peril
nent and expressive manner. His
plan is to make the child the agent in
making up the tone of the school by
the proper cultivation of his sense of
honor and his common sense, the
teacher, however reserving the right
to suggest as we'll as to command. A
discussion followed as to how far the
teachers authority extended over the
child when in school and in going to
and from school.
Map Drawing was briefly discussed
by Miss Martha Iverson. The map
should be resorted to in every stage of
the work and nothing of Importance
should be left out of it at the time of
construction.
BY a class exercise A. l.. Thompson
exhibited his method of teaching
Penmanship in manner that made
all feel that he was discussing practice
and not theory.
Supt. Murphy offered the following
resolution, which was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the thanks of the
Association are due the Misses Iver-
son for their hospitality in entertain
ing the members.
The meeting was we'll attended and
was characterized by spirit and earn
estness.

MAIDEN Rock, Jan. 23d, Z

MAIDEN Rock, Jan. 23d, SO.
Mr.. EDIToR:-If you have a little
space in your valuable paper to devote
to the following you will do a favor
that will be duly appreciated.
Congressman w. L. Price has been
greatly criticised by newspapers all
over the United States on account of
his voting against the bill to pension
Mrs. Grant. They say that he has
disgraced Congress and his District:
and also that this action will have the
effect to sink him into oblivion at the
close of his present term. Now it is
proper for the constituents of Mr..
Price to let the country know that
they do not consider themselves dis
graced by this act but that they do
consider their Representative an hon
or to them, and also that instead of
sinking him into oblivion it will win
votes for him, should he again appear
as a candidate for official hOnors.
We believe that Mr.. Price did just
right and that he acted in accordance
with those principles upon which the
government of our country is founded.
IL this question of pensioning Presi-
dents widows, together with other
high-styIed individuals, were put to
popular vote there is no doubt that it
would be defeated; especially if men
would stop to think before they vote.
According to the Constitution of the
United States a Congressman has no
right TO vote pensions in such cases as
the above, and all that did went be-
yond the boundary of their powers.
The general understanding of the
people SD That this is not an arts
tOcracy; ~ That we have no class dis
tinctions; and (3) That in the eyes of
the law all men are equal. No think
ing man can fail to see that these are
already erroneous conclusions and that
they are coming to be more and more
so every year. Congress is creating
an aristOcracy in pensioning certain
classes SO that they may be above
work of any kind. Congress is crea-
| ting class distinction in granting GER
tain widows $4,000 a year, and others,
that need and deserve it far more from
| $50 to Sl00 year. And following
out the same, the people of the United
states are considered no longer equal
in the eyes of the law when only one
man is noble enough to vote against
such an outrage as pensiOning Mrs.
/ Grant So, 600. think that Mr.. Grant
has served his country well, but | do
not think that the u. 5. owes him or
his family anything, as many seem to
incline. He was educated at the pub
lie expense, paid well for his services
during the war, and receiving double
that of any President preceding him
while filling that office. No man can
say truthfully that this country is in
debt to him, and Mrs. Grant acknOwl-
edges herself pauper of the high
class in accepting the pension.
But We glory in Mr.. Price, and hope
he may have many occasions to stand
up for the right. i. F. GILMAN.

4 NtoIen Sewing Machine.

Every Friday afternoon the members
OF st. Andrews Church Sewing Associa-
ton meet in the schOOl-rOom adjoining
the Cathedral for work. On Friday,
October 29th, the regular meeting took
place, and on that day the Sisters of
st. Andrews Priory who attend, took
with them an automatic hand-sewing
machine of great value. After the meet
ing was over they LETT the machine in
the schOol-room, not thinking at the
time that anyone would modest it. On
the Sunday following, during Sunday
school, the machine was still in the
room, and one of the Sisters intended to
carry it back to the Priory after school
was out However, she neglected to do
so, and the consequence was that on
going for it on Monday morning it was
missing The school-room door was not
locked, and anyone could get in.
Eldress Phoebe notified the police, but
up to the present time they have failed
to obtain any trace Of the machine
whatever. As stated before, it is a very
valuable machine, and cannot be re-
placed. There is private mark on it,
which is only known by the Marshal
and the Sisters. A liberal reward will
be offered for the recovery OF the ma
chine
