which the process Of examination, analy-
sis, inspection, comparison, discrimina-
ton and classification should be COM
meneed and carried on to limited ex-
tent; and that attention should never be
permitted to suffer. The discussion con-
sisted of a few questions and answers.
In connection with Science and Art" of
arithmetic a lively discussion ensued as
TO the difference between science and art
They finally settled down to the belief
that science referred TO the knowledge,
and art to the application of it. Mr..
Hartranft presented mental arithmetic in
able manner by explaining his method of
teaching it, using the members of the as
ISOLATION as a class. He clearly showed
the real value of knowing addition, of the
use of analyses, of mental drills and that
the members of the association were de-
cidedly lame on mental arithmetic. Con-
siderable discussion ensued, which was
devoted mostiy to processes of rapid COM
putati5ns. In order to cover the ground
allotted to him, Mr.. Irvine made an al
most exhaustive treatise of Geography.
He advocated the use of outlines in the
study of geography and laid considerable
stress upon thoroughness. A class exer-
else exhibited his plan of conducting a
recitation. In the recitation he gave con-
siderable attention to the imparting of in
formation through questioning. A dis
a.. L. Il.
teachers part of the recitation -hould
be actually telling things to the pupil.
Some maintained that the whole recita-
ton should be devoted to drawing out
what the pupil had previously prepared,
while that was opposed by a few who
held that much of the recitation must of
necessity be devoted to arbitrary decis-
ions by the teacher, especially in advanc-
ed grades. The presentation of history
was rather novel. 1t was presented from
the standpoint of failure instead of sue
cess. This threw it into the hands
of the association to provide ways for
the successful teaching of it. Various
means were suggested, among which. out
lines by the brace system and compulso-
ry preparation were prominent The as
ISOLATION closed with an interesting ques-
ton box.
1t is the verdict of everyone who at
tended that association and took an act
i've part, that it broadened their views,
helped them to see their way clearer and
that they will so back to their Svork much
better prepared than ever before. What
rebuke this is to those who remained

The Annual Holiday Association at Ellis
wO tn.


Saturday morning being very stormy,
the attendance was only fair. The gen.
eral discussion on the mutual relation be-
tween the school board and the teacher
brought out the following: LIST that the
board is the power behind the throne,
I'd that the district should reach the
teacher through the board and rice versa;
Sd that al needful rules for the govern
ment OF the school should be made by
the board, TO be executed by the teacher;
4th that the teacher should never come
between the board and the district The
rest of the discussion was mainly devoted
to minor questions pertaining to the pow
ers of district boards. The main points
urged in the presentation of Mental Phi
losophy were, that skillful teaching de-
mands a knowledge of the laws Of men,
tai growth; that perceptive development
naturally starts with object lessons in

The Minnesota State Teachers Associa-
ton has passed, and it is only truth to
say it was disappointing, and unsatisfac-
tory. The papers, with the exception of
the one upon the Becitation, by Supt
Rowland of Chicago, and the one by
Supt. S. S. Taylor of St. Paul, upon Gram
mar, were of no value or interest to the
average teacher. The paper upon Music,
by Mr.. +. Holt, of Boston, was warlike
affair, devoted to annihilating the meth
DDS of other teachers of music In Bos-
ton, it would almost have provoked a
lynching bee, with him as the leading
actor. At no time did the audience reach
more than about one hundred fifty. Of
ten, it was less. The slim attendance
was shameful. The teachers present
looked tired, haggard and bored, for the
last of which we do not blame them.
The book agents, even, were languid,
having little game to hunt Sleepy Hol-
low was sad reality, during the two
days. Supt. Taylor's paper on Grammar
was sound, helpful, careful, and correct.
He showed how much of technical gram
mar and of language work should enter
into a course of study. The teachers APP
plauded his defense of technical gram
mar, as they should. Last year, language
work was the hobby, and grammar the
scapegoat. This shows how teachers, like
sheep, run after leader, who kindly
does any thinking for them. Next year,
probably language work will be the popu-
lar idea, and the lack of independence
then shown, will make true, intelligent,
firm men and women weep.
But there were some good features.
The state superintendent did not figure
as the director of thought. Only one nor
NAL school more afflicted the listeners
with the old story, and the venerable
metaphysical errors defended in such pa
pers. There was less mutual admiration
business done than is usual But, to
show how the subject of temperance in
struction is an elephant upon the hands
of seekers of positions, and to show the
utter lack of independence in the ranks,
note that the subject was not mentioned,
when, with the new law, a large amount
of time should have been given to it,
Shame Oh such tlme-serving, such bend
ing of the knee at the beck of the rum

No live teacher will allow winter to
pass without doing some work for his
growth. What work each should do will
depend upon what he needs. He who is
backward in language should make that
study; so, also. with all the common
branches. All teachers should read more
or less, each week, in book or books on
teaching. The manner of reading these
books is very important. ii is not wise to
simply read a book through consecutively
and then lay it aside. Better to read it
topically. If some light on class recita-
ton is required, look up that subject and
test what is taught by putting it in prac-
tice. If your plan of teaching geography
is not satisfactory, look the subject up in
your books on teaching and pat in practice
what you find suitable. In this way
books will be read with interest and
profit County School Council.
