City Teachers Association.

a pleasant and profitable feature of
our school work is the city teachers
association which holds its sessions the
last Friday of each school month. This
body met February Sd, in Mr.. Reece's
room, Professor Reece presiding. An
interesting paper, "How to teach arith-
metical signs" was read by Miss Nora
Frye. She recomm ends early drill in
the use of these signs, indeed while the
pupils are yet in the primary depart
ment; that it is just as easy to teach
these symbols as to teach the idea of
numbers. She claims that many pu-
pills in the high grades, and even teach
ers do not correctly understand the use
of these characters called signs. Miss
Smith gave an excellent talk on the
Concentration of Energies She asks
the question, EShan we cut down the
school curriculum, OF shall we enlarge
it?" Shall the teachers spread their
energies over large field of work or
shall a comparatively few subjects be
we'll taught? {? She claims that the
true work of the teacher is
not teaching but training.
Miss Smith urgently suggested phys
icial training in connection with in
tellectual development. She believes
in Industrial schools for girls well
as for boys. Taking the high ground
that manual training together with
healthy mental occupation is effectual
III checking the extravagant pressure
of the public school system, and that
complex emotion called worry; and
brings into exercise the calmer facul-
ties, as judgement, reason, ETC."
Quite a number of useful subjects
were discussed by the teachers; such
as the Tariff Reform, the Postal
Telegraph - "Shall we annex No Man S
Land to Kansas?'' The Blair Educa-
tional Bill.''
OF course the teachers do not feel
they are able to settle all these ques-
tions satisfactorily, but this shows
what the teachers are reading about
and thinking about, and it shows the
time is near when the teachers in
fiuence will have some weight in politi-
cal as well as educational questions.
Our visitor at this meeting was Citizen
Baldwin. We hope to see our school
board and many patrons at our next
meeting. Respectfully,

WE NOTICE through our exchanges
that conventions of real estate dealers
have been held within the last few
weeks in different parts of the state,
the object being to decide upon some
unity of action in conducting and
handling excursions to Kansas the
coming spring and summer. There is
not doubt but there will be thousands
of people coming to every part of Kan
sas, and one can readily see the ad-
vantage of raal estate men of particu-
lar localities uniting to work for Their
especial towns. Would it not be &
good plan for the real estate men OF
Great Bend, Larned. Sterling, Rush
Center, Ness City, and perhaps other
towns which could work together with
advantage, to meet and see if some
action of mutual advantage could moi
be taken?
