Thurston Co. Teachers Association

We feel anxious to call attention tc
the program that has been published
announcing 4 meeting to be held in
the Central school building, June lst
In the morning, Miss Moore will give
drill in the Pollard Synthetic -ys
ten, reyieYipg class OF primary child.
rem. MAk4 bore has been testing the
new system46r several months and we
feel sure that parents, at least, will be
anxious to see the results. 1t will be
remembered by some in our city, that
Mra. Pollard, the originator OF the Syn
thetic Method, gave q course Of lessons
IN her system TO she teachora OF O!Yn-
pia. II was my privilege to DO mem
Der OF the class and | became very IA
vorably impressed with the method as
explained and wrought out by Mrs.
Pollard, and anxious to see it tested in
our public school. The City -uperin
tendent, NJ. Brintnall, and his wife
shared i'll the enthusiasm, and through
their influence, with Our faithful and
efficient Board o. Directors a trial has
been given in our primary depart
ments under the earnest and success
iui supervision Of Misses Swan and
Moore. These teachers give strong
testimony in favor OF the system and
show excellent results in proof OF its
superiority over the old methods OF
teaching primary reading. have Wis
tied acoma schools, where the system
has been successfully tested, and found
Superintendent Gait and his teachers
very enthusiastic in its praise. 1t has
been shown, rs they claim, that chill
dren become independent students,
ami read with distinct articulation and
natural fluency, after thorough course
in this sys.em. After observing re-
suits in our own schools and in Taco
ma, and hearing favorable reports from
Portland teachers, l feel safe in saving
that we find true all that Mrs. Pollard
claims for her system. 1t is truly n
thetic. Mrs. Pollard says she makes
reading Of the first Importance AS in
music, let there be scales to practice
drills in articulation; thorough
preparation for reading before
the simplest sentence is attempted.
Rules governing the correct pro-
nunciation OF words are learned by
singing songs prepared expressly for
this purpose and found in Pollard's
Synthetic Song Book. Singing is
made a pleasant recreation from the
first day the child begins school, and
the Youngest pupil will learn uncon
sciously what it would otherwise be
impossible for him to remember.
The Orcgonion has given promin-
ence to the Pollard System, and now
that an opportunity will be given to
parents and all interested to Judge for
themselves, we hope to see a crowded
house at the opening session, commen-
cling 10 80 A. NJ, June 1st.
The Institute will continue during
the day with an Interesting program.
All are cordially invited to attend.

How to dispose of the school lands
belonging to the State, is question
being discussed by the press. 1t is u
matter deserving the best wisdom oi
the Convention. They should not be
gobbled by spectators, nor is it advis-
able to hold them without deriving q
revenue from them. Leasing them
has been suggested, but to turn land.
lord is rather outside the province of q
government. The methods adopted
by sister States should be carefully
studied, and the one that has been
most successful should be used as {
guide by our constitution-maLers.

The Great Master.

II am my own master, cried a young man. proudly, when q friend tried to persuade him from an enter prise which he had on hand; Il am my own master -
 Did you ever consider what re- sponsible post that is:' asked a friend.
 "Re,pon9ibjIity--ls It:'
 A master must lay out the work he wants done, and see that it is done right. He should try to secure the best ends by the best means. He must keep on the lookout against obstacles and accidents and watch that everything goes straight. Else he will fail"
 Well"
 "To be master of yourself you have your conscience to keep clear, your heart to cultivate. your temper to govern, your will to direct, and your judgement to instruct You are master over hard lot, and if you don't master them they will master you"
 That is so" said the young man.
 Now, I could undertake no such thing" said his friend: II should fail sure if l did. Saul wanted to be his own master and failed. Herod did. Judas did. No man is fit for it. One is my Master, even Christ 1 work under Gods direction. When he is Master, all goes right, "--Dr, Bacon.

 The largest deposit of anthracite coal in the world is in nPennsyluania, the mines of which supply the market with millions of tons annually.
 The largest lake in the world IS Lake Superior, which is truly an inland sea, being four hundrei and thirty miles long, aad very deep.
 The largest valley in the world Is the Valley of the Mississippi It contains five hundred thousand square miles, and is one of the most fertile regions of the globe.
 The greatest cave in the world si the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, where one can make voyage in the waters of a subterranean river, and catch fish without eyes.

What Dynamite Is.

Dynamite is the most deadly weapon If modern criminals against society. IIt k 4 combination of nitro-gIycerlne with q plastic kind of glay. in ap- rearaoce t somewhat resembles putty. and is made up into cartridges each weighing about two ounces The manufacture of dynamite IS at tended with some risk, but when once made. if the ingredients are unrc. it is comparatively harmless as long as it is kept apart from 'he Im1tprjals which are used to eXp!ode It. lis commonly supposed that the trausportation of dynamite is very donoerous. but it is far less so than gunpowder. A wooden packlng-case filled with the explosive has been set on fire. the only result being burst of dynamite flame.
 Boxes filled with dynamite nave been thrown from great heights, and cans loaded with dynamite have been smashed in railroad collisions with out an explosion.
 Commonly the destructive proper ties of dynamite are brought into play only by means of detonatlng cartridge. In blasting rocks with dynamite, the dynamite cartridges are first pressed into hole, and over them is inserted another kind of a cartridge, called the primer
 This cartridge contains "detona- tor" which is copper cap, an inch long. holding small charge of illuminate powder. To this primer is attached q fuse, and when the fuse burns down to the illuminate Tn tue detonator, it explodcs; and this, in turn fires the dynamite, and shatters the rock. If the detonator Is set with more than three-fonrths of its length in the dynamite, the fuse may set fire to the latter and burn Il away harmessly before the fulminite is reached and exploded. This ac- counts for many unsuccessful at tempts to blow buildings.

WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST

A thin, tall man got up early the other morning. at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and coming down stairs, ord- cred two glasses of water at the liquid refreshment counter, says the New York Mail. The trained bar tender smiled. but handed out the large glasses of pure cold water. The man smacked his lips. and said it was a healthy drink before break fast, and one that he recommended. He said:
 If I had not drank cold water before breakfast, l might have been in my grave long ago. l am phy- sician, or, rather was once before 1 retired, and have made a study of
 liquids. Water, drank freely before meals has very beneficial results, for it washes away the mucbus sec reted during the interval of repOse. "
 The membrane thus cleansed is in a much better condition to receive food and convert it into soluble con- pounds. In the morning the accum- ulation of mucous is specially marked, when the gastric walls are covered with a thick tenacious layer. Now food entering the stomach at this time will become covered with this tenacious coating, which, for time, protects it from the action of gastric ferments, and so retards digestion. Your man with tubular contracted stomach, with it's puckered mucous lining and vicid contents, a normal condition in the morning before breakfast, Is not suitable to receive food. A glass of water washes out the stomach, gives tone, and pre- pares the alimentary canal for the morning meal.

The Gulf Stream.

There is river in the ocean. In the severest droughs it never fails, and in the mightiest flood never over flows. Its banks and the bottom are of cold water, while its current is of warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and it's mouth is in the Arctic Seas. It is the Gulf Stream
 There is in the world no other flow of water so majestic. It's current is more swift than the Mississippi or Amazon, and its volume more than a thousand times greater. Its waters as far as the Carolina coasts, are oi indigo blue. They are so distinctly marked that the common sea water can be traced with the eye. Often one-half the vessel may be perceived floating in the Gulf Stream water, while the other half is in the common water of the sea, so sharp is the line and the want of affinity between these waters; and such, too. tine re- lactance, 50 10 speak on tue psrj of those of the Gnlr Stream to mingle with the common waters of the sea. In addition 10 this, there is another peculiar fact. The fishermen on tho coast of Norway are supplied with wood from the tropics by the Gulf Stream. Think of the Arctic fisher men burning upon their hearths the palms of Hayti, the mahogany of Honduras, and the precious woods of the Amazon and the OrInoco.

Rotation.


 Rotation very properly differ in different countries, or iii unlike re- oions of the same country, and use ful hints are often derived from com paring those which vary. On look Ing over the recent report of the Bureau of Industries of the Province of Ontario. we find the returns given from over hundred farmers in diff lcrent parts of the province, of the kinds of rotation which they have adopted for practice. A large num- Der of systems are given, the courses ranging from six to eight years, and as the secretary of the board remarks, the combinations are koleikospic in their variety. He observes that "the averaging of the rotations, if such q thing were patiently worked out, would probably show that two or three years of hay and pasture were alternate with four or five of grain and roots. but it is doubtfm whether this composite system of rotation would be practically on the average l Ontario farm. Peas is favorite i cgoe to SOW on sod. and there ap- pears t3 he greater tendency than 1 formally to run to pasture. Snnmer following k not gaining i'll favor, '
 Tine following are | few of the many reports selected from those made by farmers:
 l. Clover on wheat, cut once, then pasture; corn; then peas or oats with manure on oat stubble.
 ,. Flow sod, SOW peas, blow, sow fall wheat, blow next fall, plant corn in spring blow in fall and SOW oats or barley in following spring; seed down with clover or timothy.
 > Summer fallow to fall wheat and stock down to grass; nov tive years and pasture or plow up, and sow to oats or peas; then SOW barley or spring wheat, and stock down to grass.
 l. First year wheat after fallow, and peas, and barley; two years or meadow and pasture; fourth year spring crops, and next year fallow and root crops. But q regular sys- ten can not always be carried out on account of winter killing and drought.
 ]. Hay pasture, peas, oats or fal- low; wheat or barley; roots or fal- low; barley. As grass seeds often fail, cannot always follow this course. Land s kept in good heart.
