from, are the following: Mrs. Hahn, of
the Medicine Lodge schools, Miss Elva
Blick, Of the Lake City school, and Prof.
Bell and Miss Mary Midgley of the Kio-
wa schools. We think that any district
can we'll afford to give the teacher the
time to attend such meetings. A teach
or who Is interested sufficiently to be
willing 10 stand the pecuniary ex-
pense Of the trip will be sure to bring
home for the benefit of his or her pu-
pills more than the worth Of z or 8 days
wages. In saying this we do not mean
to cast any reflection upon those teach
ers who will not attend this year. We
know there are many worthy teachers
IN the county who would like very
much to attend this meeting, but owing
to the expense and other inconveRiences
of the trip, can not do 80.

NOT ALWAYS ONE WAY.

To be content with one way of doing
a thing because it is the best yet found
in ones personal experience, is q dan
ger that beSets the best teachers. At
ter long series of efforts to find a way
to conquer obstacles, the sense of exul-
tatiOn at the success is sure to be fol-
lowed by constant repetition Of the
new way, till 1t soon loses all charm of
freshness. The discovery that one way
Of teaching spelling Or arithmetic is a
marked improvement on other ways
that have been tried, lis nearly certain to
result in constant repetition of the
new method, to the death of all interest
to the class. An inquiry of a success
full teacher as to his means of keeping
the interest in his classes, brought this
reply: las soon as l think / have
found the best way Of doing thing, |
always change and take some other
way" That is an extravagant way of
putting truth, but the truth is there
and in no stinted quantity. The monot-
ony in the methods of our school work
must be sore trial to our little folks
who never do one thing long at time
if they can have their way. To be sure,
they go back to the same things over
and over again with untiring interest,
but there is always something thrown
in flor changel between. Psychology
does not do much for teachers il it does
not send them to watch children, and
to interpret the lessons hidden away in
their own natural way of doing things.

USE THE APPARATUS.

Last week we wrote something of the
necessity Of supplying the schools with
blackboards. maps and other apparatus
to enable the teacher and pupils to &C.
complish the best results. Now, we
wish to call the attention of teachers to
the fact that these appliances, however
perfect and plentiful they may be, will
do little or no good unless they are free
ly used. regret to say that in some
few schools which I have visited in
this county, the teacher did not seem to
realize the great benefit to be derived
from judIcious use of the schoolappar-
atus. OF course there is in this rea-
sonable limit, varying with circum-
stances and conditions, beyond which
the sensible teacher will not 90, and
there is sometimes good reason why
some of the apparatus is used but lit
tie; but it certainly shows the teacher
up in a bad light if there are in the
school room maps or physiological
charts which he or she habitually and
regularly negIects TO use or even to
take the pains to inform themselves OF
their contents or character. The young
est pupils in school should each have
slate and pencil and free use should be
made of them in writing or printing
reading or spelling lessons, in copying
figures, and in drawing geometrical
forms, etc. The globe should be used
to give the young learner correct ideas
concerning the shape of the earth, rela-
tive position of different points on its
surface. the causes of day and night,
the changes of the seasons, the zones,
poles, meridians. parallels, etc. In the
study of geography, the wall maps
should be used almost daily and they
are almost as useful in the history class
as the best means Of fixing in the mind
the events mentioned in the text book,
by locating the place where each event
occurred, for it is we'll known that the
eye is more effective medium than
the ear through which to impress the
mind.
Physiology is study 80 useful and
practical in its nature that it should
by no means be neglected in the dis
trict school. For the benefit of those
who have no book on this subject an
oral drill may be given two or three
times per week in which hygiene should
receive it's due share of attention. The
manikin and charts, when present, will
be found of great value in illustrating
many Of the wonderful things concern
ing the structure of the human body.
But if none of these means of illustra-
tion are handy, the energetic, ingenious
teacher will find other means to take
their place 1T least in some degree.
Cubical blocks and other arithmetical
and geometrical forms should be used
in connection with their proper SUBJ
jects and in this way endeavor to incul-
cate correct ideas to the exclusion OF
erroneous ones which may require more
time and effort to eradicate than it
would to have implanted the correct
idea by the use Of proper means. In
conclusion we say to teachers, don't
fail to use judiciousIy what apparatus
you have.

There is nothing that comes so close
to student as the personal effort of
the teacher. I remember number of
years ago when we employed a very ex-
cellent teacher of penmanship, ana we
had young man with us who was not
much of penman, but he got close to
the student, and some weeks after the
employment of the young man 1 heard
couple of boys talking-bright, intel
ligent boys-and they said, naming the
teacher: He is the best teacher of the
whole business. Why, he came and sat
down by me and showed me where /
was making q mistake, and I just
learned more Of him than did Of the
old man." They had reference to the
man at the top, the man who could exc
cute wonderful. with great skill. After
all l look back upon my old teacher,
and the teacher who came and sat down
by me, as the one whose helpfulness
have carried with me all the way
through. There is nothing like that

Darlington Phelps was the aristocrat-
ic chairman, and he did this in spite
of Senator Hompe's earnest and pas
sionate appeal in which he mentioned
the sharmony of the graveyard" and
the various "stings." But Mr.. Dom
nelly did more than ignore the Phelps
committee. He named the new state
committee. For the sake of harmony
he put on some of his enemies
and then added CDR" Fish. OF
course the result was what Donnelly
expected. They could not stand it
and Senator Hompe announced that
he could not serve. Whether others
will follow his example remains to be
seen. The selecting of this committee
was the organization of the Peoples
party. One has but to read the or
gans of the two factions of the alliance
to see what each crowd thinks of the
other. The opinions are not flattering,

Winona Republican: On its broao
field the American flag now bears il
proud grandeur forty-four stars.
1t is related that when Secretary
Blaine arose to address a monster pc
itical meeting in an Indiana town il
1884, he was compelled to wait fol
several moments on account of ire
mendously long and unusually noisy
freight train which happened then tc
pull by. Lifting his hand as sigma.
to the audience that the train hao
passed by, he impressively said: Eel
low citizens-The Republican party
can we'll afford to be interrupted by
the country's prosperity" The
thought was as happy as it was per
tinent to the occasion. The marvel
GUS celebrity with which wilderness
have lately been transformed into fer
tile territories and admitted as states
has kept purchasers of the nationa
emblem on the qui vive, but they Cal
we'll afford it.
In the sixteen months which ended
on the 18th of this month the Ameri
can flag has been changed three times
each time by an addition of a star
and on that date it was changed
again. Up to 1918 the addition of {
new state meant a new stripe also
Vermont and Kentucky thus length
ened out ''Old Glory's" folds. But il
was soon manifest to Congress that
in a growing country like ours the adj
dition of so many stripes would look
worse than convict's suit. Hence in
1918 the two extra stripes were knocked
off and stars only tolerated. The fl,
nal star for some time at least has
now taken it's place in the azure field
making the number plump forty
four. Until Utah converts the Nor
mons, until Oklahoma grows, New
Mexico has more intelligence and few,
er greasers, and Arizona achieves q
larger population and more "'fuence,'
there will be no more additions to the

When the Earth Was Young

Says Dr.. Ball. astronomer royal for
Ireland, it went around SO fast that
the day was only three hours long.
The earth WAS liquid then, and it
spun around and around at that fear
full speed, and as the sun causes ever
increasing tidesupon its surface, it ut
last burst in two. The smaller part
becoming the moon, which has been
going around the earth ever since at
al increasing distance. The demand
for speed is one which 10 invention of
man seems to satisfy. Ocean steam
ers now cross the Atlantic in week,
bat the public clamors for Il shorter
voyage, and some Of the companies
are holding out Il hope of three days.
Perhaps the speed indicated above,
when our world Whirled around at the
rate of 5000 miles an hour, would
satisfy the people who travel, but as
the world is getting on i'll years now,
and is little slow, they will have to
be contented with such gait us the
railroads can strike. When they want
speed combined with smooth running
and safety, those WHO are posted select
