Teachers, Association

The Allen County Teachers Assc-
citation met at lola, Feb. Z, '91, with
about forty teachers in attendance.
After Pres. Estey had appointed the
critic and usual press committee MIR.
1.-THE Proper Use of Outlines Mr..
Carter said: "The teacher who stays
in the school-room six hours day
because the law requires it will find
his pupils growing dull. The mind
of q pupil who studies from we'll
prepared outline will be broadened,
because he studies the subject and not
the author. No one author can give
everything in text book. Use diff
ferent authors. The teacher, Mr..
"Labor-savern writes outlines upon
the board. Pupil copies the outline
upon his slate and brings slate to
class. Knows only what is in outline
and that not very well. Recites from
slate. Teacher passes pupil out of
study if he is able to reproduce out
line with book open. Wonderful
amount of information! Child's fac
ulties impaired, perhaps for life. The
succeeding teacher finds the pupils in
q bad condition. Another teacher,
miss Luminous" uses the Skeleton
outline" |. e. the answers to the parts
of the outline are omitted. She puts
outlines upon the board only until
pupils are able to make their own.
Pupils knowledge becomes positive
and definite. The pupils are perhaps
required to learn the topics of the first
rank, or definite parts of the outline
h.
views both oral and written. 1t is
possible to combine the best methods
of instruction by means of good ont
line. Pupils may thus be taught a
systematic arrangement of ideas and
never have an occasion to say, II had
an idea but it is waited away by the
first breeze" Mr.. Barber and Mr..
Remsberg discussed the paper and
made many valuable suggestions.
Miss Crosby, of lola, presented a
paper on "Inspiration the Life of the
School" She said: Inspiration il
the underlying motive that prompts
action. Show work is all right in its
place. Teachers must remember they
are working for immortal souls. In
SEPARATION arises principally though
not wholly from the teacher. The
teacher must know how to make dull
subjects interesting and dull pupils
interested. Pupils must possess a
real desire to know. Most pupils
know more than we give them credi.
for. A great deal depends upon sur
roundings." The paper called out d
lively discussion participated in by
Mr.. Curt, Mr.. Carter, Mr.. Barber, Mr.
Estey and others.
Mr.. Barber told US a plan for a
State reading circle that had been ar
ranged by the different county super
intendents. We are to have a county
reading circle in connection with the
association,

came up, with its general reduction
all along the line even to nearly
wiping out some of the county offices.
Nearly every member wanted his
county exempted from the operation
of the bill. The Alliance men seem to
be willing to cut down fees and sal
aries in speeches and platforms to
make votes, but when it comes to re-
duce the pay of the men they have
elected to office it is quite another
thing. Things quieted down when
one of the Alliance brethren moved to
recommit to the committee that had
drawn it with instructions to report
Monday night, the 23rd. This is not
the revision committees bill, but one
drawn by the house committee.
Elders bill to reduce the railroad
fare to p cts, elect railroad commits
sioners and to abolish the pass bust
ness came up on Monday. An effort
was made to separate the questions in
it so that they could be voted OH sep,
arately. But the great majority Of
the Alliance would not allow any
division and thus compelling one &c
vote for the whole or against the bill
We should have been glad to have
voted for the section providing for the
election of railroad commissioners but
to do so we must vote for the reduc'
ton of railroad fares to 2! cents, and
after thorough investigation we did
not believe it best to do such thing
at this time. If we are going to make
any reduction it would be better to
make it on freight rates. AS far as
prohibiting the giving of passes is
concerned we don't care whether it is
doneor not. Ifa railroad wants to give
away anything that is their business.
The school book law passed the
house Tuesday afternoon. 1t is not
what one could wish perhaps, but is
as near in the right direction as we
can get.

Concerning the Roads.
EDITOR REGISTER:

EDITOR hEGlSTER:
fully agree with your remarks as
to the feasibility and economy of mac
adamizing all our principal highways
and believe that the present rate OF
road tax would do it within ten years
But before that could be accomplished
there would have to be radica
change in the present system of road
working.
1t is not an unusual thing to see
thirty, forty and even fifty feet of the
roadway ploughed up and left a great
broad quag-mire through which the
track meanders back and forth in
search presumably of the solidest
spots. This is all wrong. Outside of
the villages there is 10 kind of need
that the road-bed should be worked
more than twenty feet from outside to
outside of bitches, and except in a
very few spots this should be in a
straight line through the center of the
road way. Stakes should be set mark
ing the center of the road and others
marking the outside of the bitches,
then between these the road-bed
should be graded to an even round
from ditch to ditch like this -.
On high ground this should be done
by scraping the dirt from the bitches
and sides of the track and depositing
it off to the sides or in low places fol-
in these latter of course the bed will
have to be graded up. Then before
the work is finished the bitches should
be left clean and smooth and the road
rolled leaving no obstruction to the
escape Of water from it. The labor re-
quired to put the roads in this shape
will not be near as great as that
wasted on the present system, and
except where the travel is unusually
heavy macadamizing would be very
nearly unnecessary save in the low
wet spots. 5.

THE LEGISLATURE.
MIR. PEARsoN's LETTER.


The hall of the house of representa-
tives looks somber with its draping Of
Grape to honor the memory of General
Sherman and Admiral Porter.
Mr.. Powderly spoke in the hall fol
about two and quarter hours last
week. 1t was the usual Union Labor
and knights of Labor speech. He de-
clared the knights of Labor and the
Alliance would stand together until
every wrong was swept from the
earth.
There was no end of fun over that
woman suffrage bill, and a good deal
of gush and nonsense in the considera-
ton of it. Nine-tenths of the mem
bers were in favor of it if it could be
accomplished lawfully. With the eX-
ception of Mr.. Elders TRADE against
the bill and the women, only two OF
three said word against it, and ii
would have passed almost unanimous
" if the constitutional inhibition was
removed. AS for myself have been
in favor of it for years and would have
gladly voted for the bill but for that.
Elders usury bill was up for con-
sideration last week Wednesday. The
Republicans and some of the Demo
Gratis made strong fight against it,
as being against the borrower, and
unwise at the present time at any
rate, when so many are in debt and
must borrow or lose what they have.
On its final passage every Republican
but two and some of the Democrats
voted against as did two Alliance
men.
4 bill to change the name of Geary
county to Davis was up in the House
last week. This is another of the pet
measures of the Alliance. The county
was named after jeff. Davis long years
ago. They claim it was named after
David Davis but the protest presented
by the Republicans against the pass
age of the bill showed beyond doubt
that such was not the case. In voting
on the bill the Republicans voted
solidly against it and the Alliance
almost TO man for it. The only OBJ
ject in the change is that half luna
tic and half anarchist by the name of
John Davis, of Geary county, has been
elected to Congress, and he wants to
write his name John Davis, of Davis
county, a man who has got less sense
than any member of the Peoples
party that we have seen. For a solid
half hour or better we heard him tell
how the people owned the railroads
that they had paid for them 8 or 4
times in land and bonds, and lots of
other such nonsense. Your humble SER
want got Extremely tired and instanced
the Fort Scott road which got two
thousand dollars to the mile in bond,
had to buy its right Of way, and took
az least $4,000 q mile 10 build il.

did i belong to Il not TO those who
put this money into it? He did not

we have waited patiently for it.

OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
l.. B. PEARSON.


TOPEKA, Feb. "a.
The discussion of Elders railroad
bill in the House yesterday drew out
varied assortment Of opinions. The
debate lasted three hours and Elder
then rushed the measure through over
the protests of Repu blicans who insis-
ted that his railroading plan of pass
ing laws was unprecedented in the
history of legislative assemblies. But
what did Elder care for parliamentary
law or rules governing the legislature3
He was determined to force the bill
through and did so, making his SUBJ
jects walk up to the rack and take their
medicine. 1t was shown by figures
from official sources that there is not
a railroad in Kansas today making
expenses, and that they could not
stand further reduction of their rev.
enue. Elder made a long speech in
favor of the bill, directing his remarks
principally to the section relating to
the issuance of passes. He quoted
from a speech of Charles Francis Ad-
ans, in which that magnate is report
ed to have said that if the pass system
was abolished railroads could reduce
their passenger rates to two cents per
mile. Mr.. Pearson of Allen made q
vigorous speech in reply to Mr.. Elder
in which he said that there was prob
ably not a member of the House but
who carried a pass, and that he did
not think that fact would influence
them in the matter of legislation. Mr..
Pearson was in favor of striking out
that part of the section which author
ICES the railroad company to issue a
pass to live stock shippers; he thought
a live stock shipper should have no
more privileges than any other ship
per. This bill as Elder knew will
never get out of the hands of the Sem
ate committee. If it does it is certain
it will not have over three or four
votes in that body.
~
The Coffeyville dynamite investi-
eating committee is still dragging
along, and it seems there is little hope
of getting down to business. Mrs.
Lease will appear before the Commit
tee to substantiate some of the charges
she made OH the stump last fall. 1t
will be remembered that she declared
that Gov. Humphrey, Henry. Booth
and others were the instigators of that
crime. The Republican members of
the committee who remembered these
charges thought Mrs. Lease would
make a good witness and that if she
knew so much about the affair last
fall when she was preaching anarchy
over the State, she might be able to
give some light on the subject no ".
She will have an opportunity.
~
This morning the conference Com
mittee from the House and Senate met
to agree upon the amount of money
to be appropriated for seed for west
ern Kansas farmers. The sum of $780,
900 was agreed Oh, but the Senate COM
mittee declined to make it donation
preferring to make it in the form of a
loan. The House committee declined
to consider the proposition and with
drew and there it rests.
~
Elder is pushing his usury bill but
he knows it will never pass the Senate.
He admitted as much to-day, but said
he sit will make me Governor in 1892"

everything to this object. REX.
