CITY TEACHERS MEETING.

The regular monthly meeting of the
city teachers was held yesterday at the
High school from 9 to II.
DIR Stevenson gave an account of the con-
ference of superintendent which he at
tended in New York recently. The eftic-
iency of the teachers is one ofthe principal
elements in the success of schools and 1t is
a cause of congratulation that the stand
ard of teachers qualifications is constantly
rising The schools of this city and state
are remarkably free from the evils of poll
tics and favoritism.
Mr. j. y. Allen of the High school read
an excellent paper on Literature in the
Public Schools" Pupils should not be re-
quired to devote their whole time and at
tention to the matter of their texts books
in reading; but should be given better
acquaintance with the writings of good
authors than can be afforded by the frag-
ments which the reading books necessarl-
ly contain. This paper was discussed by
Messrs Shull, Carson and others,
Following this was a class exercise IN
United States history by pupils of the A,
grammar grade of the Webster school,
conducted by Mr.. McMicheal. which was
in every respect model recitation. This
exercise was discussed by Miss Cleveland
of the Trying school and Miss Flower of
the Lincoln school.
Miss Mary +. Rowe, principal of the
City Normal school, read a very valuable
paper on the teaching of language.
Mr.. James Allison of the school beard be-
ing present was invited to address the in
stitute. He expressed much satisfaction
with the work and methods of instruction
as he witnessed them in his visits to vari.
Gus schools. He regretted that he could not
make more extended visits to the schools
and become better acquainted with the
teachers and their work.
Miss Hattie Smith of the Emerson school
read an admirable paper on Busy Work in
Primary Grades" How to keep large
school of beginning pupils probably and
pleasantly employed is task of more diff
Guilty than any other with which the teach
er has to deal Miss Smith both in this
paper and in her school room work shows
how this can be done.
Dr. Stevenson in the course of the dis
eussions called attention to the tendency in
schools everywhere to give undue promi-
hence to some one branch. Every subject
should receive the consideration which its
Importance warrants.
The exercises were interspersed with
music, conducted By Professor Young,
Miss Jessie Clark as pianist.
