Library Nesting.

The E. & M. Library Association held
a meeting last Friday evening and the
library room was crowded. There were
more men in the room during the meet
ing than we have seen there for a num-
Der OF years. OF course there was a
cause for it. Many thought the meet
ing was called for the purpose of e~lecting
officers for the ensuing term. No
election was held. President Hunt said
the meeting had been called for the
purpose of getting expressions OF general
sentiment in regard to matters which
had caused considerable talk during the
past two weeks.
1t developed that the prime object of the
mass meeting was to secure some quar-
tiers for a smoking room. After a short
discussion President Hunt promised
that he and Supt. Whited would see
what could be accomplished in the mat
ter.
Librarian G. L. Fitchette presented his
report and it was accepted and ordered
filed. The Librarian was rendered q
unanimous vote of confidence for his
good work and jealous efforts to promote
the interests of the association.
Treasurer J. H. Whited submitted his
report and it was referred to the Finance
committee. The treasurer report showed
the association to be in a first-class
financial condition. President G. H.
Hunt was given the credit of lifting the
association out OF debt and placing it
upon a sound financial basis. The cred
it was justly given as the Library has
lourished during his administration and
he takes a great interest in its affairs.
The Presidency is a thankless position,
to say the least, and we hope that the
members will prevail upon Mr.. Hunt to
serve again and continue the good work.
We dread to think of losing his services
under any condition of affairs.
Election of officers will be held Fri
day night.

$4,000 DAMAGES.
A Suit Brought to Recover that Amount
Against the s. P. Go.

Notice of the commencement of a suit
for the recovery OF $25 900 damages
against the Southern Pacific Company,
was on the 18th inst. served on j. l..
Wines, the agent OF the company for
Nevada, by Clarke & Jones acting as
attorneys for Mrs. Horace M. Johnson.
The suit is brought to recover damages
alleged to have been sustained by the
palintiff in the death of her husband,
Horace M. Johnson, who was fatally in
jured on the 14th day of August of last
year by falling from his engine in Hum
boldt county, which caused his death six
days later. The compliant on file alleges
that the death OF the engineer was due

running for the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and which defect was known to
the said company. The suit will be
tried in the U. S. Circuit Court, Clarke
& Jones representing the plaintiff and
Baker, Wines & Dorsey the defendant.

A mass meeting will be held at the
Reno Opera House next Saturday "
ing under the auspices of the Western
Nevada immigration Association. 1t is to
be hoped that there will be a general at
tendance as the object is a laudable one.
There are vast ~undeveloped in
Nevada to which the attention of East
ern capitalists and home seekers should
be directed. The soil is unsurpassed in
fertility and productiveness where water
can be procured for irrlgating it, and,
save in exceptionally dry seasons, which
only occur once in a decade, there is
water enough going to waste in the prin-
clpal streams of the State to irrigate
large areas which now produce only
sagebrush. The climate is unequaled in
salubriousness. There are more days on
which the sun shines in Nevada thar in
any other State in the Union.
If these and other advantages possessed
by Nevada were generally known, and
n of the objects OF the meeting is to
devise means for disseminating the
knowledge, thousands of wealth and
home seekers would doubtless be at
tracted to Nevada.-ournal.

The Latin Glass

EDITOR OF THE DISPATCH:
In II OF the columns of your last
issue appeared an article about Latin in
our schools and suggesting that our time
could be better employed upon English
grammar, photography, and arithmetic.
In Justice to ourselves we would say
that:
LIST. The above. three studies are
studied by us.
2nd. Latin is an outside study and is
heard outside of school.
Sd. 1t is better to recite at recess than
to waste our time in idle play.
We do not all expect to be ministers
to Dahomey and we beg to remind you
that they don't speak Latin in Dahomey.
About the cases Of brain fever about
which some OF our parents seem to
think probable we say that a Wadsworth
pupil was never yet known to be SO
afflicted and perhaps never will be.
Our register shows that a parent with
a child in the Latin class has yet to visit
the school while in session.
Let them visit the school II then
make the complaints.
Yours Respectfully,
THE LATIN CLASS.
"Caecus tier monstrare vult."
The DISPATCH said you could very
profftably spend a great deal more time
in improving your knowledge of English.
Is hat not SO?
The DIsPATcH said you were deficient
in photography, English grammar, or
simple mathematics. Is that not 30 ?
You have no regular daily recitations
and instructions in the studies mem
toned. Is that not so?
The wor Is you use in the second do
not express our meaning. Is that not
SO?
You state the third as a fact. You
are not qualified to Judge. Is that not SO ?
There are few pupils attending the
schools, those in theLatin class excepted,
who would make such a statement. Is
that not so?
You say Latin is heard outside of
school and the DISPATCH claims that
Dahomey is outside of school. Is that
not SO?
You are in no danger OF brain fever
you are not vegetarians. Since latin
Is not heard in the school, as you imply,
parents bave no complaints to make.

Fog.

The town has been enveloped in fog

and is seemingly blown thither through

has not been free from it for a number

day night.

A boy in the Wichita schools has been
suspended for reading the following es-
say on "Pants:" pants are made for
men and not men for pants. Women
are made for men and not for pants.
When a mar pants for q woman and a
women pants for a man, they are a pair
of pants. Such pants don't last. Pants
are like molasses, they are thinner in
hot weather and thicker in cold. The
man in the moon changes his pants dur
ing the eclipse. Don't you go to the pan
try for pants, you might be mistaken.
Men are often mistaken in pants. Such
mistakes are breeches of promise. There
has been much discussion as to whether
pants is singular or plural. Seems to
me when men wear pants they are plu-
raj, and when they don't wear any pants
it is singular. Men go on a tear in their
pants and it is all right, but when the
pants go on a tear, it is all wrong

Some Timely Suggestions with Respect to
avery Important Branch Of the System
OF Education.

Very Important Branch of the System
OF Education.
Editor Gazette and Journal: This subject,
which is now agitating the teachers
mind, is an important and difficult ono.
Probably no plan can be adopted which,
n practice, Mill prove entirely. free from
objection. The meaning Of the word in
the original indicates the design Of the
examination. The word from which Ii Is
derived means ITO weigh" or TO ascertain
the weight of an object by the use of the
balance. Therefore, in the case of a
student, II is process by which to ascer-
tain his knowledge on some given subject.
In anticipation of II the student is more
careful in his preparation OF the lesson
and more attentive to the instructor
given by the teacher; and there is some
present benefit in requiring him TO give
expression 10 his knowledge, either orally
or in writing, or both, But tho principal
design is to obtain from the student an
accurate and precise statement OF his
knowledge. of the subject which he has
been studying, The examination NAV he
unnecessary for the information Of the
teacher, as he generally knows the exact
progress each member Of his class has
made, but 1t may be thought necessary for
the satisfaction OF trustees, parents and
others.
II it is decided to hold the examination
VltHl question arises at once. What shall
constitute IAN accurate and precise state
ment" Of the pupils knowledge? Mega.
lively, the examination ought not TO ex-
tend to the minute details OF the subject,
for these tax the memory and burden the
mind of the pupil to his disadvantage. II /
were asked TO define the object Of educa-
ton in the briefest manner, my answer
would be: 1t is to enable the mind to gem
eralize. Therefore, the teacher, as his
pupil progresses, will endeavor to impress
upon him comprehensive principles, drop
ping out minor matters and minute de-
tails.
Aiiirmatiyely. then, the examination
should require a statement of leading pfin-
ciples. This, however, will not exclude
apt illustrations Of the subject.
But, perhaps, 1t may be worth while 10
give nay experience in partially dispensing
with examinations.
In the department of literature and
civics have for several years past excused
from examination all such pupils as had
attended every recitation ia those studies,
respectively, and had made an average of
30, marking on the scale of 100. rbave
