Teachers Meeting Saturday.

Teachers meeting called to order
by county Superintendent.
The following program was carried
out.
How to teach Reading and what
mental qualifications must good
readers possess and employ? c. E.
Pile, followed by discussion.
What are the principal subjects to
which attention should be given in
teaching or learning the art of writ
ing and how conduct the recitation
so as to create an interest? W. G..
McGee, followed by discussion.
What is it to educate a human be-
Ing Alright and when should the work
begin, with reasons for the same?
Discussion by several present.
How to teach fractions to begin
ners? General discussion.
The meeting was quite interesting
and well attended. We are glad to
see such a growing interest in our as
SOciatiOn and reading circle. All
teachers who expect to remain in the
profession should see that their
names appear before the public in
these associations, thereby manifest
ing an interest that will recommend
them to school boards generally.
Some of our worthy teachers must
awake to this practical part Of their
calling. Again, they should come
prepared to say something and not
always remain silent. Look out fol
program for our next regular meeting
which is the first Saturday in May
These meetings are always the first
Saturday of each month. The follow

The VOICE made mention few
weeks ago of little boy that had
been left at the poor farm for whom
Superintendent Reed was seeking a
home. He was four years old and his
name was George Whaley. On last
Thursday afternoon he came near be-
ing drowned. He wandered down to
the creek unnoticed and fell in. Sam
Garlitz, an idiotic charge of the
home, saw him and waded in after
him. He pulled him to the shore
and laid him on the bank with his
head dOwnhill and went off and left
him. After some little time he told
another idiOtic inmate of the home
about the occurrence and she a little
later told another inmate who was
possessed of his reason and he ran
ana got the boy and brought him to
the house. This is estimated to have
been about an hour after the accident
happened. Superintendent Reed was
at once notified and applied stimu-
lantS, which soon brought the BOY
back to consciousness. If the boy
had been laid with his head up the
hill so that the water would not have
run out of him, he would doubtless
have died. AS it is he seems to be all
right. He was taken out to the cOun'
try the same evening, Mr.. G. P
Slinker, Of Sumner township, giving
him a home.

zones County Calf Case Likely to Be
Shorn of Its Iaurels.
A case was tried before Justice Wen Tues
day which seems likely TO knock out of the
ring the calf case which has given Jones
county, this state, about all the lame il ever
had. 1t is a colt this time and the colt
belonged to Chris Hansen, n 5-year-old boy.
Its value, according to the best evidence now
attainable, seems to be about So. so. Chris
Larson had n bill for groceries against
James Hansen, the father of the boy, and as
the old man refused TO pay he sued out
u writ of attachment for the horse.
The attachment caused a tremendous
commotion in the Immediate cir
Gle of the Hansen and Larson acquaintances,
but IL was not a circumstance to that later
on. Hansen replcvined The horse and yes
terday the repleyin suit was brought up for
trial. Hansen claimed TO have been damaged
IN the sum OF 50, and after ali the evidence
had been heard the court decided that he
had the best of the case and gave him "a
judgment. This outraged Larson's. feelings
and he at once took an appeal 10 the district
court, The costs are already more than the
value OF the horse, but by the time the case
has been through the district court every
body concerned will devoutly wish that
3-year-old colt had died about four years ago,
