Teachers Meeting

The Trego County Teachers associa-
ton met at Wa-Keeney, April Z, 1894.
Eta Hazen, Sarah Wolf, D. McCol-
lum, Carrie Sweet, Nellie Sweet, Carrie
Stradal, l.. D. Countryman, II. Harlan,
A. S. Peacock, Prof. S. Opp, W. H..
Swiggett, Elise Neuenschwander, Mrs.
Jessie Taylor and Mary Shepherd were
present.
The visitors were, Mr.Wolf, Miss Ida
Hazen and Miss Countryman.
L. D. Countryman read paper on
"Civil Government and Constitutions in
the Public Schools" in which he men
toned the necessity for government and
progress of the same during past years,
and reasons for teaching this very inn
portant branch in our common schools.
AS the pupils of to-day will soon be call
ed upon to exercise the rights of citizen
ship SO every child should be taught
civil government.
1t was the opinion of those present
that it would not be best to take up the
text book till the pupils had reached the
higher grades, but that they should be
given practical instruction occasionally
at general exercises and at other spare
time.
Miss Wolf read a paper on Political
Parties and Principles Past and Pres
ent," which showed careful work in its
preparation. One point OF much inter
est was a list of all the names and nick
names that have been applied to the
various parties. As some OF these names
were quite unfamiliar 1t required con-
siderable work to find the origin of them
all. -
A thorough review of the Current His
tory for March was given by D. McCol-
lum.
Prof. S. Opp conducted the usual les
son in Psychology.
Date and program of our next and last
meeting for this school year will appear
later. MARY SHEPHERD,
Secretary.
