OUR HONE EDUCATORS.
A Large and Important Gathering Of
Otero County TeacheFA

The Otero county teachers meeting
assembled last Friday under the auspices
OF Supt- Fenlason. The attendance was
very large, making it the most important
educational gathering ever assembled in
this portion Of the state The program
given In Last weeks ENTERPRISE was
earned out with only slight exceptions.
The papen and addresses were Of high
grade OF merit. and the teachers who
the occasion went home much prOdted
by the two days session.
Friday evening DIR. Snyder, Pres. Of
the State Normal, Greeley, delivered a
lecture at the NJ E. church on The
Model Teacher" Early in the lecture
he paid high tribute to voman's iner-
rant intuition, her first impression being
more accurate than mans labored reas-
oning. The Widespread adoption Of
kindergarten instruction was warmly
commended. The teacher was not per-
son who boarded around and damned
the boy" but queen, welding a scep-
strumental IN the formation OF the moral
character Of her scholars. Fitting pre-
parstion Of body, mind and soul were
needed for the teachers work. The value
Of her work will be measured by how
much good character she can build mp.
There are more failures among teachers
from disposition than from scholarship.
With good health, based on a good stom-
ach, and clear conscience, he would
guarantee the disposition. A teacher
should have at least eight hours sleep,
and should cultivate a reposed body, not
wasting nervous energy. Waste Of ner-
vous force was illustrated by restlessness
Of the body when one is riding in car
nage to catch train-as il the uneasy
motions Of the body would get one to the
station any quicker. The teacher should
train the attitude, step and voice. The
hand should be skilled Drawing was
important, helping to vividly illustrate
the lessons. The ease with which draw
ing could be done was shown by the
speaker saying that he could draw a pic
ture Of soldier going through door
with dog and would make only three
strokes Of the crayon. He stepped to the
blackboard and In three motions pro-
duced the promised picture:

-Thone Of our citizens who intend to
make improvements about their property
during the coming spring and summer
should arrange to do all they can now,
and thus give immediate work to the un-

Manual training was highly commend
ed for boys, teaching exsctness and care
fulness which will extend through the
whole life. Girls should also be taught
domestic econony-how to cook good
meals and spread an attractive table.
t,eving should also be taught in the
grammar grades. Three things were nee
essary for the successful teacher: u sound
body, sound mind and common sense.
This last was defined as q knowledge of
things right about you. Every teacher
should know what they can do-find their
limitations and labor to strengthen their
weak points. You should know the schol-
ars. You cannot by your own exertions
give child that which nature has de-
MED them. You should cot worry over a
child's lack Of capacity. Analyse the
school and know the temperament of
each child Hereditary traits are hard
full that the inherited elements have no
chance. In visiting the homes of your
pupils, or even in passing their houses,
You have knowlede of their surround
ings which should be of value to you in
training them. Each recitation should
be feast-freeh from recent study, and
the teacher enter heartily and en-
Enthusiastically into all the studies. You
can fix your own salaries by your devo-
tion to the work. The best schools Of
the land are always on the lookout for
the superior teachers. Nothing will take
the place Of labor, which makes growth.
q sympthetic heart and be near the chill
dren, love them and do all you can for
them. You must have hope yourself and
faith in the children. Build high ideals
and work toward il you do not reach
them. The address closed with an earn
est appeal to the teachers to remember
the great responsibility resting on them
as the chief factors In the formation Of
the children's characters, urging the nm
portance Of high moral standards as well
as scholarship.
