TEACHERS TRAINING.

Through slight misunderstand-
ing the BULLETIN waited for a report
expected from teacher of the meet.
ing OF the Teachers Association on
Tuesday evening. As a result there
was no report in this paper. The
event having been important as well
as interesting, few words about the
addresses may here be employed as
a basis of comment. Professor
Lyons OF Oahu College argued
lucidly in behalf Of leading pupils
to habitually observe objects, as a
beginning Of scientific education. II
they were not thus led into habits Of
observation, their natural curiosity
the beginning OF the thirst for
knowledge-would gradually wear
away and be replaced by blind in
difference toward the lessons every
where waiting to be learned. Rev.
j. M. Chase gave an address on frac-
tions, showing how the reasons for
common processes in handling frac-
tons can be made clear to children.
He argued that a child might know
the names and rules aud tables per-
fectly, yet be without adequate know
ledge OF the nature OF arithmetic and
it's various arbitrary processes. Mr..
Hutchinson traced the history Of
systematic art teaching, which is not
very old, and in a clear manner indi-
Gated methods OF art instruction
which would develop the child's
talents in that branch to the best
advantage. He advocated extend
ing into the older schools the clay
modelling practised in the kinder
garten.
Such gathering for such instruc-
ton compels the opinion that Homo
lula and the islands have lost a great
deal by the lateness of this associa-
TONS appearance. In the absence
OF a normal school-though normal
instruction has Of late years been
carried on to a limited extent-peri-
odical gatherings Of teachers, open
to all friends Of education, for hear
ing lectures by competent special
lists, must be deemed to have very
high value. 1t is to be hoped that
the association will not flag in carry
ing forward its work.

THE WORK OF BOYS.
New York Central Passenger
Train Derailed and Badly
Wrecked.
Was Running Sixty Miles an
Hour and Every Car Was
Thrown.
Three Men Instantly Killed
and a Number of Others
Injured. ...,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov 21.-A de-
hberate attempt was successfully made
a few miles west of Rome TO wreck
train No. 6 on the New York Central
railroad, the engine and all of the cars
on the train being ditched and com
plotely wrecked. The engineer of the
train, Nate Hager of Albany, and two
tramps were killed. The fireman, Chris
Wagner of Albany, and Mail Clerks
Porter and Mccarthy Were injured.
This is the second attempt within three
weeks to wreck the same train near the
same spot. which is an ideal one for the
commission of such crime. It is on
heavy down grade and trains usually
run down it ut the rate of 60 miles an
hour. The train consisted of four mail
cars and three slsepers. There were IL
postal clerks and IA passengers aboard,
besides the members of the crew. When
the crash came the engine was thrown
from the track into the ditch and

only the driving wheels on the left side
being above the earth. The forward
mail car was thrown two car lengths
ahead Of the engine and rolled down
the bank. The second car, in which
the mail clerks were working, was
thrown on the tender Of the engine and
badly demolished. The first one of the
sleepers was thrown from the rails,
completely rolling over. The second
car was simply turned on its side, while
the rear sleeper did not leave the tracks
at all. Engineer Hager went down
with his engine and must have been in
stantly killed. The fireman, Chris
Wagner, was badly injured about the
head and 1t is feared that he was inter
nally hurt. The two tramps who were
found dead are supposed to have been

John Hildreth and Frederick Bristol,

unusual case was rendered by Judge
Hustled of the district court Matt
McSherry, who was well off, was
drowned last summer. He boarded at
the Central House, kept by one Regan.
The latter gave the deceased genuine
Irish wake, and put in q bill for the ex-
pense of the same to the estate, which
the heirs disputed. The judge decided
that as wakes are customary among
Irish Catholics, as part of the obse-
ouies, the estate was liable for the ex-
pense, and the claim valid, and gave a
decision accordingly.
