TEACHERS MEETING.
Western Division Met at Silver Lake
Last Saturday.

UGSIS1n 04V4s4Ou mel dt 0A4NSA 10AS
Last Saturday.
The first meeting of the western
division of the Kenosha County Teach
ers' Association took place at Silver
Lake Oct. S.
The new officers elected were:
President, Miss Lizzie Button; vice
president, Miss Eta Mcdonald; secre-
tary, Lulu Lampe.
Supt. Griffith gave a talk on the
Classification of Schools Under the
State Course of Study. Such CLASH
fication would carry out the intent of
the state law, and be great saving of
time and energy. Nothing is so dis
Icouraging to pupil as to be put back
at the beginning of every term. Every
teacher should leave full class record.
Miss Eta Mcdonald led off in the
discussion regarding the methods of
teaching spelling. 1t is thought best
to master that art largely by dietation
exercises. Words are thus seen in
their proper relation to other words in
the sentence. Spelling words should
always be pronounced in advance.
Why should pupil con tho letters of a
word whose pronunciation is unknown
to him? How can he know unless he
is taught?
In the afternoon Supt. Griffith gave
a talk on Lesson Plans" He showed
method of having pupils prepare a
series of questions relating to any topic
in history, geography, etc. When a
pupil has prepared full set Of such
questions you may be sure he las the
thought.
Miss Lulu Lampe led the discussion
| in regard to Instruction exercises in
Teaching. She illustrated by giving a
model lesson is history.
twenty-five teachers were present,
an unusually large number. In our
meetings we intend giving great prom
inence to the social part. Long and
| frequent recesses are best. Teachers
can thus exchange ideas with perfect
| freedom. We intend having a very
brief afternoon session.
The outlook for successful school
! year was never better.

tive manner that the Prime Min,
lister Is resolved that all the legal
proceedings relating tar or near to
the Dreyfus affair shall be con-
Quoted with the most absolute fair
ness and independence, and free
from any government or military
pressure. The knowledge that
the Prime Minister and the major
ity of the Cabinet are convinced
that Dreyfus has been, if not in
nocentIy, at any rate illegally,
convicted, can not fail to stlTen
the backs of most magistrates and
witnesses.
1t is expected that in the course
of these various trials by the ordi-
nary criminal tribunals that light
will be shed on the true circum-
stances of the Dreyfus case, that
the guilt Of Esterhazy and of 9TH
ers will be established, and that
the revision of the trial of Dreyfus
and his possible rehabilitation will
result, not from an arbitrary de-
cree of any Minister of the Cabi-
net, but from the verdict of Z Jury,
which Premier Brisson considers
the most uEansverable and incon-
testible of all decisions.
That popular feeling since the
advent to Office Of the present min
istry has undergone great change
is apparent from the fact that since
the action of the grand chancellor
of the Legion of Honor, who is a
General, in suspending lola and
Col. Picquart from the right Of
wearing their cross of the Legion
of Honor, Senator DE Pressense,
who is the editor of the Temps,
the most important newspaper
here, as well as a number of other
eminent men, have written
to the grand chancellor, either re-
signing their membership of the
order, or else declaring that they
would not wear the insignia until
the order of suspension against
Zola and Col. Picquart were re-
pealed.
