WHITE PINE COUNTY ITEMS
From the News Of February 1871

From the News of February 1871
We are informed that the run on Ameri-
can Victor ore just completed ct the
Campbell mill yielded about $500 from
fifteen tons.
A. D. Campton received Q letter this
week from Arthur Mathewson. which
states that they are comfortably settled in
their new home in Los Angeles. II also
contains mention Of q number Of old
White Pine people whom they have met.
The long expected pulverizer and other
machinery for the Robust mill will be here
in Q day or two and will be placed In posi-.
ton as soon as possible. The shrill note
Of the whistle and the crunch OF the
crusher will be sweet music In the ears OF
men who have been idle for months. The
mine continues 10 look we'll.
Russell Martin and wife came In late last
evening from Cherry, bringing Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Buchanan. II seems that Mrs.
B~uchsnan's illness has developed into in
sanity which will probably necessisate her
removal to Reno for treatment.
We learn this week that an option WAS
recently given to Salt Lake parties on the
Jupiter mine In this district, Of which L.
3. Scott, W. J. Peters and R. NJ. Peters
are the owners. The prospective pur-
chssers are expected to arrived here within
9 few weeks 70 inspect the property. and
the prospects for Q sale is good.
The Board Of School Trustees Of this
district have for some time been contem.
plating the division Of the school which
has been much TOO large for one teacher.
They have accordingly rented the Peaslse
building on Main street for four months
alta low figure and have transformed 1t
into . neat school.room, In which q pri.
mary school was opened last Monday, pre-
sided over By Miss Jennie Carothers.
About seventeen Of the scholars who were
least advanced have been transferred 10
the new department.

The Brooklyn Eagle inveighs against
the over-study that Is forced upon sne
children in the public schools OF Brooklyn.
We believe that In very many places be-
side Brooklyn there should either be Q
reduction in the studies or an increase In
the teachers. For instance, q teacher In
the younger classes, should have the time
when giving out the lesson for next day,
TO explain 10 the class the nature OF II,
and, when practicable, to illustrate on the
blackboard the meaning Of IL. In that
way children would have an idea OF what
they were going about, and hours on what
may be . mere detail or an obscure word
ing OF . proposition, would be saved.
Then, rules should not be Left for children
10 study out. Every term used should be
explained, and after the explanation, the
teacher should have time TO turn back TO
the GLASS and and out II the explanation
10 understood. When q teacher simply
marks the beginning and ending OF Q
lesson for the succeeding day, and dis
misses the class, ID Is absolutely certain
that one-half Of the class Will not bali
master the lesson, and that IL they, on the
succeeding day are able, psrrot-like, 70 90
through the recitation, they will be utterly
blank II the lesson 10 turned back TO in .
week and they are questioned upon II.
The reason is, they learned something by
rote without any comprehension OF the
principle or design underlying il, and
there is nothing on which what they learn
can cling, aud the lesson so learned is
like quicksilver is when poured into a hot
retort-it is volatilized and escapes.
Finally, ths school teacher should be the
greatest souled person in the world; one
high and true enough to catch and hold q
ehild's heart and true confidence, SO that
the child will trust in the teacher i'm
plicitly, and when in trouble, go as quickly
and confidently 10 the teacher as to its
parent. This is not often the case, and
where 10 is not, then the utmost care
should be exercised that the burden OF
study should not be 80 great as TO first
break down the child's courage, and sec
ond, its body and mind under the In
creased strain.
