When several answers to a question are given-some right and some wrong docs the teacher make clear to the class just what the correct answer is before she leaves the question, or does she simply say Look it up for tomor- row and pass on? It is not always wrong to say Look it up for tomorrow, but l have listened to recitations and heard Look it up so often that I thought the lesson assigned for the morrow too long, but the children sec ing that the teacher makes no note of what she asks them to look up, neither do they. and the question is forgotten before the recitation ends.
 "A school officer, superintendent or principal has no right to take charge of a class without first asking the teachers permission. There is always due to the teacher, as manager of a room, a respectful considera tion. I have many times been shocked, when visiting schools with principals and su- pcrintendents, to see the teacher yele- gated to a corner of the room, while the principal or superintendent took She reins in hand and questioned the pupils without once saying with your permission In all cases I hold that the teachers consent should be first obtained before the superintendent a;- sumes the right, a polite right at least 70 ask a single question of the pupils, let alone take the school out of the teachers hands and cut, slash and talk as he would in a club room. The ob- ject of visiting q school is to see the school at work in it's regular working clothes"
 PROPOSED SCHOOL LAWS.
 The association then adopted the fol- lowing report of tke committee on school law:
 Resolved, That this, the Arizona Teachers association, make the fol- lowing recommendations to the lcgis- lature, which meets in Phoeni:; the coming January:
 q. That the act regulating the salary of the county superintendent of first-class counties be amended so that he will receive a salary of $1,20O per year, and in addition thereto that he be allowed $500 per year for expenses.
 ''2. That the act regulating Ehe sal ary of superintendent of public in- struction be amended so that he re- ceive a salary of $2,OO0 per year, and the amount allowed him for printing be increased to $1,000 per year.
 a. We believe that a closer relation should be established between our common schools and the territorial in- stitutions. If pupils who complete the grammar grade studies were given diploma of graduation, with under standing that such should eltItle them U admission to either of the territorial normal schools or the university it would certainly be quite an incentive to efforts to complete the common school studies. Therefore,
 Resolved, That we recommend the passage of an act by our legislature at the coming session to provide that the superintendent of public instruction be required to furnish questions to the various county superintendentS to be distributed to the various districts dur ing the months of February, March, April and May of each year for the completion of the fifth, sixth, seventh and ei yhth grades, and that answers to all papers of the eighth grade be re- turned Ito the county superintendent of the various counties in which such examinations are held, for grading, and that he be authorized to issue to all passing a satisfactOr examination a certificate entitling the holder to enter che normal 0, the preparatory department of the university.
 A. Be it enacted, that there shall be in all districts of one hundred or more children of school age ten cents per head, set apart for library pur- poses and, further that the trustees of all such districts must exp5n nd such amount each year for library purposes under proper supervision.
 Tt shall be the duty of the school superintendent in counties other than the first-class to visit each school in their respective counties at least once each school term to confer with teach ITS and shool officers in the interest of he schools to audit the financial ac- coun.s of the district and have general supervision of school property; and shall be allowed their expenses of said visits. which shall be audited and al lowed by the boards of supervisors of thc respective counties as other claims are allowed; the exr erses incurred not
