EDUCATIONAL.

There was successful teach, RS meet
ing at Grimms last Saturday.
Thoughts suggestions and queries by
Supt. Christensen.
The mastery of reading is rightly the
chief work of early school life.
Ability to read must precede progress
in every other study.
Failure to produce good readers arise
from:
(a) Lack of definite assignment of
lesson
CO. Little real work in preparation.
(c) Too little reading alone required
(d) Lack of high ideal as to what
constitutes good reading.
Are your pupils Interested? l will
tell you when know whether you are
interested, animated. enthusiastic.
A successful teacher is one who can
create in those under his charge de-
sire for higher and better things; a de-
sire that is at the foundation of the best
attainment in our civilization.
Are you allowing partially prepared
lessons to pass?
Are you bearing down hard upon the
essential parts of the lesson?
Are you surprising the inattentive
pupil with an unexpected question?
In the calling or dismissing of classes
do you often make the mistake of giving
The second signal before pupils obey the
first?
Are you firm but kind in the manage
ment of your school?
Are you having any morning exer-
cisesl If not, why not?
Are you teaching memory gems?
Do you govern and teach with refer
ence to the development of character,
self -direction and self-control of your
pupils?
Do you give much oral work in arith-
metic?
Are you giving too large numbers in
tnt PRIMARY lOTIu
Do you allow pupils to give long wind
ed explanations? Let them work more
and talk less.
Do you give problems drawn from the
pupils environment?
Frequently allow pupils to sketch
solutions, that is, state how the problem
is solved without actually performing it.
Where do you stand with reference to
class reciting?
What use are your pupils making of
the library books? What use are you
of Them
No school room is 50 crowded but
what there is still room for fresh air and
good light.
No one can do satisfactory mental
work in an overheated room. 1t makes
not only the pupil but the teacher rest
less, nervous and irritable Good gov
eminent is what patrons are requiring
of teachers, but no teacher can have
good government without pure air.
To the extent of your opportunities
you are morally responsible for the
health Of the pupils while under your
care.

READY FOR WAR.

Managus, Nicaragua, March 26
The warlike movements which for
several months past have been
going on in three of the Central
American states, Salvador and Costa
Rica on the one side. and Nicaragua
on the other. large numbers of men
being impressed into the army of
each state and drilled daily have
reached q condition of completeness
But the indications now are that
there will be no war at present or in
the near future. owing. in part to the
fact that while Salvador has much
the largest and best equipped and
drilled army. there is danger that #
the war ia commenced by Salvador. q
strong revolution will develop in that
country against President Regalado
or that if Nicaragua takes the initi.
alive and attempts to attack Salvador
the people of that country will unite
as one man in support of President
Regalado aud Costa Rica will invade
Nicaragua from the south.
The United States minister to
Costa Rica. Nicarauga and Salvador,
William l. Merry. is at present
temporarily residing in Managua
He is having frequent conferences
