COUNTY TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.


, Every profession, even every trade
has its own organization now, ano
mans standing in his profession
or trade is judged largely by his
utilization with his organization. A
teacher can no more afford to miss
the professional inspiration to be
gained at the annual meeting OF
the educational association than a
lawyer or a physician, or a minis
ter, or a journalist can afford to
stay away from the gatherings of
his fellows.
The rural teacher needs these
meetings because he especially
needs whatever will draw him away
from his narrow round of duties
and give him a broader conception
of his work. The city teacher needs
them particularly, because she
needs to find out that there are
others who know how to teach and
to think and to talk. The high
school man and the college profess
sor need these meetings, because
they ought often to touch elbows
with others in all ranks of the pro-
fession on a floor where man is
taken for what he is-for what he
can contribute to the general fund
of thought.
In short, the man who has not,
should attend the meetings of the
county associations that he may
receive; the man who has, should
attend that he may give OF his
abundance. All are benefited, not
only professionally, but culturally
and socially. The interchange of
thought, the face-to-tace talks, the
social meetings, the forming of
strong new friendships and the
tirmer cementing of old associa-
tions, all combine to clean out old
views and ways of thinking and do
ing and implant new and vigorous
ideas and give refreshment to the
soul. There is not teacher in the
county so humble that he cannot
help at these meetings, and not an
educator so profound that he
cannot gain something from the
good that goes on there. All who
attend will derive some educational
and social benefit, and will leave
the association with higher ideals,
more inspiration, greater earnest
ness, and be better prepared to
perform the duties OF a teacher.

PSYCHOLOGY OF TEACHING.

q To the skilled teacher a knowl
edge of psychology is Indispensable
The sculptor, in order 10 make lii,
ideal statue, must know Just where
to strike with the chisel. The
painter who paints the finest pic
ture, knows just when and where tt
apply the colors in order to bring
out the most delicate shades. We
rarely ever find child with mine
evenly developed. While one is
wanting in the Imagination, another
is wanting in perception, another
in reason, etc. If we were to select
the powers of mind that need spe-
cial cultivat1on-leaving out the
moral faculties and emotions
would say the four great powers,
Perception, Memory, Imagination
and Reason should come first.
Perception is that faculty by
which we get a knowledge of exter-
nal objects. Every one has observed
how much more readily some chill
dren can discover the shape, size
and peculiarities of an object placed
OClOLC LuCLu IudA OLlICI
Often the memory is cultivated to
the neglect of the other faculties.
Pupils are apt to depend on the
memory in the Rotations.
The Imagination in most children
is more fully developed than any
other faculty. All the fairy tales
in the modern readers appeal to
this imagination. The world is
full of images to the child. He /
builds magnificent cities, lays out
splendid farms, rides horses and
chariots without number. To the
child, more than to any one else,
"There are tongues in trees, books
in the running brooks, sermons in
stones, and good in everything" 1t
is this that makes us grownup chill
dren create ideals higher than we
ever reach. | know not whether
there is danger OF cultivating the
imagination to too high degree.
Be that as it may, it is one OF the
great powers of mind that should
be developed, or allowed to develop,
in the child.
The next faculty which we come
to consider is that highest OF all
powers, the reason. By reason we
discern truth from error, right from
wrong. The want of this power
makes the child depend on memory
i'll his Rotations. Nearly all the
branches will develop this faculty
if rightly taught, but especially
helpful is the careful reading of the
best books.
l hope we as teachers will teach
with purpose in view, and that
that purpose will be the develop
ment of the highest powers of the
youthful mind.

TIME IN RELATION TO SCHOOLWORK.
Just now it is opportune to con.
slider how we can save time in
schoolwork. The manager of any
business is always careful of the
scraps of time. The teacher should
be doubly careful of time, for be-
sides time saved for study-which
is time saved for each individual in
the class he is teaching habits
that will affect future generations.
Habit is that condition of mind or
body resulting from the frequent
performance of an action. If a
child is taught daily to economize
time IN all he does, it will become a
habit that will be a friend in all
lite's performances.
One main duty in every teacher is
to have each child leave school with
we'll formed habits of economy of
space and time. Time for all du-
ties or tasks; and to carefully and
neatly do every task is an accom-
plishment one might be proud of.
First, time may be saved by get
ting quiet promptly after entering
the schoolroom. Second, by pass
ing hats and wraps promptly.
Third, by changing promptly from
one recitation to another. Fourth,
by more frequent use of the topical
method of recitation. Fifth, by
teaching prompt obedience to all
the regulations of the school-thus
forming habits of obedience to law,
the one thing needed in order to
make law-abiding citizen. {
Thus time-saving is only the for
nation of correct or useful habits,
and the constant drilling is neces-
sary to form or so impress a re-
peated action as to make 1t habit.
Bad habits are like noxious weeds,
which thrive on any soil, with or
without cultivation, and when half
uprooted 60 on growing as If there
had been no disturbance, and finally
so poison the soil that it is incapa-
bic of producing a useful crop.
Good habits, like rare flowers,
must be carefully watched and cul-
tivated; lacking elements must be
supplied to the soil, and they must
not be left to themselves before
maturity. One praiseworthy fea-
ture of our school is that we make
automatic, or habitual, as early as
possible so many good, systematic,
and time-saving actions.

Arrested for Embezzlement.

Ex-County Court Clerk w. N
True, of Jackson, whose term OF
office expired in Septemb Der, and
whose books have been undergoing
investigation by expert account
ants, was arrested last Saturday
at Jackson on a warrant sworn out
by Charles Merriwether of the Guar
antee and Fidelity Company of Bal
timore. His company as surety for
True, to-day paid c. D. M. Greer,
State Revenue Agent, So, 083, which
it is claimed True owes the State
for money embezzled during his
term of Office.
True gave bond for $4,000 and
was released. The amount due the
county, as per the report of the ex-
ports, is above So, 400. This will be
reported to the county, and it is
stated that the Security Company
will pay over to the county the
above amount.
True will probably be arrested
and required to give a second bond.
Merriwether, who has had consid-
cradle dealings in all parts of the
country with officers short in their
accounts, stated tonight that he
would land somebody behind the
bars, and he knew of other points
which would be developed later, in
timatlng that there might be other
shortages in the conduct of county
affairs. 1t is probable there will
be sensational developments before
the matter is settled.

On Thursday night of last week, Miss
Belle Black passed away from earth,
after n short illness. Almost before her
friends became we'll aware of her sick
ness, she had died. Fever, with atten
ant complications. was the cause Of
death. Just as her twenty third year
was nearing completion, this charming
young lady was called away from her
loving parents, brothers and sisters.
Reared in lovely home, with every ad-
vantage, Miss Black had developed into
a most lovely character and wherever
she went, made hosts Of friends. Among
the young people OF Lamar, she was n
special favorite, and her bright and
cheerful presence will be sadly missed.
Funeral services were held at the home
east of town, and were conducted by
Rev. Vaughn, of the Presbyterian
church. A selected choir rendered the
hymns requested. These services were
held on Saturday morning, and were at
tended by large number. On Sunda y
morning, n special train conveyed the
family and friends, escorting the remains
to Las Animas, where all that was earth
ly OF the deceased was laid away beside
the brother and sister, who had passed
on before. The family have the sincere
sympathy OF the entire community, in
their loss and sorrow.

School Notes

The Lamar public schools opened for
the year with an enrolment OF $50.
Four new teachers began work with
this year, Misses Thoman, Welpton, Wat
son and Gauss. There is one additional
teacher over last years corps.
Teachers and pupils enter upon the
new years work with commendable zeal
and earnestness.
Every room in both buildings is now
used, there being teacher employed for
each of the eight grades, one for the
kindergarten and two in the high school.
Much school interest was manifested
in the fair exhibit. The names OF prem
ium winners will be published later.
At the teachers meeting on Monday
before school opened, there was full
attendance of teachers. The president
and secretary of the board of education
we're also present. The welfare Of the
school and the relation of the teachers
to her work in general were discussed.
General conditions are more favorable
than ever before for successful school
year. The classification and grading is
more nearly perfect, school interest is
stronger, the general equipment in the
way OF libraries and laboratories is better
and the force OF teachers is surely up to
the high standard now required by the
board OF education.

She gave me herC1ittle hand, and. I
took it and held it in my own. Then
! released it and we strobe back
along the garden7path together with
cut another word. The afternoon
was well advanced by this time, and
when we reached the summer-house..
where Codd was still reading, we
found that a little wicker tea-table
had been brought out from the house
and that chairs had been placed for
us round it.. TO my thinking there
is nothing that becomes pretty
woman more than. the mere common
nlace act of pouring out tea. 1t was
certainly SO in this case. When I
looked at the white cloth upon the
table, the heavy brass tray, and the
silver jugs and teapot, and thought
| OF my own cracker earthenware ves-
sci, then reposing in cupboard in
my Office, and in which l brewed my
cup of tea every afternoon, smiled
to myself. I felt that I should never
use it again without recalling this
meal. After that I wondered wheth-
er it would ever be my good fortune
to sit in this garden again, and to sip
my Orange Pekoe from the same
dainty service. The thought that I
might not do so was, strangely
enough, an unpleasant one, and put
it from me with all promptness. Dur
ing the meal, Kitwater scarcely ut
| tered a word. We had exhausted the
probabilities of the case long since,
and soon found that he could think
or talk of nothing else. At six
o'clock I prepared to- make my

for London at the half-hour, and I
should just have time to walk the
distance comfortably. To my de-
light my, hostess decided to go to
church, and said she would walk
with me as far as the lych-gate.~ She
accordingly left US and went into the
