A Desert Lighthouse.

Among the remarkable lighthouses of
the world there is at least one not
placed on any mariners chart. 1t is de-
scribed by New York paper:
1t is far out on the Arizona desert
and marks the spot where a well sup
plies pure, fresh water to travellers. 1t
Is the only place where water may be
had for forty-tiye miles TO the eastward
and for at least thirty miles in any
other direction.
The lighthouse is n tall cottonwood
pole, to the top of which a lantern is
holsted every night. The light can be
seen for miles across the plain in every
direction.

singing by the assembly Prof. o. T.
Bright, OF Chicago, was introduced
and gave his hearers some good ideas
on Fittings Worth Considering. His
main thought was on how to save
time. Waste OF time was caused by
lack Of knowledge of how to present
subjects. Asan illustration he brought
out that instead OF sending pupil to
the board to work out problem and
consume whole hour or more In its
solution, 'twould be better In school
work for the teacher to read the
example and for the pupil to explain
how the problem would be solved.
Teach a pupil to read properly. Do
not rush little child In reading, let
them take time to get the thought.
So, many failures In other studies are
caused by the pupils lack Of power to
get the thought from reading print.
ed page, as the thought had not been
emphasized In early reading lessons.
Prof. w. B. Barrows talked interest
ingly on "Some Birds and How TO
Study Them" He showed several
mounted specimens, and told how TO
get at the approximate measurement
OF a bird. He advised the cultivation
of the habit Of observation, for 1t is
the little things that distinguish some
birds. Knowing the habits OF some
birds, spreads the sentiment against
their being ruthlessly killed, and your
knowledge thereby protects them.
He showed how birds were protected
by their colorings, the brighter colors
being underneath, the color OF the
back often combining with its sur
roundiugs, making it not an easy mat
ter to distinguish it.
Prof. w. Fl. French, of Causing,
talked on 1.-THE Schoolroom. He
gave suggestions on surroundings, how
to harm )nize the interior dec )rauion
and what pictures to select, from the
thoughts to be brought out in them.
The Schoolroom is work shop.
Keep it so that the work you desire TO
do may be done best. When you deco
rate-dont overdo. He gave reasons
for the use of wall paper in school,
rooms. Never use red, purple, or dull
tinted papers. They are harmful to
the eyes, and not good colors for a
schoolroom.
Have library. Have it decorate
as we'll as hold books. Don't decorate
with specimens Of work. but have
bulletin board where you can fasten all
work for display purposes.
Get the parents and patrons inter
ested. Let them know that you are
interested ia their children, keep at
the head OF social work and you will
find that parents and friends will
stand ready to adopt your suggestions
and assist you.
He also told OF how the beauty Of
Surroundings brought out the moral
side, and how. the teacher could do
much TO bring out the good Grimm
ais are often bright men intellectually
but cold. Their minds have not been
trained to bring out the softening in
huenceS OF good picture.
The meeting closed with roll call
and the teachers visited the various
city schools this afternoon.

Rural Schoolhouses.

Piof. Orville 7. Bright, of Chicago,
superintendent Of schools Of Cook
county, ILL.,. gave an illustrated lecture
on Rural Schools as They Are and as
They Should Be-" The lecture was a
forceful presentation of the neglected
condition OF a maj ,rity OF the rural
schoolhouseS and grounds Ia this and
other states. Pictures Of scores OF
rural schoolhouses were thrown upon
the canvass, and 1T was rare cxcep.
tion when one was seen with any shade
trees on the grounds.
The lecture called attention in the
most effective manner OF the crying
need in the rural schools for better &C.
combinations and better facilities fol

ed the multiplication table to give in
struction lin arithmetic as to expect a
teacher to instruct others in nature
study who had not herself had thorough
training in this line.
These schools should be able TO turn
| out class of teachers who would be
able to show country children the
beauties with which they are surround
ed, and thus enable them to grow in
sympathy more and more with country
life. One such training school in a
county with two-year course should
ordinarily have enrolled fifty students,
twenty-five of whom would graduate
each year. Fifty such schools would
turn out over twelve hundred trained
, teachers annually for our rural schools.
This is large number but it is doubtful
whether it would supply the demand
$500 from the state in addition to the
part borne by the city would seem to be
an adequate sum necessary for carrying
on the work of each school,
Even if fifty schools were established
the expense to the state would not be
greater than that now required to
carry on first-class normal school. If
our country schools are to do the work
which will be demanded of them in the
future, some such plan must be adopted.
The time is fast approaching when the
country boy and country girl will de-
mand just as good instruction as that
given to the city cousins. If the state
can afford to establish normal schools
to prepare teachers for our city schools,
so can it afford to at least assist in estab-
fishing training schools for rural teach
ers. 1t is right which belongs to the
rural communities and they should no
longer delay in making their needs
known, and in appealing for the help
which this state has so generously given
to other educational enterprises.
There is bill before our legislature
authorizing the establishment of a
country training school somewhat along
the lines indicated in this paper. 1t
should receive the support of every
farmers organization, and every sup
porter of our rural schools.
In the past too many Of our young
people have left the farm at the first
opportunity because higher life could
be found in villages and cities. Many
farmers have abandoned their homes
and sought residence in the city because
of better school facilities. With better
trained teachers our country schools
would render as high degree of use
fulness as our city schools, and would
tend, more than any other one thing,
to bring to our rural communities those
educational advantages which in the
past have been the most serious objec-
ton to country life.
