QUESTIONS AND ANSW Frs


/. Is teaching a science or an
art3 Why? What is the end to
be attained in tcachingi
Ans wer. Teaching is II
art, l think. If a per-
son hasn't talent-a real liking
for the work, he will never make n
good teacher, The object to be
attained in teaching is to have the
pupil learn and remember what
will be of the most practical use
to him in the future, to fit him in
tcllectually and morally--to a Ger.
tain cXtent-tO make a good citizen.

immediate answers. In arithmetic
give problems aud see how quickly
they can be solved.
3 How much oral instruction
should the teacher give the classl
How much to the individual pu-
pill! How much book study should
be requiredi
Answer. The teac h e +
should give enough oral
instruction to the class to explain
points they do not understand and
to interest them in the lesson and
impress it upon the mind.
If it is hard for a pupil to keep
up with the class the teacher
should help him, Or whenever nee
essary. But it should not be dur
ing school hours when it can be
avoided. The school should not
be neglected for one pupil.
What is given in the book
should be learned in each lesson,
but not necessarily all remembered.
The main facts should be impress
ed upon the mind. Outline work
is often helpful in this.
4. Should the teacher be a fluent
talker? Whyi Is there any dan
ger herei
Answer. 4 he teac e r
should be fluent talker.
II he is not, aud has not ready
words at his command 10 explain
points, but has to stop aud think
in order to find words, and then
perhaps stumhles with them, the
pupils lose interest, aud besides
lose confidence in their teucher's
knowledge and ability.
There is danger in talking too
much. That is almost as bad as

the other extreme.

5. OF what practical value is a
formal course of study in the rural
SCHOOL, In the village or town
school?
Answer. By taking a for
NAL course of study the pupil is
not so apt to neglect one study for
another; the same is true of either
town or rural school; but it is cas-
Ter to take the formal course in
town than in country. 1t guides
the pupil in Il regular advance
ment through the grades and pre-
pares him for entering high school
and college.
q. How many grades or years
work included in the Rural Course
of Study for Missouri How many
classcsf What suggestion is made
in order to diminish the number
of daily recitationsH
Ans. Eight grades or years in
course of study.
Four classcs-A, b, G and d.
In order to diminish the number
OF classes use alteration.
I. Give reasons why rural teach
ers should or should not attempt
to use Il course of study. What
suggestion does the State course
make concerning high school
worki
a wer, BY using Il
course of study it is
much easier for the teacher to ar
range her program to the best adj
vantage for all the pupils and at
the same time do justice 10 them
all. Sometimes pupils do not wish
to take all the studies, but with
few exceptions it is better that
they should.
The State course of study sug.
gests that schools provide for a .
years course in high school, alter
mating one years work with the
other.
s, What records should be kept
by the teacherl WhyH Have the
records of previous teaching been
helpful to you in organizing your
SCHOOL, Why'
Ans The teacher should keep a
record of the work done by each
pupil: that is, his grades and
whether he is competent to begin
the next years work, also of daily
attendance.
Have never taught so cannot
speak from experience, but should
think it the records were correctly
and properly kept they would be
very helpful.
Because it saves much time in
putting pupils in right classes, and
prevents many mistakes.

Failure.

Clinton, Mo-. June 2s.-None
Of the owners Of the Salmon & Sal

ported TO he yet so FRUSTRATED that

liner, declares that depOsitors will
get fifty cents on the dollar, but
no one else seems TO think it will
be so much.
BANKERS TRANSFERRED PROPERTY.
The bank failed June 90. The
records of the county show that
G.. y. Salmon transferred TO Il.
j.. Owens, attorney for the bank,
ninety.one acres of land and a
bird interest in fifty-nine acres
more June 10. lie also transferred
to Thomas w. Crouch, of st.
Louis Gj3 acres of land in this
county for consideration of $3l,
COO. Crouch is member of the
firm, Crouch & Bailey, mule deal
ers. Bailey is the manager of the
firm and he married June I the
daughter of Harvey w. Salmon.
June 20 Thomas NJ. Casey trans
fered to his sister, Mrs. Ella Barker,
for s. 900, n lot in Clinton. June
- John r. Barker, husband of
Ella Barker, transferred to Sam
mel c. Davis of st. Louis 10
acres in this county for $3G, 600.
Barker was heavy indorser on
the part of Casey and the Sulmons.
BANKERS WON'T TALK.
These transfers lead the people
to believe it was an effort of the
bankers to put their property be-
yond the reach of depositors when
the bank should fail. Others say
it was done to secure creditors. AS
the bankers themselves refuse to
talk about it, the real object can
only be guessed at and one mans
guess is good as another. Even
the attorneys for the bank refuse
TO talk. The only real estate now
left for the depositors is worth
$40, 600, and it has all been turned
over by the Salmon brothers for
the depositors.
BEGGED FOR MORE TINE.
c. NJ. Cook, state bank exam
liner, declares that the bank was
insolvent two years before it failed
aud that it ought to haye closed
long ago. When the bankers got
word that be was coming to exam.

The Indian potlatch was held

The potlatch was opened with prayer
