COUNTY
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

/ An interesting session OF the Gloucester
County Public School Teachers Association
was held in the Court House last Saturday,
the instructors being Prof. Albert, Of the
Bloomsbury, Pa Normal School and Prin-
cipal swingee, Of the Orange Public Schools
Education said Prof. Albert, is
living into better things. Language is
the most poorly taught subject in the
curriculum. No subject properly taught
develops language power as does geography.
Socrates says Telling is not teaching. !"
The only proper way TO teach is by ones
tions.
The speaker then proceeded to develop
his subjecs geography by explaining his
method Of presenting it to his classes, and
he gave most interesting as we'll as profit
able half hour to its elucidation.
Superindent Swingee, who is President
of the State Teachers Association, urged
the teachers to join thai body. Nearly all
the teachers OF this county, he said, were
now members but he hoped before this
year was out to have all enrolled The
National Teachers Association he said, met
at Asbury Park from July to y, and
teachers would find it profitable to attend
its sessions.
He then entered upon the discussion Of
his topic Waste in Education, Poor
teaching, 2 he said, was the most prolific
source of waste in the school room. Z
Every teacher should take course Of
professional training Not every person
who takes course of professional training
is good teacher, but the naturally good
teacher becomes an excellent teacher by
such training. Teachers talk too much in
the school room. Often teachers who talk
the least are doing the best work.
BY training the child how to study you
will eliminate great waste. Children
should be taught to see things quickly and
accurately. Not the number of examples a
chaa can eFe s ~ -yidenae Of q good
mathematician 1T is foolish, he said, TO
teach technical grammar in the lower
grades, for thereby the children are robbed
of the power of expression.
He attacked the methods which require
the best portion Of mans life to learn a
profession and get into business On an
average, he said, man is 80 years old
before he can become self-supporting in a
profession.
| University Professor recently told him
that he could take healthy boy Of IA
years, who could read and write, and pre-
pare him for College in four years.
We need healthy teachers, and he said
the time would come when physical ex-
animation would be repaired. Itis so now
in New York, where the physical examina-
tion comes first, and if the applicant fails
1 in that no matter how well prepared in
other ways, they are rejected. In closing
the speaker summed up his talk BY assert
/ ing that better teachers and better metl
ods would solve the problem Of Waste in
Education.

TO the Eastern farmer the report that
Iowa corn has been selling for S11 for a
single ear will doubtless sound like tale
from agricultural fairyland. But it is
true.

Of Agriculture the prize winners were sold
at auction Eleven dollars was the price
paid for the first prize winner. while a
collection Of one hundred ears was sold for

BABES IN ToYLAND.
Victor Herberts Greatest Musical hit Com
ing to the Chestnut street Opera House.

Opening Monday night, January Both, at
the Chestnut Street Opera House, Phila-
delphia, Babes in Toyland, y musical
extravaganza in three acts, the libretto by
Glen Mac Donough and the music by
Victor Herbert, is to be seen for the first
time in this city. A pleasing story is told,
one which has permitted stage manager
Julian Mitchell, and his associates to pre-
sent all kinds Of startling and beautiful
features. The plot centres around two
orphans, a boy and girl, who have a
miserly old uncle and guardian whose ef-
forts in the play are to get rid Of them, OBJ
tain possession of their money, and marry
young woman who does not care for him.
Alan and Jane are the nephew and niece,
while Contrary Mary is the girl who
does not want to be married to the old
Shylock because she really wants to marry
Alan Contrary Mary" in order to avoid
the unwelcome suitor runs away to 'tToy-
land 3 She is followed by Alan aud Jane
and all the rest of the characters, and there
most wonderful things are seen. Particular
stress is laid upon the music Of Babes in
Toyland all Of it being said to be in
Victor Herbert's best vein and much
superior 10 the usual run Of music found in
similar productions 4 large company is
concerned in the presentation Of the Babes
in Toyland The chorus is said to be one
Of the largest and most beautiful ever gotten
together, and they have been carefully
trained in songs, dances and marches by
Julian Mitchell.

Henry w Savage, the famous producer
Of ''Parsifal" in English, offers another
musical novelty at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia.
Woodland the latest Joint production
of Frank Pixley and Gustav Luders will
be the offering of Henry w. Savage at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, for
two weeks beginning Monday, January
Both. The idea was TO place two acts of a
comic opera in the forest with all the
characters birds, ana while that may have
appeared difficult task it seems to haye
been done. The theme has not been util-
ized before, and the pretty story Of the
loves and ambitions of the bird kingdom
furnishes quite sufficient link for con-
Meeting series Of delicious pictures
against a gorgeous background of forest
scenery. The charm OF the piece comes
mainly from the idyllic flavor that per-
meates the scenes, the lovely costumes and
the fairyland incidents All the characters
in Woodland" are supposed 10 represent
birds, and the scenes are laid in the heart
of forest. No human character appears
on the stage. Mr.. Luder's music has been
praised for its fidelity to the spirit of the
scenes, and also for its tuneful aud pleasing
qualities The chorus is large and all Of
them representing as they do, birds of
plumage, have been selected with respect
to daintiness and beauty.

CASUALTIES OF THE WEEK.
Trains Kill Three.

AaAkhS hNeAA hANS-
William Lafferty, brakeman on the
Atlantic City railraad, was fatally injured
at Clementon early Saturday morning.
He was run over by his own train,
so badly crushing both legs and one arm
that death ensued few hours later. The
unfortunate man was 80 years Of age, un-
married and resided with his folks at
Mullica Hill
1 Lafferty was one Of the crew of the
Mullica Hill freight which left Camden at
midnight with very heavy train. When
the accident happened the train was drill
ing.
There are two stories as to how the
accident occurred, only one Of which, how
ever, comes from an authoritative source
the company's officials They stated that
during the drill at CIementon, Lafferty,
who was standiag on one end OF coal car,
lost his balance aud fell to the tracks. The
wheels of two cars passed over his legs and
right arm. Lafferty was conscious despite
his terrible injuries and directed his COM
panions how to carry him without causing
very great pain 4 special train of an
engine and one car took the mangled man
to Camden. The patrol wagon met the
special at Broadway and Bulson streets,
and taking Lafferty aboard, conveyed him
to Cooper Hospital, reaching there about
$50 o'clock He still retained his senses
when taken into the hospital, but shortly
after being admitted lapsed into uncon-
sciousness, and died two hours later
Elsie the 8 year old daughter Thos.
Baylor, colored man residing at Green
st. was struck by the $50 train from
Philadelphia last evening, while walking
on the track about 100 feet north of the
North Woodbury. railroad station. She,
with woman and another little girl, were
walking on the up track and stepped on
the down track to get out of the way OF an
up train. Her companions stepped of
both tracks and were saved Coroner
Wilson will hold an inquest in day or
two
Early this morning section foreman Curry
found the body OF man along the tracks
about 15oft. n. Of Woodbury. creek bridge.
1t was at once brought to Budd's Morgue-
The man was evidently Pole, 50 years
old, sandy hair and small mustache. He
was well dressed, with new under clothing,
shoes, stockings, shirt and suspenders and
his outer clothing was good In his pock-
cts was one cent in cash, pen and bottle Of
ink, and letter from an employment
agency to Michael Urban, Mickleton.
The supposition is he was on his way to
Mickleton to deliver the letter.
