The teachers meeting at Stonington
last Saturday was not as well attended
as it would have been were it not for
illness, Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson failed
to attend. Mrs. Anderson was to read
IA paper on "School Virtues and How
to Promote Them" She prepared a
fine paper and mailed it to the presi-
dent, Miss Marsh, but it was not re-
ceived until after the meeting. This
paper is worth reading, and will be
sent to teachers to be read. In the af-
ternoon various topics were interest
isgly discussed, and some excellent
papers were read. Two papers will be
published here. They are worth read
ing for anyone. This week, Miss Nab
ell Boettger's paper on How to Main
tain Interest During the Spring
Months will be published, or part of it.
1t is opportune. Later we hope to
publish an excellent paper read by
Miss Littlepage.
MISS BOETTGER'S PAPER
How to Maintain Interest During the
Spring Months.
Aside from the mud that has to be
swept out by the country school teach
er, the spring months need have no
terrors of waning interest on the part
of the pupils.
A teacher must be ready with a
supply of suggestions for games for
the rainy days and many of them may
center around the school work. Ring
Toss and games with the bean bag are
excellent for number work and later
the language may be based on the same
games. The sand table, too, should be
brought into use during the stormy
days but forbidden when the weather
is so that the children may play out of
doors.
Much of the regular work can be
based on their observations made in
coming to and going from school. AT
all seasons, the field work is enjoyable
and instructive, but during the spring
months it offers larger possibilities
than at any other time.
Observations of the work of the
wind and rain, make excellent intro
ductory lessons for the study of home
geography. The tiny rivulets that
may be seen after rain cutting their
way through the soil to join the larger
ones which in turn find their way into
more swiftly flowing channels, bring
within the child's understanding the
formation of the basins of the large
rivers, and illustrate the differences in
the various river valleys.

Contents of new Tract to be
Thrown Open to the
Public

Denver, March 31-Fifty town
y ships, containing /, 125, 600 acres
Of land, most of it desirable for
z gricultural purposes, will be
thrown open to entry within the
next few weeks in Baca county,
in the southeastern corner of
Colorado. A large influx of set
tiers is anticipated for this dis
.trict, portions of which have
been cultivated successfully for
several years.
A resurvey of the land includ-
ed in this district has been COM
pleted for the government, and
the notes have been turned over
to the surveyor generals office
in this city. R. E. Pratt, w. H.
Clark and Arthur Kidder, who
have performed the major por-
ton of the resurvey under con-
tract, are experienced in the
work, having performed numer-
Gus similar surveys in the state
under contract from the govern
ment, and all have been accept
ed.
Upon the approval of the work
of the surveyors, the land will be
thrown open to settlement, and
it is considered by the surveyors
who have completed the work
that settlers will be permitted to
go in this year. The land was
withdrawn in 1903, because the
government had reason to doubt
the accuracy of the surveys.
The work in Baca county con-
stitutes the major portion of the
work of resurveying done by the
government in Colorado during
the last year. The next import
ant seat of resurveying opera
tions will be near Delta, on the
Western slope where it is ex-
pected work will begin with in a
year. Lamar News
