No Further Testimony IN BallInger-

Washington, May 21.-The inyesti-
CATION of the Ballinger-Pinchot con
troversy was brought to a close so far
as the introduction of oral testimony
is concerned and the case was set Tor
argument next Friday and Saturday.
Within fifteen days after the argument
counsel will submit brief and the CON-
mittee will then begin consideration
of the evidence looking to a final de-
cision.
There is, no indication as to when a
verdict in the case may be expected,
but it is generally assumed that the
committee will spend several weeks
on the record before reaching a de
cision and it is intimated that the
committee may not be ready to report
until the next session of congress. The
record comprises over 5000 printed
pages. :.

or insane Rage.
John Mcclure, farmer of Hegbert,
sixteen miles from Appleton, muir
dered Miss Goldie Gale, a school
teacher, by shooting her with a shot
gun. Later he hanged himself.
Mcclure, who was much cider than

supposed to have been the cause of
the double crime.
When MCGUIRE went amuck Miss
Gale fed from the house, fearing for
her life Mcguire pursued her into
the road and shot her down. Then,

should always be constructive. Any
one can criticise destructively. 1t re-
quires tact and skill to criticise a
poor response in such a manner that
the learner will be inspired to try
again. Criticism which makes a pu-
pill want to try again is construc-
tive"
One teacher had asked a compost
tion from each one in her class; and
one little boy handed in one written
in a careless manner: the paper,
grimy and the rules for themes, for
gotten. The teacher called him up to
her desk and smiling kindly all the
time, picked out the flaws and started
him over. She asked him what his
title was; = he told her and she re-
marked sincerely, "why that's a good
title, but you see, you forgot to put
it up here at the top and so I didn't
know" And so she went on, until
finally when she asked him to do it
over, he did it willingly.
9. Repeat; Drill. "Keep con-
ditions favorable until qualities are
acquired. Drill and repeat until l1a-
bits are fixed. This requires great
energy and persistence. Drills should
be as carefully planned as any other
part of the school work. They should
never be long continued. They should
always be brisk. -
10. Make use of the unexpected.
"Use to advantage the unexpected
response. This requires wit and hu-
NOR and constant study of human nat
ure, but the teacher who can use the
unexpected to advantage will never
fail in discipline" "
The story was told of a teacher

One little lad wildly waved his hand
and when called upon said, vehement
ly. "Gee, but it's hot!" The answer
was startling but she laughed genu-
inely with the rest for a moment,
then calling the class to order, critic
ised it constructively. L"
In closing he advised teachers to
make the rules their own, if they in
tended using them, to have them in
their heads and to make them the ba-
sis of their teaching. Then they

Minnesota in order beginning in the
| Northwestern corner. The pupils
were struggling bravely to learn the
meaningless names of the 85 counties.
When asked what was her purpose
she said why-when l was little
girl my teacher made US do that. -
That purpose was not in accordance
with the aim of Education: To make
boys and girls more useful. noble
and happy.
2. Work only for responses con-
sistent with the age or development
of the pupil.
Development cannot be forced.
At sixteen, a child will understand
easily what would be impossible for
him to comprehend at the age of ten.
Problems in arithmetic and grammar
are frequently too difficult for children
who would be able to solve them
easily two or three years later".
3. Don't be too easy.
"Every response should involve
thought and effort. 1t is easy to be
too easy. Half the questions asked
in many schools can be answered with
out any thot or effort. Children
really like to put for some effort. es
pecially when they see the use or beau
ty of the work they are required to
do". In school one day they were
talking of English Parliament. The
teacher remarked, "There are two
houses, the House of Lords and the
House of Commons. Which is the
upper bouse? little girl got up and
answered "The House of Lords'.
That was all right but the teacher
next asked, "Johnnie, which is the
lower house," The boy arose, said
indifferently, "The House of Pom
mons" and skunk back into his seat.
without any interest, the answer hav
ing required no thot what ever.
4. Inspire the pupil to make e
response.
''Things worth while are seldom
ACCOMPLISHED without inspiration.
When a person wants to do thing,
he does it in a manner that leaves a
deep impression in his nervous sys-
tenn. In the assignment of lessons
a teacher has a good opportunity to
rouse interest and make the pupils
feel that the work proposed is worth
while. That assignment is best
which appeals to the largest number

Consolidation Desirable

Then on the other hand he gave the
conditions coming with the consolida-
ted school which make it so desirable.
Among these are the larger and
better corps of teachers possible, the
larger number Of pupils giving the
school the needed competition, the bet
ter attendance made possible by the
vans coming for the children in rain
or shine. winter or summer. eliminat-
ing almost all excuses for absences
excepting sickness.
With the better teachers. more
pupils and better facilities of the
consolidated school it is possible to
give more advanced subjects. At
present the older pupils often become
discouraged with the little learning
they can gain from the one room
school and off they go away from the
farm. away from home to the cities
to get the advanced education and
experience which the consolidaed
school could and would give them at
home.
The idea is no longer a mere ex-
pertinent Eighty five per cent of
the schools in Indiana are consolidated
which shows that the plan must be a
success when tried.
After a few questions concerning
the plan, the discussion was closed.
At this time several had to leave to
catch the trains. A little intermission
was given then. at which time every
one stood to rest and sang "Minne-
sofa" and "America.
The next subject "Ten Rules for
the Teacher at Work. was given by
Professor Quigley of the University
of Minnesota, whom manv teachers
have learned to know and be anxious
to hear. After his talk he distribut-
ed few leaflets having upon them
the ten rules, which are given below
and to which we have added few Of
the many fitting illustrations he gave.

commended and Agricul-
tural Education Given a
Boost.

The Educational meeting held here
last Friday and Saturday was very
we'll attended, especially on the first
day. The hall at the Agricultural
school. in which the meetings were
held was crowded Friday afternoon
with trustees and teachers. There
was also a good sized and Interested
crowd for Saturdays sessions.
The meeting Friday evening at the
armory was not as we'll attended as
had been hoped or as we'll as the pro-
gram for the evening warranted.
On Ftiday afternoon, State Super
intendent C. G. Schultz, Of St. Paul.
spoke upon the troublesome compui-
sorry law of 1909. The law was very
we'll explained and many of the ques-
tions concerning it in the minds of
trustees and teachers, were undoubt-

many and we'll directed questions.

and somewhat exciting at times.
Among Mr.. Schultz's suggestions as
to ways the district boards could carry

A suggestion he gave which would
bring the desired interest and make
each pupil feel that something de-
finite was expected of him is that the
teacher might give special topics.
5. Give directions before, not
after, the response.
"When pupil wants to. do a
thing but before he has done it is the
psychological moment for direction.
Too much direction comes after the
pupils response has been made.
This is especially true in oral read
ing"
6. Let tn pupil make the response.

which ought to be left their pupils.

interest in their school if they are
induced to do more. Habits and quail

Did 1t All Herself
The story was told of teacher who
was winning the approval of all for
her progress in the new lines of work.
She was going to teach the pupils
something about the soils and cultiva-
tion. This is the way she went
about it! She needed box and got
it herslef, needed earth, went out and
prepared it herself, wanted seeds
wrote for them herself, then planted
the seeds when they came. The next
morning when the children came and
their curiosity was aroused by the box
in the window, she cried out. "Oh
children, don't touch that! go right
away. l have some seeds planted
there In every step of the prepar-
tion she had lost an opportunity to
get the interest and sympathy of her
pupils.
7. Know the correct response your
self.
'FThe teacher must know the cor
rect response. knowledge of the
right thing can not be gained entirely
from books. Many teachers need
more knowledge from books and all
need more knowledge of life in order
that they may recognize what is right
in their pupils. :"

Then too, he had found it advisable
for the board to give one OF their
number the authority TO act for them
upon immediate questions, between
regular meetings.

many heated discussions during the
last year and there were many who
were surely glad to hear some of the
obscure points cleared up.
Spelling Contest.
Mr.. Higbee, of the Agricultural
school, gave some interesting announ-
cements after the discussion, among
which was one concerning a spelling
contest, he and the County Superin-
tendent Roberts are planning for next
March. The spelling books that are
to be used contain practical every
day words. The plan that the dis
tricts shall carry on local spelling
matches, using. those books which
may be obtained from Mr.. Roberts,
and tEen send their winners down to
the Agricultural School in March to
try for the county championship and
the substantial prizes that will be
offered.
The next number was to have been
given b. Professor A. W. Rankin of
the College of Education. In his
absence the subject Consolidation OF
Rural Schools" was ably treated by
Mr.. Ingalls,, teacher in the Agricul-
tural School. Tho unprepared be-
cause of lack of time to give facts
and figures about the plan. he gave
some very convincing arguments for
the consolidation of rural schools that
brot its many merits home to every
one.
He gave many conditions of the
present one room rural school, which
are crying out for consolidation.
They may be given BRIEFLY here; there
are not as long terms as there should
be, the long walks to school, few
