VALLEY TEACHERS MEET
With Parents in Thatcher
and Propose Uniform
Course of Study

The ella Valley Parent and Teach
er's Association held its regular
meeting in Thatcher last Saturday
in the Academy building, and was
we'll attended by both teachers and
parents.
The morning session was opened
by the President, Miss Viola Free
land, at l0:15. After a delightful
rendering of Luna" by the Thatch-
er quartet, short business session
was held. Several announcements
were made and the report of the
committees on course of study and
examinations was postponed till the
afternoon session. The quartet then
sang Arizona" which seems to be
history of pedagogs in the making.
Prof. Peterson opened the discus
sion on The Value of Home Study"
with talk that was very instruc-
tive. Many others spoke on the
same subject, though all seemed
agreed as to its value. The follow
ing points were developed by the
various speakers:
/. Very few pupils pass through
high school and college, hence the
need for the formation of correct
habits of study in the grammar
school, =,
2. Teaching is the activity of the
teacher combined with the activity
of the pupil.
3. The object of the teacher
should be to render himself or her.
self useless to the pupil.
4. Information derived from the
teacher is of less impoi tance than
the creation of a desire for self i'm
provement.
5. Home study is generally un-
successful because it is Unassigned
by the teacher, either insufficient
pre-view work or too much work
done by the teacher, or lack of as.
sistance and encouragement on the
part of the parent.
6. Teachers should give intelli-
gent pre-view of all work assigned
for hone study. ~.
z. 1t is the duty of parents to
provide suitable conditions for home
study, remove all influences that
have tendency to occupy attention
of child. Intensity is ESSENTIAL to
success.
s. Inactivity of home-pampered
child tends to dull the intellectual
faculties.
9. Home study should begin in
from the fourth to the sixth year Of
school, according to the home en-
vironment, and should be assigned
with careful consideration for the
capacity of the child. Teachers
should thoroughly acquaint them
selves with the home conditions of
each pupil.
10. System in home study should
be insisted on.
II. Children should be made to
assume their share of home response
bilities.
This discussion easily led itself
into the next subject on the pro-
gram, the Importance of Home
Reading" This was thrown open
to general discussion and many opin-
ions were expressed, some taking
the view that all books were bene-
fetal, while others insisted that only
certain books should be read. AS
the latter were very much in the
majority, both as to numbers and
arguments, the discussion gradually
shifted to the means for obtaining
proper reading in the homes, and
the responsibility of the parent.
The principal points touched on were
rs follows:
l. Books are as influential in
making our lives as associates.
2. The duty of every home to
furnish as manyseood books as pos
sibe for the benefit of the children.
3. Books should be selected to

tences not containing technical con
structions: and to readily recognize
and correct errors in written and

Geography-Eighth grade pupils

ply and complete the book. They
should be able to pass test involving
causes and conditions of climate, oc-
cupations and products of any coun-
try as affected by location and phys

that each country be taught by the
following outline:
l. Location and relative size.
2. Surface features.
3. Climate.
A. Occupations and products.
5. Peoples.
6. Cities.
7. Government and social organi-
zation.
s. Miscellany.
1t is further suggested that the
following books be used as supple
mentary readers:
Carpenters Geographical Reader
of Europe, South America, Asia,
Africa and Australia.
Herbertson's Europe, Australia
and Oceanica, and Herbertson's De-
scriptive Geography of Asia and
Africa.
Spelling Words should be Sc
lected from regular work, taking
those that are used the most and
are most important.
Reading Teachers should give
such selections from Progressive
Course of Reading, Book V, as they
prefer, and then use supplementary
readers. A copy of the suggestive
course as adopted for the seventh
grade may be had by making appli-
cation to the secretary of the asso-
citation.
In the special session of the eighth
grade teachers, it was decided not
to have uniform examinations for
the seventh and eighth grades, at
least for this year, as formerly con-
templated. There were several rea-
sons for this decision and they were
all warmly contested, as the various
teachers held very diverse views.
The two most important reasons fer
the abandonment of the plan were
the lack of uniformity on the grade
work of the different schools and
the irregularity in the length Of
school terms. They were unani-
nous, however, in their approval of
uniform examinations.
After the report of this session
and the report of the above COM
mittee on the Course of Study, Mrs.
principal of the Pima
Schools, extended an invitation to
the Association for the next meet
ing to be held in Pima, which was
accepted.
A motion was put and carried to
extend a vote of thanks to the peo-
pie of Thatcher for their kind hos
pitality, with which all were re-
,eived. The session then adjourned
till a meeting should be held in
Pima at a date to be later an
bounced.

dunn upland, the yield, as a rule, is
far below the average, for one or
more OF the following reasons:
1. The soil is left dry by the large
amount Of moisture utilized by the
fully-grown plants of the small
grains, which have thrown off into
the air. through the leaves, large
amounts OF moisture derived from
the soil; copious rains just before or
Immediately after harvest may re-
move this unfavorable condition.
2. The usual dryness Of the land
after oat harvest and the necessity
at this season Of utilizing most of
the teams in the cultivation of other
crops usually prevent as thorough
and deep preparation of the stubble
land as is desirable for corn.
3. Corn planted late is generally
more severely injured by smut and
by 'tassel worms" though it is true
that the late corn escapes damage
from the weevils and from bnd
worms
Only on rich moist soils is corn
as rule. the best crop to follow
oats.
Looking to soil improvement, the
best plant to follow oats is, of course
one OF the legumes. Here, then. we
must usually make a choice between
cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, velvet
beans, and beggar weed.
Most cotton growers will eliminate
the latter as likely to re-seed and to

THE CHOICE OF CROPS TO FOLLOW OATS
Leguminous Crop is Though Sorghum MAY BE Grown

Best Crops-Good Crops at Small Expense.

.HE DRY weather that prevailed
in MANY localities fhronuhnnt q

"HE DRY weather that prevailed
in many localities throughout a
large part of April and May
has greatly injured the oat crop. On
the other hand, the abundant rains
OF the spring and early summer of
1909 resulted, in many cases, in the
partial loss of what had promised to
be a remarkably fine crop Of oats.
Even two such experiences as these
should not discourage the sowing
next fall of large acreage of oats.
One of the strongest arguments
for the more extensive cultivation of
the small grains in the South lies in
the fact that they can all be follow
ed by some other crop in the same
yea;
What is the best crop to follow
oats, is a question that cannot be
answered in one word, but one which
should be carefully considered. First.
or all, this second crop should be
one that enriches, rather than robs
the soil. This aim would exclude
sorghum, though sorghum may well
follow oats on tract of land near
the barn where annual applications
or stable manure are customary, and
where this excellent crop for soiling
can be grown near the lots in which
it. will largely be fed.
Corn should not, as a rule, be
planted on poor or medium uplands
in the same season in which tb;a
tract OF land has borne a crop of
oats. This exclusion of our greatest
cereal is not SO much for the benefit
or the land as for the good of the
corn crop. When corn is planted
after small grain on poor and me-
