Department of Grammar Schools.

The Hall of Representatives was
well filled by the department of
Grammar schools. Prescott Keyes Of
Westbrook presided.
Rational Mathematics Teaching in
the Grammar School was discussed
by Supt. H. A Brown of Colebrook
n H. The speaker said that the first
step in presenting any topic is by
skilful questioning to draw out of the
class all facts, which they already
know, which have any possible bear
ing on the subject; second, to give the
class a clear, brief, concise and def
mite explation of the new principle,
drawing as many facts as possible
from the class; the third step is the
solving by the pupil of a large num-
Der of examples coming under the
topic under consideration. Before the
topic is left for good there should be
good thorough test on it. Supt.
Brown advocated the teaching of al
zebra in the eighth grade and the
elimination of everything which is not
broadly universal in its application

REVENUE LAWS
AND GOV. ODDIE
Pulled out the
Wrong Badger

Some Elko jokers got hold OF al
eastern tenderfoot few days age
and worked the old badger game on
him that enlivened the situation
here when the Legislature was IN
session.
The easterner who was supposed
to pull the rope and get laughed at
slipped live fighting badger into
the box and he made short work OF
one of the jokers dogs, The crowd
also got scarce al once.
This reminds one Of the time when
a joke was worked off at the Delta
saloon in Virginia City.
They had RAT and dog fight IL
front of the saloon and when the
box was opened to let out the rats
a live polecat in full operation hit
the ground and dispersed the crowd.
Over hundred men had to buy a
new suit OF clothes that night.

The Democrats some years ago es-

The last meeting that Governor
Dickerson attended he made a mo-

of $35.000 per mile and showed facts
and figures whereby they should pay
even higher rate. His motion did
not prevail and the road was assess

!, TO finance.
The Senate passed one bill. if it
is applied, and it should be, that
will bring in more revenue
/ than all the measures passed
in the last twenty years. This is
! Senator Bells Minimum Tax on
lands. Under this law every acre of
| land in Nevada must be taxed at not
| less than one dollar and twenty
| five cents per acre. The bill slipped
through by the careful mini
pulation OF Bell and some democratic
/ stalwarts. The governor signed it.
and he should be the first to comped
its adoption The railroads and big
land holders in Nevada have been
paying a rate of about Is cents per
acre. The enforcement Of this law
will mean the difference between Is
cent. and 81 per acre. AS some nine
million acres of land come under
this head the amount involved can be
noted by the republicans who are
revenue. This law was not suggested
by the governor nor from any mem

As for the Board of Assessors The
Governor as the Chairman can go as
far as he likes If he has the cour-
age OF his convictions all he has to
do is to go to the Railroad Commis-
sion and get the physical valuations
OF the railroads, then make a motion
before the Board of Assessors re-
lative to 4 horizontal raise of taxa
ton. He will either put the mem
bers Of the Board on record or get
there himself This law IS good and
