Enjoyable Camp Fire Held
On Tuesday Evening
Supt. COughlin Gives An
Address On Reading
{. 6. Harris Elected Secretary
OF Reading Circle
Tuesday Afternoon

The first address OF the afternoon
was given by Supt. Coughlin, his subject
being" Methods in Learning to Read +"
He discussed the various methods in
use at the present time in teaching
reading-the word method, the SEN
tence method and the phonetic meth
cd. He said that method that does
not lead to self-helpfuIness is not of
much value. For this reason the word
method is not good one as the the
child will have to be told every new
word that occurs in a lesson BY the
phonetic method a child is taught to
sound and thereby pronounce words for
himself. In learning reading children
should not only be able to pronounce
words, but they must also be helped
to understand the meaning as well so
that it may become a part of their vo-
cabulary
He spoke of the Word method of
teaching reading as being very good
one. This is the system used in the
Mt. Vernon Schools. After an inter
mission DR.. Hulley gave readings from
Robert Burns, his subject being"Rob,
ert Burns and His Humanity" This
was thoroughly enjoyed by all there be-
ing a number of citizens present to
hear it

had taken on heavy shipment of

country not to be put into circulation,
but to be sold as junk. The bronze
and copper coins of Korea are not
worth much. They are like the
Chinese coins that are made into
swords that you can buy for half

OF Korea some time ago she decided
that she would get rid of the cumber-

Wednesday Morning.
On Wednesday morning DR.. Hulley
had charge of the devotional exer.
cises, reading the Scripture lesson and
Offering prayer. After this Mrs
Baker sang solo. DR.. Hulley then
gave the first of a series of talks on
history, his subject being "The For
nation of the Constitution of the
United States"
He told in a very interesting way
of the condition of the thirteen colo.
MES at the close of the Revolution
The country was really in a state of
anarchy. The states were quarreling
over land, boundaries and tariff.
There were financial difficulties and
religious differences. Some of the
states were almost ready to go to war
In order to settle some of these dis
putes. The thirteen articles of con-
federation, by which the states were
bound together were weak from the
fact that they provided no way by
which laws might be interpreted. A
strong form of government must have
three arms, the legislative, or law
making; the executive, or law enforc-
ing; the judiciary, or law-interpreting.
DR., Hulley told of the assembling of
the 55 delegates at Philadelphia in
May, 1887, for the purpose of making
a constitution 1t being time, for him
to close his address, he said that he
would make the constitution" at an

Supt. Coughlin's address was a con-
tinuation OF his talks on reading, the
subject being Interpretation of Lit
erary Selections" He read several
selections, showing as he read, how
it is necessary to teach and help pu-
pills to interpret selections that they
are studying.

MARCH EVEN BETTER
THAN MONTH BEFORE.
Preliminary GOldfieId Con. Re-
port Shows Fine Increase in
Net Earnings.

General Superintendent Thorn has SUBJ
mitted his preliminary report for the
Goldfeld Consolidated company's March
operations, In which the gross value OF
the tonnage treated was Si,d4o.000. the
net earnings being estimated at 1926. 900.
The ore averaged $40 per ton against
S4l l3 in February. The February gross
value OF the ore was 1913. and net,
s7l9.3
The February tonnage treated was o.,
615. and that OF March, 26,Sl4 March.
therefore, promises TO result splendidly
for the company. II will he the third
time in the history OF the mine that
monthly gross value OF ore exceeded
$1,000. 900 In March, 1903. the gross value
was Sl,0Sl.S72. and 81 ,095,Sl5 for October,
1910.
The present dividend rate OF the COM
pany per quarter Is 80 cents n share or
81 annually. This calls for net profits OF
at least S93.06l per month, so the com
Dany Is earning well above dividend re-
quircments. There recently was some
doubt OF the ability of the company TO
continue such a big dividend rate for the
3,55S.S67 issued shares but February and
March have been so satisfactory that
shareholders have reason to believe the
regular rate will be maintained indcfl
nitcy.

tending the other drifts level by level
TO the point perpcndcularly above the 800

This means that there Is q great block

cal Nevada Douglas ore. which will prove

Manager Ovem agrees with Arcntz on
this proposition and the task Of putting

the coming summer months which will
bring this Salt Lake proposition far in
