READING BY TAEPUP|LS
OF F|RST-CRADE SCHOOL
Methods of Teaching Illus.
trated Under Direction of
Miss Elizabeth v. Brown.

Different methods of teaching reading
to the children of the first grade are
shown in the collection of readers and
primers which has just been put on ex-
hibition in the teachers library at the
Miss Elizabeth V. Brown, director of pri
mary instruction of the District public
schools. The exhibit will remain open for
month.
Teachers of the first grade are expected
to visit the exhibit and acquaint them
selves with the various reading books or
the first grade. Only small portion of
the books exhibited are in use in the
schools of this city, but rather represent
the books used throughout the United
States and even in the Philippines. While
the majority OF the books are literary
and dramatic readers, few of them are
devoted to simple number work and cas-!
counting, such as is comprehensive to
children of the first-grade age.
Fables and Fairy Stories.
Nursery rhymes fables, fairy stories,
folklore tales and nature stories, with
many of which the children are already
familiar, are featured in several of the
books In some of them the reading Is in
the regular form, while in others it takes
the form of a little play in which the diff
ferent parts may be read by different
boys and girls.
or the hundreds of persons who yearly
visit the schools OF this city, nearly all
are impressed with the rapidity with
which the children here learn to read In
the first grade. Children, who before
they are brought to the first grade can
not read a line, read five or six
books before they get through the first
wear in the District public schools. This
is considered something Of a feat for
children so young, and many inquiries
have been made of the officials here from
officials in other cities as to how children
are taught to read in Washington schools.

that a city should look after its greater
interests and exercise a direct super
vision over the planting and care of its
trees. State after state has fallen into

They have one stove to cook on
and one electric light. They are
charged $500 month for the
bunk. 81 90 for light and Sl.OO

$40 a month for the shack. the

A QUEER DISORDER
AFFECTS MANY TREES
Eagle and WaSh0e Valley Report
a Damage to the Orchards

are either dead or are in shriv-
eled condition.
At the Ross Levers orchard,
which is considered on of the best
i'm Nevada and an orchard that
has been kept up for profit and
culture, many of the trees have
been killed. Mr.. Levers believes
that the very unusual cold of last
winter with little sOnw on the
ground is the cause 1t is his
idea that the sap in the trees was
frozen. That when it came up
the leaves started but as the sea
son came in the injured sap in
the trees was not of nutritious
condition and the death of the
shrub or tree has followed.
Some trees We're better pro-
tencted, or did not become affect
ed by the cold and thus escaped.
Mr.. Levers may have the right,
idea on this subject but the fact
remains that the trees in the pri-
vate orchards in this city that
We're the healthiest are now IN
such condition that they will
have to be taken out.

LIVE SECTION
At SHELTER

Sheriff Dick Randall came in
this morning from Dayton, where
for the past few days he has been
busy at his farm. He states that
a big first crop of alfalfa is being
cut in that section along the riv-

He stated that word came in
this morning from the smelter
section that another stabbing af-
fair had taken place and that IA
young man named Swasev was
the victim. How serious the in
jurieS are he could not state.
Dick is of the opinion that the
whisky sold ont that way needs
an inspection. He fears that it
does not come under the pure
food laws and is Of fighting va
riety.
The smclter and the mines that
are furnishing the ore make a
very lively section throughout the
valley.
A new grand jury will be call
ed shortly when number of Grim
inal eases will be heard. Be
tween court matters and assess
ing Dick is kept on the jump.
