of Waymart, Canaan, South Canaan,
Prompton and Clinton was held in
the High school building at Way

opened by singing mount Vernon

upon the subject of Primary Read
ing"
Perceiving must precede pronounc-
ing. The child's eye must be able to
look ahead of what he is pronounc-
ing. Most children do not hear
enough reading. Reading is thinking
the thought of the page and also
feeling it. Hesitancy in reading
shows a mechanical pronunciation
of words. To the child, reading is
like translating foreign language.
The child's resources are Instincts
and Abilities. The child should be
able to express himself. They must

ing Primary reading, the alphabetic
alphabet first. The phonic method,
teaching the sounds of which the
words is composed. The phonetic
method, teaching use of diacritical
marks. The Word method, teaching
words at sight. The child is unable
to do much studying by himself,
therefore most of the child's studying
should be done in close with the
teacher.
Miss Gleason then gave a short
talk upon State College. She spoke
of the different courses of study of
the advantages derived from them
and the expenses of the six weeks
course during the summer.
The morning session then came
to a close.
The afternoon session opened
promptly at 1870 p. m. by singing
"The Blue Bells of Scotland" Mr..
Koehler gave a short talk on
"Phonics in Primary Reading" If
the sounds are taught it will ma
terially help the child in spelling.
The child must be able to recognize
the old in the new. A great deal of
written work should be done, as
written work teaches eXactness.
Many examples were given upon the
black board.
A paper upon Primary Geogra-
ply" was then read by Miss Miller.
A short discussion followed Miss
Palmer read a paper upon "The
Teachers Problem" The teachers
problem is the pupil,-the material
with which the teacher has to work.
A teacher should be careful of her
language, personal appearance and
habits so that a good example may
be set before the pupils. Mr. Koch
ler then discussed Miss Palmer's pa
per. One of the most important ex-
amples the teacher can set before the
pupils is her use of correct English.
Do not use unnecessary adjectives
and interjections in their presence
Never use sarcasm. 1t is more than
harmful to the pupils. 1t has ten
dency to make the child sullen and
they may form habit of being sar-
castle with their companions.

JUDGES TO

ANNUALLY

The high order of ability that has
been manifested by the judges of the
Lake superior and Lake circuit courts
has received the proper recognition
in the provision that has been made in
a recent act of the legislature for the
increase of their salary to $4,000.
Judge Reiter, particularly. is deserv-
ing of the salary increase. His ability
is of high order. He has the dignity
that inspires respect for the courts,
he is just. his decisions are usually
affirmed, no one questions his hon.
esty and it is rare that man takes to
that exalted office the qualities and the
judicial temperament that Judge Reit-
er has
The news that he is to have a salary
that is commensurate with the ability
that he has will be gladly received by
the layman as well as the barrister.
Judge Lawrence Becker and Judge
Johannes KopeIke are also well quail
fed for the offices they hold. and their
honesty and integrity, as well as their
fairness is never questioned.
