SCHOOL BOARD CONVENTION
AND TEACHERS MEETING.

AND TEACHERS MEETING.
The School Bo3.ds and Teachers
will meet together this year on Satur-
day, November l, at the Turner Hall.
The date | think is one that ought to
suit most people as regards their work,
and is early enough so that we can be
reasonably sure of good weather This
will count as meeting attended by the
teachers.
Part of the meeting will be given
over to class exercises by some teach
ers, and part to talks as given below.
The topics selected for discussion are
of vital Importance to both teachers
and school board members. Our meth
DDS Of teaching have changed great
deal within the last few years and it is
our purpose to make known the mod
ern methods OF teaching.
The law requires that the county
superintendent shall hold at least one
school board convention each year, and
in compliance with the law such con-
vention for Manitowoc will be held
November in the Turner Hall. The
law requires that every iclerk shall at
| tend and that the director and treasur-
er may attend. The superintendent
recommends that all three members
| arrange to be present all day. Each
member shall be allowed $500 and
three cents per mile in going to and
returning from such convention, said
money shall be paid by the district
treasurer upon the presentation of
certificate of attendance granted by
the county superintendent
AS our program is lengthy one we
must plan to begin at $50. The fol-
lowing will be the program

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

THE ISSUE IN THIS STATE.--We
hope that the people of Wisconsin will
understand that the success of tbo So
called Union Ticket" in this state
will approve the, following acts:
l. An Endorsement of the negro
policy OF the administration.
2. An approval of the Conscription--
three hundred dollar clause and all.
3. A preference for green-backs and
dirty postal notes over gold dollars and
silver small change.
4. An Endorsement Of Lincoln, STAN
ton & Co., and all their acts.
S. That all who are not abolitionists
are traitors.
If the people OF this state can stand
that platform, they must be ready to
change places with the contrabands
pretty soon.

SEAT WORK.

Thus far about thirty schools were
visited. My observations show that III
large number of schools little atten-
ton is given to the seat work of the
pupils. do not necessarily mean busy
work although this TOO needs more at
tention. Beginners of course need
busy work afrer they have recited in
recitation. Other classes in the prm-
ary form also should be given what
we call busy work. They need some
thing to do. What mean however is
that for example first or second read
er class when through with the recita-
tion is simply told 10 pass to the
seat. These small children need to
be told what to do when at their seats
They should do number work, study
their reading, do some writing or do
something that may be proper for
them to do. Do not simply send these
little people to their seats without
providing something for them to do.
Teachers should plan their work so
that something Of interest will always
be furnished the pupils. OF course
there are times when the pupils are
supposed to sit still and study. Teach
ers who are not keeping their pupils
busy are apt to have noisy school,
and worst Of all are training the chill.
dren to be lazy, they are forming hab-
it's of Incidence. Larger pupils are
more apt to know what to do from one
recitation period to another.
