District of Monroe county. Mr.. Slick
sued the commissioners for damages
and one of the items which he filed in
his bill of particulars was So, 600 the
cost of fencing both sides of the canal
through his farm. Mr.. Slick contended
that it was necessary to fence the canal
in order to keep his horses and cattle
from falling in Mr.. Long suggested
to the court that this p~recaution was
taken from the natural aversion of the
plaintiff to water himself. The court
reserved it's opinion which will be
handed out later.

training. and not upon local supervls-
ion or adoption. Because there is
some merit to every system Of teach
ing reading. is that sufficient reason
why any child or group of children
should be subjected to all of them? ?
Because a first grade child can remem-
ber that 9 plus equals 8 and that

Of literature woald it not be better if

the writer that fewer omissions and
repetitions would be made.
Dear reader, put yourself in your

they are twelve2 Your child is also
amazed, even a little dazad. Perhaps
he is tired OF going to school, says he
is mot learning nothing" and wants
to quit. Lack Of confidence in his
ability to go on is one of the princi-
pal reasons why many a boy or girl
leaves school at this age and why so
much effort and money must be spent
in order TO keep the ones who do stay.
Next let us consider this individual
ity. or no-system, system, from the
standpoint of teacher who is not
first primary teacher In order that
any teacher above the first primary
may do satisfactory work by her own
particular methods, the children she
wishes to teach must have had GER

work, peculiar to her methods in the
grades preceding hers Ii the children
have not been taught by her particular
methods they probably nave not the

quires. hence she pronounces their
former instructors failures. To be
specific, suppose a teacher who teach

have preceded her grade. While in.
diyiduality is an essential trait Of the
successful teacher, so is adaptbility;
and although teacher may be able to
follow her own particular methods
more TO her own satisfaction than an
others. vet she could adapt herself to
our system if we had one.
But" you say "how are we to tell
which method 70 select when there
are so many to choose from?" How
can a farmer tell what crops will grow
best under certain conditions without
first trying out every variety for him
self2 Why the government furnishes
expert advice of this kind free to any
farmer who writes for it. Our govern
ment also furnishes statistics show
ing results from trying out various
methods Of teaching reading, spelling,
ETC. to educators Just as it furnishes
advice to farmers. stock raisers. house
wives, etc. Moreover, these various
methods are taught in normal schools
and are discussed in all educational
and in many books.
Even if we failed to select the very
best system would we not profit by
having a system?

signed is that the writer wished it 10
