QUE TEACHEBS AND THEIEWOEK
Moved by a - spirit ot prophecy,
we predicted in'the columns of this
great religious paper that the
Lincoln County -Teachers' Insti
tute of this year would surpass in
earnest work, intense interest and
lasting benefit any gathering of a
like character previously held in
Lincoln county. The reality has
verified our prophetic words, and
now that the first week's work has
become a part of the great past,
oonnecting itself with the annals of
educational history, we are justified
in making the fstajtement that the
instructors are' doiusr excellent
work, the teachers are attentive,
because interested, and the benefits
being received are inestimable.
One fact worthy of note is the
large number of ladies compared
with the few gentlemen present. It
is patent, even to the casual ob
server, that the lady teachers have
the call on the schools of this coun
ty; aud that they are slowly but
surely driving the young men to
seek other employment. The young
ladies are warned that if this ag
gressive policy-is carried to a much
greater extent, they may expect to
have to provide for the maintenance
of one, at least, of these disconso
late young fellows.
Dr. Bowlus, who in a measure has
some of the qualifications attributed
to at least two of the characters

plans to buy several thousand sheep
this winter and feed them on alfalfa
hay. Mr. Watson is pasturing off
his alfalfa before he cuts it. "What
he pastures is bees. Only a begin
ning has been made, a hundred
hives or so, but Mr. "Watson talks
of having a hive for every acre and
that the fifty to 200
e r -
pounds of honey that he gets from
rninnv will be almost that
much clear profit. In his exper
ience with alfalfa, Mr. Watson has
proved to his own satisfaction what
crop to let go to seed, if seed is
wanted. "The mission of a plant,"
said he, "is to produce and mature
seed. It wilrtake the whole season
for this if left to its natural course.
So cut your first crop of hay. The
plant hurries to push forth new blos
soms and yet bring forth its seed.
Cut that oft again for hay. There is
still time to produce another crop
of seed under the forced conditions
produced by the mowing. You
then have the two crops of hay ana

the ability to interest the class.and
though probably too much inclined
to run to anecdote, from the clever
way in which he- manages to make
a good point, or draw a useful les
son, from the story told, we can tor
give his tendeucy to Leverism. His
lesson on advanced reading in which
reference was made to the prepara
tion necessary to enable a pupil to
properly render Byron's beautiful
poem, "The Eve of Waterloo." was
exceptionally fine, and worthy to
be remembered by every teacher
who heard it. The great point
made was that there is a prepara
tion which must be made by every
pupil and in' which the teacher
must assist if she expects good re
csnlts to follow her efforts. It is im
possible to go into detail in refer
ring to a particular instructor. It
is only necessary to say that Dr.
Bowlus is doings good work, and
this will be endorsed by a large
majority ol those who hear him
speaks
The Doctor's lecture, "The Greeny
in College" is an amusing and witty
discourse, teeming with story, but
at the same time, containing an un
dercurrent of sober thought, which
supplies much food for reflection.
The work Miss Haas is doing is,
without flattery, exceedingly good,
and a little bird vhispers that the
appreciation of the teachers is com
mensurate with the excellent in
structions given. While probably
most of the teachers have some
slight knowledge of the rudiments
of music, every teacher is frank to
admit that the class as lid forward

making
very
rapid progress, and gaining an in

which they never before possessed.
If the teachers of Lincoln county
after learning how easy are the
steps 'to become acquainted with
the harmony of sounds, do not
teach the principles of music in
their schoolsvthey will be derelict
of their duty.
Referring to the Speer number
work which is the latest method of
teaching arithmetic, and is en
tirely new to most of our teachers,
not yet being introduced in any
school of the county, we are not yet
prepared to express our opinion on
the method in its entirety, but
from what we have been able to
gather from the explanation aud
instruction given, we are inclined
to be quite favorably impressed
with, the method. The plan will
have to.be unfolded turthor before
we can draw a conclusion as to
how far the method could be profit
ably pursued in school room work.
The work in history this branch
being nicely handled by Prof. Orr
is becoming each day more interest
ing, aud though mauy of the teach
ers "are quite backward in coming
forward," as a good old Methodist
divine once said of his' congrega
tion, yet the source(?) method of
teaching this branch is bound to
draw on the knowledge of teache rs.
and eventually the light which is
now but dimly seen will flash out
like the effulgence of the mid-day
In fact the bright and balmy
of morn is beaming

inability, are at no time prepared
to take part in the lesson when
solicited by the instructor. Remem
ber this is not bringing into active
operation the golden rule. It is an
noying tc your instructor, unfair to
your better selves, and if followed
to a consummation, will prove
.disastrous. Furthermore, let us
admonish you that,

And the issue of these notes will
occur when the teachers' examina
tion for the county is held. It is
proper in this connection to say the
willingness with which very many
nf tho fpnrhers take hold of the
work in the various branches, is an
evidence that the machinery in
their "think-boxes" is well oiled,
