In the table published by tho Chief the
number of acres is given as fourteen.
There are a dozen farmers in Guide

than that many acres in alfalfa. Wo
know of one farmer who Is credited
with OB acres, and in one neighborhood
south of the river there are over 200
acies. The number of bicycles return

doubtless more than that many in

Dr. Howlm in his lecture on didac

practical and common sense talks. He
argues that the lutcrnicdialo ends of
Intellectual training aie for the acqui
sition of knowledge, for guidance,
giowth and enjoyment. Tho develop

and use knowledge. Knowledge com

rapidly insreased as subjects are more
thin oughly in vest iated.
Tliu book used as a text in readtiu
and literal lire is the work of Nebraska's
foremost educator, Mr. W. 11. Skin
ner of Nebraska City. Following the
line of thought presented 111 that book
the teachers In attendance are taught
to see and appreciate the elements of
good literature. They are learning to
cultivate the tasto of their pupils and
to show them what the best thought of
the world offers them. The exercises
in drawing are simple and piaetical,
and such as can be used by any timelier
in her own school. Special attention
is given to the correlation of subjects,
and the interdependence of tliu differ
ent studies taught. In all her teaching
true piinciples of pedagogy are illus
trated making the method ot each les
son true because founded 011 11 true
principle. Each teacher then may
have different individual metlu ds with
tlie same underlying principle.
Those attending tho class of Mrs.
Case express themselves as being ex
ceedingly pleased and benelllted with
her instruction. In her Algebra class
the beginners have already obtained
sulllcieut knowledge of that branch to
successfully handle It this winter in
their school. A marked improvement
Is manifested in tliu mental arithmetic
class. Mrs. Case has the peculiar
faculty of keeping everyone tiwnkoimd
making him feel us If she were address-
! ing her remarks directly to him.
