Educational Meetlnlil at Ocento.
The educational meeti'ng held
at Oconto , Friday , January 11 ,
was a success. Superintendent
Pickney presided , and the proceedings -
ceedings were begun by an
address by Mr. Pinckney indicating -
ing to the teachers their duties
in order to make the m4 ting a
help to the tcachers apd com-
munity. Mr. JohV. . Lang W:1S : I
appointed secretary. The t ach- '
ers and visitors joined in singing
our National song' , "America. "
Miss Emu Hanlev read an I
interesting paperebtiUed :
sscntialsof Teachin Reading. "
Miss Hanlcl. set f rth the fact
that the child must be taught to
get the thought hold th thought ,
and be able to give the tbought
to others. If the child has gotten -
ten the thought in his mind. at
the time he reads , his expression
witl be good. The subject wa ! }
further iscussed by Mr. Pinckney
and others , in which the importance -
, portance of thought reading was
emphasized. ,
Mr. John W. Lang gave som
iJJustrative lessons on the subject
of History , Literature , \ iGeo
raphy , an A1' thmetic , in whicIJ
the process of reading general
truths was developed. t ,
A paper entitled : ' Reiati n
of Parents to Teachers' was read
by Miss Hachel Burbank , f
which it was stated that such a
relation was not as it S fould be.
Miss llurbank stated 'that , to
secure the best results , a feeling
of harmony should prevail between -
tween teacher and parents. ' 1' he
reading closed with the well I
l < nown words : "In unity is
strength. "
D'l'he audience joined in singing
popular song , "Custer
, County. "
The suhject : "Experience
Meeting for Teachers ; and
Parents , " was discussed by Mr.
) i' . O. Prunty , in which tr.c im-
portantance of the teacher keeping -
ing in close touch with tbe
patrons was emphasized. 'rhe
patrons should know , per Onally ,
every t.eachcr of the co . ty.
They could then assist the sct oql. .
Doard in selecting a teach ct. -
Miss Edna Crowe read a pape'r
on Pedagogy , in which the importance -
portance of the subject to the
teacher was cle rly set for b. '
II How to , Secure Regular Attendance -
tendance and Punctuality , " was
discussed by several of the teach-
ers. It was decided that the
perfect attendance certificate was
quite a factor is encouraging
regular attendance. If th reef -
of parents to teacber is
what it should be , tbere will not
be much trouble in securing
punctuality and regular attend-
ance.
"Gaining the Good WiJJ of the
Child , " was discussed by Miss
Maggie Conroy , in wbich the
importance of properly training
the will of the child was em-
phasized. ' 1' he teacher sh uld
be careful about the tone of her
voice and never alJow hers lf to
get into a passion. The teacher
should govern bv moral. suasion
rather than by physical strength.

Test Yotor Seed Com.
Poor seed corn means inissin'g
hills , one-stalk hills and wltak
stalks , producing little or noth-
ing. It means wasted land and
wasted labor. It means less than
thirty bushels of corn per acre in
the "corn belt" instead of forty
or forty-five bushels. On this
point , 'Prof. Holden , the n-oted
corn specialist , says : "If the
cornfields of the United States
were mine and I could give but
one order , that order would be ,
lito test six kernels of corn from
every ear that was intended for
planting. " Such testing in care-
fully arranged test boxes that any
farmers boy C ln 'make in a few
minutes wonld discover in time
to prevent the planting of the
corn from ears that are unsound
from any cause , and this year it
wiJJ be found that many an ear
that looks good on the surface
has weak \'itality and has no
business in th seed pile. ' :

A "Hard Time. " Party.
( CommunIcated , '
One of the most com1 , > lete as
well as 'pleasant surprIses , oc-
cnred at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Koo7.er's , northeast ofhe
city on last Saturday evenibg ,
when about sixty frien'ds ,
elaburately dressed in a fashion
to represent hard-times , t ok
possession of the home. The
costumes consisted of old rags
that had been discarded for
various other purposes and w re
so arranged CIS to make a gr at
deal of morriment. Mr. Ral h
Johnson and Mrs. 'V. W. Bishop'
took first prizei ! for having the
most artistic . costumes. . Mr. .
Johnson's prize bemg a handsome -
some one-jeweled watch and Mrs.
Bishop's being a fourteen karat
brass ring of which the owners
are justly proud. Mr. Ii' . A.
Bertrand and Mrs. M. D. Callen
carried away the ooby prizes.
One of the chief attractions of
thc evening was the harinonio\1s \
melodies of thc dish pan drum
corps with Mr. Johnson as druin
major. Rcfreshments ' were jn
accordance wit'h the times the
part v represented. The parti i-
pants considered it the most complete -
plete success of the season.
The Fence. Must Go.
Secretary Hitchcock is after
the land grabbers \tith a ven-
genee. In an order jU t issued
to the special agents and reed v ; .
ers and r gisters of local land
offices , he h s declared that all
fences enclosing public Iangs
must 'be removed before April )8 ) $ .
If they are not removed hy that
date , the U. S. go\'ernment will
tear them down. President
Roosevelt has heartily endorsed
this decisive actIon of Mr. Hitch-
cocks , although 'the ' strongest'
possible pressure has be
brought to bear upon the ad-
ministratton to balk the order of ; I
the Int rior Department. There :
may be some mOdifications , ar.- , '
ranged l.ater , 'permittin8' such ,
lan'd grabbers to lease from the
governm'cnt the lands 'th y' now
h ve under fence , amI in lhis
1 lanner the fences will be allo\ve , 1
t9 .remaIn' ' up6' fongas - all the
laws are complied with and 'the '
leases are 'not abrogated. 'Dhis' ;
however , will be a matter f r
Secre'tary Hitchcock to decide
'
later , and 'in' his characleristic I
way he is making no promise .
Unlawful Fence. Mud be Removed.
E. A. Hitchcock , sacreta y of
the Interior , has directed a lett rte
to the commissioner of the gener-
al1and office in which he says :
"By direction of the president
you are to at once notity all of
the special 'agents and receivers
and register of local , land .offices
throughout the Unit d tates ,
and to give the widest .publicity
thereto that the proYI ions of
said act of Februarv 25" 1885 , for
the summary destruction of in-
closures and obstructions existing' ,
in violation of said act will be
rigidly enforced on and after
April 1 , IfJQ7.
"It shall be the duty of thq
special agent on receipt of any
charge or complaint or upon information -
formation being 'acquired' by him II
from any source , that an unlaw * ' .
ful inclosure is being maintained ;
by any persoll or. persons , associ . I
bon , or corporahon , to at enc
proceed to sec.ure sufficient' data , .
incl ding a description of the
lands inclosed , witb reasonable"
certainty , nOL necessarily by' '
metes and bounds , nor by Governmental -
mental subdivisions of surveyed
land , but only so that the in
closure may bc i entified and the
person or persons guilty of the
violation , as nearly as may be ,
and by description if the name
can not , on reasonable inqltiry ,
be ascertained. and to at once
submit such case , with thc data
thus obtained , to the United
States attorney for prosecution.
"It shall be the duty of the
special agent. and he shall be so
instructed , to be alert and vigilant -
ant to detcct the existence of un-
la wful inclosures in his district
and to proceed' in accordanc.e
therewith as hereinabove directed -
ed , and that he is not to construe
his duties as requiring that , be. .
fore proceeding in the matter of
an unlawful inclosure , there must
first be filed 'with ' him a formal
complaint by some person or Iper-
sons acquainted with the facts ,
but it shall be his duty , as here-
inabove stated , to take the initiative -
itiative himself. "
