pub lished in the interests of the t Cherry county schools Teachers Class The following facts have been brought to our attention a number of tirnes Virst Quite a number of the teach ers of this county are teaching on permit which is due to a deficiency in their knowlege of the common branches Second A large number are teach ing without any previous trainiug in Theory ana Art of Teaching Third The teachers of this county live so far from any formal School that they cannot afford the expense incured by traveling from 300 to 500 amies to get the proper training for their work In view of these facts it has been urged that a elass for teach ers be organized in the Valentine High school during the coming winter months The number of recitations in this department will not allow us to form many new classes but we think any teacher of the county can be ac comodated in the following branches which will he taught the coming win ter term Arithmetic U S History Physiology Geography Grammar Word Analysis Drawing Penmanship Civil Govt of Neb Algebra English Literature and Theory and Art of Teaching In the last named subjects the class will be allowed to observe recitations conducted in the

Government Looking at all the teacher dose we may call it the process of teaching A process in school work is now gener ally held to be an act of a complex nature one made up of independent -and inter related parts Teaching then would name all the systematic work done by the teacher The prin cipal kinds of teaching are organiza 1 tion government and instruction By organization the teacher puts each pupil where he may work most econ omically He is placed so as to work with ohers of wthe same ability and same knowledge Instruction is the direction Avhich the teacher gives the pupil in order to induce him to master the subjects he studies Government so far as organization is concerned has for its immediate purpose the keep ing intact of the arrangement of class es secured by it Government secures 4rder which is a neccessity for instruct ion for that purpose Besides its im mediate ends government has a re mote end wrhichris the discipline of trTVpupil in habits of order and polite vness
