I. MULLIN, Sec'y pro tern. AFTERNOON. Next meeting appointed at Wheatland on the second Saturday of Felt- ruary. "The How and Why in Teaching" was opened by Prof.

Canon. Sometimes it is better in early stages of a pupil's progress to teach simply how a thing is done, and let the why re- mai untaught until some future time. It is not best for the teacher to spend much time in explaining why they are asked to do certain things iu the department of school government. In reading, teach a pupil how to read without telling him why he is to read thus. If a pupil is to know one thing, let that be the how rather than the why.

In language the same rule applies in the early stages of teaching. It is all right to teach the reasons for things to advaneed pupils, where the pupils cuu comprehend them. In geography the principle- still holds good. For this reason Guyot's Geography is too difficult a book for young pupils. Arithmetic is subject to the same principle.

It makes little difference whether or not a young pupil knows why he carries one for every ten. If he knows how to subtract, and cau subatract correctly, it is not necessary that he should know why he does certain things in the operation. There comes a stage in the progress of a pupil when it is proper to teach him the reasons for these processes. The time for this pait of the work is perhaps when a pupil begins KELieioca ITEMS. Rev.

they take consolation, however, in fact that they have considerable ild stock on hand. The same is be the case with the dealers at bandy Lake. The stockholders of the First National and Greenville National Banks both met at iheir respective banking houses on Tuesday last, and re-elected the old boards of directors. No change has been made in the organization of either of these banks during the past except that Andrew Burnett retired from the directorship of the -Greenville National Bank and O. Keck became his suocessoV, and is re-elected.

The writer hereof was one of a small party of outsiders who were present, by invitation, at the installation of the newly-elected officers of Apollo Lodge, Kuights of Honor, of this place, which occurred at their hall on Thursday evening last.

The ceremo- niss, which were simple, yet impressive In the directness of their imposition of solemn duties, were conducted by Deputy Grand Dictator D. P. Packard, assisted by Past Grand Dictator B. Trurau and Grand Guide James Beatty. Apollo Lodge, which was instituted in the spring of 1877, with 33 members, now has 63 members, and a hall so comfortably arranged and neatly furnished an to render it altogether a desirable place to be.

Aside from its minor advantages, the Order has insurance feature which alone ought to recommend it as a worthy Institution. Each member carries a' $2,000 policy "on his life, which, at his decease, is made up to his widow or egai heirs by assessments. The assessments last year averaged only ibout til to each member.

changing of teachers is based on the assumption that the teacher is either disqualified or is incompetent. If a teacher is not fit to examine his own school, he is not fit to examine another school. A good plan would be for the County Superintendent to prepare liste of questions for different schools. "Should Spelling be taught in Connection with other Branches or as a separate Branch?" Mr. Davinney answered that he would teach it both ways.

"I was sent for by my friend," was diagrammed by Mr. This sentence was further discussed by members of the Association. Mr. Rose replied to a number of Interesting questions on the sentence. "At what Age should a Pupil take up.the Text-Book of Grammar?" Prof.

Porter thinks about the time he begins to read in the Fifth Reader. The matter, however, depends somewhat on the capacity and progress'of the pupil. "Should we as Teachers encourage the 'Spelling Reform' J. C. Brown thinks that teachers should not introduce this so-called "reform" into their schools without official authority.

Prof. Canon thinks this reform should be gradual, not so radical as the reformers wish to make it. The rules 6f the Spelling Reform Association were read before the meeting. "Without the Co-operation of the Parents, how can Regular Attendance be Secured Mr. Lightner replied that if the proper incentives to study are presented, there will be no difficulty about tbe pupils' attendance.

Prof. Canon thinks it is part of a teacher's duty to educate the parents so that they will take more interest in school matters. It is a good plan to send for a pupil when he is absent without any excuse known to tbe teacher. J. C.

Brown thinks there should be a wall-established system of excuses, by which parents would be notified of the absence of their children, and requested to furnish an excuse. "In what does Zeal in the Teacher Differ from that necessary to Success in any other Work or Profession J. C. Brown answered, "In nothing." To succeed In any business a fair knowledge of that business is necessary. Then there must be close at- tion given to It.

There must be energy and enterprise exercised and displayed The indolent business man will not succeed. So also the teacher should understand his business, and give close and intelligent attention thereto. He should be zealous, wide-awake and discreetly energetic, There is no place equipped school for a lazy, heavy, sluggish teacher.

The By-Laws of the Company are soar- ranged as to insure only withiti the limits of the county. Many of its features are original, and thus far it has been a success. All premiums aud 'assessments collected off tbe insured is all again distributed to those who have sustained loss and for expenses of'conducting business of the company; therefore, none of the policy-holders' money is expended outside pf the county. It in claimed by many that the mutual plan of insuring is the safest, aud on an average will cost less than the average of the stock plan. aVeetanc.

The Iron Ore Sapply. The Pittsburgh Leader says a further, advance on bar iron to four cents per pound is expected by the iron men in the near future. A prominent steel rail manufacturer has declined to take an order for steel rails at $79 per ton. At present it is possible to buy on immediate delivery at ruling rates, but no mill in this section will sell on future.dellvery. In fact, the boom in iron has transcended the expectations of tbe trade, and while an advance in iron was desired, it was not wanted all iu a ruth.

"The great problem for 1880," said a veteran iron manufacturer recently, "will be the question of supplying ore for onr The present facilities are Inadequate to supply the demand:" BelHna- Out at Con.
