Qoery Box. It was decided to have the different topics presented at the next meeting as to a class oOpupils. The President then pronounced twenty rather uncommon words, 'the teachers missing from one to five each. A reading class was then formed and Miss Ormsby conducted a. shorty recita­ tion. Her Idea seems to. be that the pupil should not only be taught to get ideas from the printed page, but Co be able to convey those ideas to another. It is our opinion that it she does not succeed in teaching reading Ifee fault is not in her theory. The "query bo*n was then opened Mid the contends discussed, after which the meeting adjourned. It was one of the pleasantest and most profitable meetings we have attended. The reason seemed to be that nearly all the teachers present were workers. It is| • to be hoped that our schools may each hsteia teacher who is sufficiently In­ terested in his work to take some palps to learn how he may Improve In Ids methods. Those who are teachers will do well " t9 readaarefnlly the account, given by the Ngw York Tribune, of the primary School methods in San Francisco: A / f*rgb elook-faoe Is used to teach the table of time, and tin measures and water are employed In explaining that of the measures. In fractions, broken chalk and div£ed fruits serve ^ «|illustrations. Grammar is taught practically, amusing little storiefe being read to the pupils, who are afterward fwquired to write correctly abstracts ; trap* memory. In one school the class out into the ooiltttry witliout leaving the room. ' The ticket-selling and other railway Methods are defined, the nature of the country described, with its agrlcnltund prodoctione--it ie altogether a lesson lolocal geography, botany, business tod narration.and leaves the chlldien With practical Ideas of what they have lieeii discussing. Peanuts, jack-knives snd marbles appear as illustrations in • ttie arithmetic class in this school. It Is related of a California teacher that several years ago she was much troub­ led by her pupilsV dull and listless rec­ itations in geography. On her way %ome one day she noticed a large .pool of waterin the schoolyard, and was struck by a brilliant idea. She took %nr elass out to {fee little pond next and with the water and the mud *• *'. *«d the worn-away shores of*tlie 'min latwre ocean gave them a lesson in geography that at once visibly Instruc­ ted and delighted them. One' pronil . client San Francisco educ^or declares 'that the great need of tl« schools i* w.jmOje practical iustruotion on ourretit topics, and advocates the reading of newspaper in school every moriitng, at the valuable home and foreign infor- U imparted to the pupil^.
