We attended part of the time during
September SEES in, and were as'oni~hed AZ
the stage of perfection at which the whole
art of governing and educating the young
had arrived. We have meet in pubic
schools where the government AMI system
communicated in The Institute uf the
County Teachers Association Was in prac-

system and method are praclice,l, we learn
that entire success prevails. BY means of

To TEACHERS We are asked by a.
Teacher whether the District should loSt
The time of his atseu, v lille meeting wi II
the County Teachers association during
the holidays. We remark that whilr d..
LApD was State Superintendent in 1882,
he decided that districts should lose the
time of L, ach.rs While attending the
County Institute. Since then, We have
not heard of anv action in that department.
The presumption however, is, that no
School Board would Object to l'Siug the
time of their Teacher while attending the
County Association during the Christmas
and New Year holdiiays. Considering
also the benefits to Teachers and the great
improvement in the qualifications Of every
Teacher VII, attends the Couniv Associa-
ton, with the resulting profits to schools.
the districts should donate theif Teachers
time. This would be tight.
