Washington County Teachers Association

Washington County Teachers Association,
Mr. EDITOR i nave just returned from one
Of the regular meetings Of this Association.
Having been in attendance of several educsuon-
al meetings held in some cf the towns in two
or three different counties in this State, perhaps
We shali be allowed to puss judgment Oh the
one which has just been held at Waitsfeld,
The two days session, the 18Th and l4lh Of this
month, was complete success. The weather
and sleighing were fno, which in connection
with surely increasing interest in our schools,
called out large and intelligent audience.
The great object of the Association being to
improve our schools, there was the usual amount
of discussing school questions. Experienced
and excellent teachers and educational men con
Quoted the discussion very much to the proftaud
entertainment of all present Many practical
things were said and urged upon parents and
teachers, which, If adhered to, will surely bene-
BIT our schools.
The essays, by Misses. A. B. Fisk, and I. Z.
Joslin, both of Wai,s6ed, were nicely written
and we'll read.
The lecture delivered Friday afternoon by
Mr.. G. P. Beard, Of Mortified, was very APP
propriate to the occasion. His subject Was
Labor requisite for the success of the Scholar "
Friday evOning Mr.. j 5. Spauding, of Barre,
gave a very sound and instructive lecture on
the subject Of" Human Culture" D."
The closing lecture, Saturday afternoon, was
delivered by Mr, G. F. Smith, Of Washington.
II was an able lecture and highly interesting.
It ought to be printed. 1t contains matter i'm
portant to the public, Mr.. Smiths subject
was d" The Developments of Puritan Educa-
ton.
All Of the lectures and exercises throughout
were very good, and rendere the meeting a most
excs llent one. And the people Of Wais6cld
did everything necessary to make themselves
kindly remembered by all those who partook of
their hospitality.
The next meeting Of this Association is to bs
dcsiguated by its Directors.

GEN. WM. f. SMlrH.-The St. Adams Mes
,engsr makes the following statement respecting
Gen. Smith
Gen Smith is no politician or tool for politi-
clans In this respect he differs from some gem
erals that might be named. lie na warm per.
sonal friend OF Gen. Burnside, and supported
him TO the utmost in hisshort command. Though
friend, also, OF Gen. frar Kiln and for a long
tlmo constantly with him, he has not partaken
OF Frauklin's admiration Of teE. Mcclellan.
On the other hand we know he bus expressed q
want OF confidence 10 Gen. McClellans ability
to successfully carry on campaign Tor the p
turc OF Richmond and :his in the face OF the
fact that they were once intimate friends. Gen.
Smiths whole heart is IN the wat. lie is for
fighting the rebels until they Icy down their
arme. lie severely denounces those who are
harping about making concessions aud eompro-
mises with the rebels in arms against the gov.
ernment.
