The teachers OF Falrbank and adjoining
townships met in the school house at 10
Q clock, and organized by electing ). u.
Pierce President ana Geo. L. Harwool
Secretary.
The President stated the object of the as
ISOLATION, saying that it was necessary for
the teachers to do with cheertulness all the
work assigned them thereby showing thai
ouuk. cheerful obedience of pupils under
their charge.
Miss. Lazz,e Curtis and j. p. Strong were
appointed critics.
Music by the Association.
Association then listened to an essay by
Miss Lizzie HARDWOOD. SUBJECT, Teachers
Associations" calling the attention OF teach
era to the Importance Of thorough prepara-
ton for the daily associations OF the school
ram. a cultivation OF an interest in all
that interests the children, and urging them
to have care, lest III culbltg the proud
spirit under their charge, they break II.
Anexercise in advanced reading, with
class OF teachers, was copducted by Mr.. ).
p. Strong. Mr.. Strong required the class
to take their places upvn the recitation seat
at the sound OF the bell. Calling upon som
member OF the class, caused them TO stand
and read a paragraph; II read correctly be
would allow another member OF the class to
read the next section; provided 1t was not
| read correctly. he would cause different
| members OF the class to read until 1t was
| rendered satisfactorily. Mr.. Strons's meth,
! cd WIS thoroughly discussed by the assocl-
alton and generally considered to be a good
/ one.
Essay by G.. +. Harwood. Subject,
"Nesessary qualifications OF true leach
| er."
Music by the Assocl alton.
Association adjourned to meet az 1880, Z.
NJ.
At 1880 the Association met pursuant 10
adjournment. Quite a number more teach
ers present than III the morning. Prof..
While and class came in and favored the
Association with excellent music, which did
n GREAT amount of good; enllyening the ex-
ercises, giving that life to it which nothing
but music can 40.
Miss Anna Carroll favored tho Associa.
ton with an excellent essay. Subject
uVirluh and Generosity" 1t was truly a
noble work, showing great care in its com
position; and the principles advanced Were
such AS we're well calculated to benefit every
one If taken as Il part OF their every day lit,
in the school room.
A class in primary reading composed o
puoils from the daily schools, conducted by
Miss Lizzie Harwood. Miss Harwood' :,
method is short lessons and thorough drill
She makes the pupils commit their readn4
lessons to memory as near as possible, anc
appeared to teach grammar IN connsctio,
with reading, and yet the pupils did no
know or realize that they were learning any
, thing but to read.
Mr.. H. Behold said that he did not know
as he had right to speak before the Asso
citation, as he had renowned tho profession
Of teaching, but IS this was M age Of pr

erosion, he very much disliked to see ret
rograde movement in the art Of teaching
| saying that he was very conversant with his
| tory and had the advantages Of a liberal ell
| ucation, and to a mind like his, such meth
cd was very poor one.
Mr.. Milks, gentleman of considerable
experience in teaching, and just from tae
East, was called out, and with some scath
ing criticisms upon the learned gentleman,
said that any method was good one that
would fix the attention of the class to the
subject under consideration, and interest
then in the practice OF reading.
Supt. HARDWOOD spoke for few moments,
urging upon the teachers the Importance OF
adopting plan of teaching which would
please; said anything which would please,
at the same time would interest; add what
ever pupils were interested in they could
learn.
Exercise in mental arithmetic conducted
bv Mr.. G. +. Harwood. Mr.. II. did not al.
together do away with the -four STEP meth
oil, but rapidly and correctness being bis
desire in mathematics, he would as gener
al thing require the result as soon as the
question was known.
Essay by Mrs. +. Il. Cooper. Subject,
PASSED and Gone" urging the teachers
to note the flight of time; saying that their
opportunity for assisting the children and
youth was short; that soon he pupil would
be the teacher, and they would have crossed
the "river' and would only be known here
by the good they had done. Mrs. c., but
lew days before, had los, her father. She
referred to his death in c, injection with the
fight of timeln snch manner as to touch
the finer feelings of the Association.
Report Of critics.
The query box was opened but for want
of time the questions were not generally
discussed.
Supt. Pierce, in his closing remarks gave
the Association some good instruction; say.
ing that the teacher was the battery, the
pupils the circle, and if we would preserve
the connection urbroken, our success was
sure with almost any metLol.
Association returned vote of thanks to
Prot White and class, for their kindness in
furnishing Association with excellent mu-
sic. Also to the citizens of Fairbank, for
their kindness and hospitality during this
session.
Association adjourned sine die.
The teachers slowly left the house, laugh.
ing, chatting and bidding each other good
night, feeling that they had had good
time. GEO. T. HAYWOOD,
Secretary.

Something About WinthrOp..
WINTHROP, June 18th, 1879

WINTHROP, June 18th, 1890.
As you are we'll aware that our old shell
of a depot was destroyed by fire, short
time since, and although it was strongly
suspected it was the work Of an incendiary
yet the Rail Road Company, with due cred
it to themselves, and with commendable
generosity to Winthrop, have erected new
one, which is really an ornament to our city.
There is but little improvement going on
here only in cur acays, which have been i'm
proved materially through the perseverance
of our Road Supervisors. The morals of
Winthrop are about on a par with other
places that support as many Dutch and
Irish doggeries as are daily opened in this
place, although one of the main nuisances
OF that class, latey emigrated to 1ndepen-
dence, where we hope he and his louimg
.froao will remain until driven from that city
as they were from this.
The prospect of the crops in this vicinity
are rather encouraging, Notwithstanding the
dry weather has somewhat retarded the
growth of small grains; still it is heading
out and filling well. Corn and potatoes are
doing well, but with little rain they would
do much BETTER
There is considerable sickness in and
around Winthrop, caused by the late dry
and hot weather, and bilious and rheumatic
complaints are constantly increasing, This
reminds me of successful operation per-
formed by Dr., II. c. Markham, assisted by
DR.. Reynolds, of Masonyillc, OF a boy about
ten years old, belonging to Mr.. Rich, who
has been sick nearly one year; first taken
with rheumatic fever, and then eliminating
in scrofula, settling in the legs, with an alb
cess in the left hip; the head of the thigh
bone, Or femur, lin medical phrase, had
become diseased through the terrible rava-
ges of scrofula, which had totally destroyed
the life Of this most important bone, and its
removal was determined upon, as afording
the OILY chance OF the boys recovery. This
was done successfully, and the boy is i'm
proving rapidly. l consider this operation
a nice, scientific one, which Dr.. Markham
was well qualified to perform, and if he
loes recover, las now think he willy, he
will owe his life and the use Of his limbs, to
he successful treatment of his attending
physician. Z. P.

TO DELINQUENTS.

We intend about the FIRST of September to
invest the BULLETIN in sp;ck and span
new suit of clothes from top to toe. This
information, which no doubt will be wei
come to all the readers of this paper, is ad-
dressed particularly to those delinquent for
subscription, advertising and job work, for
the reason that We expect their valuable as
sstance in the matter. The new habili
ments will cost money, considerable
amount of money, large part of which
must come from our outstanding accounts.
We hope our backward friends will, appre-
ciating the fact that the BULLETIN cannot
bloom and fructify without their falling dues
(dews) and, not standing on the order of
their coming, come right up and settle those
little accounts which individually insgnif-
cant to them, represent in the aggregate to
us more than enough to pay for the new
dress. Our friends will please remember
that we do not often make ar peals of this
kind, and give this one their early attention.
