McNinu County Educational As.
sociatiOu.

The MeMlnn County Educational Assoc.a-
ton convened IN the Masonic Hall, Athens,
May 2lst. 1874. Prof T.. X. Russell presided.
The attendance w5s not as large rs the impor-
taTee oi such an occasion demanded. TIE
meeting continued two days, during which
time many interesting aud important facts
wete discussed. The literary exercises were
Especially Interesting. Prof. Russell, In his
essay on tue School Law Of Tennessee. very
ably advocated compulsory education The
people present were not AT NIL ast0nlshed 10
zee move In this direction, but heartily con-
CURED with the essayist In The necessity OF
such a law. Col. Clcmentson, in his able
speech delivered before the Educational Meet
ing at night, defended with all his wisdom and
elOquence. the position taken by the Associa-
ton in this reg rd. We behold with JOY the
path that H. beginning TO open out IN this di-
rection. and sincerely hope that all our great
men will take hold Of the matter and push u
forward; and editors continually urge 1t until
our State authority will give us such legis-
lation. The necessity OF such legislation must
be obvious 10 every considerable man, and cs-
pecially Ia teachers.
1t is 10 be lamented that more teachers were
not present TO hear DR.. Deans address on
School Government. and Prof. Kimbrough's
.ssay on the Inability of Teachers. While
Tennessee ranks ninth in population, she
stands near the foot Of the list in point of in
teligence. This cannot be attributed TO a
lack OF schools, but to their quality aud the
inability Of teachers. IfCounty superintend-
ents were more rigid in their examination Of
Teachers and Commissioners. more iqdici0us
in their selection, this difficulty would be OBJ
waited.
The best method OF teaching Geography,
Arithmetic, Grammar, &C., was discussed at
length. Many valuable facts were brought
out in these discussions. Prof. Turner adj
dressed the Association on the coordinate
education Of the sexes. His address was M
teresting and instructive to all who heard Ii.
Prof, Meals essay on Text Books was good
and worthy of praise. In consequence of
lack in the quality and uniformity Of all the
books used in this county, the Association. in
January, appointed committee TO look after
the matter. The following report vas read
before the Associations:
"The Committee on Text Books for the pub
lie schools Of McMnn County, mot for inal
action ut Athens, Tennessee. After careful
examination OF the various series of Text
Books, the Committee would respectfully re-
commend for adoption the follow ing:
Holmes Spoilers and Readers; Vonable's
Series of Mathematics; Maury's Biographies;
Haryey's Elementary and English Grammars;
Venable's United States History; Cows Mo-
rails and Manners; Eclectic system of Penn
manship; Webster's Dictionary; Muson's
Vocal Music. The Committee would also re-
commend work on Agricultural Chemistry,
and Avery's How 10 Draw.
