Teachers Meeting in Meme.

EDITOR PILoT The first session of
the Meme Teachers Association was held
IN the school house near MulhOlland's on

temporary president. The following were
then elected as permanent officers Presi-

MulhOlland; Secretary, P. +. Magic; asst.
secretary, p. J. White; treasurer, J. ".

Owing to the fact that only few teach
ers were present, none Of the exercises on
the programme were conducted. 1t is q
noticeable fact that those teachers whose
average standing is so or downTards are
usually the ones who are absent. One OF
their number struck the key note the other
day when he said "I'Il not attend any
of the meetings unless the county super
